Hey guys, been wanting to get into some Assassin's Creed stories, so here we are, hope you like the title
I know I probably shouldn't be adding another story to my profile when I'm hard pressed to update the others constantly, but I can't help it when inspiration strikes!
Disclaimer: I don't own Assassin's Creed or anything related to the games

Somewhere in the Caribbean Sea far off the coast of Tulum
/
The sun was just coming up on an island in the middle of nowhere, and if one decided to look very carefully from the coast with a spyglass, they would be able to see a single large brig currently engaged in a scuffle with a few British Man O Wars
Now you might think this to be overkill, but you would be wrong, as numerous sinking wrecks of other British ships lay destroyed and on fire, corpses floating in the water close by
This brig was about 1.5 times larger than your average run of the mill cargo brig, boasting 15 heavy cannons on either side of her, colored blood red, covered from bow to stern in metal armor, and with a black flag flying proudly above the crow's nest
"Keep it together men! Let's sink as many of these bastards as we can! Do not let the tale of the Raider be one to laugh at!"
This cry came from a woman who was currently manning the wheel, 5' 11" wearing a custom made robe colored black with bits of white, a hood pulled down from her head revealing her spiky black hair and red eyes (think the privateer outfit from AC4)
Her body was mostly covered by her robes, but one could clearly see the outline of her breasts, showing they were in no way small
This was Ryuko Nakamura, and she was a pirate
As volleys of cannonballs hit the ship from all sides she wobbles and stumbles around, keeping a firm hold on the wheel as she turns toward one of the 3 Man O Wars remaining
Once they get close and have the whole ship facing their port side, she points to the ship "Open fire! Sink her!"
Her men do as ordered like a well oiled machine, the guns lighting up the British ship and blowing up their powder magazine "Great shot lads, now to finish the other two off!"
She laughs as the ship turns to run right in between the other ships, though the cannons were still being loaded as the British prepared to fire theirs "Oh shit, brace for impact!"
She gets down as the Man O Wars shoot her ship to hell, sadly all of her men being lost in the cannon fire as well "No! This isn't how it was supposed to end!"
She looks upon her ship as it burns, holes littering the sides and the deck, the dead bodies of her men, no, her family littering the deck
She runs below decks to see how things are doing, only to find even more bodies, only the cannons have survived "No... They will pay for this!"
Ryuko had her cannons set up in a unique way, you simply had to pull a rope to make the cannon fire due to the mechanisms within, and she had linked the ropes up so one person could fire all of the cannons in a desperate situation by tying them all together and bringing them together not far from where she stood
She walks over to the ropes with a fury in her eyes, pulling as hard as she could and setting off all 30 guns, utterly destroying the sides of the other ships and leaving holes in the lower parts of their ships, condemning them to sink slowly as the men within lay dead
The then takes out two flintlock pistols and aims at the powder magazines of each ship, which had been exposed in the cannon fire "My men will have fun with you all in hell, don't keep them waiting"
With that, she pulls the triggers, causing the barrels of gunpowder to explode and send smaller explosions through the rest of the ships
Ryuko then walks back up to the deck and unfurls the sails herself, since she no longer had anyone to do it for her
Once she unfurls the sails she gets to work, grabbing the bodies of her fallen allies and lining them up in neat rows along the deck, readying a life boat for herself and leaving more powder barrels in openings of the ship's sides, and on the deck itself
As Ryuko sails away, she looks at the ship with a sad gaze in her eyes as it sails with a course to nowhere, taking out her pistol "May you all rest in piece, and save me a drink and a spot at the table in hell"
With that, she closes her eyes and pulls the trigger, the shot hitting one of the barrels and blowing up her ship and her crew with it, giving them the death they wanted, a death at sea
After taking another minute to try and calm her nerves, she sits down and begins rowing towards a nearby island, not currently caring whether she'd be saved by passing vessel or left to die on this unknown island

Timeskip: 4 hours later

Ryuko sighed as she sat on the beach looking up at the sky, she had been on this island for a few hours, bored out of her mind until she heard the sounds of metal clashing against metal, causing her to get up "What in the hell is going on over there?"
She makes her way through the trees, careful not to attract the attention of anything lurking around in the jungle below, until she comes upon a clearing where a man in a brown hooded cloak was sparring against a beautiful woman in familiar looking clothes
Ryuko watches for a few minutes as they spar with small blades seeming to protrude from their wrists, seeming to be very intrigued by them
After a while they finally stop, and she realizes why the woman looked so familiar "James Kidd?"
She covers her mouth quickly, while the two down below snap their heads in her direction "An intruder?" "Bloody hell Mentor, someone's gone and snuck right past the others, we've gotta capture them else we be exposed"
Ryuko's eyes widen as the two start easily climbing trees and rocks, approaching her in her high tree very quickly "Oh shit!"
With that, she turns to jump into a watering hole below, with the strange man and the newly discovered female otherwise known as 'James Kidd' hot on her heels
