The Assassin's Creed

"Alright, we leave now to Las Pegasus, hope you all had a nice relaxation time. Time to get back to business." Marnix said, getting up from the ledge of a tower we were perched on. Marnix jumped down from the tower, hitting a haystack. When he got out, Xerxes went, then Kyros. When Kyros got out of the haystack, I jumped and slowly flipped my body to my backside. I felt the wind rushing through my mane and body as I hit the haystack.

It was indeed nighttime though, which means we got to move. Marnix already discussed the plan with us, we hit the train to Las Pegasus, and then we cleanse the place too. Seems like what we've been doing for some time.

We reached the train and Marnix said, "Alright we'll have to do night watches, we need some sleep on the train. We'll hit Las Pegasus in about a day, this train is really fast. Ray, you take first watch, Kyros you take second, I'll take third watch and Xerxes, you'll take fourth watch."

As we entered a near empty car with beds I watched the corners for any enemies just wanting their throats ripped out. I nodded and the group entered. Quickly everypony fell asleep as I sat up, constantly watching towards the corners of the cars and the entrances of the cars. I already pulled down the shades on the windows to prevent shooters.

After about an hour, Kyros tapped me on the shoulder, signaling that he'll take over. I nodded in gratitude as I got into a bed and closed my eyes. The quick feeling of fatigue washed over me as I felt myself drifting away.

I awoke to Kyros tapping my shoulder telling me to wake up. I bolted up in the bed, rolling my head around and relieving the soreness. I heard footsteps and by instinct I drew my hidden blades.

The sound of other hidden blades were heard as my friends also drew their hidden blades. We waited for the guards to arrive but we immediately retracted our hidden blades when we saw that these were not guards but just passengers. I quickly got off the car and signaled my friends to do so too.

We reached a place which seemed very heavily guarded with Brutes and Specialists. What could they be hiding in there? Who is this new party that's come into play? There were unknown threats here but I wasn't sure what they could truly do.

But their weapons were certainly dangerous, I saw a long rifle along with pistols hanging from their pockets. With further investigation using Eagle Vision, I could see smoke bombs and flash grenades.

"Shall we call them Grenadiers?" I asked, they obviously have many bombs and grenades. I'm pretty sure their tactic is to throw a bomb and then shoot their targets. This proved them to be extremely dangerous.

My friends knew what I was talking about and nodded. Grenadiers it is then.

"We need to get into the casino, then we need to hit Las Pegasus' town hall. Both have an ample amount of Templars and Assassins." I said, pointing to a window. "We can get through there, but I don't know if we can take on about six guards at once. We need this to be a quiet mission, not a go-everywhere-and-kill-everypony mission."

Marnix smiled a bit for being the descendent of Aveline, he could dispatch enemies quickly, but I didn't know how far this special skill went but I found out today. Marnix jumped through the window and using my Eagle Vision I saw that within a matter of seconds, somehow they were all dead.

Marnix popped out of the window and waved us over. We made our way on a sturdy tree branch and jumped into the window. "Nice work." I said to Marnix. He replied with a nod.

I used my sword to finish off a guard who was on the ground, unconscious. We made our way into the casino and we stayed in the shadows of the vent. We decided to scout for any major activities. But we found one interesting conversation.

"We'll get the Assassins when they don't know it. Their way of life will crumble and I will be the one to deliver the killing blow." I heard the pony in a dark black coat say. I nodded to my friends frantically as they smashed the vent and we jumped though, about to assassinate him.

He quickly drew his hidden blades, looked up and blocked our hidden blades. After this, he drew his dual swords and slash at us with incredible speed. We didn't even get a moment to draw our swords. We resorted to using hidden blades to deflect the blades. I felt two small cuts on my hooves for this act.

When he drew his gun, he aimed at me, and fired. I was hit in the left torso somehow by the shot. I yelled in pain as this shot went throughout my body as Kyros pulled me to the nearest cover which was a slot machine.

I started bleeding out as Kyros put his hoof to the wound, attempting to stop the bleeding. He took some wires from the machine and wrapped it around my body, in an attempt to once again stop the bleeding. I saw black marks around my vision as I struggled to survive.
