"What is the status so far?"

"Pardon?" Celestia asked confusingly.

"Have you gotten the pony to speak yet?" The cloaked pony stated.

"Oooh! No. No, he won't talk."

"Damn!"

"Because he is dead."

"What?!"

"He commited suicide this evening. I guess he wanted to protect them."

"Well then..."

"You must get your best ponies to protect Twilight."

"I will, your highness. I will protect her myself."

~~~~~~

"What are they saying?"

Twilight pressed her ear up against the door again. But all she heard was muffled voices.

"That is it! I've had enough!" She whispered angrily as her horn lit up.

~~~~~~

"I will make sure that my ponies will guard the city and Ponyville. And that-"

"Go on."

"Wait..."

The pony jumped up and balanced in the top corner of the room, above the door frame. And no sooner, the door blasted open.

"Twilight?" Celestia coughed as the dust rose and scratched at her throat. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Where is she?" Twilight demanded as she walked into the room.

"Where's who?"

"I'm not stupid! I know she's here! Where is she?"

The pony above the door frame attempted to escape, but thought that the young alicorn will see. However, as she moved, her small dagger slipped from it's scabbard. The mare's eyes opened wide, as she quickly grabbed the dagger.

She was leaning forwards, dangerously forward.

When she caught the dagger, it sliced through her hoof. Dripping blood. Trickling the red liquid onto the floor below.

Twilight jumped as she felt something warm land by her hoof.

"What in Equestria?" She muttered.

"That's paint!" Celestia blurted out.

"Paint?"

"Yes!" She nodded franticallly. "I had this room painted. I thought it could do with a new lick of paint." Celestia smiled sheepishly.

"So how come I can't smell anything?"

"It's scentless!"

"I've never heard of scentless paint."

"Well...err...umm..." Celestia's eyes gazed up to the mare in the corner. Seeing that she is struggling, with her injury.

"Celestia. Please. The thing that hurts me the most...is you lying to me. Why are you lying to me?" Twilight's eyes began to fill.

"She has to. To protect you."

Twilight turned around and looked up. The pony fluttered down to the ground, but the room was dark, so Twilight was unable to see her face.

"Rainbow Dash. I know it's you." The lilac princess lit up her horn. Revealing the pegasus' outline.

She wore a thick black cloak-decorated with red- that draped over her slender body. Her collars were large and red, and laid across her shoulders. And a white collar stuck up, around her neck. She sported a belt of many objects, and also had a set of small saddle-bags. Black tags hung around her neck. She had puffy sleeves, that were slit with red. And on her forelegs were silver bracers, with a peculiar symbol on them.

Rainbow lifted the hood that cover her prismatic mane and face. The hood uncovered her scar on her eye.

"Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked cautiously as she saw her many scars.

"Celestia, for the sake of Equestria and Twilight's life, she can't know anymore!" Rainbow stamped her hoof. Her injured hoof. And yelp out in pain.

"She now knows too much."

"Princess! You don't understand! If word gets out, I can no longer do my service."

"Nothing will get out, Rainbow! Twilight will not tell anypony."

"What! She won't tell anypony that I am an assassin!" Rainbow nearly yelled out.

Twilight quickly stepped back, and gulped.

"An assassin?"

~~~~~~

"An assassin?"

Twilight stared at her friend. She stared into her gem-like eyes.

"You kill ponies?"

Rainbow Dash slowly nodded.

"You kill ponies."

"Twilight, you must understand, I don't just kill ponies."

"All this time, I've been friends with somepony who could have stabbed me to death."

"No! Listen, assassins kill ponies that want to break the peace in Equestria. We killed the rebels that tried to murder Celestia and take her throne." Rainbow walked over to Twilight, and placed her hoof on her shoulder. "We are the ones that keep peace in order. We are the ones that protect the innocents."

"Have you....have you ever killed an innocent pony?"

"It is against us to kill innocents. We protect them. But Twilight," Rainbow looked up at the princess, "our life is made by the death of others. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. But that doesn't mean you have to fear me. I am still the most awesomeness pony ever, just because I know the ways to kill, does not mean I have changed. I will stay loyal to you, no matter what."

Twilight hugged the pegasus.

"I know you are still Rainbow Dash."

~~~~~~

"I have had enough of this!!" An angry stallion screamed as he threw the table across the room.

"With all due respects Sir, there is nothing we can do."

"Yes. Yes there is, Trident."

"What is that Sir?"

"In order to kill Princess Twilight and The Sisters, we must kill her."

The blue pony opened his eyes wide.

"B-b-b-but sir. You said it's impossible. She's the leader of Assassin's Creed. She owns the brotherhood. She's the highest level killer."

"Yes. I know."

"....." Trident held his head in his hooves. "My head hurts, Sir."

"Don't worry, Trident. I know how to destroy that weak little pony. Don't you worry." The corners of the mysterious pony's mouth grew as he began to laugh manically. Echoing into the darkness. "You will die Rainbow Dash! And when you do, the whole of Equestria will fall!!"
