Chapter 3 - Assassin
I woke up on my bed. My family was quiet. Zaiko was crying silently today while we were eating breakfast. He's been like that since that day 2 weeks ago. I'm still confused about everything. The whole mansion was still unexplored. I'm in charge because I'm the oldest also because I saved everyone. I didn't demand much. Just that I get privacy and that no one ventures beyond the giant hallway for I wanted to see it first. I'm now going to explore down the hallway. I went down and I seen a huge door with a lock on it. I got a skinny piece of wood from the floor and stuck it in the keyhole. The door opened. The room was made of gold and showed statues of men and women with hoods. I went to the statue and read the description. 'Sheihei Taishu, the 1st Japanese-born Assassin. Creator of Japanese Assassin Brotherhood in 1508.'. Assassin? What is that. I then read every statue. Then I seen an Assassin outfit on the ceiling. I threw a knife at it and it fell from the ceiling along with a sword, 2 gauntlets, throwing knives, a pistol, machete, and the Armor of Sheihei Taishu.
"What does all this mean?" I asked myself
The golden sword that fell from the ceiling started glowing. I grabbed it then...
Kenzo grabbed the sword and a ghost appeared. He called himself Susano'o of the Japanese gods. He told Kenzo that he is apart of the First Civilization. Knowing of Kenzo's ignorance about him along with the Assassin's and Templars, Susano'o told Kenzo all of it. Starting with the story of Aquilus, a roman assassin, to the present day.
"Who is this Brian?"
"Someone well beyond your time"
"Can you tell me about Shyeena"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because you must seek this information. Prepare for travel. You are going to go to Rome, Italy where your fathers 1st safe house is. You will find all of his equipment including a hidden gun, hook blade, bombs, a musket, and the Armor of Ezio Auditore." Susano'o then faded away. Kenzo then put on the armor and equipment he had.
Following upon this message from Susano'o, Kenzo, who's Italian name was Giordania, departed Osaka, Japan. He said bye to his family and took Neil with him trying to induct him to the Assassin's Creed. The journey to Italy was long. It took him 2 years and 7 months to get there. A 21 year old Kenzo grew a beard which he hoped to shave once he found an inn in Rome.
"Chao, Giordania! You finally made it! Sorry about your father. Requiesto in Pace Takeo"
"Takeo?"
"Si, arrivaderci, that's what he's called here in Roma."
"His old hideout is in Gaia St. I made sure it was untouched for 2 years waiting your arrival"
"Grazie"
Kenzo and Neil went to the safe house that wasn't used for decades. But someone has broken in! The window was broken and you can hear footprints. Kenzo activated his Taishu Vision (an extended version of eagle vision that's only accessible through the Taishu bloodline.", and he seen Shyeena. He then tacked her holding a hidden blade to her neck.
"Do not move or else you'll die!"
"You wouldn't kill me, I know you'll never hurt me"
"Your right. I hate killing women and at some point you were my girlfriend so it makes it worse. What a mess. Anywho my Assassin responsibilities come first so I'll kill you if you don't cooperate!"
"I know you'll try every trick around the box to get me to talk. But I refuse."
"Fine then I'll have to force you to talk" Kenzo said then kissed Shyeena on the lips.
"Satisfied? Now talk! Starting from when you stabbed me 2 years ago!"
"Tell me Kenzo, are you an Assassin?"
"No!"
"Then why wear the robes?"
"I'm simply here to find answers about whats happened in my life!"
"Tell me, do you have any regrets."
"Si, why ask"
"To make sense"
"I wish I wouldn't act on impulse so blindly. I regret losing conscious so easily after you stabbed me if I tailed you then...then... I regret not being able to make it in time to save Mom and Dad. I regret what I did after my family escaped. Instead of helping them I let them suffer. I let Zaiko cry to himself everyday. I REGRET... I REGRET BEING SO WEAK!"
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"Making sense"
They both stood in that position for 2 minutes.
Neil got impatient.
"Bro I know you like being on top of Shyeena with a blade pointed to her neck but we have to get a move on."
"Shut up" Both Kenzo and Shyeena yelled at the same time.
"Well then, I shall be getting my armor from the hideout."
Kenzo got the new equipment and re-equipped himself.
Kenzo noticed his money of 8,925 grand was gone and Shyeena was gone.
"YOU BITCH!" Kenzo said punching the wall.
Present Day
I was pulled out of the simulation. Dr. Davis and Warren Vidic told me to go to my room and rest.
