The Creed of Remnant (RWBY X Assassin's Creed)

Chapter 2 Epilogue

The Rose Manor, a few minutes later

Shay arrived back in the house with a new supply of dust. Suddenly he heard his ringtone and picked up his scroll, the name "William Johnson" appeared on the screen. He picked it up and set the video call on the TV screen.

Shay: Master Johnson. What do i owe the pleasure?

Johnson: Hello Shay. I'm calling because the order needs your help. Have you heard about Roman Torchwick?

Shay: The criminal? I have, dosean't he work for us?

Johnson: He did, however he devaited about a week ago, and has been stealing dust for a new master. 

Shay: Did he join the Assassins?

Johnson: We don't know. What we do know, is that he had contact with some White Fang members and unkown associates. We want you to investigate.

Shay: I decline. I gave up the the field work years ago.

Johnson: Cormac, with all due respect, it is not your decision to make. Torchwick may have contact with the Assassin Brotherhood. He can reveal our secrets! And you are the only one expierenced in hunting the assassins. Besides, don't you want your daughter to stay out of the templar buisness?

Footage of Ruby's fight with Roman showed up on the screen.

Shay: Where did you get this? What do you want to do with my daughter?!

Johnson: We? Nothing, but who knows what the Assassins will do when they find out about her? Even if she survives, her life will change forever, she will join this... how did you call it? "War with no end" yeah, that was it, and she won't be the only one.

Shay: What are you talking about?

Johnson: Don't lie to me Shay. Morno has told us about your adoption of Kenway's child. The only reason we accepted your decision is because she is not aware of the brotherhood's or the order's existence. What do you think we will do when she knows, or what will she do when she discovers the true cause of her father's death?

Shay sighed and and held his hands together. He was afraid.

Shay (in thought): Dammit Monro.

Johnson: So, Cormac. What will it be?

Shay: Fine. I'll do it, but what about my dog and my work?

Johnson: I already wrote a message to the director of Signal Academy in your name. He gave you an entire year off, you are a "retired huntsman" after all. As for the dog, he is now on the way to the Templar Office in Beacon.

Shay: Beacon? Roman is in Beacon?!

Johnson: Indeed. Anyway, the bullhead is already on the way to your location. You have an hour, and may the father of understanding guide us.

The call ended, Shay was quiet. He isn't doing this for the order, his doing this for his family, no matter the cost. He stood up and walked over to his room to pack up. When he finished, Shay pulled out a wooden chest, inside was his knife, rapier, the templar robes... and his hidden blades. When he got changed, he picked up the blades, wondering if he is making the right decision.

Shay: *sighs* Whatever it takes.

He equiped the blades and tried them out, they were still functioning. Shay took the blades and loaded up his rifle, ready to leave, just in time for the bullhead to arrive.

Pilot: Welcome sir. It's an honor to meet you Mr. Cormac, I always wanted to meet an ex-assassin. You're very lucky to be Master Johonsons best man.

Shay: Please kid. I make my own luck.

(A/N: And just like that volume 1 begins. Hope you're enjoying the story so far. This my favourite project and will be often updated. I know there isn't too many of you now, but to those who made it this far, comment if you want any other assassin or templar to appear in the story. Thank you for reading)
