Having spontaneously met with Benjamin Hornigold, Alonzo was made to follow the pirate, but ended up falling into an ambush.

Looking for La Buse, Alonzo spontaneously met Hornigold, who promised to help. Unaware that Hornigold was by now a [[Bounty hunter|pirate hunter]], Alonzo fell into an ambush from which be barely escaped. Covertly tailing the traitor, he saw Hornigold and Condent argue with and mortally wound Barnes for failing to stop La Buse. Hoping to learn what Barnes knew, Alonzo intervened and attacked Hornigold's ship, forcing him to flee, before rushing to Barnes' side. With his dying breath, Barnes told him to search Harbor Island.


Following Alonzo's intervention to gain information from Barnes before he perished, through an assault on Hornigold's ship, Hornigold left and Alonzo learned that a likely hiding place of La Buse would be Harbour Island, a place rife with pirates and corrupt merchants.
==Behind the scenes==
The mainline 2013 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' depicts Hornigold's ship ''Benjamin'' as a [[schooner]], which would make it equal in size to Alonzo's ''Wanderer'', but this memory incorrectly scales it up to a frigate class.

Among Pirates was a virtual representation of one of Alonzo Batilla's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.[1]

Description[edit | edit source]

Learning La Buse survived a Templar attack in La Boca del Diablo and upon decoding his secret message, Alonzo sailed to meet him at Mayaguana in the Bahamas.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Alonzo sailed the Wanderer into the bay and was surprised to see Benjamin Hornigold again. He called across to the Benjamin's helm.

  • Alonzo: Ben?... I'll be damned!
  • Hornigold: Who are you, pirate?
  • Alonzo: The man who saved your neck when Bellamy's men were eager to stretch it!
  • Hornigold: Boyo! You can't blame a man for forgetting such an... unpleasant memory!
  • Alonzo: What are you doing so far from Nassau?
  • Hornigold: Finishing my round... I'll soon return with some crucial news for our Republic! The King has offered a pardon to pirates who wish to embark on the path of honesty! What will you do, boyo?
  • Alonzo: I've tasted the honest man's bread... and it turned my stomach! And I have more urgent business... I am looking for La Buse. He's been missing for months... Have you seen him?
  • Hornigold: Can't say I have, boyo... But since I'm in your debt... I think I might help! Follow me!

Alonzo followed Hornigold, tailing him for a fair distance.

  • Jumao: He's sailing too fast... We're losing him Alonzo!
  • Alonzo: What's happening?... What's got into him?
Hornigold suddenly increasing speed

Alonzo chased Hornigold, avoiding aggressive ships, naval mines, and strong winds. Eventually, they reached some narrow coastline with high cliffs. Jumao realized Hornigold led them into a trap facing a full artillery battery along the cliffs.

  • Jumao: It's a trap, captain! Kill those cowards before they blow us up!

Using his swivel gun, Alonzo shot the fourteen mortar operators who aimed at him, taking incoming fire as he did so. Jumao saw a frigate and two gunboats move to block them ahead.

  • Jumao: This ship is blocking our escape!... Clear a path before they attack from all sides!

Alonzo engaged with and sunk the ambushing ships.

  • Alonzo: Damn you, Ben! I saved your life... and this is how you repay me!
  • Aaminah: I bet that rascal is looking for La Buse! He wants the treasure for himself! Everybody will want the relic, Alonzo!... Every pirate in the West Indies has become our enemy!
  • Alonzo: Judases, all of them!
  • Aaminah: Use your spyglass, captain! Hornigold cannot be far!
Hornigold and his fleet

Alonzo scanned his surroundings and found Hornigold in the center of his thick pirate fleet.

  • Alonzo: Here you are, you scheming liar!
  • Jumao: We can catch him, captain... but his fleet is too powerful for us!
  • Alonzo: No need to let him know we're coming...

He moved through the fleet undetected until he reached an inlet where the Benjamin was anchored. From the deck, Hornigold and Christopher Condent argued with the merchant John Barnes on the beach. Still unseen, Alonzo eavesdropped on their conversation.

  • Hornigold: Is that all you have to say, you lying shite!
  • Barnes: I speak the truth, Ben! I had him!... But he used his relic and... he vanished!
  • Hornigold: This does not sound like the truth, Barnes...

Condent interjected.

  • Condent: Your insistence is pointless, Ben... It seems this man would rather die.
  • Barnes: No! Please! I've done everything you asked for... I could not stop him!
  • Condent: No more that you'll stop this bullet from entering your gut!

Condent aimed his flintlock pistol and fatally shot Barnes. Barnes tried to compress the wound, to no avail.

  • Barnes: Argh!... For God's sake, man!
  • Condent: You have played your part, captain. And there are to be no loose ends.
  • Barnes: You bastards...
  • Alonzo: We must do something! I'm sure this man knows something!

With surprise on his side, he attacked the Benjamin. Hornigold shouted at him after a barrage of cannonfire.

  • Hornigold: Damn you, boyo! You're in way over your head!
  • Alonzo: And you're a goddamn traitor!
Hornigold leaving the fight
  • Hornigold: Traitor? Without me, none of this would have been possible! I built Nassau from the ground up! And I'll destroy it should I fancy!

Hornigold and Condent retreated. On the shore, Barnes called for Alonzo's help.

  • Barnes: Help me... I'm dying...
  • Alonzo: Hang on, captain. You're going to make it...
  • Barnes: Listen to me! Make that bastard pay for what he did...
  • Alonzo: The only way to do so is to find my friend... do you know where he went?
  • Barnes: I don't... but if I were him, I'd go to Harbor Island...
