Kill the True Assassins
A/N: I just wanted to start this fanfic crossover just cause it crossed my mind. Hope it isn't too bad (It will be bad just cause I hoped it won't).
Disclaimer: I don't own Akame ga Kiru or Assassin's Creed. Seriously, what made you think I did?
"While men of courage write history of this day, the future of our land depends on those who are truly free."
Rockport, Massachusetts, 1783
"Why have you called me here commander Washington?" Connor asked as he walked towards the soon-to-be president of the United States. The man looked towards him and held out a sphere that had many intricate designs and was emanating a golden light.
"I've had recurring nightmares ever since I took this… thing off an officer in Yorkton." Connor then realized that the very thing Washington was holding was an apple. But not just any apple, but a dangerous apple known as "The Apple of Eden" or "Eden's Forbidden Apple of Knowledge".
"You must give that to me now!" Connor yelled as he held out a hand so he could dispose of the apple. The commander held it back reluctantly.
"Hm, what does it do though?" Washington asked as the apple began to glow. Connor shook his head before responding.
"That doesn't matter, my point is that I have to destroy it before it destroys us!" Connor stated as he tried to grab the apple but only touched it. That would've been the only case had the apple not detected his DNA before a flash of glowing light froze the two in place.
"What's happening!?" George asked as many symbols made of light flashed around them along with equations and numbers. Connor looked on in horror as to what was to come until he felt himself go unconscious.
Somewhere, Time Unknown
"Urgh…" Connor groaned as he clutched his head while standing himself up. Before him he saw a face that was all too familiar to him.
"You again?" Connor asked as he looked up to a floating being known as "Juno", or rather, a first civilization member or one of "Those Who Came Before".
"I'm afraid that I must ask you for assistance once again, assassi-"
"I followed exactly what you said last time and it ended up with the Continental army winning, but my people left the very land they were sworn to protect. So if you think you can ask me for help again, then you can go ahead and ask someone else!" Connor said as he crossed his arms. He still felt a bit of remorse in helping the Continental army since they did kick his people out of the land they lived in.
"But is it not an assassin's duty to help those who cannot help themselves?" Juno asked.
"If the person asking hadn't done something to make me regret a lot of things, then yes." Connor retorted while turning around, causing Juno to sigh.
"Then at least listen to what I have to say." Juno said before Connor groaned and turned back to Juno.
"Let's hear it."
"I will be putting you into a new land in which everything will be tougher, dangerous, and deadly all the more than what you've faced so far." Juno said while Connor's face went from angered to serious (without that much anger).
"That doesn't sound very threatening to me." Connor shrugged.
"You'll see once you get there." Juno said before a hologram began to form. The symbol looked like an owl with red eyes that was reaching downwards within what looked like a yellow circle.
"Find this symbol just as I directed you to the Assassins, and seek their help." Juno said before Connor began to slowly feel dizzy. He started to stumble where he stood until he heard Juno's voice.
"Protect this new land as if it were your own, and succeed where you have seemingly failed in this world." She said before Connor fully lost consciousness.
Somewhere, Time Unknown
"What the hell?" Connor asked as he clutched his ever-hurting head as his eyes fluttered open. He was greeted by a wonderful blue sky with only some clouds while a nice breeze blew past. He enjoyed the change in weather from his homestead but it was cut short when he heard a massive roar.
"..." Connor said as he stood himself up and was greeted by the sight of a massive reptile that looked as if it were made of rock. Connor pulled out his tomahawk and saw how the beast looked straight at him even though it was as tall as a building.
"I'm not playing around now." Connor said as he threw a rope dart at the beast's face. The beast let it fly past itself, but Connor pulled the rope to his left and saw how the rope wrapped around the neck of the gigantic creature. When he felt how the rope was taut, Connor used about half his strength to pull the beast down and watched from over his shoulder as it fell down. Once on the ground, it roared as if crying for Connor to release him.
"I've fought harder things than you." Connor said as he pointed one of his double barrel flintlocks at the beast before pulling the trigger and watched as the beast roared from the pain before going limp but still alive.
"Still alive huh?" Connor asked before he pulled the trigger again and watched silently as the creature's eyes lost its light. He holstered his pistol and stood over his kill until he heard someone yelling.
"Help!" Connor's eyes widened as he ran through the surrounding forest of the fields until he came upon a woman whose clothes were somewhat shredded apart, but more so near her breasts and her buttocks. She was being held by about two men, while eight others stood around as if watching or waiting.
"Shut up ya dumb bitch!" One of the men yelled before backhanding her in the face while taking out a knife.
"Now you're gonna stay quiet and be a good slut while me and my friends here help you with your problems." Connor watched in anger as he saw how the woman was crying to which he hid behind a bush and activated his hidden blades. He went behind two men who were standing in front of a bush and were just out of earshot before quickly standing up. Just as they sensed his presence, he shoved both hidden blades into each of their necks before getting down into the bush again.
"Yeah that's right, stay quiet." Connor heard until he saw the man take off his trousers and pull out his manhood. Connor quickened his work as he running assassinated another two bandits, leaving only six of the men left, another if you included the woman. The remaining bandits turned around at hearing the assassinations.
"Kill him!" The pantsless bandit yelled as he held up his knife. His other buddies pulled out different weapons while him and the other two were still by the woman.
Two bandits made the mistake of attacking Connor at the same time, causing him to duck under a sword swing. The other bandit backed away a bit, but just enough for Connor to use his tomahawk to pull the bandit into his friend's sword. While the other bandit was surprised that he had just inadvertently killed his friend, Connor kicked the bandit's right leg. He took a knee, while Connor stuck the flintlock to his head and pulled the trigger. He turned to the remaining four while reloading his flintlock.
"So… you gonna get the hell outta here, or do I have to kill you all to for something as futile as this?" Connor asked as he finished the reload and aimed his dual double-barrel flintlocks at each of the bandits while the woman they were holding captive was already shaking in fear.
"Fine, you can have the bitch." The one without pants said as he brutally shoved the woman towards Connor. He turned to walk away with his buddies, but he heard a click before turning around to see Connor still had his flintlocks trained on them while the half-naked woman was cowering behind him.
"What the hell do you think you're do-!?" The bandit was cut off as Connor pulled the triggers on each pistol twice and watched as his flintlocks flashed while the bandits all fell one by one, with the woman watching as their heads gained a hole in their heads. Connor holstered his flintlocks as the bandits all slumped to the ground before he turned to her. She cowered when she tried to look at his face, only to see it shadowed over by his eagle beak hood.
"You got a place to go?" Connor asked the woman who nodded.
"Good." Connor said before he slumped to the floor with the woman holding onto him, and unknowingly, his face was buried in her bosom, causing the woman to blush while she tried to find the means to transport her savior.
Somewhere, Time Unknown
'Ugh, I feel like I got shot by a watchtower scout.' Connor asked himself as he clutched his head. He sat himself up and looked around to find an empty wooden chair next to his head while he also saw how the room he was in looked a bit modern (meaning like 21st century in contrast to the 18th century style Connor was used to). He got up and found that he was shirtless while he was still wearing his pants. His assassin robes and weapons were hung up and neatly organized on the wall.
"Where am I?" Connor asked himself as he began to put on his assassin gear. He proceeded to pull up his boots before walking out the door of his room. He looked down the hall to see a somewhat old facade with the wallpaper beginning to peel. Continuing down the hallway, he reached a set of stairs and proceeded to walk down them, and when he was past the second floor, he was greeted by a sight that looked a bit like the "Mile's End" run by Oliver on the Davenport homestead.
"Ah, your savior is awake dear." The man behind the bar said as he waved to Connor who had his hood down. He continued down the stairs before taking a seat on one of the stools. The man set down a pint glass and grabbed a bottle before popping it open and poured a bit of the liquid into Connor's glass. The assassin raised it before taking a big gulp before slamming the cup on the counter.
"I have to thank you for what you did before." The bartender said as Connor raised an eyebrow.
"What? Saving that one girl? Its fine, I'd save anyone I could." Connor stated as someone else came into view through a door behind the bar. The woman that came into view, revealing a woman that had to be at least twenty, wearing a nice light blue dress with a white sweater. Her hair was brown while her eyes were a color of sea blue, reminding Connor of the Atlantic Ocean he had sailed on many times before.
"Ah, there she is." The bartender said as he held out a hand which Connor shook. "My name's Baten." He then pointed towards the girl that had caught Connor's eye at the moment. "And that's my daughter, Fiera."
"Thanks for what you did back there." Fiera said as she held out her hand which Connor also shook.
"Its alright, you don't have to thank me for doing a good deed that anyone would do." Connor said as the two raised their eyebrows at him. "What?"
"Um, where did you say you were from again?" Baten asked as Connor also raised an eyebrow.
"I'm from America." Connor answered causing the two to keep their eyebrows raised.
"Um, I'm afraid that don't exist here." Baten responded with an obvious country accent. Connor quickly stood up while Fiera and her father watched as he opened the door. He was met by the look of a poor village, with beggars sitting up against walls with their hands out in an attempt to be given enough money for a dinner that would barely keep them alive.
'What the hell happened here?' Connor asked himself as a man walked up to the inn. He stopped in front of Connor with an angered face while Connor looked at him with a face that showed no emotion to the man's reactions.
"Excuse me, but is Baten in there?" The man asked as Connor looked back inside to see Baten and Fiera begin to duck down behind the bar. Connor then turned back to the man to see some others also appear.
"No, now get the hell out." Connor stated as he attempted to slam the door. The man just barely caught it, and pulled out a knife.
"You better listen 'ere ki-." The man was cut off as Connor used a tiny bit more strength, and kept his hand on it as he slammed the door, crushing the man's fingers in the process. He dropped the knife, but Connor easily caught it before repeatedly stabbing the man's neck. His friends watched in horror as their buddy was easily mutilated by the seemingly innocent young-adult. Connor pulled up his assassin hood and pulled out his tomahawk along with the knife from his hidden blades.
"Get him!" One of the remaining bandits yelled as he raised a sword and charged at Connor. Now fully outside, the onlookers watched as Connor sidestepped the downwards sword swing before stabbing his knife into the front of the man's throat. Not wasting any time, he removed the knife before bringing the man down completely by slamming his tomahawk into the back of his neck, only centimeters away from being fully decapitated.
"You fuck!" Another one of the bandits yelled before him and another bandit charged as well. Connor ducked a sword swing and caught the wrist of the offender. He elbowed the bandit in the face before ducking and let the other bandit cut off his friend's head. Connor finished off the other bandit by sweeping his legs out from under him, and while on the ground, he slammed his tomahawk into their right shoulder.
"Anyone else!?" Connor yelled as the other bandits cowered before dropping their weapons and running away. He was about to go back into the inn until he saw a woman with orange hair appear along with a small dog that Connor thought looked really ugly.
"A disturber of the peace? Let's get him!" The woman yelled as Connor watched with an eyebrow raised as the dog began to transform. "Koro, number 1 transformation!" The dog had completed its transformation, but he watched with widened eyes (his eyebrow still raised) as the dog clamped down the orange-haired woman's arm.
'Seriously, what the fuck is going on here!?' Connor asked himself as the dog released his fangs from the woman's arm, but he was surprised to find that her arm had been replaced with a massive flail that seemed to be attached by wire.
"Justice will be served!" The woman exclaimed as the flail flew at Connor, who rolled out of the way and kept a face of unimpressed to see if he could get a rise out of the woman, which proved to be successful.
"Stop moving!" The woman yelled as she flung the flail at Connor once more, while Koro attempted to get the best of Connor. He played it smart, and ducked under the flail which the woman smirked in response, until she saw how the flail ended up hitting her "pet". Connor wasted no time, and threw down a smoke bomb before running away while the woman was distracted.
On the Other Side of Town, Time Unknown
"I hope… she's gone…" Connor said in between huffs. He had free-run all the way across town, causing him end up at the village limits. He looked in front of him to see what seemed like a bulletin board for the town. What really caught his eye however, was four wanted posters, each of them baring the very symbol he was tasked by Juno to find.
" 'Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame,' '100 Man-Slayer Bulat,' 'Najenda,' 'Sheele'. All members of a group called "Night Raid"." Connor said to himself as he read down each description of the four and took note of the really large bounty on their heads. There was only one piece of information he needed and saw a somewhat wealthy-looking man walking with a horse towards the village. He ran up, and pulled the man off the horse before quickly replacing the rider and whipped the reins to make the horse run forward.
'All have last been seen in the Capital.' Connor thought as he passed a sign that read 'The Capital' but the white arrow pointing forward was covered a bit by blood.
Time Skip: Two Days Later, The Capital
'So this is the Capital huh?' Connor asked as he got off his horse. He walked through the gates to be greeted by houses and shops on each side of the roads. At the end of the road, Connor looked in minor amusement as he saw the massive palace in the middle and at the top of the hill. What caught his eye however, were that the normal passerbies had gloomy expressions on.
'The town I passed on the way here said that the Capital was the greatest city of all time, so why the hell does it seem like England here?' Connor asked himself as he remembered his time of visiting his grandfather's grave in Wales while taking a quick tour through England.
"Huh?" Connor asked as he heard yelling and cries of pain from down the street. He speed-walked and came across a sense of horror he hadn't felt since his mother had died at the hands of both Charles Lee and George Washington. There before him, on a stage, was many crosses, with bloody men and woman missing different limbs and had tears streaming from their eyes.
'What… the… fuck?' Connor asked himself before putting on a serious expression and put his hood up. He free-ran up one of the buildings and had an overview of the multiple public executions. He pulled out a few fast poison darts before throwing one into each of the victim's bodies. He watched as they quickly spasmed just a second after the dart landed, before becoming completely limp, with their bodies suspended to the crosses while their eyes had lost all their light.
'No person ever deserves pain as badly as that.' Connor said as he heard rushing footsteps from the other road.
"Who killed the traitors!?" A guard with light armor asked as he questioned people within the streets before coming upon the crucifixions and saw how there were tiny darts on each of the bodies.
"Was it Night Raid!?" One of the guards asked as if he were a bit frightened. Connor hopped down and all the guards backed away as they saw Connor land with a small cloud of dust and other things fly up from his landing.
"You have the information I need." Connor said as he took out his tomahawk and knife, while the guards raised their swords.
"That must be him, get him you fools!" One more armored guard, presumably the leader, yelled as his group of guards reluctantly charged at Connor. They were fast and had numbers, but their training paled in comparison to Connor's. A guard swung his sword forward, but Connor narrowly dodged it as he ducked down before pulling the guard down with his tomahawk. While the guard was down, he kicked the back of his head before turning to face the two guards charging at him.
He sidestepped to dodge a thrust of a guard's sword and grabbed the guard's wrist before pulling hard and stabbing the blade into his ally. As the guard's hands were frozen due to the sword still being stuck in his stomach, Connor slammed his tomahawk into the still alive guard's head, before taking it out and finishing him with a stab in the forehead with his knife.
Sensing an attack coming, he held his tomahawk back in a throwing position, and smirked as he felt force hit the weapon. He brought the tomahawk back up along with the guard's sword, and elbowed him in the side. Connor then stabbed him in the side of the neck, before finishing the guard off by uppercutting with his right arm, bringing the tomahawk up and into the underside of the man's face.
"Now…" Connor said as he looked to the cowering leader of the guards and hoisted him up by the collar of his uniform. He took out a poster of 'Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame' and put it up to his face. "Where do I find her!?"
"I don't know, we're trying to find them too, but they attack at night and we don't know who their target is until they strike!" The leader responded with his hands up, and he began to cough due to lack of air.
"Thank you for the useful information." Connor said before using his other hand to slam his hidden blade into the guard's neck, causing blood to leak down the blade. After a few seconds, he took out the blade before dropping the body and saw how everyone was looking at him with either smiles or horror.
"Where did the others go?" Connor heard yelling from the street just past the building to his right and quickly fled the scene. But just before he turned the corner, he looked behind himself and saw how one of the guards had gotten a perfect view of his shadowed face and the menacing
hood that was doing its job at the moment.
"Find him! Come along Cedric." The leader yelled as he pulled on Cedric's arm to lead him towards the bodies.
"Sir, I think I just saw the killer." Cedric said as the leader stood up with a doubtful face on. He sighed before taking out a notepad and a pencil.
"Could you describe what he looks like?" The leader of the group of guards asked as Cedric nodded.
"His upper face was covered by shadow, and his hood had a beak as if it were an eagle." The guard leader narrowed his eyes.
"Stop joking you fuckhead and help us find a real killer!" The leader yelled as he quickly put back the pencil and paper.
"But sir I-" Cedric tried but was cut off mid sentence by his superior.
"No butts, maggot!" The leader said as he walked away to help investigate.
Another Part of the Capital, Time Unknown
'Close one, now I've gotta find a place to stay.' Connor thought to himself as he walked down the streets at night. Normally people in Boston and New York would walk down the streets at night without a care in the world, but here… they seemed scared.
'What is up with this place?' He asked as he came across another scene that made him cringe with disgust. Before him, was a woman being held by her neck, with an overly muscular looking man holding her with a massive blade protruding from the top of the arm not holding the woman. He also saw how there was a corpse missing its head with blood still spewing out on the ground.
"I'll let you go if you answer one question." The man said as he held the blade on his arm closer to the woman. She gulped before responding.
"What?" She asked while shaking in fear.
"What does it feel like to have your head leave your body?" The man asked before quickly swiping the blade, fully decapitating the woman. He dropped the body before turning to Connor and showed his face.
"I'm Zank and I'd like to be your executioner today!" The man yelled as a silver ball opened up to show a green colored eyeball on his forehead. Connor raised an eyebrow as he pulled out his sawtooth cutlass and the assassin tomahawk. But when Connor looked up, he found not Zank, but his mother.
"Mother?" Connor asked in his native language, but he was met with silence.
"Mother! Its me! Ratonhnhaké:ton!" He tried again but was again met with silence.
'Wait a minute…' Connor said before activating eagle vision and saw how his mother's form had changed to Zank and was highlighted a bright red. He charged at the disguised Zank who was a bit shocked at Connor's sudden attack, but charged back none the less.
"You are not my mother." Connor said as he swung his sword forward but Zank was able to block it with his katar like blades.
"How did you!?" Zank questioned until Connor began a relentless number of attacks, all of which at least scratched or even cut into Zank. The assassin noticed how the man's green eye was still open and realized that Zank could see everything he was going to do within only seconds of him planning on doing it. Because no one would be able to predict and block that amount of attacks without some form of secondary sight.
'So if he can see my movements, then its only fair that I play against that.' Connor thought as Zank pushed him back with his katars. He took out both his double-barrels and aimed them at Zank, but to the executioner's surprise, he then aimed the pistols with crossed arms, making it seem as if the aim would be thrown off greatly.
"Ha if you think that'll work.." Zank said as he saw the flintlocks fire, and used his katars to block two of the bullets, but then felt pain in his knees. He fell to the ground mid-charge and looked up to see Connor's face from under the shadow of his hood. The executioner saw a glint of light coming from the assassin's wrist that reflected the moonlight.
"Rest in peace." Connor said as he stabbed the executioner's neck with his hidden blade, fully ending him. Zank looked up at the sky with his last amount of strength as Connor walked away.
'I thank you, whoever you are, for making the voices stop.' Zank said to himself as he closed his eyes before passing on and joining those he had killed.
"He's over here!" A voice said. The owner of the voice and a certain red-eyed and black haired assassin appeared and looked over Zank's body.
"His teigu is still here… but why?" The brown-haired boy asked as he pulled off Zank's teigu. Unbeknownst to the two there was a figure watching from the rooftops.
"It doesn't matter Tatsumi, but let's just be glad that some person finally ended this guy." The black-haired girl said as the two walked away from the corpse of Zank.
"I don't know Akame, you think it might be a new killer around here?" Connor's eyes widened as he heard the name of 'Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame'. He began to tail them and due to his training as an assassin, he was able to mask his presence all while hiding in plain sight.
-End-
A/N: Wow, I think its weird how I like making Assassin's Creed crossovers. It's even weirder how I end up finding a way to make them work. Then again, I can't write good fanfics for my life. Anyways, next chapter I'll be getting into the boring parts of most fanfictions (at least for me) which is explanations. Kudos if you figure out the easter eggs/references (Hint: one's from a movie, the other is from a video game that isn't assassin's creed) in this chapter.
-Exno out!-
