Assassin's Creed: Friendship is Magic

Connor and the girls wallked through the streets of Boston until they found who they were looking for by the city docks when thet approached two men conversing.

"Look, sanctions and demonstrations won't suffice, Sam. We need to act! And I'm talking about more than a sternly worded letter."

"I sympathize with your frustrations, gentlemen. But surely you can understand my reluctance to kick the hornet's nest."

"The Tories sting no matter what we do. Might as well make it count."

Sam turned to face Connor. "Ah! Connor, hello again. What brings you to Boston?"

"You." Connor replied.

Sam turned towards the man he was talking to. "Would you excuse us fellows?" The other man walked away.

Connor, the girls, and Sam Adams walked through the streets of Boston, dodging past and weaving throught the groups of people. "Thank you Connor. That conversation was about to turn unpleasant. Now, what can I do for you?"

"I was hoping you could help me locate William Johnson."

"Of course. I'm headed towards a meeting with some men who might be able to help. Why don't you and your companions come along?"

Connor gave a grunt of acknowledgement.

Sam continued the conversation. "It is good to see the people taking a stand against injustice."

"Says the man who owns a slave." The girls took notice of what Connor had just said.

"Who? Surry? I practice what I preach my friend. She is not a slave but a free woman, atleast on paper. Mens minds are not so easily turned. It's a tragedy that for all our progress, still we cling to such barbarism."

"Then speak out against it." Connor said, raising his voice slightly.

"We must first focus on claiming our own rights, when that is done then we shall have the luxury of addressing such matters."

"You speak as though your condition is equal to that of the slaves, it is not."

"Tell that to my neighbor - who was compelled to quarter British troops. Or to my friend who's store was closed because he displeased the Crown. The people here are no freer than Surry."

The group came across a man on the top floor of his house who was having an argument with some British soldiers.

"Hey, it's my home no matter what you thieves called 'taxmen' say! If the gumps in Parliament want my property, you tell them to sail across the pond and take it themselves!" The man in the house yelled at the taxman on his doorstep.

"It's not open for discussion! Now open this door or these men will break it down!" The taxman said.

The man in the house dropped the contents of a used chamber pot onto the taxmans feet.

"Ah bollocks we're comin' in!" The redcoats began smashing the the windows of the house and kicked the door.

"I trust the mounting evidence is proof enough, Connor." Sam said.

"Continue on. I shall meet you at our destination." Connor said to Sam, he then turned to face the girls. "Stay here." He then ran towards the guards.

The owner of the house ran out of the door just before the soldiers had smashed down the door and thrusted a knife into the chest of one of the guards. Connor plunged his tomahawk into the back of the closest redcoat. Two more had turned to face him in a battle readied stance, each man at a different side of him, the one on his right tried to stab Connor with is bayonet but Connor grabbed the barrel of the musket and pulled it and its user into the other redcoat who was now behind him, Connor held his tomahawk up and brought the blade down on the head of the redcoat. The house owner sliced the neck of the remaining soldier. He then walked up to Connor.

"Justice for once. I dare the Governor to send more." The home owner said.

"You alright?" Connor asked as he sheathed his tomahawk.

"I'm fine. It's not my first dance. For all their teeth and claws these little foxes, they fight like puppies. Thank you, my friend. I'd buy you an ale, but I'm expected somewhere else."

The man shook Connor's hand and quickly walked away before anymore guards showed up.

Connor and the girls made their way to the tavern were they were to meet Samuel and his assosciates. When they entered they were greeted by Sam.

"Connor! I'd like you to meet some like-minded friends. The owner of this fine establishment, William Molineux and the manager and chef of his newest venure, Stephane Chapheau."

Stephane spoke up first. "Ah, Connor and I just had a ball with some Redcoats enforcing some taxmen outside my home!"

William was sitting on a stool at the bar of the tavern. "The collectors grow bolder and more forceful. Something we must address, Samuel."

Sam replied. "Then let us raise a banner. Something to let the people know that they are not alone. The docks are an angry place of late, protesters picketing the latest shipments of British tea. The eyes of the city are upon that stage..."

Stephane chuckled. "A Bostonian without his tea is a dangerous beast!"

William pulled a small bag out of his pocket "William Johnson is smuggling the tea off the ships - one of his men tried to sell me this. A sample of what I refused, but it's from those ships - no mistaking the stamp. He's charging a King's ransom, must be he's making a mint off those who buy it."

"Where is he now?" Connor asked.

"I've never met the man." William said as he put the bag of tea on the counter.

"May I ask why you seek him, Connor?" Sam inquired.

"He intends to purchase the land upon which my village stands without the consent of my people."

"No doubt the revenue from his little smuggling endeavor is financing the acquisition. A tax enforced on tea grants a boon to smugglers. I'll wager the same men who levy the taxes are selling the tea. A stage requires a spectacle and I may know the play. Connor, head back to the docks and see to the destruction of the tea. If you should need us return here. "

Connor's apprentices were following him out of the tavern when he turned to them. "You are not coming with me, it's too dangerous."

"But we wanna help." Rainbow protested.

"Uhm... actually I agree with Connor, I think we should stay here... you know... were it's safe." Fluttershy said.

"I am sorry but do not have the skills to aid me during my current mission." Connor said to Rainbow.

"But  you said you would train us."

"I will train you later, I promise. But right now I have more important matters to attend to."

Connor walked down the stree and bumped into a man carrying a crate, it's contents fell on the floor.

"Pardon me." Connor said as he turned around.

"Aw, come on, mate." The man said, clearly disgruntled.

Connor saw that what had come out of the crate was a large quantity of small bags exactly like the one William had shown him less than five minutes earlier. Connor glared at the man and made his way towards him and the man responded by running in the opposite direction.

After sitting in the tavern for less than a minute Rainbow Dash couldn't take it anymore. "That's it, I'm gonna look for him."

"Rainbow just wait, he can't be that long." Twilight said.

"I don't care. I'm gonna go help him." Rainbow walked out of the tavern.

"Confound that Rainbow Dash. She drives me to drink." Pinkie said as she poured herself some beer into a tankard.

Connor made his way into the docks, making sure not to draw attention to himself, when he heard a guard behind him yelliing at some one in a secluded alleyway, he turned around to see what was going on.

It was Rainbow Dash. She had done something to anger a guard. And now she was paying for it.

"You think you can push me around do ya?" She waved her fist at the guard, to which he responded with by hitting her in her stomach and head repeatedly with the butt of his rifle. Connor ran towards the guard, leaped into the air, and stabbed the  guard in the throat with his hidden blade.

"Are you alright?" Connor lifted her up off the ground.

"Yeah I'm fine." She wiped the blood off of her forehead with the back of her hand. "Lets go blow up some tea."

Connor hid the guards body in a hay bale, then he and Rainbow Dash made their way through the dock until they came to a collection of crates of tea piled on top of eachother and surrounded by four guards near the waterside. The duo hid behind a wall, Connor noticed a few barrels of gunpowder by collection of tea crates, he devised a plan.

"I'll shoot the gunpowder by the crates, be ready to run when you hear the explosion." Rainbow nodded.

Connor pulled out his pistol and leaned around the corner, as soon as he could see the powder keg he pulled the trigger. The resulting explosion killed the four men guarding it. Connor and Rainbow ran and hid is the safety of a convieniantly placed hay bale while the guards ran towards the source of the explosion, When he guards had passed they made their way to the next shipment of tea.

Connor and Rainbow Dash climbed onto the rooftop of the building nearest to their next target. Connor leaped down off the building and killed two guards at once with his hidden blades, the other tried to attack Connor but they were quickly dispatched by his blades.

Connor placed a barrel of gunpowder next to the shipment of tea, he then grabbed the musket of a fallen guard, made his way to a safe nough distance, aimed at the powder keg and fired the musket. Rainbow Dash heard the explosion and jumped off the rooftop, knowing that was the signal to move onto their next target.

There were two British Grenadiers guarding the last shipment. Connor reloaded his pistols. He shot the first grenadier but couldn't even get a chance to aim at the second one as his axe was aimed straight at Connor's head. He rolled out of the way of the axe, behind the grenadier and brought his tomahawk down on the grenadiers back repeatadely.

Rainbow Dash came out of hiding carrying a keg of gunpowder. "Can I do it this time?" Connor handed her his loaded pistol, she aimed at the keg and pulled the trigger. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh that was so awesome!"

"We should leave before more of them show up." Connor said as he took back his pistol.

"Uhm, yeah, heh heh." Rainbow blushed after realizing how strange she must have looked during her sudden outburst of explosion enduced joy.

Connor and Rainbow Dash arrived back at the tavern.

"The tea has been destroyed." Connor said as he walked up to Sam Adams.

"Dash what the heck was yall thinkin' runnin of like that?" Applejack said RD approached them.

"Indeed, Rainbow Dash's sudden departure gave my jimmies quite the rustling." Pinkie said as she smoked a cigar whilst wearing a monicle and top hat.

"I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like that in public." Rarity said as she eyed RD's current attire.

"I'm just glad you're ok." Fluttershy said barely audible.

"Yeah, I'm pretty awesome." Dash boasted.

"Still the same old Rainbow Dash." Twilight said.
