Rise of Team ACEE
Still trying to post as soon as possible without making the chapters really short and shitty. Hope this gets out soon enough that you guys won't be mad at me. Yes, I made it so Blake was an S/M kind of person, but it won't affect her in the story that much unless its a moment of Connor x Blake. I'm in the process of trying to unblock my internet long enough to type this out, but also without alerting my parents in the process. Anyways, enjoy this new chapter. :P
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY or Assassin's Creed sadly.
Beacon Academy, Time Unknown:
"How is he doing?"
"He'll be fine, but he's going to be out of commission for a week or two at the very least." A nurse responded.
"Aw hell… well what are we gonna do now without him?" Edward asked the other assassins. They thought to themselves but shrugged after finding no answer.
"What?" The assassins looked to Connor to find him sitting up and acting as if he felt no pain or anything at all.
"I'm fine, I don't feel anything." He said. The assassins were more than just surprised to see Connor acting normal even after taking a bullet to the stomach and almost bleeding out. Connor got off the hospital bed and was searching for his traditional robes, only to find that they had been replaced with captain Kidd's uniform.
"Why is this here? Where are my usual robes?" he asked.
"The ones you were wearing are bloodstained, so we thought that they should get washed." Altair responded. Connor nodded, and closed the hospital curtain in order to change privately. When he came out, Edward could have sworn he saw Thatch, but realized it was Connor in his new getup.
"Mate, ye look like a pirate in those clothes." Edward said sadly.
"Well I mean they're hand-me downs from the famous Captain Kidd himself."
"Did ya say Captain Kidd?" Edward asked. Connor was surprised at the sudden question but didn't hesitate to respond.
"Yeah, why something happen to him that affected you?"
"No, it just brings back old memories." Edward replied. He sighed at the memory of Mary and how her alias was "James Kidd", along with what happened at the prison and the start of his true journey as an assassin.
"We'd best get back to the house, we gotta figure out what do about this." Altair stated. The other assassins nodded, while Ezio chuckled quietly after seeing Connor and his big hat.
Assassin's Hideout, Time Unknown
The assassins were currently in the all-assassin oriented part of their basement, with the other side being the forge.
"So did you guys search the body when you found me?" Connor asked.
"We didn't but I assigned one of the students to do it for me. And its like we thought, he found a blood red cross necklace on the corpse of the leader." Ezio replied. The assassins were shocked but none of them showed it for the fact that this wasn't the first time the Templars were found to be behind the most devious of schemes.
"Well we'd best ask around town and see if the locals can't provide some info on suspicious people. If we start now, we're bound to find some people with useful info." Altair stated. The assassins nodded to respond their opinions and they all went upstairs to prepare for another trip in the city.
Vale City, Time Unknown
"Well this was useless." Edward huffed. The assassins had just gotten back from asking around the city for information on who leads it. So far, their search turned up with nothing.
"Well if I could be of any help, might I suggest something." Mars asked from the apple. Ezio pulled out Mars' apple and set it on the ground before the hologram of him had appeared.
"You know how you guys stopped a robbery a week or two ago?" Mars said.
"Yeah, how could we forget?" Altair answered.
"What do you think would happen if you wait until another robbery happens, and then tail or interrogate the criminals in order to find out where their boss is. Most likely, the boss holds the most information, and one does not simply find a gang's boss by asking around town." He suggested. The assassins pondered on this before resuming the conversation.
"Yeah we could do that, but where are we gonna find a robbery taking place, and if its far, how are we going to arrive in time to intercept them?" Altair started.
"Leave that to me." Mars answered. Soon enough the assassins saw a wanted poster in his hand, and it had each of their faces on it. 100,000 Lin for all of their captures, but 20,000 per assassin.
"This is your goddamn plan!?" Edward yelled. Mars chuckled.
"Yep, it should be enough to have every criminal on your backs. Plus you guys are master assassins, how can this phase you more than having to infiltrate a fortress guarded by more trained combatants than the population of this city?" The assassins knew that this was kinda like child's play to them, but they still didn't want to enter combat unless they had to.
"Come to think of it, I'm detecting some movement coming towards you guys right now!" Mars yelled happily. The assassins didn't have the time to think of an escape plan, so Ezio picked up Mars' apple and ran to catch up with the other assassins.
"There they are! Get 'em!" A voice from around the corner said. The assassins ran faster and began to search for something to start a free-running sequence. Soon enough, they found a stack of boxes that were perfect for running up. Altair ran up the boxes and climbed up a building until he was on the edge of the roof and began running alongside it. Connor also ran up the crates but kept leaping and running on railings and sign handles. Ezio had flung himself up with a lift, while Edward kept running down the alley trying to lead the crowd off.
Edward kept running but beginning to get tired and with the crowd behind him, he didn't have many options to use as an escape. He made another turn before feeling a rope wrap around him. The three other assassins hoisted him up onto the roof they were on while watching their pursuers go further down the alleyways.
"Jaysus, what in bloody hell made you think this was a good idea!?" Edward panted.
"It was the first thing that came off the top of my head, plus I was bored so having you guys running around and me following was better than just sitting around and waiting." Mars responded.
"But what did that get us now!? It just got us into more trouble, and now we don't have the time to actually search for our targets!" Edward yelled. Mars smirked before pointing a finger towards an open area. The assassins looked towards where he was pointing before seeing a group of the same-suited men along with the same bowler hat man from the robbery.
"What did I tell you?" Mars whispered. Edward just frowned before shifting his sight back to the group. From the looks of it, the assassins saw the group of thugs looking as if they were preparing for war.
"Alright boys, listen up! Our targets have a 100,000 Lin bounty on them should we capture all four of those hooded freaks!" The leader yelled, while the assassins all fought off the urge to hop down and kill them all or a majority of them. "If you catch even one of them, 15,000 can be yours! The other 5,000 will be sent to the boss, but there is a catch." The thugs looked at their leader questioningly.
"Do realize that the money will only 20,000 total, not each, so you can hunt alone, or in a group, it doesn't faze me in the slightest as to how you approach this!" The thugs either cheered or slightly frowned at their leader's words. The assassins knew that if they were hunting them and were on the lookout for them, they could use it to their advantage. Not to mention, the thugs were so driven by the reward, that they would probably act recklessly as history has taught the assassins.
"Are we going to tail some of them?" Edward asked. The assassins nodded in response, before splitting up to follow their own group of thugs. But they stopped after hearing Mars speak again.
"All of you stand still for a second." Mars said from his apple. The assassins did a they were told before they all fell on the ground cursing in their different languages while Mars was laughing his ass off at their misfortune.
"Bastardo"
"I have injected a telepathic power into your minds so that you can transmit your thoughts to the others. So if you need help, don't be afraid to let a message out into this network that you're in trouble." Mars said. Although his methods of "helping" indeed helped, they the way he implored it. The assassins then once again split up to follow their own groups.
Connor's Tail, Time Unknown
'Goddamnit Mars, why the hell are you always right yet you can't even help without making us suffer.' Connor thought to himself. He was currently tailing his group of thugs, since they were on the search for him and Ezio. The thugs stopped down the alleyway before noticing a "business transaction" taking place, in which Connor felt disgusted at what was being traded and what the thugs were planning on doing. Soon enough, one of the businessmen had given the briefcase to the thugs, while his colleague had snuck away. Or so he thought. Connor then saw two thugs dragging a bloodied man back to their place in the alleyway. Upon sight of this, one thug took out his pistol and shot the injured man while the other one was sweating a storm.
'Maybe this might be a good time to intervene.' Connor hopped down from his perch before landing on the two thugs who were separated from the others. He ended them quickly with a dual assassination before running at two more thugs. He then running-assassinated them before throwing his tomahawk to end the one last thug. The businessman was currently lying down but stood up after seeing the thugs dead before he began sweating at seeing Connor.
'Now comes the reason why I followed them.' Connor dragged the man by the collar before shoving him against a wall. He then punched the man with no mercy, since he was drug dealing before the thugs came here, he was just as innocent as the people he had killed were, which was not at all.
"Tell me who these men were!" He yelled at the man. The businessman punched Connor and tried to escape, but Connor lost his patience and threw a rope dart at him. He pulled his captive before him and stabbed his stomach with his hidden blade. The man spurt blood before Connor questioned him again.
"Tell me now, or I won't bring you to a doctor!" The man had hope in his eyes, and spoke.
"They're part of the White Fang, you don't wanna fuck with them. If you do you're as good as dead!" He had sputtered.
"What else!?"
"They're all faunas and their leader is Roman Torchwick!" He coughed up some more blood.
"Good enough."
"Now take me to a doctor! I'm going to die at this rate!" The businessman cried. Connor looked right in the man's eyes before activating his hidden blade.
"You are nothing more than scum to walk this earth. You plead to be innocent yet you help pollute the purity of those around you. Rest in peace you vile man." Connor stabbed the man's neck, and when he saw the light of his eyes fade, he retracted his blade.
"I got the name of the leader, goes by Roman Torchwick. Said to be a part of a gang called "The White Fang." Connor told the others via thought channel.
Edward's Tail, Time Unknown
"Jaysus how many of you fuckers are there!?" Edward yelled while stabbing yet another thug with his pistol sword. He had tailed his group of thugs to an abandoned club, but it was an ambush and currently he felt like he was fighting two man-o-wars' crews.
'I should not have followed those guys. They were at least smart enough to lead me off into an ambush I'll give them that, but I thought they were the only ones there and I could kill them all with ease.'
He thought while aiming his pistol sword at a thug about to shoot him. Just before he felt like falling down due to exhaustion, something that looked like a flame had shot down through the roof and took out a group of thugs upon landing. When the crater's smoke dissipated, Edward saw Yang appear and she was already in a fighting stance.
"'Sup teach." She said before setting about in fighting some thugs. Edward just smirked before pulling out two pistols and ending two more thugs. Yang was already deep in combat and was shooting flame after flame at more thugs with her Ember Cecilias. Soon enough, the thugs stopped their assault and two girls appeared, one being white and the other being red, and from their looks, they were twins.
"Melanie, who are these two?" The red asks her white counterpart.
"I don't know Militiades, but we should teach them a lesson." The girl in white responds.
Yang reloads her gauntlets with red shells this time. Edward also reloaded each of his pistols, while also preparing his newly made pistol swords. Yang ran at Melanie shooting flaming explosive shells while charging. At the same time, Edward was hip-aiming his pistol swords while also charging at Militiades. She responded by blocking his bullets with her red claws and charged at Edward as well.
"Damn, for a lass you sure are tough." Edward said upon clashing blades with Militia. She responded with faster swipes, but Edward kept countering and countering each one. Soon enough, Edward found an opening and broke Militia's defense with the old sword grab and pull. He then raised his pistol swords and shot them, using the momentum to bring the handles of the swords down hard on Militia's back, causing her to fall down and go out of commission for the fight.
"Hey teach?" Edward looked to see Yang struggling against Melanie. Edward sighed before aiming his pistol swords at Melanie who promptly ran to a nearby pillar to take cover from Edward's shots. He then took out a smoke bomb and threw it at Melanie's position. Soon enough, she hopped from her position, thinking the smoke bomb to be an actual bomb, and charged at Yang who was unprepared due to her guard being down.
"Oh shi-" She was cut off by the surprise she received at seeing Edward clothesline Melanie. All he could do was laugh at the sight, while Yang stood there open mouthed and wide-eyed due to the fact that she was about to die from her, yet she was defeated by a simple clothesline.
"You're gonna pay for this." Edward and Yang turned around to see a man with what looked like a rocket-launcher appear on the stage of the club.
"Oh hey Junior, long time no see!" Yang responded. Edward tensed and had just finished reloading his pistols when Junior aimed his launcher at Yang and launched a barrage of missiles at her. She shot down all the rockets with a few punches of flaming shotgun shells, but Edward was hesitant as to how he would block the set of rockets aimed at him.
'Well I'm going to have to use my new weapons now. Fuck, the guys are gonna kill me if they catch wind of me having to reveal these sooner than planned.' Yang watched in amazement when she saw Edward unlatch and take out a pair of golden pistol swords. But to her surprise, his swords began to fold in on itself, until Edward was now holding what looked like a nine barreled pair of pistols. He then set into a shooting stance and shot each incoming rocket with the precision of a marksman who had been training his whole life. Junior then grunted in anger before switching his rocket launcher into a bat.
"If rockets can't kill you, then I'll just beat you all to death! And soon that precious money is gonna be all mine!" He yelled while charging at Yang. She couldn't block the attack, so the force of the impact ended up making her fly across the dance floor until she hit the wall painfully. Edward got angrier at this and became more enraged at seeing Junior smirk at Yang's unconscious body.
"And when you're dead, I'll wait for her to wake up and I'll enjoy her to the fullest extent." He said. Edward broke, for if anything could enrage the assassins, it was attempting to rape someone so innocent, that, and killing innocents. The assassins were the saving graces of many people, and enraging them was something you should never do. Especially the pirate known as "The Devil of the Caribbean" who was also an assassin that was feared by both the British and Spanish. No, he should have never angered Edward, and Junior had just enraged him to the breaking point.
"I swear I'm going to make you eat lead and blades you piece of shit!" Edward charged full-force at Junior. Junior smirked again and aimed it so his bat would bash Edward by the side of his face and use his rockets to super propel it. But when he swung, Edward slid down, and stabbed both his blades into the backs of Junior's knees causing him to fall down and kneel. Edward got up and picked up his bat while Junior made a scared to death face as to what he thought Edward would do. Instead, Edward grabbed the bat and smashed it against the floor, causing it to break in half.
"This is what's gonna happen should you lie, so think carefully about what you're about to say cause it'll decide if I let you live or die." Edward said coldly. He still had a job to do, but was somewhat relieved when Junior fell for his trap.
"O-ok, the man you're looking for is Roman Torchwick, his gang is the White Fang, and there going to have a meeting by the shipping docks a couple days from now!" Junior yelled. "Now please let go of me!" Edward smiled and let him go gently.
"Tha-" Junior was about to give a mock show of thanks, but was cut short when Edward had shoved his hidden blades into both sides of the man's head.
"Rest in Peace, piece of shit." Edward muttered. He turned to still see Yang's unconscious form on the ground by the wall she had hit. Edward just grunted and picked her body up before heading back to their house while telling the others of his encounters and the information he had learned of through the thought network.
Assassin's House, Time Unknown
Altair, Ezio, and Connor had arrived at the house only to see Yang's unconscious form sleeping soundly on the couch. Next to her on his favorite armchair, Edward was sitting while watching her like a hawk. He had noticed the guys enter the living room and they began to talk.
"So, mind explaining why one of our students is here Edward?" Altair asked. Edward sighed before thinking of how to explain to the other assassins as to how Yang ended up at their house.
"Before you ask, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake are already on their way here to pick her up." The assassins sighed in relief at this, knowing that they wouldn't be charged for kidnapping, although all of them had taken part in kidnappings of important people at some point in their career. Edward then told the guys about what he had learned, and that Yang had ended up caught in the middle of his fight at the club.
"Well, I was told the same thing actually. The man had told me of a gang called "The White Fang" and that their leader was some Roman Torchwick guy." Connor responded after Edward finished telling his story.
"But we should prepare to infiltrate their meeting at the ports, cause who knows what the Templars are up to with this new technology." Ezio stated. The assassins nodded and went about their personal business but stayed in the house to watch over Yang until her friends came by to pick her up. Soon enough, they heard their doorbell ring.
"So you guys said you had Yang right?" Weiss asked with narrowed eyes.
"Don't worry we didn't rape her. She just got in a fight with me and she ended up crashing into a wall." Edward said nonchalantly. He had taken the liberty of patching up her wounds, and had Ezio make sure she was going to be alright. Edward only had his head poking out of the narrow crack of the open door, which caused the girls to look at him in suspicion that he was hiding something.
"Hey Edward, why is that you like you're trying to hide something?" Ruby asked. The girls sweatdropped at her question, while Edward was thinking of a way to answer that.
"Its cause something in here is secret and we can't let anyone see it." Blake and Weiss thought about this before looking at each other and let their faces say it.
'Gay.'
Soon enough, Edward watched as Ezio walked up to him while he was carrying the sleeping Yang over his shoulder.
"Well the belladonna is fine and should wake up tomorrow. She'll probably complain about headaches, but that was due to a concussion. Other than that, she'll be fine." Ezio said reassuringly.
The girls then grabbed Yang and had Blake piggybacking her and then they turned around and began their walk back to the airport. When Edward closed the door he sighed in relief, knowing that if they walked in, they would see all the assassins propaganda all over the house, and would have revealed their secret second life.
"I need a drink." He mumbled before heading to the fridge to grab a bottle of rum. He then sat on his favorite armchair and thought to himself.
'I miss them all dearly. But I'll continue to live this life to the fullest extent.' He thought. Soon enough he had drank enough bottles to pass out and wait until morning for Connor to make him faceplant on the ground as his alarm.
-End-
By the way, I forgot to mention that the special armors (excluding Connor's ring) will be saved for later chapters. The assassins all wear black and red as their usual wear around Beacon, including Altair, while he has his separate white Masyaf outfit. From now on expect chapters to be late and possibly no longer will I update every 4-5 days. I'm sorry, but my parents have blocked my internet and I can't get anything done due to butt loads of homework. But until then, please stay loyal my precious readers, and have a nice day!
-Cya next chapter! Exno out!-
