Assassin's Creed:
Alliance Chapter 9
"You've gone completely insane!" Quemar exclaimed.
Ratonhnhaké ton stood in the center of the central chamber of the Assassin hideout. Ratonhnhaké ton took the berating from the Council with silence.
"We trusted you to apprehend Arno, not side with him!" Beylier said scornfully.
"With respect; Council, you said nothing about my restrictions on handling Corbett. I feel Arno is my only chance."
"I trusted you to handle this like a professional," Quemar scolded. "I trusted you when the rest lost hope in you. This is how you repay that trust? By siding with the enemy?"
"Arno is not your enemy, Corbett is. Or have you lost that notion." Ratonhnhaké ton challenged.
"Don't speak to me of who the enemy is. I am well aware of Corbett's standing in the conflict but to challenge him is to court chaos! We've barely anyone left, we cannot afford to go to war to end your vendetta!" Quemar said.
"So don't. Don't go to war. I will finish this." Ratonhnhaké ton said as he turned to leave.
"Connor!" Quemar growled. "You walk through that threshold, we will hunt you to the ends of the earth."
Ratonhnhaké ton turned back and smiled. "I have friends back home who'd enjoy that."
Ratonhnhaké ton walked through the hallway and out of the hideout. The Council stood motionless for a time, not a word was spoken. Quemar's face was beet red with anger. Trenet turned to him.
"You shouldn't have let him go." she said.
Quemar sighed. "You, Sophie, are welcome to try to stop him."
Trenet scoffed. "You are a coward, Herve."
Quemar put his head on the railing exhaustively. "I know."

"How did it go?" Arno asked.
Ratonhnhaké ton looked at him a sarcastic look.
"That bad?" Arno sighed. "I guess this means we can expect no help?"
"We need to go over the plan." Ratonhnhaké ton said.
"We enter the fort through the sewage system under Ecole Militaire."
"If we are accurate, we might end up right in Corbett's quarters." Ratonhnhaké ton said.
"If not, we fight our way to him." Arno finished.
As they moved down the street, they soon found themselves surrounded by Templar agents. They all seemed to know what they were planning, the timing was impeccable.
"Where you going?" their leader, a middle aged man with several scars on his face asked.
Arno stepped forward. "I was on my way to see your mere. (mother.)"
The leader exclaimed and lunged forward with a drawn sword, Arno sidestepped the blade and sent his wrist-blade into the man's jaw. Ratonhnhaké ton drew his axe and flintlock and rushed to meet several of them, in seconds they were dead in a spray of blood.
Arno cut down another one and looked at Ratonhnhaké ton with a huge grin, then he collapsed to the street, clutching his shoulder. Ratonhnhaké ton looked up at the roof of a building and saw two snipers, one reloading and another aiming at Ratonhnhaké ton's head.
Ratonhnhaké ton rushed forward and swiftly climbed the building. He reached the roof where one of the snipers attempted to kick him off. Ratonhnhaké ton grabbed the man's foot and tossed him to the street below. The man screamed all the way down before it was cut off by a sickening crunch.
The other sniper was still reloading his musket. As Ratonhnhaké ton pulled himself onto the roof, the sniper abandoned the reloading and began swinging the rifle like a club. Ratonhnhaké ton dodged several blows before bashing into the man, sending him flying off the roof.
Ratonhnhaké ton climbed down onto the street where Arno sat still clutching his shoulder.
"I told you, stupidity will get you killed." he said.
Arno laughed, then winced again. "You've earned the right to say 'I told you so.'"
Ratonhnhaké ton helped Arno up. "We need to reach Elcore Militaire by sundown or we miss our opportunity. Let's go."
Ratonhnhaké ton moved off down the street with Arno close behind, still favoring his left shoulder.
