Please keep the reviews coming ^^ I really want to know what you guys think of the story !
New Age's events are completely fictional and I am trying to link some key events to the original story.
I do not own Assassin's Creed nor any of the characters that are in the games, listed in the story.
James opened his eyes. As he looked through the room, he could notice the lack of light. But that wasn't a problem, he lived this way for the past 10 years and he never complained. It was his life, his quest and his goal. The same clothes and the same way of life. All of that was so linear, and yet, everyday he would fight differently. He quickly grabbed his vambrace and placed it into his right arm. Then, he pulled his hood onto his head and stood up. Walking ahead, he then grabbed a big brick, sliding it, exiting the area and placing it back. Yes, it was his home, his secret home. He would hide everyday there till the morning. James placed his two arms against the wall, and started climbing it. When he reached the top, he stopped, trying to spot a man on the roof. He then heard the sound of his boots, coming towards his ledge. When he could see him, he pulled up and jumped onto the man, inserting his right arm into his throat, as a white blade would slide out of the vambrace. A pistol was then thrown to the floor. James noticed it and grabbed it as he turned towards the corpse, saying:
"You won't be needing this, anymore, buddy."
The gun started turning in his hands, testing its speed. When satisfied, he placed it inside his pocket and immediately started running towards the edge of the roof, and then… he jumped. Landing on the next roof, he took a look around. Nobody had seen him. Leaning towards the ground, he found a black motorcycle. Exactly what he was looking for. Carefully descending, he jumped onto the vehicle and picked the lock, switching the engine on. Placing his hands on the handlebars, he turned the right one, making the motorcycle advance. He was headed towards the downtown, stopping next to a coffee shop. He then pushed the door, entering the crowded bar. Not stopping, he then headed towards the toilets where he made sure no one was around. His right hand slowly grabbed the tap and turned the cold water handle while approaching the water flow saying:
"It's James. Unleash the Creed."
Immediatly after his words were said, the tap revealed a hidden staircase. James followed the path as the tap returned to its original form. A dark room appeared. At the centre, there was a table, where several hooded men were sitting. In the corner, there was another assassin working on a computer. One of the hooded men turned towards James and spoke :
" Hello, James. I presume you are here for the next assignment "
James nodded in agreement, pulling a chair and sitting.
" Alright. William has arrived in New York. They have the package, and everything is set. We have one last problem. We have another clue for Cross. It seems he returned to Russia. We need him extracted. This mission is not easy and we had prepared a team for it, but we cannot afford loosing more men. William personally asked for you to go and fetch him."
James then looked at the man and opened his mouth, carefully speaking :
- Do I have... permission to kill if I have to ?
- You do. But avoid it, we need to see what is up with him.
- Understood. When ?
- There's will be a flight tonight heading to Moscou. No instructions, you find a way to get in there.
- Alright. Will there be a cell there ?
- Unfortunatly not. Our Russian Cell has been disabled two years ago.
James stood up, looked at the man in the corner, who nodded. James then approached the staircase as it revealed the toilets. Exiting the bar, he hopped on his bike and started the engine. Two hurs later, he arrived at the airport. James placed a hand in his pocket and retrieved a little earphone that he put on his ear.
- James here. What's the flight ?
- Abstergo Lines.
- Are you serious ? You expect me to get inside a place full of Templar agents ?
- Exactly.
- Why didn't you choose a normal airline company ?
- Because this plane transports lots of intel on their Russian operations. You get in there, you clean up the place and retrieve what you can.
- Did I specify that I can't fly a plane ?
- Then you'll have to parachute near the coast and let the plane sink in the ocean.
- Alright. James, out.
He then pulled the earphone and placed it back in his pocket. James thought for a minute. He couldn't enter from the Departures as the metal detectors would immediatly spot him. Only way was to get into the runways from the security entrances. He approached a security guard and jumped on him, hitting him with his pistol. The guard was knocked out. James could freely progress through the runways, spotting the Abstergo flight. He could not get on the flight from the ground. So he waited till the plane starting reversing. He then ran towards the front wheel and climbed it, out of sight. The plane started progressing through the runway and gaining speed, while James was grabbing the metal stick as good as he could, and when the plane finally exited the ground, the wheel was pulled back inside the plane. James let go and fell. He then stood up and waited, crawling towards the seats. Checking the location of the plane, waiting for it to reach Russian coast, he ran inside the cabin and shouted :
" Party's over ! "
He pulled his Glock and shot 4 agents as he threw multiple knives that all hit the faces of several other Templars. A security guard entered the cabin, discovering the massacre, and pointing his MP5-K towards James who silenced him directly with a throwing knife. He grabbed his weapon and rushed into the next cabin, killing everyone in the process. Searching for anything of importance he noticed a black computer. James grabbed a USB key from his bag and copied all the data before killing the two pilots. He then took one of the emergency parachutes and jumped. The air was flowing through his face as he turned backwards, looking at the plane, falling towards the sea. Two minutes later, James landed, a kilometer away from Moscou.
