Plot synopsis[edit | edit source]
As Sigma Team members escort the Humvee carrying the lotus disk towards the Forgotten Temple, they walk past the ongoing battle between East India Company and Nguyễn clan soldiers. Several of the soldiers are shot and killed, causing them to turn back into Sigma operatives. Using her eagle-drone to survey the area, Claire Zhang comments on the massacre before noticing the Humvee and its escorts, which are unaffected by the temporal anomaly turning everything into their past counterparts.
Elsewhere, "Edward Kenway", "Shimazu Saito", and "John Young" come face-to-face with an apparition of Xiao Han conjured by the crescent amulet, as Noa Kim and Shimazu Sei find it more and more difficult to resist the anomaly and prevent their genetic memories from being overwritten by those of their ancestors. Edward comments on the elephant Xiao Han is riding, remarking he has never seen anything like it in the Caribbean, while Saito runs towards John, intending to kill him for his betrayal.
After John dodges Saito's sword swing, Xiao Han interrupts the confrontation as he jumps between the two and demands the artifact in John's possession. He then launches a rope dart towards John, but Saito blocks the attack and begins to duel Xiao Han. While Sei is exasperated at the thought of having to keep John/Nathan Zhang alive, the latter, realizing he stands no chance of survival if he sticks around, decides to run towards the Forgotten Temple. However, Edward stops him by firing his pistol at his feet and demands to have a talk with his friend.
Edward claims that it is not too late for John to stop the madness and gives him one last chance to set things right. John considers the offer, but after reminiscing of both his friendship with Edward and his relationship with Xialun Qing, he tells Edward that they have both come too far to turn back. He then declares that he has learned much from their journey, namely that he is a hopeless romantic who would sacrifice everything for love, and throws a smoke bomb at his feet to cover his escape. Edward uses his Eagle Vision to see through the smoke and begins to give chase.
Realizing he cannot outrun Edward, John fires his pistol into the air to alert the East India Company to his position. At that moment, the Forgotten Temple projects apparitions of Alan Jacob and his men, who begin to fire their cannons towards the temple. The cannon fire prevents Edward from continuing his pursuit, breaks up Saito and Xiao Han's fight, and also hits several statues. As the temple activates the next phase of its defensive system, the giant Singha statues come to life and prepare to eliminate the intruders.
