AC: Modern One Shots

Knights of Cydonia~ Assassin's

Modern AU with riots and stuff.

The ground shook as people of all races stalked through the streets. They threw bottles and smashed expensive cars, the rich getting beat by the poor. The few rising up to beat the many.

Altair was one of those few. They were fighting for their lives, for their survival.

The government was crumbling, getting smashed to bits. This is why they were fighting, now that the 'powerful' were vulnerable.

Many of his friends were rioting with the crowd, they'd been engulfed into the cause and were fighting with all they had. Police cars weren't going to arrive, not soon at least. No one would come to help the wealthy.

People held up signs of 'No Real God' or banners which spoke of false peace.

The young man knew exactly what they meant. Governments, men with suits started wars but never physically took part in them. God will look down on them and not care, He didn't make the world a bad place, people did.

Altair burned cars with the others as he noticed Connor throwing smoke bombs back to those few police officers who even dared to fight back.

In a matter of seconds, they were lost in the crowd. Killed or tortured by the poor.

Arno had a soft spot for revolution, he craved it. He saw what Connor was doing and joined him, they threw bandanna's over their faces to block out the smoke.

People chanted and burned cars along with buildings and shops. Coffee shops with free wifi, electronic stores, fancy restaurants. The main line stores that were pointless in anyone's life.

More enforcement started coming.

SWAT, with their riot gear. They threw tear gas and marched with their rubber bullets.

Altair saw his friends as they all fought back along with the people.

No one should be controlled, men should be free to choose their own path in life.

We all live, we all die. It's just a matter of time before it's your turn. Do something with your life, don't let others make your choices for you.

Everyone began running wildly. They tried not to get hit by the rubber bullets or get affected by the tear gas. They'd get mase in their eyes and scream in pure agony.

They all started to disperse and get out of there before getting caught and thrown in jail.

Maria, the young brunette was slashing and punching at an officer who was trying to arrest her.

Ezio noticed this from far away as others almost dropped him while they tried to run away. He whistled and yelled, trying to get the other man's attention.

"Altair!", he yelled.

Finally, Altair heard his name and looked to his friend who tried to run his way. The Italian was a few shops down and Maria was one of the unlucky few who were getting arrested.

Without thinking, both men ran, they sprinted and pushed people aside.

Edward, an old relative of Connor was yelling wildly and laughing as he ran with the others, away from the police.

Ezio and Altair finally got to the woman as they tackled the officer, letting Maria escape.

"Run, find the others and get out of here!", Altair yelled to her.

"The whole place is coming down!", Ezio exclaimed, "This is a lost battle!"

Maria did as she was told and ran, she didn't look back, she kept going.

She heard Altair and Ezio yell behind her to keep going. After she passed a few shops, she dared to look back.

The young men were fighting with three other officers. Ezio grabbed one of their batons while Altair miraculously acquired one of their guns.

They chased and went into the crowd, firing rubber bullets to the opposing force and screaming that they were still here, they still fought, they still lived.

Maria went to find Malik, the one armed man. Although he was handicapped, it didn't mean he was incapable of things.

The man stayed inside his van, the vehicle they used to arrive. He'd hacked into camera's and helped them with many things.

He was the reason why they had the upper hand in this war. Malik was skilled, he was intelligent and almost always knew about something before it even happened.

"Go!", Maria yelled as she jumped into the van and closed the door behind her. " We have to find the others!"

Malik did as he was told, the smoke outside made it difficult to see and many people got in the way but he floored the vehicle and wished himself best of luck

"Ezio and Altair were caught, along with Aveline.", he informed her. "Aveline was able to escape with Ezio but that idiot man of yours was tackled to the ground."

Maria nodded and smirked. "Doesn't matter. We're winning. We can get him out if he hasn't already planned an escape."

They found the rest of their friends and told them of Altair's capture.

Although there was no government, there were still other orders who wanted power.

Now that there was no current order in power, everyone was fighting. They were fighting to see who would be the next ruler.

"Fucking Templars.", Ezio muttered under his breath as they turned a corner and left the riot scene.

A war was starting, orders fighting against each other for world power. People would be given a chance to fight back, they just had to be brave enough to take it.

Yeah I was listening to Muse which is why I named the one shot after the song I was listening to. I honestly don't know what I did, I like revolutions and have a soft spot for anarchy. I'm not sure if I should make a second part, if I get inspiration or someone to tell me to make a second part then maybe I will.

Any comments or questions go ahead and leave them. Anything else you can message me I don't mind at all. Thanks for reading.
