//------------------------------// // Ghost of the Past // Story: Assassin's Creed-Fluttershy // by cellum95 //------------------------------// Fluttershy was walking in a bipedal fashion, so fearlessly that her friends are now worried for her safety. If she continues this, then there might be a possibility that all of the Royal Guards will hunt her down, until in such time that she is either captured, or in some cases, killed in action. When Fluttershy was staring at the front door of the Golden Oaks Library, Twilight's home, they were wondering why she she stopped to the front door of the library. But what she does next, is unbelievable. With one quick, but decisive hard buck, she actually destroyed the front door with decisive ease, not having any difficulties at all. A lot of questions were running riot in their minds right now, including Twilight and Applejack. 'How could Fluttershy be strong now?' They both thought as they try to sneak towards Fluttershy, who was now searching in the library. -Fluttershy- Fluttershy enters the library, somewhat being in a bad mood already. 'All those questions....They will never change it.' She thought as she continues to 'walk' inside the library. Somehow, the feeling is strangely familiar to her, but she can't put her hoof on it. Suddenly, her enhanced hearing caught something, probably something or somepony outside. She sighed, and with a single motion to ready her sword, she warned: "If somepony is out there, identify yourself or I will use deadly force!" Her tone was dark and serious, and shadows was beginning to form, and Fluttershy readies herself for an attack. However, an all too familiar voice was heard. "Uhm 'Shy? Are you in there?" It was the voice of her long-time friend, Rainbow Dash. She sighed, but then a memory sparked again, this time, in a marketplace in Italy. -Marketplace- It was now bustling with activity of the marketplace, once the sight wherein Ezio's family was murdered. But in the middle of the bustling market was just the Chinese Assassin, Shao Jun, and Fluttershy herself. 'So this is how their market works.' Fluttershy thought in curiosity. It was the most busiest market she had ever seen, even busier than Ponyville market itself. Thousands upon thousands of humans, as they were called, lined up the markets, eager to buy or sell something that is worth some while. Shao Jun was just standing there, but then in surprise the hand of the Italian Mentor get contact with her shoulders. "I might have luck with the harvest." He said. "Come, I want to show you both something." He walked towards the bench and without hesitation, Shao Jun and Fluttershy followed him, sitting next to him to his hear tragic story. "Jun, you know, my family was murdered here, in this very plaza, thirty-five years ago, when I was still young." Fluttershy's mind instantly shut down, thinking how could him, Ezio Auditore, his family, murdered, right in his very own eyes, still young at the time. "But seeing this, full of life, makes me feel that my pain had gone away." He paused, thinking of what to say next. "Come, let's go." Ezio, Shao Jun and Fluttershy were walking out of the marketplace when something caught their eye. It was a hooded human, much like Shao Jun, but has a mask and a very dangerous sword. Ezio wants to unsheath his knife but Jun stops him, and walks forward to confront the man. 'Don't do it!' Fluttershy mentally screams, but it was no use. Shao Jun got to her sword and she and the Chinese man fights each other with their swords, each trying to land a blow. Finally, Shao Jun kicked/bucked the man and goes for a side kick, but this time, killing him instantly with her hidden blade in her boot. "Jun! Adiamo, hurry!" Ezio shouted as he, Jun and 'Shy run out of their position, but a Chinese already spotted them.
