Template:Fanfiction Infobox
This Fanfiction story is based around a modern day Templar Agent, inducted in late 2011 whose Genetic Memories are from a XVIII Century French Assassin, whom he will have to relive in order to harvest potential usefull information not only for the Templar Purposes, but for the Upcoming Animus Console System.
Are the Templar the Bad guys and the Assassins the Good guys? or this is a different matter? both strive towards a better world, a perfect world freed from the vices of this one, a world of peace....the only real diference between the two of them, is Hope.....some people have Hope in Human kind.
Well I kinda forgot this little story of mine, I'll keep posting it, more now than ever, since AC: Unity is coming!

Good Day miss Nakamura, according to my analists we are in possession of a individual with potentially usable memories. Yesterday, during a test run performed by my team in the Animus 1.20 we have in our stock, a few of the "special security team" sent here last days, tested the system (upgraded with the latest v1.38 programming we have) and during that test we discovered that one of them: Vincent Mackay, has some interesting latent memories that we could use, the most remarkable during the XVIII Century, France. If you're interested I'll arranged for my secretary to send you all the related papers.
Sincerely Yours, Edmond Robert, Abstergo Entertainment Paris-Branch manager.

- [+] Well, currently we aren't able to prevent that, that's why we need your opinion if we should continue.
- [-] It's not good to endanger one of us [PAUSE] on the other hand, we may have a nice opportunity here, even if we loose our initiated.

- [+] No sir, nothing inusual, why? Is there a Problem?.
- [-] No at all, I was just remembering the parallel there is between our subject and Mister Cross...

- [-] I am a bit concern of that, I know Cross managed to overcom it, but that was a different case [PAUSE] will be McKay able to do so?
- [+] I cannot know for certain sir, but [PAUSE] I think is acting suspicious sir, it might be paranoid tendencies product of the bleeding effect, or who knows...
- [-] Assassins? you are thinking that they are in somehow contacting him? that's unthinkable Saravakos.
- [+] I know, I was thinking on those Hackers we heard of, those Anonymous-like hackers groups or something.
- [+] If that is the case we should ask or tech team to analyze his contacts and mail.

So, are you feeling like Neo, waking up on some weird techno-dream? no yet? that's ok buddy. As you must be aware by know, the Bleeding Effect can and probably will drive you crazy eventually, so If I were you, I would try to stay out of that hell machine.. and One question, why do you fight for them? Is for the richness, the girls? or you're just a control-freak who have no faith in humanity? you seem like the pessimist kinda guy, but something tells me you are not a bad person, I'll keep in touch as long as thes Abstergo bozos won't find me.

Lyon 1774
-"Come on Léandre we are going to miss them! "Are they' calling me? yes, that's my name, what should I do now? follow them?"
-Come on! the man's rich! if we took one pouch he will not note it -a naugthy grim run across Phillipe's face. -says Claude, he was always so fearful. -Just do as I say, Claude and Leandre will gain the Monsieurs attention, while Phillipe and I move from behind to take the money, everything's gonna be alright! -Gerard, a natural leader I guess. A Couple of Nobles are running down the streets on their horses, they never look down to Us, they never cared...even when we maintain them, we are a just rubbage, so me and my friends took the bad way, yes we're thiefs but what other way can we take on a place like this? "NOW!" Gerard Shout to us. -Bonjour Monsieur! can we offer some of the finest show on Lyon? -we say to them -Get Lost you little garbages! -the nobleman says, we keep them entertained for a few seconds that's all our friends need.
By the time we got our loot, we run full of joy..... but then I hear a shot, when I look back Phillipe was in the ground bleeding. -GOD PLEASE NOT! -Shouts Gerard, I'm stunned. A group of City guards followed us and they're smiling... when Gerard runs to Phillipe, they shot him too, he falls and dies right there.... -NO! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!! -Screams Claude while he starts running, I....I....must run, my head hurts a lot, my forehead and eyes are burning, but I keep running behind Claude. The guards chase us to an Alley. PLEASE MONSIEURS! SPARE US! -Claude throws at them the pouch and gets on his knees crying, a few moments after a guard impale him with his sword. NO! -I'm paralyzed out of fear, my forehead and eyes burns, everything I see is becoming dark around me, and the Guards, they're shining red, Red like blood, red like my friends' blood.... -Time to finish this, little rat! says the Guard while he shows a crooked grin on his red face.... No, I....wont....I, I run to him screaming full of anger and despair, I wont die like this is all I can think of...he smirks and raise his sword.....
Suddenly something falls heavy on top of him, something Blue, more blue than the sky, a blue man, and he smiles to me....the guard beneath him is dead...the other guards are shocked, as they raise their swords, the blue man, stands and for a second I can see a bloody blade snapping quickly into his sleeve. -YOU BASTARD! YOU'RE DEAD!!! -screams one guard, as they run to him, it only took a few seconds for the blue man, to dispatch the red guards into the other world....he's so gracefull and deadly.... once is done, he sheathes his swords, and come close to me. -Je suis Desolé Mon Ami! if had it been a little faster I could have saved your friends says the blue man with a sad look on his face... -what is this? my head and eyes are burning -why are you blue, and they were red, why?The men looks at me intrigued -since when you have "these eyes"? -asks me, and his blue glow, turns into a golden one. it just started now....you're shining Gold now.... all I can think is my friends, they're dead now and I couldn't do anything... his intrigued face turns into surprised... -Relax, think of nothing, just try shout your mind.... says the Golden Man. My heads burns but I listen to him, the pain cedes and gradually, my forehead and eyes stop hurting and my eyes go back to normal.
He takes me far away from the ally, we sat in a bench at the edge of the Rhone.
-Thank you.... -You're welcome Mon Ami, Je m'appelle "Maël Luc De Sauveterre" and J'sui an Assassin -yes, I saw that.... he smiles, -our job is more than killing bad city guards, our job is to bring justice Mon Ami.-If that's true, can I join you? -What you want is revenge, not Justice Mon Ami... -I want what is fair! -Nevertheless....you need to get better first, are you living with your parents? -With my dad and his other family, he wont miss me... -Don't say that! listen to me, you will start by studying on a Mission nearby, a friend of mine runs it, then in time will see if you're ready to start your training... -ok.....if you promess to train me I'll do it -In the meantime Train your new eyes, they're more important than you think.....Mon Dieu!! what a Shame! I haven't asked your name! forgive me!
-It's ok, Je m'appelle Léandre.

[INITIALIZING ANIMUS SESSION: RELIVING MEMORY SEQUENCE-2]
Lyon 1785
After I met Maël, my life changed, eleven years has passed since that day, I'm a grown man, an Assassin, well not yet...
Outside Lyon, two raiders approaching the city from a long travel: -Ahhh home! finally! so master? are you still not going to talk to me? -This is not funny Léandre, you could be such a great assassin if you stick by the rules. -But Master, I completed the mission haven't I? -What have I told you so many times? we have a Creed that guide us, and keep us in the rigth direction! -ok ok Master, I never killed any innocent and I'm a true Brother to the Order.... -Yet you insist on doing such boasting when you face enemies! you almost compromised the mission when you attacked our target in plain view! and not only that you compromised your life, my life but you brothers also! You're Not an Assassins yet, and you will not become one if you keep acting like a Child looking for attention!.....as I look down and grit my teeth he continued -you always were a Young soul, I know you like to get girls and live your life and show how strong you are against others, but remember an Assassins figths for more than himself.... Enough talking for today I guess the master's cranky again.
Once inside Lyon we silently separated, I'm going to the market I'm hungry and I wanna know what did I miss in this last months, all I cant think of is "Haven't I trained hard? haven't I always complete my missions? come on!" suddenly I stumble upon some guards and a few tax colectors disscusing with and old lady -Please! not again I already paid you last week! -Shut up you filthy beggar! pay us, the Crown demands it! the guards unfold their swords and get closer to the old woman -Stop! I'm already in between them with my hand on the pommel... -Who do you think you are? they say as the prepare to attack me -Me? As I prepare to counter them, suddenly I remember the words of my Master....-I'm just a servant of our loved King, and a member of the Parlament The first lie that came up to my mind. -you should give this lady more time, ore else the Parlament may not consider to continue employing you....-SHUT UP! they said, the Tax collector looks at me with dispair -we'll come tomorrow...you better have my money by then, or else, no one will stop us. He gave me one last stare as they leave....
-Thank you! says the old lady, -It's getting worse every year! since neither the Nobles nor the clergy pays taxes and Versailles need to party they came up with more and more taxes! she starts to sob....-if my husband were alive, perhaps we could...she burst into tears as she leaves to her home. An small mob keeps repeating about the abuse they're suffering...I leave amidst the confusion.
Phrases keep poping out in my mind, "Restez votre lame de la chair d'un innocent", I shouldn't kill the Tax Collector at least not now...If I could find a way to discredit him...an hour later I've followed those men to their real leader: An known Templar agent named Faucher, a sneaky bastard he can be, but not today.....today you are min. usually I would attacked him rigth there, but not this time, "Cachez-vous dans vues plaine" my master's voice says in my head, so I decide to follow him now, I blend with the crowd, take shortcuts, spy him during the whole Afternoon, I see his deeds: He runs his personal Mob full of scoundrels, they are private tax collectors preying on the weak, but on these years they have worsen the already bad situation...are the Templars Mad? or are they looking to create anger on the people, more anger?.....Finally, I followed him to his home, by the time he's about to enter the door, two children run to him and kiss him while he's smiles, his wife also join him....suddenly a rush of guilt goes through me, never met this close a victim, so I begin to reconsider...but then I remember, with his death at least I'll win some time for that old lady and those people.........
It's midnight I'm inside his house, he's sleeping, so as I silently approach to him, my mind starts to play with me: one side says, "the Brotherhood wants this men dead" the other, "but he's a family men, maybe he could reconsider what he does if I talk to him"..."NO! He's a Templar! I must! I must Kill him!" -Daddy? suddenly his son appears he's sleepy barely can see me, I cannot do it, not with the boy watching so I leave the place.
I've spend on my own the night, away from the HQ, It took me only an hour to find him thanks to my "Special Sense", He's on a poor neighborhood supervising how a couple of his henchmen collect taxes by force...he seems to enjoy the power, everybody does....I'm on the exact position on a building ready for an aerial kill, yet again my mind starts, "He's a Man", "a Templar!, thats what he is!", "a family man! he seems to love his children and wife"!!, "yet he also enjoys oppressing the innocent!" Cold sweat runs through my back, while my hand shakes.....I must do this, yet, I don't enjoy it....I can't. I look at him, I feel sorrow and then I Jump....
By the time I hit the floor, Faucher was dead, I stand up and retract my hidden blade, the people is horrified around me, in a matter of seconds some cheer, some scream, the guards near my victim attacks me, I didn't took me much to kill them, but this time it felt diferent....by the time I finished with them four more guards appeared, however, even though I could easily dispatch them too, I ran my job was done there was no need to kill anymore.
Five hours later, the commotion had passed, so I left my hidden spot and got back to the HQ, "Ne jamais compromettre la Fraternité" my master's voice sounded once more clear in my head.
Once in there, I was taken to the council chamber, there my Master Maël and the Order's Master Jean Apôtre were the first in the circle.... -Why did you kill that man Léandre? said The Master while Maël darkly scanned me, -Because "Faucher" was a Templar's agent, and the Brotherhood wanted him dead I said, -True indeed said the wise men, -but did he deserved it? -No Master, but it was necessary... -For whom? Us? -not only Us, for the innocent people we swore to defend Master, We seek peace but we kill for it -The First Irony as told by the Great Mentor Altair said the Master with certain joy, -Does that make us evil? said below -Our actions can be evil, but we do it to protect the others, otherwise nobody will, -Others will, said Maël, but that doesn't exempt us from our mission continued. -Indeed Master De Sauveterre the master hardly stood helped by his cane -listen me Léandre, what do you learned about this mission? -I learned that there are no "bad guys", just people who take decisions that hurts others, I learned that I was used to boast and enjoy "killing those bad guys", but not this time, this time I realized that I'm not a Murderer, I am an Assassin, I only took the lifes of real enemies for the sake of the people and mourn those deaths, cause they were as important as myself.
The whole chamber stood and left, the told me to come to the adjoining chamber in 10 min.
Passed the time, I enter into the ceremonial chamber, I'm surprised, they are all side by side along the main corridor, they tell me to come to the main spot where Master Apôtre awaits, while I walk I see my brothers and sisters looking at me with proud while our symbol is present on the walls and the torches light up the whole place, I'm full of pride, I see my Master Maël next to our Leader, His face if full of pride. -Léandre Deschamps! says Master Apôtre, you have proven worthy to uphold the pillars of our Creed, Always remember: "Là où d'autres hommes suivent aveuglément la vérité, rappelez-vous... -Rien n'est vrai. -Là où d'autres hommes sont limitées par la morale ou la loi, rappelez-vous... -Tout est permis. Finally the Master said -Nous travaillons dans l'obscurité pour servir la lumière. We all followed him, saying in unison: Nous sommes Assassins.

It's been almost a year since our old Mentor Jean Apôtre passed away leaving Master Mäel as his successor, I have grown myself too, but the winds of change are coming fast, perhaps too fast?
Over the last years situations hasn't improved, our help to the American Colonies in the north has proven succesful yet expensive to the Royaume of France, our kingdom is menaced by the posibility of torn itself apart...walking down the main rue, I'm carrying a letter from our Paris Branch, the templars managed to inflict heavy damage to them, so we're currently blind on the capital, a situation quite critical indeed...that's the sort of stuff that runs through my mind these days...I should take a break, a short one at least....
As I walk in a street next to the Le Rhône river, I see a kid running, suddenly he trips to the floor, behind him a man with a cub appears...the Moment I was about to intervene a Lady made a presence -Stop It! I will not allow you two hurt this kid! he did not take any more than a few coins from me! she says, wow she's real prety a silky white skin, black hair and those eyes....Those green eyes seems pulled out off a dreamland.... -HEY! you! -Me? She caught me staring at her -Yes You! help me out or get lost! -errr Yes, Monsieur please take this few coins I brought from Metz and let's settle this issue ok? the men leaves still grumbling, while she helps the kid to get straigth -So, begone and no more stealing-she looks back to see if the men's far away-while he's around knoting at the old men and winking at the boy. -So monsieur capot....thank you for your help she says as she winks at me, -I better be going now, I'm a busy lady. -it is impolite not to give your name you know madam? I say while I look at her with a conspicuous gaze. -It's highly unpolite to move around in a hood asking girl's names, you know monsieur capot?, she says as a smirk runs through her face. She's quite a girl....I walk beside her as we talk for a few blocks, she's not only pretty, she's also smart and a bit cheeky, definitely my kind... -ah I must go now monsieur, a girl has it's obligations too! -now? I say while I put on my best "touching face", -Yes now Monsieur...? -Deschamps, Léandre Deschamps -Há! nice to meet you Léandre! sadly I'm just visiting this city, I'm moving to Paris with my family, -oh, she must have noticed my dispair, cause she dropped her cheeky attitude, -We might remain in contact, my name's Bônnot de Marbly, Hélène Bônnot de Marbly, she winks at me -We should Indeed madame Bônnot. After she climbed into her chariot I keep thinking of her, what a lady Indeed. -Au Revoir Monsiuer Deschapot and Merry Christmass! she yells at me while smiling.... -Léandre! a male voice snapped me back to reality, -Leandre, where have you been? It's a newly inducted brother, -Master is calling us! he silently tells me once he's close.
-Bonjour mon frères et soeurs, The Mentor Mäel starts, -as you are aware the French kingdom is at crisis, a crisis brought on themselves by this system itself, the people on the streets is hungry and tired, the Royaume is nearly on bankrupt,also we are aware of the templar movement made in these last years, they're helping to instigate discontent across the Royaume.... If my guessing is right, the templars are trying to replace King Louis XVI with another puppet, however since he's already a puppet and a weak king I believe, their main goal is oriented to reinforce the Noble's autority over the Absolutist Monarchy, that seems more probable. Master De Sauveterre makes a pause, choosing carefully his next words. -The Paris Branch is weak, so now we must go to the Capital in order to supervise directly this situation, if the templars are up to something we must go and see it for ourselves! a big murmur rises among our brothers and sisters, yet we all agree this is the right path to follow......All I can think is, I guess I'll have a new chance with Hélène.

Paris June 1789
The General States summoned by the King to solve the economical crisis just create a new crisis, a representative crisis, however thanks to our "little help" (Our own allied among the Parisine nobility have raised their voice to include more common people) the Third state has grown beyond the Templar's and Noble's power. At least is a begining to fend off the Injustice the commoners have suffer for so long....the burguesoi, I don't like them but they're on the same boat as us, so they're our allies now.
The Parisine Night has a estrange intoxicating quality, I don't know if it's the allyes, the smell, the sounds of people arguing, making love and yelling to the screaming cats....-Léandre! pay attention, we're getting closer! says the whispering hooded man, one of the last Parisian Assassins, he's too much bittered for my pleasant... -Yes Master Bonheur, suddenly we stopped at close ally a bunch of figures are finishing a secret meeting and dispersing into the night -Use your eyes Deschamps says Bonheur -Yes Master, *I recognize our golden target* he's going that way, pointing to one of the hooded figures, -then let's follow him says the Master -Wait! says another brother, look there! they're moving to intercept him! in a matter of minutes our target is surrounded by several thugs... -NOW! screams bonheur, instantly were falling over 4 of them and killing them with our blades -ASSASSINS!! KILL THEM ALL!!!! manages to scream one before been impaled by monsieur Bonheur, as our target fell to the ground covering we beging dispatching our enemies to their graves.... BOOM! as we heard the shoot I saw one brother falling hurt yet alive to the ground, -WE'RE SURROUNDED! screams Bonheur, several Arquebousiers are pointing at us from the roofs...is a trap and we fell straight into it! -NEIN! -Who said that!, Bonheur says -the Arquebousiers fall dead to the ally some spitting white foam in their mouths... - Who Did this? he repeats, -ich war Says another hooded man before jumping into the ally, -Allow me to introduce myself meine freunde, je m'appelle Hanns Paul Adler, and I'm an Assassin sent by the Hannover branch to help you in this time of need, he says while bowing to us -Thanks mon ami! you saves us, I say while shaking his hand -you're welcome! -We'll have time for introductions later! scowls Bonheur, Abbé Sieyès? -Oui? the men drops the sword he catched during the fight, who are you? and who were those men? people of the King? -No, well, Let just say you're winning powerful enemies due yo your actions and by your fortune, those people are our enemies, we will protect you, The men draws a smile, but then snaps back -what do you request for this "protection"? -nothing more than what you're doing now..keep defending th commoners and we'll keep defending you, we'll be in touch monsieur, says Master Bonheur before ordering us to leave the place.
June 1789
Our protection to the Local imprents and our friend Seiyés, has yielded great results: The Comune of Paris is boiling for changes, and the Third States is gattering more support among the other States, even though the Templars and the King resisted, change is Inevitable, the National Assembly has been created, and a new France is underway, a more egalitarian, beter France....Mentor De Sauveterre thinks this is the moment we're been waiting for.
