Extra Chapter 2: The First Betrayal(Mikasa’s Backstory – Part 2)
1. The Mission That Changed EverythingBy the time I was fifteen, I had completed dozens of assassinations.
Some were silent, quick, and unnoticed.Some were messy.Some involved people who begged for their lives.
I never hesitated.
Because I believed in one thing.
Loyalty.
The organization that raised me—the Program—saved me from nothingness.
I was born in darkness. Molded by it.
I was not a person. I was a weapon.
And weapons don’t question orders.
Then came the mission that ruined everything.
The mission that taught me the truth.
The mission that made me realize—
I was never meant to survive.
2. The Target Was… Me?The mission briefing was simple.
“Eliminate the traitor.”
No name. No background.
Only a photo.
I looked at the image.
And for the first time in my life—
I felt cold fear.
Because the face staring back at me…
Was my own.
3. The Lie I Never Saw ComingI didn’t react. I didn’t move.
I kept my face expressionless.
The instructors—my handlers—watched me closely.
Waiting.
Testing.
This was a final exam.
Not for a mission.
For my life.
I nodded once. “Understood.”
Then I took the gun they offered me.
And walked out of the room.
4. The Trap Was Already SetI understood immediately.
I wasn’t meant to survive this mission.
There was no “traitor.” No real target.
This was a purge.
I was too skilled. Too independent. Too dangerous.
And so—
They decided to erase me.
The moment I stepped outside, I felt it.
Eyes watching me.
Killers hiding in the shadows.
Waiting for me to lower my guard.
I kept walking.
Step by step.
Heart steady.
Breath calm.
Then—
I turned a corner and disappeared into the night.
If they wanted me dead—
They’d have to catch me first.
5. Hunted Like an AnimalI didn’t stop running for three days.
Every safe house I ever used? Burned.Every contact I ever met? Gone.Every possible escape route? Blocked.
They weren’t just trying to kill me.
They were erasing my existence.
If they caught me—there would be no body. No grave.
No proof I ever existed at all.
And the worst part?
I didn’t even know why.
Why me? Why now?
Had I made a mistake? Shown a weakness?
Or was I always just another disposable tool?
I didn’t know.
And I never got the chance to ask.
Because on the fourth day—
They found me.
6. The One Who Pulled the TriggerThe moment I saw him, I knew.
He was their best assassin.
A man with no name. No past.
Just like me.
Except he wasn’t running.
He was hunting.
“Stand down, Mikasa.”
His voice was calm.
No anger. No malice.
Because to him, this wasn’t personal.
I wasn’t his friend.
I wasn’t his enemy.
I was just a target.
“Come quietly. It’ll be painless.”
I stared at him.
I gripped my knife.
And I smiled.
“No.”
7. The Battle I Shouldn’t Have WonHe moved first.
Bang.
A bullet whizzed past my cheek.
I dropped low, closed the distance in an instant.
He switched to a knife.
I switched to fury.
CLANG. Bdes cshed.WHOOSH. A missed strike.CRACK. My fist connected with his ribs.
He didn’t flinch.
I didn’t stop.
We were both perfect assassins.
Both trained to kill without hesitation.
But there was one difference.
He had nothing to lose.
I had something I wanted to live for.
His bde came for my heart.
I let it—
And twisted at the st second.
The knife sank into my shoulder.
But mine sank into his throat.
His eyes widened.
Then—
He colpsed.
And I was alone again.
8. The First Time I Truly LivedBlood dripped from my wounds.
I was dizzy. Exhausted.
But I was alive.
And for the first time—
I was free.
No more orders.No more missions.No more pretending to be a weapon.
I was done.
I left my past behind.
And I became a ghost.
A ghost that refused to die.
A ghost that would hunt down the people who made me.
And one day—
I would make them pay.
