The Assassin's Creed

I walked outside to see the great blue sky and clouds. I let in a big breath of fresh air. This time may be the only time I can take a breather. There's no time to waste, I have to go, now. I walked out the prison area and found a grand place filled with ponies with excuisite tastes for clothing and fashion. I don't know anypony here though, I'd have to search for a way back to Ponyville.

I quickly ascended onto rooftops, as it was a better place to be than the ground below. Finding some large towers could prove handy right now as I'm running in blind here.

After an hour of running around, I found some place called the Grand Galloping Gala? Not sure what that is but since I heard it is hosted by the Princesses themselves, I'll bet Princess Celestia and her 'student' will be there.

I slept till the day became the night and dropped in the Grand Galloping Gala, I don't really do tickets. They just aren't my thing, but I did realize in the Gala that all my friends seemed to be there.

I grinned, knowing that I could keep watch over all of them. The initial plan was to just find Twilight and asked her of everypony's location but this... this will work nicely. I made my way towards them and when I came in their line of sight, I waved towards them and disappeared in the crowd.

My primary objective is to focus on keeping my friends safe from assassins while also keeping the Creed from sending more Assassins, I need to protect my friends and shut down this brotherhood before it gets out of hand.

I was hoping for some actual peace until all of a sudden I saw a pony dashing towards Princess Celestia or Luna, their movement, there was too much urgency in their movement. It seemed extremely unlikely to be moving this fast for an average pony, only Assassins like I can move at such a speed.

Making my way through the crowd I managed to get near Princess Celestia and waited for the Assassin to make their move. The Assassin jumped and drew their hidden blades as I rolled into the way of their blade and deflected the attack using my own hidden blades. I yelled for everypony to run and in an instant the room cleared out. Royal Guards escorted the Princesses out of the room and some attempted to fight these Assassins.

Taking one look at their face and weapons, I determined that this was a stallion and they were a Specialist. Specialists were special Assassins that had extremely dangerous weapons and were trained to use them just as well as I could use my own weapons. When he struck I used my hidden blades and forced his arm to the ground.

I unsheathed my sword and took the Specialist's sword from it's sheathe. I now wielded two swords and I thought I had the upper advantage until I saw that they brought reinforcements. These Assassins were all Specialists, this was suicide but I knew I could not run. If I ran, they'd kill the Princesses, my friends, innocents and they'll take my life if I ran too. I could see the Royal Guards dying one by one by the hooves of the Specialists.

A Specialist thrust their sword at me and when I deflected their blade, and in an instant their hidden blade came towards my throat as I ducked under the blade and took their with a sword into their chest. One Specialist repeatedly slashed their sword at me as another jumped over their Specialist ally and drew a gun. I deflected yet another series of slashes from the Specialists as I ran towards them and slid under the Specialist, using my sword and slashing their stomach open.

I crippled the Specialist bleeding-out and used their body as a meat shield, I heard a bang as well as a gasp of surprise. I rolled towards the shooter and swept their legs and they crumbled to the ground. I quickly used one sword and skewered their neck.

I whipped around just in time to see another shooter, with his gun to my face at point-blank range as I cut their arm off, blood everywhere. Even I cringed a bit with this sight. I ended his misery with a quick slash to the throat.

Using my hind hoof as a arm, I kicked the fallen shooter's gun and swapped the gun with my sword as I thrust my sword into another chest and shot the other Specialist. Throwing the gun down, I picked up my sword yet again.

The last Specialist lunged at me with their own duel swords as I rolled out of their way and threw one of my swords at them. It barely missed their throat but still missed. The Specialist turned towards me with their duel swords at the ready. I ran towards them and I felt a great pain in my leg, the wound opened in the prison but I didn't think it would be too bad to have left it untreated.

I now regret that decision. Instead I held my ground hoping for the Specialist to strike. I thought they were going to lunge at me but instead they threw their rope dart at me, trying to hit my chest or throat. The rope dart whipped past me as I took the rope part and pulled it towards me.

The Specialist stumbled towards me and I quickly ended their life with a hidden blade to the throat. I thought I had ended their life but when I turned my back, their last moments of their life was used arming an explosive. I heard a small hissing and I turned around to find myself get flung back.

I quickly got up and ran, ignoring the excruciating pain emitting from my leg. I kept running for that grenade knocked down on of the pillars and the place was coming down. It was when I reached the a hallway I was blown back by another explosion. I felt my body go limp and I summoned all my strength to get back up and keep running.

I started running down a hall and when I reached a bridge across a moat, I was blown off my feet once again by another explosion. I only assumed that the place was rigged with bombs. I seemed to be really close to the bomb as I was blown far away and into a river. I let the river take me away as I faded away from consciousness.
