Abraham's POV

I feel like shit... That is to... Say the least. Ok, so as I was waking up I could feel the warm rays of the rising sun, as they struck my still hooded face. I could also feel the still cool wood that I slept on. Let me tell you that sleeping outside on top of a barn is an absolute shit show. I had to wake up in the middle of the fucking night to stop myself from falling, at least thirty times. I let out a soft, and deep yawn. I then sat up and stretched my arms as they cracked a sound with an audible and satisfying 'Pop'. I then stood up and looked as the iconic rooster let out it's morning screech and I walked over to the edge of the barn. I looked over to see Pear Butter looking up at the edge with a cheeky-ass grin, as she kicks a bail of hay in front of the barn door.

"Mornin' there Abe! I see you slept well!" She shouted at me with that still shit-eating grin.

"Don't fucking patronize me. Next time, I'm sleeping in the fucking house! Gah! My fuggin' back hurts." I retorted.

I then stood at the edge of the barn roof, and preformed the Leap of Faith. I then dove straight into the hay. I then popped my head out of the hay, and looked straight at Pear. I then climbed out of the hay, and brushed myself off. I then walked over to her, and ruffled up her hair. It's crazy, but even though its only been one day, Pear already feels like my little sister. The two of us then walked over into the house and I saw that Applejack was sitting at the dining table with Big Mac, Apple Bloom, and Bright Mac. I also saw that at the table was a old woman with white hair, that had some strands sticking out and she had wrinkled green fur and she was wearing a tan and brown apple pattern dress with brownish tan shoes. She also had bright green eyes, and those eyes told me that she had seen more than just memories. They told me that she had seen some shit. Some Assassin shit. I looked at the old woman and saw her give me a barely noticeable nod which I promptly returned.

"Oh why hello there youngin'!" The old woman said. "My name's Maria Smith but everypony just calls me Granny Smith. What's your name?"

"Why hello there Mrs. Smith, my name is Abraham Kenway. It is a pleasure to meet you." I told Granny while holding out my hand.

Granny shook my hand and we all started to talk a little about what's going to happen today. I figured out that I was to go and help Applejack sell some apples, and that Pear Butter would look after the kids, while Bright Mac, and Big Mac were going to work out in the orchard. Granny said that she would help Shutter out with his other injuries. I then walk over to the cart where Applejack is waiting, but before I do that I set my sniper down, to which she then noticed me and let out a small grin.

"Well its 'bout time you got here! What took you so long? And where's your, uh, rifle... thing?" She asked not knowing the term for the word Sniper.

"Well little apple, my Sniper Rifle is still with your mother, and your grand-mother. Don't worry I likely won't be needing it, but just in case I'll be taking my Khopesh, Pistol, and my Wrist Bracers." I told her.

Applejack gave me an understanding nod, and started to walk off. I then picked up the rope that was attached to the cart, and I started to walk alongside Applejack into the town of Ponyville.


As we walked down the path, I could start to see Ponyville in the distance. After a few more minutes Applejack struck up a conversation.

"So, uh... What did you an' my ma talk about last night? I heard a strange voice. And a few minutes later when I was in bed with Apple Bloom, an' my brother, it felt like watchful eyes were lookin' at us." Applejack asked breaking the awkward silence.

"Oh well me and your mother talked about me staying at your house, because last night I slept on top of the barn, and let me tell you that felt like absolute dog shit." I said as she giggled. "That strange voice was really just me imitating someone from my home. Her name was Minerva, and you could say that she was..." I paused before letting out a small smile. "Lets just call her a friend." I told the Mare walking next to me.

"Well that answers two of my questions." She told me. "What about the watchful gaze?"

"Oh, that was me." I said as I continued walking.

"Oh, ok..." Applejack said as she walked alongside me as well. "Wait, WHAT!?" She screams.

"Well, while I was falling asleep I had to check on you to make sure everything was fine so yeah, I used my Eagle Vision, aka Wall Hacks to see it you were all ok!" I explained. "Now please don't scream in my ear." I said while trying to stop the slight ringing.

"Sorry..." She says while rubbing her arm in embarrassment.

"Its fine. Well shall we get going?" I asked, as she replied with a nod.

While the rest of the trip was uneventful I did catch a glimpse of a Rainbow Blur streaking across the sky which made me grin. I also saw a brown and white dog following us but I decided not to think about it. After a few more minutes the entrance to Ponyville was in sight.


As me, and Applejack entered Ponyville I could see that... It was in a pretty terrible state. Several homes were very run down, almost to the point that they looked as if you'd just give them a tiny tap and they'd crumble. Many other houses looked as if they had been set on fire several dozen times. The residents looked like they hadn't been feed in days, or weeks! But despite that, they all had a hopeful smile lined on their faces. Seeing this gave me a great hope that Pinkie Pie was here.

Dear lord... What the hell has been going on here? Was this all caused by the Templars? These ponies need my help more than I realized. I thought as Applejack and I walked through to a good place to set up. Once we got to a good spot Applejack set up the cart I had been lugging around, and she told me that if somepony walked over, to just give them some apples. The two of us then started to hand out apples to the ponies of Ponyville, and I saw some familiar faces, such as Octavia Melody, and Vinyl Scratch. Seeing those two made me smile lightly as they walked up and offered to help pass around the apples. After a few minutes however, is when shit really hit the fan.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YA FILTHY WHORE!!" A clearly pissed voice rang out causing me to drop some apples, as the next voice I heard was one that set me over the edge.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry... I-I-I..." A tiny and soft voice filled with fear and slight sorrow barely sounded, but I still heard it. And so did Applejack.

"JUST SHUT UP!!" The angered voice screamed.

The next sound was one that got literally everypony's attention.

SNAP

The air went still as a blood boiling, and blood curdling scream of pain rung out. I took in deep breaths of the dead air as I ran through the crowd, followed by Applejack, Octavia, and Vinyl. I shoved and pushed my way through the shocked and worried onlookers, as I finally emerged and stopped dead as I saw what had happened. I looked as a Rainbow maned Mare, stood protectively in front of a Pink maned, Yellow furred Mare, while a Purely Pink Mare, tended to the Yellow Mare's clearly broken leg. I then heard Applejack, and the other two come up behind me, and look at the scene. They all let out shocked gasps as Applejack let out a pissed growl.

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy… Fluttershy is hurt... FLUTTERSHY... IS... HURT!!! My thoughts screamed as I saw three Templar ponies watching the scene. The first was about as tall as me, and he had a bloodied brass knuckle. The second and third however were laughing at the scene. I then looked as a Border Collie wiggled out of Fluttershy's grasp and the Collie nudged the unconscious Pegasus trying to get her to wake up.

"Ha! That's what you get for bumping into me!" The first Templar laughed.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR HURTING FLUTTERS YOU DIRT BAG!!" Rainbow snarled.

"How 'bout you make us Rainbow Crash!" The second one taunted, as he brought out a Dagger.

"You big meanies! You're never gonna get a party from me! EVER!!" Pinkie Pie threatened.

"Oh, shut up you little shit! NO PONY CARES ABOUT THE SHITTY PARTIES YOU THROW ANY WAY YA TWAT!" The third yelled at Pinkie causing her hair to deflate which fueled my rage even greater.

At this point I was struggling with all my will power in order not to lose myself in my hunter instincts, but I didn't have much of a choice. I saw the third Templar pull out a gun in order to shoot Pinkie. Then my vision went darker then a void, and in one great flash... My eyes turned white.


Third POV

Pinkie saw as the Templar pulled out a pistol to shoot her, and in that moment she was terrified. She was scared her life was about to be taken. The others could only watch as the Templar pulled the trigger, and with a loud 'BANG' the pistol fired. Pinkie closed her eyes tightly, and waited for the inevitable, because she knew that even her reality breaking 'Pinkie Physics' couldn't save her from a fatal gun shot. As if the world had gone in slow motion, Rainbow slowly turned her head as the bullet flew past her, and her eyes went wide with tears as she tried to save her best friend. Applejack tried to run forward to save Pinkie but tripped and fell, and she could only watch as the bullet flew ever closer to the joy brining pony. Octavia tried to run towards Pinkie but was stopped by the love of her life, Vinyl, as Vinyl cried for Pinkie. As the bullet was mere centimeters from entering Pinkie's chest a great burst of wind followed by a golden trail of spirit energy shot towards the Pink Earth Pony...…….. AND HE GRABBED THE BULLET.

"... You would dare to harm an innocent pony in my presence? You would dare to try and KILL, a pony in my presence?! You have made the worst, and last mistake of your miserable life, you dirty Templar." A darkened voice, that overlapped the voice of Abraham Kenway, growled with seething rage.

Pinkie opened her eyes slowly to see a metallic hand that was burning with golden energy, brighter than the sun, held the melted remains of the bullet that once threatened her life. Applejack was in pure shock, because only mere seconds ago the stallion Abraham stood next to her but now... He was standing in front of Pinkie Pie, and he had saved her life, but... Something was different about him. He was irradiating a golden aura that was bleeding off a blistering heat that made the sun's look like a candle. Rainbow looked on in shock that this mysterious stallion had saved Pinkie by melting the bullet. Then Abraham looked directly at the Templars, and revealed his anti-void white eyes, that peered through the soul of the Templars. The Templars all took a fearful step back and the first Templar tried to run, but Abraham saw this.

"You will not escape." He bellowed. "Lion's Pride." He called.

Then from Abraham burst 6 golden lions that looked as if they were in flames. They pounced onto the fleeing Templar, and the fire that engulfed them spread to the Templar causing him to scream in agony as the spreading flames, and the burning teeth of the King of the Desert tore into his flesh, and after a few seconds of screaming, the flames subsided, and all that was left was a burnt pile of torn flesh, as the lions disappeared, and the golden energy flowed back into Abraham.

Then the second Templar tried to attack Abraham with his dagger, but Abraham grabbed the hilt of one of the Isu Khopesh, and in one swift motion with the curved part of the blade facing inward towards Abraham, he sliced the arm of the dagger wielding Templar off, leaving only a bloody stump. As the now armless Templar screamed in horror and watched his crimson blood pour out his life essence. Abraham used the curved part of his Khopesh, and in one swift cut, the Templar stopped screaming, as his body looked unaffected. Only for his neck to gain a red line in the middle, causing to promptly fall it the ground, as the headless body fell to the ground.

"S-Stay back!" The third Templar yelled, as Abraham just drew even nearer.

The now lone Templar shot four bullets at Abraham before running out of ammo, but Abraham only used his arm and blocked the bullets. Sheathing his Khopesh, Abraham then turned his body into a golden spirit Cheetah, and ran to the Templar. Abraham then returned to his original form, and the Templar tried to punch the Assassin. Only for The Desert Hunter to catch the fist with his right hand, and with his left arm, he swung up towards the Templar's elbow, and a small golden Rhinoceros appeared for only two seconds before weaving itself into Abraham's arm, and using the extra strength Abraham broke the elbow of the Templar, and ripped his arm off, the tearing sound of flesh causing everypony to recoil in disgust of the brutal action. As the Templar's eyes flowed with pained tears, Abraham pulled out his pistol, and shot both of the Templar's knee caps. This caused the Templar to fall to the ground. As Abraham put his gun away. Abraham walked over to the Templar, and brought out both Hidden Blades, and he drove them into the neck of the Templar, killing him.


Abraham/The Desert Hunter's POV

I pulled my blades out of the neck of the Templar that tried to kill Pinkie, and I flicked my wrists causing them to go back into to their hidden mode. I then turned to the crowd that had watched and I called out with all my voice.

"HEAR ME TEMPLAR SCUM!! THIS TOWN OF PONYVILLE IS UNDER MY WATCH, AND MY PROTECTION! THOSE WHO DARE TO HARM IT'S INHABITANTS WILL FEEL MY FURY!! NO LONGER, SHALL YOU FELL HARM, NOR SHAL YOU WATCH AS YOUR LIVELY HOODS ARE DESTOYED PONIES OF THIS TOWN!! FOR I, THE DESERT HUNTER, AM HERE TO WATCH AND GAURD OVER YOU!!" I screamed, as my eyes reverted to their original color.

The crowd then started to cheer and clap, as I made my way to Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Applejack. I kneeled down next to Fluttershy, and Pinkie looked up to meet my eyes.

"T-Thank you for saving me! I'm gonna throw you the biggest 'Thanks for saving my life party'! EVER!" Pinkie yelled as she threw her arms around me, and hugged me.

"It is alright. But we should get your friend to a hospital, is there one nearby?" I asked.

Pinkie, and Rainbow nodded, as I picked up the still wounded and unconscious Flutters in my arms, being as carful as I could in order to not agitate the broken leg. After walking to the hospital, a doctor and nurse ran up to me with a gurney. I placed Fluttershy down, and they wheeled her off to the E.R. I waited with the others for a few minutes in silence, as Rainbow bombarded me with question, which I just told her to be patient. Then the doctor walked over to us.

"It would seem that miss Breeze has a broken leg. It will take at least a few weeks to heal, and she must not put any weight on it less it break again." The doctor told us.

I talked to the doctor a little more, and he said that she'll have to stay overnight. I told the others that I would stay with her and keep her safe. Applejack had to leave so she could tell her family what had happened, and Octavia and Vinyl had to leave to get home. I was then approached by Pinkie, and Rainbow.

"So... Thanks, for what you did back there." Rainbow sheepishly said. "By the way, I'm Rainbow Dash. Once again thanks for protecting Pinkie, and Fluttershy."

"It was nothing. My name's Abraham Kenway." I greeted. "I wish it was under better circumstances that we met, but the Templar threat here is much higher than I originally thought."

"Yeah those meanies have been wreaking havoc in Ponyville and they're all coming from the biggest meanie of them all! Novelty Quill." Pinkie said with her mane now inflated.

"Yes, and now that this has happened, Novelty Quill will meet my blade." I vowed. "She will die."

"Yeah but was killing those guys really necessary?" Rainbow asked.

"If I didn't kill them, then they would've just came back, and likely would've told Novelty. Which would cause her to hurt Scootaloo." I told them, while mumbling the last bit.

"I understand. Damn that Novelty Quill! She took Scootaloo, and that just pisses me off!" Rainbow growled while gritting her teeth.

"I know. That's why I'll kill Novelty or Isu Eden, as she's called now, and I will get Scootaloo back." I told them.

"Well I've got to go, so see ya Abraham!" Rainbow said while leaving the Hospital.

"Yeah I've got to go too. See ya Abey!" Pinkie waved bye, before walking out with Rainbow.

I looked back at the sleeping Fluttershy, and I grabbed her hand. I watched over her sleeping figure, and I saw that she was sleeping soundly. I looked out the window and spoke.

"May the watchful eyes of the Isu protect you Fluttershy. Minerva, please keep this town safe. Connor, please use your watchful eyes, and look after this place. Haytham, please keep the Templars at bay. Edward, please protect us all." I spoke.

As I watched the moon rise, I felt drowsy from using my spirit beasts. I then felt my eye lids get heavier, before they shut completely, and my body soon fell victim to the restful sleep it so desperately needed.


Third POV

At town hall, a loud crash was heard, as Novelty Quill, or Isu Eden threw a chair into the wall.

"What do you mean the men I sent to Sweet Apple Acres haven't returned!?" Eden screamed.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I mean just that! And we have reports that earlier today, three of our men were brutally murdered by somepony wearing the Assassins emblem." A Templar reported.

"Damn it!" Isu cried out in anger. "Why is this all falling apart!?"

"It's because you suck!" The caged Scootaloo retorted as she blew a raspberry at the angered Isu Eden.

"Oh shut up you!" Isu roared as she kicked the caged filly.

Scootaloo cried in pain as tears rolled down her cheeks. Isu had then left to go to her home. The Templar solider was the only pony left in the room. He walked over to the crying Scootaloo, and unlocked the cage door. He walked in and then hugged her tight, as the filly hugged back.

"I'm sorry young Scootaloo. I will get you out of here, but I cannot blow my cover. Maybe this new Assassin will help me get you out of here." The Templar? reassured the crying filly.

"It's Ok Ade, I believe you. Just please hurry, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold on." Scootaloo told Ade.

Ade nodded before heading out of the town hall. He then ran into an alley, and changed, he let his dreadlocks, which he had grown over the several years he had been here since he arrived, hang out, as the night sky shone on his dark skin. He got out of the Templar disguise, and pulled out a uniform, a Mayan Machete, and a Blunderbuss. He then put the outfit on and he looked like this. He then sheathed his Machete, and put away his gun, before pulling out a single wrist bracer, that had the symbol of the Assassin on it. He equipped the Hidden Blade, and dawned his hood over his face. As the moonlight hit his skin, it shined on the several scars that were left on his body, and face as these were the marks of his past. He then jumped up onto the house that stood next to him, and he activated his Eagle Vision. He peered through the homes of the ponies, and landed on the window of the Hospital room that held the sleeping Fluttershy, and the sleeping Abraham.

Well, Kenway... Lets see if you're anything like Edward, eh? Ade thought as he watched the descendant of the pirate he once called Captain slept. Ade smiled as the dimly light figure of Minerva appeared behind him.

"Watching over him I see?" Minerva spoke.

"I kind of have to. I don't know what will happen, but even though I cannot repay you for saving me from my death by the hands of Shay Cormack, I would still like to say. Thank you." Ade told Minerva without looking at her.

"Do not thank me. Just protect Abraham. Until next time..." Minerva said as her figure started to vanish, as a smile grew on her face. "... Adewale, Incarnation of the Assassin's Creed." She said as she vanished.

Adewale let out a sigh before looking at the stars and remembering the days he sailed the Caribbean with Edward Kenway as his Quarter Master, before speaking once more. "You know I don't like that title." He spoke as the screen faded into black.
