Gwain Saga: Fallen Assassin

006: The Princess's Marksman

Somewhere in the desert

There was a sound of a creaking door opening. Jason just entered a bar in the middle of the desert, filled with a motorbike gang.

He sat down near the bartender and patiently waited. He was waiting for someone.

"You want a drink?" The bartender asked, calmly.

"No need. I'm just waiting for someone."

"How about just a glass of water? It's a desert out there." The bartender said as he prepared a glass.

"Sure. A glass of cold water would be fine."

"Here you go." the bartender handed out a glass of ice water.

"Thanks," Jason replied. He handed out some cash he got from Ami.

A few moments later, someone crashed open the door. It was Luna, the person Jason was waiting for.

As she approaches the bartender and asks for a glass of water, he turns to Jason. "So, why did you call me?" She asked.

"Remember when you want me to explain more about me back at Town Square? Down in the sewers?"

"Yeah. I still remember that."

"Here. A note about it. Don't read it out loud. That's the short explanation about it. It also connects to what happened back at the party, a week ago." He said as he handed out a note, nicely folded and written.

"Got it. Thank you, Jason. Both for the note and last week." Luna said.

At that moment, Jason felt the same tingle from last week. He immediately turned around and punched the disguised Abstergo agent.

The agent dodged it and tried stabbing him. The assassin immediately dodges and grabs hold of the agent's neck, crashing it hard on the table. As he slid the agent's head on the table, he threw him hard to the wall.

He ejected his hidden blade and ran towards the weakened agent. He immediately stabs the back of the agent's head. He dropped dead, bleeding heavily.

"What... Why...." Luna said, quite shocked. The gang was also shocked about it. The bartender was also shocked and slowly walked away.

"He's one of them. Those stupid Templar and Abstergo bastards. They're back." Jason explained, with a dark, serious face.

"I'll get the body. Could you pay for the mess, Luna?" He continued as he took the body.

"S.. sure." Luna nervously said as she left some cash at the table.

As he leaves with the body, the gang stares at him nervously. Luna was shocked and couldn't process what happened. The bartender took the cash slowly, and nervously.

Everyone at the bar just saw Jason's true potential as an assassin.

An hour later, at the watchtower

"Maybe if I..." Jason said.

He is trying to modify his hidden blade. He got quite a lot of ideas from past assassins, mainly Arno Dorian, Connor Kenway, Ezio Auditore, the Frye Twins, and especially, Desmond Miles.

"Maybe this could work..." he said as he used a part of Luna's retractable cylinder which he got directly from her 3 days ago. She used it on her mech arms that she always uses.

"How about a shock blade under my hidden blade?" He asked himself as he checked a part of Luna's electrical generator from her MoonTech Pistol.

"Maybe I should. I got 2 of those parts. I could make a regular shock blade out of the other one."
