A month and a half later, all the Assassins on Inagua gathered in the manor on the island. Ah Tabai told the Assassins, "A ship with the Templar cross on it is on its way to this island. The British Navy had probably sent them to investigate. Why investigate? A month ago, three Assassins killed a Templar who was the first mate on a British Navy Brig."
"The Templar ship will be arriving in less than a week, and we don't know how many Templars are aboard that ship! We must prepare to defend the island," Ah Tabai pointed at David and a few other Assassins. "David, Kylie, Abraham and Miguel, ask around the settlements for pirates or anyone else who will volunteer to defend the island. Our numbers may be too little. The rest of you, prepare for the ship!"
The four people asked around the island for volunteers to help defend the island. For three days they did so, and they returned to the manor with twelve volunteers. Ah Tabai was not contented with the number of volunteers. "The volunteers are too little, I think. But twelve is better than none. The ship is about two days away. They will join the Assassins to train."
Two days later in the early morning, everyone on the island stayed home, as they knew the ship was arriving. Ah Tabai had assigned David, Kylie, Abraham and two other Assassins to engage the Templars first. The two other Assassins were Ronald and Mark. The five Assassins hid in the tavern that was located by the waters.
A scouting party of three Templars got off the Templar ship and scanned the area. David whispered to his teammates, "I think we should take out the scouting party when they cannot be seen from the ship and don their uniforms. The three in the uniforms will take Kylie and one Assassin back to the ship as 'prisoners' before we take them all by surprise."
The four Assassins nodded in agreement. Abraham volunteered to be the Assassin who would wait with Kylie. David, Ronald and Mark waited for the scouting party to vanish from the ship's sight before taking them out. Taking the scouting party's bodies away, the trio donned the Templar uniforms. They walked slowly around the island before going to the tavern.
"Look what we've got here!" David announced loudly. "Take them back to the ship!" Ronald and Mark took Kylie and Abraham back to the ship.
David bowed to the Captain of the Templar ship. "Sir, we found two people in the tavern. No one else was found." The Captain examined the two captives. "Dump the guy into the sea. The lassie will stay with me. It can get quite lonely out at sea!"
Kylie spat on the Captain's boots. "You are a dirty Captain. I wouldn't want to do anything with you!" The Captain laughed. "A daring woman, I like it! But on this ship, I'm the boss, so you'll listen to me, or die."
The Captain took Kylie away. David, Ronald and Mark pretended to kill Abraham and throw him into the sea. They waited for two minutes before Abraham signalled that he was ready. Then the ambush began.
"Die, you Templars!" shouted David as he brought out his Hidden Blade, killing the nearest Templar swiftly. That signalled the beginning of their ambush. Inside the Captain's quarters, Kylie heard David and ejected her Hidden Blade, slashing the Captain's throat. "Not in this lifetime, you dirty scum," she muttered as she exited the quarters.
Unsheathing his sword, David knocked the second Templar with the flat side of the sword before slashing him across the chest with the Hidden Blade. David heard a Templar sneaking up from behind and turned around, only to see the Templar get shot by a round from Mark's Queen Anne pistol. David engaged a Templar Sergeant on the ship. They parried each others strikes, one, two, before David thrust his Hidden Blade upwards into the Templar Sergeant's heart.
David saw Abraham fighting three Templars, and Abraham was not doing too well – he was tiring and was already slightly wounded. Pulling out his Brown Bess, David aimed and fired at one of the Templars battling Abraham. David spun and whacked a rushing Templar in the forehead, knocking him unconscious. He crouched and plunged his Hidden Blade into the Templar's stomach.
The battle seemed to stop when everyone on the ship saw the Assassins and twelve volunteers from the manor charging towards the ship. The first mate took action and yelled, "Sail ho!"
No way, David thought as he pulled out his Queen Anne pistol and shot the ship's wheel. The first mate raised both hands into the air and backed off, but Ronald thrust his Hidden Blade into the back of the first mate, killing him.
Within two minutes, the defenders had won. Most of the Templars on the ship had been killed and the remainder had surrendered. Ah Tabai told everyone, "Do not kill the surrendered Templars. Perhaps we can get information out of them." A few Assassins then tied up the surrendered Templars and brought them away.
