Ride or die

"I don't like this, they are taking way too much in there," Mikasa said, peeping through the keyhole as she tried to listen in.

"Relax Mikasa, I don't think she's stupid enough to turn into a titan here, besides we have her ring and she's tied down" Armin uttered.

Mikasa scoffed before walking towards the window.

"Levi.. if push comes to shove might have to kill our own kind," Ava said, resting back on the wall while looking at Levi who did the same.

"Well then.. let's hope it doesn't come to that"

. . . . . .

"If I remember correctly… the king needed the founding titan, which is in Eren right now… but when exactly did Grisha get the chance to let Eren eat him?

Eren was with me the whole time and when he wasn't he was with Armin… no no besides that why do I only remember vague details.. damn it" Ayato banged his head against the wall trying to contain his frustration.

Levi and the rest suddenly walked in, "how's your date going?" Levi asked before moving to the left window to look outside.

He saw Mp carrying a minigun while moving around with their ODM gear.

"I'm not done yet-"

"Message just came in from our scouts, there was an order from the king to capture Krista and Eren Yeager," Ava said.

"What? Where are they?" Ayato asked, moving closer to Ava.

"Well Eren is being detained in the prison cell and as for Krista well she's still at the dorm" Armin uttered.

"Damn it," Ayato yelled.

"I have a question for the brat here," Levi said before resting his legs on the chair Annie was tied to, "Which district do you stay in? I'd assume there was a reason you got these powers of yours."

Annie looked Levi in the eyes, "I come from beyond the wall… A place known as Marley" She said before looking back at the ground.

"What do you mean by that? Beyond the walls? Are you trying to tell me that there are lives beyond these walls?" Levi yelled before stomping his feet on the chair again.

"She's not lying, there is life beyond these walls, in fact, a lot of countries" Ayato uttered.

They all gasped, surprised since it went against everything that they believed in.

"Ayato what are you talking about… there's no way, we've been taught" Armin was confused but still wanted to understand.

"Exactly taught, they never wanted any of you to know about the outside world, your Freedom was basically stolen from you, I know that much" Ayato uttered.

"No way"

"So you're saying there are actually people beyond these walls, you mean there are other walls," Levi asked.

"Truly fascinating, the closer we get to the truth the farther away it becomes"

"Kinda hard to explain all at once, which is why I need the power of the founding titan… I know there's a way I can harness its powers but damn my mind is foggy. I might not remember much but I do know one thing, our best bet is in the seller" Ayato uttered.

Ayato walked up to Annie and grabbed her hands again, "Let's try this one more time" he grabbed her hand and looked into her past again before falling to the ground with a serious look on his face.

"But if there are lives outside these walls, then… how do they know so much about what's within our walls," Armin thought to himself.

"Getting your hands on the founding titan and Krista might be a way to bring back your memories," Annie said.

"What does that she have to do with the freaking poison in my body?" Ayato asked.

"No, she has a point" Hange uttered

"Your ability to see people's past all started right after you made hand contact with Krista," Hange said.

"You're right… I can't say I'm thrilled but it's worth a shot." Ayato walked towards her with a serious face, "We are running out of time so I want to ask you… do you view us as an ally or an enemy?".

"If your goal is to take out the Predator titan, then I'll work with you all the way" Annie uttered.

"What are you doing?"Mikasa yelled.

"I trust her, she just helped us in many ways but one, I think we can give her the benefit of the doubt."

"You're soft-hearted, that's not a good thing at this point, she dies" Mikasa pulled out her blades and started walking towards Annie.

"Let's just calm down okay… look I agree, we can't trust her she has killed too many of our allies for that" Ava uttered.

"I saw it for myself, she was being controlled by the blood, it has happened to me a lot of times… Who kidnaps a person and comes to check on them every day to give them fruits" Ayato uttered.

Annie quickly looked up at him, surprised that he knew it was her.

"Yeah, you can't hide yourself from you now can you?" Ayato said, looking at Annie before turning back to Mikasa, "listen… I'm not saying she's stable, that's why I want you to go with her if she tries anything funny."

"Fine… but the slightest change and I'm chopping her head off" Mikasa uttered before placing her blades back in the ODM gear.

Levi sighed, "This is becoming a real hassle" He gestured telling everyone to move closer as he told them the plan.

. . . . .

Levi, Ayato, and Mikasa went after Eren Yeager, while Ava and Annie went after Krista, leaving Hange and Armin to head back to headquarters and get help from their comrades.

Levi already wrote down what they found out from Annie on a sheet of paper and gave one of the scouts to give to Commander Erwin.

Meanwhile, the Mps were moving all around looking for any sign of the scouts or Levi squad while still on their mission to capture Krista and Eren Yeager.

"What the hell is going on in this world?" Jean said, sleeping on the bed as he turned his head to his other side.

"What do you mean?" Connie asked.

"You saw it right, Reiner turned into the armored titan and Berthold was nowhere to be seen after the clash" Jean frowned, "Not to speak about the fact that Annie has always been the female titan".

"They were all close comrades of ours… I don't know who to trust anymore, feels like every one of my friends is a titan" Jean said.

"I know how you feel but do you think we made the right decision, we escorted Eren to his jail, we should have done something" Sasha uttered.

"Come now… you don't really expect us to fight the MPs, these guys hold freaking guns" Jean uttered.

"But still," Sasha said before Hange and Armin burst in.

"Okay, Levi squad, who wants to go on an adventure," Hange said with a smile on her face.
