Chapter 2. Photograph
Start of Ezio's POV,
I landed on my feet as Master Hand had dropped me. 'Where the actually hell am I?' I thought looking around a bit. I stood up feeling much more lean. I saw water to see that I'm an adult a 28 year old. I rubbed my facial hair. Master Hand seemed to be calling for someone. I seen a princess with a pink fluffyish dress and she was skipping.
?: Hello, Master Hand! Who is this?
Master: This Ezio Auditore. Ezio, this Princess Peach or Toadstool.
I: Hello, Peach. *gives her a friendly wave*
Peach: *waves back shyly* Why is he here?
Master: He is joining our crew aka competing in the Brawl.
I: I didn't agree to that! *glares at the floating hand*
Peach: *giggles* Nobody did, he just forced us to do this cause we are considered famous.
I: Famous? For what? *arches a brow confusedly*
Master: I didn't tell you that...Well...
Peach: Well, heroes like Mario and Sonic are famous by how many times they saved the day.
I: So, it's something like Hero work?
Master: Kinda, you'll learn about the others soon.
I: OTHERS!? *eyes widened*
Peach grabbed my hands and begins walking me out the room. I feel kinda stupid right now as we walked together. I stopped causing her to crash into my chest. I hear a familiar voice talking to two other voices.
Peach: Are you alright? *looks up at my hooded face*
I: Yes, I am fine. I'm just wondering where I will be staying at like which room? *looks down at her*
Peach: *smiles* Alright then!
We kept walking in till we reached a room with the Assassin's Creed logo. Peach kissed my nose before skipping off. I smiled before opening my room's door and closed it as soon as I entered. My room had everything that I wanted. It had family photos, my father's old equipment, my old blades, pouches, pictures of me, Altaïr, Connor, Edward and Desmond, and old clothing. I jumped on my king size bed laying there stretching out my arms, legs and body.
End of Ezio's POV and Outside the door,
Everyone except for Peach (who knew about him), Snake, Ike and Pit (who were still in Snake's room) are wondering whose the new smasher. Fortunately, Master Hand told them to wait in till the ball which was going to be tonight. Ezio heard voices, but ignored them before sleeping letting out soft snores. He tossed and turned in the bed before falling off the bed with a thud. He groaned softly holding his stomach. He heard people mumbling their concerns for him. He hugged himself for warmth thinking about the past.
With Snake, Ike and Pit,
Pit: Umm...Snake?
Snake: *looks up at him* What's up?
Pit: Can you...umm...never mind! *waves hands around*
Ike: He wants you to tell us more about Ezio.
Snake: Well, where do you want me to begin? *puts his book down*
Pit: Well, uh hmm...how long do you know him?
Snake: 15 years went by very fast. I know him since I was a rookie soldier and he was a kind, playful, compassionate, yet prideful man in family. He was against the Pazzi or templars as they are know. He wasn't the assassin or Master Assassin you know him now.
The two teens listened to him interested in Ezio. Snake smirked at their curiosity of the assassin. He thought about Ezio before and now, but he kept Ezio's secrets to himself.
Snake: His father and two brothers had got killed with a simple hanging that's how it all started. Ezio was a young assassin with a plan for revenge. He still had his mother and sister which was fortunate, but he let his emotions get the best of him only because of his family. That was when we were young and dumb.
Pit: Then, what happen between you two?
Snake: I'm getting to that, Pit. We met again this time we had changed more serious, deadly and calm. We learned everything about each other to realize we are exactly like brothers in our own way. I was the only friend he considered a brother not even Leonardo Da Vinci was his brother. This time he fought for Justice for the people who have been wronged by the pazzi and I was saving and/or killing people. We were considered heroes, but we keep telling them we weren't heroes. Heroes don't kill people.
Ike: Wow, and then what happened?
Snake: After that, the man know as Subject 17 died at the age of 25 and we saw each other. We had talked for hours then Ezio disappeared back to his timeline. We never saw each other again except Ezio left a picture. *pulls out a photo* It had Ezio and me when we were young and dumb. They had gotten a new subject and Ezio was different cold, sad almost depressed is what I saw out of him. After that happened, we never, ever saw each other again.
Ike sighed sadly as Pit looked down feeling bad for Ezio and Snake. Then, a song came on about this situation.

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me...
