Here we go for the third battle of the story's finale, guys! Let's hope it'll end well! This one will be Rafael vs the Icecus.

Chapter 19

Rafael was flying at full speed through the jungle at the Icecus's puirsuit.

Then, he stopped as he saw her waiting for him on a branch in a open area.

Too preoccupied by the rage of Bia's death, Rafael immediately flew toward her.

Then, he landed on a branch not too far from his opponent's one.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

The Icecus grinned.

Icecus: "Happy to see that you've come, assassin."

Rafael didn't changed his mod.

Rafael: "I'm not here to play; I'm here to kill you!"

The Icecus simply chuckled.

Icecus: "You, a simple assassin, killing me, a goddess? Anything else?"

Rafael had enough of her little games and quickly charged at her and made impact with her, sending the two of them to the ground.

(Assassin's Creed 3 theme begun playing)

As the two slowly went back on their feet, Rafael quickly took his sword and charged at the Icecus, ready to kill her.

Suddenly, the Icecus blocked his attack with an ice sword which she justly made appear with her power.

Rafael: "What?!"

Then, the Icecus pushed him away, luckily, he landed on his feet and looked back at his oponnent.

This last one grinned at him and lifted her ice sword toward him as a provocation.

Icecus: "Bring it on!"

She didn't had to ask it twice as Rafael charged at her with rage.

Then, the two birds began a sword fight, striking steel against ice.

They blocked each other's attack nonstop.

Despite mastering the sword since long ago, Rafael couldn't manage to injure the goddess of ice.

Eventually, the two birds jumped away from each other, taking a break from the sword fight.

Rafael: (Darn it! She's good at sword fight! Am I too old for this fight?)

He though as sweat was flowing on his head.

Suddenly, he noticed that the Icecus lifted her free wing toward him.

Before he could do anything, she shot a ice beam toward him.

Luckily, Rafael dodged in extremis, only his sword got touched.

Then, after landing on his feet, Rafael noticed his sword covered of ice and, suddenly, broke down in thousands of little ice bits.

Rafael: (Darn it!)

Then, he turned his head to see the Icecus charging another ice beam at him.

He immediately flew away behind the trees and bushes to being hide from her attacks.

The Icecus calmed down a bit and looked around.

Icecus: "Show yourself, assassin! You can't hide from me!"

Rafael was listening to her, hiden behind a tree on a branch.

Rafael: (How can I attack her? I have no swords anymore. I still got my crossbow and my hidden blades along with some bombs and my bladed ropes.)

Suddenly, an idea jumped in his mind; he could use the eagle vision to show him the way.

He did so and closed his eyes and focusing his assassin spirit.

Then, he opened them to see through the eagle's eyes and see the way to take.

Then, he jumped out of his hideout and shown himself to the Icecus.

Rafael: "HEY, DUMD FACE! I'M HERE!"

As soon as she saw him, the Icecus shot a ice beam toward Rafael.

This last one flew off from his branch and begun flying around the fighting zone.

The Icecus tried to shot many ice beams at Rafael only to hit the background.

Icecus: "Would you stop moving?!"

Rafael continued like this for a moment.

Rafael: (Now!)

He though as he suddenly took his bladed ropes in his wings and flew toward the Icecus.

This last one tried to slash him with her ice sword, but Rafael dodged and begun wrapping the ropes on the Icecus.

Icecus: "Hey! What are you doing?"

She asked as her body was now almost completely covered in ropes.

Then, Rafael took his crossbow and shot each tips of the ropes with blades to different trees in the zone which resulted in the Icecus being lift up with ropes tied all over her.

Icecus: "I...Can't...Move..."

She said as she struggled to get free in vain as the ropes were too strong.

Then, Rafael grinned at her before taking some thing in his wing; a lighter!

The Icecus looked in horror as she knew what Rafael was going to do.

Rafael activated the lighter.

Rafael: "This is for Bia..."

He said as he let the lighter fall on one of the ropes, sending fire to it which resulted in all the other ropes taking fire too.

Then, all the ropes took the fire to the Icecus and putted her whole body on fire.

She screamed to hell in pain as the flames were burning her helpless body.

Finally, her scream fadded as she slowly died in the fire.

Rafael: "Riposare in pace"

He said as he slowly walked away from the fire and flew away from the zone.

Wow! That was intense! Did you liked it, guys? By the way, the last phrase Rafael said means "Rest in peace" for the ones who don't know =)
