Description[]
Marvel Vs. God Of War! It's a fight between the angriest men alive. Will Kratos kill the Emerald Monster or will The Hulk SMASH the Ghost of Sparta?
Interlude[]
(Cue Invader - Jim Johnston)
Wiz: Rage, a state that usually comes with stressful situations and blind actions.
Boomstick: To some persons, the rage acts like a motor that propels their lives, helping them to become stronger and reach their goals.
Wiz: And completely enraged, the following returning combatants are here to prove who’s the strongest. They lost to their former adversaries, but today one of them will emerge victorious.
Boomstick: Hulk, the Emerald Monster.
Wiz: And Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta.
Boomstick: He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win… a Death Battle!
The Hulk[]
(Cue Lonely Man)
Wiz: Born in a dysfunctional family, the Doctor Robert "Bruce" Banner held a few relationships. Maybe he wasn't the most popular person in the school, but what he lacked in popularity, he made up tenfold with his intellect. Despite that, what he really wanted was something that he would never get, the love and respect of his father.
Boomstick: Mostly because Bruce was so smart, that his alcoholic pappy, a well-know physisist and researcher of atomic energy, thought he was a kind of monster. Talking about that, his daddy expressed how much he hated his child by some rude ways, like-
SLAP!
Young Bruce is send flying by a slap coming from Brian Banner.
Boomstick: Damn! That's child abuse! But for some reason, I feel like I saw this before.
Wiz: I don't know where, Boomstick. Anyway, when his wife finally decided to put a stop to the abuse, Brian killed Bruce's mother in front of his own son. Thankfully, Bruce was then raised by his aunt for the remainder of his childhood.
Boomstick: But all that pent-up rage from his childhood abuse had to go somewhere... hence his imaginary friend he called the Hulk.
Wiz: Something quite normal on childs, since most of them have imaginary friends. Even I had one.
Boomstick: Yeah! I had one too! But once I was seven years old, dad told me "go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely", and I never saw him again since that day.
Wiz: Dad? But you said that your father left you when you were a baby!
Boomstick: Dad was my imaginary friend.
Wiz: Oh... Well, Bruce's friend served as an emotional outlet all the way through his college graduation, however, his advice to Bruce was oftentimes... Destructive....
Boomstick: After graduating, Bruce was approached by General Ross... Who has an awesome mustache, by the way... To develop the gamma bomb. Funny to note that Bruce wanted to create a weapon that could destroy weapons and buildings, but spare lives... Because that's not how those things work.
Wiz: And he eventually took in his father Brian after his many years in a mental hospital... until he tried to murder his son in front of his mother's tomb, causing Bruce to accidentally kill him in self-defense.
Boomstick: Okay, let's just get to the part everyone knows. When the gamma bomb was about to be tested, some teenager walked into the test area and Bruce ran out to save the guy, pushing him into a protective trench, but was too late to save himself as it went off.
Wiz: On that strange, strange day, Bruce's imaginary friend became a real life terror, as he transformed into... The Incredible Hulk.
(Cue A Little Help)
Boomstick: And what simply began as a man trying to run from the military would soon become one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, having joined to a lot of superhero teams, like the Defenders or the Fantastic Four, he even had a team full of Hulks! But the most known team where Hulk was, are the Avengers.
Wiz: So, with his girlfriend Betty Ross seemingly being the only person able to calm the Hulk back into Banner, and often being pursued by his nemesis Thunderbolt Ross who is also Betty's Father, Bruce is often on the run while trying to find a cure for his problem and keep calm as much as he can while at the same time battling super-villains.
Boomstick: Like a badass green monster!
Wiz: Well, originally, the Hulk was grey and a mutation that could only happen at night time, but he eventually turned green and transformed due to adrenaline... And anger.
Boomstick: And when this happens, you'd better get out of this thing's way.
Wiz: The Hulk's personality has gone through many variations over the years...
Boomstick: Including one that likes wearing suits...
Wiz: But the most common appears to be the Savage Hulk. Despite the name, Savage Hulk is child-like and kind, only being driven over the edge when attacked. In many ways, it is the embodiment of Bruce when abused as a child.
Boomstick: Yeah, and despite being one of the founding Avengers, even predating Captain America joining, he's been on-and-off more times than you can count. As often as he's been a huge asset to the team... It's kinda hard to keep tabs on a guy who repeatedly levels small cities in his fights.
Wiz: Which led to a group of superheroes called the Illuminati placing him on a rocket and jetisoning him off the Earth, where he crash-landed on the planet Sakaar. He was forced into becoming a gladiator of this barbarian tribal world for the entertainment of its corrupt imperial regime.
Boomstick: Before Hulk smashed it, of course. Bruce and the Hulk were on good terms, he married a wife, who was soon expecting a kid, and led Sakaar... before the rocket that sent him there in the first place blew up, killing her and untold others... And its energy actually boosted the Hulk's strength even further. Being a reasonable guy, Hulk swore revenge and went back to Earth to take on the Illuminati that sent him there to begin with.
Wiz: His rampage ensued, though even then, Hulk ensured no loss of innocent life.
Boomstick: Because despite everything, Hulk was still a hero. A hero that wrecked the ass of most of the Earth's strongest heroes!
(Cue Hulk's theme)
Wiz: And that means, that The Hulk needed more that being a monstruous entity. In fact, Hulk has many abilities at his disposal, that makes him what he actually is.
Boomstick: Like his insane, INSANE, strength. However, in order to get that strength, he sacrifices Bruce's brain power, but that doesn't matter as he can smash the crap out of everything with his bare fists!
Wiz: Due to his strength, The Hulk can also leap great distances, being able to move faster than jetlines with his leaps, meaning that he can reach at least mach five speeds. He can also survive the harshest envinroments, and despite looking like just a bulky monster, he can to move at incredible speeds, showing himself like a green blur when running.
Boomstick: Hulk is also very durable, not only because how tought he looks, but thanks to his also great regenerative power. This Emerald guy's regeneration has been confirmed to be one of the most potent healing factors in the Marvel Universe.
Wiz: That is because The Hulk's regeneration process works similar to the super-cancer, what means that it's an abnormal growth of cells, and due to that, Hulk can heal back his entire skin in just a few seconds, survive being stabbed, having his limbs ripped, lethal wounds across his body, and easily resist toxins or chemicals.
Boomstick: But Hulk's healing factor isn't perfect, maybe it's greater than Wolvie's or Deadpool's, but it can still be burned out, like the time Zeus punched him so hard that he actually fucked up! And despite getting his healing factor downgraded because of that, he still managed to withstand and heal back from his torture!
Wiz: Aside his immense strength and healing factor, Hulk also possesses other ways to counter his enemies, like the Thunderclap, a powerful shockwave that the Emerald Monster can send to his enemies and Hulk's most relied on range attack. With this, Hulk can throw away entire group of men and armies, push back explosions, destroy entire buildings, make the Earth for miles around to tremble, and if needed, Hulk can clap and use the shockwave to fly
Boomstick: Are you serious? That sounds really stupid!
Wiz: Yeah, I'm not kidding. Anyway, Hulk's body is also a living conduit for gamma radiation, working like a gamma battery by creating and radiating gamma energy, and he can use this radiation to empower himself. In fact, he can release enough energy for his strikes to have the same effects as 5,000 nuclear bombs, and due to his almost limitless supply of radiation, he is almost undrainable.
Boomstick: And all of Hulk's capabilities can grow up exponentially if he's angered enough. When his anger grows, so will do his strength, speed, durability, destructive power and the radiation he emmits. Thanks to this, he's a damn beast!
Wiz: And due to his power relying completely on how much anger he has, it's called to be infinite. As a fact, The Beyonder, one of the most powerful cosmic beings in the Marvel Universe, cannot measure The Hulk's full strength.
Boomstick: But one day, the same day when Hulk came back to the Earth in order to get vengeance over the heroes that sent him to the space, a revelation come up, one of Hulk's friends on the planet, Miek, was the one responsible for their deaths all along, prompting the Hulk to go... Worldbreaker.
(Cue That is the Target)
Wiz: A state that can only be obtained when Hulk taps into that immeasurable rage to the fullest, becoming a bigger and stronger version of himself. This form boosts Hulk's physicality up to unimaginable heights, and provides him large pockets of gamma radiation that his body emits at every moment, making Hulk a monstrous and green lamp.
Boomstick: The World Breaker Hulk is so powerful, that the gamma radiation he emitted caused earthquakes around North America, and his mere footsteps alone endangered fucking the entire eastern seaboard!
Wiz: And to prevent any and all civilian casualties, Banner subconsciously created barriers to keep the Hulk's power at bay. The higher the danger, the more toned-down the barriers become. He and the Hulk have even occasionally joined minds to take on their greatest threats.
Boomstick: The Green Goliath went from a few impressive things here and there to just full-on unstoppable. He's taken planet-destroying attacks point-blank and survived blows from Galactus, Thanos and Zeus, destroyed an asteroid that has twice the size of the Earth, can leap 1,000 miles in a single leap, even reaching Earth's orbit in less than 0,1 seconds, withstood insane heat and cold without falter, regenerated all of his skin and even his limbs, can react fast enough to touch the Silver Surfer while pursuing him, caught Spider-Man several times, blitzed the crap out of a robot that was blitzing both Nova and Northstar, and threw the shape-shifting dragon Fing Fang Foom to the moon.
Wiz: He's moved the immovable Blob, stopped the unstoppable Juggernaut, defeated The Red Hulk, Hyperion, The Thing, Dr. Strange and several other heroes. The Hulk also matched the Sentry and even Thor while he was under Warrior's Madness... Which increases all of the Asgardian's strength and stamina ten times. Plus, he stood up after his son, Skaar, punched him with a hundred trillion tons of shifting lithosphere, and held up a 150 billion ton mountain.
Boomstick: And one time, when a planet's tectonic plates started splitting apart, threatening to shatter the whole world, he just jumped right in there and pulled the planet back together.
Wiz: The estimated average mass of a single lithospheric plate is nearly 45 quintillion tons, and The Hulk pulled two of these together with nothing but his bare hands.
Boomstick: If that's not enough for you, he's resisted psychic attacks from the likes of Professor X, defeated his more powerful future self Maestro, and at one point lived up to his Worldbreaker title by destroying an entire planet in the Dark Dimension. Seriously, there's just too much to list for this green guy, and while he is pretty incredible, he's not invincible. He's vulnerable to draining him of his gamma radiation, which the Red Hulk used against him, and can be calmed down by some individuals, such as his old love Betty Ross.
Wiz: Funny enough, Hulk has been brought down by S.H.I.E.L.D. luring him with puppies and even a joke from Spider-Man so funny he reverted back to Bruce Banner while laughing. Also, the Hulk does not generally start his transformations at maximum strength. He needs time to gradually build up to his higher levels, which can leave him vulnerable to more powerful foes and leaving his skin able to be pierced by adamantium and vibranium. Again, The Hulk's regeneration can be outaxed, and despite his incredible resistance to force, even the Hulk could not escape the young mutant Tempus' time bubble.
Boomstick: And at one point, Banner used a variation of Extremis to create Doc Green, which gave him Banner's intelligence and the Hulk's power at all times, so much so that he could easily rip apart pure adamantium... But before old Wolvie would start shaking in his boots, it was for a limited time only. And even after creating a supplement that could allow him to sustain it, he turned it down out of fear of becoming his evil future self. Why you refuse more power?
Wiz: However, the Hulk has managed to overcome many of his age-old faults, such as his weaknesses to gamma bombardment and knock-out gas.
Boomstick: So, keep this in mind, if you meet a guy called Bruce, don’t even try to piss him, ‘cause when Bruce gets angry, oh boy, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Iron Man flies across the city, being followed by a gigantic beast that destroys everything at its way.
Iron Man: Okay guys, I'm bringing the party to you.
Natasha tilts her head after hearing what Tony said.
Black Widow: I don't see how that's a party.
Bruce turns towards the monster that's following Tony, and he slowly walks at it, while Steve Rogers follows him from afar, stopping in mid-walking.
Captan America: Doctor Banner, now might be a good time for you to get angry.
The doctor smiles, looking at Steve while he sighs.
Bruce Banner: That's my secret, Captain... I'm always angry.
Bruce turns at the monster again, slowly becoming green and less than a few seconds later, hulking out and throwing a powerful punch at the Leviathan, stopping its flying with great ease.
Kratos[]
(Cue Brothers of Blood)
Wiz: Long ago, back in the ancient Greece, two kids were born. The two were Demi-god children sons of the King of Olympus himself, and the human women Calypso, but just one of them was destined to be a great warrior, and the bringer of the destruction of the Olympus.
Boomstick: A few years after these two were born; Zeus received a warning from an oracle, in which she foretold him that Olympus would one day fall by the hands of someone known as the Marked Warrior.
Wiz: And after seeing that the younger of the two brothers had an unusual birthmark all over his body, Zeus assumed that the Marked Warrior was him, Deimos. Little that he knew was the Marked Warrior he was suppose to be concerned about was standing right next to Deimos.
Boomstick: Witnessing his brother getting kidnapped, and with having little to no power to do anything, the eldest brother decided to don a tattoo on his body that greatly resembled his brother's birthmark. And as he grew older, he eventually became the very thing he's always dreamed of becoming; A Spartan General.
Wiz: The greatest of all of them, but what seemed to be a dream becoming real, would only end as the young general’s despair, and one of his greatest tragedies. He soon found a great obstacle in his reign as a Spartan, an army of Barbarians. The two armies fought, but the Spartan Army was easily outmatched, but just asAlrik, the Barbarian king, was about to kill the eldest brother, the young general pledged an allegiance towards the God of War, Ares, that if Ares helped him to destroy his enemies, the marked warrior would be his humble servant towards the very end.
Boomstick: The God Of War accepted the man’s offer, and helped him to fuck off the Barbarians, and even gave the general a pair of badass blades. However, one day Ares said, "HEY! You know what'd be awesome?! Tricking my strongest warrior into killing his own wife and child. Yeah I like that idea.” And so he did, in order to make the general a great warrior, I guess.
Wiz: After killing everyone in a village that didn’t worship for Ares, he evenly noticed that he accidentally killed his family in a blind fury, and the oracle of placed a curse on him, that he should forever wear the white ashes of his deceased family on his skin until the end of time.
Boomstick: Since that day, the whole world met the warrior as the Ghost of Sparta, and more importantly, he made a vow to himself that he would one day avenge his family, and above all, kill the God of War. And with that, he ensured that all the gods met his name, Kratos.
(Cue Rage of Sparta)
Wiz: Kratos started his slaughtering following his promise, killing other warriors, titans, and even gods in his way. Even then, Kratos hadn’t the amount of strength to defeat Ares, so he traveled to the Pandora’s Temple in order to find the Pandora’s Box and get its power, enough to achieve what he wanted.
Boomstick: And right when he was about to open it, he felt that immense power through his body, and-
Kratos’ stomach is seen being stabbed by a gigantic pillar coming from the gigantic Ares, that was around the other side of the world. Seconds later, a lot of blood spills from Kratos’ mouth as he falls to the ground, dying.
Boomstick: That pillar-spear too. Damn, that Ares guy really had a good arm and aim! Now I’m guessing who’s better between him and Bruce’s pappy.
Wiz: But even after dying, Kratos didn’t give up, and surpassed the flames of the Underworld to exit from it by a hole from the mortal world to the Underworld, dug by an Old Man known as the Graver, AKA Zeus.
Boomstick: ‘Cause of course resurrection works, like that.
Wiz: Kratos of course continued after coming back to life, finally reaching Ares and fighting him, buuut-
Boomstick: Ares beat the crap out of him and sent Kratos to another dimension where he could be with his family. Looks like his former master wasn’t bad at all!
Wiz: But one hundred clones of Kratos and the dimension being destroyed just ruined the party. And guess what? They tried to kill Kratos’ family, and in response the Ghost of Sparta killed all of them, alone, managing to defend his family, and although his wife and daughter weren’t real, he still achieved to see them again, to later escape from that alternate dimension with Athena’s help and test his might against Ares one more time, this time, killing the God of War.
Boomstick: After killing the ol’ Ares, Kratos got the title of God of War. Kratos also went to a few other travels when his vengeance was already finished and in one of those he wanted to find his younger brother, Deimos. At the end, he managed to save him from the hands of the god of Death, Thanatos, and they fought together against him. However, like everything Kratos loves, Deimos was killed too. At least, this time the tattoo guy wasn’t responsible for that.
Wiz: But that didn’t stop Kratos to live his life as a god, until he got tricked, again, this time by Zeus, who gave him a powerful sword to defeat the Colossus of Rodhes, The Blade of Olympus.
Boosmtick: A 5 feet long baby that is imbued with godly energy. Just look at it, it’s beautiful.
Wiz: In exchange for using the Blade of Olympus, Kratos lost all of his godly powers, and become a demigod again just to be greatly injured when the Colossus of Rodhes abruptly fell on him after being defeated. Knowing that the real marked warrior was Kratos, Zeus then took the Blade of Olympus, and taking advantage of the bad shape the Spartan had, he-
Boomstick: Impaled Kratos and killed him… Again! What a shame, right?
Wiz: Also killing almost all of Kratos’ warriors.
Boomstick: But again, this demigod just escaped from the Underworld, and started another revenge adventure, like always.
Wiz: Determined to take his avenge over the gods, Kratos went through many places, annihilating whatever got in his way again, even killing the Sisters of Destiny and going back to the past via Time Traveling in order to get his army alive again, and later move on to the time when Zeus killed him, to fight the King of Olympus one more time.
Boomstick: Wait! If he managed to time travel, why didn’t he just save his family before the flames of his rage got them killed?
Wiz: Good question, Boomstick, but… I actually don’t have an answer for it. Maybe his revenge was more important this time?
Boomstick: Or maybe Kratos is just dumb.
Wiz: Anyway, Kratos defeated Zeus but didn’t kill him because his god sister, Athena, got in the way right when the Spartan landed the dead blow, killing her instead. Many things happened after that moment, involving Kratos into another adventure where he killed all of the remaining gods, including Zeus himself, finally completing his revenge.
Boomstick: Not all of them… Heheheh.
Aphrodite is seen in a bed, half-naked and doing some sexy moves until Kratos approaches to her and the camera moves away to where Aphrodite’s servants were, and the moans of Aphrodite and Kratos are heard all around. The image quickly changes to a few little puppies cutely barking and playing in a basket.
Wiz: The puppies are more appropriate for the audience!
Boomstick: I wouldn’t kill her too, I mean, look at those huge-
Wiz: Boomstick!
Boomstick: What? I was about to say huge eyes.
Wiz: Oh, I thought-
Boomstick: But her boobs are huge too.
Wiz: Damn it.
(Cue The Vengeful Spartan)
Boomstick: So, this guy is pure muscle, has killed every Greek god and even fucked with one of his godly sisters, Aphrodite. That means he’s very tough, right?
Wiz: Yeah. As a demigod, Kratos possesses superhuman strength, endurance, reflexes, and above all, determination. He's strong enough to lift gigantic boulders, overpower his half-brother Hercules, and his reflexes are fast enough to both dodge Hermes, and even managed to grab him.
Boomstick: But aside his superhuman capacities, he also possesses a fuck-ton of different weaponry, artifacts and magic at his disposal, most of them stripped away from their former owners during his slaughtering, with his most iconic weapon being those incredible flaming dual blades.
Wiz: Now originally, Kratos once carried the Blades of Chaos, which were bestowed towards him by Ares himself. However, when he fought his former master, Ares, as well as his half-brother, Ares ripped him of his blades.
Boomstick: That is until Athena decided to bestow the other form of the Blades of Chaos.... and the she bestowed another pair a few years after that. These are the Blades of Exile, twin shortswords with a hook at the end bound to Kratos' arms by chains, which grants Kratos a long reach, and is able to both latch onto ledges, and his soon-to-be-dead victims. The Blades of Exile are imbued with fire properties, and are pretty good for close and long ranged combat, transforming them into quite badass blades.
Wiz: The Blades of Exile are also linked to a magic called Army of Sparta, which summons a phalanx of Spartan spirits to defend him, and also attacks nearby foes with spears and arrows. Aside that, the Fire-power and strength of the Blades of Exile can be greatly increased thanks to Thera’s Bane, which allows Kratos to pierce through and destroy otherwise indestructible armor and shields, and to plant exploding fiery cores in his foes.
Boomstick: The Blade of Artemis is a giant two-handed scimitar once used by Artemis to slay a Titan. This sword may be slower that the Blades of Exile, but it’s still hella strong! Kratos also has other heavy weapons like this one, such as the Barbarian Hammer, a heavy, spiked metal hammer originally owned by the Barbarian King. This hammer is slow too, but it’s incredibly powerful, can generate shockwaves that knock foes off-balance, and summon cursed souls to attack enemies.
Wiz: The Arms of Sparta are Kratos' original weapons, a spear whose hits are stronger than those of the Blades of Exile and that can be used as a projectile, and a powerful shield that can block incoming attacks, becoming Kratos’ most versatile weapons in his arsenal. The Spear of Destiny is a dual-bladed spear that has a great range and can extend and shoot exploding crystals. The Claws of Hades are hook-like chains that allows Kratos to both rip the souls out of anyone who gets hooked on, as well as also summon certain souls of monsters to assist him in battle, like Cerberus, Gorgons, Chimeras, Cyclopes and Centaurs. The Claws of Hades can be telepathically controlled by their owner too and also let Kratos to dodge quite fast.
Boomstick: The Nemean Cestus are a pair of giant gauntlets in the form of a lion, they’re short ranged weapons that greatly boosts his strength, and allows him to generate powerful shockwaves like the Barbarian Hammer, to break Onyx... or fuck up a poor bastard's face! There's also the Nemesis Whip, three chains with each of them carrying claw-like daggers on each end, and while they’re weaker than the Blades of exile, Kratos can swing them at really high speeds, and can electrocute anyone who stands in his way by slashing at them or by throwing strong blasts of electricity!
Wiz: The Bow of Apollo allows Kratos to fire normal and flamed arrows as fast as a machine gun. The Gauntlet of Zeus is a gigantic gauntlet once used to chain the Titans in Tartarus, being a devastating weapon that can shatter stone and iron, shoot powerful energy beams, and that is capable of killing immortal beings. The Sun Shield is a golden shield that can block and detour enemy attacks, as well as energy beams.
Boomstick: The Icarus Wings are a pair of 18-foot long badass black wings that Kratos ripped from a poor angel’s back, that he uses to fly for short periods of time. The Golden Fleece is a golden armlet that can parry attacks and return every enemy projectile, and it’s much stronger than the Sun Shield, being capable of deflecting the Blade of Olympus itself.
Wiz: The Boots of Hermes are a set of winged greaves that greatly increase Kratos’ speed, allowing him to move and hypersonic speed and to run along walls. The Oath Stone of Orkos can create a living clone of Kratos. The Amulet of Uroboros and the Amulet of the Fates have the power of chronokinesis, being able to slow down surrounding enemies while Kratos moves at normal speed, and can also repair and decay large structures. The Head of Helios is-
Boomstick: Wait! Is that literally Helios’ head? Damn it! How does that works?
Wiz: As you see, Helios’ head glows with a really bright light, so Kratos’ uses it as makeshift flashlight, and it can also be charged to temporarily blind surrounding enemies.
Boomstick: Funny enough, that’s not the only ripped head Kratos has in his arsenal, as he can also use Medusa’s Gaze and Head of Euryale, basically the same item but with different name, that can turn his enemies into stone, however those strong enough can resist to these ladies’ gaze.
Wiz: Poseidon’s Trident allows Kratos to breathe underwater, and the Eyes of Truth hold the power of prophecy, giving Kratos visions of the future. These eyes are capable of shattering illusions and magic barriers too. And finally, Kratos’ strongest weapon, one forged by Zeus himself-
Boomstick: Also my favorite of his arsenal, the godly Blade of Olympus. Have I said that this sword looks really beautiful before? No? Then I’ll say it! This shining baby’s beautiful!
Wiz: Infused with the power of the God of War, The Blade of Olympus is a powerful blade forged from the Heavens and the Earth. It can fire blasts of godly energy, and plus, this mighty blade has the capacity to wipe out an entire army of Titans... Provided if it's being wielded by a God.
Boomstick: But even if it's wielded by a Demigod like Kratos here, it's still pretty damn powerful! It can effortlessly wipe out almost any dumbass mook who stands in Kratos' way, with just a swipe or two, and it's even capable of slaying immortal beings like Zeus or other gods.
Wiz: Now moving on to magic, this demigod has some electric-type ones, like Poseidon's Rage, which surrounds Kratos with a ring of electricity, and rains lightning down on surrounding enemies. Crono’s Rage lets Kratos summon electrical spheres that electrocute and stun foes, and work as mines too. Zeus’ Fury allows Kratos to summon and throw thunderbolts, and Eye of Atlantis lets this Spartan attack foes with fierce lighting.
Boomstick: Then we have the fire-type ones, Efreet, a powerful fire spirit that Kratos can summon to attack enemies, and Charon’s Wrath, a mask that can be used to blast foes with ravenous flames. Typhon's Bane is a bow-like magic that fires gusts of wind instead of arrows, and the Horn of Boreas is, y’know, a horn, that can be used to summon icy tempests that freeze foes.
Wiz: Army of Hades allows Kratos to summon the souls of the dead and command them to attack his enemies; Atlas Quake lets Kratos create powerful earthquakes by punching the ground; Light of Dawn throws orbs of bright light, and finally, one of Kratos strongest magics: Scourge of Erinys, a power that neither mortal nor god should wield. With it, Kratos can summon black holes that consume nearby foes, also draining their life force and giving it to Kratos.
Boomstick: And thanks to some magic, Kratos can imbue his weapons with different properties. With Fire of Ares he creates devastating fiery explosions and sets his weapons on fire. Lightning of Zeus enables powerful lightning magic and electrifies Kratos’ weapons, and Soul of Hades imbues this Spartan’s weapons with the souls of the dead, and gives Kratos the power to summon the Arms of Hades to fuck off his foes.
Wiz: And while the magic is a powerful source, his mana tires out quite fast.
Boomstick: What’s not really a problem because one of Kratos’ godly possessions, Poseidon's Conch Shell, which provides him Infinite mana.
Wiz: But that not the only useful godly possession, he also has the Daedalus's Schematics, those give Kratos infinite item energy, meaning that he has infinite ammo for the Bow of Apollo and some other items. Hercules's Shoulder Guard negates a third of all damage taken and the Orkos's Cloak regenerates Kratos' wounds over time.
Boomstick: But over all those things, Kratos’ triumph card is the Rage of Sparta.
Kratos screams as he’s completely surrounded by a bright yellow light, and begins to slaughter a lot of enemies around him with incredibly fast and strong moves of his Blades of Exile.
(Cue The End Begins)
Wiz: A state that Kratos achieves when he taps into his inner rage, using all of his godly power to greatly increase his strength, speed and resistance. This state is normally limited by an amount of time, however, thanks to Zeus's Eagle, other of his relics, it can last forever.
Boomstick: And Just look at those crazy moves! He’s a beast!
Wiz: But the two things that Kratos has that make him partially a monster among men are his rage, and, believe it or not, Hope.
Boomstick: Yeah, the rage is… Hope? WHAT? I’m okay with saying that this guy’s fueled by his anger, after all, he's almost always screaming and yelling with rage, but how is he powered by Hope?
Wiz: Well, remember when Kratos opened Pandora's Box for the first time?
Boomstick: The same that contained all the evils on the world, and that led him to his first dead?
Wiz: Well, yeah. Now originally, when Kratos opened the box, he, along with the other Gods believed that Kratos absorbed all the evils, so that he could have the strength to slay Ares. However, what really happened was that the evils flew out of the Box, and infected the God of Olympus, which resulted in them becoming corrupted and infected by a certain evil. And while all that's going on, Kratos, unknowingly absorbed the power of Hope, which granted him an untapped power, which gave him the strength to slay the Gods. However, it can only be used if Kratos absolves himself of his past sins.
Boomstick: Hope? Okay that’s good, but believe me when I say that he's still one of the most dangerous fighters, showing a lot of incredible feats. He is strong enough to defeat powerful titans such as Atlas and Chronos, and even managed to stop the latter when he tried to crush on him. Kratos effortlessly tossed away the gigantic Colossus of Rodhes when it tried to step on him, overpowered Hercules, the strongest man in the world, in a power struggle, and later screwed his face with his own gauntlets.
Wiz: He has been impaled, stabbed, crushed, burned and beaten by various monsters, gods and heroes, and he’s still alive like nothing, and even if he died a few times, he just escaped from the Underwolrd like it was child’s play. He’s a very capable hand-to-hand combat, can master every weapon with a few looks, reacted to and even caught Hermes, who managed to avoid the flashlight coming from Helios’ head, and to Zeus, who moves at lightning speed.
Boomstick: Without saying that he singlehandedly slaughtered a hefty chunk of the Greek pantheon! That includes and uncountable amount of beasts, titans, Gaia, Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Thanatos, the Fates and the Furies.
Wiz: And almost every one of those mentioned gods have shown amazing things, starting with Poseidon, who flooded the entire world after dying. Thanatos was the god of death himself, and the Fates had the power of chronokinesis. Ares moved four gigantic mountains, and the Furies created a dimension with an entire sea inside of it, and a thunderstorm.
Boomstick: And Zeus was easily stronger than all of them, and he was still fucked off by Kratos! Also, this vengeful guy survived being stabbed by the Blade of Olympus, y’know, the sword that can wipe entire armies with a few swings, and to top things off, it was held by Zeus!
Wiz: And while Kratos can act anger-proned, he's actually rather clever and wise. He conquered the Pandora’s temple, which contained puzzles supposedly impossible to solve, was able to solve the Olympus' Garden puzzle, even while Hera doubted him, and his wisdom is so great that it almost rivals that of Athena, who is the goddess of wisdom.
Boomstick: One of his most notable intelligence feats was breaking out of Ageaeon the Heka... Hekaka...
Wiz: Ageaeon the Hekantonkheires.
Boomstick: Yeah, that guy's prison, by using Megaera's anger towards him.
Wiz: And he often uses the environment against his foes, like when he used a ship's mast to impale the head of a Hydra or the time he killed the Kraken with an extending bridge.
Boomstick: I know that all those feats sound amazing and all, but none of these surpass my personal favorite; he banged eight prostitutes at the same time, EIGHT, and had sex with the Goddess of Love herself Aphrodite!
Wiz: How do those two count as a feat?
Boomstick: Oh, they should do! They’re quite decisive factors!
Wiz: Uh, sure. Anyway, while Kratos is strong, wise, and powerful, his greatest weakness is how he can easily be blinded by rage and aggression, and despite being really smart, he can commit great mistakes, being the greatest of them the death of his daughter and wife.
Boomstick: But hey, he's slaughtered krakens, titans, and mostly gods, so you don't wanna mess with Kratos when he’s on bad mood, because what will happen to you next won’t be very nice, I ensure that.
Ares is pushed back by Kratos strength. The two have a titanic size, and are in the middle of a few mountains, fighting above a lake. The God of War is seen really tired, while the demigod, Kratos, shows himself still imposing and non-fatigued, walking towards Ares slowly.
Ares: Remember, Kratos... It was I who saved you in your time of greatest need...
The Spartan continues his approaching, showing hatred in his gaze.
Kratos: I haven't forgotten Ares, I remember how you saved me.
With repentance and sadness, Ares drives his gaze at Kratos.
Ares: That night...
A flashback of the flames of the night Kratos lost his wife and daughter is seen, and inside the flames, two silhouettes can be seen, Kratos' family.
Ares: I was trying to make you a great warrior...
The Spartan looks at Ares, then moves his sword at him.
Kratos: You succeeded.
The demigod impales Ares through his throat with his massive sword, crossing him. In the back of Ares, the edge of the blade is seen, filled with blood. Kratos then pulls the sword back, and Ares' groans are heard. The blood spills and gets to the lake, turning it into a bloody mess.
Ares: GROAAAAAAAAAARGH!
The God of War screams, then falling backwards in the lake and turning the bloody mess into a blood pool. Ares' corpse was surrounded with an orange light seconds later.
Narrator: Kratos had done the impossible. A mortal defeating a god. Ares was no more.
The God of War exploded in a white light that gets to everyplace, and said light is later replaced by a gigantic explosion that spreads around and destroys everything at its way.
Pre-Fight[]
(Cue Invader - Jim Johnston)
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set, lets end this debate once for all!
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLEEEEE!
Death Battle![]
Mount Olympus
(Cue End of Vengeance)
Long ago, the gods ruled over the entire planet. They were ruthless rulers, and across the time, some humans tried to fight them, basically achieving nothing but to being called heroes, but everything changed one day, when a Spartan called for vengeance, his family was killed because he was tricked by one of the gods, and at the same time, his own brother. Completely filled with anger, the Spartan went on a rampage, killing whatever that got in his way, and opening the Box of Pandora during his travel. Said box was an ancient and important relic, which contained the evils of the world, put there by Zeus, and the hope to fight them, brought by Athena.
When the Spartan opened the box, all those things were freed, and with that, he got the power to kill a god. For a long time, Athena thought that the demigod absorbed the evils, but the reality was other: The man got the hope, and the evils spread around, infecting the gods with them and corrupting them. In order to fulfill his goal, the demigod, known as Kratos, killed all the gods, without knowing that they were infected, jus to complete his vengeance, and that included the God of Olympus himself, Zeus, who was beaten down to a bloody pulp by Kratos, who filled with the power of hope, was the only to overcome Zeus’ power: his fear.
Since the moment when Kratos started his vengeance, to the end of it when he managed to kill Zeus, a few years passed, and after a lot of deadly fights, Kratos was still there, in the Mount Olympus, standing in the top of it and a few meters away from the remains of Zeus’ corpse, who recently exploded in a beam of light that spread everywhere, bringing the destruction to the world after dying by his son’s hands. The Spartan is staring the doom that came to the world after he killed his godly family, trying to understand the locked power he had, the hope; thanks to Pandora, he achieved it, but what use he could give to it? His goal was completed, so there was nothing for him.
“What was it, Kratos?”
Asks a voice next to him, a ghost version of his sister, Athena. Kratos looks at his hands, which were glowing with blue flames in response to the power of hope.
“All I remember is what I have lost.”
The Spartan walks from his previous position around the place, stopping after a few steps.
“That is why you should give me the power… Understand its true meaning and where it belongs. I trust you to do the right thing, Kratos.”
Meanwhile, Athena follows Kratos, whose face shows sadness and sorrow as he looks at the remains of the world, what he provoked. The Goddess of Wisdom then puts her hand in Kratos’ shoulder, who noticing this, moved abruptly to avoid her for touching him, crouching in front of the Blade of Olympus.
“You shouldn’t.”
Athena approaches at him as he says that, feeling a bit angered because that power was something she deserved, or at least that is what she thinks.
“You owe me this, Kratos!”
Hearing this, the demigod changes his sad look to an anger one, taking the Blade of Olympus from the ground and standing quickly, daring Athena.
“I owe you nothing!”
The fear flooded Athena’s mind at that moment. However, she still continued with the same look, trying to not get intimidated by Kratos’ presence.
“I made you a god. I sheltered you from the rage of Olympus. I delivered your revenge on Zeus!”
The Spartan just ignores her, closing his eyes.
“It is over, Athena.”
Kratos looks at the Blade of Olympus, and then at Athena again. In response to that, the ghost steps back.
“You would dare strike me down, again?!”
She exclaims, despaired and angry at the same time. Challenging Kratos was probably the worst thing she would have ever made.
“My vengeance… Ends now.”
The Spartan says as blue flares appear in his eyes as a flash, holding the broadsword with his two hands and slowly lifting it, while the blade is quickly filled with an immense godly energy and a few lightnings coming from everywhere.
“How could you?”
She didn’t even manage to finish those words because instantly Kratos drives the Blade of Olympus at Athena with a powerful swing. The Goddess of Wisdom flinched when she noticed the sword moving towards her, something quite predictable coming from Kratos, and even if she was already dead, the power of the Blade of Olympus was so great that even the ghosts could feel fear of it. She was ready to get killed by her own brother again; however, what came next was something she really never expected.
The move of the blade just ignores her, as the swing swiftly passes above Athena and gets to Kratos’ hands again. In a quick move, the demigod drops the Blade of Olympus after turning it, and grabs the edge of the sword with the palm of his hands, and without hesitation, he moves the blade towards his own stomach. Realizing what Kratos was about to do, Athena extends her hand at his brother and walks at him. Again, Kratos ignores Athena’s presence, and continues driving the massive blade at himself.
“AAAAAAHG!”
SWISH!
The gigantic sword impales Kratos’ abdomen completely as a lot of blood begins to spill from it like it was a water fountain. The Ghost of Sparta grabs the handle of the sword less than a second after that, and pushes the blade at him even harder, impaling himself further.
“You fool! What have you done?!”
Exclaims the Goddess of Wisdom, exalted and angry for the absurd thing Kratos has just done. On the other side, the Spartan was gasping in pain, crawling in the floor as the blood continues spilling and messing the place where he is. The demigod looks at Athena in that moment, and the same godly light that surrounded the now dark and bloody Blade of Olympus, engulfs Kratos completely as he begins to levitate, releasing a gigantic amount of energy as a large blue beam that went to the sky and dispersed around, and to the entire world. That energy, was the power of hope, that was now in hands of the humans.
“No!”
The light quickly dissipates as Kratos falls to the ground again, falling on his knees.
“That was meant for me! They will not know what to do with it!”
The two stay silent, until Athena levitates at the man, and grabs Kratos’ chin delicately, slowly approaching her face at his. His gaze still had the same disguise as before, and the demigod’s life was coming to an end with every second that passed.
“You disappoint me, Spartan.”
She separates their faces and Kratos shows a challenging smile while Athena pulls the Blade of Olympus back from his stomach, and throws it aside to then walk away from the demigod, disappearing from his sigh in a blink; blink that seemed like a complete eternity for Kratos. With the blade out of his body, the blood spilling from the great wound was a higher amount, and the pain was higher too. His gaze was flurry as well, and his energy was lesser than the needed to stand or even to keep his eyes opened. Even breathe was difficult.
BLAM!
The Spartan falls to the floor, lying on his own blood and getting unconscious instantly, apparently dying. The hemorrhage continues, spreading around and above a gigantic phoenix image. Aside that, the rain is still falling, mixing with Kratos’ blood and cleaning the place from the mess, together with the destruction brought to the world by Kratos’ vengeance. Everything was pretty much in pieces, the disaster was great, and so was the Spartan’s merit. The humans were now free from the rules of the infected gods, but at what cost?
(Music stops)
But despite the destruction, the humans still got the hope needed to keep living, and survive.
BAAAAAM!
A thunderbolt falls to the ground far away, and at the same time it impacts the earth, everything fades black for a second. When the lights return, Kratos’ corpse is no more where it was left. Instead of it, there was a pool of blood, and a bloody trail coming from that position, and ending right at the edge of the cliff, next to a high fall where a ranging and cold ocean was waiting for possible victims, showing no signs of Kratos.
Many centuries later.
(Cue Dr. Light)
The time passed, and using the hope the demigod left behind, the humans managed to reconstruct the civilization, forgetting the destruction and evolving as mankind. The people grew stronger, smarter, and completely ignored the horrible past they had, and the feats of the likes of Kratos remained as mere legends that only the sceptics believed.
Did the Ghost of Sparta really exist?
Nobody knows, but what’s really sure, is that his sacrifice, as well as others, completely changed the course of the history. Either way, there was something more important than those ancient legends, the living legends: The superheroes, people whose life became different than everyone’s because their superior abilities, capacities and some other things that make them unique. The ones who could give their own life to save others, to change the world and defeat the evil.
Around the world, many heroes teamed up together in order to confront the adversities, taking different names for their associations: the Defenders, the Teen Titans, the Fantastic Four, , the X-Men, the Doom Patrol, the Inhumans, , and above all of them, the two most-known heroes’ teams, The Justice League, and The Avengers.
Avengers’ Secret Lab
(Cue Safety)
Being one of the most important heroes group, The Avengers had a great amount of members, money and good financing, lead by Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, and with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D to make their researches and other things. And today, S.H.I.E.L.D brought something neat to Tony’s hands, which resembles to the Captain America himself because of the cold circumstances. It was a man with red tattoos all around his body, with some scars and a big one in his stomach, but any wound, a golden armlet and a pair of shortswords bound to his arms. Said man seemed sleeping, or maybe dead, and he was buried inside of a block of ice and protected by a cryokinetic capsule.
In front of the frozen man, is the owner of Stark Industries, the Ironman, Tony Stark. He has his arms crossed and he’s looking at the cryokinetic capsule, and he was showing confusion in his gaze, and a sarcastic smile. In front of him, Nick Fury is standing with his hands on his back; waiting for Tony to say a word, until Stark finally breaks the silence.
“So, what’s this? Another frozen super soldier? I think that the Cap’s enough for us.”
Nick Fury looks at the frozen man, then looks at Tony again, showing no emotions in his face and still without saying any word. Stark approaches to the capsule, and slightly touches it with his hands.
“Oh, and look, this one has a red skirt. That goes good with all those weird tattoos.”
Tony smirks sarcastically after saying that, but again, Nick Fury doesn’t answers and keeps showing the same apathetic expression. Stark looks at the frozen man one more time, and after smiling again, he changes his look to a more serious one.
“Now, seriously, what do you want me to do with this guy? I mean he’s as cold as an ice pallet. Is he still alive at least? Don't you find funny that you keep finding and finding frozen super soldiers? Because I do.”
The leader of S.H.I.E.L.D sighs before looking around, stopping his gaze at the cold man.
“First of all, he’s not a super soldier.”
Showing a fake surprise look, Tony sees the man, and then Nick again.
“Oh, he’s not a super soldier? How does he have all those muscles them?”
Nick shrugs and gives the man an exhaustive look, analyzing him.
“I don’t know where he comes from, but those symbols in his armlet make me think he’s Spartan.”
Tony lifts an eyebrow, removing his hands from the capsule.
“Spartan? Why do you think that?”
The two stare at the capsule, without knowing that the frozen guy there was the one who slaughtered all the Greek gods from the Earth, Kratos: The Ghost of Sparta, who after achieving his vengeance, fell on the waters that flooded the entire world, and after swimming unconscious, got to cold waters, where he got frozen under a thick layer of ice. For some reason all of his wounds were healed completely, probably because of his demigod powers, and his relics.
“Intuition, I guess.”
A bit confused, Tony thinks a way to know how to get who that man was. He was silent for a few seconds, until an idea gets to his mind.
“Maybe Thor knows more than us. He’s Nordic.”
After hearing Tony saying that, the confused now was Nick, because the Nordics and the Greeks had actually nothing in common.
“The Nordics and the Greeks aren’t the same…”
Says Fury, Tony just smiles in response, of course he knew that, he was one of the smartest minds in the world after all.
“I know, but Thor knows a lot of Greek people. Maybe he knows this one too.”
Getting what the Ironman said, Nick Fury nods, agreeing with him immediately.
“Well. Let’s see.”
After saying that, the two start walking away from Kratos. Nick Fury leaves the room, and Tony follows him. Stark stops his walking behind Nick and before exiting from that place, putting his hand in the mark of the door, leaning on it and looking at another open door that was inside the room.
“Banner!”
In the contiguous room, the sound of the keys of a keyboard being pressed is heard. For a moment, the sound stops, as a voice is also heard coming from there.
“What’s up, Tony?”
Tony smirks after hearing the other voice.
“Mind if you come here and keep an eye on Mr. Freeze? Be sure this Spartan guy stays frozen.”
Stark doesn’t get an answer passed the seconds, but then, a wheeled chair is seen moving through the door, with a man sitting on it, and the chair stops exactly in front of the capsule that contains Kratos. The man sitting on the chair was the fourth smartest mind in the world, the one and only Robert Bruce Banner, or just Bruce. He was calm, and apparently a bit tired.
“Sure, not a problem at all.”
Bruce nods after saying that. In response to that, Tony just smiles, giving a little slap to the mark of the door and standing from his leaning.
“Good luck then. Try to chat with him if you want, but expect a frozen talk. He’s a bit cold.”
He says while going out of the room. Just a few seconds later, the sound of a helicopter’s airscrew is heard, as Tony and Nick fly away from the laboratory.
Since Tony left, the place stood in silence for five minutes at least, until Bruce finally broke the tension with the frozen Kratos.
“So… Uh, I heard you’re Spartan. You may be the last of them I think, so, it’s proper to call you a –Ghost of Sparta–, I guess?”
Bruce puns and laughs softly while looking at the Spartan, who obviously didn’t say anything, however, something aside that happened.
SHHHHHHH
The sound of the ice melting spreads around as the two Blades of Exile begin to ignite inside of the capsule, whose glass also began to break due to the sudden temperature change. Noticing that, Bruce stands from the chair and steps a few meters back, surprised by what just happened. That situation didn’t stop there, in fact, the blades continue warming and thawing the ice, slowly freeing Kratos arms and lower body, proceeding to his chest and head.
“I know that wasn’t a good pun, I’m so-“
CRACK!
Banner doesn’t manage to end his oration because the crystal breaks suddenly, and the sharp fragments of glass are shot around at high speeds. As an instinct, Bruce closes his eyes and puts his hands forward and in front of his face, to avoid any lethal injury. Luckily any glass gets to him, and just stuck to everywhere except his body. A few seconds later, Bruce opens his eyes again, removing his hands and looking around, noticing a cloud of vapor in front of him that doesn’t let him see anything.
Bruce sighs, what was important is that he didn’t get damaged by the crystal fragments of course.
“Phew… I’m okay, I’m okay. Nothing happe-“
Again, he’s interrupted by a sudden change as he’s punched with a great force that sends him backwards, giving no chance to Banner to even notice it.
CRASH!
In a blink, he was now in the floor of the contiguous room. Greatly harmed, he tries to stand, but his body doesn’t reacts and his head hurts a lot. He looks around; trying to understand what happened, sobbing and realizing that he just broke the wall when he was throw at it, and along the cloud of vapor, there was another curtain of dust due to that. Thanks to the blow, Bruce’s gaze was flurry, but despite that, he manages to see a humanoid silhouette approaching at him with flaming shortswords in each hand.
“That... Was a great punch. I congratulate you…”
After hearing what Bruce says, the silhouette drops the pair of blades, revealing that those were bond to his arms with large chains when the sound of the metal being dragged is heard along with the one made by Kratos’ footsteps, and in response to that, Banner tries to crawl away, achieving nothing because he was already in front of the wall.
Bruce blinks in that moment, and when he does it, he sees Kratos above him, extending his hand quickly at him and grabbing his neck, raising Banner like it was just a feather, hanging him.
“Where am I?!”
The scientific coughs, having trouble to speak because of his new situation, driving his hands at Kratos’ and holding it, trying to get free.
“You’re in… A laboratory… Where we do research-”
Kratos throws Banner at another wall, this time not breaking the wall but Banner’s bones. The doctor moans in pains and coughs a bit of blood, as a green flash of light surrounds his eyes.
“It does not matter what YOU do here, what matters is why I am here!”
The Spartan quickly moves at Banner, crouching in front of him and punching his face one more time, causing Bruce to cough more blood.
“We found you, fro-“
Kratos punches the doctor a few more times, with more strength each time he hits, wounding his face and filling his fists with Banner’s blood. In response, Bruce does nothing but gasp heavily.
“Enough talking!”
The God of War gives another blow to Bruce, who sighs after taking it, and continuously another green flash appears in his eyes.
“Can you… Please stop punching me and just talk like… Civilized people? If you can’t… Well, you pretty much won’t like what happens next…”
Kratos doesn’t hesitate, in fact, what Bruce said just makes his anger to grow greater.
“I won’t, I fear nothing!”
Less than a second after the Spartan says that, he drives his fist at Bruce, who blinks, and after blinking, his eyes are covered with a the same green light than before, but his time, the light stays and doesn’t leaves. As the light appears, Kratos’ punch gets to Bruce, but it stops when it touches Bruce’s face.
(Music stops)
“Oh, you should fear…”
Bruce smiles and Kratos is shown greatly surprised, said surprise look increases when he notices that Bruce grabbed his wrist just before getting harm again. For some reason, the strength of the puny doctor was massive, so that Kratos’ wasn’t enough to get free from the grab, so, in order to end that, the Spartan pulls one of the Blades of Exile with his other hand, and after pointing it at Bruce, he moves it at him with an insane speed, however, when he was about to stab the doctor’s face, a green light sends Kratos near to the opposite wall strongly.
Then, standing a few meters away from Bruce, Kratos roars, and starts running at the Doctor, who seemed really, really angered.
“Not me…”
The light that surrounds Bruce spreads and disappears, but the one in his eyes keeps glowing. In exchange for the spreading energy, the doctor starts to hulk out, as his entire body begins to grow, his muscles become really greater and all of his clothes tear apart except his pants; but the most important thing aside his new monstrous muscles and size is, that his skin gets a notorious green tone.
(Cue MvC 3 Hulk's Theme)
“BUT THE HULK”
The Green Goliath exclaims with an imposing voice, which was not that imposing to Kratos who just continues running at Hulk, reaching the Avenger in that moment, leaping at him and holding the twin blades in high, moving them at the monster. In response, The Hulk draws his fists, driving one of them at Kratos with fury, as the two men look at the other’s face noticing the rage in their rival’s gaze.
FIGHT!
Moving really fast, Hulk’s fist reaches Kratos first, almost punching him. However, in a quick react, Kratos climbs on the beast fist, swinging one of the shortswords at The Hulk’s arm. Noticing this, The Emerald Monster shakes his limb heavily, throwing the Spartan at the wall with enough strength to leave a few cracks on it.
“HULK SMASH SPARTAN!”
The Hulk follows Kratos’ trajectory less than a second later, throwing another punch at a dizzy Kratos, who noticed the monster when it was already in front of him, leaving no option to the man but to block, what he does by putting the Golden Fleece between the two. As The Hulk punches the armlet, a heavy metal noise spreads, followed by a golden light that pushes Bruce a few inches back. Then, taking advantage of that, Kratos moves the two Blades of Exile at The Hulk, who stumbles due to the previous energy hit given by the Fleece.
SHRUK!
The shortswords pierce deeply in Hulk’s chest, and as a consequence some blood spills from the monster’s skin, who roars before quickly moving his right hand at Kratos, giving him a powerful chop that throws the Spartan aside at high speeds, but despite that, the Blades of Exile continue buried in Hulk’s chest, thus the chains extends the same distance Kratos moves with that last blow. Recovering quickly in the air, Kratos pulls the chains, being propelled at The Hulk. Noticing that, The Emerald Monster grabs the chains and takes out the swords from his body, to then pull the chains with both hands ignoring their heat and consecutively drives Kratos at the floor with a strong swing.
CRASH!
Kratos cracks the floor when he crashes with it due to The Hulk’s swing; however, Bruce doesn’t stops and pulls the chains again, this time moving them at a wall with even more strength than before, releasing the grab after the swing.
CRASH!
The wall completely falls apart as Kratos hits it, but the strength the Hulk used on that throw was really great, so that Kratos fly didn’t end there as he continued moving at high speeds towards every wall on his way, destroying them and reducing his speed with each wall that he touches until he is finally outside of the laboratory, landing in front of a great rock and in the middle of a desolated valley with an enormous space and a lot of big boulders around.
“D'Ugh!”
A bit dizzy, Kratos stands, just to see Hulk running savagely at him through the same holes he left when he struck with the walls. The stomps made by the Hulk can be heard like kilometers around, but that doesn’t impress Kratos, who takes a battle stance, holding the twin blades strongly. Then, like a green blur, The Hulk reaches the Spartan, instantly throwing a punch to Kratos’ chest that he didn’t managed to avoid due to The Hulk’s speed, throwing Kratos at the rock that was behind him and burying him on it thanks to the strength of the blow. The Ghost of Sparta moves abruptly to get out of the hole in the rock with the same shape of Kratos silhouette, but in that moment, The Hulk stands in front of him, and like it was nothing, breaks the rock and grabs Kratos left foot, and consecutively smashes The Spartan at the ground a few times like he did with Loki, to finally throw the Spartan away from him and at the open space of the valley.
The throw sends the Spartan trough the sky at great speeds, and despite the blows The Hulk gave to him, he was still pretty much intact and energetic, being able to recover in the air, looking around to find a way to slow down the fall, finding only clouds and the top of a few rock pillars.
“There!”
Kratos throws one of his shortswords at one of those pillars, and like the sword was a hook, it buries in the rock and allows the Spartan to pull himself at the top of the boulder, standing with no problem after propelling himself. On the top, Kratos walks to the edge and looks down, to see a colossal fall in front of him that probably reaches the seventy feet. Feeling no fear, Kratos prepares his blades to jump, but when he was about to, the rock moves abruptly, like there was an earthquake happening.
“What’s that?!”
The Ghost of Sparta looks at the edge again, and at the distance, he manages to see a green bulb on the base of the boulder, The Hulk.
“THIS IS NOTHING FOR THE HULK!”
Effortlessly, The Emerald monster starts to lift the seventy feet boulder like it was just a rag doll, preparing his arms to throw it. Back to the top, Kratos has a few problems to stand due to the boulder constantly moving, and knowing that the Hulk was lifting the rock, his only alternative was to jump from it quickly.
Swiftly, he buries one of his shortswords on the rock, takes a few steps backward and runs forward, jumping at the vacuum and using his shortsword as a rope. Seeing that, The Hulk instantly throws the boulder at nowhere and with a lot of force. Luckily, Kratos manages to pull the blade back to him and to throw the other shortsword at a smaller boulder just before that, quickly leaping at the ground again and standing a few meters in front of The Hulk.
CRAAAAAAAASH!
Far away, the seventy feet boulder crashes at a mountain, and due to the impact, the two rock formations fall apart as a gigantic dust curtain covers the disaster. From the valley Kratos and The Hulk are, the mountain looks like a little rock being hit by a small branch and exploding in a minuscule dusty stain.
Ignoring that, the angry men stare at each other for a second to later move their feet and start with a fierce run towards their adversary, while The Ghost of Sparta equips the boots of Hermes during his trajectory, also preparing his blades to impact in The Hulk’s body.
(Cue Colossus of Rodhes)
Thanks to the boots, Kratos’ speed increases drastically, greatly surpassing Hulk’s and reaching him in an instant while driving one of his blades at the monster, leaving golden flames after his footsteps.
SHRUK!
Giving Banner no time to react, the shortsword impales Hulk’s abdomen. Feeling the pain, The Hulk screams and tries to punch Kratos, who rolls aside and avoids without problems, then swinging his other blade at Hulk’s fist.
SHRUK!
The blade pierces the monster’s hand and consecutively, Kratos does a high leap, falling on The Hulk’s back and quickly taking the chains of his swords to moor them around Hulk’s throat and later pull them, hanging the monster with the burning chains.
“HULK HATE STUPID FIRE CHAINS!”
The Hulk screams, trying to get Kratos off of his back by moving his arms at his back and attempting to grab the Spartan, who just moves aside and avoids The Hulks’ hands. Frustrated, The Emerald Monster runs at a boulder and rushes his back at it heavily, crushing Kratos against the rock once and once again until the Spartan finally releases his grab on the Hulk, who pulls out the blades and gets free from the chains to later grab Kratos like he did before, then throwing him at the ground strongly.
CRASH!
The throw leaves a crater in the floor as Kratos hits it, getting dizzy at the instant. The Hulk approaches at him less than a second later, and when he is already in front of the Spartan, the Emerald Monster stomps at him. Noticing that, Kratos rolls aside and The Hulk’s foot gets to the floor instead, causing the crater to grow larger. Swiftly after that, Kratos throws one of his blades at Hulk, who sidesteps at that moment and dodges the shortsword, giving Kratos a chance to stand.
“I’ll make you suffer!”
Kratos manages to stand up by doing a quick leap, and with no stop he throws the other Blade of Exile at The Hulk, pulling the other. Again, The Emerald Monster avoids, moving backwards, and noticing that, Kratos continues swinging his chained swords consecutively, getting faster and closer to Hulk who narrowly avoids the blades despite them moving really fast. A few seconds later, the distance between the two was tiny, and due to that, Kratos ends with his swings and pulls both swords, holding them by their handle and rapidly slashing the flaming edge of the blades at The Hulk.
Again, Bruce sidesteps and narrowly avoids, drawing his fists and throwing a punch at Kratos, who dodges as well and drives his swords at The Emerald Monster again. Due to the proximity, Hulk doesn’t gets enough time to avoid, and one of the blades pierce his skin, leaving a small wound at his right arm and practically causing no harm to him. At the same time, the other hand of the monster moved vertically and from below towards Kratos. The Ghost of Sparta only realizes the monster’s fist moving at him when it was too late as the fist struck with his stomach, making Kratos cough some blood and also sending him to the sky at high speeds.
“THUNDERCLAP!”
The Hulks stares at Kratos and claps towards him. The sound spreads everywhere and its high frequency moves to the God of War with an insane a speed, looking like a kind of thunder wave. In the air, Kratos is shown unaware of what was coming for him, recovering after two seconds or so, just to see the sound wave that instantly gets to him and throws the man even higher, reaching the clouds with the sound hit. The Emerald Monster then crouches and a second later stands again, leaping at alarming speeds in direction to the flying Kratos. One more time, the Ghost of Sparta recovers and looks under, achieving to see the Green Goliath moving at him. Quickly, Kratos pulls out the Ikarus Wings, slowing down his flying and stopping in the air by flapping his wings, then moving aside drastically to dodge The Hulk. After being dodged, The Hulk’s jump doesn’t stops and he continues moving upwards, disappearing through the clouds and from Kratos’ gaze.
The sky stays silent after that, and the Ghost of Sparta just flies away, descending to the ground slowly as black feathers unfasten from his wings with each flap.
… … …
In that moment, the clouds tear apart, leaving a great hole in the sky as a green man crosses it at high speeds and surrounded by an also green flaming aura. Meanwhile, Kratos is still descending, calm and looking no sign of The Hulk.
“GAMMA CHARGE!”
The green man screams, and said screams gets to Kratos’ ears instantly, as the Ghost of Sparta turns slowly, noticing the Emerald Monster literally above him, with a fist in front of Kratos’ face. The God of War just sighs as the Hulk punches his back really hard. With that Punch, Kratos gets trapped inside the Hulk’s flaming aura, being rushed by The Hulk’s fist as the two approach to a mountain, falling at it as fast as a meteor.
CRASH!
The crash completely destroys the mountain with a single touch of their fall, causing a dust curtain to spread around as the result. Seconds after that, the dust starts to dissipate, showing a land similar to the one where they were standing before, and the silhouette of the men in opposite sides of said land, one being taller than the other. Then, the smaller one pulls out an object with the shape of a semi circle, and a sort of stick with a sharp end that he puts in the middle of the semi circle and that slowly begins to glow like fire.
“Prepare to die, beast.”
(Cue Poseidon)
The dust disappears completely and the stick is fired from the semi circle, revealing to be a burning arrow shot from the Bow of Apollo, which Kratos holds in his hands. Said arrow flies at the Hulk, moving like a bullet towards the monster. In response, The Hulk puts his arms in front of himself as the arrow strikes with the skin of his arms, not even piercing it, but leaving a little burn.
Feeling nothing but tickles, Bruce releases a little growl and starts running at Kratos, who aims his bow at the Emerald Monster and quickly draws another arrow which was shot at the instant, and again, the arrow just hits the Hulk’s skin and causes practically no damage. Despite having no success, the Spartan keeps shooting arrow after arrow as fast as a machine gun fires. The arrows continue striking The Hulk, only managing to make him flinch a bit but not stopping his run.
“ARROWS CAN’T HURT HULK!”
Before Kratos can react, The Hulk reaches the Spartan, quickly throwing a punch at him which Kratos avoids by jumping backwards, shooting more arrows at the Hulk after his jump and in mid air to then fall and quickly hide the bow, swapping the weapon. The Hulk throws another punch a Kratos at that moment, but when he was about to reach the Ghost of Sparta’s body, the man is imbued with a powerful lightning that spreads around as thunderbolts fall from above, hitting him and his surroundings, also getting to the Hulk and electrifying him, forcing the monster to step back.
Instantly after that, Kratos moves his entire body at The Hulk, hiding his arms and after a second or so, revealing a pair of new weapons: A shield and a spear, the Arms of Sparta. Just then, Kratos jumps over Hulk, and aiming the end of the spear at the monster, he quickly falls, scratching The Hulk’s head and pushing Bruce back to continuously, and now with his foot on the ground, throw his shield at The Hulk’s face and drive his spear at the monster’s chest.
SHRUK!
The spear impales Bruce’s chest and the shield crashes with his nose, causing his anger to grow higher as he growls like a lion and takes the shield with his hand when the object is moving back to Kratos, and with a footstep, he creates a shockwave that sends Kratos to a nearby rock and buries the man on it, and despite Kratos being thrown away, the spear continues impaled in The Hulk’s chest due to the Spartan dropping it at that moment. Hulk then proceeds to crush the shield with his hand and to remove the spear from his chest brusquely, breaking it in half.
"THIS SHARP STICK SUCKS!"
The emerald monster throws it away and starts running at Kratos, who was trying to get free from the rock.
"You're a tought one..."
Hulk is seen reaching Kratos, preparing his fists to crush the spartan. Kratos frees an arm from the rock.
"However..."
Hulk gets Kratos and drives his fist at Kratos' head. In that moment, the rock breaks and Kratos frees, however, his arm is still covered with a great amount of the rock, acting like a rock glove.
"You're nothing compared to me!"
The spartan moves his rock hand at Hulk, uppercutting the monster with it, sending Hulk away and also breaking the remainings of the rock in his arm.
