Assassin's Creed | What If's

Thief and Assassin

Author's note: Thinking of a crossover, I thought Lupin the Third since he's french and Arno's French. So here it is, A one-shot crossover of AC x Lupin the Third :)

Not much going on here, enjoy!

- Modern Era -

I was running away with this million-dollar artifact alongside with my sidekick Jigen. Right now we're both running away from Inspector Zenegata, "LUPIN!" Probably he yelled my name for the third time, his plans of capturing me didn't work as always. I stole an artifact that is believed to be a piece of Eden, I never knew it exists in this world but this gold-looking orb with me is gonna have something.

Me and Jigen got into our small yellow Fiat, I turn on the engine and drive fast as I could.

"Don't let him get away!"

Four police cars chasing us around the city of Paris, I did a breaking drift to lose some of them. I poke my head out to mock them, "Still can't get us, Inspector Zenegata?" He looked pissed as hell, fumes coming out of his ear pointing his gun to shoot me but he misses his shot as always. Until Jigen warned me something, "Uhh, Lupin- this thing is glowing."

"Huh?" I looked at it, the piece of Eden glows like a smartphone at night. And it gets brighter, "Woah, what's happening?!" I asked Jigen in a panic matter. He shakes his head and we don't know what to do until it flashes like the sun in our eyes.

- French Revolution -

I thought I died at some point when I opened my eyes, I looked around and it seemed we landed on the water. I got a subtle headache, and I have no idea what happened. I turn around to see if my partner is okay, "Hey, Jigen. You okay?" I shake him and he woke up suddenly his hat covered his reaction.

"Where are we?" He asked. "I don't know, but it feels like we're still in France," I stated we got out of the Fiat. I look up there were people staring at us, but they are wearing differently. I look at Jigen pointing at the people, "Say, are you sure we're in our world?"

"I was going to ask you the same th---" Jigen got cut off by one of the guards but they don't like policemen, " Both of you, don't move!" One of the guards' demands, back of my head I got a plan to escape this fiasco. "Do as they said, Jigen," I told him. He has that look of 'you know what to do,' when he turns his head to me. We raised our hands to surrender ourselves, one of them approaches us but they have to check my Fiat. Jigen gets the chance reaching to his pockets to throw smoke bombs at them, I grabbed him and use my watch to grapple on something. We flew all the way up on the bridge and ran away from them, we turn to the corner to an alleyway.

Jigen and I hide in the haystack while the guards keep running. I poke my head out, "it's clear Jigen!" He raised his head slowly, "I wonder where we are right now Lupin," shaking off the straws on his hat. I jumped out from the haystack fixing my pants upward, I looked around. "It's so medieval," I stated. Suddenly I heard a blade came out of something, "Lupin!" Jigen warned and pointing his gun at me- not at me, at someone. Into my peripheral, I see a blade that is close to my neck. "Don't move Monsieur or this blade will penetrate your throat in a second, " the voice snarled. I turned the other way around, and I see a man wearing a blue robe and he has an odd weapon sticking out from his wrist.

"I inquire to know who are you people, and you don't look like you're from here," he says. I let out a confuse whine, "What do you mean by that?"

He stared heavenward in annoyance, then looks back at me "I don't have time to play games, tell me who you are!" He demanded. I turn around and put my hands on my waist, "You want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know!"

"I'm Arsene Lupin The Third, the greatest thief in the world." I told him, "Oh really? A thief wearing that?" He let out a sarcastic laugh then makes a stern look. "I know thieves around here, they lurk in the dark, steals money from pouches."

"Well, I steal for fun!" I proclaimed.

"A thief steals for fun, huh?"

"Yeah!"

A short silence, "Then no thief would wear such fancy dresses, whatever it is."

Then Jigen comes in, "Look, pal, we don't want any trouble." He said persuading the guy in front of us, " The trouble you caused is trespassing here." The man stated I look at the place it looks fancy with a cafe. I look at him, he looks cautious and intimidating. "What are you?" I asked him, "I'm an assassin, Arno Victor Dorian is the name."

An assassin just like Goemon? He's a different type of assassin "Well, please to meet you." I greeted, "That's my partner Daisuke Jigen," I pointed at my partner behind. Arno glance at Jigen "Tell your partner to put down his weapon," he demands.

"Why don't you unsheath your weapon first,"

"Don't get cocky, monsieur!"

The tension grows between them, I tried to calm them down. "Now, now. We don't want any bloodshed," Raising both of my hands. I glance both of them, they stare at each other for almost a minute. "I agree to your terms with no bloodshed, unless one of us started it." Said Arno, I put my fingers on my chin thinking what to do. Then I have an idea, I decided to speak up "Say- Arno, right? Why don't we make a deal,"

"What do you propose?"

"A teamwork, whatever you want us to steal we'll split in half."

He furrowed his eyebrows, "I don't buy that."

Jigen scoffs from behind, "Come on Lupin, this guy's way our league to trust us."

I turn around, "Well, I know this guy is strong so why don't we gain one from him?" I pointed. "Or- we'll walk away as nothing else happen, " I added. Turning around and start walking away, Jigen follows and puts down his gun.

"Hold on a minute," Arno called. He unsheaths his weapon, walking towards us. "If what you're saying is true that you're a thief, prove yourself then unless-"

"Unless what?"

"You join the creed, " He raises his hand near my head. " I'll kill you both if you prefer that way, " Jigen and I looked at each other, we know what we're going to do. "Sure, we'll join you." I said, "Good." Before he walks away, I immediately ask him. "Say, is this France?"

"Oui." He replied, "But why are you guys dressed differently?"

"What makes you think that way?"

"Well, I remember we're in the year 2020 so-"

Arno's eyes were round like he sees a ghost or something. "That's impossible, you're from the future?" He points, stomping forward. "Well, yeah-" he cut me off there.

"The year today is 1789, you're in the French Revolution,"

Now it's our eyes went round and slightly jaw dropped, "Huh?!" We yelled.

That's where we joined forces with Arno, the thief, and the assassin! I also mentioned to him about the piece of Eden I stole. Now we're getting somewhere.
