Chapter 2
Spike emerged from the hay bail, looking around for Rainbow Dash.
"RAINBOW?" Spike asked. A hand shot out from behind him, pulling him into the shadows and the figure putting a hand over his mouth.
"Quiet Spike," Rainbow said, "Do you want us to get caught?"
"Well sorry for not knowing where you were," Spike retorted.
"Come on, there's a tunnel that lead to one of our safe houses nearby," Rainbow said, walking deeper into the ally way Spike was pulled into.
"Rainbow hold on for just a second okay?"
"No Spike," Rainbow said, "You're a wanted criminal, we don't have any time to waist."
"Can you at least explain to me this whole assassin business?" Spike asked.
"The assassins have been around for centuries, starting with the first of our order, Star Swirl the bearded," Rainbow started.
"STAR SWIRL WAS AN ASSASSIN?!"
"Shut up," Rainbow said, placing her hand over spikes mouth, "And yes, he was an assassin, the first assassin, and he taught the first initiates in the way of stealth."
Coming to the end of an ally, Rainbow motioned to the side of a wall.
"What am I supposed to be seeing, it's just a wall," Spike said.
"Concentrate," Rainbow said, "Don't look with your eyes, look with your other senses, then you will see what only an assassin can see."
Listening to her, Spike concentrated. Almost instantly, everything took a light blue almost white hue. On the wall was an odd symbol that looked like a raindrop.
"What the hell is that?" Spike asked.
"That, Spike, is the symbol of our creed." Rainbow then walked to the wall and pressed one of the bricks. The wall then moved back slightly and slid down into the ground. Walking down the staircase, with Spike following Rainbow, the wall slid back into place.
"So, what exactly was that?" Spike asked.
"Eagle Vision," Rainbow replied, "It's a sort of sixth sense that everyone possesses, however, only certain can truly access it."
"I'm guessing I'm one of those people?"
"Yes, and Spike," Rainbow said, stopping at the bottom of the stairs.
"Yeah?"
"Welcome to the Brotherhood."
Spike walked past Rainbow into the room before him, well more like a barracks, with all the weapons, and how big the room was.
"This is a safe-house?" Spike asked.
"Yeah, considering it's so close to a Templar base, we had to make it this big," Rainbow replied.
Spike then walked towards a rack on the wall with a bunch of swords on it. On in particular stood out to him. It was a cutlass. Picking up the blade, Spike gave it a few swings. It felt just right in his hand. However, he felt as if something was missing. Looking at his other hand, Spike picked up another cutlass. It felt so natural for him to hold the two blades, they just felt right.
"I guess you already found your main weapon," Rainbow said.
"They just feel so natural," Spike said, putting the blades back.
"Take em."
"What?"
"Take em," Rainbow repeated, "If the feel natural to you, then they're yours." Rainbow then handed him a belt with two leather straps to hold the blades.
Spike put on the belt then attached the cutlasses. He felt more at ease with the blades on his person.
"Come on, this way," Rainbow said, motioning for Spike to follow her. Coming to a door, Spike used his Eagle Vision and saw the assassins symbol on it as well. How ever, it was bigger this time, labeling this door as something important. Walking into the room, Spike saw six individuals, all wearing white robes. Walking up with Rainbow, they stopped in the middle.
"I take it you have brought us a new initiate, Rainbow Dash?" Asked one of the robbed figures.
"Yes, I have," Rainbow then pointed to Spike, "This is Spike, adopted son of Princess Celestia, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar."
Upon hearing this new information on the woman he had seen as a mother his whole life, had a look of shock on his face. Celestia was a Templar?
"You bring the child of our enemy into our sacred halls," Asked another robbed figure, "Please tell us why."
"He was framed for the death of one of our greatest assassins Rarity," Rainbow said.
Now Rarity was an assassin? What the hell is going on?!
"He has vowed that he would avenge her death, and has agreed to become an assassin."
The robbed figures talked among themselves for a moment.
"Spike, we have decided that we will allow you into the assassins as an apprentice, once you have proven yourself, you will then take the oath of the creed."
Who will his master?" Rainbow asked.
"You shall take up the mantle as his master, Rainbow Dash," said another of the figures.
"So, when do we start?" asked Spike.
"Your training starts as soon as you pass through those doors."
Looking back at the doors Rainbow and him passed through, Spike gets a determined look. Time to start his time as an assassin.
And there's chapter two. Now, I have actually thought ahead on this for once and the cutlass thing will actually come around again. IN the next chapter, we will see a bit of Spike's training under Rainbow Dash in the ways of the Assassins, but will lead up to a short time skip to his initiation. But until next time.
