Assassins's Creed Human Revolution

[Ponyville]

“What’s wrong with you all? Chaining these intelligent beings like lesser beast! Rise up humans, we will be with you!” She said raising her fist in the air causing the other ponies behind her to do the same.

“Ok, what’s the commotion?” A guard said walking near the protesters.

“You know why, oppressor!” She said.

“Oh, it’s just you, again.” He said casually.

“These lands are supposed to be home of love and tolerance to everyone, why can’t humans be too?”

“Alright, Lyra, this is your third and final strike. You have to come down to the station with me.” Reaching her arm she quickly used her opposite hand and slapped him causing the other ponies behind her to start fighting the other guards coming to rescue their fellow worker.

As the riot continues to grow more and more it was the sound of a gun going off that really set the market go straight to hell. The one who got was the guard who got slapped from the mint green unicorn. As his blood poured out of the massive hole from his head, a dark blue hooded figure climbed down a tree, planted the weapon on a dead human, and turned to the two guard mares what to do.

“Wait a couple of hours and give them this body, say that you both had no choice but to use deadly force to apprehend this killer.”

“Yes ma’am.” They said in unison.

Dragging the body somewhere else the hooded figure pulled down the hood to let reveal a young boy, his long onyx hair falling down to his shoulders as he looks back at the fighting down below.

“I really wish they can tell I am a boy.” He said glumly.

“Maybe if you cut your hair they can tell you’re a guy.” Another male voice said.

Turning around to see who is behind him, he saw another hooded figure leaning his back on the tree.

“Your late, saint fleur, you were supposed to take the shot.”

“Not my fault, I needed to help my dad with a charity at Canterlot. Also, can you just call me Saint; I hate it when other uses my full name.” Taking his hood down to show his face, Saint moved his head left and right to let his long blond hair flow down to his elbows, his bright blue eyes looking down at the market began to tell his friend the news.

“Orpheus is with his mother helping her at a club down in Manehatten.”

“Then we should get back to the castle, I need to file my report for the day.” Rummaging in his pocket, he pulled out a large red sack, threw it in the air, fired his gun, and a plume of red scattered around them as a signal for retrieval.

After the red cloud dissipated from the sky, a golden chariot flew down from the sky and landed next to the two humans.

“Seriously, I just came from Canterlot an hour ago, and now I’m going back.”

“I’m sure an hour at the castle spa will help you change your mind.” He said to Saint.

Weighing his options, Saint jumped in the chariot and said, “You know, I heard Canterlot is especially wonderful this time of year.

[Canterlot Castle]

“AAHHH… yeah right on that spot, I really need this every time we come back from a mission.” Saint said as his back is being massaged.

“Enjoy it while you can, as soon as the maids tell word that we returned she’s going to come get us.” He said taking a soak in an herbal hot spring.

“Mostly you, I mean she is your-“

“Sir,” A guard rushed in and interrupted Saint’s sentence. “She needs you in your chambers immediately.”

*Sigh* “I knew this would happen,” Leaving the hot springs he grabbed his cloths and headed to his room. “I will see you at the dinner table in a few, Saint”

“Take your time, dude. I’m going to finish up with a good foot message.”

Walking along the guard to his room, he opened the twin doors to be face-to-face with the night ruler, Princess Luna.

“Thank you, guard. Leave us be.” She told him. He bowed, turned around, and closed the do leaving only the two in the room.

Right in front of him is the other co-ruler of Equestria and the ruler of the night realm and the dream realm. No one dares to be in her presence for long, since she is well known for her cold stare and over powering presence makes any one fear her.

*GLOMP* with a quick motion from her arms she embraced the boy and lifted him up in the air. Her cold expressionless face soon morphed in to a happy face full of joy for holding the young man.

“It’s good to see you again, mother.”

“NO!” Dropping her son on the floor she began to shout at him. “Do not call me ‘mother’ you call me MAMA!”

*Sigh*”Yes…mama.” He said uncomfortably to her.

“YAY,” Hugging her child again, she put him back down and asked him what he did.

“I just finished a small assassination from a guard who was secretly human sympathizer who was working as a guard in Ponyville. By now the spies I planted in the town will not only take down any other guards secretly helping human slaves, but put all the blame on that little radical group slowly gaining some popularity.”

“Congrats, Artemis, I expect no less from our most skilled Templar. Come, let us meet my sister at the dinner table, I’m sure your friend will be there.”

Walking besides her to the large dining room, Artemis saw Saint scarfing down plates of waffles and drinking large quantities of milk. Giving him a hand of as acknowledgment, Artemis sat next to his mother and waited for his meal to arrive.

As they ate their food in silence the two humans and alicorn heard the doors opened as Princess Celestia enter the room and sat next to her younger sister.

“Nice to see you, Luna, Artemis, and I see that Saint Fleur is already feeling right at home in the castle.” She said looking at Saint scarfing down waffles and downing them with maple syrup.

“It is also nice to see you as well, sister, but where is your-“ As she was about to ask her question, the doors swung wide open and a small white blur ran across the table and tackled the solar ruler down to the floor.

“Mommy!” The little boy shouted gleefully.

“There’s my little sun shine.” She said to him. On top of the solar ruler was a young boy with dirty blond short hair, bright azure eyes, and suntanned skin who was holding his mother his a hug.

“I thought you were still studying your math, Apollo?” Celestia asked her son. Getting back up from the floor she sat back on her chair with the added weight of her child on her lap.

“I already knew my math, so I finished early.” Apollo told her.

Seeing as the two had their own conversation, Luna looked back at her son eating his scrambled eggs without saying another word to her. Luna looked back at her sister, Celestia, feeding Apollo breakfast gave her a bright idea with Artemis.

“Artemis, do you want to sit on your mama’s lap, like old times?” She asked him.

“Are you actually asking your 22 year old son if he should sit on your lap?” He asked skeptically.

“Don’t try and make your mama sound like a creeper. Now, open wide, I want you to try this new dish the chef made.” Taking a little scoop with her spoon, Luna pointed it to Artemis and waited for him to open his mouth and eat it.

“Are you now asking your 22 year old son to be spoon fed?” Artemis asked her again.

“Hey, at least she’s trying to make a family moment with you, dude.” Saint told Artemis.

“Speaking of family moment, I’m going on a little stroll with Apollo, so I am leaving to rest to you, Luna” Leaving to dining room, Celestia held her son’s hand and left the small group alone.

Seeing as her chance for having a moment with her son is over, Luna’s face turned back to her emotionless demeanor and gave the two Templars the new mission.

“If you haven’t heard the newspaper yet, then I will inform you that Prince Blueblood was killed.”

“We know that already, ma’am. Most of the people and the ponies working at the castle held a small celebration.” Saint told Luna.

“Then you must already know that the culprit was the griffons. My sister and I will be heading at a neutral zone with the griffons to discuss this matter and hopefully not start a war in the process.”

“Do you wish for us to infiltrate their country and see if they plan to attack while you are away?” Artemis asked her.

“No, what we’re really worried are the Templars in our country, there are a few who use their title as Templar for their own gain, so I need you and your Team to see that they won’t harm to innocent ponies.”

“And if they do act out of line, then it is our job to exterminate any who tries to upset the peace.” Artemis said to his mom.

“Precisely, and I already have a target for you to look in to,” Luna used her horn to teleport some files and gave each to her son and to his friend.

“Your target is Iron will; he is using a fitness gym as a cover to use humans as experiments for a drug too dangerous for ponies.” Luna said.

“The report says he also lives at Manehattan. Hey, didn’t I say Orpheus was staying at Manehatten?”

“Then it is also imperative to form your team and kill Iron will.” Luna told them.

“We’ll get the job done,” Artemis stood out of chair and looked at Saint. “Get to the armory; just get the essentials for the trip. I’ll make sure I can get in touch with the police at Manehatten, so they can give us some support.”

“Be on your guard, Templars. Iron will is not be your only enemy; our intelligence also reports that a team of assassins are also in the area.”

Leaving the dinner table, Artemis walked alone down the main castle hall way to find Princes Celestia playing with her child outside at the garden. Seeing the two together made Artemis wonder why so many rumors of her being an uncaring goddess towards humans made him exit the hall and enter the garden to meet them without a second thought.

“Excuse me for interrupting you two, but can I talk to you Princess, in private.” Artemis said to her.

Sensing the troubles haunting her nephew, Celestia made Apollo go back to his room, and talked to Artemis.

“What can I do you for, Artemis? I’m sure my sister told you what you need to do, but I can give you some help if you need it.”

“No, I’m just curious as to why Apollo and I are the only Templars you seem to be most fond of? We’re humans, but you treat us differently than the other humans at the castle, so I just want to know why we have the special treatment.”

Celestia was silent, Artemis was about to ask her again when she started laughing. Wiping away a stray tear from her eye, she put her hands over her nephew’s shoulders, and gave them a squeeze of assurance.

“It’s because you and Apollo are very special. Now, I think it’s time for you to get ready for your trip.” Turning around to leave him, Artemis was made even more confused before he decided to forget her answer and went back at the task at hand.

[The next day]

For the past five hours on the train ride to Manehatten, the two Templars were sitting in silence cleaning their weapons when Saint finally broke the silence.

“So, did you get the call from the Chief of police?” He asked Artemis.

“Yeah, Mr. Clad, who is our police support gave me some info on what we’re up against.”

“What enemies will we fight?”

Taking a small folder out of his coat pocket, Artemis gave it to Saint for him to see.

“There’s a list of missing humans for the past few months, he also told me that when he finally found them they were changed into to some monstrous creatures. With no other choice, he gave the order to kill them all, I’m planning to head to the station and see the autopsy of the bodies and see if we can get any evidence that can connect it to Iron will.” Artemis informed Saint on his news.

Taking a moment to look at this new information, Saint gave the folder back to Artemis, and went back to cleaning his crossbow.

“Hopefully we can get Orpheus this information in time, we’re going to need his tracking skills to find the assassins if their trying to kill Iron will before us.” Saint said.

Just when Artemis was about to talk again, they heard a group of mares entering their train cart causing the two to quickly put their hoodies on before they entered. The first mare to be in their sights was the Princess of Harmony, Twilight sparkle, with her friends with her including four younger mares. Artemis did not want any other ponies in the train, that’s why he told the pony in charge of the train that this cart should be reserved for just them.

He didn’t want any pony to see them, not because their shouldn’t be a human in any part of the train other than the back, but if any pony ever found out that there was humans working under the princess’s as Templars will cause a major scandal that could put more stress to the public following the death of Prince Blueblood. Waiting for the last mare to leave, Artemis and Saint pulled back their hoodies and discussed what they were talking about before they were interrupted.

“Do you think Princess Celestia ordered Twilight and her friends to help?” Saint asked Artemis.

“Unlikely, she doesn’t want anyone, even her former student, to know that we exist.” Artemis said.

“Well, let’s try and make sure we have no way of interacting with them when we reach the city. And speaking about city,” Pointing his finger out the window, Artemis looked out to see the city of Manehattan just a few yards away.

Getting their belongings ready for leaving, Artemis wondered if the Former elements of harmony are here, does that mean their humans are here with them. Waving that thought away, Artemis looked back at Saint to see him fully geared and ready.

“I hope the assassins aren’t already at Manehattan, it would be great if we have the advantage of being here before them.” Saint said to Artemis.

“It could be a possibility, what are the odd that the Assassins are already here with us, right?”
