Hi! Sorry about all these late updates. I've been writing and re-writing for a while, trying to bring in The Ones Who Came Before in this story. Anyways, I came up with this storyline where most of the members of the first civilization have been resurrected by Juno, who is still trapped in the web, transmitting herself from network to network. This chapter will miss our modern assassin as well, but from the next chapter he will be playing an active role in the story. Please leave reviews.
Juno growled with frustration. Her attempts were futile without Aita. He was almost successful in providing her with a proper vessel. Unfortunately his plans were thwarted by the Templars. They had shot Aita to death. It would be several more years till Aita's genetic codes would realign in another human body. She did not have time to wait for Aita. With the assassins driven to extinction and the Templars engrossed with their plans, she had the perfect opportunity to strike out her vengeance. All she needed was a body, a proper human body that was capable of holding her. It had all started before the Toba catastrophe. When they had learned of Earth's impending doom, they had attempted to store their bodies in vessels, powerful devices created to withstand the disaster. But they had failed. After millenias spent roaming the Earth, Juno had figured out how to store their bodies inside human beings, but man was still in the brink of civilization, their technology was hopelessly backwarded. Now, Abstergo had developed the animus device and with its use Juno had resurrected several members of the First civilization. They were using human bodies as transport. What she hadn't foreseen was the change in human bodies as they were controlled by her minions. They were faster, stronger and almost invulnerable to manmade weapons. Their cellular structure rebuilt quickly and wounds healed in seconds, intelligence was increased greatly. All in all, she had a powerful army, but she herself did not have a body. This is what she aimed to change.
She looked around the room, her minions were busy with work. They were attempting to locate human beings with strong ties to her civilization. However the Templars were doing the same thing, and they were highly resourceful. Her flow of thoughts were interrupted by a man who walked into the room. He looked at her digital projection with awe and continued.
"We have found a human from the bloodline of Eve. She might be able to contain you."
"No. We cannot move forward on a hunch. I need to be sure that this works. I need a body capable enough of wielding the Apple. Or else it might perish inside the temple. The apple is the key to my plans. I need to be sure that my vessel can use the apple properly."
"But that could take months, and we don-"
"I brought you back to life to obey my orders, not to question them. Now get out of here and find me an appropriate vessel." Juno said to the man.
He looked at her with panic stricken eyes, mumbled a quick apology and hurried out of the room.
Oh Aita, she wondered. He would be a relief to her. When she got her hands on an apple, she could use it to speed up his reincarnation. Together, they could control mankind all over again, just like they planned to. And this time, she would destroy the assassins and Templars in the process.
