The Assassin's Creed

"Doesn't feel great to be assassinated does it Ray?" Leberecht Mane asked me after he jumped on me during my fight. "Curse you..." I muttered under my breath, though I was sure Leberecht could hear me.

"Now your time has come Assassin." Leberecht said as he almost plunged his hidden blade into my throat. At the last second I kneed him in the stomach. He cringed and at the moment I kicked him off me. The Assassins around me went into a defensive position and I rolled back to get my sword which fell behind me when I was assaulted.

At the very moment I got the sword I sweep-kicked an Assassin's legs and stabbed the side of their neck. I parried a strike from an incoming Assassin and kicked him in the jaw. I spun around at a great speed and did a more powerful kick to the temple, knocking him out. As he fell, I took a throwing knife and executed the nearest Assassin.

As an Assassin tried to sweep my hooves off the ground I jumped and my backside facing the ground, used my both my back hooves to kick their stomach. I went past her and did a full spin, kicking the back of their head, knocking them out.

A Brute swung their axe at me but I rolled backwards, their axe flying past my head as I came to my feet, using the hilt of my sword to slam into their helmet, causing them to stumble a bit as I jumped into the air and brought down my sword into their neck.

I rolled backwards but I stopped half-way, on my back as I bucked an Assassin in the jaw, the buck knocking them out cold. I jumped back onto my feet, sheathing my sword for what I was about to do. Leberecht raised his eyebrows, clearly impressed. Was this some sort of game to him? Only fools take a life-threatening situation as a joke.

Using my Eagle Vision, I marked my targets and threw smoke bombs into the crowd as I shot two hidden blades into my marked targets. After tinkering around with the hidden blades I managed to unlock a faster reloading time. I ran over to the group and kicked one stallion in the face as I stabbed another in the neck with my hidden blades.

I finished off the stallion with a quick stab in the neck and he fell to the ground. I ran to a pair of Assassins and slid under their heads, slicing both of their throats. My slide reached another pair and I got up, spinning in a full circle and slicing their throats.

The last pair was recovering from the smoke bomb as I struck one of them in the neck with my hidden blades and unleashed a flurry of hidden blades into the other Assassin's chest.

I drew my sword just in time to counter Leberecht's sword behind me. I whipped around elbowing his temple in the process. He stumbled a bit and I sweep kicked him. Attempts to kill an Assassin using a hidden blades usually don't work so I was not surprised when Leberecht managed to roll away just in time to not have his throat impaled with a hidden blade.

He clearly saw how merciless I was going to be so he backed up a bit in fright. "L-listen here Ray, we can talk about this right?" he said as I lunged at him with my sword. "Come on Ray, you can join us... we don't have to fight. We can work together with the Templars! With you and I combined there is nothing we can't do. We will be able to take over Equestria!" he said as he blocked my strike. "So that's where your loyalties lie is it? To nopony? Just to yourself huh?" I said as I tripped him.

"My loyalty lies with my friends, family and the Creed. I don't betray them for power. I don't work with anypony with the likes of you!" I yelled as I parried his block, kneeing him in the jaw and doing a full spin combined with a hidden blade. My hidden blade sliced through his throat easily. He let out a gurgling sound as he fell.

Remember Ray... you must always give respect to the enemy... I remembered my father said to me. He was an Assassin and that may have been the reason to our whole family's deaths. But I cannot stay mad at him when the grief of his death comes to me ever so often.

I closed my eyes as the painful memory came to me but as pony form as I remembered smoke coming everywhere and two ponies dropping onto my parents, killing them both. I backed up into what seemed to be the leader of the group. He just shoved me away as he and his group ran from the scene. I went over to my parents, trying to stop the bleeding from their throats but the last thing my parents said to me? They loved me... I've tried to find the person or now, the pony who killed my parents.

After this short memory I opened my eyes and the last thing Leberecht must have heard was "Requiescat in pace." I got up and jumped down to my friends, who were just finishing their battles.

"Leberecht?" Marnix asked me. "He's dead." I replied. There wasn't much to talk about this. We were finished here, but I wondered if there were anypony out there who was like Leberecht but will rise to so much power that even we could not stop him.
