I know the game isn't out yet, but I couldn't help myself. I love all the AC games, and I'm mega excited about ACIV too! I hope this is enjoyed, and I hope folks are willing to go through a journey. I know this won't be exact, but I will try to make Edward as close to the descriptions as possible. When the game actually comes out, its going to be fun seeing how much I got him right.
Note: I know the main character is missing a name, but its apart of the plot to the story. THANKIES!
INTRO
Of course when I got the game, I was a tad skeptical about how it was going to be. Sure, playing a pirate would be so much better than playing any other character I could think of. I had played all the other AC games, but this one was the one that had called to me the most. I had been so excited…but skeptical…of course.
When I came back to my apartment I practically ripped the plastic from the box that held the Xbox game. I was lucky too, for I had gotten this a few months earlier than its actual release date. Lucky me. But, I am still very skeptical. I didn't want to fall for a character that never existed. Sure, I had fantasies about previous characters, but never like this. This particular game brought the 'ol sense of Pirates Of The Caribbean back to my mind set, so of course, when a random stranger just happened to hand me a closed version of this game, I had to take it! But again, I am skeptical. It could be a bug to plague my Xbox….or….it could be the game.
In opening the pesky box, I found the cover to the clean CD to be blank. No pictures of Edward or his dazzling ships. Nothing. Just a silver CD and the box that went with it.
"He jooped me!" I couldn't help the anger coming in now. How was I supposed to play this game? It wasn't the game at all, "I should have figured."
In a hot second, I had balled the plastic in the pit of my hand, tossing it and the box with the CD toward my trash near the door. It didn't go in.
A shrug came to my shoulders, "Oh well. Its crap anyway."
*Phone rings* I took that as an opportunity to vent about the disappointment. Punching the 'answer' button had already made me feel a little better.
"What?" I answer kind-of rudely. I decided to take the phone and my body out of my bed room to finish this one call. But before I got out the door, a nice kick to the box with the CD did me some good. It felt great actually.

Later that night, while I was snuggled in my crappy bed, I kept hearing flickers of lightning coming from outside. The newly formed storm shook my ceiling as if it could move it right off my section of this apartment. It was enough to scare me, but the next thing that happened was even scarier.
My TV, for some strange reason started to flicker along with the lightning. Not just turn on and off, which was already weird, but when it turned on, the poltergeist seemed to happen. The screen was filled with the salt and pepper scattering lights every time it cut on. That was enough to scare the complete wits out of me.
I jumped out of that bed as soon as I saw the strange activities. I slid down to the TV, punching the off button as many times as I could. No real use to that action came about! It continued to do its creepy 'on and off' sequence.
"What the hell is wrong with this thing?!" I murmured roughly.
Now, the flickering became constant, going crazy with the lights as soon as I came near it. It was almost as dizzying as a rave party with the bouncing strobe lights. It drove me nuts then, and it was driving me nuts now.
"I can't handle this!"
"Put in the CD"
My mind did flips from the deep voice now circling the air. I almost passed out. "What?" I shook.
"Put the CD into the device"
The voice rang on in the most terrifying way.
"What the hell is this!" I panicked, looking up at the ceiling like a complete buffoon. "Who are you!" I shouted out upward, feeling even crazier.
"Just put the disk in"
I looked over toward my trashcan, still shaking a bit. The game's box was laying against the carpet quite pathetically if I could say, but I crawled over to it none-the-less, grabbing it as fast as I could. I popped the blank CD out its box and crawled back toward my TV and Xbox.
"Now put the CD in"
I nodded to the scary voice, hands rattling like crazy, and powered on my Xbox. The screen stayed the peppered mess that flickered while I did that. The little door slid open from the game system, allowing me to place the CD inside like I was told. Once that was done, it slid the disk inside, having the power button flash in a green light in readings. After that, I just sat there, scared out my mind, and bewildered. I looked up to the ceiling again, almost ready to faint again. My mouth opened, almost hesitant to ask out.
"Umm…" I stumbled, feeling extremely silly, "Now what?" But I got no answer from the deep voice. All that responded was the ceased flickering of the static screen. It was now stuck there in dancing pepper and salt light. "What the hell it going on?" I screamed in my head. The sound of my pounding heart echoed in my ears, literally. Everything, all of me was rattling like crazy.
In a few short seconds, the static screen began to do something else, grabbing my attention. It cut from static to blank and black screen. Static again, then the black screen turned navy blue. Static, then blue with tiny white dots scattered. Static then blue screen, white dots and something that looked like the ocean.
It did this several times until the picture became clear. Night sky, ocean with its waves crashing against itself, and a dock. Every time the static left, the picture became prettier and prettier, shocking my skeptical mind out the sky.
It was so pretty, almost like a post-card from some vacation spot. I was fascinated now, inching my head and eyes closer to the TV screen.
The next thing, however, I couldn't comprehend or stop.
The cutting from static to post-card scene immediately came to a halt, stopping on the beach picture. My brow raised high from the new confusion. My eyes slowly wondered up to the ceiling, "The beach!?" I questioned out loudly to the missing voice who guided me.
"No!" A new voice exclaimed from the TV. My eyes dropped back down the screen, only making me lose my breath and speed my heart in anxiety and panic. I inhaled fast, making the sound turn into a gasp.
Wha-what the hell is going on?" I could only whimper in new fear.
Before me, staring me down from the view of the beach was Assassin's Creed IV main character, Edward. A glint of danger in his eyes, and a vengeful look over all, staring at me.
I didn't breathe…..
"GET IN HERE!" He roared, extending a hand from his world out and into mine. One long hand reached from the TV screen and gripped the collars of my pajama shirt. I flinched, stretching as soon as his forceful hand touched me. Before I knew it, I was being yanked into the screen of my TV, running right through as if there were no glass or wires running through it.
I didn't feel them at all either.
A/N: If the intro is too fast, I am sooooo sorry. Just wanted to get it done. Anyway, tell me what you think so far! And I hope its liked.
