Here is chapter 12, I thank Cubonefan112 for the great reviews, this one is for you. And due to the lack of plot because Connor is in prison, I will add the last member of Ash's team of Assassin's, which means I can add them to RWBY: The Assassin. Also I won't be able to update my stories for a week due to me going to church camp. Anyway, I own nothing except my AU Ash and my OC Assassins.
Ash wanders New York, hoping that Connor is alright. "I wonder if the Templar's will break Thomas out"? Ash asks himself. "I doubt it". Ryan says. Ash turns to see Ryan walking behind him. "Due to Benjamin's interference and given his position in government. I think Thomas will be stuck in prison for quite a while". Ryan explains while Ash nods. Ash and Ryan heard a few gun shots come from an alley. The two Assassin's bolt down the alley to see a dead child and a crying woman. The two ran forward only to jump as the woman pulled a gun on them. "What happened"? Ash asks. "Those monsters called redcoats were chasing a thief, one aimed for him but my son got in the way he took the shot". She explains before crying again. "Now my eldest son is chasing him for vengeance, please stop him, i don't want any more to die". She asks. The two nod before running down the alleys. Ash activated Aura Vision and saw one blue aura fighting various red aura's. Ash turned into the alley and saw a black haired, (but not to Ash's extent) teenager fighting off the redcoats with two daggers.
Ash charges in and shoots one before stabbing two with his hidden blades. Ash felt two bullets shoot past him as Ryan nailed two redcoats with bullets. The teen turns and see's the two fighting. He turns to see a Hessian run off. '"Get back here"! He shouts before parkouring his way up a building and following from the rooftops, shocking the two Assassins. "Impressive". Ryan mutters. "Let's go". Ash orders before running up the same building and following the teen. Ash saw the teen running at a impressive pace before he jumped off and stabbed the Hessian in the neck with both of his daggers. "That's what you get". He mutters before kicking the Hessian's corpse. "Quite the impressive feat". Ash says while walking behind him. The teen turns to see Ash. "Your mother is worried about you". Ash says. "I know, but I failed to protect my brother, she probably hates me". The teen says sadly. "No she doesn't, you went to avenge your brothers death, I'm sure your mother is happy about that, lets go to her". Ash says before opening his arm to the alley. The teen nods before walking down the alley to his mother. "Yaron"! She shouts while hugging her son. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect Jacob, I'm sorry mom". Yaron says with a tear going down his eyes. "It doesn't matter, your safe". She says while hugging him. The two Assassin's stood back from this scene. Yaron turns to them before walking to them. "You came to help me...why"? Yaron asks. "Because no one should suffer a loss like that, I lost my mother in the Battle of Bunker Hill, I want to protect my family, so that is why I joined Ash's cause". Ryan explains. Yaron thinks for a second. "In that case, I want to help". Yaron says determined. The mother seems shocked at that. "Are you sure"? She asks. Yaron nods before walking over to his younger brothers body. "I promised to protect you, I couldn't succeed with that, I promise I won't let anyone suffer like that again". Yaron promises before walking over to Ash. "I decided, I truly want to join if you will have me". Yaron says before kneeling. Ash nods before motioning Yaron to follow. "We need to do something, so we can't start your training yet". Ash explains. "Let's go meet up with Benjamin". Ryan suggests. Ash nods in agreement.
Ash and co. walked in to see Benjamin pacing like a mad man. "What's up Benjamin"? Ash asks. "Thomas has been freed". Benjamin says worried. "What"! Ash asks shocked. "Yes, and worse they framed Connor for the main plot of Washington's murder". Benjamin says. Ash begins to pace. "When is the execution"? Ash asks. "Tomorrow at noon". Benjamin answers. "We got time, Ryan go get George and the others at Boston". Ash orders while Ryan nods and leaves. "Benjamin, do whatever you can to lessen Connor's punishment, and finally, Yaron I need you to patrol the rooftops over the execution site and take down any guards that will be watching". Ash orders while said people nod and leave. "What about you"? Yaron asks. "I'm going to make a visit". Ash said before pulling his hood up and walking out.
Ash arrives at the prison that they held Connor and walked inside. "I'm here to speak with a 'Connor'" Ash said to a warden. "Ah, the plotter for Washington, you here to speak ill to him as well, there is no charge for that". The warden says with a smug look. Ash growls silently before walking with him to Connor's cell. Connor's face brightened slightly upon seeing Ash. "I would like to speak with him alone". Ash said to the warden. "Fine, get out any trash talk and meet me downstairs to leave". The warden says before walking off. "Ash, what are you doing here"? Connor asks. "We're pulling a slim shot here, word reached about your frame, there is no trial just execution". Ash explains while Connor's eyes widened. "I sent Ryan to get the others, they'll be there to help, and We'll take out Thomas as well". Ash says with a smile. Connor smiled at Ash. "Also, I overheard Haytham and Lee talking on my way here, they were the ones who ordered your execution". Ash says bitterly. Connor growls at that. "However, I felt...hesitation in Haytham's voice, like there is something I don't know, perhaps even though your an Assassin he still has fatherly instincts". Ash guesses with a smirk. Connor gives Ash a glare at that. "Anyway, good luck". Ash says before walking off.
Ash walked inside Benjamin's place to see all of the Assassin's present. "Where is Achilles"? Ash asks. "He said he'll be there on the day of the execution with Connor's tomahawk, how he got it, I'll never know". George says with a shrug. "I managed to get them to reduce Connor's sentence to the rope, but that is it". Benjamin says. "That's good, we have a better chance to save him. "I 'took care' of any guards scheduled for the execution". Yaron says while cleaning his daggers. Ash nods before looking over a map of the execution site. "So Connor will be hanged here, so Ryan and Clipper will be scheduled on the two rooftops beside the gallows they will shoot the rope when Connor is on it, dropping him under the gallows, while the others take care of any ground guards, Achilles and I will be in the crowd ready to help Connor when the time arises". Ash plans while the others nodded. "Everyone rest, Its gonna be a big day". Ash said while the others leave.
1 day later
Ash walks through the crowd until he finds Achilles standing like a statue. "Achilles, are you ready"? Ash asks. "Yes, I'm sure you thought of a plan"? Achilles asks. "Yes, we have a plan". Ash answers. "And what if the plan fails"? Achilles asks. Ash smirks at the question. "All hell will break loose". Ash replies with a smirk. Achilles smirked back before he heard booing. Ash turned and saw Connor being led to the gallows. Ash frowned upon seeing Thomas leading Connor. Ash saw a woman from beside him walk up to Connor and punch him in the face before spitting on him. Ash growls and pushes here away while Achilles leans down to Connor. "The Assassin's are with you, just call when you need us". Achilles said. "You need to stop-" Connor started but was interrupted by Thomas picking him up and leading him away. "I need to get a better shot in case things go wrong". Ash mutters to himself before walking off. Ash saw Charles Lee begin a speech, but Ash blocked everything out, he will not let his friend die. Ash got the perfect position and saw Charles pull the lever. Ash couldn't help but cringe slightly when Connor fell, but Ash heard the shot of two bullets fire.
And that's when things went south.
Ash saw that they only cut the rope, not snap it. Ash's eyes widened before he aimed his gun, but before he could fire, a throwing knife zoomed past him and snapped the rope. Ash turned and was shocked stiff. Standing there was Haytham Kenway, who looked like he just thrown something. "No way". Ash thought in shock. Ash's thoughts were interrupted when a scream erupted from a random woman. Ash saw everything go into a panic, Assassin's and blue coats fighting Thomas' mercenaries, Thomas racing through the crowd with Connor on his tail, finally Ash raced forward until he was side by side with Connor and they both tackled Thomas. Ash stabbed Thomas with his sword while Connor plunged his tomahawk into his head, triggering the white room again.
Ash looked around once more, wondering what this place was, he wasn't paying attention last time, and it seems neither of the two men who were talking seemed to notice. Ash's thoughts were interrupted when Connor spoke in his native tongue, closing Thomas' eyes making the world form around them once more. "At ease men". Putnam's voice rang out. "He said at ease you idiots". Ryan snaps while the others show up. Ash and Connor looked and saw them surrounded by guards. "These two are heroes"! Putnam shouts. The men lower their arms while Ash walks over to the others. "You guys okay"? George asks. "Yea, but something weird happened". Ash said. "When Clipper and Ryan's shots didn't snap the rope, I was about to shoot it when Haytham threw a knife at the rope". Ash said while the others eyes widened. "You don't think". Ryan tries to ask. "Only time will tell". Ash said before staring upward into the sky.
To be continued.
There ya go, the final addition to Ash's team. Yaron, an expert in free running and daggers. Finally I can add them to RWBY: The Assassin, as Team GRAY, don't ask it was the only think that worked. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
