Requiescat In Pace
Chapter 3: Sequence 2
Previous Chapter[tapping sounds] "....I don't get it...it....where have I heard that name before? Celestia?" Said Rebecca's brooding voice.
"Hmm.......Celestia...Celestia......Rebecca, can we see the memory in progress?" Asked Shaun.
"Yeah of course just let me bring it up now." She replied.
[tapping noises]
================================================================================
Ezio continued to clime the dome, placing hoof over hoof and occasionally hook over hoof. "MMf! Almost there." He said to himself as he saw the clear blue skye beginning to replace the brown and walls of the building.
The vantage point was like any other, it was a rough triangular structure supported by a small arch attached to the building. Ezio shimmied his way over to the vantage point and took a low standing position.
"Oh merda." He said in quiet awe as he took in his surroundings. The lands surrounding him were completely new. He could see farmland off to his right, apple trees and tilled earth dotted the hills. To his left he saw a road leading to a forest in the distance. Facing forward he saw a small city of houses and houses and shops as well as a long road leading to a great expanse of forest and nothingness. He also noticed a small city of cloud hovering just outside the rows of houses and shops, it looked like it was a floating city.
-------------------------------------
"Oh my god." A voice reverberated through the simulation. Spoke the englishman in an almost hushed voice.
"What? Shaun what is it?" Asked Rebecca.
"How is this possible?! He...he...he oh sweet mother of god." Spoke Shaun, from the strain in his voice Desmond guessed that the man was freaking out.
"SHAUN! What...is it." Roared Rebecca silencing Shaun.
"Ahem well...how do I phrase this? Oh man oh man.......Rebecca.....Ezio is in a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." The englishman's tone was low as if he was trying to calm a wild beast.
Desmond heard Rebecca laugh. "Okay...Okay...that was funny....but seriously where is he and are those.....horses?!?" She asked completely oblivious to Shaun's statement.
"Rebecca believe me I find it hard that this is even possible but right now Desmond is going through a memory, a memory either the Animus is forcefully integrating or a memory Ezio repressed but I can tell that he is in Equestria.
"Wait a minute Shaun Equestria? Hold on a second......are you a brony?" She asked, Desmond heard the evil mirth in her voice.
"What? No! Of...of course I'm not a brony don't be silly!" Desmond could tell he was panicking.
"Of course! Hey Bill guess what? Shaun's a brony!" She called out, Desmond could hear footsteps and laughter.
"Well now isn't that quite the surprise? Anyway what have you two found?" Bill's tone switched from laughing to serious.
"Well Shaun says that Ezio is in Equestria." Desmond could tell that Rebecca was still laughing.
"Okay shut up this is serious, I would know Ponyville anywhere on the map. See here! Right now Ezio is on a building called Sugarcube corner!" Shaun spoke with excitement bubbling through his voice.
"Alright alright settle down brony, we believe you. Anyway your 'insight' could come in handy if your right." Spoke Rebecca putting particular emphasize on 'insight'.
"Oh ha ha very funny Rebecca, I don't make fun of you when you watch Powerpuff Girls now do I?" He spoke in a condescening voice.
"Oh I know you did not go there!" He heard crashing and banging quickly accompanied by a yelp of pain.
"Alright settle down you two! Let's just keep our eyes out for any further development." Shouted Bill over the din of a fight.
=========================================================================
Ezio stayed above the town for a little while longer before taking the leap of faith. He plummeted down into a haystack a few inches away from the storefront. "Hmmm...I may need to find some new allies." He muttered to himself as he made his way through the crowds.
"I can help." Spoke a woman's voice off to his left. He looked around with his peripheral vision before spotting a cloaked mare keeping perfect time with him.
"Who might you be?" He spoke in a hushed tone. She looked into his eyes, he saw her for the first time. She had azure blue eyes and from what he could tell of the strands of hair and skin showing through the patched grey cloak, he could tell she was pink all over. "My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and your's is Ezio Auditore Da Firenze am I correct?" She asked moving closer until they were side by side.
Ezio felt growing apprehension in his belly as he chose his next words carefully. "And what if I am?" His tone dropped dangerously as he intended on scaring the mare away. He felt his outfit bristle as the mare bumped him.
"I have just given you an invitation to a 'party' attend it and all your questions will be answered." She said, during the whole conversation the two had kept their eyes straight ahead minus that one time. Ezio turned to look at the mare but as he did, he found nothing in her place. "strange" he thought as he concentrated on using his eagle vision to try and spy the pink mare.
What he found instead was something completely different. Invisible to the naked eye, the Assassin's signal hung over the main banner announcing Sugarcube corner. He felt his eyes widen as a smile formed upon his face.
Even in strange lands the Assassin's were prevalent in the background.
He shook his head as he chuckled. "Even here." He said as he walked away, his destination unknown.
