Chapter 6: The Native, the Welsh, and the African Roomies
~Forever falls~
"You're an assassin?" Adewale said with intense curiosity. "Yes Adewale. I come from the earth just like you two," Conner informed the two very confused assassins. Edward stayed silent from the word 'grandson' but then shook his head and spoke. "Just who are you exactly?" Conner introduced himself again. "My name is Ratonhnhaké:ton Kenway. I am the master assassin of the colonial brotherhood. I am also from the year 1783."
Adewale tried to pronounce his name. "Rat-in-hawk~" "You can just call me Conner," the native interrupted. Both Edward and Adewale still tried to process that this man standing before them was from the future. Edward's curiosity was too great, and asked. "You claim to be of my blood, how? I have had no child."
Conner looked at the face of his kin and explained. "I am the son of Haytham Kenway, who is the son of the infamous pirate of the west indies, Edward Kenway. I was told by Juno that the timeline is being held together, so even though you were gone, my father was still born."
The jackdaw captain was astounded that he was not only a father (sort of,) but a grandfather as well (sort of,) despite not even having a child yet. Adewale spoke up. "You have had contact with one of the people who came before?" "Yes Juno informed me to tell you two that this world we walk on is in great danger, but she has not made it clear of what is to come. She told me that we are this worlds best chance of survival," Conner replied.
Adewale turned to his old captain. "Should we let Ozpin know of this?" he asked. "I think its best not to let him know of this danger, for it could cause panic, and we both know what panic can do for the grimm," Edward answered. Adewale agreed to his terms, and both caribbean assassins looked back at the colonial assassin. "Follow us mate. We will let Ozpin know of your arrival. I would also like to hear more about the future," Edward said.
As soon as the three assassins started walking to the others, a voice was heard. "Edward! Adewale! Where are you guys?!" Edward and Adewale instantly recognized the voice as Ruby's. The men saw four females coming from the trees, Ruby, Weiss , Pyrrha, and Glynda. "Are you guys ok?" Weiss asked with worry. Adewale answered. "We are fine Ruby, thanks to him." He pointed at Conner.
The four women looked at him. Pyrrha was about to say something, but Glynda stopped her. "Ms. Nikos, you and your friends go back to your teammates. I will deal with this matter," the teacher told them. Ruby, Weiss, Pyrrha did as instructed, and went back to their group. When she made sure they were gone, Glynda turned to the men. "Judging from his attire, I'm guessing he's also part of your little cult as well?" she asked.
Edward and Adewale nodded. Glynda sighed, and said. "Alright then come with me, you three. We are going to see Ozpin." After that was said, Glynda turned around and walked towards beacon. Edward and Adewale followed her, but Conner was hesitant to walk with them. Edward turned back to see the native, not moving an inch. "Don't worry Conner, Ozpin can help us with this situation," Edward told him. Conner nodded, trusting his grandfathers judgment, and followed.
~Ozpins office~
In the room, Ozpin Glynda, Edward, and Adewale all were listening to Conners story. Everything from, his mothers passing, meeting Achilles, killing off the Templars, finding out that his allies were the ones who burned his village, and even killing his own father. In the end, Glynda was on the verge of tears, even Ozpin tried his damness to hold a few back as well. But of all the shocked faces in the room, Edward had them all beat by a mile.
Edward dreaded that his future son, Haytham was not only a Templar, but the grandmaster Templar of the colonies. The worst part was that from what Conner said, about Haytham being a merciless killer of assassins, even willing to kill his own son. Edward couldn't say that he was any better than Haytham though, for he killed 9 assassins when he pretended to be Duncan. Not to mention the fact that Edward sold maps to their base of operations, leading to more casualties.
"Conner, I'm sorry for all you have lost mate," Adewale spoke. Conner responded. "Thank you for your condolence Adewale." As much as Conner hated to talk about his personal life, it felt different talking about it to the other assassins (Ozpin and Glynda were a different story though.) "Well Conner, do you know what brought you here in the first place, or can you not recall?" Ozpin asked, hoping to change this depressing subject.
Conner shook his head. The 3 assassins silently vowed not to tell the headmaster about this great danger, so there would be no worry for the time being. "All I know is that there was a flash on my ship, and I woke up in the middle of the forest a several days ago," Conner explained, leaving out Juno, not that he would understand anyways.
"Well in that case, would you be willing to attend my school? We will make sure you adjust here, and I'm sure these two will help you as well," Ozpin gestured at the two pirates. Edward and Adewale agreed to that, they were more than happy to help out a fellow assassin, especially since that assassin is one of their kin.
"Yes Ozpin I would like to attend," Conner answered, though he didn't have much of a choice other than go back to the woods. Ozpin smiled and replied. "Good, now I'll put in an order for new weapons and a uniform." Conner looked down at his tomahawk, and noticed that the handle is slightly cracked from the fights with the grimm. "Would you make something similar to my current equipment," Conner asked, giving his tomahawk to the coffee drinker.
Ozpin smirked. "Yes, I'll see what I can do" Ozpin took his tomahawk and examined it. While Ozpin was busy thinking up weapon ideas, Glynda spoke to the three. "You three may leave, please behave yourselves when on school grounds." The assassins nodded, stood up and left the in the elevator.
Glynda turned to Ozpin. "Sir, what are we going to do if they kill again?" Glynda looked down at her tablet, which showed the Buy n Go security footage of Edward and Adewale killing gang members. "Then we steal all footage like last time. Don't worry Glynda, there is no enemy here that they are at war with, no Templars, no slavers, and no tyrants. I'm sure they'll figure out that the only enemy they need to kill is the grimm," Ozpin said while submitting a weapon order on his scroll. Glynda rolled her eyes. "I hope so sir."
~Meanwhile~
The elevator doors slid open, and the three stepped out. "What are these teleporting doors called again?" Conner asked. "They are called elevators, they take you from one floor of the building to another," Adewale answered. Conner couldn't help but be amazed. Edward put a hand on Conner's shoulder. "If you think that's good, then you should try this amazing treat they have called ice cream."
"Now how about we retire to the dorms, it has been a long day after all," Adewale suggested. The Kenway's agreed, and all left for their dorm room. When they made it to their door, all were greeted by a certain little girl. "Guys your back, we were so worried about you." All three turned to see not only Ruby, but all of RWBY and JNPR in the hallway.
Did you guys get in trouble with Ozpin?" Jaune asked. Adewale answered. "No we did not. We were simply called to show around our new friend." Adewale gestured at Conner. RWBY and JNPR looked at Conner with interest. Conner, not knowing what to do introduced himself. "Greetings my name is Conner Kenway."
Blake spoke up. "Are you related to Edward by any chance?" Conner and Edward looked at each other. The native wasn't exactly sure how to explain about the whole grandson situation. "He is my cousin. His village resides on the other side of Nassau," Edward quickly added. He turned to Conner and gave him a look that said "play along." If there was one thing Edward was good at, it was lying on the spot, he is a pirate after all.
"Nice to meet you Conner. I'm Ruby Rose, the leader of team RWBY," the hooded girl said. The two shook hands, and then the rest greeted Conner as well. "So Conner, what were you doing at forever falls?" Pyrrha asked. Conner was a little bit nervous to answer, but thankfully Edward had another lie loaded. "He sometimes wanders, hunting the grimm. It's a bit of a fun sport for us."
"That's a little bit reckless don't you think?" Weiss questioned. Adewale replied. "It is a good way to hone your skills, and fun none the less." Weiss nodded in agreement. Edward checked the time on his scroll, it was currently 7:31p.m. After the field trip, grimm slaughter, and his grandsons long depressing story, he just wants to retire to his bed.
"As much as I would love to talk more with you lads, I must rest. It has been a long day after all," Edward excused himself to his room ad the other two assassins followed. "Goodnight guys," Nora shouted, and the teams went to their rooms except for Jaune, who left for the balcony, with Pyrrha following after him.
When the trio entered the room, they instantly noticed a third bed in between Edward and Adewale's beds. The pirates instantly new that this had to be Ozpin's doing. "Is this center one mine?" the colonial assassin asked. "Yes Conner it is," Adewale told him. Conner made his way to the bed, and gently sat down. He noticed that it was much more comfortable than the beds in the homestead.
"Conner…" Edward got his attention "I might regret this but could you tell us more about your time? Maybe even more about us?" Conner was hesitant to tell them about their future. Achilles told stories about the two standing before him. He was even told of their passing's, which he wasn't sure if he should speak of. Then again since they were brought here, that means they don't have to go trough whatever the future held for them. So it was technically ok that they know what happens.
Conner started with Adewale's future from what Achilles told him. How he was a feared assassin in both the west indies and the colonies. That many considered him the living heart of the creed, but was sadly wounded by a rogue assassin and killed by Haytham.
Adewale was a bit saddened, not because he died cause that's a risk he took when he joined the brotherhood. He was saddened cause it was his best friends own son that ended his life. Edward was also heartbroken that his son would do such a thing to his faithful friend. Adewale saved his life and turned him to the brotherhood when he felt like he had nothing left. The very thought of his son killing him sickened him.
"I'm sorry mate," Edward put a hand on the africans shoulder to comfort. Adewale smiled and replied. "It's ok brother. It hasn't happened yet, and it my never happen since I am here." Edward and Conner nodded at his words.
Then it was Edwards future that Conner told next. Edward learned that he eventually leaves the west indies to lend aid to the british brotherhood. He eventually leads them and becomes a father, but dies protecting his wife and son from criminals. Edward stayed silent from his future, but knows that this must've been why haytham turned out the way he did. He must've been influenced by Templars while he was still young.
Conner expressed his condolences to both assassins about their future. Adewale and Edward thanked him and all three left for their beds to sleep the night away.
End of chapter
Thanks for reading my chapter. Also before you say anything, I have played AC Rogue and know that it was Shay who killed Adewale but I figured: make Haytham seem worse than he is. Don't get me wrong I loved Haytham's character in the Kenway Saga I just think he can be a bit of a dick at some points in 3 and rogue
Anyways be on the look out for Ch 11 of the Conduit of Remnant
