GOD OF WAR: FATES' DECREE

Kratos held his already hurting ribs as blood continued to come from the cuts on his body. His eyes were wide with fear as he stood there gazing at Sephiroth's completely healed figure. He smiled wickedly and began to approach Kratos.

"Ah," he said smoothly as he continued approaching, "You are indeed worthy of your name, God of War."

Kratos smirked.

"I now see how you were able to kill the Sister's of Fate."

Kratos was shocked.

"What do you mean they're dead? They just spoke to me before I ended up here!"

Sephiroth laughed.

"You are truly a fool Kratos. The Sister's have been dead for so long and yet, you keep seeing and hearing them. Perhaps, he has been playing too roughly with you."

"Who is 'he'," Kratos dared ask.

Sephiroth laughed again. He walked up to Kratos' battered body. Then he pushed the Spartan backwards. Kratos fell back onto the platform. When he arose again, in fury, he was in the plane with the doors on each platform. He looked around and found he was alone. Then, Sephiroth's voice appeared from nowhere.

"Kratos, the world you know is but one of many. A singular door in a multiverse of realms."

Kratos looked at the door next to him as he continued listening to the voice.

"You see, The Sister's of Fate were charged with governing all worlds and realms. When you killed them, disaster was wrought on all worlds. You saw this yourself with the portal that opened up in your world and took you with it."

Kratos stomped the ground, causing his pain to grow and his fury to overflow.

"What?! Are you saying I am the cause of my own disappearence? That I have caused myself to go through the places I've been," Kratos bellowed.

Sephiroth laughed.

"Kratos, do you remember your journey through the Sister's Temple? The engraving of pictures you saw on the walls in their home? Remember the etching of the Three Travelers following a guiding light?"

Kratos thought back to the drawing, but could not find any thoughts. He supposed he just didn't care.

"You are one of the those three, Kratos. You are one of the Three Travelers in that picture."

Kratos stomped the ground again.

"Impossible!!! How could all this be? I know they could not of predicted these things? It's impossible," Kratos yelled as he hit his fist into the ground.

Sephiroth laughed. Gathering himself, Kratos stood up and began to speak again.

"You tell me the Sister's are dead. Yet I have heard their words once more. And even so, you said they told you to eliminate me. Which is the truth!?"

Sephiroth laughed once more.

"Oh Kratos, you amuse me so. It was necessary to see you in action, so I provoked you by saying the Sister's told me to kill you. The other...," he said pausing.

"Was me," another male voice echoed throughout the realm.

Kratos looked around, trying to place the voice. The door in front of him slowly opened. Kratos walked forward, peering through it. IT led to another platform and so he entered. Kratos found himself on a large platform surrounded by numerous white doors of a design he was unfamiliar with. As he limped to the center, a dual laughing filled the air. He turned and saw behind him Sephiroth, emerging from a black, mysty void. Then he turned and saw another black robed figure with his hood down appear. The newcomer had the same silvery hair, but his was much shorter and more spikey than anything.

"I was the voice of the Sister's of Fate," he said calmly.

Kratos stared at him in disbelief.

"It was to test you, Spartan, to make sure you were truly worthy to become one of us."

"Who are you and what is us," Kratos said.

"I am Xemnas, created from the nothingness of a strong heart and Wielder of Fate. Sephiroth, the one you just battle, is also a Wielder of Fate. You Kratos are the third and last of the Wielders. We were bestowed these powers once you killed the Sisters. And we had to test you to ensure your passage and prowess."

"So you threw me into these other worlds to test my strength? Was not the slaying of Ares, Athena, the Sisters, and almost Zues enough for you?1"

Xemnas and Sephiroth smirked.

"Kratos, we were not part of your world. And though we saw your victories with these new powers, we did not know the magnitude of their power. And so, we decided that you must be tested and we are very please with the results," Sephiroth spoke, his words full of venom.

Kratos clenched his fist.

"You've proven yourself worthy Kratos. Now join us and we will govern all life within our grasp and become the new Brothers of Fate," Xemnas called, pride filling his voice.

Kratos turned to look at both and glared at them.

"No, I refuse your offer! I would rather die!"

Both of them frowned and then sighed at the latter's refusal.

"So, you would rather side against us, Kratos? To what good would that do you, if you could not even defeat Sephiroth?"

Kratos stamped the ground.

"I know now what I have for limitations and I tell you now, I could destroy both of you!!"

The two silver haired beings laughed.

"Such a fool Kratos," Sephiroth said as his sword formed in his hand.

"You do not know what kind of power you are messing with," Xemnas said, two red energy rods forming from his hands.

Kratos closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, appearing in a form of electricity, the chains appeared around his arms and the Blades of Athena in his hands. Then his wounds healed themselves completely and Kratos was whole again. Then he held his swords out defiantly.

"Come forth and meet your end at the hands of the God of War!"

The other two warriors assumed their fighting stances and prepared for a final battle.
