Vengeance

Vengeance was a virtual representation of one of Shao Jun's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Helix Navigator.

Description

Having caught up with Zhang Yong, Shao Jun was ready to eliminate the last of the Eight Tigers and take her revenge.

Dialogue

• Zhang Yong: Your actions here have only delayed the inevitable. Slowing these savages will have only angered them. They will see this as a betrayal and launch a full scale assault.
• Shao Jun: They will not reach my land. The Wall will hold them back.
• Zhang Yong: Your land? You think your successes matter? China is just a piece of the prize. We will rule the world, and the box you so kindly presented us, will be yet another tool to achieve a time of peace.
• Shao Jun: Peace? You think you're a hero, now? I don't want your world, your control. Give me the box and your death will be fast.
• Zhang Yong: Your box is lost, Assassin, already out of China, in the safe hands of my fellow Templars.
• Shao Jun: Then another Assassin will find the box. That will be their destiny. Mine lies here with you.

Shao Jun vowing to kill Zhang Yong

As the Mongolian assault began, Zhang Yong ran, forcing Shao Jun to chase after him.

• Shao Jun: This is the end, Zhang Yong, there is nowhere to run to...
• Guard 1: Somebody put that fire out!
• Guard 2: Keep the Mongolians occupied, they believe they've been betrayed.
• Guard 3: The Mongolians are destroying the wall, repel them at all costs.
• Guard 4: Stay vigilant, we must keep our eyes open.
• Guard 5: Agreed. We can't let anyone through.

Shao Jun eliminated the soldiers guarding Zhang Yong with a barrage of cannon fire.

• Shao Jun: Here I come, Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong dying

Shao Jun finally caught up to Zhang Yong and struck him down.

• Zhang Yong: How does it feel, Assassin? Is it as you'd hoped?
• Shao Jun: Do not flatter yourself, Zhang Yong. You had to die for China to have hope again. I started this journey for vengeance, but I've understood now, that it's pointless. I have found a better goal to pursue.
• Zhang Yong: And what is that?
• Shao Jun: The future. A new tomorrow for China and its people. I will undo all that you have done. I will rebuild the Brotherhood and recruit those who wish to make our land a place of freedom, those ready to die to fight men like you. Your Templar world will not happen. The Assassins will rise again.

Shao Jun learning of the Jiajing Emperor's demise

Thirty-five years later, Shao Jun was approached by one of her Assassins at the Great Wall.

• Assassin: Mentor. The Emperor is dead.
• Shao Jun: The elixir of life?
• Assassin: Yes. It killed him, as you had planned.
• Shao Jun: His son will follow in his footsteps. The Wall will protect the people now. And so shall we.
• Assassin: Mentor, last time we talked, you were telling me about Master Auditore's Precursor box.
• Shao Jun: Ah. Ezio's great gift to me... Yes... I never discovered what the box could do, yet the artifact—and my obsession with it—taught me a great lesson. Perhaps the greatest of lessons.
• Assassin: What was that, Mentor?
• Shao Jun: She who seeks revenge should remember to dig two graves.

Outcome

Shao Jun killed Zhang Yong, ending Templar influence in China, and rebuilt the Chinese Assassins. Years later, she ordered the assassination of the Jiajing Emperor.
