Desmond's story
"What is happening? Where am I?" asked Desmond in an Italian accent.
"Desmond! Snap out of it!" yelled Lucy.
"Oh shit! That was bad. I still thought that I was Ezio." said Desmond, shocked.
"You need to rest Desmond." said Rebecca. "Stay out of the Animus for a while."
"Your right. On another note, did you guys see what happened in there, or was it only me?" asked Desmond.
"It's weird Desmond, the monitoring system didn't work in the beginning, but when it started back up again, Ezio was a pony, just like you." said Rebecca, poorly stifling a giggle.
"What happened before he was turned into a pony Desmond? Did you find out how it happened?" asked Shaun.
"You remember that flower I found? It was from that world. It's called poison joke and it plays a prank on whoever... touches... it." said Desmond with an evil smile creeping over his face. Then he made his way as fast as he could to the flower, grabbed it with his mouth, and ran back, rubbing Shaun, Rebecca, and Lucy with it as he passed them. Then he laughed hysterically.
"What did you do Desmond?" asked Lucy angrily.
He had to speak through laughs. "I got you! Poison joke! Your going to turn into ponies now!"
"Son of a bitch!" said Shaun.
"Damn it Desmond!" said Lucy.
"Shit!" said Rebecca.
Desmond's laughing finally stopped and then said, "You guys should take a nap." Then he giggled a little, "But in more serious matters, when was the last time you've slept?"
"Three days ago." said Shaun miserably.
"Same here." said Rebecca, yawning.
Lucy was silent.
"I'm going to keep watch, you guys take a nap. And I need to train. Confound this pony body." he said. Then he walked out, "Night."
"Fuck you Desmond." said Lucy.
"Fuck you Desmond." said Shaun.
"Fuck you Desmond." said Rebecca.
Desmond laughed as he walked out. When he was in front of the villa he said "I don't think that Vidic will recognize me as I am now, so I got time to train. What should I do? I don't have a clue on how to use my wings or my horn. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were going to teach me, no not me, Ezio, but if I stayed in there any longer, I might have started painting symbols on the walls." He remembered subject 16 and what happens if you stay in the Animus for too long.
Then he thought. "Wings first, then magic" Then he tried to open his wings. He tried every physical way that he could think of, and none succeeded. Then he remembered the time that his hidden blade was activated, it used his will. He realized that when he wanted his wings to open, they would, and sure enough, it worked. Then he tried to use his will to flap his wings, and it didn't work.
"Fuck! These wings are nothing but trouble, but if I am going to stay like this, I need to learn how to use them." Then he saw something out of the corner of his eye, Rainbow Dash and Ezio. Desmond was a little surprised, but then realized that it was only a vision. Then the vision surrounded him, and he was in Ezio's body again. "Rainbow Dash must be training Ezio how to fly." he said to himself.
"Alright, Ezio!" he heard her say. "You need to flap, search yourself for your new wing muscles." And he did. "Those muscles are magic, it flaps your wings, and helps keeps you aloft while flying."
"Alright, I can feel them." said Ezio / Desmond.
"NOW FLAP!" yelled Rainbow Dash.
Ezio / Desmond struggled to flap, but eventually got the hang of it.
"Alright! You got it." said Rainbow Dash enthusiastically, "Now, flying should be easy after you've learned how to use your wings, just keep your eyes foreword, you don't want to hit anything, and keep your mouth shut, you don't want to swallow a bug." Then she giggled.
"I'll keep that in mind." said Ezio / Desmond. Then the vision subsided, and Desmond was on the ground.
Desmond flapped his wings and started to fly. "Whoa, this is awesome!" he said. Then he tried to move through the air, and Ezio's skills came in handy at that point, because he nearly crashed into a tree before swerving around it. "I need to figure out my own speed, if I'm not careful, I could really hurt myself."
He had gotten the basics of flying down, and was almost as fast as Rainbow Dash when he flew in a straight line. "Alright!" he said to himself, "Now that I got flying down, I need to learn magic." Then he landed and looked up at his horn.
Then he saw another vision of Princess Luna talking to another alicorn. "What? Who is he?" said Desmond. Then the image surrounded him and he was in the alicorn's body.
"Princess Luna, we meet again." said the alicorn with a bow.
"Altaïr? Is that you?" he nodded.
"Altaïr? He came to this world too?" said Desmond.
"What has it been, 60 years?" asked Princess Luna.
"More or less. The first time that I used the apple, I was sent here, and now, 66 years later, I have returned. I need you to do something for me, Luna. I am an old man now, and I fear that my time is short." said Altaïr with a look of sorrow on his face.
"What is it? Tell me, I'll do it!" said the Princess, shocked at his words.
"I need you to come to my world for a small amount of time." he said.
Princess Luna was shocked. "Why do you need me to come to your world, Altaïr?" she asked.
"I cannot tell you, but I can show you." then he reached into his pocket and pulled out 2 Apples of Edan.
"You have two Apples? Where did you get the second?"
"That is unimportant." said Altaïr. "Place a hoof on each Apple. One will bring us to the human world. The other will show you what to do, and temporarily change you into a human. Don't worry, you will know how to move, I made that possible."
Luna placed her hooves on each of the Apples, and found herself in the Villa Auditore. "Where are we Altaïr?" she asked, startled.
"The Villa Auditore, or what it will be at the time that it is needed. This place is a key stronghold for my ancestors. The Apple has given me wisdom, and now you know what to do." he replied.
"Yes, I do know what to do." she said. Then Altaïr took out a letter from his cloak and gave it to her. She went inside the Villa and into the assassin sanctuary. She used a spell, and the note was placed in a compartment hidden behind under where Altaïr's statue would go in the future.
"Desmond!" yelled Altaïr.
"He knows about me as well?"
"I know you are watching this, but I do not know how. This note is for you. It will answer the questions that you have right now!"
Then the Princess came out from the sanctuary, and Altaïr told her to place her hands on the Apples. Then they were transported to the pony world again. Princess Luna was a pony, but Altaïr was still a human.
"Luna, now I need you to destroy this seventh Apple." he said reaching into his pocket. "It is a fake, I made it, and it is unstable."
"As you wish, Altaïr." said Luna, taking the Apple.
"Goodbye Luna, I hope that we may meet again, sometime in the future." said Altaïr. Then he used his Apple to transport away.
The image faded away, and Desmond was left speechless. Then he remembered the note, so he ran down the stairs to the sanctuary while the other three were sleeping, and found the place that the secret compartment was. He tried to get in, but couldn't, then he saw a round hole in the ground. He put his horn in it, and the compartment swung open. Then he saw the note.
He grabbed it, and read it. The first side was Altaïr explaining the note and his visit to the pony universe. On the other side was how to use magic and different spells that he could use. "Thank you Altaïr, my mentor. Requiescat in pace, Altaïr, may your memory never fade." said Desmond in respect to Altaïr.
Then he went outside and practiced his magic while the sun came up over the horizon. "Alright, they're probably awake now, better go back in the Animus." he said.
