Roadside Assistance

Roadside Assistance is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.

Description
After escaping from Florence with his mother and sister, Ezio is ambushed by Vieri de' Pazzi and his guards.

The Pazzi
Ezio and his family continues to Monteriggioni. They are stopped by Vieri de' Pazzi accompanied by several gaurds.
 * Ezio: We should be close 
 * Claudia: Grazie dio (Thank God). 
 * Vieri: Buon giorno (Good day), Ezio! How could you leave Firenze without saying a proper goodbye? 
 * Claudia: Ezio! 
 * Ezio: What do you want, Vieri? 
 * Vieri: So many things. A larger palazzo, two new steeds, a prettier bride.... oh and yes... your life. 
 * Gaurds attack Ezio and his family.

Ezio kills off the guards with his Hidden Blade.
 * Vieri: My condolences for the loss of your father and brothers. What will happen now that there's no one left to help you? I have such wonderful things in store for your mother and sister. 
 * Vieri: I grow tired of this game. Finish him! And do not spare the women!

Uncle
More guards advance on Ezio's family. They are killed from behind by daggers.
 * Vieri: What sorcery is this?! RA_5_v.png
 * Mario: (laughs) Not sorcery, boy. Skill! 
 * Vieri: Show yourself! 
 * Mario: As you wish. 
 * Mario appears and tosses Ezio a common sword.

Vieri flees while Ezio and Mario deal with the guards. They proceed into Monteriggioni.
 * Mario: Here. Use this! 
 * Vieri: Kill them! Kill them all! 
 * Ezio: You have my thanks. RA_8_v.png
 * Mario: Keep the sword, Ezio. 
 * Ezio: Do I know you from somewhere? 
 * Mario: Don't you recognize me? It's-a-me, Mario! 
 * Ezio: Uncle Mario? 
 * Mario: It's been too long, nipote! (nephew) Far too long! I heard what happened in Firenze. Terrible. Come, let's get you all away from here. 

Outcome

 * Ezio meets Mario and reclaims a sword. He and his family set off into Monteriggioni.

Trivia

 * Mario's introduction of himself (It's-a-me, Mario!) is a reference to Super Mario Bros. It was included in the game as an easter egg.
 * This memory marks the first time an arrow storm is seen in the Assassin's Creed series. It would be seen again later in the game and even be a usable tool in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.
