Final request!!
I'm really sorry, but I can't remember who requested it so if it was you let me know and I'll give credit to you! But whoever it was suggested laser tag so here you go!

"Really?" Connie asked. "That's your really cool ultimate idea for a game?"
"Yeah! Manhunt is the best!" Armin stated.
"It won't be fair because Mikasa can sprint for four straight hours and be perfectly fine," Eren stated.
"But wait for it," Hanji said. "Laser manhunt!"
"Laser manhunt?" Everyone asked simultaneously.
"Yeah!" Armin smiled. "You see with manhunt, there are hundreds of different ways to play it."
"HUNDREEDDSS," Hanji exaggerated.
"Most if not all of which give advantage to the seeker team since that team either grows or stays the same in numbers while the hiders typically decrease," Armin explained. "So to make it fun, we have..." Armin paused as Hanji made jazz hands at a sketchy looking bag next to her, "some cool sciency gear!"
"So to play our game, we need two teams," Hanji explained. "Hunters and seekers-"
"Don't you mean hunters and runners or hiders and seekers?" Levi asked.
"No!" Hanji exclaimed. "So a number of hunters set up a base. There is one item in there for the seekers to reclaim."
"Wait this is just capture the flag," Auruo interrupted.
"- The seeker's goal is to go from their secret base to the hunter's base, retrieve the object, then make it back to the base. The hunter's goal is to knock out every seeker. Whoever achieves their goal first wins! However," Hanji pulled out a laser gun. "Seekers cannot be shot by the hunters twice or they die. The first time seekers are shot, you will feel a mild electrical shock. Second time, you dead."
Isabel slowly raised up her hand.
"No, it won't actually kill you," Hanji said. As a response, Isabel lowered her hand
"However, seekers get some fun too," Armin exclaimed. "They will be getting a 'dart gun' which merely shoots a signal. Getting struck by this signal causes instant paralysis. While hunters can kill, seekers can paralyze."
"That sounds dangerous," Levi stated.
"It's all perspective, Levi," Hanji smiled.
"You said we'd be getting mild electric shocks and paralysis," Jean pointed out. "Sounds pretty dangerous to me."
"Well it's not like you're gonna die," Armin reassured. "Now! Time for teams! Jean and Eren are Team captains."
"Ready?" Eren asked as he faced Jean.
"Of course I am," Jean replied.
They glared at each other intensely, their competitive spirits creating an aura around them that was almost suffocating.
"ROCK, PAPERS, SCISSORS, SHOOT!" They shouted. Both of them looked down to see that Eren chose scissors.
And so did Jean. Ymir snickered.
This earned her a quick slap on the arm from Christa who chided her with "Ymir, you useless lesbian."
Jean and Eren try again, but this time, even chose rock.
"HA!" Eren exclaimed. "So I'm picking first! I choose..."
Jean stared at him. "This isn't going to be a surprise."
Eren dramatically raised a hand and pointed it at the most capable player anyone could have on their team. "Levi!"
"Wow, what a surprise," Ymir said sarcastically.
"I didn't see that coming," Jean joined.
"Shocker," Armin stated.
"I wouldn't have been able to guess," Levi said as he hoped onto the sarcasm train.
"Shut up, guys!" Eren whined.
"Mikasa!" Jean shouted.
"I'm getting flashbacks to capture the flag," Erwin said under his breath.
"If it's any consolation, I'm probably going to get chosen last," Armin uttered.
"Armin!" Eren said.
At that moment, Armin's eyes lit up. He felt his legs buckle under him as he fell onto his knees. He looked up to the sky, hands outstretched as he cried out: "I'M FINALLY DEEMED AS USEFUL!"
"You're stepping on my sweater!" Eren continued.
Armin glanced down to see that he was indeed on Eren's sweater.
"Oh," he said as the realization hit him.
"Eh, what the heck, join us, Armin!" Eren gestured over to him.
Armin's face once again lit up with glee as he took the spot next to his best friend.
Jean's group which consisted of Mikasa, Mike, Marco, Ymir, Hanji, Bertolt, Erd, Auruo, Petra, Farlan, and Nanaba.
Eren's hand picked team was Levi, Armin, Annie, Reiner, Erwin, Connie, Gunther, Sasha, Isabel, Christa, and Moblit.
"So!" Armin called out. "We shall flip a coin. Heads or tails?"
"Heads," Eren stated.
"Tails," Jean replied.
"Alright," Armin said before flipping the coin.
"Is that a Chuck-E-Cheese token?" Eren asked.
"Eren, you're my closest friend. I trusted you and I can't believe you're calling me out like this," Armin whined.
Armin flipped the coin. "The great mystical coin says that Eren gets to chose his team of preference first."
"We're going to be the hunters!" Eren exclaimed proudly.
"Dammit, I wanted to be hunters!" Jean shouted.
Marco laughed as he gave Jean a reassuring pat on the back. "Hey at least we aren't the ones being paralyzed with a Hanji-developed laser gun!"
"Nevermind! I call seekers!" Eren declared.
Jean threw his hands up in the air in frustration. "Oh, what the hell, man!"
"So that means Eren and squad are seekers." Hanji stated. "So Jean, when we get to the base tell them where and what they are looking for through message."
"Got it," Jean nodded. As the entire team turned around to follow Jean, he faced the seekers one last time, and shouted. "Prepare to eat dirt, you useless bunch of garden tools!"
"Wow. Such vulgar profanity," Eren remarked sarcastically.
"Not as vulgar as your face! OOOHHH!" Jean shot back, earning nothing but blank and disappointed looks from his peers. He silently sulked in shame as he and his team walked to their destination.
Moments later, the seekers received their mission. Eren received a text from Jean stating "Marco's back yard. You're looking for this."
He then sent a picture of a very large baby blue bralette, decorated by intricate linings of lace and moderate amounts of glitter.
"Where the heck did he get that from?" Eren scoffed.
As Reiner peered at the phone, he felt his heart drop to the ground. "NO! THEY STOLE FRIEDA!"
"Of course," Annie uttered.
Eren cleared his throat. "TEAM COME HITHER! It may seem like we are the underdogs, BUT WE CAN DO IT! We're like the blood in our veins. We must flow without stopping. Keep the oxygen moving and your mind working-"
"Eren," Sasha interrupted. "Did you just plagiarize Haikyuu - "
" - We will march to Marco's backyard and retrieve Reiner's bra!" Erens continued. "Erwin, do the honors."
Erwin stepped ahead of them all, chest out, eyebrows gleaming with pride. He took a deep inhale, filling his lungs with air as his head tipped back and for a second, everyone swore his eyes rolled back in their sockets to show nothing but the white in his eyes. In one swift motion he heaved forward, and boomed with magnificent volume.
"ONWARDS!" Erwin commanded as everyone else shouted after him.
-a few minutes later-
Marco rushed up the incline to his yard, his heavy black boots clanking as he does so. He stopped in front of a large black office chair in the middle of the yard in front of a pedestal with Reiner's bra resting on it. "They have texted us, sir. They are ready for combat."
Jean turned around in the chair. He was wearing a black cloak over his summer clothing with an eyepatch over his right eye. "Well then," he said as he stroked his white Persian cat webkinz toy. "I need two men in this yard, and four defending the perimeter of the yard and Marco, you lead the rest to hunt."
"Alright, sir," he saluted. He began to walk away before turning around. "Oh, and one more thing." He pulled an black eyepatch over his left eye, completing his look of classy black clothes. "Right now, the name is Darco."
