Kratos turned repeatedly, slightly panicking in his surroundings in the new world, unsure of how he had gotten there. He had climbed up to where Zeus was on Gaia and was blasted with a massive bolt of lightning, but instead of finishing the former god, it somehow sent him into a new dimension. But he did not know what had become of Gaia or the other titans and without him and the blade of Olmypus, they stood no chance against the gods.
"Gaia! Titans, where are you?!"He shouted, spinning around and looking all over, still not finding anyone.
"Who are you?" A voice similar to his said.
He turned to see a man with markings that were somewhat similar to his tattoos. "True warriors offer their names before asking someone for theirs." Kratos replied.
"I am Asura." The man replied.
"Kratos." The Ghost of Sparta replied.
"What are these titans you're talking about and are you talking about the planet? That is the only thing called Gaea here." Asura asked.
Kratos huffed, then started to turn. "That is none of your concern, Asura." He said, preparing to walk away.
As Kratos was about to walk away, he felt a hand grab his shoulder. "I think it does." Asura said, glaring at him.
Kratos snarled, then slammed his body into Asura, knocking the demigod back. "Know this Asura, no one who has stood in my way draws breath any longer." Kratos said, swapping his weapons for the Nemean Cestus.
Asura responded by growing 4 more arms, rushing at Kratos, who also rushed, using the boots of Hermes to match up to Asura's speed. The two warriors slammed their fists into each other, but unfortunately, the arm Asura had swung was shattered by the massive gauntlet combined with the strength Kratos had put behind it. While the demigod was off guard, Kratos swung his other fist, slamming it into Asura's chest, throwing the former general back once again.
With a scream of rage, Asura rushed back at his opponent, mantra surrounding him. He fired bursts of mantra and his rocket fists at Kratos, who sent them back at Asura, slamming them into him. Quickly, Kratos switched to his nemesis whips and swung at the recovering Asura, both cutting him and electrocuting him. It wasn't as bad as Deus', but it was enough to stun Asura. Kratos took this opportunity to rush in with the boots once again, readying the blades of Athena (keep in mind, this was JUST before he got those from Athena's ghost). He slammed them into Asura and continued running until he slammed the demigod into a cliff wall, then repeatedly stabbed the wrathful general.
However, the stabbing was doing very little to Asura, although it was working to slowly weaken him, but he could still fight. He raised his three right fists and slammed each one into Kratos' head, sending the God of War flying back. Kratos rolled and recovered, charging back at Asura. He readied the Blade of Olympus and threw it through Asura's chest, stunning him long enough for Kratos to swing his two smaller blades and remove the rest of Asura's arms.
Asura shouted in rage once more, rushing again at the Ghost of Sparta. Tired of the fight, Kratos swung his blades at Asura's head, severing it. He drew the blade from the fallen warrior's chest and, to be sure of his victory, he slashed the body into a few more pieces. Putting all his weapons away, Kratos was about to leave when he heard another voice not too far away.
"Impressive. You killed Asura. But who are you?" The voice called.
Kratos turned to see a man who's skin appeared to be made of the same material as Asura's. He appeared to be older than Asura, but not by much. He also dressed slightly more traditionally. The biggest fact that stood out to Kratos, however, was how the man had a golden mask over most of his face.
"One should give their name before asking others for theirs." Kratos said.
"Very well. I am Yasha of the Seven Deities. I ask again. Who are you." Yasha asked, stepping forward a few feet.
"I am the Ghost of Sparta, Kratos." The God of War answered.
The two glared at each other for a moment, both sensing that the other was NOT on their side. Then, without warning, they rushed at each other once again.
Reasons for the outcome:
1: The boots of Hermes put Kratos up on par with Asura's speed, possibly a little faster.
2: The Nemean Cestus are incredibly heavy and strong weapons. Combine that with Kratos' godly strength,it would easily be enough to break one of Asura's Vajra arms.
3: The Golden Fleece would most likely be able to reflect Asura's attacks, as it only failed against the strongest attack Zeus could possibly manage, which I'm assuming would be stronger than any of Deus', who packs more power behind each blast than Asura.
4: I honeslty might have dragged that out a little long, considering Kratos is more of the slasher type than the brawler/stab type, so he might've started with his blades, which is Asura's weakness.
5: Kratos is actually a very strategic, tactical fighter, as he was Sparta's greatest general in his time and we also see how he uses the environment and mounted weapons to his advantage, so he is a more tactical, inventive fighter than Asura.
6: Kratos is also incredibly unpredictable due to the way he can swing around his chains, so in retrospect, Asura would have to get insanely lucky to even get near Kratos, let alone hit him.
