"Time to awaken, it's another beautiful day, it is time to awaken it is another beautiful day" a voice said
"I'm up, I'm up, I'm up" Nagisa said as he got out of the sterile white bed and looked around the dab s grey room which had walls of brushed steel, the only light was coming from a large LCD screen which showed a white pattern on a cyan background. He sighed as he got changed into grey pants and a white hooding with cyan markings. Soon the door opened and Nagisa was guided by pale light down the corridor as he saw more and more young men and woman walked out of the doors, he sighed and looked up at a camera. He was a slave to Abstergo and was being used for them to dominate the world. He had heard that the Templars and Abstergo had been defeated several times in recent years at the hands of the Assassins, but also Abstergo had been trying to get a hand up on the assassins, and to do that they had kidnapped several dozen teenagers and young adults to try and find what they were looking for, Nagisa didn't know what it was but they were using genetic memories from those they had defeated. He had visited several historical periods in the past from the Wild West, the Spanish Conquistadors, Medieval Scotland, New Orleans during the prohibition, Puritan London, Mongolia during the time of Genghis Khan and the Vietnam War. One part he actually wanted to look at was Feudal Japan; hoping he would talk in the shoes of his ancestors through the Animus. Suddenly he entered a large room.
The room was the cafeteria where the members of Abstergo would come to eat, the room was multi-levelled with the Abstergo workers on the top levels and the Animus users were on the lower levels. Nagisa walked over and picked up a tray, walking over to a line; his tray was then filled with scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon. A small cup of coffee was included with breakfast. He saw a group he was friendly with and sat down with them
"I'm serious, I was at the hot gates of Greece and about to kill Xerxes when they pull me out" Fuwa a girl with pink eyes and a purple bob said
"You get Sparta and I get the Bohr War" Maehara said
"Lucky, I got Siam" Yada said as Nagisa sat down next to him "What was your last session?" she asked eating some blueberry porridge
"It was weird, I was in the American Civil War before I was flashing back to the American Revolutionary war as that guy they called Connor" Nagisa said
"Impossible" Kanzaki said
"Hurry up, you need to be in the Animus in twenty minutes" a guard said
"Once you are been placed in your machine your mission will begin, you may not know when and where you have been assigned" a scientist said
"Why the random location?" Murmatsu asked
"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it has something to do with what we're looking for" Nagisa said
"I just hope we don't get sick like that other guy" Yada said
"You mean Subject 13-Delta Alpha?" Fuwa asked
"Yeah" Yada said
"Guys, I think we have a bigger concern" Maehara said
"What?" the group asked
"Rumours are we're about to get an upgrade to the Animus" he said going back to his breakfast.
Soon Nagisa was at his Animus station
"Welcome to today's session Subject 17 Sigma Tau" a scientist said as he walked over. Nagisa knew this wasn't the regular scientist who monitored his entrance into the Animus, this one was an older Italian gentleman
"Who are you?" Nagisa asked
"I am Doctor Giovanni Moretti" the man said "And you are Subject 17 Sigma Tau aka Nagisa Shiota"
"How did you know that?" Nagisa asked
"niente è vero, tutto è permesso" Dr Moretti said smiling.
"What?" Nagisa asked as the Animus he was on activated
"Ah sí, here we go booting up the sequence for today in 3...2...1 Bueno Fortuna" Dr Moretti said
Nagisa was in the Animus loading screen for exactly a minute when the new world materialised. He was in a shock. Because he was standing before a Daimyo's palace wearing a white robe, the assassin had dark blue hair and eyes like that of the sky. If Nagisa focused he noticed this assassin looked like a older version of himself.
"Daichi" a voice said making the assassin turn
"Watashi!" the assassin identified as Daichi said hugging Watashi. "My friend it has been far too long" Daichi said as Nagisa got a piece of data for the Assassin Daichi Ushioda
"It was a shame to hear about your cousin and those other Ronin" Watashi said as Nagisa saw a file on the 47 Ronin
"I agree, a shame but a somewhat noble cause" Daichi said walking through town, only to see a woman in a blue silk yukata smile at him
"I'd be wary of her brother" Watashi said
"Why is that?" Daichi asked
"She's an Oiran" Watashi said "a courtesan"
"I know what she is Watashi" Daichi laughed "I am not completely stupid"
"But she is beautiful, I will not argue you on that my friend"
"Truthfully; but who is she?" Daichi asked
"I think you shouldn't dwell deeper into her' Watashi said
"Why not?" Daichi asked
"She is said to be exclusively for one Admiral Archibald Braddock of her majesty's royal navy" Watashi said "And he's also a Templar"
"I she a major concern?" Daichi asked
"Not yet, our major deal is one Raijin Yamishiro, he is the head of the Templars in the region and Admiral Braddock is one of his guest from England" Watashi said
"So what is our next move?" Daichi asked as the pair waded through a crowd while watching a dancing trope.
"He's too well guarded, but I have heard that a lieutenant of his has a little vice, namely that he has been seen at a certain yukaku and takes a couple of girls to be with him every night, now I know how you can get in there since that girl works at the yukaku he frequents" Watashi said
"Does the target have a name?" Daichi asked
"Hoshimitsu" Watashi said
"Okay, I'll go tonight" Daichi said as he walked away from Watashi who continued the way he was going.
That night Daich was out the yukaku that Hoshimitsu was mostly seen at. And right on cue a portly samurai with a flask of sake came walking around with two beautiful women in lose kimonos. They were giggling and having a good time. Daichi needed to get in there so he headed for the entrance. Luckily the only weapon he had on him was the hidden blade; another thing was that he hoped ther girl blue yukata was free so he could visit her. Upon walking into the kukeku he bowed to the madam and walked over to the desk.
"I wish to been entertained" Daichi said
"Anyone in particular?" the madam asked
"Yes, a girl who wears a blue yukata please" Daichi said
"Ah you mean Kiyomi?" the madam asked
"Yes" Daichi said.
"Very well" the madam said as she went to gather Kiyomi. Daichi waited for awhile, while doing so Hoshimitsu walked past
"Evening" Daichi said
"Hello" Hoshimitsu said to his unknown executioner. Soon a beautiful woman with medium brown hair that went down to her hips, amethyst eyes, a generous bust and a beauty mark appeared, it was the same girl he saw earlier
"Hello" she said in a gentle voice that sounded like a flowing river "I am Kiyomi, are you the one who asked for me on this night?" she asked
"I am" Diachi said as he escorted her to a private room. "You are lovelier than I could ever imagine" Daichi said kissing her softly while removing the obi she had on allowing her yukata to open revealing her figure underneath. As Daichi removed her yukata from her upper body the world started to fade away until Nagisa opened his eyes and a screen retracted.
Nagisa rubbed his eyes and sighed as he sat up.
"Here you go" a kindly voice said
"Thanks Miss Yukimura" Nagisa said as he took some pills and a glass of water.
"Let's see, obtaining the records for your assassin, oh man looks like I stopped before the first assassination; I'll put in a continuation notice of this assassin so you can research him more" Yukimura said taking notes down on a tablet.
"Why are we even researching these things?" Nagisa asked downing the water
"The latest Abstergo Interactive Entertainment project: The Nexus Legacy" Yukimura said taking the glass. "Never mind that rest up for an hour and then its lunchtime" she said
"Thanks," Nagisa said "Oh and by the way; I would suggest a new shirt"
"Oh come on! You said this was the least horrible when I was your teacher" Yukimura said grumpily
"Sorry miss" Nagisa chuckled as he was escorted back to his quarters for a break. Once Nagisa was gone Moretti came over
"This is a dangerous gambit Giovanni" Yukimura said
"I agree Aguri, but it must be done; if we ever want to get them out of here; Nagisa must endure the bleeding effect" Moretti said
"I just hope you are right, because if not Otso Berg is going to have words with us, and don't get me started on De Costa" Aguri said
"I won't, don't worry I am right" Moretti said as he walked off.
Once Nagisa was back on his bed, he's eyes drifted close. Soon he was dreaming; first of an assassin from the Crusades about to leap into a large hay bale, next it was an Italian during the renaissance surrounded but courtesans, then it changed to an assassin on a pirate ship, next it was the assassin he was just with and the woman he visited next to him wearing assassin robes. Nagisa was confused until a beeping was heard
"Subject 17 Sigma Tau, it's time for lunch" a guard said
"Thanks" Nagisa shouted back grabbing the white hoodie.
"Are you okay?" the guard asked as Nagisa exited his room.
"Weird nightmares" Nagisa smiled as he walked off while combing his hair back, The guard was frowning before moving onto the next door and slamming his fist on it and waking them up
"So where was everyone this time?" Maeahar asked biting into the burger he had
"I was on a Spanish galleon during the attack by the English" Fuwa said
"I was with Hannibal" Muramatsu said
"The Romance of the three kingdoms" Kanzaki said
"I got the British expedition to India" Fuwa said
"It was strange, I was an Oiran and I was about to sleep with a samurai" Yada said making Nagisa freeze with a bit of Udon out of his mouth. 'Yada was viewing Kiyomi's memories while I was looking at Daichi'
"You okay bro?" Maehara asked
"Um...not quite" Nagisa said
"Why?" Fuwa asked
"I was the samurai from Yada's session" Nagisa said
"Come again" Yada said blushing
"Yeah" Nagisa said
"Shared ancestry if that is true. But it would have been a long time ago so you twoi could still date each other and have no genetic malformations" Maehara said
"MAEHARA!" Yada shouted making the group laughed as the bell went
"Back to work" Nagisa said as they got up
"Okay time to continue where you left off" Aguri said
"Okay, can you tell me which memory Yada is viewing?"
"Yada, Oh! you mean Subject 21 Epsilon Vega? She was looking at the female assassin Kiyomi, an Oiran who joined the brotherhood. Why do you ask?" Aguri said
"I was wondering about overlap" Nagisa said
"There could be some overlap, but not much. I'll research it for you while you're in session" Aguri said
"Thanks" Nagisa said as the Animus activated and he was back in as Daichi Ushioda.
G'day guys Grizz here with something I've been wanting to do since the original Crossover files and here it is, now the information I have on the Oiran is just what I read from Wikipedia and the 5 Ronins graphic novel from Marvel, so not much. Also you can see other assassins hinted through out the chapter. Don't worry they'll get a lot more of the plot later
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
