Assassins in High School

Hello peoples before we begin I just want to say this is out of my comfort zone a little. This fic is a high school fic and they are all humans with Equestrian traits (i.e still have wings and magic, they still eat pony foods because I can't make them eat meat it feels wrong.) This is a different turn to BTTR as Shooting Star managed to complete his master assassin mission meaning he never met Twilight and the events of Animus never took place. This a mix between colonial times and a little bit of modern tech (Lights, hospital equipment) but gun wise its just pistols and muskets, also there cutie marks are on their right hands. Sorry for rambling enjoy.

I don't own AC or MLP, also don't own Creed or Faith Breed. I do own Shooting Star, Stardust and Blazing Star.

In an old castle eight miles from manehatten (Still keeping with the pony countries may change to human countries when I can't think of a pony version of it) we see two boys sitting on one of the balconies.

One was an Alicorn, you were able to tell because he had a magic symbol on his left hand that all magic users are born with. He had golden blond hair that was unkept and messy, he has eyes that are green like emeralds and he had wings which were golden yellow with cobalt blue at the ends. His name is Shooting Star.

Next to him was an earth human (A human version of Earth pony) he has messy black hair and chocolate brown eyes. His name is Stonewall Creed, although he asks people to call him Creed.

Both of them were gazing at Lunas moon, taking in it's beauty.

"How you feeling?" Creed asked.

"Excited but... I'm a little nervous too." Shooting Star replied.

They were talking about Shooting Stars Master Assassin mission, which is going to be taking place tomorrow. Both of them weren't in their robes right now they were wearing white button up shirts both V-Necks. Shooting Star was wearing Dark Brown trousers and Brown boots. Creed had Black trousers and Jet Black boots on.

"Think about it." Creed began. "Your gonna be a Master Assassin."

Shooting Star rolled his eyes. "Now now Creed let's wait and see, well we might as well get some rest we have a long day ahead of us."

"Si (Yes)." Creed nodded. "Your right let's go."

So they went to their room and fell asleep.

*Next morning*

Shooting Star opened his eyes and was greeted with the chirping of birds. Groaning to himself, he got up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes and went to the bathroom, checking himself in the mirror he noticed a light beard growing. Sighing he took the razor and shaving cream out and started to shave. If there was one thing he got from his father apart from the magic and the blue on his wings and love of food it was being an early bloomer. Nicking himself he cursed under his breath, it didn't hurt as he has taking much more painful stuff like a stake in the gut.

After his shave he started to brush his teeth thinking what his mission is. Hearing a noise he turned around to see Creed standing there, done with his teeth he went to the bedroom that they shared and put on his shirt, he kept his trousers on during the night since they were comfy he opened his closet and saw his robes. He smiled at the memory of getting them, he was 13 and it was three years after he and Creed was admitted into the brotherhood as full Assassins and he went on a personal quest to Amareica to find the shrine to Connor Kenway. It took him a year to find it and he had to go through daring trials to get to it. But he did get the tree climbing ability from all the trees he had to climb but it was worth it in the end.

The robes were black with red accents and the armour was light and tough underneath. Putting on his boots he grabbed the robes and put them on, he then looked at his weapons. He put on the hidden blades and tested them out, he got Connors weapons with the robes so he got 2 hidden blades, he slinged on his bow and his quiver. He then equipped his tomahawk and throwing knives and sheathed his sword. He also put his dual pistols in there holsters. Almost forgetting about his gloves he slipped on a pair of light brown fingerless gloves.

Looking over he saw Creed in his robes. They were personally made for him by Faith Breed when they were admitted. The robes are white with a red trim to it, he also wears a silk half cape which is red on the top side and white on the lower side, he had a black and red trimmed tri-horned hat on as well.

They went down to the cafeteria and they saw the other Assassins already there. Both of them have gotten the greatest respect from the others as they are the youngest Assassins ever and soon to be Master Assassins. Looking over they saw three people at the head table. One was old with white hair and blue eyes which shone with wisdom and kindness. She wore Black robes. She is Faith Breed, mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood.

Sitting next to her were two people. One was a woman who has Golden blond hair tied in a loose ponytail (LOL?) she has Sky blue eyes and wears white robes and her wings are also Blonde. Her name is Stardust, ex-captain of the wonderbolts and the fastest flier in Equestria and Shooting Stars mother. The other was a man who has Cobalt Blue, messy hair and Amber eyes. and wears white robes, he also has the magic symbol on his left hand. He is Blazing Star, ex-student of Princess Celestia and Shooting Stars father.

Shooting Star and Creed both made their way to the table and took a seat. They saw their food on the table already so the others must have gotten it for them. Shooting Star wasted no time digging in whilst Creed looked at him in disgust. 11 Years they have been in training in this Brotherhood, he is 16 and Shooting Star is 17 and Creed STILL hasn't gotten used to his friends eating habits.

"Now Shooting Star, if your still listening I'm going to tell you your mission." Faith Breed said.

Shooting Stars head snapped up. "Aye Mentor, I'm listening."

"Okay now listen carefully." Faith Breed began. "Your mission is in Canterlot, there is a Templar captain there called Granger. He is corrupting the guards with false ideals, if he succeeds then the royal guards will be puppets for the Templars so you must eliminate him. If you succeed you will be a Master Assassin."

"Yes Mentor it will be done." Shooting Star declared.

"Be careful son, this is gonna be the most hardest job you have ever done." Blazing Star explained.

"Okay dad, I will be careful."

"Very well then Shooting Star you may go when your ready." Faith Breed stated.

Shooting Star nodded and quickly ate his breakfast, much to the amusement of the other Assassins. Done with it he made his way to his bed and went under it and pulled out a chest. He opened it and pulled out a silver ball, he got this in Altairs library in Canterlot when he and Creed were sent to retrieve it. The apple made his eyes turn green, Faith Breed thinks that he has a connection with it since his eyes are no longer Onyx black, he sometimes takes it with him as a lucky charm.

Happy with his finding he took to the roof and opened his wings and took sail to Canterlot, as he got there he wondered where to go first because he needed a plan. Remembering what Faith Breed said about him corrupting guards he figured that would be a good place to start, going into the plaza he saw a couple of guards in deep conversation. He hid within a crowd and listened in.

"Hey did you hear about the new guy?" One guard asked.

"You mean the one who keeps guards around him 24/7?" The other one replied.

"Yeah, it's like he is scared someone is going to kill him or something."

"Heh." The other one chuckled. "Like those robed people he keeps on talking about?"

"Yeah." His friend agrees. "Load of rubbish huh? Like there isn't a single group Celestia doesn't know about."

Shooting Star broke from the crowd and thought about his first strategy.

"Hmmmm, those guards Granger keeps round much also be Templars if there keeping HIM safe." Shooting Star mused. "I know that Celestia doesn't do that for her new guards, I must be cautious then when going to him."

He decided to climb a building to get a better view of his surroundings. Getting up it wasn't hard at all since he has been doing this ever since he was 6. Looking around at the top of the building he noticed one person carrying a letter and he also noticed that the person was wearing the royal crest of his shirt so he guessed that guy was the royal messenger.

Smirking to himself he dropped down with a leap of faith into a bale of hay and started walking towards the messenger and made it look like a bump but he actually swiped the letter. Muttering an apology to the messenger, he quickly went to an alleyway and read the letter.

Dear Granger,

As you know, I have been informed of your accusation of there being a threat, I would like to hear more so come meet me at the plaza in excatly 20 minutes. Don't be late.

Sincerly,

Shining Armour.

Shooting Star was beaming with happiness now, this was too good to be true. Quickly putting the letter back to it's owner he went to a cafe and ordered water where he thought his plan.

"Hmmmmmmmm" He thought. "Should I be sneaky and try to kill him with stealth or should I charge in like a maniac."

It seemed he was in his mind longer than he thought because he saw 2 men coming in the plaza . One had white hair and had guards behind him, he also noticed he had wings one him and had he Templar cross dangling from his neck. This must be Granger. The other man had royal guard armour on and the captain crest on him. He also had blue/purplish hair and blue eyes. He is Shining Armour, captain of the royal guard.

Whilst Shooting Star was listening to them talk, mostly Granger explaining about how 'bad' the Assassins are, he was twirling his tomahawk for slight amusement while trying to find an oppurtunity. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore.

"Yolo." He grinned. He got up and advanced towards the Templar, Granger finally noticing him.

"Well well well." He began in a Germane accent. "Is your Mentor getting desperate now, sending teenagers to do her dirty work? I suppose you want my life."

"You know me too well Templar." Shooting Star smirked. Shining Armour readied himself sensing things were gonna turn bloody.

"Then I won't go down that easy, kill him." Granger ordered drawing his sword.

Shooting Star wasted no time charging in. One guard tried to slice him but he deflected it with his tomahawk and hit him in the face a couple of times before cutting his neck with the hidden blade.

One grabbed Shooting Star whilst another tried to stab him, but the alicorn headbutted the guard holding him to let go and dodged to the side so the other guard took the blow. He then shot the guard who tried to stab him with his pistol.

Turning round he saw Shining Armour standing there sword in hand.

"So there is a threat?" He growled. "Then I'll make sure to end it." and he charged.

Shooting Star meanwhile sheathed his weapons and bared his fists. If he killed the captain of the royal guard then that would make Celestia hunt him down and possibly the brotherhood. So he quickly rolled out the way and thought of something to take out Shining Armour.

Shining Armour swung his sword at the young Assassin but was shocked when he deflected it and grabbed his sword away. He tried to find a substitute but found himself on the ground and a hidden blade pointed at his neck.

Shining Armour was sweating now and closed his eyes, waiting for death.

"Goodbye world." He thought. "Mom, Dad, Twily, Cadance. I love you all."

But he was confused when he realised that he was still alive, opening his eyes he saw Shooting Star walking away from him.

"Hey I-I'm still alive?" He asked.

Shooting Star turned around.

"Killing you would break one of the tennants of my creed, besides you have nothing to do with this so you live."

He focused his eyes on Granger now, who was gritting his teeth in rage. He then heard a noise behind him.

"Assassin over here!" It roared. Shooting Star turned around and saw the last guard holding a woman with black hair, struggling to get free. He saw that her cutie mark was an octave.

The crowd was terrified now, whilst one was trying to get to the woman and save her but she was held back.

"Octavia, No!" her friend yelled.

"Let me go!" The woman, now known as Octavia demanded but instantly stopped when she felt a blade pressed against her neck. Eyes wide and pupils dilated, she stopped squirming for her own safety.

"Your choice Assassin." The Templar guard sneered. "One wrong move and this woman dies." Earning him a gasp of shock from the crowd.

Shooting Star was now gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to stand down, for Octavias life.

"Well done helmet." Granger clapped. "Even the mightiest of heroes back down when there is a damsel in distress." Going forward he continued. "Stay still Assassin I'll make this quick and painless."

Shooting kept his eye on the guard and just when Granger was going to stab him, he took out a knife and threw it at the guards chest killing him. Octavia broke free and ran to the crowd, and was now hugging her friend.

"Why won't you surrender?" Granger yelled.

"I never learned how to." Shooting Star replied. He saw Granger running away and gave chase. He knew that the Templar was using the crowd to get away, so Shooting Star went to some platforms to get a clearer view and was on his tail. The crowd was now screaming and running in different directions. Eventually they were out of Canterlot and near the Everfree forest where they were standing facing each other.

"No where to run now Granger." Shooting Star pointed out. But was confused when Granger started laughing.

"Oh now Assassin, I think my allies will say differently." He smirked before Shooting Star felt pain in his wings, yelling in pain he saw another guard with a bloody knife and he managed to get a huge cut on his wings. The guard was joined by more.

"Dammit an ambush." Shooting Star thought. "I should have known he would do something like that." There was too much for him, he knew he had only one chance. He quickly conjured up a flare spell blinding everyone around him and quickly passed through.

"GET HIM!" Granger roared. The guards gave chase to the young Assassin, going to a large hill Shooting Star was thinking to himself.

"If I go down there it might not end well for me." Looking around, his frown turned upside down when he saw a small part of the forest to his left. Wasting no time he darted over there and climbed up a tree and waited there.

Sure enough the guards went into the forest to accompanied by their captain.

"He is around here find him!" Granger commanded. They tried to look for him but the forest was dark and his black robes blended right in with the shadows. Activating his eagle vision so he can see them better, he decided to have a little fun he free-ran from tree to tree and took out a rope dart and was right underneath a guard. Spinning it around and throwing it, he hanged the guard from the branch and quickly went up the branch before anyone noticed. Taking out his bow and summoned an arrow with magic he shot a couple of more guards and leapt to another branch.

The last guard was scared and screamed. "WHERE ARE YOU?"

Hanging upside down from a branch he whispered. "Here." Before the guard could react he quickly swiped at him with his tomahawk killing him. Dropping down he stood before Granger.

"Y-you will not get away with this I'll kill you!" He roared. Rolling his eyes he ran up to Granger and plunged his hidden blade into his neck.

"Rest now, my friend. You don't have to suffer anymore. Your schemes are at an end."

"Hehe, tell me Assassin do you feel something is missing, like a PIECE of a puzzle?"

Shooting Star was confused for a second, then his eyes widened when he reached for his apple. Only to realise it wasn't there anymore.

"What have you done with it?" SHooting Star yelled.

"Our spies saw you have the apple for a long time and I knew you would bring it with you." Granger explained. "So my guards cut your wings to distract you and also so you can't fly to them. Face it Assassin you have... lost." Granger chuckled before closing his eyes and took his last breath.

"May you find what you were searching for. Rest in Peace." Shooting Star recited. He ripped the Templar cross necklace from his neck. Realising he isn't flying back he put two of his fingers to his forehead and teleported outside of the brotherhood. He realised it was almost evening.

"Wow." Shooting Star thought. "How long was I gone?"

He went into the brotherhood and was greeted by his mom showering him with kisses and hugs.

"Oh my baby, your okay." Stardust gushed. She wasn't always this worried, maybe it was because it was his biggest mission yet.

Faith Breed, Blazing Star and Creed also joined them. The Assassins in the area turned their heads in curiousity.

"Well Shooting Star." Faith Breed began. "Did you succeed?"

Shooting Star held up the Templar necklace earning him a gasp of shock from the others.

"Granger is no more, and his plan for the royal guards is gone." Shooting Star explained.

"Holy Celestia you actually did it." Creed said in awe.

"Congratulations Son, your a Master Assassin now." Blazing Star beamed. His son was the highest rank of Assassin now and only at 17 years old.

"Thanks dad but I can't celebrate just yet."

"Why son?"

"One of the guards got the apple I was guarding, I need you to track the guards who have it."

Faith Breed nodded. "Very well then Shooting Star, I will let you know when we have them tracked."

"But first young man." Stardust began. "Let's go fix your wings up."

"But mom I'm fine." Shooting Star whined.

"No buts c'mon." Stardust retorted. Grabbing her sons ear and dragging him to the medical bay with him saying 'ow'. Getting a couple of giggles from the female Assassins.

"You okay Creed?" Blazing Star asked.

"Yeah." Creed replied. "Just shocked he actually did it."

Blazing Star winked. "Don't worry Creed, you will be at his rank soon."

"Your right." Creed nodded. "I will just keep training then." He ran off leaving Faith Breed and Blazing Star behind.

"Son your ancestors would be proud of you." Blazing Star smiled.

"Indeed." Faith Breed nodded. "Well Blazing Star we have some tracking to do."

"Yes." Blazing Star replied. "Let's go."

Times were great right now. But Shooting Star can't rest yet, the Templars have a piece of edan and he has to get it back... Somehow.

And that is Chapter 1, now I'm twisting the map of Equestria (For chapter 2 you will see later) but for now favourite, follow review.

Safety and Peace and may the gods of budder protect you.
