Chapter 7: Living the Brotherhood

A/N: Since I only got one vote for any of the four choices in the last chapter, I decided to do all three together, and it'll take time to do so. Sorry if it wasn't what you voted, but I decided to make it more detailed. Enjoy! :)

Percy POV:
Time has passed, since I've joined the brotherhood about a month ago. I've learned the true history of what happened across the world. Of how Altair reclaimed his title into the Assassin brotherhood, by assassinating his targets, and then his mentor for betraying him. How Ezio avenged his father, brothers, and his uncle by ending the Templars out of the Renaissance, killing Rodrigo and Cesare Borgia, along with Prince Ahmet. How Edward sailed the Caribbian only to claim treasure, Piracy, and a fortune that would kill him. And how Connor fought for the American Patriots, and even served with one of Athena's successful children, George Washington, and ended the revolution. So on and on with the Assassins, Arno, Jacob, Evie, they were real heroes, but my new brotherhood would never know that the Assassins have a powerful demigod on their side, so I will have vengeance for the Templars who were responsible for Paul's death. Most of all, my trainer, Emily, was starting to shape me up. Teaching me modern combat to deal with Templars, whether gun fights or close up combat. Though I was getting more terrible than better at archery like at camp, and at the shooting range. But I was finally starting to get the hang of free running and climbing, which I thought was extreme. I climbed the climbing wall at camp before, and it wasn't exactly like the one over there, rather than shooting lava and rolling boulders down the wall. I almost fell off a couple times off the climbing wall at the headquarters, and I would've lost my life when climbing an ACTUAL building, so it really wasn't as cool as I thought it was. But though, when I first met Emily, I found her... Beautiful. With her luxurious dark brown hair, reflective blue eyes, and her slim petite body. I didn't know if she actually felt the same about me, but I just had to figure out if I really do like her, or if it was just that I missed Annabeth. I knew Annabeth was gone, but I knew she would still think about me, and I couldn't hurt her feelings, whether if she was gone or not. Besides, Annabeth was soon going to Iris-message me about, and I forget to even tell her about my dream of Chaos. What would I tell Annabeth if I met her again and she found out that I was an Assassin? I had no idea, but I had a purpose; protect humanity, and put an end to the Templars.
Now today was different, it was my first Assassination mission. Which Emily hooked up for me. It was down an alleyway near Time Square, which I haven't visited much in my life, except with my mom, and during the second Titan war. I climbed up through the buildings, past office and apartment buildings to get through here. I had no idea how modern Assassins can even do this in big cities. Anyway, it took about an hour before meeting up with Emily, crouching at the edge of the building, and looking down at a brick walled alley. Whatever my first mission was, it will be right here. I slowly approached Emily, and asked "what's happen-". I was cut off when she unsheathed her sword swiftly, and had the blade up at the side of my head. I raised my hands in surrender, and said "whoa! Easy there. It's just me". She breathed out in relief, and sheathed her sword again. "Jeez, Percy, be more careful when meeting up with me. You could get both of us caught". She remained crouched down near the edge, and I asked "what's going-", then she shushed me quiet. "Listen. You need to stay quiet" she told me, "Templars have set security around here. So I'd be careful". I'd take that in special consideration, if only I knew what was going on. "What's happening"? I whispered, crouching next to her and looking down. In the alleyway was a few silver painted SUV's and a loading truck, with the black Abstergo Logo in them, obviously Templars. There were Abstergo security around there, armed with carbine rifles, and batons on their belts, a few of them were unarmed and innocent looking. It looked like they were unloading crates of black cases from the loading truck, with military trademarks and zip codes. "Alright Percy. Look around here. All the Templars here are keeping their shipments away from public eyes, and they even shut down the security cameras around here. They're unloading new shipments of weapons. Pistols. Rifles. Batons. And one of them is an important file, and the a program for the Animus, which the Assassins need, and is something Rebecca or Shaun won't shut up about". And Emily pointed at a particularly guy close to the truck. "See him"? I identified him easily. He had a red New York cap, sort of Scottish, with a brown trimmed beard, almost a unibrow, and had brown eyes. Wore a black bulletproof vest and camouflage cargo pants and shirt, along with black combat boots with a sheathed knife. "Yeah, I see him" I replied. "That's Kano Dardanelles. He's the local arms dealer for Abstergo. And he steals information from the military, including their weapons, and get away without any dirt or a trail, which is why Abstergo hired him, so they wouldn't get a lawsuit or arrest. A perfect target for the Assassins, possibly a challenge for you. Kano's dead, we take the program and file. And the Assassins return the weapons to our governmental friends". "The FBI". Emily nods. "He set two snipers in the windows covering him. I'll take them out, while you try to get close to him and assassinate him. Ready"? I looked at her, and I brought my hood over melt head, and replied "ready".
Emily pulled her hood over her head, and our mission began. Emily jumped across to the other roof, and got in through the roof entrance. I leaned of the edge and climbed down by the fire escape, hoping to not to make enough noise, or disturb people inside, though it was hard to do it with the creaky rusty supports. Luckily, I got down there quietly, and without getting caught. I hid behind a dumpster, just before on of the guys guarding the alleyways turned and walked down closer to me. I crouched down more, and prepared to assassinate him, and hide the body at the same time. Once up close, 1...2...3! I emerged from my hiding, and he almost pointed his rifle at me, but I countered it with my arm, countered his fist, and stabbed him through the chest with the hidden blade. He was bleeding slowly, and he was looking dead right now. I held his body up, held open the dumpster lid, and shoved his body inside, throwing his gun in too. Hope the garbage guys won't find him soon enough. I creeped up crouching towards the arms dealer, hoping not to be found. I hid behind a Stacked crate, almost close, but then I noticed a red light dot up close at my head. Then I looked up and saw a sniper by the window, pointed his sniper rifle at me. Luckily, I saw Emily creep up behind him and snap his neck, pushing him aside, and took his rifle. I sighed in relief, and I slowly approached Kano. "Hurry up with the crates. And be careful! These things are expensive! Abstergo pays a good price"!!! He yelled with a French accent. I unsheathed my hidden blade, and almost had the kill. Until he turned, and was alarmed as he saw me. He pointed his rifle at me, but he fired it. I punched his face, and countered the rifle away, and pulled his gun out of his, throwing it aside. The bullet shots alerted the security, as they ran from all directions, and shooting at me. I ran behind cover of the crates, and grabbed out my pistol. When I heard the faint sound of someone reloading their gun, I leaned by my cover, aimed and shot my pistol at him. The bullet went straight through his head, leaving a bullet wound in his temple, and blood spilled through it as he dropped. And through the corner of my eye, and I spotted one of the snipers pointing his rifle at me. I hid behind cover again, and moved to the other side of my cover, and emerged and shot a few bullets, until the bullet hit his chest, and he dropped. There were only three more guards left, one of them was Kano. I almost pulled the trigger, before I realized that the clip was empty. I hid again, and checked for a clip in my pocket, but found nothing. Stupid Percy, I forgot to bring another clip. Now I was doomed. Until I heard the sounds of bullet shots up from the building, and realized that Emily was still covering me. The two guards dropped, but Kano still stood. A few bullets passed by me, and I thought that my cover was about to be destroyed. Then I heard an empty *click click click*, and the arguing sound of Kano mumbling in the sound of frustration. His rifle was empty, and it was the perfect moment to kill him up close personally. I got up from the cover, and slowly approached him. He was searching his pockets and vest pockets for possibly a new clip, but found nothing. He angrily tossed his rifle away, and pulled out his knife from his boot. I held my dagger in my hand, and unsheathed my hidden blade. I stood face to face with him, and I looked up and nodded at Emily, to give her the sign for a signal. "Well, Assassin" Kano said, "this is the moment where you die. Hope your life was worth it". I slightly smiled, and as I saw the angry sour on his face, I just knew he was gonna go berserk on me. He raised his knife at me, and charged at me. He swung the blade up by my face, missed, and swung it by my chest. The third swing, I countered it, pushed it away, and blocked his fist, punching him across the face. He stepped back, and covered his nose. When he removed his hand from his face, he was bleeding from his left nostril, and he wiped it away, leaving a red bloody streak across his face. "Nice moves assassin" he said, and reaching his hand into his shirt, then pulling out a pistol at me. "But sometimes, you still-"! He was cut off short by a grunt, as Emily landed on him, and stabbed her hidden blade through the back of his torso. He moaned once more, and was then silent, leaving a small blood pool. Emily stood back up, and pulled her blade out of the corpse of Kano. Walking towards me, I said "I had that, you know". "Of course you did" she replied, "but I at least saved your life". "Yeah... Good point. Thanks by the way". We walked towards the moving truck, and Emily said "your welcome, but we should check the truck for the file and the program. The program is in an SD card, the file is in a folder. The FBI will take care of the guns". Once inside the truck, we both starting searching through it, trying to find both items, but all I saw were stolen guns, all with military markings, zip codes, and identification numbers. No wonder why he was the Assassin's number one target. At least the Feds would be happy we saved them the dirty work. Five minutes later, "I found it" I said, as I pulled out an SD card encased in an openable clear plastic case, and a brown folder, both with a Abstergo industries logo on it. But as I looked at the folder, I made sure my Dyslexia wasn't acting up, since I could only read Greek more easily than English. In a few seconds, the letters formed what I saw in the Eagle's Path. A folder, with the Abstergo logo, and in the centre it said P.O.E. Project. "Good" Emily said, snatching the folder out of my hand. "When we're done here, I'll bring the folder to Shaun, while you give the new program to Rebecca. You'll get a good reward for this, and I'll say you took them all out". She stepped out of the truck, and last said "see you soon", before climbing up one of the brick buildings, and disappeared on the roof. 'See you soon' I thought to myself.
I looked down at the SD card, and at the Abstergo logo, thinking 'what is it the Templars are doing that involves this P.O.E. Project'? In fact, the real question is 'what IS the P.O.E. Project'? That's all I thought about, as I starting to head back towards the Assassin's Bureau. If this is what living as an assassin is like, then it's a way harder life than being a half-blood.
