Present Day
The next day after I woke up, Dr. Davis told me to go straight into the Animus. I was happy because doing parkour was fun.

Shyeena stole my whole wallet of 8,925 grand and escaped. I needed answers, from both myself and others. I needed to know if I was an Assassin. I told Neil I brought him along so that I can induct him in the Assassin's Creed. Yet I told Shyeena I wasn't an Assassin. When she asked why I wore the robes, I couldn't possibly answer that. Even if I wanted to become an Assassin, and even induct Neil for that matter, how? I had no idea what the Order does all day. Susano'o told me that they killed Templars and thats all. What would father have done if he lived? Did mom know of this? I decided to find an answer for my question and went to the Assassin HQ. I asked them how to formally be inducted to the Creed. They asked if I was ready to permanently accepy the Creed in my life from now until death. "Yes" I replied. I lied. I wasn't sure what I should do. Plus I never even met a Templar besides Xicor who kept it a secret until that day. Then they held a ceremony where I had to repeat some words. I didn't know what it was until the assembly. The Assassin mentor said "Repeat after me 'Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted'". I was shocked! Those were the words Shyeena spoke to me before everything changed. "NOTHING IS TRUE EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED! I'M NOT SAYING THAT! IF THAT'S THE SAYING OF THE ASSASSIN'S I'M QUITTING!". I stormed out of the building and freeran to the top of the Tower. As a kid I loved laying down on buildings at night, looking at the stars.
"Enjoying yourself Ken?"
It was Shyeena's voice but after all that's happened today I no longer cared.
"What are you doing here? Do you feel guilty stealing my wallet?"
"No. I already spent all of it."
"I have questions and you will answer them. If you run I'll kill you. Got that!"
"Fine! I already came all the way here."
"1st question. The saying of the Assassin's were those the words spoke by you after you stabbed me, why?"
"Isn't it obvious? You really aren't that bright."
"Answer me!"
"I'm an Assassin"
I was surprised. After all of this I thought she was a Templar.
"I'm not"
After a moment, I realized I said that out loud.
"Why the stab then"
"That was a distraction to keep you away"
"From what?"
"Coming to my house"
"Why?"
"I was busy killing my family. When I said that I killed a thief, I killed a messenger. He was a Templar spy trying to kill your family by using the guard-disguised-Templars to arrest them. They were hired by my parents. My parents knew you were an Assassin family and they were Templars so they used me to get to you because they knew we were in a relationship."
I stood with my jaw dropped. She protected me and tried to prevent my family's death. For the first time since a year before the incident I cried.
Shyeena said that she was sorry then a tear dropped from her eye. She hugged me then disappeared.
'How will I tell this to Neil?'
How to become an Assassin was my first question of the day now I have to figure out my 2nd one. I'll leave Neil alone now. I need to figure out what to do with all of this armor and weapons I have. When I went to Shyeena's house that day she had armor and weapons. I aquired the armor of the 1st Japanese Assassin. Then my dads armor and weapons, Ezio Auditore's weapons and the Sword of Eden.
I'm keeping the Sword of Eden because its valuable golden. But I'm gonna keep the equipment Shyeena gave me for the future. My dads equipment is outdated and I'll keep the others.
I made 900,000 florins. 'I wonder how much of that will be in the coin of the Japanese?'
It was late at night because I haven't laid down since I arrived in Italy. Before I need to find Neil. I left him at the Assassin HQ. I went back there to get him. A man with many scars approached me.
"Your brother has been inducted into the Brotherhood however you are NOT welcome here. It was one thing tot interrupt a traditional ceremony but its another thing to knock things onto the floor and hate the words out Creed stands bye. Get out. However people like you with nothing better to do like money don't you!? Well you can earn it bye killing! Just like how you peasants like it! You hunt and kill Templars you come to the gate and we give you money! Don't you dare step one dirty step in here! Just outside the gates! Your skill is unmatched in comparison to the other Assassin's but your ignorance and disgrace of our creed kicked you out! Bye! Damn filthy waste!
After that neil came out with white ceremonial robes with a beaked hood on.
"Onii-chan, I'm sleepy and exhausted after training. Lets find an inn."
"Agreed"
We looked and looked but not one was found. I yelled in frustration then Shyeena appeared in front of me.
Looking back on what happened last time I spoke to her I spoke.
"Hey."
"There's no more inns here. One of the inns are a theives den."
"Well looks like I'm screwed" I honestly replied.
"Why not stay over at my place"
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm" I said thinking.
"SURE!" I looked over finding out that voice came from Neil.
"My feet are killing me; I'm definatly taking this offer!" Neil again replied.
"Looks like were staying at your place Shyeena"
She nodded.
