The Man & The Moon
Chapter 3: Chapter3
Previous ChapterI get up and dressed, I walk down the stairs, make breakfast, turn on the TV, and then she comes down. "Your breakfast is on the table, I made pancakes and some fried eggs."
"Thank you Dax, where were you last night? we went into your room and didn't see you."
Crap, gotta keep her out of this"I was out for a walk, Ask Apple Jack, she tried to sneak up on me last night."
"Oh, we thought you had something to do with that scream we heard last night."
Crap can't catch a break. "I ran over to it only to find a fleeing mare and five dead bodies, I ran back toward the house as soon as I saw that. who would do such a thing?"
"We don't know, but we're glad it wasn't you. want to get back to inFAMOUS Second Son?" Luna said to change the subject.
"Sure, after you eat that breakfast I prepared." Yes, she fell for it.
"UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!! Fine." she ate the eggs first then the pancake. 20 seconds flat. "Now may we get back to the game?"
"Okay, I'm going to the bar. I've got a little meeting with some friends, and I'll be back at noon." I go out the door, go to the side of the house, climb up and get in my room. I then put on my gear and head to the bar.
"OI Dax, ovah here." said my newest recruit, he came with Ratonhnhaké:ton from their time. I found him wandering around the forest and was being attacked by timber wolves, then he found one of my hidden swords in the forest. He took down the wolves and did it with a good amount of skill. So, I recruited him.
"Hey Peter, where are the others?"
"On their way, wha did yah call us here fur?"
"You can stop the British accent, we aren't in the colonies, nor on earth. If you want to do your British accent, go to Rarity."
"Come on Dax, I like doing my accents."
"Not everyone is like you, some of us find it likable, but most of us completely dislike it."
Just then the others showed up. there are 11 of us. I'm the mentor (since I was picked by my past mentor to lead our order into Equestria and keep the Templars from taking this world), my brother is my second in command (he has been proven to be a good leader, so I assigned him to be in charge when I'm unable to), Ratonhnhaké:ton and the others are our team and they are like a family to us.
"Nice of you to join the party, I thought you'd been carried off." I said with a grin.
The others give a puzzled look at me, but Jeff knew what that was. He gave a mild chuckle. "Who me? No, I'm way to muscular for their taste, they wouldn't even know what to do with all this." He said doing the motions from the scene.
"They need toothpicks don't they?" We both just start laughing, not just at that, but at the dumfound faces of the other 9. "It's something from our time on Earth."
They all go "Oh!" simultaneously. leading to a little more laughing from me and Jeff.
"Now, you guys are probably wondering why I called you all here, the Templars are getting closer, bigger, and have 5 of their Pieces of Eden. Now we must hunt them harder, recruit more Assassins, and find the Pieces of Eden they brought with them."
They take a minute to process what I said, then they nod in grim silence. We all know what's at stake, we all know some of us won't return. "Now, I have managed to procure several Apples of Eden so we won't be without a means to defend our selves against their Pieces of Eden. You all must be prepared for what is to come, We will meet again in four days. Then, we will begin our mission. Remember: Nothing is true, Everything is permitted." with that, the group disperses out of the bar, except for me, Jeff, Connor, and Pete.
"When did you learn this?" Asked Jeff bluntly.
"Last night, I ran into a group of Templar ponies. I found a note on the lead one, they know where we are, they know about US, they have me, you, and Connor listed by name."
Jeff looks at me to see if I'm bullshitting with them, I'm not. "We have to be careful, I'm going to head back to my place and get my stuff ready. I recommend you three do the same."
I speak in Ratonhnhaké:ton's native tong. "You should get to you're place and pack up all your gear. Oh, and training starts early tomorrow, just a heads up."
"Many thanks friend." said Connor as he went back to his place.
I get boozed up and walk back over to my place only to find Luna right in front of the door with a worried expression, this quickly turns into annoyance. "You told us that you would be back near noon, it is 1:00PM. What happed to you?"
"Sorry Luna, I got rally drunk, and fell into a long ass conversation with my brother and the others that just wouldn't stop. I'll find some way to make it up to you, I promise."
"It's okay, you just worried us, We'll be in our room if you need us." she then goes up stairs and closes her door. She then gets on her laptop and gets back to writing a mush fanfics story for inFAMOUS Second Son between Fetch and Delson. I on the other hand, was preparing for the move on the Templars.
This was shaping up to be a rough week.
