Icarus and his friends had been preparing for weeks. They knew that Silver was still out there and that he wasn't alone. They had heard rumors of a group of rebels who were planning an attack on the city, and they knew they had to stop them.
As they made their way through the deserted streets, Icarus felt a sense of unease. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.
Suddenly, a group of rebels appeared from the shadows, armed with weapons and ready to fight. Icarus and his friends drew their own weapons and charged forward.
The battle was fierce and brutal. The rebels fought with a ferocity that Icarus had never seen before, and for a moment, he wondered if they would be able to win.
But then he thought of Skyler, and her bravery and determination. He knew that they couldn't let her down. He fought harder, faster, and more fiercely than ever before.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the last of the rebels fell. Icarus and his friends stood there, panting and covered in blood, but triumphant.
As they caught their breath, Icarus realized that Silver was nowhere to be found. He wondered if he had been wrong about the rebels being led by him, or if he had simply slipped away during the chaos of the battle.
But then he saw a figure emerging from the shadows, and he knew that his fears had been well-founded.
Silver stepped forward, his eyes blazing with anger. "You may have won this battle," he spat, "but the war is far from over."
Icarus stepped forward, his own eyes cold and determined. "We'll be ready for you," he said. "We'll always be ready."
And with that, the two men charged forward, their weapons drawn. The final showdown had begun.
