Ezio continued looking over the area, occasionally glancing over at the cat-girl and Echidna. He checked over his equipment. First, the two Hidden Blades; flipping them out quickly, they seemed to be in good condition.
"Hm..." He hid the blades again and checked the Hidden Gun on his left gauntlet. That seemed to be in good condition. Next, the Sword of Altaïr at his side and the Notched Cinqueda knife that he would sometimes use.
"Everything... seems to be in order..." He stretched his legs a bit, then began free running, starting to jump between buildings.

Vanessa looked to Knuckles with a frown, considering this. "Then perhaps we can do something about that..." She allowed a small flat smile to appear on her face. "Mayhaps we can have a little Parkour race. I've had the chance to get to know this city like the back of my hand." She motioned in the general direction to which Ezio disappeared in. "Do you see that sky scraper near the center of the city? Using only a rooftop route, let us see which of us can get there faster."
[Before you ask, yes, she is using this as an excuse to follow Ezio.]

He looked dead at her when he heard her terms. "Only a rooftop route, huh," he said, nudging his lockes. Guess that means my gliding would have to be taken out of this, if not used sparingly... he thought. "...Alright, Cat-girl, you're on."
Now in truth, he could glide plenty faster than he could run- but since he had to stick to the rooftops, he couldn't stray to the side and catch an air current. So again- this made his lockes a last resort.

Not paying the other two any mind, Ezio continued looking over the area. "Hm... Nessun segno dei Templari ovunque ... " He looked towards the large skyscraper not far from his current location. "...None of the buildings in Firenze were that tall... Seems like something Leonardo would build."
He began jumping from rooftop to rooftop, getting an idea; he was moving towards the large skyscraper.

Vanessa looked to see Ezio heading in the same direction she had pointed to... Okay good, this made things so much simpler. "Okay, on my mark then?"
With this said, she got into position. "Ready..."
She eyed where the building was, and quickly mapped out the quickest route she knew of to get there. As she did this, she looked to Knuckles. Would this be easy?
Well we'll just see...
"GO!!!"
And with that she was off, he natural agility kicking in as she leaped to one building and quickly scaled up the pipe to the roof. Once she was up, she kept on running, moving at particularly fast speeds.

When the go was given, Knuckles took a straight bee-line for the building with a jump, hanging off the edge from such a close encounter. Afterward he got up and hustled for the next building, hoping he'd at least have a chance here.

Ezio had, by now, noticed the other two following him. A quick glance behind him using his Eagle Vision reassured him that the two currently did not mean him harm, and he continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop.
Before long, he reached the skyscraper. He closed his eyes for a minute, hearing the familiar sound of an eagle's cry. He jumped to the side of the skyscraper and his skilled hands found even the smallest of handholds as he began to climb.

Vanessa found Knuckles right behind her, quickly catching up to her. Her natural competitive instincts quickly prompted her to run faster. Moving at fast speeds, she quickly made a leap from the building she was on to the next one, landing with a roll on the roof of the next one. Smiling, she quickly took off running once more.
As she did this, she took notice of Ezio in front of her, easily keeping his lead. Like a true assassin. When she reached the skyscraper, she quickly jumped to one of the windows and was behind Ezio. Running was more Vanessa's forte, but she at least she knew how to climb.

"Hey hey HEY!" Knuckles roared, jumping into the air out of instinct. In an instant he was in a glide- and before long he managed to land on the skyscraper, quickly climbing his way up.

Ezio continued to climb up the skyscraper, that 'unstoppable' feeling he often got as a teenager reoccurring as he deftly ascended. He could almost hear the faintest tinges of a song on the wind, raising his spirits.
As he climbed up past a window, a woman working in a cubicle saw him and gaped at him. Ezio gave the woman a wink in return. What could he say? Even after marrying, he still enjoyed making the ladies starstruck.
Before long, he pulled himself up onto the roof of the skyscraper, the wind blowing past him, his cape flowing gently. "Molto bene..." He decided to wait for the other two that he knew had been following him, sitting down and resting.

As Vanessa continued scaling the building, she noticed Knuckles quickly catching up to her. As good as she was at climbing, running and fighting was more her strong suit. Seeing this, she quickly picked up the pace of her climbing, jumping up one window to the next.

Not one to be outmatched, Knuckles began to heat up. Oh no you don't, Cat Girl!!! he thought,using his fists in order to speed up his scaling of the building. before long he was ahead of her- and speeding up.

Ezio brushed the dust off of his cape and outfit, musing on his past adventures. "It seems... that my tale has not quite ended yet. Very well; we shall see what happens..."

Vanessa let out a little growl as she started charging a spell while climbing. "Haste!"
The spell hit her, and as she started charging another round of the spell, she found her climbing speed increased. Another spell later, and she found herself slowly catching up to Knuckles, her body moving unaccountably, almost unnaturally fast. Even if she stacked the Haste spell one casting on top of the other for increased effect, the spell was still temporary.
Oh well, good thing she didn't need to be this fast for long... Just long enough.

When he looked down and saw her catching up, he smirked. "Heh, not bad..." he smirked under his breath, trying to keep his focus on keeping his lead. Though he was already flooring what he had, he could still attempt to pick up his speed.
And then it happened- a gust of wind got trapped on the side of the building, rocketing upward. Though it took several minutes, it finally struck the group- and Knuckles looked like he took the brunt of it, his lockes flying skyward. "WHOA, WHAT THE-?!" Though he'd normally take the opportunity to glide, he didn't- he kept climbing, even if the wind was carrying him a little.
