Assassin Creed

Arkham City

Prologue:

Narrator = "Arkham City… The most dangerous city in the world… Due to the lack of resources, the police abandon chances of retaking the city and it became a city for criminals. No heroes were born here and resources became a rarity. This is a story that follows a young girl name Sarah who lived with her father. Sarah is fated to be the last hope that no one knew about and it starts with a terrible incident that drove her to determination."

Inside Arkham City, it is chaotic as always and many innocents are hiding in fear. In one particular hideout, Sarah is cleaning up while her father is at a computer. Sarah's mother was killed by a gang and she is trying very hard to keep her father safe. Her father is a religious man who refuses to leave the city and hopes for change.

Sarah = "What are you looking up, Dad? Tickets to a train?"

Father = "You know that we're not leaving…"

Sarah = "Why can't you understand that Arkham City is no longer our home?! Mom died because of them and this has been continuing forever. Why can't we go somewhere safe and forget about? Would it be easier to do that?"

Father = "Even if we leave the city, the problems will continue to grow and it will catch up to us."

Sarah = "Then we will run away to another place!"

Father = "And then what? Until there is no place to run? That's foolish thinking!"

Sarah = "Even a fool can be right about this dire situation."

There was a phone call and father answered. Once the call ended, her father stands up.

Father = "I need to go to the church now."

Sarah = "Are you out of your mind?! It's too dangerous!"

Her father left without saying anything. Sarah was so upset that she threw a box at the door. Sarah went to bed in hopes to relax.

After a few hours, Sarah woke up and noticed her father is not home. Sarah checked everywhere to see that everything is the same and it worries her. Sarah grabbed her coat and hurried outside. She ran a far distance to see the church was burning. Sarah was in so deep of a shock that she feel to her knees. She heard the people around her that no one escaped and those inside are dead. After that terrible event, Sarah went home and trashed the house.

On the next day, Sarah was still angry that she threw a vase towards a particular wall that opened up to another room. Sarah went inside to find something unexpected. The room is filled with weapons and tools with a strange machine and a capsule containing armor of an Assassin. Sarah is shocked to find something that is completely different.

Sarah = "Is this really my father's studies? I thought he is a religious man…"

Sarah finds a computer and looked into it to find some information and her father's last words.

Father's Message to the Council = "We have information that needs us to take action. The Templars are planning on using an Immortal Stone to create the Eternal Templar to last throughout the generations. Many young bloods have less interest in religion and that is causing fear within the Templars that they are disappearing. We are facing the same problem and we will soon disappear too, but I have a plan. If the Templars are creating an Eternal Templar, we must do the same. Even if we are gone, we will pass on the memories and our spirit to the Eternal Assassin to counter them. We must find someone that will take on this challenge to save the future."

Sarah = "I… I still don't get it…"

Sarah looked to her left to see a strange machine and see the papers.

Sarah = "Was my father building this?"

Paper = "The Animus is a virtual reality machine that allows users to rediscover memoires inside DNA that survived the tests of time. This will reawaken the Assassin that person inherited."

Sarah decided to use the machine and see the some glimpses of the past which scared her.

The next day, Sarah went back to the church to find out the bodies of her father and the other members are missing. Sarah dug more to find a medallion with a creed symbol. Sarah went back home and thought this out.

Sarah's Thoughts = "Ok, let's think this through, my dad is really an Assassin and it's possibility that he was killed by a Templar. Due to decline in recruit from young generations, they want to create the Eternal Templar to carry on the mettle for eternality. However, my dad discovered the plan, stole one of the stones, and made a plan to create an Eternal Assassin to counter them. I guess my dad was trying to find a candidate since the process is not easily undone."

Sarah went back to her dad's studies and stare at the machine that will make her an Eternal Assassin.

Sarah's Thoughts = "I know this is nuts, but I am beginning to understand why dad never want to leave the city. If this whole Templar vs. Assassin is a tug-of-war game, then it's been going on for centuries. Based what my dad left behind, the Templar are manipulative people who desire power and wealth. Many of their horrors are well documented, thanks to my dad. Meanwhile, the Assassin's history stretches to Ancient Egypt and they do things differently. It doesn't matter if the person they target is a ruler or a normal person, if they are tormenting the weak, they must pay the price with their lives. It must be my dad's duties to continue his work here since Arkham City fallen to this terrible state."

Sarah strapped herself on to the machine and placed her hand on the button that will change her.

Sarah = "I'm pretty sure if dad did survive and no one takes the mettle, he would do it himself."

Sarah pressed the button and immediately she witness a rush of memories showing each Assassin while the stone merges with the body. After an hour of this life changing event, Sarah woke up to find her hair and eyes turned white, the price of immortality.

On the rooftop in the center of Arkham City, Sarah stares at the sky as she reflects all the memories she has saw while looking at the past. The moon shines onto her who now wearing the robotic armor of an Assassin.

Sarah's Thoughts = "I finally understand what my dad was saying to me… If we run away from the problem, it will only grow to the point to the point where it's uncontrollable. I never understood the meaning until now. 'Nothing is real, everything is permitted.' My dad would say that when he was at church. When they say that nothing is real, it is to see that the foundations are fragile and we must take on the mettle of the Shepherd. When they say that everything is permitted, we have to understand that we are the masterminds of our actions and must live with the consequences, even if it is for joy or sadness. My pretty sure someone said something like that, but it's close."

Sarah stood up and stared at the city.

Sarah = "There are three important rules Assassin must know before heading out. The rules are to keeping the blades away from the flesh of innocent, hide in plain sight, and never comprise the Brotherhood. Many criminals here are something like corrupted figure… If I want to give the people the chance to fight against them, I need to give them a voice."

Sarah placed the mask on and walked to the edge. The mask has the symbol of the Creed and has green eyes. Sarah jumps and performs the Leap of Faith.
