Assassin Nitro

2 hours and 37 minutes to go until they come. I sigh and continue with the project. Over the past 5 days, I've learned what the ponies and Discord may like in the form of weapons. I'm starting off small with melees, and then I'm giving them guns. As I'm on the sander for clean-up on the weapons, I take a quick gander over to the armor and robes for the other Assassins. Luna has a calm midnight blue cloak over plate-steel armor. Not much armor, but, on an alicorn, more than enough. There were marking where the wings are to be able to do a "Hide your wings so that instead of looking like an Alicorn, you'd look like a fucking tall Unicorn" thing. Social stealth. She wouldn't have to be Princess Luna when under the hood.. Pinkie has some heavier armor. She has a cotton candy blue robe with Pinkie-colored pink stripes all over. She has heavy combat armor made of some serious steel-titanium combo. I need to make sure that her hair fits under that hood, however... I made 2 for Discord. If he wishes to go in a pony form, a brown hooded robe. No design, and similar plate armor to Luna's. His normal form is of the same color, but suited for his dimensions. No armor in that form, for he is his own armor in his normal form, after all.

The blade in my hand was Luna's. I was now focusing on removing the weld marks so it looks like a unified piece. Her sword was Damascus steel. I painted it so that it looks like it was forged to be the same midnight blue of Luna's cloak, but you can still see the details of the steel used. The blade was 22 inches long, the pommel was a starry yellow crescent moon with a small aquamarine gemstone in the shape of a horn. The aquamarine horn was perpendicular to the center of the crescent moon, and was in line with the handle. The handle was leather-wrapped, and was stained black. White-colored translucent stars were all over. The guard was in the shape of Alicorn wings. It was fancy. I think she still has the sword in her room. After so many years.

Pinkie has two blades. One sword is Rose Quartz's Straight Rapier from Steven Universe, but a bit thinner. (Watch the video where MAA Reforged made it here) Her other sword was a one-handed short sword. It had one beveled section, and had the appearance of a kitchen knife, but it was 16 inches long and 4 inches wide.

Discord. Now he was a challenge. I wanted something to represent him, which is chaotic, yet is something not chaotic. I decided to make the Gravity Hammer from HALO. Specifically HALO 3.

I dipped the Princess' sword into some coolant to clean it off, and set it down. I moved everything into position, and changed the lighting so it will focus on me until I press a button. When I do, lights will shine on the armor and melee weapons. I still need to think of guns for them. I grabbed my standard dark robe and grabbed my Kremvh's Tooth, then sat down in a chair in the center of the room. I went to sleep. I deserved it.

2 hours later...

I woke up to my wristwatch alarm. '7:55 P.M... Okay. Time to be prepared.' I stood up, threw the chair over to a corner, and stood there. 5 minutes later, right on 8 on the dot, Selene, Pie, and the Draconequus walked in. Well, Discord was floating and Pinkie was bouncing with her iconic Bwoing! of her jumps, but whatever. "Hello. Before we begin, I must obtain a vow of Allegiance to the Creed. Don't worry, it's just procedure. Now," I get into a serious tone, "will you vow to protect the innocent, from all harm of the Templars, and help pave the way to a New Dawn?"

"I vow to protect the innocent, from all harm of the Templars, and help pave the way to a New Dawn," They all responded in unison.

"Will you vow to keep quiet of our practices, when either tortured or questioned, and keep our secrets to the grave?"

"I vow to keep quiet of our practices, when either tortured or questioned, and to keep our secrets to the grave."

"And will you vow to never do anything rash, take drastic action, or take justice into your own hands, and to make sure that you put the lives of your teammates and others over your own?

"I vow to never do anything rash, take drastic action, or take justice into my own hooves, (Discord said "claws" in place of "hooves") and to put the lives of teammates and others over my own."

They did it. They did the vow. Now to finish it. "Now, remember these wise words spoken by one of the mentors of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, one of the greatest assassins ever: When other men blindly follow the "Truth", remember: Nothing is True. When other men are limited, by morality or law, remember: Everything is Permitted. We work in the Dark to serve the Light. We are Assassins. Now, when you believe that the Order's practices are not for good intention, remember the Creed. Repeat this: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted."

They all repeated "Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted." I'll need to show them the limitations later.

"You have recited the Creed of the Assassins, and for that, you welcome the ideology of us into your hearts. Welcome to the Order, my brother and sisters." I smile warmly. "I have prepared your cloaks and weapons. I'm certain yo-"

"Wait... Weapons? Do you mean we actually have to kill?!" Pinkie was kinda sharp, yet kinda dull. I'll try to refine that.

"Yes. Here." I clicked the button, and the lights shone over their stuff. All their stuff was on three separate tables. On Luna's, her gear was surrounded by pieces of moon rocks, and her stuff was glimmering in the light, like it was a star. Pinkie's had confetti over her table, and was gleaming with a pink hue. Discord had a chaotic scene. I can't even remember it. Just know it was insane. When the whistling and the "Wow!"ing was done, I gave them their stuff. "But you can also go non-lethal." Pinkie smiles a little at that. "Armor is inside the cloaks, and there's some extra stuff. Carved knives, smoke bombs, a lot of pockets to put your gaming shit in there, other... stuff..." I was distracted because there was a green glow out of one of my pockets. I pulled it out to note I got Streetpass on my Red Classic 3DS from 2012. It's been 4 years since I got it with Super Mario 3D Land. Man, was that a fun time. "...Who has a 3DS?"

Luna sheepishly rose her armored hoof. Her hooves were covered in armor. I made it that way. The armor hit from the tip of her hooves to her shoulders. There were bendable sections here and there for flexibility. "Yes. I... I like the system, honestly. Neightendo really makes good systems." Oh god, the look on her face was so adorable I just wanted to snuggle her forever. Did I ever mention that the ponies were so fucking soft to the touch? Because they are. I also facepalmed (facehoofed?) internally for the obvious "Nintendo/Neightendo" pun.

After they armored up, they picked up their weapons. Luna slashed hers around before nodding in appreciation of the craftsmanship. I smiled, then looked over to Pinkie. She held them like she was born for this job, even though she's an earth pony. A whirlwind of knife-spinning later, she beamed of approval. I then looked to Discord.

"Why must I use a hammer and not a sword?" Discord questioned.

I replied "Why wouldn't I? It made too much sense to make blades for all of you."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I guess using my logic against me is smart. Good job kid." That was as much as I'd get outta him, so I smiled.

"You said you were doing school, correct?" I nodded to Luna's question. "Then since when have you have the time for forging armour and swords and the Gravity Hammer for Discord?"

I quickly wondered why she knew of the Gravity Hammer, but I stopped questioning. "Oh, the schoolwork was easy. I solved it quick so I had time to worry about the swords, Hammer, and armor. Now, do you all know how to properly wield these weapons?" The looks on their faces showed me that no, no they don't. "Alright, time for training, I guess. I gotta teach you all what I know, after all!"

Written Journal #4
I have done it. I have show them the Assassin ways. Some training. Basic stuff like how to wield weapons via hooves properly and how to disappear without a trace. I'll attempt to unlock their Eagle Vision, if any of them have it. Luna might.
Now, for the big thing: I found the way to balance School and Work properly. Pretend the Assassins don't exist until Friday.
I must work on gaining my fellow Assassins' trust over the next few weeks. Give them "The Ezio Speech".
Buenas Noches,
Nitro.

Princess Luna Selene

After the somewhat sore runthrough of some basic tactics, we retired. I teleported to my room, and removed my gear. I hid them inside of my giant closet. The sword sheathed into its beautifully decorated sheath. It was white with golden stars. It reminds me of my sister. Inside my sister-colored sheath is the me-colored sword. I must admit, however Nitro got his skills of weapons making, he was a damn good swordspony. Soon, I may ask him to give some lessons to my Night Guards.

Now, I'm in the Dreamscape, looking over ponies dreams. 'Tia is still pretty angry at Nitro, as evident of her dream of torturing the poor kid (she made up how he looked, and it looks like a simple red pony with a yellow mane) and I can't blame her. If I was punched in the face to the point of bleeding, I'd be pissed for days. I then see Nitro's dream, which was grinding across Canterlot's rooftops with a hook protruding from his armoured right hoof. I must ask him about that hook. After watching some parkour, I moved on. But what he said earlier kept running through my head like Nitro did in his dream. "When other men are limited, by morality or law..." That line haunts me. What are these "men", these "people" he keeps referring to? Why must we be not bound by morality or law? What does he mean by "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted"? From the looks of their dreams, Discord and Pinkie are thinking the same things. We must ask him soon. But for now, I must focus on keeping ponies' dreams safe...

Author's Note

I'm gonna be making these chapters in quick succession.

"looks like a simple red pony with a yellow mane". You know, like Pony.Town's basic character.

I went and looked at the Indoctrination of Ezio from AC2 for the speech of Nothing is true, Everything is permitted. Next time, I'll explain that in the details from AC: Revelations.
