Luna sat at the computer typing as quickly as possible as the email came in from Rebecca. They had someone on the inside at Abstergo, and now they were receiving vital information. Luna was quickly becoming overwhelmed by the video Rebecca and Shaun had sent and those who were working with her in the pit could tell it disturbed her. Luna like Desmond had come from a long line of Assassins, and she also had a high concentration of D.N.A. from those who came before. She, like Desmond, had developed extraordinary skills while inside the Animus and now she knew they had to stop Abstergo once and for all. Now that the Templar's had Desmond's D.N.A. they could learn a library full of the brotherhood's secrets.

Luna shut her laptop and paced in her office at the center of the pit, one of the brotherhood's few hidden command centers. They had them scattered across the globe, and Luna just happened to be in New York not far from Abstergo's officd. She knew that Desmond met his end not far from where she sat now and it pained her to know that he died to save them all, and now his remains were being used by the Templars. She had talked to Rebecca, Shaun and even William personally after the events of December 21,2012. She knew they could not save him, that they had to leave or else they would have all perished with him, but part of her was still angry at them for leaving him like that. She walked over to her desk, picking up a large coffee mug and threw it across her office, hitting a large picture on her back wall.

The glass exploded, sending a million needles of glass falling like rain in a storm. She turned and blocked her face with her arm, but a large splinter of glass still had hit her on the cheek, leaving a long line of blood in its wake. Her office was surrounded by glass on three sides, and she knew it wouldn't be long until someone came to check on her. Just then her office door flew open and an older man, in his late 60's opened the door.

"Luna, what happened are you alright?"

"No, but I will be." She then turned to face him and he saw the blood now dripping down her cheek.

"No, your not, let's get that cut looked at." He saw the mess on the floor and knew she had watched the video from Abstergo. He had seen it as well and he felt like doing the same thing, it just seemed that his daughter got to it first. He watched as she walked past him and down the hall, not even looking back to him. He was afraid that he had pushed her too far, and now she would never look at her father the same again. Luna made her way down to the medic and had her cheek looked at and cleaned. Just then Carlo came in and looked her over, shaking his head. Carlo was her father's second in command so to speak. William ran the brotherhood, but each command center had a chain of command. Carlo outranked her, but they acted as if they were equals, even with a strained relationship.

"I saw it too."

"Carlo, how, I mean. How the hell did Abstergo get there so fast?"

"I don't know, but there is something I want you to see." The medic finished putting some antibiotic cream on her cheek and nodded that it was alright for her to leave. She followed Carlo down to a lower central room, down into the archives that had somehow survived the purge. He led her down a hall into one of the most secure vaults. Carlo headed over security and she knew that only a handful of people had clearance to go into this vault. He opened the door and motioned for Luna to lead the way. She stepped into the room and was immediately in awe. The room was dark, no lights on, but a warm golden glow was emanating from the center of the room. Carlo stood beside her now, the door shut behind them, making the glow even more impressive.

"That's new." She looked to Carlo who took a step forward. The room of the vault was a 30 foot cube. Three floors of their most precious artifacts in this concrete room. Luna stayed close behind him, her foot falls in perfect time with his. As they got to the center of the room the source was clear. It was an apple of Eden, placed in a glass box on a pedestal. The apple had never shown any indication of working for them, but they locked it away anyways, better safe than sorry. Now it seemed that the apple was ready to show its true potential. Carlo took a step close, but now the light changed, it became bright white and radiated even stronger. The room was lit up too bright now and Luna tackled Carlo, wrapping her arms around his head and hers to try to shield them from the light. A loud squeal came, then silence. After a moment Luna and Carlo both slowly looked up and seen the light had dimmed back down to the golden hue. The 3 inch thick glass casket that held the apple had split in half but that was not the astonishing part. Hovering above the apple now was a figure, a man.

"Jupiter." Luna's voice came out as a whisper. She had seen images of him before, he had warned her just hours before Desmond's death about Juno. Luna rose to her feet as Carlo tugged at her arm. The glowing man spoke now, and Carlo seemed to be in a trance.

"Luna, Juno tricked Desmond, and now she is free from her imprisonment."

"I know, but it was too late, I could not stop it. He sacrificed his life for this world. I will do the same to stop Juno."

"I can offer you help, but I need you to touch the apple first." Luna took a step back.

"How do I know you aren't tricking me, that you aren't trying to join Juno here."

"You have to trust me."

"How can you help us against her?"

"I can bring you help, but we need your help to do so."

"We, who is we?"

"Minerva and myself. We are using the last of our power reserves to try to stop this, but we can't wait long. Please, trust us so that we may help you stop Juno. We will figure out a way to put her back in her penitentiary, but we cannot do that until you can take her power from her."

"How do I do that?!" She was shouting now at the man, wanting him to explain, but all he could do was point to the apple.

"Hurry." Luna took a step forward, pushing half of the glass case aside, letting gravity slam it against the floor. She then put her hand on the apple. She felt a searing pain in her left hand and pulled away, she looked at her palm and saw the designs from the apple burning across her flesh. Soon the squealing started again, this time getting louder to where Luna thought her eardrums would burst. She fell to her knees, this time Carlo coming from his trance to cover her body with his. The room shook and the light felt like it was burning through their eye lids as they waited. As the seconds passed Luna began to believe she and Carlo would die in this room, and now she suddenly felt guilty for giving the Italian man such a hard time.

He had risen through the ranks quickly, but for good reason. He was gifted, a direct descendant of Ezio some say. She knew her father put him in charge because of his skills, but still felt jilted because of it. Now as she laid here next to him, it all seemed so trivial. Soon the room went black and she moved around. Carlo and her both climbed to their feet, but now they were 15 feet from any wall and in complete darkness. Luna was then happy to pull her cell phone from her pocket and hit a button, emitting a small glow to light the way back to the door and light switch. Just as Luna turned a face stared back at her, causing her to jump and drop her phone.

"Carlo, why the hell did you scare me like that?" She dropped to her knees, her hands searching the floor for her phone, but it landed on a large foot, and she pulled back. Carlo was a small man, no taller than her, and that foot, had to belong to someone at least 6 ft. tall. Then it hit her, the face wasn't Carlo's.

Luna scooted back and heard Carlo speak, he was about 4 feet to her left, not directly in front of her.

"Luna, why are you holding a blade to my side? I have no idea what scared you but I'm over here."

"Carlo, that's not me." He could tell her voice was to his right, the blade pressed into his left side. He knew no one else was in this room when he came down, and now he struggled to figure out what was happening. Luna spoke as her hands slid across the floor back towards the foot.

"Are you here to help us? Jupiter told me he was sending help." She had no clue if they spoke English or not, but she was trying. Just then she felt a hand and froze. This large hand took hers and turned it over, placing her phone back in it. She could feel the calluses on the fingers sticking out from a leather glove and she felt her heart racing.

" A spirit came to me again, asking me to follow her to this distant land. I am here to help you." The voice was inches away from her, she could feel his breath as he spoke his articulated English. She could smell pine and sap on him. She turned her phone around and hit the button, illuminating the caramel skin and ebony eyes looking back at her. She got lost in his kind eyes for a moment, but soon his attention turned to her phone and he looked confused and scared.
