Rise of Team ACEE
Author's Notes: Anyways to start my rant off, if you didn't want fucking Blake x Connor (nice spelling btw, I'm a grammar nazi thank you very much), don't be a dick and just review as a guest named "just why" and then solely express your hate for the pairing. I decided on my own will that I'd fucking write about this pairing because I need goddamn practice with writing romance due to my other fanfics that are in need of it. If you didn't want the pairing, then go write your own damn fanfic.
Now that that's said and done (slams fist on desk multiple times to calm down slightly), I hope you guys liked the last chapter and now I need to respond to just one review. To mister "GUEST" (no joke, that's how he named himself), I'm still deciding whether or not to put in Arno and quite possibly the other three assassins. The only deciding factor is if he's the only one with character development (aka, an actual history with the assassins and other things that could be considered as somewhat minor details) and the other three are just there for Multiplayer, then I won't. As for Shay, maybe. How so maybe? Well, you'll just have to find out (aka I have no idea what I'm going to do about him).
Disclaimer: Please get Yang to punch you in the balls multiple times by her Ember Celicas if you thought I owned RWBY or Assassin's Creed. Because I don't, now stop thinking I do.
Vale Forest, 10:27 am
"Alright, so now what Mars?" Pyrrha asked as she opened up the panel on the back of the Elysian Paladin. Currently, she, Adewale, Jaune, and Mars were fixing up the robot they had gotten a hold of from the White Fang.
"Bring my apple over there." Adewale smirked and picked up Mars' apple and chucked it at Pyrrha, causing the hologram to look dizzy as Pyrrha held up a hand and a black aura outlined the apple and floated directly into her outstretched hand.
"I swear, you're gonna die when I get my hands on you." Mars groaned as he took a look at the wiring in the panel.
"Alright, take that green and red wire and connect them into the holes I'm about to open in this apple." Pyrrha did as she was told and connected the wires before placing the apple into the open area of the robot before placing the covering back over it. Suddenly, the robot turned on, and there was a bright flash of golden light and sitting in the driver's chair was the hologram of Mars.
"Been a while since I've had a body." He commented as he moved his arm up, and at the exact same time, the robot's arm followed his arm upwards. He did a quick jab with his other arm, and the robot easily did the same exact movement.
"What have we created…" Adewale watched in awe and horror as Mars grinned sadistically at him from the cockpit.
"Hey, what noise does a chainsaw make?" Mars asked as Jaune and Pyrrha pinched the bridges of their noses at the same time as Adewale narrowed his eyes.
"RUN NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA!" Mars yelled out sadistically and Adewale's eyes widened as the Elysian Paladin under Mars' control suddenly had its rocket pods activated, and the targeting lasers were pointed directly at him.
"I'm gonna kill you when I get the chance for making that shitty joke!" Adewale cried as he hopped forward and felt the knockback of an explosion from one of Mars' missiles.
"Do you think we should stop him?" Jaune asked as Adewale continued to yell for his life as no one could hear them so deep into the forest while Mars continued to destroy the area with a barrage of missiles.
"Probably not." Pyrrha replied without any hesitation as the two walked back towards downtown Vale.
Meanwhile, Another Part of Downtown Vale
"Ugh, I swear Eury is gonna kill me if we keep making meetings happen here. 'Always ends up in destruction.' he says." Connor groaned as Ezio held open the door for the two being the gentleman he is. They were glad that Eury was busy with other morning drinkers at the moment, so they quickly found their seats at a corner booth that had three other men wearing White Fang masks, but were discreet and had hoods on.
"Nice to see you again, transformed one." The White Fang member in the middle said. Connor raised an eyebrow as Blake tilted her head while the two turned to Ezio where he shrugged in response. The middle man then turned to Blake.
"Nice to see your doing well Miss Belladonna."
"Shut up." Blake said firmly as the White Fang member chuckled.
"Now what the hell did you call us here for?" Ezio asked as the the White Fang members chuckled even more.
"Now, now, is that any way to treat your saviors?" The middle man said as their chuckling died down while Ezio rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, now tell us why you're here." Ezio said as the man pulled out a holographic pad and swiped the screen about three times before handing it to Ezio. It was the White Fang's symbol, however, it was instead black and had a spear going through the back of the wolf's head, and out the mouth.
"No… you're one of them!?" Blake asked startled and out loud causing some of the other customers in the bar to turn to her as well. The smile that the middle man had under the shadow of his hood was obvious as one of the faunus' fangs shined a bit from the light of the bar.
"Who's 'them'?" Connor asked as Blake and Ezio turned their heads and put them close together to avoid letting the other present White Fang members hear them.
"They're one of the most elite divisions of the White Fang, and I happened to be one of them for some time." Blake said as Connor rolled his eyes.
"What were they made for anyways?" He asked while Ezio turned his head back to the White Fang members and saw them still smiling darkly from under their hoods.
"Assassinations." Blake answered as she turned to the man in the middle.
"Now why is the Predator Core even helping us?" The middle man chuckled.
"Oh you should know Miss Belladonna. I mean, you've gone through this before right?"
"What do you mean 'you've gone through this before'?" Connor asked as Blake then turned to him.
"The Predator Core acts on its own, and therefore its sometimes doesn't even take part in usual White Fang missions. And they never reveal themselves unless its absolutely needed."
"That's right. I see you haven't forgotten your time with us." The middle man said.
"So then what do you want with us?" Ezio asked as the middle man was handed a manilla folder and slid it to Ezio from across the table. The assassin opened it up and it was pictures of the Assassins "working". Luckily their hoods shadowed their faces thus concealing their identities.
"We know of your works of killing off our 'brothers and sisters' but we'd like to at least try to form an agreement between the two of our orders." The middle man said.
"What do you mean by an agreement?"
"We'd like to ask for mutual peace between our factions. What we mean by that is that you don't touch us, and we don't touch you." Ezio narrowed his eyes seeing how he didn't like the sound and feeling of the White Fang member's voice, seeing how one of the strongest divisions of the White Fang would just ask for peace out of nowhere.
"Maybe, but we'll think on it." Ezio said as the other two stood up with him. But the middle man made them stop just before they left the bar.
"Well a friendly piece of advice, they've begun to move."
"Hm." Ezio said seeing how he had no idea who the middle man was talking about. They waved goodbye without turning back as they walked out the bar. On the way back to the house, their conversation about the meeting began.
"What the hell was that all about anyways?" Connor asked as Blake looked to him.
"Well for starters, its not natural for the Predator Core to appear out of their own will."
"So you're saying that they forced themselves out?"
"To a certain extent. Normally they just get sent out on missions and then return without leaving unless the mission is completed or at least they die trying."
"Hmph, makes them sound like diehards for the White Fang." Ezio mumbled as Blake went on.
"I'd assume that we could be of use to them while they have something we want, so its only fair that we at least keep ourselves as their allies until we know for sure they're working against us."
"Fine, but we still have yet to think over that one deal they offered us." Ezio said as they finally reached the door to their headquarters. They walked inside and went downstairs to do some regular training but were met by a weird sight. Currently, Edward was on top of Yang in an easily misunderstood position where it looked like the latter was pushed down and was about to initiate in… indecent actions.
"Whaaa…" Blake's face turned red as Edward immediately jumped up and held his arms out in a surrendering position.
"For the record, this is not what it looks like." Edward said as Yang smirked as she also got up. She put her elbow onto Edward's shoulder and leaned on him making the other three think that something actually did happen.
"And here I thought that you guys were all gay at first." Blake muttered as Connor raised an eyebrow at hearing the word 'gay at first' seeing how he wasn't paying that much attention to his faunus girlfriend.
"Oh yeah that reminds me, where's Altair and Ruby?" Connor asked.
"They're out doing some missions we've received." Edward responded as he grinned evilly as he suddenly shuffled to the right, causing Yang to fall towards him and she tried to reach out to grab him but fell to the ground.
"Oww…"
"What missions?" Connor asked as Ezio held a map of Vale to him. There were multiple red X's on the map, each one of them having a name next to each of them.
"We decided that now that we've lost our jobs, we'd be acting as assassins to earn us some proper profit so that we can get some new things in here. So I've taken the liberty of secretly paying informants that will notify me or Altair on any new bounties placed on the evildoers of this city."
"So Ruby and Altair are going after one of these bounties then?"
"Indeed."
Time Skip: 6:10pm, Another Part of the Vale Forest
"Shhh…" Altair said as he walked into some bushes and hid himself as two tribesmen were walking down the road. Ruby did the same but on the opposite side, and when the two guards were just in front of the two, they hopped out quickly, and killed them before leaving the bushes.
"So this is the place?" Ruby asked as they were greeted by a village that was surrounded by sharpened sticks that were jutting out of the ground. Altair was contemplating as to how they would enter the village, but Ruby suddenly motioned for him to follow her. He obeyed and the two walked along the sharpened stick fence until she suddenly ran up one of the hills. Altair did the same and saw how there was a tree that had one of its branches sticking over the fence, and they both hopped onto it before sneakily infiltrating the village. They both covered their noses as they were suddenly smacked by the disgusting smell of the village.
"I don't think today's sacrifice will be enough." They hid in some bushes as they saw another tribesman missing an arm and holding a small axe say to another tribesman. Ruby squeaked just a tiny bit, causing both tribesmen to turn to the bushes they were hiding in, but Altair suddenly hopped out and threw two throwing knives into each of the tribesmen, causing them to fall backwards with a blade protruding from their face. Altair then grabbed one of the tribesman's feet and pulled him into the bush, and Ruby soon copied what he did. They then walked out of the bush and saw how in the middle of the village was a great big pile of sticks.
"What the hell is this place anyways?" Altair asked as he suddenly turned to some cries for help and watched in horror as multiple men and women with multiple nicks and bruises were being hauled towards the pile. They were tied to a long stick that had multiple tribesmen carrying and looked as if they were all being crucified to said stick, although instead of nails, they were tied via rope.
"Alright, I'll try to find the target, you create a distraction." Altair said while Ruby frowned.
"Why do I have to be the distraction?"
"Think of it as a test for your assassin skills." Altair said as he left the bush while quietly moving from house to house. Ruby sighed as she continued to watch the event before her and shuddered as she realized that the men and women tied to the pole were being led to the pile of sticks, making her believe that there would be a bonfire that involved roasting human flesh.
'Alright, enough's enough I guess.' She thought to herself as she waited for the men and women tied to the pole scream for help while the tribesmen remained unfazed. Then. three men and a woman appeared, each of them dressed in something that resembled what Edward showed her about the Caribbean when he was ranting on how some parts of their history books were wrong. They resembled that of what she remembered was like a mixture of Aztec and Hawaiian clothing, along with face paint. The middle man however, seemed to have his face painted like a skull while his feather headdress reached all the way to his buttocks, which was only covered by a loincloth.
"Brothers! Sisters! Tonight is a sacred night, for we shall pay the blood sacrifice to the ones who have come before." The middle man, who she guessed was the tribe chief, yelled as the villagers cheered in response. Then appeared four men wearing red skull facepaint and were armed with either ornate wooden machetes, or metallic ones with the same design as their wooden counterparts.
"Not if I'm here." Ruby said as she pulled up her red hood to shadow her face. She activated Crescent Rose and prepared to dash forward, but she hesitated as the men didn't charge at her.
"We have no quarrel with you little girl, now let us continue our ceremony in peace." One of the apparent executioners said as they paid no attention to her. She grunted as she slammed Crescent Rose into the ground again and fired a shot straight at the executioner who had said that and the other tribesmen had their jaws dropped while turning back to her.
"Now you should see that I'm serious." Ruby said as the Tribes leader narrowed his eyes and pointed at her.
"Kill her! For she wishes to deny our chance to sacrifice to our beloved Juno!" The executioners (excluded the one with a partial amount of his chest missing) raised their weapons and charged at Ruby head on. She swung her scythe forward and already impaled one of the tribesmen on it and threw his body off as she lifted the scythe up and shot away from them to avoid a downward slice from one of the other executioners. Meanwhile Altair was still looking through each hut for their target.
"Where are you?" He asked himself as he entered another hut and rolled his eyes as there was a tribesmen and a woman engaging in… indecent things.
"Get the hell out!" Altair yelled startling both of them as he picked them both up and threw them outside of the hut. He rummaged through the hut for signs of his target and used eagle vision to see golden footsteps near one of the wicker chests. Upon opening it, he found an ornate wooden machete, a blowdart pipe and a piece of paper. He picked it up and read it out loud.
"Behind you." Altair's eyes suddenly widened as he felt something wrap around his neck and begin to strangle him. He struggled but managed to elbow his strangler in the stomach causing him to loosen up a bit, but quickly recovered and kept hold on his neck. Altair felt that he was losing breath quickly, and with a bit of quick thinking, he activated one of his hidden blades and thrust it towards him and stabbed his target's right hand. He then elbowed him away from his back and turned around to see the tribesman with a small axe that had decorations like tiny skulls and a few colored feathers attached to it by twine.
"Rah!" The tribesman yelled out as he charged and attempted to slash downwards with the axe. Altair easily blocked it with his hidden blades and pushed his target back before quickly drawing his sword. They clashed blades again, and pushed against each other to see who was stronger, but due to Altair's years of experience, he felt the tribesman pushing too far to the point where he would fall if he moved. He did so, and the tribesman stumbled forward as Altair slashed his back.
"Please, like I'd let some amateur like you kill me." Altair said as he charged at his target and slammed him with his shoulder and launched the tribesman through the hut. However, Altair halted himself as he saw the tribesman get up and hold a crystal ball towards him.
"Fall to your knees before me!" The tribesman yelled as Altair suddenly felt as if his head hurt. He took note of how the crystal ball was also shining an entrancing golden, causing him to shake his head and charged at the tribesman once more. When he did charge at him, the tribesman's eyes widened as he tried to hold up his one-handed axe in desperation of blocking Altair.
"How are you not under my control!?" He yelled as Altair grunted.
"Because I've dealt with that kind of thing before!" He replied as he used his sword to sever the tribesman's hand completely, but he ended up getting hit across the face with his axe. While his face was bleeding, Altair growled as he relentlessly slashed and attacked the tribesman, even while he was on the ground, and before he knew it, his target was a mangled mess, however, his head was still fine, allowing them to prove that the target was killed. Meanwhile, Ruby was fighting off more and more villagers that attempted to also 'sacrifice' the poor men and women near the pile of wood for a fire.
"How many of you guys do I have to take down before you stop!?" Ruby asked as she used the knockback of her shots to dash around the battlefield. The villagers seemed to be unending, while she knew that the tribesman leader was just watching from afar. Another tribesman tried to run at her, but she shot herself away from his attack once more, and with the same speed, shot right back at him and slammed her scythe into him so hard that it made him fly over the walls of the village.
"And here I thought you had things handled…" Altair said as he ran up behind two tribesmen and brought them both down with his hidden blades before running into the middle of the circle with Ruby's back to his. They both looked past their shoulders at each other before Ruby quickly swung her scythe from the right, causing the tribesmen within the vicinity of said scythe to jump back. However, she swung her scythe fully around, and Altair hopped up quickly and caught hold of it. The tribesmen had their eyes widened as she continued to spin until she had hit a full 360 degree spin before Altair let go and rocketed past some tribesmen that sidestepped. However, the unlucky ones ended up getting caught by his sword as he rocketed forward and when he let go of his sword and rolled to stop his speed, he quickly stood back up and saw how he had caught four tribesmen. Although his sword would've only been able to stab through at the most three men, the third and fourth happened to be somewhat anorexic.
"Nice job." Altair commented as two tribesmen charged at him with wooden machetes raised. He waited for one swing, and when the tribesman had made the mistake of not stopping before attempting to attack him, Altair slammed his hidden blade into the tribesman's face before pushing forward and slammed him into the ground. The other tribesman attempted to use the death of his buddy as a distraction and swung downwards at Altair, but he quickly ripped his hidden blades out before using his free hand to grab the tribesman's wooden machete and block it. He then broke the attack but stumbled a bit before receiving a light thrust to the stomach from the tribesman, his blood staining his white robes.
"I just had these fucking dry-cleaned too." Altair commented as he grabbed the machete with both hands and with his massive amount of strength, he raised it up before throwing it straight at the tribesman. The tribesman attempted to hit the wooden machete down, but he missed and ended up receiving said machete to his head. In his last moments he tried to slash at Altair one last time, but Altair grabbed the tribesman's wrist of the hand holding the machete before twisting it easily and stabbed the tribesman with his own machete.
"Know that you will pay for this." The tribesman said with his dying breath as he clutched onto Altair's shoulders, but the assassin sneered before pushing the tribesman off of him. Meanwhile, Ruby wasn't doing too bad, however the relentless amount of enemies was starting to tire her out. Two tribesmen charged at her and she heaved her scythe up once more to desperately try to block the two charges, but a sudden flash of white and the two bandits were falling to the side with a white hooded man on top of both of them.
"C'mon, we went through way tougher stuff than this." Altair mockingly said as Ruby stuck her tongue out at him in response, however there was a huff and the two turned to see a very muscular man approaching. The only thing about it was that he was missing an arm and was only armed with a somewhat larger axe with the same decorations as the other tribesmen.
"And now you shall also be sacrifices to our beloved Juno." The tribal leader said as the large man huffed once more before charging at Ruby. She raised her scythe to block it with ease, however, the man was gone in a flash and suddenly appeared in front of her and slammed his fist into her gut. She reeled forward as blood and saliva spat out of her mouth while Altair drop kicked the armless man from the left, but he simply pushed him away rather than doing any real damage.
"What the hell are you?" Altair asked the armless tribesman who merely snorted in response. He then felt something about to attack him from behind and ducked just as Ruby swung her scythe at him.
"Ruby?" He then turned as the tribal leader laughed.
"Ha, you can't reach her, for the poison has already reached her mind and now she thinks you're her enemy!" The tribal leader laughed as Altair began tried his best to keep down his sadist side. He wanted to completely maul the tribal leader and his lackey, but his priority was rescuing his recruit at the moment. He hopped back as Ruby swung once more, and he noticed how her usual silver eyes looked dead each time she swung relentlessly. Using eagle vision, he waited for the right moment before Ruby swung again and he used his superior strength to hold back Ruby's scythe, but he was beginning to already be pushed back.
"Dammit why won't you answer!?" Altair asked as he added more of his strength into pushing her back. However, he suddenly felt something grab his leg, and he fell face flat onto the ground as the one armed tribesman had sheathed his axe and had him by the leg. The tribesman however, had the disadvantage of being much taller than Altair, thus, when the assassin shoved both hidden blades into his one arm, he couldn't do much to defend.
"Argh!" The one-armed tribesman yelled out as Altair smirked as he ducked another one of Ruby's swings with the tribesman still in front of him. Due to the tribesman being concentrated on the pain in his only arm, he didn't realize that he was about to be hit with one of the most dangerous weapons ever created until it actually stabbed through his stomach. Altair laughed a bit before he turned to Ruby again and decided that enough was enough and that if he couldn't bring her out of her controlled state, he'd just have to beat it out of her.
"Alright, let's go recruit. Show me what you got." Altair said as Ruby didn't respond with words, but instead dashed forward and tried to slam her scythe downwards on Altair. He rolled out of the way and was flat on his belly as he grabbed one of Ruby's feet and pulled her to the ground. He pulled her closer while putting up with the fact that she was constantly kicking him in the face as he pulled. Soon enough, she was within his hold and he stood up while helping her up. He held on tightly to her with his hands on both her shoulders before gearing his leg back and thrust his knee into her stomach. She coughed violently in response and Altair grimaced but continued nonetheless. While she continued to cough but still maintained her dead eyes, he backhand slapped her hard across the face and she slid across the ground. He looked at her once more and the tribal leader still smiled darkly as Altair mercilessly beat his recruit in an attempt to knock some sense into her.
"Are you really going to let that old asshole keep you under his control!?" Altair yelled as Ruby attempted to get up and attack him, but he easily punched her hard in the face and slammed her into the ground with his fist still connected.
"You have a family to get back to, friends who care about you!" Altair said as memories also began to flow into his head. He shook it before clenching his teeth and he kicked her hard in the stomach while she was still on the ground and turned her over.
"People… who still love you." Altair said as an image of Maria, Abbas, and all of his old friends in Masyaf appear behind her as if they were holograms made by the apple. He then hugged Ruby as her eyes remained dead still due to the poison.
"Don't waste your life like I did mine." He said as he made a last ditch effort to make sure she didn't succumb to the poison. That effort, was make a somewhat deep cut into her stomach using his hidden blade. Not deep enough to make her guts fall out, but enough to make her bleed quite a bit. He then turned to the tribal leader who began to clap.
"Ignorant fools aren't we?" He said as Altair growled with his hood shadowing his face, but he looked even more menacing that before.
"You'll pay for what you've done to her." Altair said with no hint of emotion as he charged straight at the tribal leader, but the leader suddenly pulled out another apple of eden and threw Altair back with its power.
"You fool, don't you understand that you cannot face a power that not even I can control!?" The tribal leader asked as Altair cracked his neck.
"Oh, but I'm just getting started." Altair said as he charged at the tribal leader once more, but instead hit him directly and found him to not resist at all. However, he turned around and felt his face get kicked as four others of the same tribal leader were before him. He activated his hidden blades and charged at the fakes, with them also holding their own weapons which happened to be ornate but metal machetes.
"I'll find you easily!" Altair yelled as he turned on eagle vision and saw that three of the clones were red, but the one to his right and in the middle was golden. He attempted to charge straight at the original, however, the original threw down a smoke bomb, and since Altair couldn't activate eagle vision when he was running or fighting, he couldn't determine which one was the original as he suddenly felt himself getting hit on multiple sides by the clones due to the smoke bomb.
"You may have better skills and strength assassin, but you can't fight against those with the element of surprise so easily!" He heard through the smoke. Suddenly, he sensed another attack from behind and rolled out of the way before he attempted to run his way out of the smoke. However, the smoke dissipated to reveal even more clones than before, at a total count of ten in front of him, and another ten just behind him.
"You will submit to her!" The tribal leader said as the clones attempted to take down Altair. One of the clones landed a hit on his shoulder, but he grabbed the wrist of the clone and broke it before ripping the machete out of his shoulder and shoved it into the clone's stomach. Another clone attempted to attack him, but due to his leather shoulder pauldron taking most of the hit, he was able to muster his strength into slashing his sword towards the clone, and it soon disappeared in a small flash of golden light. Another clone attempted to slash his back, but Altair held his sword behind him as if he were going to throw it, and smirked as he felt force hit the blade.
"I will kill you!" Altair yelled out once more, his shoulder burning with pain, but he threw his sword upwards and brought the clone's blade up with his. He then elbowed the clone in the stomach before turning around and shoved his sword into the clone's throat. He soon felt himself being overwhelmed but sighed in relief as the rest of the clones began to disappear in flashes of light, leaving the tribal leader panting heavily.
"Too much for ya!?" Altair asked in between breaths but with a smile plastered on his face. However, this was a face of his withheld sadist side as he charged at the leader with his sword sheathed, but hidden blades extended. He jumped up and forward as the old man attempted to desperately block the attack with his arms, but Altair smiled widely as he felt his hidden blades stab into the tribal leader's neck.
"Rest in peace you cold son of a bi-!" Altair grunted as he clutched his shoulder, and although it somewhat relieved the pain he felt, his body was burning and aching all over due to the twenty versus one he had with the clones of the apple. He clenched his teeth as he raised himself up again and walked over to Ruby. She scared him a bit as her eyes were closed and she looked distressed, but he sighed in relief as he still felt a soft heartbeat when he pressed his fingers to her neck. Altair then picked her up and walked with her bridal style and limped slightly towards the exit of the forest.
An Hour Later, Assassin's Hideout/House
"BANG!"
The assassins currently within the house jumped up and ran over to the door with weapons raised as they had all heard someone or something crash through the door. They were greeted by the sight of a heavily wounded Altair, and a somewhat less damaged Ruby latched on his back.
"Clear the table!" Aveline yelled as everyone moved out of the way while Edward and Ezio picked up the two and carried them to the kitchen table.
"Would be nice if we could do medical operations on someplace where we don't eat." Edward grumbled as Yang slapped in the back of the head. Well, who wouldn't be worried if their little sister was wounded and there was an even more wounded man that had carried her home. Aveline quickly unlatched the armor Altair was wearing and Yang helped undress Ruby and didn't even worry about the other men present, who actually left the operating area to let them work without any distractions.
"Alright, Shao Jun help me with this!" Aveline yelled as the two quickly set to work on healing the two. Connor appeared with a medical supply kit and quickly pulled out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, and Aveline emptied it all over Altair's wounded body. She was then handed a roll of surgical thread and quickly set to work on sewing up his shoulder, and after about a minute, she was finished. She continued her work by sewing up any slash wounds he had received before moving on to completely bandage his shoulder with gauze.
"Done!" Aveline sighed as Shao Jun also finished up on healing Ruby. However, she felt her forehead and put the back of her palm up to her forehead and frowned.
"She's overheating." She said as suddenly Mars' hologram suddenly flashed out.
"This isn't good." Yang began to slightly sweat, which was abnormal in comparison to her usual personality.
"What isn't good!?" She asked as the hologram suddenly had many holographic screens appear in front of his face.
"She's under control of a dangerous poison that clouds the mind." He said as he continued to poke and move the holographic screens.
"Then cure it!" Mars hung his head in defeat.
"There is nothing I can do."
"What!?" All the members of the assassins suddenly stood up as Ruby looked distressed even while sleeping. Mars' eyes then widened.
"Wait!"
"What is it?" Yang asked as Mars quickly moved the screens around.
"There is a chance that we can save her, but it requires some brave soul to transfer their consciousness into my apple and salvage her mind." Mars replied as another apple of Eden materialized in between Ruby and Altair.
"I'll do it." Yang said as she reached over to the apple but Mars suddenly stopped her. Altair stirred and began to shake and move slightly although he was still unconscious.
"Do realize that if you cannot withstand the challenges within yourself and in Ruby then your mind set will be lost forever, and your body can only be used as worm food." Mars said as Yang rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, just let me help my sister!" Yang said as she slammed her hand down on the apple in between the two wounded assassins. However, Yang opened her eyes slowly as nothing had happened while Mars began to quickly type and move around the holographic screens in front of him.
"Oh no.." Mars said as everyone turned to him.
"What 'oh no"!?" Yang asked as the hologram pointed to the apple and they all looked to see a hand already on it. And that hand, belonged to the very mentor of Ruby who was currently unconscious as well.
"Buona fortuna (good fortune) Altair." Ezio muttered as he left the kitchen with no expression on his face.
"Jaysus…" Edward said as he covered his face with the palm of his hand while also walking out of the kitchen.
"Let's hope you're good as you say you are geezer." Connor commented as everyone else excluding Yang and Mars left the room.
-End-
A/N: Heheh, I'm a dick now aren't I? Just kidding, but I have to leave this on a cliff hanger due to the fact that the next chapter will be entirely on waking Ruby up. Now onto actual things that matter, I take back the thing about priorities. What does that mean? Well it means that instead of making people mad because I said that some of my stories would be on lower priority, meaning less chapters written for it, I actually work like this:
First two weeks or so: Rise of Team ACEE
Once Finished: Assassin of Gods
Once Finished a Chapter of the Above: Kill the True Assassins
What does this mean? It means that I'll be working on different stories unless I say to myself: "FUCK IT, I CAN ONLY WRITE FOR THIS STORY RIGHT NOW, SO I'M SWITCHING SHIT UP." So that's how its gonna be. Sound good? No? Fuck you.
Anyways, that's all for now.
-Have a terrible day!-
