I didn't know England was a third-world country.
-Rebecca CraneYou grunt as Lucy lets you out of the trunk. "Thanks for that. It was great..." you grumble, "Being shoved in the trunk, bouncing around. Loved it."
"This way." she said, leading you through the warehouse you appeared to be in.
"So... Gonna tell me what's going on now?"
"There was a reason for your escape, Y/N. We need your help."
"For what? Another treasure hunt through time?"
"Abstergo's gonna replace their Apple of Eden. The experience Dovahkiin had when he first acquired it guarantees it. The other Assassins... They'll do what they can, where they can, but..."
"What? What is it?"
"We're losing this war, Y/N. The Templars grow in strength day by day. They grow in strength as quick as we fade in it."
"I still don't see how I fit into things."
"We're going to train you-- turn you into one of us."
"What? But, Lucy, no matter how good I was, I'll never match Dovahkiin's level of excellence. And even if I could, it could take months, years even."
"No. Not with the Animus. Not with the Bleeding Effect."
"But I'm Just one guy--"
"Sometimes, that's all you need.""So that's why you said it," you remember, "'Time in the Animus did you well,' or something?"
"If you can follow in Dovahkiin's footsteps," Lucy told you, "You'll learn everything he did, JUST like he did. Years of training absorbed in a matter of days."
"You broke me out of Abstergo and brought me here just to make me an Assassin?"
"Look, there's more to it than that, but you'll have to wait. Trust me, okay?"
"Alright. I'm in. Tell me what you need."
"Really? You're sure?"
"I thought you'd be happy about this..."
"Sorry... I'm just a little surprised. I spent the whole ride over here figuring out how I was going to convince you to do this--"
"Save it. After what those Templar bastards put me through, I'm ready, willing, and able."
She hugged you tightly. You hugged back, shocked for a few seconds, thinking that this may be considered incest, since she didn't answer your question about the two of you being related. "Thank you." she said.
You walked into a room, where another Animus was. You met two people: F/N (Friend's name) Kenway, descendant of Connor, Haytham and Edward, and A/F/N (Another Friend's Name), his last name unknown, although he was Ozpin's descendant. He worked the Animus, while F/N scouted the area. As you went in, you relaxed and prepared yourself.*Fast forwarding memory to a more recent one*
You can see the docks, and the villagers evacuating to Vale, Pyrrha and Cinder amongst them. Edward comes up behind you and asks, "Will ye not accompany the lassies?"
"I was never one to run," you say, facing him, "Give the order. Tell the archers to strike on my signal!"
You stand on the castle walls, hundreds of Assassins behind you. Cesare Borgia marched upon the castle. "HERETIC!" he yelled, "RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM ME!"
"You have no claim to any of them, Borgia," you tell him, "Take yourself from here before I'm forced to thin your ranks further."
"YOU PLAY A DANGEROUS GAME!"
"I assure you, this is no game."
"SO BE IT! BRING FORTH THE HOSTAGE!"
You watch in horror as a Templar brings Ozpin forwards, bloodied and beaten. You had not seen his body on the battlefield earlier, so figured he was dead. "YOUR VILLAGE LAYS IN RUINS,AND YOUR STORES ARE HARDLY ENDLESS!" he yelled, "HOW LONG BEFORE YOUR FORTRESS CRUMBLES FROM WITHIN? HOW DISCIPLINED WILL YOUR MEN REMAIN WHEN THE WELLS RUN DRY AND THEIR FOOD IS GONE?""My men do not fear death, Borgia," you tell him, "They welcome it and the reward it brings."
"GOOD!" he spat, "THEN THEY SHALL HAVE IT ALL AROUND!"
"Show these fool knights what it is to have no fear," you signal for your archers to open fire, "Send them to God!"
The archers open fire, and the Templars scatter. They abandon Ozpin, and you send Connor to quickly get him back inside Masyaf. "FALL BACK, MEN!" Cesare yelled, "FALL BACK!"
But it was too late for them. The archers had already killed the fast majority, and Connor had slain quite a few when going for Ozpin. Making his way back into the Temple, Connor brought Ozpin to you. He gasped, "Take care... Dovahkiin... Defend Beacon... Please..."
"I will." you say, as he passed away.
You looked down, full of regret that you didn't get to him in time. "Hai sempre visto il meglio di me (You always saw the best in me). Requiescat in pace (Rest in peace)."
You start to cry over the loss of one of your best friends. "This is my fault..." you whisper, "I swear on my life, brother, I will kill Cesare Borgia myself. And make him pay for your death!"
Suddenly, an Assassin ran in. "DOVAHKIIN!" he yelled, "The Templars have taken over the evacuation boat. They say they'll kill them all unless you give your life for theirs!"You look down, realising you told Cinder and Pyrrha to go on that boat. What have I done? you think. "I will go." you say.
"But, sir--" the Assassin begins.
"One life is not equal to many others," you say, going to leave, "Not even my own. Tell the Assassins I will leave shortly. And tell them I will go alone."
You look at your hidden blades, the first ones you ever wore. You kept them, all these years. If I am to die, you think, Then at least the villagers and my family will be spared.
