A/N: These are REAL events that happened in Assassin's Creed II for the Xbox 360. Just… what Ezio says is what I said, responding to the weirdness… And they've been changed into story form, to give a good background. ^-^

The Dead Can't Fight Back

"And son, please, don't get into trouble, hmm?" Giovanni asked Ezio as he handed his middle son some documents.

Ezio nodded and left the Palazzo. He shrugged, deciding to take his time to get to the three objectives, then began running around on random stuff. Lots of energy to burn… Madre's cooking is so good, but it's fattening too.

"Hey… Don't I know you?"

Well shit. A Pazzi. Ezio ignored the Pazzi and began to walk away.

The three Pazzi yelled and ran after Ezio.

Ezio began to sprint, really not feeling like fighting, but he turned around and fought when one of the three caught up with him. His fists flew as they degraded the three men to whimpering boys, licking their wounds as they rolled around on the ground. Ezio, being short of money, decided to take the money they had, ignoring the spectators who had gathered around.

"Well, the dead can't fight back, eh?" A spectator stepped forward and growled at Ezio.

He looked up, confused, and glared at the man. "They're not dead!"
