A small group of friends decide to become Assassins to fight back.

2. Flashback 2037- The Fall of a Nation

CHAPTER TWO

"Flashback 2037- The Fall Of A Nation"

This Chaos we now deal with began in 2037.

Three short years ago.
It started with simple things not too uncommon, like gasoline shortages.

The problem here was that the world leaders knew we were running out, but they tried to cover that fact up as long as possible.

After the gasoline, then they announced a Lithium shortage. That makes chargeable batteries. Pretty damn important for people in 2037.

It only got worse and worse over time. After more minor things like gas and lithium, came more major things.

Steel. Wood. Coal. Stone. All these things that are crucial to a civilization started to go on shortage.

Then eventually food went on shortage. Due to that, stores raised food prices.

They went out of business because of that.

Every day that passed America got closer and closer to the status of Third World- as did all the other countries of the world.

Then it truly began.

The collapse of the United States.

The government finally acknowledged the shortage of all crucial resources.

Chaos. That was all.

People going insane. Running around with rifles shooting at police.

Then they declared Martial Law on the whole country, with National Guard occupying the streets of most major towns.

But then something most people thought impossible happened.

A group of civilians overpowered the national guard and took control of new York city, and holding their ground well. Men guarding the bridges. Snipers atop skyscrapers. These men claimed to be Templars.

That name stung in my mind at that time. I didn't quite know why.

Then I remembered that game my dad showed me.

Then I remembered who and what he Templar Order was.

And that if they were real- They had to be stopped.

They killed the innocents of New York, looking for something. They are looking for something. I still three years later don't know what it is, but lucky for me they don't seem to have found it.

They've certainly widened their search however.

Now that the Templars control all of the United States.

I hope you enjoyed this continuation of the prologue. I felt it to be important to explain the fall of the US Government and the rise of the Templars, as this whole story revolves around the Templars controlling America. I am going to do one more flashback chapter before advancing to the present setting of 2040. The next and final Flashback will entail the rise of the Assassin Order.

Stay Tuned.
