Takedown
Javelin's POV
'Goddammit, god fucking dammit.'
I looked away as I saw Bertholdt's body get eaten in half.
"I couldn't do anything..." I whispered to myself
"What now ma'am?" asked Alpha 1-1
"We can't do anything." I sighed
Alpha 1-1 began disassembling the sniper.
"What would the Colonel have done?" I asked myself
"Ma'am there was nothing you could have done." said Alpha 1-1, "If you shot Armin it would have done nothing."
"He's right ma'am, if you shot the chain holding onto Bertholdt he would have been dead already, if you shot Armin in the nape he could have died, if you shot Eren then things could have gotten complicated." said Alpha 1-2, "We were in a bad spot and we had bad timing. There was nothing we could have done."
"Colonel would have found a way to have done something." I said
"Let's go ma'am." said Alpha 1-3
I sighed and nodded, we left the roof and headed back to our car.
"Fuck..." I sighed
"Ma'am..." whispered Alpha 1-2
I looked up and saw a couple men walking towards us, about 8 of them all in one group. I observed them and saw that some of them were sweating, at first I thought it was because of their clothes but I noticed that they were all wearing sweaters on this hot day.
"We might have some company, get ready to step on it." I said
I quickly signaled the other two in the car behind us. I looked at the group of men getting closer, their expressions looked worried as if they were going to do something risky. But then I saw more men on the other side of the street.
"Shit, we're compromised." I growled
"How did they find us?" asked Alpha 1-2
Before I could answer all of the eight men pulled out handguns and began firing at our car.
"Floor it!" I yelled
Alpha started to get shot in the chest but he drove off while I shot back hitting three of them but merely wounding them. Alpha 1-2 groaned and rubbed his chest as his bullet wounds began to steam and regenerate.
"You're fucking reckless just because you can regenerate." I snapped
"Sorry ma'am." he replied
I looked behind me and the others were following us close behind. The civilians began to panic and run around the streets as we drove down the street as fast as we could. But then there was a line of Eldian police officers ahead of us all pointing their guns at us.
"Ram them." I said
Alpha 1-2 stepped on the pedal harder and we began to speed up. I leaned forward to take cover as they started firing at us. I pulled out some flash bangs and threw them out the window, blinding the cops as we zoomed past them.
But then our tires popped and the car started to lose control so I grabbed Alpha 1-2 and pulled him close to me. Once the car flipped onto the right I broke the door and fell onto the ground and safely slid on the broken door.
The others slowed down so we got on and we sped away from the cops. Two police cars were following us so I drew my dual pistols and began shooting the tires at the cars, slowing them down.
"Let's go..." I sighed
Annie's POV
I sat on the chair in front of a desk with Eren on the other side.
"Eren, how could you?" I asked
Eren sat there, giving me the blunt look.
"You're own friend, how can you do that?" I whispered, "How can you feed Bertholdt to Armin."
Eren doesn't reply, he just continues to look at me with a blunt facial expression.
"You have to stop this, this is terrible you're purging the country." I said
Eren continues to stay quiet.
"How can you sit there like-"
"I can't stop..." whispered Eren
He then looked up at me.
"I can't stop until I eliminate the enemy." he said
But then I heard Eren's radio turn on.
"Sir, we lost them they broke through." said a voice
My eyes widened in shock.
"Oh so you did know about Riku." said Eren
I looked up at him with my eyes widened then he got up and cocked his gun.
"She's the first to die." said Eren
"Eren no you can't." I babbled, "She's a friend."
Eren stopped and looked at me.
"You're right, if it wasn't for her you would have continued to cheat on me behind my back." he replied
I felt my heart thump and it felt like my heart was being dragged down.
"Don't worry, nothing bad will happen." said Eren

Marksman's POV
I infiltrated an IMT HQ located in Beijing, China. The Chinese government allowed the IMT to stay in a damn skyscraper allowing them to blend in with civilians. This tower was tall, 120 floors and now with over 2,000 IMT terrorists inside.
'Damn, I wish I retired a bit earlier.'
"Sir, are you going to be stealthy?" asked Hacker through my headset
But then the elevator door opened and out came 5 IMT terrorists. When they saw me their eyes widened and they all drew out knives.
"Looks like they can't shoot here, it'll create immense chaos." said Hacker
"I'll deal with this." I replied
I pulled out my knife and twirled it in my hand and lunged towards the IMT terrorists. I slit the first IMT's throat and stabbed the next two terrorists. The last two tried to radio the others so I did a spinning split kick, knocking them both out but before they collapsed to the floor I drew my wakizashi and beheaded both of their heads.
"Sir, they know." said Hacker
'Ah shit.'
More elevator doors began to open and more IMTs began to pour out into the hallway. They all came running towards me holding hammers, knives and other close quarter weapons. I had to end this quickly so I ran at them and slid while leaning back dodging a swing and while I was sliding on my feet I sliced the terrorist's stomach.
I began slicing all of them, none of them were able to hit me since I was able to slip past most of their attacks. They were poorly trained so I was easily able to kill all of them in less than a minute.
"Sir we have a problem..." I heard Hacker sigh through my headset
"What is it?" I asked
"They moved the location of the meeting, it's located 11,000 meters away from your position sir." replied Hacker
"That's 6.8 miles away..." I whispered, "Got it, I'm on it."
"How, 6.8 miles is impossible." replied Hacker
"Give me 20 minutes to clear this building out." I replied
I began moving through the halls, killing everyone who came out to kill me. But then I was on the top final floor but once I exited the staircase there was this lady about 5'11, my height, who was fit, almost as big as me.
'And I thought Javelin, Phantom and Recon were on steroids.'
She ran to me and threw an uppercut but I blocked it but she hit me with a great amount of force that I backed up and shook off the pain from my arm.
'Ow...'
"You're a quiet one huh." said the lady
She began throwing punches but I began dodging them with ease, she wasn't a bad fighter probably the best if I were to compare her with the elite Navy SEALs but nowhere near the worst Sentinel operator.
I leaned over to my left and she tried to punch then I hit her pressure point on her shoulder and her arm fell limp. She backed up and grabbed her limp arm but then she smiled.
"I like you." she said
"No thanks." I replied
I kicked her so hard she went through the wall and collapsed onto the floor.
'She'll probably make a good Sentinel.'
But I stabbed her heart with my wakizashi.
'But she's still a terrorist and I have a wife.'
"All clear here Hacker, all 2,000 IMTs are dead." I replied
"That was quick." said Hacker, "11 minutes. But how are you going to take out the Chinese President?"
I made my way to the roof and began setting up my Accuracy International AWM. I also pulled out a paper map and began scanning the terrain 6.8 miles away from me with the visor. I began checking the wind and took out a bullet from the mag.
I began to do the math and began to fix the bullet, making it lighter by cutting off some unnecessary parts of the bullet. I emptied the casing of the bullet and began to add some extra firepower with a different kind of gunpowder.
I assembled the bullet again and loaded the bullet into the sniper and began to set it up, aiming it up into the air. I used my visor and pulled up the live stream of the Chinese President's speech. I began fixing the position of the sniper until I knew it was on the point I wanted it.
"I need to get the others who will take his place, how many are there?" I asked
"5 of them sir but sir, you sure about this?" asked Hacker
I quickly took out 5 more bullets and began to do the same thing with the first bullet and put them in my mag and loaded the gun. I turned off the safety on the gun and put my finger on the trigger.
"I never miss." I replied
I shot the gun, cocked it and shot it five more times and continued to watch the live stream. I waited for about 4 seconds but nothing happened, I thought I missed but then my bullet hit the President straight in the head and the camera pointed it at the President's body. Then 5 more people were shot in the head and they too collapsed.
"Holy fuck you got all 6 of them." gasped Hacker
I looked back at my math and saw that I had the time wrong.
"I need to work on my math a bit." I sighed
I disassembled the sniper and jumped off the roof.
"Get my extraction ready." I said
Ghost's POV
I looked at Emily and she looked back at me with confused eyes.
"I didn't tell you this for 10 years..." I whispered
"Tell me what?" she asked
I took the bench on our porch and she took a seat next to me.
"My mom, she told me something." I continued, "She told me something, about the day she died."
I rubbed my knuckles.
"She told me that she could have killed them all." I said
Emily looked at me with wide eyes.
"Why didn't she?" she asked
I looked at her then back at the floor.
"Because she was afraid that they'll send more after her, risking my survival." I replied, "She let them kill her so that I can survive."
Emily grabbed my hand and squeezed.
"Your mother did a heroic thing, even though she was killed she did it for your sake." said Emily, "I hate to admit but you would have done the same."
"I know I would have." I said, "But I'm very grateful, she did that for me."
Emily's eyes widened kind of confusing me.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked
"No it's just that, you normally don't say that." she replied, "It's always a I'm going to die thing."
"Ah..." I whispered
"It's improvement." said Emily
But then my phone rang and it was a notification from the daily news.
"Chinese President and his subordinates assassinated huh." I said
"Marksman did it?" asked Emily
"Looks like it." I said, "He just took down an entire country on live TV."
"Do you think that maybe the war that's on the horizon will fade away?" asked Emily
"I don't know, but right now I'm worried about the others in Eldia." I replied
"I know you're worried." she said
But that's when I got a call from Hacker.
"Sir we may need to mobilize." said Hacker
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Something big is about to happen." replied Hacker
