Chapter 20: We Are To Be Killed

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I took off my outfit and put it in the water which was filled with soap. I scrubbed the outfit till it was blood-free. Now to let it dry. I thought as I hung up my outfit in the clothes hanger.

As I was doing this, I heard bushes rustle, normally I would think that it was just the wind but the bush rustled too fast. I used my Eagle Vision to detect ponies inside the bushes. There wasn't anything but I know ponies can be undetected from Eagle Vision.

I couldn't fight without weapons and my weapons are not on me right now. I don't have any weapons at all. I knew that there was somepony in the bushes and they messed up, I knew they were there.

But what I didn't know was that there was a pair of ponies behind me until they struck. I whipped back so that I saw them as the pony I heard before emerged from the bushes and attacked. They all wielded swords and I could not fight them all. My only chance was to disarm them, they blocked the only exit. I had no tools either. No way to climb.

One of the ponies struck and I slammed my right hind hoof into their front hoof, making them cringe as I kicked them in the jaw. I rolled out of the way of an incoming strike behind me and they struck the pony I kicked in the jaw, slicing though throat by accident. Accident or not, it gives me a sword.

The sword was apparently stuck in the throat and the user could not pull it out. I rolled under the sword and took their fallen teammate's sword. I plunged it into their chest and they released the still stuck sword.

I stood in a defensive position for the last pony, waiting for them to strike. But instead he whistled for some reason. In an instant smoke came everywhere as I took my outfit and bailed. I knew instantly that I was going to be air assassinated so I had to run. I smashed through the pony who whistled, who fell to the ground, somehow breathless.

I was ambushed, meet up at the Pegasus Central Station. I thought to my friends, transmitting this thought into voice which will be heard by all of them. I stepped on a crate and vaulted over a fence, leading to an alleyway. It wasn't the best place to be but I needed to get out. While I was running, my outfit dried off, so I guess that's something.

Who were those ponies back there? They did know how to mask their presence from me though. Does this have anything to do with Leberecht Mane? Guess we'll find out.

I put my outfit back on so that my identity may be masked and went back to find my weapons. Using my Eagle Vision, I canceled out everything except weapons. There they are, just where I left them, the blacksmith.

"Excuse me sir, I'll need my weapons back. Code 11362." I said as the blacksmith checked his book for codes. I thanked him as I received my weapons. He tried to give me back the half the money I gave him, for he was halfway done restocking my items. I waved this off and left.

I opened a window and jumped out, closing it behind me. I climbed up to the rooftops, jumping from roof to roof, slowly reaching the Pegasus Central Station. When I reached my destination, I did not hesitate and immediately jumped down into a haystack.

Using my Eagle Vision, I made my allies marked gold, so I immediately knew who were my allies. I adjusted my Eagle Vision to make hiding spots green, enemies red, and targets blue.

When I disabled my Eagle Vision, I met my friends but they seemed to have masks on. "Ray, put this on quickly!" Marnix hissed to me, throwing me a mask, which the type was called 'The Volto'. I quickly put it on my face as some guards passed me and my friends sighed in relief.

So what's happened? Are the guards on full alert or something? I thought to my friends, and Xerxes replied, "These aren't guards, they are Assassins. I suspect that they are with Leberecht Mane. We may be their targets."

"If they are with Leberecht Mane, we can take him out now! This is a big crowd, probably big enough to hide our presence here. We have masks so they won't know who it was that killed Leberecht Mane. I thought to my friends.

Using my Eagle Vision, I checked the area, but I saw Assassins getting ready to drop down on us. "Assassins!" I yelled as I fired one shot with my pistol into the air. Using the gun, it creates chaos and makes it easier for us to escape.

An Assassin pounced on me and attempted to assassinate me if I hadn't shot them in the head. I kicked his body off mine and took out my other pistol and started firing into the air, making two assassins fall to the ground, lifeless.

We were outnumbered with true professionals. As an Assassin dropped behind me I swerved around, using the spin to slash at his throat. Unfortunately this was predicted and the Assassin brought my blade to the ground. He kneed me in the jaw afterwards I shot a hidden blade at him in my stumble back. He dodged the shot and fired at me using his gun.

I rolled out of the way of the shot, the shot hitting one of his fellow Assassins. I drew my sword, not believing how much trouble this one Assassin is. I used my Eagle Vision to find a weak spot in him but none were found. He was wearing armor too. Not good.

They seem to know every move I do but there is one I never tried before. Therefore has not been practiced but nothing works right now. I rolled towards him and at the near finish of my roll I sweep kicked the Assassin's legs. As he fell to the ground I was about to bring the sword down if another Assassin had not kicked me in the back, making me fall to the ground.

Come on! Two against one? As one Assassin struck I rolled under the blade so that he was at my side as I plunged my sword into his neck, my arm going under his arm. When my sword went in, I pushed him up and over onto the ground.

I deflected the blow that came from the other Assassin as I kept my guard up, preventing any other strikes. We were not the predators this time, we were going to be the prey.

When the Assassin struck yet again, I deflected the strike and jumped to his side, kicking his waist area. He stumbled a bit but that was all I need. I executed a perfect kick to the jaw and a sword down into his neck.

Smoke filled around me as I used my Eagle Vision to find my targets. I couldn't take much more of this, I was already very tired and this may be the end of me. No. I've worked hard to keep myself alive, if I die, I will die fighting for everything I cared for. I will fight for everypony, for my friends, for the Creed.
