(7 Hours After The Assault To The Eldians HQ)

Erens POV

I sit in the seat of the van we drove in, I'm stuck in a trance as I see the blood of my comrade on my hands. There laid a body in the middle of aisle, we came here with 13 and we're leaving with 11 but 2 of the people we have aren't the same as when we when we first came here. I stare at the half dead body that's laying in front of me and I can't help but cry.
"I'm sorry...."

(Beginning of The Assault: 7 Hours Earlier)

Erens POV

We have two white vans that we'll be using, they kinda look like a swat van from the inside or something because there's a middle aisle and seats across the sides.

We grab a lot of duffle bags and fill them up with every last bit of weaponry we had. Starting from automatic weapons to pocket knives, everything matters. We all split into different vans instead of being all in one. In the first one is Me, Levi, Armin, Petra, Sasha, Connie, and Reiner. In the second one is Annie, Eld, Bertolt, Jean, Oluo, Gunther, and Krista. Levi's taking us there while Eld follows behind, it's happening....no turning around now.

When we come into a 2 mile radius of the facility I tell Levi to pull over. I get out and let everyone know that we'd be keeping the vans here until we have one of the warehouses secure to move them closer. We unload and grab all the guns we need for this little operation, all I wanted was a silenced pistol. It's all I needed for what we were gonna be doing, the people who were gonna take the first warehouse down is Me, Levi, Annie, Reiner, and Connie. Of course Bertolt had a problem with not going but I told him to just sit by the van while we check it out. We walked about a mile until we actually saw the first one, Levi pulled out some binoculars to see what all we were dealing with. There were about 5 guys outside but we couldn't identify who all were inside. We moved quick and got the jump on the few people that were standing outside, they had all their weapons holstered so we had the advantage. We move from the shadows and reveal ourselves, one tried to move for a gun but I shot the gun before he could do so.
"Any noises or movements and we'll shoot you dead, got it?"
I say quietly aiming at him getting closer and closer to Eldians, They all were just quiet and didn't say a word.
"Good, now turn around and kneel."
They did as I said and that was the queue for Connie and Reiner to put each of them in restraints. I whistle to Levi and Annie to come with me to check the rest of the warehouse. Annie had a silenced marksman rifle, while Levi used a silenced pistol like me. When I turn around the corner to see the entrance I see two men with assault rifles, they get a glimpse of me and I shoot both of them in the head and move quickly to check the rest of the building. Annie sees a girl come from the back and she guns her down quick. Levi checks the only cargo crate, there was a guy hiding behind it. He jumps out and tries slicing Levi with a knife but Levi evades each slash, he disarms him grabbing the knife then stabbing him in the head. No one else seems to be in the warehouse so that means we've cleared it out. There's not many more around the area so those will be a cake walk. We walk back over to the hostages and Reiner gives me a full report of them.
"None of them would say anything except for that one right there."
He points to a girl that's got a darker skin complexion then me, has short hair and is quite tall. I thank Reiner then continue with the main plan.
"Alright Annie, go back and tell the rest to pull the vans into the trees we need them to be hidden. Then we bring the guns and equipment into the warehouse."
Annie nods her head and goes to the rest of the group. In the mean time we move the Eldians inside the warehouse for questioning. We have them on their knees propped against a wall. We move the dead bodies to the back and wait for everyone to get here.

When they pull up, we help carry the duffle bags into the building and have everything set out on the tables, there's water and food as well just incase we need it. Everyone takes a few glances at the hostages but each go to do their duties. Armin see's the bodies and isn't happy.
"Eren, what happened to keeping them all."
"They had their guns ready, I'm not taking any chances."
I tell Levi that he should take care of the next warehouse just incase they see what we're doing. He agrees and takes Petra, Oluo, Reiner, and Jean with him. Now all that's left is getting the intel from the hostages, Reiner said that the girl in the middle was willing to talk so I start with her.
"What's your name?"
"It matter?"
"It does when you have a gun to your head."
She just sighs and it seems like she doesn't even care that she might be dying tonight. The other girl here is balling her eyes out but this one isn't flinching or showing any type of emotions.
"The names Ymir, what about you...Sir?"
"Eren Jaeger, your leader took someone we want back. We're here to get her, whatever the cost may be."
"You honestly think I know where she is?"
"No, but I know you know this entire area like the back of your head am I right?"
"Got a point Eren, but what makes you think I'll just tell you this without any reassurance for my own safety?"
"If you don't tell us, we'll just shoot your friends one by one."
"You think these guys are my friends? Hehe they're just assholes I stay alive with, I couldn't care less if they were alive or not."
Her comrades look at her stunned as to what she's been saying about them.
"The only one I care about is myself and what I have to do to live, got it?"
"Hmm so how bad do you wanna live Ymir?"
"Bad enough."
I nod my head and grab her by the arm and pull her aside from her comrades.
"Alright, tell me everything you know about each and everyone of there buildings."
"Give me some paper and I'll tell you what I got."
