Well, you guys voted for it and here it is. My first crossover using Assassin's Creed and RWBY. Hope you guys enjoy!
For many years, the world of Remnant was fighting a war against the creatures of Grimm. For years talented men and women, known as Hunters and Huntresses, fought the Grimm to keep their world safe from the ever approaching darkness. However, they soon found themselves with no purpose. A group of men and women, known as the Templars, have conducted a crusade and drove the Grimm to extinction. The Templars have announced that they wanted to stop all aggression in the world and work towards a world filled with order. Little did the public know that the Templar's idea of order is total enslavement of everyone. Once again, men and women with the thoughts of true freedom rose up against the Templars to stop their plans of total conquest of the human and Faunus race. Many people have different views of this group. Some see them as killers, terrorists, street thugs, and a menace to society. Others see them as freedom fighters, saviors, peacekeepers, and a light within the dark times. Many people call this group by different names, but they are mainly called "The Assassins".
Ruby Rose was young girl with dreams of becoming a Huntress like the ones from the stories she heard when she was a child. She was sent to Beacon Academy two years early and became the leader of her own team. She along with Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long became Team RWBY. But now, the young girl is alone. The Templars exterminated the Grimm and Ruby would never get the chance to show the world what she could do. Yang, Ruby's sister, was smarter than she looked and knew that something was up with this "Templar" group. She went out to have a word with them and never returned. Blake was concerned for her partner and decided to look for her, Blake had disappeared as well. Worried about their team now, Weiss and Ruby went together to find their missing teammates. They were getting close to finding them, until a group of Templar grunts dressed in knight armor with a cloth shirt showing a red cross ambushed them and got them into a fight. More and more grunts came out and the girls were getting exhausted. Weiss told Ruby to run away and try to find someone that would help. Ruby refused at first, but Weiss knew how stubborn Ruby was. Weiss chased Ruby away and got captured in the process. Ruby ran using her semblance; she used a lot of her aura and eventually got tired. Ruby decided to rest for a while, but the Templars caught up with her and began chasing her again. Ruby ran in the alleyways to try and break their line of site, but she tripped and fell down. Ruby scratched her knee on the concrete and she held it as the pain stung. The Templars found her down on the ground and slowly made their way to her. Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose in its gun form and pointed at them.
"Where are my friends?" Ruby asked.
"You should know better than to poke you nose into other people's business." A grunt said.
"Stay away from me." Ruby said while pointing her gun.
"You don't scare us, little girl. Don't you remember? We were the ones who defeated the Grimm." Another grunt said.
"And now your 'Glory' comes to an end." A voice in the dark said.
"Who's there!?" a grunt said.
The Templars looked around to find the person who spoke to them. A hooded figure jumped down from the rooftops and landed on two Templar grunts. The figure stood up and revealed the two hidden blades on his wrist that was used to kill the grunts. The figure looked at the only remaining Templar.
"You! You're a…"
The grunt tried to speak, but the hooded figure dashed forward and shoved his hidden blade into the Templars neck. The body fell down and Ruby got a good look at the person. She saw that the person was a boy who looked seventeen. He wore a white coat with coattails that was behind his back. He had his hood up and the hood had an interesting beak shaped that helped conceal the wearers face. The coat was open that showed a black t-shirt with a white spider that stretched across his chest. The boy wore blue jean pants and black tennis shoes with green stripes on them. The boy looked at Ruby and she quickly held her gun back up.
"Leave me alone!" Ruby yelled.
The boy held his hands up, "Easy, I just want to help you."
"Oh, yeah?" Ruby said, "How do I know that you are not like those guys?"
"If I was with them, then why would I kill them?" the boy asked.
"Deception?" Ruby looked at him confused.
"Because I am their enemy." The boy said.
Ruby lowered her gun and the boy dropped his hands. Ruby tried getting up.
"Thank you for helping me, but I- GAH!" Ruby fell down again and held her knee.
The boy ran up to her, "You're injured, let me help."
"It's just a scratch. I'll be fine." Ruby said.
"I can tell your aura is down as well." The boy said.
"Well…" Ruby started.
The boy picked Ruby up in a bridal carry, which made her blush.
"I'm taking you to a place where you can heal." The boy said.
"Umm…. Okay." Ruby said.
The boy started carrying her around the town. Ruby finally relaxed and saw that the boy was not there to hurt her. She decided that she might try and get to know the boy that helped her.
"So… What's your name?" Ruby asked.
"Kyle." The boy said, "What's your name?"
"Ruby. Ruby Rose." Ruby said.
"Ruby… A lovely name for a young girl." Kyle said.
Ruby blushed, "Thank you."
Kyle continued walking with Ruby in his arms for a while longer.
"Where are we going?" Ruby asked.
"To a nearby hideout, there my grandfather can treat your wounds." Kyle said.
"But, I got to find my sister and my friends. Those people got them." Ruby said.
"You will stay with Grandfather; I will find them and deal with the Templars." Kyle said.
"But..." Ruby tried to protest.
"Trust me. No one has died on my watch." Kyle said.
Ruby was silent for a bit, "Okay."
Kyle stopped at a dead end street and set Ruby down on the ground. Kyle went to the wall and crouched down. He used his hidden blade and stuck it inside a crack in the wall. He jiggled the blade a bit and took it back out. The wall was pushed back and opened up revealing a secret passage way. Kyle went back to Ruby and picked her up again then went inside the passage way. They went inside a large room that had archways leading to other rooms. Inside was an old man dressed in white and grey robes. He had grey hair and a grey beard to match. His eyes were dark brown that watched the two young people walk inside.
"I worried about the day when you bring a young girl through our threshold." The man said.
"Not now, Grandfather. This girl needs her leg treated." Kyle said.
"Set her on the table." The man said.
Kyle laid Ruby on the table and the old man came at her with a first aid kit. The man opened the case and took out the disinfectant.
"This may sting a little." The man said.
Ruby nodded and braced herself for the pain. The liquid hit her knee and it did sting. The man took a large bandage and placed it on her knee.
"What is your name, young lady?" the man asked.
"Ruby Rose." Ruby said.
"Roberto Lombardi. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance." The man said.
"Thanks for the help sir." Ruby said.
Kyle started to head for the exit.
"Where are you going?" Roberto asked.
"Ruby said that her friends are being held by the Templars. I promised her that I would find them." Kyle said.
"You are not the only Assassin here, my boy. Why not let someone else find them?" Roberto asked.
"Because I work better alone." Kyle said and left.
Kyle went to the place where Ruby said that she left Weiss and investigated the area. Kyle saw a drop of blood on the ground and used his Eagle Vision to find where the trail went. When his vision activated, he saw that a girl with a rapier type weapon cut a Templar in the arm before being captured. Kyle saw the silhouette of the wounded Templar walk away and went to follow it. The trial led him to a building that looked empty, but Kyle knew otherwise. He snuck inside and climbed to the rafters, staying in the shadows. As he looked through the building, he heard the sound of fighting ahead. Kyle snuck on the rafters towards the fighting. He saw a group of young people fighting a group of Templars while one Templar watched three girls that were tied down. Kyle used the rafters to reach the tied down girls. Kyle jumped off the rafters and assassinated the Templar keeping watch. He went to the girls and took his hidden blade.
"Hold still." Kyle said.
Kyle used his hidden blade to cut the ropes off each girl and then he stood on top of the railing above the fighting group and the Templars. Kyle jumped off the railing and landed on the ground, alerting everyone. He took out what looked like a hilt to a katana and pressed a button on it which made a blade shoot out of the hilt. A Templar grew annoyed seeing him and the now freed girls.
"Capture them all! And kill the Assassin!" the Templar screamed.
Kyle took his sword in both of his hands and ran to defend the group fighting the Templars. One Templar ran to attack Kyle; Kyle parried his attack and slashed his chest twice and his enemy fell. Two more Templars came for Kyle. Kyle flipped a switch on his sword and it split down the middle and became two katanas, which he used to stab the Templars in the stomach and fired the pistols inside the swords. One Templar kept a young man with blonde hair down on the ground by continually attacking his shield. Kyle ran behind the Templar and used one sword to slash his back, and then Kyle jumped on the shield that the blonde knight was holding and pushed himself towards the Templar who was going to attack from behind. Kyle jabbed one sword into the Templar's shoulder and knocked him down. He took the other sword and stabbed the Templar in the chest. Kyle took both his swords, shook the blood off them, combined them into one blade again, and finally retracted the blade into the hilt and placing it on his side. He walked to the group and the girls that had joined them.
"Whew! Thanks for the help there." The blonde with the shield said. He extended his hand, "I'm Jaune Arc and this is my team. Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora."
Kyle shook his hand, "Kyle Everett. I'm an Assassin."
Everyone tensed up when they heard "Assassin".
"Who are you after?" Pyrrha asked.
"No one." Kyle said. He pointed to the Templars around him, "Unless you are a Templar."
"How did you find us?" The girl with the black bow asked.
"I found you because I told Ruby that I would." Kyle said.
The girl with the long blonde hair ran towards him and grabbed his collar, "How do you know my sister!? Where is she!?"
"Yang, calm down!" the girl in the white dress said.
"Weiss is right; if he was here to hurt us then we would be dead. I'm sure Ruby is fine." The girl with the black bow said.
Yang took a deep breath and let go, "Thanks Blake."
Kyle straightened himself up, "Ruby is safe, she is with my grandfather in the Assassin Bureau. I will take you there."
Kyle led everyone back to the dead end alley where the secret passage was. He was extra careful to make sure that they weren't followed. They went through the secret passage and went inside the Bureau. There Roberto and Ruby were sitting at a desk waiting for their return. Ruby saw them walk in and ran up to her sister.
"Yang!" Ruby jumped and hugged her sister.
"I'm glad you're safe, Ruby." Yang hugged her back.
"Thank Kyle for that. I would have been in big trouble if he wasn't there." Ruby said.
Yang looked at the hooded boy.
"No thanks are necessary. It is my duty as an Assassin to protect everyone." Kyle said.
"Still, thanks anyway." Yang said.
Kyle nodded.
"Now we can get back out there and show those punks who they are messing with!" Yang said.
"The Templars are out of your league. Leave them to us and try to return to your lives." Kyle said.
"Really?" Weiss asked, "You want us to leave a hugely corrupt group to an old man and you?"
"The Assassins are more than just me and Grandfather." Kyle said, "We are everywhere."
"You can't expect us to sit around and let them continue after all they done." Blake said, "We know what they plan to do."
"Perhaps we can come to a compromise." Roberto said.
"Compromise?" Kyle looked at him.
Roberto walked up to the group, "All of you have a choice. You can return to your normal lives or you can join our cause and become Assassins."
Everyone stood in place and thought about their decision.
"Those bastards had the nerve to mess with me, my friends, and hurt my little sister. Count me in." Yang said.
"Are you sure about this, Yang?" Ruby asked.
"I'm positive." Yang said.
Ruby thought for a bit, "I'm going with you too."
"I have to watch my partner's back." Blake said.
Weiss sighed, "And I have to make sure that they stay out of trouble."
Ruby looked at Jaune, "What about you?"
Jaune thought, "I don't know. It sounds like a big responsibility."
"No one is forcing you to make a decision right away. Make the choice that feels right to you." Roberto said.
Jaune thought some more, "Maybe we should head back to Beacon. We could tell Professor Ozpin about the Templars and see if he could help."
"I agree. Maybe all of Beacon with the Hunters could help out as well." Pyrrha said.
"The Hunters could help out in the long run." Kyle said.
"If that is your decision, then you may leave. But I ask you to stay one night and rest before you return." Roberto said.
"Thank you, sir." Jaune said.
Both RWBY and JNPR stayed at the Assassin Bureau for the night. Morning came and JNPR made their way back to Beacon to convince Ozpin of the threat the Templars pose. RWBY stayed behind while Roberto and Kyle explained the basic tenants of the Assassins.
1. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.
2. Hide in plain sight.
3. Never compromise The Brotherhood.
They were told to make their own hidden blades to suit their needs. Ruby made hers with a small gun underneath, it also had a laser pointer that the light was shaped into a red rose. Weiss wanted her blade to be like Myrtenaster, so her hidden blade had small pockets for dust. Blake had her blade made with a hook on the blade, she also made it where the blade could shoot out and it is attached to a ribbon like Gambol Shroud. Yang made two blades with two small pistols underneath each blade. Then they were told to make a hood like Kyle's to conceal their identity during missions. Ruby already had that covered with her cloak. Weiss went out and had another coat made like the one she had, except it now had a light blue beaked Assassin hood. Blake made a black beaked hood and stitched it to her coat. Yang had an orange beaked Assassin hood that was attached to her scarf. With everyone finished, they met up with Roberto and Kyle in the main room.
"Looking good ladies, but the looks and the blades do not make you Assassins." Kyle said.
"He is right. You must learn the basic skills and necessities of being an Assassin before you properly earn the title." Roberto said.
"You will be assigned a mentor to train you." Kyle said.
"And what better teacher than you, Kyle." Roberto said.
"What? I can't be a mentor yet, I'm too young for such an honor." Kyle said.
Roberto walked up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder, "Kyle, you are a very skilled and wise for a man your age. I can't think of anyone better to train these young ladies."
"How can I teach them? They are the same age as me." Kyle said.
"A teacher can learn much from their students. You will each experience the role of teacher and student at the same time." Roberto said.
Kyle still looked conflicted.
"Trust me. I know you will do great." Roberto said.
Kyle sighed, "Alright Grandfather. What shall we do first?"
"You will travel to Atlas and enlist the aid of Altair. Along the way there, try to find other Assassins that can join you there." Roberto said.
"Fine, we will head to Atlas now." Kyle said.
"I will call an airship and we will be there in no time." Weiss said.
"No. The Templars always have their eyes on the skies. It will be better to travel by sea." Roberto said.
"Sea? You mean we have to travel with… Him!?" Kyle said.
"It would be but a few weeks to Mistral. You can survive that long." Roberto said.
Kyle groaned, "Fine, let's go everyone."
RWBY and Kyle left the Bureau to travel to the docks that the Assassins frequently used.
"Why are we heading to Mistral? I thought we were going to Atlas." Blake said.
"Instead of risking going straight to Atlas for months and have the Templars notice, we will circle around the lands and have room to move freely. We can also gather allies easier this way." Kyle said.
"Going this route is dangerous." Weiss said.
"It is, but stay close to me and do what I say. You will be fine." Kyle said.
"I've never been to Mistral before. This is going to a fun adventure!" Ruby said.
Kyle sighed, "The way to Mistral will be excruciating."
"Why? What's wrong with the guy you were talking about?" Yang asked.
"You will see why soon enough." Kyle said.
Okay, time to tell me what you think. Just so you know, the four main Assasssins will make an appearance as mentors for OCs. The next page will have information on how to create one. Also don't be afraid to submit chapter ideas for this story. (I think I'm going to need help) Okay let me have it with the reviews and PMs. I'm ready!
Also can you guess which Assassin will make the first appearance? (Did I drop enough hints?)
