A/N: Sorry if this chapter MIGHT look a little different I'm using a different version of Microsoft word right now.
This is based on my opinion
Chapter 3: Link vs. Kratos
The setting is the humongous Hyrule field with everything looking peaceful since Ganondorf had been defeated those seven years ago with everyone in the market peacefully walking around minus the group of people at one of the shops fighting for products.
Suddenly a man (Hylian if you want to be specific) dressed in a green tunic is seen running through the market which…surprisingly didn't alarm any of the people as they continued on with what they were doing as this man was always out and about to save people of all different kinds. This man's name was Link a Hylian hero who defeated Ganondorf seven years ago and also saved Hyrule countless times.
Link was running as fast as he could as he sped out of the castle and into the field. He had contacted Saria through his Ocarina only to hear that the forest was under attack by a man with dual blades attached to chains who wanted nothing more than for them to be dead.
Link could already see the flames from the forest halfway through the field and he could already feel the heat from the flames as he got closer and closer to the forest.
When Link finally got to the entrance he pulled out his Master Sword and Mirror Shield and slowly made his way towards the entrance one steady foot at a time.
Suddenly a sword attached to a chain flew out from the entrance giving Link only enough time to sidestep out of the way and backflip over another oncoming sword.
Link stood in a battle ready stance as the swords retracted into the entrance. Link stood there for a few moments before he heard a yell come from inside the forest.
Link bolted into the entrance and into Kokiri forest but what he saw caused him let out a silent gasp.
Most of the place was on fire! With trees knocked over and ashes of other burnt things lay on the ground. But that wasn't the worse of it, on the ground laid many of the Kokiri children either dead or close to it. Link saw one of the children stir, he ran over to the kid and kneeled down next to him also seeing what looked like a pile of stone next to him and also that he had a hole in his chest.
"D-d-d-don't l-l-look i-into the e-e-e-eyes" the boy said shakily which caused Link to look confused. The boy continued "t-t-the m-man that *cough* attacked us has the head of a woman with snakes for hair that can turn you into stone if you look into it" Link looked confused as to how the boy knew this until the boy looked over to the pile of stone "that used to be Mido until that man showed him the head which caused him to turn to stone *cough* he then pounded him to pieces" the boy then coughed up blood before dying.
To say that Link was infuriated was an understatement he was going to personally take care of this guy for what he did.
Suddenly two swords attached to chains flew out from a pair of bushes towards Link.
Link, surprised, jumped out of the way on instinct.
Link looked towards the bushes only to see Kratos walk out from behind them with a look of pure rage as a bloody 5 letter word spread across the screen.
FIGHT
"Where in the world am I? Some portal randomly popped out and sucked me in and now I'm here. You better start talking" says Kratos to Link.
Link stood there looking at Kratos until he noticed Medusa's head and got an idea.
"Not talking hmm? Well then you're going to have to die with the rest of these kids" says Kratos grabbing the top of Medusa's head but before he could lift it all the way up to arrows flew through the air and pierced the eyes of Medusa's head.
Kratos wouldn't have let go of the head for just that but there were bombs tied to the arrows by green cloth.
Kratos chunked the head into the air before the bombs went off and looked at Link when he noticed that the green cloth he used to tie the bombs together was from his sleeve which he ripped part of it off.
Kratos looked up into the air to see the bombs go off the moment he looked up blowing Medusa's head into pieces.
BOOM!
That one split second was all Link needed to fire 2 arrows into Kratos' leg which only resulted in agitating him.
"You think that's going to take me down? You must be dumber than I thought little ma- hey where'd you go?" says Kratos taking the arrows out of his leg only to look up and notice that Link was gone.
"You coward show yourself!" Kratos yells out, his voice echoing throughout the forest.
Suddenly two arrows flew through the wind but Kratos heard them coming and turned around and used his Blades of Exile to cut through the arrows.
Kratos focused for wherever Link could be then he saw it a streak of white moving behind a tree.
"I've found you!" yells Kratos shooting his chains forward through the tree before walking over to see what he hit.
Kratos went past the tree only to see that the white he saw was a piece of cloth from Link.
"He tricked me!" yells Kratos before hearing two more arrows fly towards him.
Unable to use his Blades of Exile fast enough Kratos used his Golden Fleece to block one of the arrows but the other buried itself into his shoulder causing him to flinch.
"Stop messing with me and show yourself!" yells Kratos running through the forest looking for Link only to run out of the forest and into Hyrule field.
Kratos also noticed the castle and got an idea and spoke.
"If you don't show yourself I will go and burn that entire castle to the ground!" he yells.
Kratos suddenly noticed a crunching sound before hearing someone yell.
Kratos saw something emerge from the forest that shocked him, a Goron emerged from the forest.
Kratos also noticed something "I see you're the little man I can tell because of your hat so you can change your form is that it! It isn't going to make a difference if you're some big rock monster or not you're going down!" yells Kratos shooting his Blades of Exile forward only for Goron Link to curl up into a ball and roll out of the way.
"What the!" was all Kratos could say before he was rammed in the chest by Goron Link sending him flying.
Link was shocked to see Kratos not hit the ground but instead sprout wings and fly towards him with amazing speed.
Goron Link was rammed in the stomach by Kratos but Goron Link reduced the impact by grabbing Kratos and proceeding to squeeze him to death. But Kratos was able to break free of Goron Link's grip then he retracted his wings before getting in a fighting stance.
Goron Link threw the first punch but Kratos dodged. It's true that Goron Link was stronger then him but Kratos had a higher advantage in speed.
Kratos suddenly shot his Blades of Exile forward towards Goron Link only for Goron Link to roll up into a ball again.
But Kratos was expecting Goron Link to do that this time and as soon as Goron Link started rolling towards him he retracted the swords back to his hands and pulled out the Blade of Olympus and waited for Goron Link to get close enough to attack him.
As soon as Link was close enough Kratos swung his sword only for Goron Link to jump up in the air and ground pound the ground just as the sword passed him causing Kratos to lose his balance and fall while dropping his sword much to his dismay.
Goron Link seized this opportunity to dash forward in ball form up to Kratos and ram him in the stomach before uncurling from ball form to Goron form and punch Kratos in the stomach and send him flying to the ground.
Kratos stood up boiling with anger then equips the Nemean Cestus and pounded the ground just as Goron Link had appeared in front of him again stunning Goron Link and giving Kratos the time to punch Goron Link in the stomach before continuously punching him the face.
Suddenly Goron Link caught one of the Nemean Cestus and delivered a punch into Kratos' stomach causing him to lose the Nemean Cestus on his left arm.
Kratos went to hit Goron Link with his right Nemean Cestus but Goron Link caught that one and ripped it off of Kratos' arm before throwing it on the ground and stomping on it flattening it.
Kratos, getting madder by the second, charged forward towards Goron Link mad as heck. How dare he challenge him the greatest Spartan to ever live! He's going to regret this.
Goron Link stood his ground ready to take on Kratos when suddenly Kratos shot his Blades of Exile forward causing Goron Link to block them in reflex.
Goron Link noticed that the chained blades were just a decoy to distract him as Kratos flipped in the air while putting on a pair of winged boots and landed on the ground before running at Goron Link.
Goron Link stood his ground as Kratos got closer not looking like he was any faster when suddenly he boosted forward at Sonic speed which surprised Goron Link not giving him enough time to react as Kratos began pummeling him from all directions.
Goron Link began to get madder and madder when he curled up into a ball and ground pounded the ground causing Kratos to stumble just enough for Goron Link to grab onto him and fling him a few feet away.
Goron Link curled up into a ball and began rolling towards Kratos.
Once Kratos saw Goron Link coming towards him he boosted forward on his Boots of Hermes.
Kratos noticed that Goron Link began getting enveloped in a reddish orange color when suddenly Goron Link sprouted spikes!
Kratos was barely able to get of the way but he was slashed against the stomach where blood came out but it wasn't deep enough to be too serious.
Goron Link uncurled from ball form and reached up to his face.
"What do you think you're doing?" yells Kratos as he sees Goron Links face begin to be engulfed in blue when suddenly a bright flash appears causing Kratos to shield his eyes.
When the brightness dimmed down Kratos looked to see Link back in his regular form.
Kratos saw Link put a mask up to his face as he began to transform. That must be what he's using to transform! Kratos boosted towards Link using to Boots of Hermes but he was too far away as he heard Link scream and another bright light flashed causing Kratos to cover his eyes again.
When Kratos looked after the light died down he saw Link in the form of a fish like creature. He transformed into a Zora!
Zora Link got into a fighting stance while Kratos burst forward using his Boots of Hermes when he saw Zora Link put his arms across his chest. Did he dare taunt Kratos! Kratos burst even faster with his Boots of Hermes when Zora Link shot his hands across his chest causing the fins on his arms to shoot forward!
Kratos barely dodged the fins as he burst forward towards Zora Link ramming him in the chest causing Zora Link to fly backwards. But the short second it took Zora Link was all it took for him to recover. Zora Link shot his hands up and flipped himself back up.
Kratos charged forward but was close enough for Zora Link to grab onto Kratos' arms as they sat there wrestling to see who would win this match of strength.
Just as it seemed Kratos was about to win the wrestling match when all of the sudden he was tripped from behind by one of the Zora Link's fin's while the other cut his Boots of Hermes into pieces. After that Zora Link's fins attached back to his arms and shrunk.
That second when Kratos was tripped was all it took for Zora Link to deliver a flurry of combos on Kratos before flipping forward and bringing his foot onto Kratos causing Kratos to crash into the ground with a grunt of pain.
Zora Link, knowing that Kratos would try something, flipped backwards away from Kratos as Kratos got up fuming with rage.
"You dare to challenge me THE GOD OF WAR KRATOS! YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!" Yells Kratos shooting his Blades of Exile forward towards Zora Link who moved out of the way but the blades hit the ground causing sand to burst out.
Zora Link was engulfed by the cloud of sand as he looked around and waited for Kratos to make a move. Kratos repeatedly shot his Blades of Exile forward into the cloud of sand which Zora Link repeatedly dodged but from time to time was getting cut.
Zora Link couldn't keep this up much longer, any longer and he'll be cut to bits! When the dust cleared away Zora Link was not expecting Kratos to charge into the cloud and ram him in the chest knocking the air out of Zora Link before unleashing a relentless amount of punches and kicks to him before grabbing his foot and slinging him forward sending him a good 10 feet into the ground causing another cloud of dust.
Zora Link stood up in the cloud panting. This is it if he doesn't think of something he's doomed.
Suddenly Zora Link realized they were in the front of the town gate. And he could see Zelda waving and walking towards him! Zora Link tried to mouth the word go to her but she didn't see… But Kratos did.
Zora Link knew Kratos' intentions and, put politely, he was angry. If he touches a hair on Zelda's head he's dead no matter if he's some god or deity. Wait a minute Deity! Zora Link pulled out the Fierce Deity Mask and slowly raised it towards his head.
Kratos saw Zora Link putting on another mask as the clouds rolled in as lighting started striking the ground near them. Kratos knew something big was about to happen. A little hostage wouldn't be bad to have in this situation.
Kratos shot one of his Blades of Exile towards Zelda as she gasped not expecting the sword to fly towards her as she closed her eyes.
CLANG!
Kratos stared in disbelief as multiple sword like circular beams cut one of his Blades of Exile into pieces. Only one left.
Kratos stared to the person who shot the beams when he saw Fierce Deity Link staring back at him with completely white eyes and a look that made even Kratos' blood run cold.
"Who or what are you?" asks Kratos to Fierce Deity Link who in turn stared back at Kratos.
"I am a Deity" is all Fierce Deity Link says causing Kratos to let out a silent gasp. A Deity as in a God! Thing's just got more interesting.
"THEN PREPARE TO DIE!" yells Kratos shooting his other Blades of Exile towards Fierce Deity Link only for that to also be cut to pieces by the circular beams.
Kratos pulled out his strongest weapon, his Blade of Olympus.
Fierce Deity Link and Kratos stared each other down with their swords in hands. Fierce Deity Link shot another circular beam towards Kratos who blocked the beam with his sword. Kratos struggled with the beam. He put all his strength into deflecting the beam away.
Kratos looked where Fierce Deity stood and realize he was gone. Where could he have gone! Kratos looked around in hopes of finding the Deity.
Kratos heard a twig snap behind him and swung his sword behind him only to have his blade clash with Fierce Deity Link's
"I let you hear me just now" is all Fierce Deity Link says as he brings his knee up into Kratos' gut with amazing force causing Kratos to lose his breath and nearly throw up. As Kratos doubled over in pain from the pain Fierce Deity Link brought his foot up kicking Kratos in the face and also causing him to drop his Blade of Olympus and send him a foot away.
Kratos suddenly started to boil with anger. The most anger he's ever had in his life. He won't lose to this… thing no matter the cost.
Kratos shot forward off the ground intending to punch Fierce Deity Link in the face but his fist was blocked by Fierce Deity Link who caught the fist.
Kratos struggled still having immense pain in his stomach. Kratos sweat slowly dripped down his forehead as he struggled with his hand.
SLASH!
Kratos stared in horror as his hand slowly slid off his body in slow motion when suddenly in one swift motion his other hand was also cut off… Kratos THE God of War had just lost both of his hands.
"AAAA!" yells the God of War in pain as he stumbles back in pain.
"You cannot win" says Fierce Deity Link walking towards Kratos then suddenly disappearing.
"You may have chopped off *grunts in pain* but your little girlfriend will take less than that to ki-AAAA!" yells Kratos in pain. In an extremely fast speed Fierce Deity Link had cut off Kratos' legs while stabbing his sword through Kratos' chest holding him suspended in the air.
"Y-y-you m-m-monster!" yells Kratos in pain as Fierce Deity Link slams him to the ground on his back.
Fierce Deity Link kneeled down right in front of Kratos' face as Kratos opened his mouth to speak.
"E-e-even i-if you k-kill me I'll j-j-just come b-b-back!" yells the God of War in pain as Fierce Deity Link takes off his mask turning himself back into Link.
Link kneels his face closer to Kratos' with a look in his eye that made Kratos tremble slightly in fear as Link utters one final sentence.
"I dare you" says Link in a cold voice that caused Kratos to be engulfed in fear as Link stood up and put his foot under Kratos.
"W-w-what are you going to do?" ask Kratos as Link stood in a stance appearing to charge up something and give a grin.
Link suddenly lifted Kratos into the air as he used his spin attack on Kratos.
The scene suddenly goes in slow motion as Kratos lets out a blood curdling scream as the sword slowly comes closer to his face.
Link looks at the ground at Kratos' remains which were nothing but pieces of flesh as Zelda walked up to Link.
"Link come inside so we can tend to your wounds" says Zelda to Link which causes Link to nod as he limps into the castle with Zelda.
WINNER: Link
