"No Please! Let me through! Please! I need to see them! Don't do this princess! I beg of you don't do this!" Screamed Rainbow Dash as the guards surged forward to block her from sight.
Everypony in ponyville had attended the public hanging of Scotaloo and Spitfire, for reasons of 'high treason agains the royal ensemble'.
"Mommy! Please help!" Shouted Scootaloo as she struggled against the ropes binding her two front hooves. Spitfire was crying silently as the guards tied the noose around her neck. After some struggling, the guard finally managed to wrap the noose around her too.
Everypony was silent and stoic, nopony wanted to see a little filly die but it was princess law, so they all had to abide. Some cried, still others were quiet.
Ezio looked on this sight with growing fury. He knew that nobody should ever have to suffer this, nopony should ever have to see their family killed before their eyes. Images flashed in his head of his own families demise. He moved through the crowd until he was at the forefront. Eagerly he awaited the moment when he would spring into action.
"Ahem" Spoke Mayor Mare, "Scotaloo and Spitfire Dash; you have been tried and convicted of high treason by her Majesty Queen Celesetia the 3rd." She stopped for a minute. Everypony knew that those were trumped up charges, the real reason was that the Queen wanted to humiliate Rainbow after she beat her in a race, performing the fabled 'sonic rainboom'.
"Mommy please!" Said Scotaloo tears streaming down her face as the guard made his way over to the lever holding up the trapdoor underneath them.
"I'm coming baby! Celestia dammit lemme go!" She screamed at the guards impassively holding her back. There was nothing she could do. She watched as the head executioner made his ways slowly, deliberately towards the only thing keeping her family from the jaws of death.
Ezio knew the time was coming. He checked his pistols; they clicked satisfyingly. He would have to have perfect aim if he was to pull this off.
The guard made his way over. Suddenly mourning trumpets sounded. Ezio knew it was his time. The guard pulled the lever.
Ezio reared back onto his hindlegs and shot both pistols, cutting the ropes as the two mares descended. They would have had their necks broken if it wasn't for the stranger's act of selflessness. Ezio lunged for the nearest guard and extended his hidden blades, driving deep into the guards neck. Before the royal guard had time to react, Ezio had turned around and shot a fast acting poison dart into another guard just a few feet away reaching for his mallet. It hit him in the eye. As he started screaming the singer started singing.
deep in the ocean, dead and cast away. My innocence is burned, in flame.
Ezio spun around barely missing a guard who had taken the initiative and had swung his rapier. As the guard withdrew, Ezio lunged forward, driving his sword deep into the guards right shoulder. The guard screamed and reared back on his hindlegs. Ezio took this opportunity to get right underneath the stallion and slice upwards, cutting the guards jugular open.
[i
]A million miles from home I'm walking ahead.
I'm frozen to the bones, I am a soldier on my own, I don't know the way.
I'm riding up the heights, of shame.
The royal guards began shifting into high gear. Ezio shouted as he drove his hidden blades into an unwary guards spine. "Rainbow! Take your family and run! Now!" Rainbow Dash snapped out of her stupor and ran towards her wife and foal, scooping up Scotaloo on her back. Spitfire was shouting encouragement and was battling off some of the guards with hard bucks to the faces. They ran as soon as Scotaloo was secure. The hanging platform was now a scene of madness, citizens screaming and scurrying to get out of the way of the battle. Ezio ducked, very narrowly missing an axe as it whistled over his head. Acting quickly, he took out his short sword and thrust it into the guards exposed underside. He pulled out viscously and grabbed a nearby guard who was beginning to swing his axe in a downward arch. He grabbed the guards left front hoof and twisted, the stallion reared up on his hindlegs like Ezio expected. He quickly got behind the stallion's still reared form and directed him into an oncoming thrust from a mallet from his peer. Ezio felt the blow through the stallion as it hit his pony shield.
The guards were beginning to surround Ezio now, they began pouring in from all directions.
I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest. I'm ready for the fight.
And fate.
Ezio felt an arrow narrowly miss his left shoulder as he sidestepped a guards attempt to thrust with a short dagger forwards. He saw the marksman stallion notch another arrow. Not waiting for him to do so, Ezio reached back into his belt and pulled out a throwing knife, flinging the small blade towards the fighter. It sailed through the air and found it's mark. The stallion screamed and died as it pierced his forehead. As quickly as he fell, another markstallion took his place.
Merda
Ezio cursed as he knew he was being surrounded. He secret weapon then and there. He took out the apple of eden and focused all of his concentration into the glowing golden ball. It sent out a massive disorienting shockwave. Right then and there stallions began falling left and right. Some just died while others began spouting gibberish. He took the opportunity to sneak away via sewer system. He sighed. "Mission accomplished." He said to himself.

Desmond heard voices.
"He's going into a comma! Quickly! Get me the 50 cc of Adrenaline." One voice shouted, his voice gruff and unfamiliar.
"Are you nuts? That's going to kill him!" Shouted another distinctively familiar voice.
"It's our best chance! Get him the adrenaline! Go!" Shouted an achingly familiar female voice.
Desmond's mind couldn't handle it.
"He's slipping! Hurry!" Shouted the first male voice.
"Wait, let him! He's managed to unlock a deeper memory! Something stored deep in the back of Ezio's unconsciousness." Shouted another females voice. It sounded tomboyish.
"If we let him slip again we may never see him again!" Said the first female. Desmond felt himself slowly being overcome with sleep.
"Well anyway, we've lost him. It's up to god now." Said the second male voice. Growing distant.
Desmond slept. Next Chapter: Sequence 1 Estimated time remaining: 10 Minutes
