Ezio then talks to Izumi while on route to Venice " do you remember the time when we first met ? "
Izumi then looks at the young assassin " yes why ? something on your mind ? "
For a few minutes Ezio remains silent before apologizing " sorry I been so ignorant about my father's work I just did not understand the meaning behind it , well now I do. "
Izumi puts a hand on his chest " no don't be , this is a hard life and you must also had a hard past...I herd from Mario about the death of your father and brothers , by the hand of treachery. But the truth is Assassins had existed for thousands of years in the east as a form of ninja and samurai clans I am a descendant of one of those clans the Hayabusa ninja clan , This is more than just protecting the people a lot more , we are guardians.."
" I do not understand what do you mean by we are guardians. "
" Ezio you will someday , you should really finish your father's work its only then after we are free , but that is only for you a guardian's work is never finished. " Izumi responds.
" So why are you here "
" to seek refuge , I need allies right now I lack the strength to fight back at the Templars that had taken our country they call themselves the Black Fang and now as we speak they are slowly gaining power and expanding their influence. "
" and your family. "
" We were scattered when we were driven out of the country those who fraught back were killed. "
" Tell me about them "
" there will be a time for that Ezio "
Izumi then looks into the sky thinking about her clan the people in the Hayabusa ninja clan (( Master Ninja : Jô Hayabusa, Ryu Hayabusa | Head Ninja : Omitsu (Head of childcare) | Greater Ninja : Genjiro | Ninja : Hayabusa Ninjas, Keiko | Orphan Children : Sakura, Hanamaru, Denroku, Sanji | Shrine Maiden : Kureha (deceased), Momiji...
" I will find my family and bring back the brotherhood along with my ninja clan. " )
Izumi and Ezio then arrive in Venice were given a brief tour of the city by Alvise da Vilandino, before Ezio began to seek a way into the Palazzo della Seta of Emilio Barbarigo, although this effort initially proved to be in vain. Ezio is then pushed aside when a group of thieves attempted and failed to breach the Palazzo leading Ezio to aid the thief Rosa, who had been shot through the leg with an arrow.
Ezio then makes his escape from the city guards but did not get far forcing him to put Rosa down in a safe location and fight back at the guards. The Fight again draws the attention of Izumi who was nearby and she dispatches the guards with her shuriken before dropping down to Ezio.
" Ezio there is another crisis here a Templar plot of some sort , I done some scouting in the area it seems , the plot, perfected over four years, was successful the name of another Templar conspirator is Carlo Grimaldi. A government official and member of the Council of Ten, Carlo was close to Giovanni Mocenigo, the Doge of Venice, and hoped to turn him to the Templar cause.
Shall we investigate ? "
" Yes , we are assassins "
After successfully escaping the city guards, Ezio and Izumi are introduced to the leader of the Venetian Thieves' Guild, Antonio de Magianis, and together they concocted a new plot to kill Emilio Barbarigo and liberate the merchant district. Ezio then overhears another meeting between Rodrigo and Carlo.
Ezio uncovered a plot to poison the Doge and replace him with Marco Barbarigo. Realizing the urgency Ezio returns to Antonio and Izumi. Izumi seeks to join Ezio but he refuses for this mission may be too dangerous for Izumi. Ezio and Antonio then sought a way into the Palazzo Ducale, examining the front gates, the rear walls and even passing over the Basilica di San Marco; but they were hampered at every turn.
As they returned to the piazza below, an enraged Antonio remarked that only birds could get into the Doge's palace, reminding Ezio of Leonardo's flying machine, which he had seen on the way to Forlì. After a somewhat unsuccessful test flight.
Izumi looks at Ezio after he returns " maybe I should do this , for one thing I am younger and smaller than you are so there for less weight we are all fighting for the same thing the fragile life and peace of humankind besides you are not the only one risking your life so am I , let me help besides I used a glider before. "
Ezio is a bit reluctant but eventually agrees , Izumi then looks at the map of the city " In order for us to get to that Palazzo fires must be lit to create heat under the glider and must be done throughout the city mainly in these locations. Furthermore because this is similar to a raid there will be archers on the rooftops Ezio I need you to remove them and the thieves guild can light the fires. "
" Izumi ? are you sure you up for this ? "
" Yes for a number of reasons , One most likely think that the Japanese assassins are destroyed or rather purged. Second I may not look like it to you but I am really a master assassin , normally it takes years of training but I obtain it in a short time that is the meaning behind my name , during training my masters told me i shown great promise and when I was ready I chosen my family name it means spring falcon, the instant all the fires are lit I will take to the air. "
Izumi , Ezio , and Antonio then proceed to put their plan into action. After removing the city guards at four separate locations, Antonio's thieves proceeded to light massive bonfires throughout the city, giving Leonardo's flying machine enough lift for Izumi to make it to the Palazzo Ducale. The plan worked, and she was able to breach the Palazzo Ducale arriving just in time. Doge was just about to take a drink from a cup laced with poison. Seeing that it did not give her enough time time to get close to the Doge she quickly drew one of her kunais and threw it at the cup the Doge was holding knocking it out of his hand.
The Doge then turns to see a rather younger looking assassin wearing a black robe. Carlo quickly fled the scene crying out that a assassin is inside attempting to kill the Doge. Izumi gives chase and attacks plunging her ninjaken into Carlo's chest killing him. Izumi is then surrounded by the Palazzo guards when the Doge shows up.
" Why did you try to kill me assassin ? "
" there has been a misunderstanding , I just saved your life the drink is poisoned I speak the truth "
After a short time of tension among the group the Doge told his men to stand down. " I offer you my thanks " the Doge finally said.
Izumi remains silent and climbs up a nearby wall to rejoin Ezio at the point where she was told to meet him. " It is done Carlo is dead and the Doge is saved. "
