Alright, so here it is! The story I have been promising! It's an Assassin's Creed inspired AU of Rizzoli & Isles and I hope people will enjoy this as much as Video Game Days at Maura's. I will probably be sporadic at updating this one because it's my first huge multi-chapter story that is centers on one complete topic and before anyone asks, Yes, this will be Rizzles but it will take time so be patient!

This is going to be slightly strange but this story centers on two individuals mainly; Jane Rizzoli and Dario Renzi. Jane will be centered on the modern era of assassins and Dario will be centered between the time AC: Brotherhood finishes and AC: Revelations starts. There will be mentions of Ezio and Altair here and there but that's about it and it will not stick with either of them because this story is about Jane and Dario and trying to destroy the Templars. More characters will be introduced later in the chapters and it will introduce some made up characters and the characters we know from Rizzoli & Isles.

So enjoy! All mistakes are my own and thank you NightmareWalker for being an awesome beta!

I do not own Rizzoli & Isles or Assassin's Creed.


Through My Eyes

Prologue: The Creed

The wind whipped and the rain fell from the sky under wisps of gray storm clouds. Thunder rumbled in the distance. The city of Boston grew dreary and miserable for those who walked the streets going to and fro. Traffic backed up, angry and annoyed drivers shouting and cursing each other because they were late for something important because of the rain.

None of that mattered at the moment. Jane Rizzoli kept her head down, hood shielding the top part of her face but she always wore a mask on the top part of her face. It was too risky these days considering the technology and CCTV cameras at every corner since the Boston Marathon bombings. She walked at a brisk pace as she tailed a middle aged man, carrying an umbrella and yelling into his cell phone with a number of body guards surrounding him and holding his umbrella for him. His shiny platinum ring lay securely around his right middle finger; encrusted in blood red stones in the shape of a Templar cross. She had been hunting this bastard for months; all things permitting. Warrick Höfler is a CEO who had been sending millions of dollars to fund homegrown terrorist organizations in the United States, corporate blackmail but he was the biggest fish swimming in the large Abstergo Industries Ocean. Höfler is also a big player in the European Abstergo Industries companies in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Jane knew that if she cut the head off one of the biggest Abstergo snakes in the pit, the rest of it would die; meaning the terrorists he was funding would lose their funding for weapons and drugs, the blackmail would be uncovered and Abstergo would have to stop to find out how to replace one of the richest Templars in their ranks on the Eastern Seaboard. With Höfler gone, the Boston and New York City Abstergo Industries would flounder, and then the assassins could gain control of the cities once more. It had been known that the Assassins were few and far in between since the purges. Jane had counted her lucky stars that she had always been able to escape the Templar's clutches and Abstergo purge teams with her family. They hid in plain sight for years and none of the Abstergo agents or Templars knew. Jane had taken up training to be an assassin once she knew the family secret and history. One of her ancestors was part of the Assassin Brotherhood but unknown though he did take over leadership roles for Ezio Auditore da Firenze when the older master Assassin retired to have a family.

There wasn't much on Dario Renzi da Venezia but all Jane knew was he was a part of the brotherhood after he was recruited by Ezio. Dario then passed it down to his sons until it fell to Jane because her father and uncles refuse to done the cloak and hidden blades. So it fell to her to don the beaked assassin's cloak and the hidden blades.

Jane shook her head not wanting to get lost in her own head. She needed to be focused if she was going to take out Höfler and slowly work her way up the ladder of Templars in Boston. She knew if she wanted to rid all Templar influence in Boston, she would have to start at the bottom and she had been for years. Ever since she was 20 years old, she had been trying to gain ground on the Templars but she was just one gold fish among great white sharks until she met Maura. From then on, Jane picked off Templars left and right since and made sure never to leave a trace.

Jane moved fluidly through throngs of people who were griping about the sudden down pour but Jane kept quiet. The assassin kept her eyes on her target. She couldn't lose him not after she spent months tracking him down. If Jane was going to get him, she had to act very soon when he was in his office or when he was in a parking garage. She would dispose of him quickly and get any information she needed on the next Templar and then establish control for the Assassins once more.

She kept her family and most of all had Maura on her mind. Maura had been on her mind more than usual; Maura Isles and Caoilainn Doyle, Jane's past life's, lover from the mid 1500s. It was strange because Jane had gotten a good number of Dario's memories but it was only when Jane was around Maura. Maura helped her unlock the secrets and past teachings of a man who trained with one of the greatest Assassins' in Italy and Jane was grateful because it helped her become a better assassin in the brotherhood. Once Maura found out about what Jane really was, the medical examiner was terrified; not of the assassin part but of Jane blatantly murdering people but Jane's reasoning was noble.

It was noble to the Assassin Brotherhood and to Dario Renzi da Venezia's memory and Maura came to understand the reasoning and why. Slowly, as the memories from Dario that leaked into Jane's subconscious for the past five years, Jane felt as if she knew him. Hell, she even felt as if she knew two of the greatest Italian philosophers; Leonardo Di Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli. She knew exactly what the Protestant Reformation was, heard all about John Calvin and Martin Luther, met Henry VIII through Dario's eyes and could say and confirm for historians that he was greedier than what they say. Jane also met Pope Clement VII because he was friends with Ezio and even played cards and hunted down Templars with Anne Boleyn before Anne married and then was assassinated in Jane's opinion a number of years later by Henry VIII. Dario and Caoilainn even helped put Anne's daughter Elizabeth on the throne after disposing of her half sister, Queen Mary because Mary was a Templar.

Jane knew how Dario ticked and how he loved. She saw how he hated and how he became a respected Assassin who helped Ezio Auditore da Firenze liberate Roma from the Borgia and Templars with his Assassins' guild that he left in the capable hands of Niccolo Machiavelli. Dario had branched out, traveled to Germany, England, Spain, Russia, Greece, and many more places helping the assassins against the Templars and to protect the Apple of Eden from the Templars but ultimately settled in England with Anne and Caoilainn and helped the Assassin's guild in England. Jane had also seen how Dario fell in love with Caoilainn Doyle, Maura's ancestor or past-life. She hadn't really figured it all out, just that she knew that she and Maura were connected; bound somehow but the detective couldn't really put her finger on it and it gave Jane this strength to rid the world of Templars and Abstergo.

'Remember the Creed. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Remember those words, Dario. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent, hide in plain sight and never compromise the brotherhood. No matter what happens, you never compromise your brothers and sisters of the brotherhood.'

Jane blinked as the memory filtered before her eyes as she heard a sharp and heavily Italian accented man with a scar on his lip say to her past life or ancestor Dario. Jane knew this man as Dario's mentor, Ezio Auditore. Jane knew that this man, Höfler needed to die because he was the last link to severing the Abstergo and Templar link in Boston. She didn't spill others blood and drops of her own for him to escape now. This is where it was going to end and this is where Jane would either fade into obscurity or be known in the history books for rebelling and ousting Abstergo from Massachusetts. Hopefully, what she was going to do here today, Jane hoped other assassins hiding from Abstergo will see what she had done today and see that fighting back against the enemy of the Assassin Brotherhood was for the greater good.

'I love you Dario Renzi da Venezia. Please come back to me, my love.'

'I love you Jane Clementine Rizzoli. Please come back to me safe and unharmed.'

Jane heard the two voices mingling together. Today Jane Rizzoli had to be both Dario Renzi and Jane Rizzoli if she was going to survive today; for Caoilainn Doyle and Maura Isles.


The first memory in italics is Ezio telling Dario at some point during his assassin training of the Creed and the second one in italics towards the end is Caoilainn speaking to Dario.

Also, Caoilainn is spoken like Cailin from what I read online. Thank NightmareWalker for the name idea for Caoilainn! If you want an idea of what Caoilainn looks like. Think of Sasha Alexander with fiery red hair. Let that image sink in for a moment.

Next chapter will be up soon! :D
