Romagna Holiday is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.
Description
Knowing that Leonardo da Vinci had left for Venice, which was Ezio's next destination as well, he sets out to find him, so that they could travel together.
Ezio came across Leonardo with a broken carriage, at the very beginning of the trail to Forlì through the Appenine Mountains. His friend greeted him joyfully and explained that his carriage had been damaged, and that though he knew how to fix the problem, he did not have the means. Ezio offered to help and Leonardo asked him to lift the wagon. Ezio did so with no obvious sign of stress and noticed Leonardo's Flying Machine prototype inside, though at the time he did not know what it was. They discussed the invention until the wagon had been fixed, and the inventor claimed that he could make a man fly. Ezio laughed at the idea and offered to drive the carriage to Forlì. As the two drove on, Leonardo exclaimed about the beauty of Venice. Ezio suddenly quietened him as he noticed a squad of horsemen appeared behind them, racing to run down the slower carriage. Ezio whipped the horses to greater efforts and urged Leonardo to hide inside. A chase began as the horsemen attempted to climb onto the carriage and archers fired arrows that exploded into pools of liquid fire. He shook the soldiers off the carriage by allowing it to rock from side to side and forced the horses to gallop over a bridge that had been set alight. The chase continued until Ezio threw himself from the carriage and ordered Leonardo to continue to Forlì without him. As Leonardo obliged, the Assassin fought and killed the remaining Templar soldiers.
Dialogue
Ezio comes across Leonardo, trying to repair his broken carriage.
- Ezio: Leonardo!
- Leonardo: Ezio? What luck! I... er, have run into a bit of trouble.
- Ezio: Let me see if I can help.
- Leonardo: I know how to fix it, but lack the means to do so.
If you could just lift the wagon?
Ezio lifts the wagon, glancing into the interior.
- Ezio: What is this thing?
- Leonardo: Eh?
- Ezio: It looks like a giant bat.
- Leonardo: Oh, nothing, just an idea I've been working on. (Ezio puts the carriage down.) I could not leave it behind.
Leonardo completes his repairs.
- Ezio: What is it for?
- Leonardo: Well, I shouldn't really talk about it... al diavolo (To hell with it), I can't hold it in any more! Ezio, I think I have figured out how to make a man fly!
- Ezio: *laughs* Come on, I'll drive.
- Leonardo: But I haven't even told you where I'm going?
Both climb into the carriage and set off. Ezio listens to Leonardo as he describes the beauty of Venice.
- Leonardo: Venezia (Venice), such a beautiful city. So many sources of inspiration! Ponte de Rialto, Piazzo San Marco, L'Arsenale-
Ezio shushes Leonardo.
- Leonardo: What's wrong?
- Ezio: We're not alone.
Ezio urges the horses into a gallop.
- Leonardo: What's happening? Who are they?
- Ezio: Rodrigo Borgia's men.
- Leonardo: Why? What do they want with us?
An arrow strikes the seat between them.
- Ezio: I think they want us dead. Leonardo, hide!
Leonardo climbs inside of the carriage, Ezio stays out to direct the horses. Many of the guards who were following try to climb the carriage from their horses. But Ezio manages to keep them away.
- Leonardo: They're trying to climb on board! Knock them off! Ezio, someone's on top! Do sharp turns to make the carriage roll!
Ezio! Watch out behind you! Do something!
- Ezio: Hold on tight! This is going to be a little rough!
They ride over a burning bridge. But the guards start to fire lit arrows towards the carriage. Ezio drives through the fire trying to avoid it.
- Leonardo: Hold on, Ezio! We're almost there!
As the guards fall back and Leonardo comes out of his hiding and sits next to Ezio.
- Ezio: Go, Leonardo! They're here for me, not you! I'll catch up with you later!
Ezio jumps off to face the guards alone. The remaining Borgia guards try to kill Ezio in a futile attempt. After dispatching the Ezio sets out to meet Leonardo at Forlì.
