AN: Finally! The Sixth Chapter! This is the third to last chapter I am going to write for this story, which the end will be EPIC, maybe. Sorry this hasn't been in time with the other ones I wrote, I was busy...
The stark white of the room vanished and the sight of the Vatican in Rome, looming and impressive. We looked upon the edge of the building in which we were going to ascend to our objective. We started to climb the building. I ran up the wall and caught hold of a window ledge. I pulled myself up and latched onto an ornament extending off the building. We continued to climb until we came just under the top of the ledge, when we noticed a guard patrolling the top with a bow and arrows.
"I'll take him out, then you go ahead and get the other one," Ezio said. He reached up and grabbed the guard by his ankle and threw him down into the water below. I rushed up onto the roof and ran my blade through the other guard's chest. Ezio popped up and we opened the gate that blocked off the next part of the roof. We moved on and killed the next four guards in the next part, hiding the bodies in the well that is in the center of the area. I climbed up and pulled the lever to open the next area.
We went into the next area, which was an open space with at least a dozen guards. They spotted us as soon as we cleared the door and rushed forward with their swords above their heads, ready to strike. We both stabbed two of them, each, with our Hidden Blades, then drew our swords and slashed at the two guards closest to us. We backed off and waited for them to attack us.
One of the guards made the mistake of slashing at me. I quickly dodged and sliced his legs out from under him. Another one attacked Ezio, who stabbed his sword in the guard's throat. We quickly dispatched of three more guards when a big man in a thick suit of armor and a huge, two-handed sword. He ran with surprising speed towards us, and brought down his sword upon us. We both jumped out of the way before it caught us, and I jumped up and sunk my Hidden Blade into his eye sockets. He slumped down to the ground, his lifeless body in an unflattering position (Trust me, it looked horrible).
We looked around for a way forward, and seeing none, we looked for a way up. We focused on a tower, and started to climb the tower. We climbed to the top using the various edges and decorations that adorned the tower. We got to the top of the tower when cries from behind made us turn around.
"Assassini! Assassini! Stop them!" A guard cried from the area we just left. Archers ran in and started to fire arrows at our position. We turned to the other side of the tower and saw two horses right below us. We turned to each other and nodded, and we jumped off onto the horse. We rode on the walls onward, when we came to a gap in the wall that was being repaired. We dismounted our horses and jumped the gap. It was easy considering there was a scaffold to help with the repairs.
We continued along the top of the wall, killing the guards posted along it, occasionally climbing a tower and leaping into a hay bale on the other side. We had some amazing kills, such as when Ezio jumped from the top of a tower and nailed two guards in the back of the head with his Hidden Blades. I slammed my KeyBlade right through a guard's chest as I hopped off the top of a tower, going straight through his heart. I was actually fun killing these demons, such a change from the Heartless I normally fight.
We reached an area that had a closed door. We looked down upon it from the top of a tower, noticed a lot of guards. We each picked out ten and went down to do the dirty work. Ezio leapt down and hid in a hay bale until two guards came by. When they did, he sprung out and stabbed each through the chest and pulled them in. He hides them and hides until I gave him a signal. I threw a dead guard over the edge of the tower, which two unsuspecting guards came to investigate. I took my chance and jumped over the edge. I threw out my Hidden Blades and stabbed them both through their spinal cords, killing them both on the spot. That was Ezio's cue to take out his group, while I started on mine. He shot one in the head, causing it to blow apart. I cast a thunder spell, killing half of my group in one blow. I killed the last of them with fire and blizzard spells that tore them to shreds.
Ezio finished off his group, then I climbed to a switch and flipped it, opening the door to an abbey. At the end of the hallway was a guard, behind him a switch that opened a door to his right. There were monks in the hallway as well, in groups of at least four. We made our way through, hiding in the groups of monks, making our way to the guard. Ezio was the first to make it to him, stabbing him in the stomach with his Hidden Blade. He pulled the lever and the door opened to another part of the abbey, with three more guards and another lever. We snuck through and killed the three guards. I pulled the lever and it opened to the Church in which The Spaniard was speaking to the patrons of the Church.
Ezio and I made our way slowly along a path over to where the Spaniard was standing. The path seemed like it was put there on purpose, like a sort of trap. We got to the end of the path, which was high above Borgia. Ezio stood there, eyeing his prey like an eagle about to feast. He tensed as he prepared to strike. The anticipation was building when all of a sudden he leapt and brought his blade right into Borgia's chest.
