The lost blades of Equestriaby Reaper99ChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 1Me and my friends Andrew and Charm (who is a girl) were at Comic Con dressed as our OCs from assassin's creed. I was dressed up as an assassin from AC:unity armed with a Spear and two flintlock pistols. Andrew was dressed up as an assassin-turned-templar from AC:rogue with a musket with bayonet and a saber. Charm was dressed as a female assassin from AC:Odessey with a kopis and a bow. I wasn't allowed to bring my hidden blades in, because they were real recreations, so I left them in the car. I scanned every stall for a set that didn't look too real but real enough. My eyes stopped at a particular set made of plastic with gold engravings on them, I then called Andrew and Charm over to show them the set. "How much are these?" I asked the vendor, who was dressed as the merchant from the resident evil series. "Only twentyfive bucks." He said in a thick accent that sounded russian. "Dude, don't buy it! It's a-oohhh is that a templar cross?" Asked Andrew when he saw a ornate templar cross on the table. "Yes it is, and you can have it for twenty bucks if he buys the blade set." Answered the vendor. "You two are so stupid! Its obvious he's trying to scam you two!" Shouted charm before grabbing a replica of the broken spear of leonidas and asking "How much is this?" Me and Andrew just faceplamed. "Fifteen dollars if the other two buy the cross and the blades." We all thought over it before saying in unison: "We'll take it!" We paid for it and were about to walk away when the vendor whispered something to us. I was about to ask him what he said when we all blacked out. Meanwhile in ponyville... Twilight sparkle was studying all she could about the current planetary alignment when a loud explosion was heard coming from the everfree. She ran outside just in time to see another two objects crash into the everfree. She ran back inside and quickly wrote a letter and called spike saying "Spike, please send this to the princesses quickly." Before she went to call her friends. I woke up to the sound of rustling of a bush nearby, I sat up and was freaked out by the fact that I was my OC with all his weapons and equipment. I saw the bushes in front of me shake so I pulled out a flintlock and pointed it at whatever was in front of me. I then heard a voice which I recognized as Andrew shout: "Hey, don't shoot me!" "Andrew?! Is that you?" I asked. He stepped out as his assassin-turned-templar OC with his saber in his hand. "Yeah, its me." He said as he sheathed his saber. "Have you seen charm, I can't find her anywhere in this darn forest!" "No, in fact I just woke up." I said as I rubbed my head. "Anyway, let's go I don't think we should stick around to see whatever this forest has to offer." He said while helping me up. "Yes, we should go." I said as I looked around for any sign of life. Later... We have been travelling for about a couple of hours when we heard a cry coming from behind us saying: "Somepony help us!" "What the heck does that person mean by 'Somepony'?" Asked Andrew. I just shrugged before saying: "Anyway, shouldn't we help whoever is shouting?" Andrew nodded before we drew our weapons and ran towards the source of the cry. At the same time... Twilight put as much magic as she could into her shield, because on the other side of the shield was a pack of timberwolves. Rarity cried for help before fainting and the rest of the mane 6 was either too frightened or too injured to do anything. Just as it looked like the end, two creatures appeared from the trees and attacked the timberwolves. Both of the creatures carried strange weapons. One pointed a long spear at a timberwolf before a loud bang and cloud of smoke was emitted from near the spear point. The timberwolf then exploded into a shower of sap and splinters, the act scared the other timberwolves away, and twilight was able drop her shield. "Huh, nobody's here. Just another bunch of mythical creatures and some ponies." Said one creature as the other creature looked around. "Uhhhhh, hi?" Said twilight, Her words surprised the two creatures and one pointed its weapon at the surrounding trees. "Where are you?!" I shouted to where I thought I heard the voice come from. "Show yourself!" "Uhhh, down here." Said the voice, I looked down and saw a small purple unicorn looking at me. "Are you the one speaking?" I asked, I felt so stupid talking to a mythical creature thats supposed to only exist in fairytales. But the response almost made me lose it. "Yes I am, what are you?" Asked the unicorn, I just pointed my pistol at it and said: "What? You never seen a human before?" I asked before Andrew stepped in and put his hand on my pistol and said: "Come on, lets go." I put my pistol away and we headed back into the forest. Twilight was in shock. Humans?! In Equestria?! She was thinking over what the two 'humans' did when she remembered her friends. She quickly got them together and teleported them to ponyville hospital. Me and Andrew walked for a couple more hours when we decided to set up camp for the day. I thanked my lucky stars that my dad sent me to survival camp and blacksmithing classes. I started a fire and found what appeared to be safe-to-eat berries, when I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye. I drew my pistol and called Andrew over saying: "Andrew! You better come here." When he arrived he asked me: "What is it?" I pointed over to where I saw the movement, he understood me and drew his saber. "Hey, It's just me you two idiots!" Said a voice we both recognized as Charm. "Charm?! You gave me a scare!" I yelled. She came out of the bushes as her Assassin OC with the broken spear of Leonidas in her hand. "Well, now that we're all together lets find a way back home." Said Andrew "Tomorrow, of course." He said before we ate and went to sleep In the morning... We packed up camp and set off to find a way home. We were following a river when we came across a town, we agreed I would scout out the town if it would be safe or not to enter. As I climbed onto the roof of a building I saw the townsfolk were similar to the mythical creatures and ponies me and Andrew saved the previous day. I was on my way back when I heard the sound of Andrew's musket firing, I arrived in time to see them take down the hydra that attacked them. "Well, it seems I missed out on all the fun..." I said when they finished the hydra off, blood spilling onto the ground. "You call that fun? I call it terrifying! Have you seen this thing?! Its the size of a two story house!" Shouted Charm who apparently hasn't seen combat before this. "I just realized, When did we learn how to fight so well?" I asked, both Andrew and Charm just shrugged. "It must have happened when we arrived here." Said charm after thinking about it. I then told them what I saw and Charm was shocked to hear that there are civilized ponies living in this world. "We shall use stealth to enter, find and obtain supplies, and leave." I said after my recon debriefing, both of them nodded and we began our stealth incursion We entered the town without being spotted by anyone and began to travel from rooftop to rooftop searching for anything useful when a bright flash blinded us. A pony that was almost as tall as us emerged from the light and I quickly noticed it was a pegasus/unicorn hybrid with white fur. "Surrender humans!" It shouted. We just drew our ranged weapons and I answered: "You have no authority over us!" Before we all shot at the hybrid, the hybrid put up some sort of magic barrier that blocked our ranged attacks so instead of reloading, we charged it with our melee weapons. "For the creed!" I yelled as we neared the hybrid, we were about get within striking distance when some unseen force knocked me, Andrew, and Charm away from the hybrid. A bright flash then appeared between us and the hybrid. "STOP!" Shouted a voice that I recognized as the unicorn from yesterday, It emerged from the flash facing away from us and towards the hybrid. "Please princess, two of those humans are the ones saved me and friends from the timberwolves yesterday." It pleaded to the hybrid. "You must understand Twilight, these humans are dangerous! You saw their power, why must you defend them?!" Shouted the hybrid. "They saved my life, now I must repay them." Said the unicorn. During the arguement, me and my friends snuck off and ran back to the forest. "You chose the wrong side Twilight Sparkle..." I heard the hybrid say to the unicorn as we snuck off. Chapter 2When we reached the safety of the trees, we looked at what we managed to grab. A lighter, a bottle of some alcoholic beverage, and a white cloak made for ponies. I used my hidden blade to cut a strip of cloth off the cloak and made a molotov cocktail. My friends were surprised I knew how to do it but I just said to them: "When you live in the house of an end-of-the-world prepper and a neat freak, you pick up a thing or two." We continued to travel northward until we decided to rest by a creek. "Does the name 'twilight sparkle' mean anything to you?" I asked out of the blue. "No, why do you ask?" Said Andrew. "I heard the hybrid say that name to the purple unicorn that protected us. I thought it might give us a clue to where we are." I said before Charm snapped her fingers and said: "We're in equestria! Why didn't I see it sooner?" Me and Andrew were confused. "Don't you see? Mythical creatures, Civilized talking ponies, Twilight Sparkle. We're in the My little pony universe!" "So what your saying is, we are in a TV show..." Said Andrew. I laughed at what he said until I saw that both he and Charm were serious. "Your serious?! We're in a TV show?!" I knew we were far from home, but not in another reality! "Look, we should not focus on that. We should focus on finding a way home." Said Andrew. We then decided to travel northward until we find another settlement that is hopefully friendly or at least neutral to us. Meanwhile, in the canterlot dungeons... Twilight was in a dilemma, on one hoof was helping princess Celestia capture the humans and getting set free, but on the other hoof was helping the humans return to their world and possibly getting executed. Of course she wants to live but she also wants to do what's right. She was pondering over which to choose when she heard commotion outside her cell. Apparently, the humans she protected are heading straight to canterlot! We were heading northward when we saw a city built on the side of a mountain. We used stealth to enter and look around for anything useful. We found a few armaments in an unguarded armory which included, but not limited to: Two shortswords, three spears, and six daggers. We snuck into what appeared to be a castle and were looking around when a guard spotted us. "Raise the alarm! We have intruders!" She said. I ran up to her and stabbed her with my hidden blade, killing her, before we ran down a set of stairs to our right. We ended up in what appeared to be the dungeon and we were about to go back up the stairs when I saw the unicorn from before. "Help me, please..." it said with puppy dog eyes. "Are you twilight sparkle?" I asked, the unicorn nodded and I broke the lock of its cell saying: "Come with me if you want to live." Andrew just looked at me and asked: "You always wanted to say that, didn't you?" Before we ran back up the stairs. "Yeah, it made me feel like a hero." I replied. With twilight sparkle right behind us, we ran from the castle and escaped into the sunset. At the same time... Princess Celestia was livid because not only did the guards fail to catch the humans but they let twilight sparkle escape as well. She used her magic to toss a table out the window then screamed out of said window. When she calmed down, she ordered a kingdom wide pony-hunt for twilight sparkle and her human companions. We camped out in a forest west from the city, hiding from the ponies searching for us. Twilight shared stories from her world and we shared stories from ours. She was shocked when we told her about the two world wars, the atomic bomb, and the war between the assassins and the templars. When she told us the hybrid, named princess celestia, controlled the sun and the moon, we were shocked that we battled her and lived to tell the tale. "What is the assassin's creed?" Asked twilight. Me, Andrew, and Charm huddled together and discussed over it. "Should we tell her?" I asked "she is not an assassin." "But I'm a templar and I know the creed." Replied Andrew. "Because you are a former assassin, not a pure templar." Said Charm. "Okay, I have an idea..." I said before whispering my idea to them. "I agree to this." Said Andrew after I told him my idea. "I am worried it might backfire on us, but I agree." Said Charm, obviously concerned. We all broke the huddle and I answered twilight: "If you want to know the creed, you must join the brotherhood..." Twilight was shocked. To become an assassin is treason, punishable by death! But, she is already an outcast from equestria and she already is a hunted pony "If that be the case, teach me the way of the assassin..." she said after some thought After I crafted twilight a set of hidden blades out of the daggers we stole from the armory, I told her the assassin's creed and she vowed to uphold the three tenets of the creed. The tenets being: 1. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent 2. Hide in plain sight 3. Never compromise the brotherhood "Now, apprentice Twilight, I welcome you to the brotherhood of the assassins." I said as I gave her the cloak we grabbed from ponyville and the pair of hidden blades (which I modified to allow her to use them). "I just realized, We never told you our full names." Said Andrew "my name is Andrew L. Wellington." "My name is Charm A. Valery" said charm "My name is Shadow S. Limgenco" I said " And before you ask its pronounced Lim-heng-co" We continued to chat Twilight, Charm, and Andrew called it a night, I stayed awake to keep watch for anything or anyone that might be a threat to us. Chapter 3In the morning... Andrew woke up first, then Charm, We then spent an hour trying to wake up twilight. When she finally woke up we travelled northwest until we reached Vanhoover. We assigned Twilight to go and scout for any safe way for us to enter, when she came back she had a look of confusion on her face. "What's wrong my apprentice?" I asked while Andrew kept watch and Charm sharpened her kopis. "There is a bar in the town with the assassin's crest on it." She said. "What?! This world has its own brotherhood?! Please show me this bar Twilight." I said and we made a plan. Me and Twilight would enter the bar while Andrew and Charm kept watch from outside the bar, both of them would be backup in case we encounter any trouble. "Let's go my apprentice." I said before we snuck into the town. We snuck into Vanhoover with relative ease, I used the experience to teach twilight the art of stealth. Once we arrived in front of the bar I realized twilight was right! The bar sign was the crest of the assassin brotherhood, me and twilight entered and I was quickly recognized. "That's one of the humans their hunting!" Shouted one pony, I drew my spear and readied myself for battle. "My name is Shadow, this is my apprentice, and I hear there be assassins here." The ponies in the bar then grew worried. "They must be templars! Kill them!" Shouted another pony, I sighed before me and twilight began to fight the bar ponies Celestia was happy, she found the assassin’s last base of operations in Vanhoover. And to top it all off, a spy informed her that the humans were seen in the area. She readied her elite guards, the solar templars, to crush the final resistance to her rule. She was celebrating her coming victory when she looked at the calendar and saw that the Summer Sun Celebration was only a week away, and sending the solar templars to Vanhoover would take at least a week. She decided to send her royal guards instead to crush the assassin resistance and ready her solar templars to fight nightmare moon. During the battle I saw that Twilight seemed to already be an expert in combat. Soon, Andrew and Charm joined in and we were winning the brawl when a hooded pony shouted: "Stop!" We all stopped and looked at her. "It is clear to me you are being hunted by Celestia, if you truly aren't templars. Answer me, what is the three tenets of the creed?" "Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent." I answered "Hide in plain sight." Answered Andrew "Never compromise the brotherhood." Answered charm. "Very good. Brothers and Sisters! These humans are not our enemies, but our brothers!" She said and the bar ponies looked at us and went back to their drinks. "Who are you? How do you know of the creed?" Asked Charm. The hooded pony revealed her cutie mark and it was the symbol of the brotherhood. "My name is Silver blade, but you can call me silver. I am the leader of the assassins, what's left of them anyway..." she said sadly. "What happened to them?" Asked Andrew. Silver told twilight to go and study the art of the assassin in the brotherhood's library before she answered us. "Celestia, Celestia happened." Said silver before she told us the story of their creed's formation One thousand and one years ago... During the great solar/lunar war The war was in its climax, both sides laid waste to the land and conscripted ponies into their armies. To restore peace, a small group of ponies began to assassinate key figures on both sides and free conscripts. They eventually came together and became the Equestrian Freedom Group. They had two main factions, the Saviors and the the Heroes. The Saviors valued peace and free will while the Heroes valued order and control. When Celestia banished Nightmare to the moon, the Hero faction joined the Celestial army to help maintain order in equestria. The Savior faction kept fighting to establish a new country, one of peace and freedom, separate from the kingdom of equestria. Celestia saw them as a threat to her lands and ordered a purge of anybody who is associated with the Equestrian Freedom Group. To prevent Celestia from targeting them, the Hero faction broke off from the EFG and became the solar templars. The Savior faction (along with the remaining EFG) reformed itself into the assassin's brotherhood and created the assassin's creed to govern their members and to keep their group secret from the outside world. However, one member, named Iron Dagger, betrayed the brotherhood and became a solar templar. Through him , the brotherhood was systematically destroyed and the remaining assassins went into hiding. One thousand years later, the brotherhood is still recovering from his betrayal and Celestia's attacks. Twilight returned just after silver finished telling us the history of their creed. we then began to tell our history to silver. Once we finished, Silver was amazed that our brotherhood lasted as long as it has. We began teaching our knowledge to the ponies, we began with our firearms and tactics. They were amazed at our armaments, which to them, was alien technology. They then taught us their knowledge, including information on the Isu artifacts that exist in their world. "Here is where we know the Isu artifacts are located." Said Silver as she showed us a map of equestria. She pointed to canterlot, ponyville, phillydelphia, and los pegasus. "Why haven't you gotten them yet?" Asked charm. "These areas are controlled by Celestia and her solar templars. We can't get close without them knowing. Even if we did, there is no way we can escape without being identified." Silver answered "Leave that to us, we can provide distractions while you obtain the artifacts." Said Andrew. "We can also provide some support to combat their incursions in your turf." Said Charm. "We can sabotage their forces and supplies to weaken them as well." I said. "Thank you for your help and with it, we can complete our goal of establishing a republic of equestria." Said silver, Twilight then asked. "Where do we strike first?" Silver thought over it before she answered: "We shall strike in ponyville in one week..."
Chapter 1Me and my friends Andrew and Charm (who is a girl) were at Comic Con dressed as our OCs from assassin's creed. I was dressed up as an assassin from AC:unity armed with a Spear and two flintlock pistols. Andrew was dressed up as an assassin-turned-templar from AC:rogue with a musket with bayonet and a saber. Charm was dressed as a female assassin from AC:Odessey with a kopis and a bow. I wasn't allowed to bring my hidden blades in, because they were real recreations, so I left them in the car.

It's a-oohhh is that a templar cross?" Asked Andrew when he saw a ornate templar cross on the table. "Yes it is, and you can have it for twenty bucks if he buys the blade set." Answered the vendor. "You two are so stupid! Its obvious he's trying to scam you two!" Shouted charm before grabbing a replica of the broken spear of leonidas and asking "How much is this?" Me and Andrew just faceplamed. "Fifteen dollars if the other two buy the cross and the blades." We all thought over it before saying in unison: "We'll take it!" We paid for it and were about to walk away when the vendor whispered something to us. I was about to ask him what he said when we all blacked out. Meanwhile in ponyville... Twilight sparkle was studying all she could about the current planetary alignment when a loud explosion was heard coming from the everfree. She ran outside just in time to see another two objects crash into the everfree.

I saw the bushes in front of me shake so I pulled out a flintlock and pointed it at whatever was in front of me. I then heard a voice which I recognized as Andrew shout: "Hey, don't shoot me!" "Andrew?! Is that you?" I asked. He stepped out as his assassin-turned-templar OC with his saber in his hand. "Yeah, its me." He said as he sheathed his saber. "Have you seen charm, I can't find her anywhere in this darn forest!" "No, in fact I just woke up." I said as I rubbed my head. "Anyway, let's go I don't think we should stick around to see whatever this forest has to offer." He said while helping me up. "Yes, we should go." I said as I looked around for any sign of life. Later... We have been travelling for about a couple of hours when we heard a cry coming from behind us saying: "Somepony help us!" "What the heck does that person mean by 'Somepony'?" Asked Andrew. I just shrugged before saying: "Anyway, shouldn't we help whoever is shouting?" Andrew nodded before we drew our weapons and ran towards the source of the cry. At the same time...

During the arguement, me and my friends snuck off and ran back to the forest. "You chose the wrong side Twilight Sparkle..." I heard the hybrid say to the unicorn as we snuck off.
Chapter 2When we reached the safety of the trees, we looked at what we managed to grab. A lighter, a bottle of some alcoholic beverage, and a white cloak made for ponies. I used my hidden blade to cut a strip of cloth off the cloak and made a molotov cocktail. My friends were surprised I knew how to do it but I just said to them: "When you live in the house of an end-of-the-world prepper and a neat freak, you pick up a thing or two." We continued to travel northward until we decided to rest by a creek. "Does the name 'twilight sparkle' mean anything to you?" I asked out of the blue. "No, why do you ask?" Said Andrew.

We used stealth to enter and look around for anything useful. We found a few armaments in an unguarded armory which included, but not limited to: Two shortswords, three spears, and six daggers. We snuck into what appeared to be a castle and were looking around when a guard spotted us. "Raise the alarm! We have intruders!" She said. I ran up to her and stabbed her with my hidden blade, killing her, before we ran down a set of stairs to our right.

Limgenco" I said " And before you ask its pronounced Lim-heng-co" We continued to chat Twilight, Charm, and Andrew called it a night, I stayed awake to keep watch for anything or anyone that might be a threat to us.
Chapter 3In the morning... Andrew woke up first, then Charm, We then spent an hour trying to wake up twilight. When she finally woke up we travelled northwest until we reached Vanhoover. We assigned Twilight to go and scout for any safe way for us to enter, when she came back she had a look of confusion on her face. "What's wrong my apprentice?" I asked while Andrew kept watch and Charm sharpened her kopis. "There is a bar in the town with the assassin's crest on it." She said. "What?! This world has its own brotherhood?! Please show me this bar Twilight." I said and we made a plan. Me and Twilight would enter the bar while Andrew and Charm kept watch from outside the bar, both of them would be backup in case we encounter any trouble. "Let's go my apprentice." I said before we snuck into the town. We snuck into Vanhoover with relative ease, I used the experience to teach twilight the art of stealth. Once we arrived in front of the bar I realized twilight was right! The bar sign was the crest of the assassin brotherhood, me and twilight entered and I was quickly recognized. "That's one of the humans their hunting!" Shouted one pony, I drew my spear and readied myself for battle. "My name is Shadow, this is my apprentice, and I hear there be assassins here." The ponies in the bar then grew worried. "They must be templars! Kill them!" Shouted another pony, I sighed before me and twilight began to fight the bar ponies Celestia was happy, she found the assassin’s last base of operations in Vanhoover. And to top it all off, a spy informed her that the humans were seen in the area. She readied her elite guards, the solar templars, to crush the final resistance to her rule. She was celebrating her coming victory when she looked at the calendar and saw that the Summer Sun Celebration was only a week away, and sending the solar templars to Vanhoover would take at least a week. She decided to send her royal guards instead to crush the assassin resistance and ready her solar templars to fight nightmare moon. During the battle I saw that Twilight seemed to already be an expert in combat. Soon, Andrew and Charm joined in and we were winning the brawl when a hooded pony shouted: "Stop!" We all stopped and looked at her. "It is clear to me you are being hunted by Celestia, if you truly aren't templars. Answer me, what is the three tenets of the creed?" "Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent." I answered "Hide in plain sight." Answered Andrew "Never compromise the brotherhood." Answered charm. "Very good. Brothers and Sisters! These humans are not our enemies, but our brothers!" She said and the bar ponies looked at us and went back to their drinks. "Who are you? How do you know of the creed?" Asked Charm. The hooded pony revealed her cutie mark and it was the symbol of the brotherhood. "My name is Silver blade, but you can call me silver. I am the leader of the assassins, what's left of them anyway..." she said sadly. "What happened to them?" Asked Andrew. Silver told twilight to go and study the art of the assassin in the brotherhood's library before she answered us. "Celestia, Celestia happened." Said silver before she told us the story of their creed's formation One thousand and one years ago... During the great solar/lunar war The war was in its climax, both sides laid waste to the land and conscripted ponies into their armies. To restore peace, a small group of ponies began to assassinate key figures on both sides and free conscripts. They eventually came together and became the Equestrian Freedom Group. They had two main factions, the Saviors and the the Heroes. The Saviors valued peace and free will while the Heroes valued order and control. When Celestia banished Nightmare to the moon, the Hero faction joined the Celestial army to help maintain order in equestria. The Savior faction kept fighting to establish a new country, one of peace and freedom, separate from the kingdom of equestria. Celestia saw them as a threat to her lands and ordered a purge of anybody who is associated with the Equestrian Freedom Group. To prevent Celestia from targeting them, the Hero faction broke off from the EFG and became the solar templars. The Savior faction (along with the remaining EFG) reformed itself into the assassin's brotherhood and created the assassin's creed to govern their members and to keep their group secret from the outside world. However, one member, named Iron Dagger, betrayed the brotherhood and became a solar templar. Through him , the brotherhood was systematically destroyed and the remaining assassins went into hiding. One thousand years later, the brotherhood is still recovering from his betrayal and Celestia's attacks. Twilight returned just after silver finished telling us the history of their creed. we then began to tell our history to silver. Once we finished, Silver was amazed that our brotherhood lasted as long as it has. We began teaching our knowledge to the ponies, we began with our firearms and tactics. They were amazed at our armaments, which to them, was alien technology. They then taught us their knowledge, including information on the Isu artifacts that exist in their world. "Here is where we know the Isu artifacts are located." Said Silver as she showed us a map of equestria. She pointed to canterlot, ponyville, phillydelphia, and los pegasus. "Why haven't you gotten them yet?" Asked charm. "These areas are controlled by Celestia and her solar templars. We can't get close without them knowing. Even if we did, there is no way we can escape without being identified." Silver answered "Leave that to us, we can provide distractions while you obtain the artifacts." Said Andrew. "We can also provide some support to combat their incursions in your turf." Said Charm. "We can sabotage their forces and supplies to weaken them as well." I said. "Thank you for your help and with it, we can complete our goal of establishing a republic of equestria." Said silver, Twilight then asked. "Where do we strike first?" Silver thought over it before she answered: "We shall strike in ponyville in one week..."
