Assassin's Creed: Revolution

by Alois H

1896. Spain, deprived of her vast empire, was holding on to what little colonies they have left. Seeing the success of there co-colonies and feeling the starvation of freedom, the Filipinos have an idea for a revolution of there own. I have sworn to help them. To protect them. And protect them I will. I am Antonio Lawin. I am an Assassin.

As the sun began to rise, a carriage arrived at the remote province of Dapitan. "Do you know where the Doctor lives?"PíoValenzuela asked the first passerby he saw.

Skeptical, the man asked him "Why?", to which Valenzuela gestured to his blind companion. Now confident, the man pointed to his house.

"Forgive me if the house isn't very hospitable, but I wasn't really expecting a visit today," Jose Rizal said as he served the man and his companion a bowl ofMunggo.

"It's quite alright, sir," Valenzuela said, handing Rizal a copy of El Filibusterismo. "I suppose you know our real reason for beinghere?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Rizal said as he accepted.

"You know that your support is very important to our cause."

"No," Rizal said coldly.

"Please, sir! Our people-the Filipinos are looking up to Simoun-to you!" Valenzuela begged him.

"No, I will not support the revolution. (1)Hindi pa handa ang bayan, ikapapahamak lang natin ang isang rebolusyon."

"But in your writings-"

"Simoun has failed. What can you not get about that?" Rizal said. "If you want you're revolution, have it. But I'll warn you that a revolution will do us no good. You will leave tomorrow, and you will leave without my support."

"Then we have placed our fates in the hands of the wrong person," Valenzuela said. "But we will still welcome you with open hands, doctor."

"I've been told the shipments will arrive in a week," a Spanish soldier scouting the woods said to his companion, unaware abouta man in the shadows.

"Si.That's why we've been sent to protect it from the assassins," another one said.

This is the time Antonio decided to show himself. Descending from the trees, the young assassin sprang his blade and

tried to tackle one of the soldiers, but missed.

"Bastardo!" one of the guards said as they drew their swords. "Quick, kill him!"

"Tangina..."Antonio said, quickly jumping to his feet and drew his bolo.

Antonio lunged forward to the nearest soldier, slashing. The soldier blocked with, but the sheer force of the Assassin's swing is enough to knock the sword off of his hand. The other soldier tried to intervene, but was too late as his companion was already bleeding in the floor. Antonio then turned to him, during the moment in which horror overcame the soldier, he disarmed him and plunge his hidden blade on the soldier's neck.

"(2)Sumalangit nawa," Antonio said as he took the clothes of one of the soldiers and dragged both to the bushes.

"Supremo," Antonio said as he entered aKuboin the woods.

"Ah, Antonio!" AndresBonifacio, the leader of the Katipunan and a Master Assassin, welcomed his young apprentice. "Tell me you're mission went well,"

"After a minor setback, it did. The artifact will arrive in a week," he said. "I've taken these uniforms to infiltrate them, and I'd really appreciate a companion."

"I'll come with you, kid. This mission will be dangerous, and you're my apprentice."

"Thank you, sir..."
