Chapter 1

Well here we are this is where it all began, how Shooting Star and Creed got to where they are today. The prequel to Animus, since I have been doing Animus, this has been in my head. So I messaged the Author of Creed and asked a couple of questions (Some not accurate, no offence pred) but I am finally ready to start, now its in the MLP section for now. It will be in the crossover soon. I am also going to be introducing Shooting Stars parents and mentor Faith Breed. BTW remember to like, favourite, follow and review please review. so enjoy. I don't own My Little Pony or Assassins Creed. If I did there will be a season with assassin ponies.

Eight miles from Manehatten is an old castle, to normal ponies this doesn't have any value whatsoever. But this is home to a special group of ponies who are known as Assassins. What are Assassins, you may ask? They are an organisation who have been around before even princess Celestia was crowned. They fight for peace but there are a group who stand in their way. The Templars. They are horrible ponies who want to rule Equestria covering it up with this talk of 'a perfect world' so now the Assassins fight for freedom as well as peace. And one pony was excited today as it was time for him to join the ranks of Assassins. This is where our story begins.

Inside the guild was a young colt who was 6 years of age walking through the halls of the castle, His species is the most extrodinary. He is an alicorn, his coat is yellow and the ends of his wings are cobalt blue, his mane and tail are white and his eyes are onyx black. His name is Shooting Star and today was a good day. As he was making his way to the cafeteria, he ran into two master assassins who waved at him which he returned. The regulars knew him since Shooting Star has been in the brotherhood ever since he was born because his parents had to take care of mentor Faith Breed, the leader of the Assassins as she is very old. Speaking of his parents he saw two ponies in the cafeteria. The first one is a pegasus with a yellow coat and a white mane and sky blue eyes, her name is Stardust. She is a legend in pegasus history, she used to be captain of the wonderbolts and pulled off the original sonic rainboom. She is also the fastest pegasus in Equestria. The other pony is a unicorn with a cobalt blue coat and a hazelnut mane and amber eyes. He is called Blazing Star. He used to be Princess Celestias student, both of them had to quit their jobs for a number of reasons, they were Assassins, Stardust was pregnant with Shooting Star and they had to take care of Faith Breed. They both have the same cutie mark as everypony else in this place. The mark of the Assassins. And they had white robes on.

Shooting Star didn't have a cutie mark since he is pretty young, but he is going to get it. He flew over to his parents.

"Hi mommy, hi daddy." Shooting Star greeted, hugging his mom.

"Hi son." Blazing Star smiled. "Have you been studying your magic and practising your flying?"

Since his parents were great in magic and flying, Shooting Star has wanted to be just like his parents. His wing power is 10.6. It may not be much but for somepony his age it is remarkable. Plus he is past levels of magic that are meant for full grown ponies.

"Aye dad, I was able to lift a boulder today." Shooting Star boasted, his head held high.

"Wow, a boulder?" Stardust asked, her eyes wide with shock. "Theres no doubt your ready for your training to be one of us now."

"Oh wow, you mean it? I get to train now?" The little alicorn yelled, bouncing up and down.

"Okay, okay calm down." Stardust chuckled. "There are going to be new recruits coming in today. You can join them, Faith Breed says your ready. But for now let's get some breakfast."

"Okay, let's go!" Shooting Star flew to a table, his parents following him.

Okay, Blazing Star and Shooting Star have a huge common interest: Food. Both of them were inhaling bowl after bowl with Stardust just shaking her head at her family, she only had cereal. After breakfast they went to the training area where they were greeted by an old Alicorn who had a white coat and a mane which was gray with age, she has blue eyes which shined with wisdom and happiness. She wore black robes, She is Faith Breed, Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood.

"Ah hello, Child." Faith Breed greeted. "Are you ready to begin your training?"

"Yes, ma'm." Shooting Star chirped. That's when he noticed another colt who looks his age and is an earth pony, he has a white coat, black mane and brown eyes and just like him, this pony doesn't have a cutie mark.

"Mentor, who's this colt by your side?" Blazing Star asked.

"Ah, glad you asked." Faith Breed replied. "This is Creed, he is also going to start training today. So if you two would like to join the other recruits." Gesturing to other ponies who were marveling at the architecture of the guild.

"Mentor, are you sure it's a good idea to let Creed train?" Stardust asked, looking at her son and the new colt walking to the group.

"He has proven that he can start training, I know he is young but he has a strong will besides, his parents died because of the templars." Faith Breed replied.

Over to the recruits, they noticed Shooting Star and Creed walking over to them and this got the mares attention.

"Aaaaawwwww." one mare gushed, holding Shooting Star. "He's soooo adorable, What's a little pony like you doing here?"

"I live here." Shooting Star replied, shocking all the recruits and Creed.

"How the heck does HE live here?" Creed thought, but before he could say anything Faith Breed stepped onto a balcony to address the recruits with Stardust and Blazing Star by her side.

"Hello, my little ponies." she began. "Today you have chosen to join our Brotherood. You have to remember that when you join it's not just a career but your life. We fight for freedom and peace but the templars are getting stronger each day and are getting closer to their goal. But we will never let that happen, our ancestors did the same thing and we will not fail them. Remember, Nothing is true, Everything is permitted." With that she flew down to teach them what to do.

"Excuse me, mentor?" a stallion pegasus raised his hoof. "There appears to be a couple of foals lost."

Shooting Star and Creed looked REALLY annoyed by that comment, sure they are very young but they are more than capable of taking care of themselves.

"That's my son your talking about buddy." Stardust stated, flying down to the recruits whilst Blazing Star teleported down.

"S-s-s-stardust? The legend herself?" the pegasus stuttered, not believing his eyes.

"No way, is it really her?"

"I heard she was dead."

"That colt does look like her."

"Okay enough." Faith Breed commanded, eager to get the lesson started. "Now the first thing to being an Assassin is to learn how to fend for yourself, but before you even touch the weapons, you have to use your hooves. Because if your weapons get lost in combat, you need something else to fight with, ideally your hoof to hoof combat. Now can Shooting Star and... leaf string please enter the ring so I can see your abilities, magic is allowed although Shooting Star? Try to keep it down please."

The recruits were confused, Faith Breed knew this colt? Regardless the one named Leaf String walked over to the ring where Shooting Star was already, doing some stretches to warm up. This pony was nervous for some reason, he's only a colt right? He got into a stance whilst Shooting Star did the same his wings opened showing his heritage while all the recruits mouths just dropped.

"He's an alicorn?" Creed thought. "I thought you have to be a mentor or royalty to be one."

"Okay ready? FIGHT!" Blazing Star announced,

Leaf String immediately charged to the small colt but just as he was about to land a punch Shooting Star disappeared behind him.

"C'mon sir that was like a feather falling to me." Shooting Star taunted.

"So using teleportation spells huh?" Leaf String grinned, but his grin faded when Shooting Star gave a confused look.

"No, I don't know teleportation yet I just flew around you." He explained.

"Okay then let's see your speed Try to get you out of my spells." Leaf String bragged, his horn glowing before melting in the shadows. To all the recruits eyes it looked like Shooting Star doesn't have a chance but were suprised to see his eyes glowing then he picked up Leaf String from the Shadows using a levitation spell. Said pony was completely baffled.

"B-but how? You couldn't even see me."

Shooting Star smirked. "Eagle vision, really comes in handy but not as handy as your defeat will be after I'm done with you." He started delivering kicks, punches and headbutts and then deciding enough is enough he carried him out of the ring and placed him on the ground walking over to the awestruck ponies.

"That wasn't even a challenge." Shooting Star boasted.

"As you can see." Faith Breed began. "Leaf String relied on his magic to win and Shooting Star has an abilty which Altair, Ezio and Connor possessed which is known as 'Eagle Vision' it let's you have your senses more in tuned than a normal pony so that was a downbeat for Leaf String, as for the fighting well I guess he get's it from his parents. Now the reason I called Shooting Star up because I know he doesn't rely on his magic to win his battles since his dad taught him how to fight. Now I know some of you know how to use your hooves so your going to be paired up with each other for 6 months until I know your ready to use weapons, for pegasi you may want to train your wings since the missions your going on may be far away."

So she began listing off pairings until she got to the last ones.

"Annnd finally, because they are the youngest Creed and Shooting Star, all of you will be sharing rooms so please go to them and unpack then you can all start training." Faith Breed explained.

So all the recruits walked over to their new home whilst Shooting Star decided to talk to his new partner.

"Hi I'm Shooting Star I hope we can be great friends." The bouncy alicorn said.

"I'm not here to make friends." Creed replied. "I'm here to train so those templars will die by my hoof. They will pay for what they did to my parents."

"Wow, your really grumpy."

"WHAT? I'M NOT GRUMPY!"

"Really why are you shouting then?"

"THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

As the two argued eventually turning into a spar, Stardust, Blazing Star and Faith Breed were looking at the two with amused smiles on their faces.

"Hey mentor?" Stardust began. "Creed looks famaliar, do I know him?"

"You knew his parents." Faith Breed replied. "Who were Quarry and String Orienette."

"Wow really?" Blazing Star said, really bewildered. "Well guess you were right about training him."

Faith Breed nodded. "Yes, I have a feeling those two will help us achieve what our ancestors couldn't."

"You really think so mentor?"

"Only time will tell."

*6 months later*

As the two colts started training that day, they knew that 6 months will no doubt be difficult but over the months they have gotten closer and with a week left before they are allowed to go on missions they are not letting a minute go to waste.

And chapter 1 is finished, so what did you guys think remember to review and expect chapter 6 of Animus very soon just to clarify Shooting Star is 6 when he started and Creed is 5 when he started, also Shooting Star isn't fat he has a high metabolism. He's like a... saiyan yea thats a good explaination a saiyan. But for now Safety and Peace and may the gods of budder protect you.
