Emergency Exit
Emergency Exit is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
Ezio awakes to find himself being dragged by some mercenaries through the streets. He gets on his feet and, along with some mercenaries, fights his way back to the Villa Auditore. Just as they reach the villa, Ezio sees Claudia being attacked by Borgia troops. Ezio quickly kills the attackers and escorts Claudia to the Sanctuary, where the rest of the survivors had assembled. He then shuts the door to the sanctuary, and leads the survivors out through a series underground tunnels out of the city to the north.
Dialogue
Ezio is dragged through the town by some townsmen.
- Ezio: Basta! (Stop!) I can walk.
- Man: Look out! They are coming! Everyone retreat to the Villa!
- Ezio: I cannot fight like this. Stand with me!
Ezio calls for some mercenaries nearby. They fight their way toward the Villa and meet Claudia as she backs away from more attackers.
- Claudia: Ezio!
- Ezio: Get inside the Sanctuary.
- Claudia: Follow me!
Ezio and Claudia reach Mario’s study and make their way towards the Sanctuary entrance. At the entrance there are two men, a mercenary, and a man with an eyepatch named Paganino.
- Mercenary: I will hold them back!
- Ezio: Stop! Wait for us!
- Paganino: We thought you had been killed, Ser Ezio.
- Ezio: Not yet.
- Paganino: Where does this passage lead?
- Ezio: To the north, outside the city walls.
- Paganino: I’m surprised it exists.
Ezio steps on a raised stone in the floor, flattening it. A hidden wall moves to shut off the room from the remainder of the Villa.
- Paganino: Let me through, I must go help the troops.
The man slips through the gap to fight the invading soldiers. Ezio barricades the hidden wall in place, sealing the Sanctuary. Ezio enters the Sanctuary where Maria and Claudia wait with a group of people in front of the Statue of Altaïr.
- Claudia: Hurry Ezio!
- Ezio: Where’s mother? Is she all right?
- Maria: I am here Ezio.
- Ezio: Grazie a Dio (Thank God).
- Claudia: We could not leave without you.
- Ezio: The way out will be dangerous. Protect our mother.
They emerge from the tunnel
- Claudia: Where is Mario? I thought he would be waiting for us.
- Man: The Borgia infantry are circling the town!
- Ezio: Mario is dead. You must leave this place. Take mother to Firenze. (To a townsperson) Get me a horse!
- Claudia: You are not coming with us? Where are you riding?
- Ezio: To Roma.
- Maria: Go, my son, destroy them... but remember for whom we Assassins fight.
Ezio mounts the horse and rides for Rome.
Outcome
Ezio, Claudia, Maria and the townspeople escape through the tunnels under the city. Ezio rides for Rome but collapses from his injuries on his way. Monteriggioni is left in ruins.
