AN: Hihi. I'll keep this brief since this is a more serious fanfic then my last!

Anyways, the title of this was inspired by Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes, mainly because the song reminds me of Mikasa's character. I really recommend listening to it, it's an excellent song! (And other songs by The White Stripes obviously!)

I quickly looked over this, so please tell me if there's any errors! ;w;

Tata for now!


Disclaimer: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin or Seven Nation Army.


Don't wanna hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it comin' back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

But that's what I'll do

-The White Stripes, Seven Nation Army


She never figured this would happen. She never let him out of her sight, she always fought to protect and make sure he was safe. She nearly lost him once, and she vowed to never let that happen again.

And yet...

When his body was brought to her, Mikasa stared at his limp body and slowly brought her hand to his shoulder, shaking him. Mikasa started laughing nervously, wondering is this was a prank. "Ahaha, Eren... very funny... come on wake up..."

"Ackerman..." Levi grabbed her arm, trying to stop her. Mikasa shoved his arm off her, shaking Eren harder.

"Eren... please..." Mikasa choked her words out, before finally screaming. She didn't know how long she screamed, she felt like it was forever. All Mikasa remembered was someone picking her limp and broken body after she collapsed on the cold hard ground.


She stared at the flames, at his flames, with a distant look. She was tired, so tired, at the same time Mikasa was also very angry. Forming her hands into fists, she dug her nails into her skin until they bled.

"Sir... Why is the world so cruel? What did we do to deserve.. this?" Mikasa looked at Levi, who was was next to her. He was staring at the flames in as much anger as Mikasa was, Levi hid his anger better than Mikasa.

Putting his hands in his pants pockets to hide his clenched up fists, Levi answered Mikasa in a serious tone, different from his usual serious voice. This one sounded like he was in pain. "The world is cruel... and we're just as cruel, Ackerman."

Mikasa cried, for the first time since his death. The tears fell from her face and onto the ground. She cried so hard her vision was blurry, Mikasa continued looking at Levi looking for answers. "Why... Why do we live in such a cruel world? Why do we continue... fighting?" Mikasa found it hard to speak, she ended up choking the words out.

"All... All we do is see people suffer, we suffer everyday... all we see every single day are people dying by these... giant freaks!" Mikasa shouted her last line, finding it hard to control herself she clenched her fists up even more. At that point, she didn't care her hands were aching from squeezing them, her anger and tears were hiding her physical pain.

Levi grabbed Mikasa's shoulder, his grip telling her to calm down. Almost instantly, she was just by Levi's touch. "Someone has to do it. People who are bruised, and broken are well suited for the job, don't you think Ackerman?"

Staring at Levi, dumbfounded for a while, Mikasa readjusted herself wiping away her tears in the process. Standing straight, Mikasa saluted Levi. Not saying anything, Mikasa remained silent and stared at Levi.

Confused, Levi stared at Mikasa in shock. "Ackerman...?"

"Sir... I want to follow you. I want to be your teammate. Do whatever with me but... I want to fight along side with you." Mikasa said standing proud by her superior.

Finding it hard to say anything, Levi closed his eyes and lowered his head toward the ground, hiding his slight smile at her actions towards his words. "At ease, Ackerman."

Letting her arms fall to her sides, Mikasa wrapped her scarf around half of her face, promising Eren that she will be okay.

P.S: I might do another part if it's popular enough, I start school soon though so no promises. (Sorry. It's my last year of high school ahaha.)
