Assassin's Creed III : The Ghost Secrets

Chapter 33: Smuggling

Sup people! Okay, in my opinion, I think that last chapter wasn't detailed enough, but that's just me. I did however like the action in it. I don't know about y'all, but I wanna continue on. So hang tight homies. Let's do this!

1781- Connor returned to Benjamin Franklin and they had a long talk of what the Assassin had encountered at night. Benjamin was intrigued to hear all about it.Franklin proceeded to explain to Connor what was going on and what was going to happen. So the next morning, Connor awoke and saw Franklin writing in his journal. Connor put on his robes as he got out of bed and put on his weapons as well.
"Good morning, Connor," said Franklin, who took a drink of some coffee, "I have some news to tell you." Tired from last night, and sore, the Mohawk Indian wobbled over to a chair and sat down. Then Franklin said, "You'll be interested to know that while you were gone last night, I happened to eavesdrop upon a few smugglers, who were conversing about a ship sailing to and from England, dropping off secret British spies and supplies. The spies had reported that a Patriot base had been emptied just yesterday and the cargo is being loaded onto one of the ships that are leaving the ports. If we're fast enough, we could get the stolen cargo back."
   Connor stood up and said, "Let us make haste then, Dr. Franklin. How will we identify the ship?" Franklin answered, "The ship will be a frigate. It is docked there now, but they should be casting off soon." Connor moved toward the door and  then they went out.
     They headed for the docks of the town and saw many people and ships. But on the other side of the dock, was a frigate loading up with a lot of cargo. Connor suspected that was the ship. "There,"exclaimed Connor, pointing to the ship, "I will go and sneak inside of the ship. Then I will steal back the cargo." Benjamin nodded and said, "Very good, Kenway. Meanwhile, I shall create a diversion, and lead the sailors and spies away." So then, Connor and Franklin split up and went to their tasks.
   Connor ran toward the ship. He then jumped off of the deck into the water and swam on the other side of the ship. He then grabbed hold of the side and climbed up it. He looked over the railing slowly to see who was there. He saw many smugglers. He also saw that across the way on the docks that Franklin was creating a crowd of people to create a diversion which attracted some spies, but not all. Connor jumped over the side and saw the hatch which led down to the deck below. Then Connor walked toward it. But then, as he was trying to open it up, a smuggler saw him. "Oi!"shouted the smuggler," You're not supposed to be there, Indian! Get away from here and go back into the woods!"
   "No," replied Connor, "You are creating a crime! Smuggling from the Patriot Army is theft!" The smuggler laughed and said, "Look boys! The Indian is going to teach us about theft." The smugglers gathered around Connor. Then, Connor looked around him. There were seven of them, and one of him. "Now,"began the smuggler in a threatening voice, "I said, get off of our ship." He came closer to Connor's face. Then Connor quickly punched the man in the nose. The smugglers all readied themselves to fight and drew their weapons. Connor drew his sword and his left hidden blade. Then, the fight began.
   One behind Connor tried to strike him with his mallet, but the Assassin turned around quickly, and stabbed him with his hidden blade. The one on Connor's right side hit Connor with his knife and tried to do it again. But Connor grabbed the knife and stabbed the man with it. Then, Connor turned and dodged a blow from a sword and stabbed that man with his sword. Next, a smuggler, armed with a rifle, aimed it at Connor. The Assassin grabbed another smuggler and the shot hit the man. But the one with the rifle now charged at Connor and swung the bayonet at him. Connor parried the rifle, slid his hidden blade down the side, stabbed the smuggler with his sword and the smuggler died. Two more were left. One held a hatchet. It was like Connor's tomahawk. So Connor sheathed his sword, and pulled out his tomahawk. Then, the man did a side strike. But the Assassin hooked his tomahawk around the hatchet, and yanked the hatchet from the smuggler's grip. Then, Connor stabbed the smuggler with his hidden blade, and chopped down on him with his tomahawk. Then, there was one more smuggler. Connor turned his hooded head toward the smuggler slowly. Frightened, the smuggler took off running. Connor shouted, "Come here!" This was the first man who talked to Connor before and threatened him.
   Still on the ship, Connor tackled the smuggler and held him on the ground. Now it was  time to interrogate him. Holding him by the collar, Connor asked, "Where did you steal the cargo from?" "The Patriot Base, " said the man in a frightened tone, "We were taking it from the Patriots." Connor asked, "But why? And who sent you?" The man didn't answer immediately and Connor punched him, "Who?" he demanded, "Speak before I pull out your teeth!" The smuggler said, "Some Templar agent named James Pike. He works in a Templar base in England. But he is in America trying to buy land from the rest of you Indians in Virginia. He is also establishing slave plantations." Connor angrily said, "You mean, force us out of our land and take away our freedoms! I know what this is. You plan on ridding us of our homes and families and taking away all our hunting grounds! Thank you for your cooperation, consider yourself lucky." Then Connor stabbed him in the neck with his hidden blade.
   He opened the hatch of the ship and went down below, where he opened up the cargo and untied the ropes. The emptied the ship through at process. After a while he loaded the cargo onto a horse-drawn trailer and hired a carriage driver to take it back to the Patriot Base with papers that held evidence of smuggling and spying. After that was done, Connor Kenway and Benjamin Franklin went back to the inn where they packed up their things, called a carriage driver, and headed back to New York where the rest of the Assassins were.
