Eren's POV

"I thought we killed him." said Aid

The face of Ares was on the screen with Ghost team and Scout team sitting down.

"Ares, he was a Russian spec ops called Kora. We destroyed Kora with Ares but I didn't think he would be alive." said Recon

"If I survived the blast, that means he must have survived too." said Aid

"What's your relationship with Ares?" asked Erwin

"Enemies, he's the only one capable of taking Ghost down. It took us a while to take him down but it was all in vain." said Recon, "If Ares is alive, they might bring Kora back."

"Going head on with him is dumb, he can outsmart us, outnumber us, outgun us. So for now, we're going to have to scan the fortress ourselves." said Aid

"How are we going to do that? They can shoot anything down. We'll lose countless men." said Erwin

"We won't be using any man power, we'll use drones." replied Recon

"Wait ma'am going back to Ares, exactly how dangerous is he?" I asked

"He's worse than Recon, that's the best explanation I have." replied Phantom

Everyone shuddered in their seats making Recon glare at Phantom.

"Am I wrong?" she asked

"Kind of." she replied

"Ma'am then what's Kora?" asked Armin

"Kora is a Russian spec ops, formed to go against Sentinel. They followed our protocols, used our training techniques, used our type of technology and they also used our type weaponry, drills, and other shit." replied Recon

"I've met Ares, he's very loud and annoying." said Ghost's mom

Ghost came in as he was putting on his gloves. He still looked a bit dull so none of us decided to talk to him for a while.

"Anyways, if Ares is alive we might be in bigger trouble." said Recon

That's when someone knocked on our door and a Sentinel came in.

"The reports you wanted sir." said the Sentinel

He handed a folder to Ghost and he looked at the screen and he seemed to recognize him.

"Hey, I know that man." said the Sentinel, "He was one of the survivors we picked up a week ago."

The entire room turned and looked at him and Recon suddenly approached him.

"Which district?" she snapped

"Huh oh I don't know, my squad was immediately reassigned to a different district so I didn't have time to know where those batch of survivors went." he replied

"How many survivors are there?" asked Recon

"Barely, I believe 6 people." he replied

"Marksman, Erwin, have every single district scanned through. We need to kill him now." said Recon

The Sentinel looked confused but Ghost signaled him to leave and he did.

"I need every civilian searched, do not leave a single one out." said Marksman

Ghost left the room and Phantom went after him. His parents nodded to each other and they left as well.

"Is he going after him?" I asked

"Scout team deploy, I want Stohess district scanned." said Erwin

"Yes sir." we all replied

We left the room and put on our ODM gear and got on an ATV. Stohess district was rebuilt into a city now so using ODM was so much easier.

"Arriving at Stohess district in 10 minutes." said Jean

I sat down as Jean sped away towards Trost.

"Why are we being sent there when there's already a battalion stationed there?" asked Mikasa

"They probably need more than that? It's also confusing to me too." I said

"Let's just go." said Jean

I drove towards Stohess District and once we got there we piled out and started to head down towards the underground district. Most of the Eldian soldiers and Scouts were already asking everyone to come out and check the households inside.

"Captain Hannes." called out Levi

"Captain Levi, we just started rounding up the civilians but we don't have anyone who matches them." said Hannes

Hannes pats me on the shoulder and I smile and give him a gentle punch on the shoulder.

"Keep checking, Scout 104 disperse and check." said Levi

I nodded and we started searching through the civilians, taking off people's hoods, anything that covers up the face.

"Nothing, I got nothing among the civilians." said Connie through the headset

"I'm going to check the houses with Annie." I said

Annie and I made our way to the very back of the district where the houses weren't fully searched.

"There's no point in checking those houses. The only ones who actually lived there were the first batch of survivors." said an eldian soldier

"Well we have our orders." I replied

The soldier nodded and left so we entered the first house but there was nothing in it, just furniture. We moved on to the next house which had multiple rooms so I pulled out my hand gun and started to search through each and every room.

"I have nothing, I'll check the other houses." I said

"Okay, be careful." she said, "I'll catch up once I finish looking at the last 5 rooms."

I nodded and left towards this very ugly and destroyed house. I entered it and began to scan through it but there just a bunch of furniture. I made way up the stairs but then one of the steps broke and one of my legs fell in.

"Dammit." I groaned

But then something hits my shin so hard it breaks my bone. I was about to scream in pain but something hits me and electrocutes me, causing me to fall down the steps. I tried moving but I couldn't, I was paralyzed for some reason.

"We got him, let's go." I heard a male voice

"What about the others?" asked another voice

"Leave them, we only need one to be able to finish the Pillar." he said

I looked up and saw a man loom over me but he lifted up his leg and stomped on my face, knocking me unconscious.

Annie's POV

I heard the door of the entrance of the house open so I pulled out my gun and leaned against the wall. I heard soft footsteps approaching the corner so I turned the corner but it was Lieutenant Colonel Ghost.

"Oh shit, sorry sir." I quickly apologized

He just nodded and looked around.

"Eren?" he asked

"He went to check the house across the street." I said, "I just finished checking here so I'll be heading there."

He nodded but something about him didn't feel right.

"Is there something wrong sir?" I asked

"Nothing just, something feels off." he replied, "Ares..."

"If Kora is back and they're working with the TMO would that make things harder for us?" I asked

"Yes it would. But right now, why the hell is Ares here?" he questioned

He turned around and looked around.

"What if he wants something?" he mumbled to himself

"What would he want sir?" I asked

"Ares isn't the type to go stealthy, unless he wants something." he replied as we walked down the stairs, "But I don't know what he wants."

We left the house and approached the destroyed ugly house across the street. Ghost entered first but it was too quiet in here.

"Eren?" I called out

Nothing, he didn't reply back at all.

"Eren? Are you here?" I called out again

Ghost checked the staircase and saw a broken step with a hammer in the hole.

"Oh shit." he mumbled, "They got Eren."

My heart started beating fast, I was about to climb up the stairs but Ghost stopped me.

"He might have more traps, plus he probably left." he said, "Lock this entire district down, including Stohess."

"This is Annie, Eren has been kidnapped and lock down this entire district!" I yelled into my earpiece

Ghost looked around the living room but I noticed something steaming out from under a rug. I carefully lifted it up and more smoke started coming out revealing some kind of hole.

"Annie come in, we have the entire place locked down. Where Eren?!" asked Mikasa

"We're in pursuit." said Annie

Ghost looked at me and I raised an eyebrow.

"Are we going to go or not?" I asked

"Ares can fool me, it might be dangerous." he said

"He kidnapped my husband." I growled

He nodded.

"We're in pursuit." he said

He went down first and I went after him, the tunnel was hot but when we landed it looked like we were in some kind of sewer.

Ghost turned on a flashlight on his helmet and looked around. I couldn't tell which direction to go to, left or right.

"Right." he said

"Why right?" I asked

"The stream is heading towards the right, which means they're headed for the river." he said, "Tell the others."

"This is Annie, lock down the rivers! They're headed towards the river." I said through my earpiece

Ghost ran through the sewers with me running behind him.

"Why do they want Eren?" I asked

"Probably to do some kind of test." he replied, "Whatever they want, we can't let them have it."

"I'll fucking kill him." I growled

"It'll be hard to." he replied, "Took America 8 years just to find him."

"What the hell..." I whispered

"He's a different breed." he said, "Watched as both of his parents burned to death by an American bombing."

"That's why his face is scarred."

"He was considered a genius in his classes but also a very psychotic person." he said, "Hole up ahead."

But just before we were close I saw a figure standing right in front of the hole. Ghost stopped in his tracks and slowly backed up.

"Annie get down!" he yelled

He hugged me and we fell to the ground as an RPG missile flew right above us and hit the wall right behind us.

"You okay?" he asked

"I'm fine sir." I replied

Ghost looked behind him and the figure just waved and left.

"He missed on purpose." whispered Ghost

I looked at the wall behind us and it started to crack, water leaking out of it.

"Move!" yelled Ghost

He picked me up and we ran towards the hole and the wall behind us broke and a huge wave of water came crashing towards us. Ghost grabbed me and pulled me to the side around a corner just in time before the water swept us away. He held onto me until the water was all drained out.

"I had enough with fucking sewers." he groaned

He got up and jumped out of the hole and I saw a boat on the stream. It was an offshore raiding craft with 9 people in it, driving away.

Ghost quickly climbed up onto the road and he saw a motorcycle parked there. Ghost got on and hot wired the motorcycle and started the engine. I got on behind him and he drove off after the boat.

"This Annie, we're in pursuit of a boat that's on the Trost river headed towards the ocean!" I yelled into my ear piece

"How the hell did they obtain one of those?" questioned Ghost

"This is Mikasa, we're on our way." she replied

We were right next to the boat but I saw one guy aim the 50 cal machine gun right at us. Ghost slowed down as he started blasting at us.

"Bridge up ahead sir!" I yelled

"Annie, destroy it!" he yelled

But I looked over at the boat and saw Eren's body laying there.

"What if I hurt Eren?" I asked

"Belay that, get ready for close quarter combat." he said

"What are you going to do?" I asked

He drove faster towards the bridge and got on the bridge and he drove off the bridge. We landed on the boat and Ghost kicked the guy on the machine gun off the boat, into the water. I pulled out my swords and ducked the guy's swing while slicing his stomach and I sliced his neck afterwards. I pointed my sword at a man standing over Eren, smiling. He had the burn scar on his face so I assumed that it was Ares.

"Ghost! It's been so long!" cried Ares

Ghost doesn't reply as he breaks a guy's neck and throws him into the river.

"Is Kora back?" he asked

"No no no man, I'm with the TMO!" he excitedly said

"Why do you want Eren?" I asked

"For the Pillar to work, with a shifter's spinal fluid we'll finally be able to perfect the gas." he said

"I'll kill you for hurting him." I growled

"Ahh I forgot about his beautiful wife. Maybe I should have taken her instead and made you my toy." he said while smiling creepily

I looked at Ghost and he was pissed, his eyes were the same but his hands were tightly clenched into fists.

"You were well known in Sentinel to rape girls." he growled

"I never raped them, they loved it a lot!" he laughed

Ghost lunged towards him and punched Ares in the face. I quickly shot my hook at a guy's neck and pulled him towards me and stabbed his chest. Another guy came and tackled me to the ground but I pulled out my knife and stabbed his neck.

Ghost and Ares are fighting an equal battle, trading blow after blow at each other. I got up and back kicked another guy into the water. One guy came in with a knife but I grabbed his arm and kicked his legs and he fell to the floor and I stabbed him with my sword.

Ghost stumbled back and rubbed his jaw. Ares was breathing hard but he looked pumped and energetic.

"You improved!" he said, "This is fun."

"You've been gone for a long time. You're slacking." said Ghost

Ares lunged towards him but Ghost spun around kicked his stomach, then did a round house drop kick on his head. But Ares got up and punched Ghost in the face and he pulled out a taser and started tasing Ghost.

He flinched but I realized that it was meant for a distraction as Ares threw him into the river. I ran to Eren to help him but someone shot me in the chest and I fell down to the ground next to Eren.

I tried getting up but Ares placed a knee on my back. I heard him snicker and he started touching my butt, I squirmed around trying to get him off of me but he then began rubbing my ass.

"Ssshhh, we'll continue our session back home." he whispered

Something hits the back of my head and I black out.

Ghost's POV

I climbed out of the river and onto the road.

"God fucking dammit." I cried

"Ghost!" yelled Phantom

"I'll fucking kill you Ares." I growled

I got up and watched as the boat got smaller and smaller.

"Don't worry, the fleet is going to stop them." said Phantom

"Eren!" Mikasa called out

"Oh god, they took Eren, Eren!" yelled Armin

"They didn't just take Eren, they took Annie." I said

I looked around and saw Warden military jeeps drive by us, chasing after the boat.

"Fuck, fuck." I groaned

"We'll get them back." said Phantom

"If we don't we lose." I said
