Maehara was just finishing his Animus session and was already glaring, he was being attended by one of Yanagisawa's chief aides, he wanted to get rid of this ghuy since he was one of the ones watching Nagisa, and Maehara had the right tool for this job; he had a hidden blade up his sleeve
"Okay Subject 18 Alpha Lambda, you're done for the day" the aide said
"Thanks" Maehara said getting up before deploying his blade, only to put it back before walking off
"Good session Subject 21 Epsilon Vega, despite the circumstances" Moretti said as Maehara walked over
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Maehara asked
"Lousy, they're not giving us time to grieve" Yada said
"That's expected for them" Maehara said "But I'll get them back one day"
"How?" Yada asked
"This" Maehara said revealing the hidden blade he was wearing
"Where did you get that?"
"I found it in my room one day after falling asleep. I think there are other assassins here that work as the staff
"Do you know who?" Yada asked
"No, but I think they're here at the moment" Maehara said
"Okay, so what should we do?" Yada asked
"Be on guard at all times, until we find out who is helping us
"What is this place?" a voice asked as they witness a dark void, suddenly a golden light exploded revealing a round The dreamer looked around before seeing a fiugure in white. he recognise the figure as an Assassin from the time of the crusades. Chasing after him the assassin was switched out to an Italian Assassin taking a gondola ride through the watery street of Venice before turning into an American Assassin pointing a rifle at a redcoat before pulled the trigger which lead to a Pirate leaping onto the deck on an enemy ship with his hidden blade deployed and ended the life of the captain of the ship he boarded before a French Assassin swung his blade or head while he fought in the rain soaked streets in front of the gallows that were set. Next the assassin became a brawler in a train station while guarding a female assassin freeing some hostages, which translated to a Chinese woman jumping from ship to ship deflectinmg arrows with her sword. Next was an Indian assassin using a chakram to take down some English guard before leaning down and rolling along the street as a blunderbus was fired. , he leapt into the air and became a Russian and took a sniping position as he spied the girl he was guard and firing, killing him. Finally he spotted a Spanish assassin performing the Leap of Faith . After the Spaniard jumped another golden light exploded showing all of the Assassins that the dream saw standing in the same room, with another couple of assassins in the background.
"Where am I?" he asked as white light flooded his vision.
"Where am I?" Nagisa asked as he woke up, only to feel pain lance through his body "Ow, what happened?" he asked as someone entered the room and Nagisa heard a chair being rolled over
"G'Day Mate, wakey-wakey eggs and baccy" the guy said
"WHOA! Who are you?"
"Name's Bradley Sullivan, but you can call me Rad" Rad said
"What happened to me?" Nagisa asked as Rad laid him back down
"A glitch in the Animus 4.0, the death of the assassin you were viewing basically shut down your nervous system placing you into a near death state; in fact we thought you werr dead. Anyway we had to place you into the Animus' Black Room to reboot your system
"What?" Nagisa said
"The program is basically a mode to help reboot Animus subjects who has been affected with mental affliction and repair it, now taht your mind's fixed the body must repair itself." Rad said
"Okay" Nagisa said falling back asleep. Rad smiled sfotly before leaving the room.
"How is he?" an assassin asked.
"Good, he just woke up briefly, but he's back asleep. Shouldn't you be at Abstergo?" Rad asked
"I should be, but Moretti's taken my shift so I can come here and report to Sully" Aguri said stepping out of the shadows.
"Do you think the kid's got it, or know its location?" Rad asked
"I do" Aguri said "And if not, he could lead us to it"
"Okay" Rad said
"Another good session Subject 11 Kappa Iota" Moretti said
"Thanks" Fuwa said
"So what do you want to do now miss?" Moretti asked
"Lunch?" Fuwa asked
"Si, I agree sigora" Moretti said as he lead her off. Maehara watched from a distance as Muramatsu walked up to
"Do you think its him?" Muramatsu asked
"Possibly; but we don't know where he and Aguri go after their shifts with us" Maehara said
"Yeah" Murmaatsu said
"What are you guys talking about?" Kanzaki asked as she and Fuwa walked over to them.
"I believe that there may be Assassin's in Abstergo watching our backs" Maehara said
"But that didn't help Nagisa did it?" Kanzaki asked
"Not really" Muramatsu said
"So who is helping us?" Yada asked walking up to the group
Nagisa woke up again, and noticed a wheelchair next to his bed. With some difficulty he got into the chair and was about to roll himself out of the room when Rad walked in and smiled
"Up and about again are we?" Rad asked as he started to push Nagisa somewhere
"Where are we going?" Nagis asked
"The boss wants to see you" Rad said
"How come?" Nagisa asked
"Because they want to meet you, they be thinking you're something special" Rad said as they entered a room with five people in it
"Hello Nagisa, I'm Robert Sullivan, but you can call me Sully, and these are Diana, Artemis, Leo, Jim and you know Rad" Sully said, he looked like the old kindly grandfather figure mixed with a jolly scientist. Nagisa felt calmer around him. "Sadly our other two members could not be here today" Sully said
"Who are they?" Nagisa asked
"Sorry I'm late, Yanagisawa kept me back for a meeting about the project" Aguri said walking in wearing a red, silver and white hoodie and a pair of grey jeans "What?" Nagisa asked shocked.
"Oh hello Nagisa, good to see you up and about, any lingering side effects, headaches, concussion, intestinal trouble, paralysis?" Aguri asked
"Try confusion" Nagisa said
"I'm an assassin assigned with a small team of infiltrators working inside Abstergo to locate the mentor of the Assassin order who disappeared sometime before this year, we still haven't found him" Aguri said
"And where do the Animus users come into things?" Nagisa asked
"They are looking for something called the Nexus. It is a rumoured place to contain the memories of the previous assassins, meaning if Abstergo and by extenison the Templar forces get their hands on it then they can use it to build an army of soldiers who can and will use our own skills against us." Sully said said
"Which means they can and will destroy our order meaning there will be nothing to stop them from gathering the pieces of Eden which means" Aguri said
"All freewill will be controlled by the Templars" Sully said
"So how can I help?" Nagisa asked
"We believe that you Nagisa might contain the answers to the location of the Nexus" Aguri said
"Really?' Nagisa asked shocked
"Yeah, only a few assassins can access the Nexus if it exist and you could be one of them" Artemis said leaning back on her chair and smiled
"So when do we begin?" Nagisa asked
"Shortly" Rad said "We'll begin when Leo gets the Animus in order. Don't worry its more comfortable than the Abstergo Animus"
"Okay, let's do this" Nagisa said
Yada laid on her bed waiting for the night to come
"Is everything okay?" Fuwa asked passing her room
"No, I feel lost without him, it's almost like we've lost a leader" Yada said
"I know how you feel, but we must endure. Maehara's already stepping up to the roll" Fuwa said
"Yeah, but will he do a good job?" Yada asked
"Well he has hidden blades already" Fuwa said
"Which lead us to the idea of the hidden allies in Abstergo" Yada said
"Exactly. Now get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning Fuwa said leaving the room.
"Are we ready?" Sully asked
"Yeah, we're ready. Abstergo servers are offline for the night" Rad said
"Nagisa are you ready?" Sully asked
"Sure" Nagisa said as he reclined on a lounge chair looking Animus as Diana placed a cuff over his wrist and activated the machine
"Medical?" Sully asked
"Medical's ready" Aguri said
"Historian station ready" Leo said
"Sync levels check" Artemis said
"DNA selector working" Jim said
"Target an ancestor Nagisa's relived before" Sully said
"Daichi Ushioda" Aguri said
"The samurai one?" Diana asked
"Good choice. It appears Nagisa had a higher sync level with Daichi than anyone else. Should we be careful of the Bleeding Effect?" Rad asked
"Medical will look over that Aguri said
"Good idea" Rad said
"Begin the simulation" Sully said
"Beginning simulating in 5...4...3...2...1, And Simulation start
Nagisa saw a bright light and soon he opened his eye and saw he was back as Daichi Ushioda. He looked around and saw he was in some kind of shrine. Getting up Daichi walked outside and looked around
"Master Samurai, Master Samurai" the shrine's attendant said running towards him
"What is it?" Daichi asked, but before the attendant could speak, an arrow was shot into his back. Daichi saw this and caught the attendant. Walking over to them was some British looking man in Templar attire
"Ah there you are assassin, now be a good little warrior and hand over the Piece of Eden" he said
"Don't have it" Daichi smirked
"Then where is it?" the Templar asked
"Like I'm going to tell you" Daichi said as he drew his sword and attacked the templars, stabbing and slashing at them, alternating between his hidden blade and katana. Once they were all gone, Daichi went to check on the attendant, but he was gone. Sighing Daichi closed his eyes and went off to find some others, so the others could perform the funeral rites for the dead attendant. Upon Daichi walking away the Animus ended it session.
