The Way Out
The Way Out 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]
After finally finding La Buse on the Queen Anne's Revenge with Edward Thatch, Alonzo agreed to help him acquire a ship to take him far from the Caribbean.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Alonzo and La Buse spoke on the Wanderer, sailing through a heavy rain over the Caicos Islands, an island series arranged like a skeletal hand.
- La Buse: We are on a renowned commercial route. I've taken many a ship in those waters...
- Alonzo: So what should I get you, old man? Would a gunboat be suitable?
- La Buse: You pay me back with interest, boy! I need to cross the Atlantic! A galleon will serve me fine!
- Alonzo: You greedy rascal! Let's see what we find!
They soon saw a Portuguese Navy galleon.
- Alonzo: This one should do...
- La Buse: Destroy her defenses, Alonzo. But do not sink her. I need this ship intact!
Alonzo avoided incoming cannonfire and used the swivel gun to incapacitate the ship. With its crew dead, La Buse crossed over and took its helm. He sailed parallel to Alonzo and they conversed.
- La Buse: We are even, Alonzo. For a pirate... you're a pretty decent man.
- Alonzo: What now? Are you ready to sail across the ocean?
- La Buse: Not yet, friend. I still need your help... to keep our promise to Bellamy!
- Alonzo: The relic is not safe?
- La Buse: I hid the Fragment of Eden, but Hornigold and Condent are actively searching for it! The West Indies are being tamed, Alonzo... Sooner or later, the relic will fall into Templar hands!
- Alonzo: I won't let it happen. We'll take it far from here! The Templars will never find it!
- La Buse: That's exactly what I plan to do. But let's see if you can find it first... I'll give you a clue: it's hidden on a corpse's finger!
With La Buse tailing him, Alonzo sailed to an island that matched the description and found a giant cave.
- La Buse: Well done, Alonzo.
- Alonzo: An easy find, friend. I have a mind for riddles!
- La Buse: When no one understands, I trust that you will, then? It might come in handy if I find myself in a tough spot!
They entered the sea grotto.
- Alonzo: Where is the Fragment?
- La Buse: Somewhere around here. Use your spyglass to find it!
Alonzo spotted a treasure chest glowing with the Piece of Eden's energy.
- La Buse: Well done! Give it to me!
- Alonzo: What do you plan to do with it?
- La Buse: Hide it in a place the Templars will never rule. Somewhere pirates can live like free men!
- Alonzo: Does such a place exist outside of your old corrupted mind?
Leaving the cave, they were ambushed by Condent in a Man O' War.
- Condent: Hand over the Fragment, pirates... or die where you stand!
- Alonzo: I've heard these threats many times... but those who made them were all sent to Neptune's depth!
- Condent: Be reasonable, pirate! You don't stand a chance against my ship! Why suffer a useless death?
- La Buse: Use the Fragment to defend yourself, Alonzo! This is our only chance!
Using the artifact to boost the Wanderer's weapons power and speed, Alonzo sank the Man O' War.
- Condent: This cannot be! My ship has no equal in the Caribbean!
- Alonzo: Are you not tired of being wrong, Condent?
- Condent: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
- Alonzo: Good riddance!
- La Buse: Do not rejoice too soon... I think bad news just sailed on our horizon!
A Royal Navy fleet appeared.
- Alonzo: The British fleet... sent to enforce the King's law!
- La Buse: The King's pardon has expired... all pirates are dead men!
- Alonzo: Not all, my friend... I will delay the fleet... you leave with the relic!
- La Buse: You'll die, Alonzo!
- Alonzo: No! I won't let the Templars take the Fragment and turn our world into a prison!
- La Buse: I will hide the relic then... and if something goes wrong, I'll find a way to tell you where it is!
While La Buse fled on his new galleon, Alonzo sailed out to meet the British fleet led by Woodes Rogers in a Man O' War.
- Rogers: Surrender, pirate, or I will obliterate you all from the surface of the seas!
- Alonzo: Brace yourselves! This fight will be our toughest!
Despite the odds, Alonzo sank two gunboats, a schooner, a brig, a frigate, and a Man O' War before then attacking Rogers' ship. Seeing La Buse had put enough distance from the fight that pursuit would be wasted effort, Alonzo called off the assault .
- Alonzo: We have delayed the fleet long enough! It's time to make our escape!
Having failed to inflict lasting damage to Rogers' ship, Alonzo fled. Rogers called off any chase, deeming both men irrelevant.
- Rogers: This scum is not worth the chase! We have wasted enough time on those maggots! Bring the fleet around! We are sailing for Nassau! I will claim my position as governor!
After escaping the fleet, Alonzo conferred with his crew.
- Jumao: They're gone. We are safe...
- Alonzo: ... until our paths cross again.
- Aaminah: Why tempt fate, captain? We should leave the Caribbean while we can!
- Alonzo: And do what? Become merchants? Settle down and grow sugar?
- Aaminah: Worse things could happen to a smart man, captain.
- Alonzo: It sounds like dying a slow death! I'd rather take my chances with fate!
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Alonzo and La Buse recovered the Fragment of Eden from a cave in the Caicos Islands, only for Christopher Condent to ambush them for it. Alonzo used the Fragment to defeat him when he saw Woodes Rogers arrive with a British fleet. Alonzo successfully delayed the fleet, giving La Buse time to escape the Caribbean with the artifact.
