Chapter 12: Uranus
Setting: God of War III. Immediately after Kratos finished assembling the Labyrinth.
Narrator: After activating the Labyrinth, the cubic platform that Kratos was standing on suddenly shifted. Kratos dug the Blades of Exile into the sides of the wall. As the Labyrinth shifted, Daedalus screamed. Suddenly, his screams stopped. A door suddenly opened up. Kratos started to climb over to it. Before he could enter it, a large rumble suddenly shook the Labyrinth. One of Kratos's blades fell out of the wall. He quickly dug it back in. Suddenly, a giant hand broke through the wall below Kratos. It slammed onto the side of the Labyrinth and started to move upwards. Kratos climbed until he reached the end of the wall. He grappled onto a nearby hook and threw himself onto the top of the Labyrinth. The hand moved away from the top of the Labyrinth and went back down. Suddenly, a giant body (head-first) slowly rose until its chest reached the top of the Labyrinth. It looked like a Titan, evidently male. He had a very large body, even larger than the average Titan (including Cronos). He looked stronger, too. Even more than Atlas, judging by his six-pack and his buff arms. Beyond that, he looked like the average Titan. His body was extremely dark, even more than the modern sky at night. He had glowing dots throughout his body: stars, galaxies,
etc. He placed a hand on the side of the Labyrinth and glared at Kratos (similar to the way Perses glared at him).
Unknown being (in a very deep voice): Kratos. The destroyer of all. You dare ascend into my domain?!
Kratos (shouting): You no longer control the sky, Uranus!
Uranus: I may have lost my power eons ago, Kratos, but the sky is still my domain. I've grown weary of you, Kratos. Because of you, I've lost my only sons that were not a major disappointment. I've despised them for their betrayal, but they were still my legacy. You also killed my wife, Gaia.
Kratos: I surprised you still care about Gaia after all she's done to you.
Uranus: I could care less about her, Kratos. What's done is done. Something you and the rest of my descendants don't seem to understand.
Kratos: I swore to get revenge on Zeus and I meant it, Uranus!
Uranus: That's because hatred plagues your mind, Kratos! Cronos made a mistake ending my rule. I have returned to take my rightful place as ruler of the cosmos! Without the Gods and the Titans, there's no one to stand in my way! And killing you shall be my first step to domination!
Narrator: Uranus started to slam his fist down onto Kratos. Kratos evaded at the last second. He glared at Uranus and took out the Blade of Exile. During the fight, Uranus slammed his fists at Kratos. Every once in a while, stars would leave his body and fly at Kratos. After getting hit by a star, part of the Labyrinth started to break and Kratos soon realized that he had to defeat Uranus before the Labyrinth was completely destroyed. Whenever Uranus slammed his fist down, Kratos attacked his arm. If he was given an opening, Kratos would fire the Bow of Apollo at Uranus's face. Eventually, Kratos weakened Uranus enough to attack him directly. He rushed up to Uranus and climbed up his arm. Uranus tried to smack his hand at Kratos but missed. Kratos jumped onto his face and blinded him with the Head of Helios. Uranus yelled out, then grabbed his face. Kratos jumped off at the last second and landed on top of the Labyrinth. Uranus started to swat at the Labyrinth at random. Kratos dodged out of the way when Uranus almost hit him.
Uranus (screaming): You'll parish here, Spartan!
Narrator: Kratos noticed two large pillars of Onyx on either side of the Labyrinth. While Uranus was momentarily blinded, Kratos ran over to the one on the left of him. He started to destroy it with the Nemean Cestus. Eventually, he succeeded and the pillar broke apart. A large portion of it fell off, forming a stake. At that moment, Uranus recovered. He growled at Kratos. The fight resumed as before. Eventually, Kratos weakened Uranus again. Instead of attacking him, he started to destroy the other pillar. After a few seconds, the pillar broke apart, creating another stake. At that moment, Uranus recovered and attacked Kratos. Eventually, Kratos weakened Uranus again. This time, Kratos did attack him directly. He rushed up to Uranus's left hand and stabbed his wrist with the Blade of Olympus. Uranus yelled out and grabbed his hand. Kratos yanked the blade out of him and rushed over to Uranus's other hand. Uranus tried to attack him, but Kratos evaded at the last second. He jumped onto Uranus's other hand and stabbed his wrist. Uranus bellowed in pain. Kratos yanked it out of him and jumped off of Uranus's hand.
Uranus: I look forward to this, Kratos!
Narrator: The fight resumed. Despite the deep cuts in his wrists (which wouldn't heal), Uranus was still a match for Kratos. Eventually, Kratos weakened Uranus enough to launch a final attack. Kratos rushed over to one of the stakes and grappled it with the Blades of Exile. He swung it at Uranus. The stake fell right into one of the cuts in Uranus's wrists, pinning him to the wall. Uranus cried out, then glared at Kratos. Uranus started to fire large stars at Kratos. Kratos avoided them as he rushed over to the other stake. When Kratos reached it, he grappled it with the Blades of Exile and swung it at Uranus. Uranus grabbed it at the last second. Kratos rushed over to the edge of the Labyrinth and jumped off of it. He took out the Wings of Icarus and flew over to Uranus, who tried to attack Kratos with stars again. When Kratos reached him, Uranus tried to hit him with the stake but missed. Kratos grappled Uranus's hand and pull himself toward him. He took out the Nemean Cestus and punched Uranus's hand, which hit the side of the wall and got stuck. Uranus dropped the stake. As it fell, Kratos dived down until he was underneath it. He took out the Nemean Cestus and punched it. The stake flew up until it reached Uranus. It went straight through the cut on Uranus's other wrist and pinned him to the wall. He roared as Kratos activated Icarus's Wings. He flew until he was above Uranus. He started to dive toward him. Uranus fired more stars at him but missed. Kratos took out the Blade of Olympus and stabbed Uranus in the middle of his chest. Uranus bellowed again. Uranus's chest exploded and Kratos got shot through the air. As he flew above the Labyrinth, he grappled it and landed on the side of it. Kratos hoisted himself up and turned to Uranus. Uranus's head, arms, and legs all writhed. He let out a weak cry. Then, his head, arms, and legs all hanged to the side of his body, lifeless. Blood started dripping out of his chest. Kratos stared at his corpse for a moment, then headed for the side of the Labyrinth that contained the open door (which thankfully, wasn't damaged in the fight). He jumped off the Labyrinth and grappled the side of the wall. He climbed until he reached the edge of the door. Then, he jumped into it.
AN 1: I hoped you all liked Chapter 12. Tell me what you think and please leave a review!
AN 2: I based Kratos's fight with Uranus on his fights with the Colossus of Rhodes, Cronus, Zeus (in God of War II), Clotho, and the Hippocampus.
