Assassin's Feline Passion

The Animus

It the early hours of the morning when Jirou and Aizawa returned from the mission. The other Assassins were inside the UA Bureau when the two walked in, noticeably grim expressions on their faces.

Nezu: "Welcome back! Tsutsumi's already going through the files on the Apple. Where is Mentor Altair?"

Tomoko: "Yeah, where's Izuku?"

Jirou looked to Aizawa who nodded. She then stepped forward and handed Tomoko Izuku's Hidden Blades.

Jirou: "We were surrounded by guards, the only way out was through the door. He gave me an opening to run, but it cost him his freedom. He's been captured by the Templars."

Tomoko: "W-what?"

Aizawa: "It's true. Jirou, tell them the rest."

Jirou: "They're keeping him alive, they need him."

Tsutsumi: "What for?"

Jirou: "They believe his ancestors had some sort of knowledge of the Apple and it's whereabouts. They can view the memories of someone's ancestors and see their lives somehow."

A bang was heard and everyone turned to see Rock Lock had pounded his fist onto a table.

Rock Lock: "Dammit. We need to get him back."

Aizawa: "We can't yet."

Rock Lock: "And why the hell not?"

Aizawa: "We fell into their hands. Vidic knew we were after the Apple. Abstergo will be fully guarded after this."

Nezu: "I have a solution!"

Ryukyu: "What is it?"

Nezu: "It's simple! All we need is Hagakure from 1-A!"

Aizawa: "She's not fit for this life Nezu."

Nezu: "Oh I know, which is why while you're training her, we need her to believe this is a Black Ops stealth mission. Perfect for her quirk."

Shoji: "The prospect of a Black Ops mission might keep her interested."

Aizawa sighed.

Aizawa: "Fine. I'll start tomorrow, and I mean tomorrow, not five hours from now. I need sleep after tonight."

Nezu: "It's alright, Thirteen will take your place for today."

With that, all but Tomoko left the room. She stared at Izuku's blades, tears threatening to spill from her eyes, before beginning to talk to herself.

Tomoko: "Don't forget your promise Izuku."

Just then, a clawed hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned her head to see it was Ryukyu.

Ryukyu: "It's okay. We'll get him back and when we do, I know just where to hide Vidic's body."

She then licked her lips. Tomoko allowed a small smile to appear on her face.

Izuku slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a familiar room. He looked to his left to see Vidic's desk, then he looked to his right just to see his gear hung up on a wall like a hunter's trophy. When he tried to move his arms, he found he was strapped down.

Vidic: "Ah, you're awake, good."

Izuku whipped his head over to where the voice came from and saw the doctor.

Izuku: "Vidic. Why am I still here?"

Vidic: "To have your genetic memories viewed of course. Why do you think your strapped to the Animus?"

Izuku: "Animus?"

Izuku looked down at what he was strapped to, only to see he was strapped to the bed like device he had vaulted over to fight the guards.

Izuku: "You know it's only a matter of time before I'm rescued, right?"

Vidic: "Oh I know, but by the time you are, we will have already extracted the information we need. Now sit back and relax, we're going to sort through your mother's side first."

Izuku: "Always wanted an accurate history lesson. Good luck finding anything we won't have as well."

Vidic remained silent as he began to type on a control panel attached to the Animus. A clear, round, glass screen then came into Izuku's view. He also felt a small prick on his wrist as the machine presumably took some of his DNA.

Vidic: "See you in a few hours."

Izuku: "Wha-"

The machine then fully activated and pulled Izuku into a vast white void. Infeont of him, another man materialized. He had long green hair tied in a bun, armor, and a katana on his waist. Then Vidic's voice was heard, though Izuku couldn't find where it was coming from

Vidic: "Meet Ohnoki Shimura, high ranking member of the Templar Order during the late Edo Period."

Izuku walked over to the man, though he showed no reaction.

Vidic: "He cannot see nor hear you. Now prepare, your about to live through his life for the next few days."

Then the white void collapsed and everything went dark. The next thing Izuku knew, he was looking through a pair of eyes that weren't his known and blocking a strike not meant for him, with arms he didn't recognize.
