Yet another crossover story I made in this site. it's a crossover between God of War and The Bible. Note that i don't own God of War. enjoy the story!
The Kingdom of Heaven...
All was quiet. The cool breeze of the wind passes through the angels, as the they converse with each other.
Michael was the one who floats in the sky, watching over their activities. "Damn it...most of our personnel has been killed off." Michael said.
Gabriel gave him a pat in the back, "Don't blame yourself, brother. It's out of your knowledge that Lucifer decided to bring along his...'toys'."
"I just...I could've done something more." Michael said in a light tone, "They all died a senseless death."
"Lucifer is at fault here. His desire for revenge ruined everything." Gabriel replied, his expression turned into anger.
"If Father just gave him what he want, maybe we..." Michael stopped in the middle of his sentence.
But before they can talk any further, suddenly, the sky darkened.
"You sense something, brother?" Michael asked Gabriel.
Gabriel shook his head as a response. Michael frowned, before deciding to scan for some trouble. As he looked down, what he saw...is going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
"FATHER! IT IS I, LUCIFER, THE SON YOU HAVE NEGLECTED! I HAVE COME TO BRING YOU THE DESTRUCTION YOU DESERVE!" The incoming figure exclaimed, while multiple warships followed him along. The figure stood like an iron, a giant blade he held in his hand, overlooking the sky above at the edge of the warship.
Michael and Gabriel was in a state of shock. "Lucifer..." They both muttered the name.
Near Egypt...
Kratos and the ape, who was named Yashir, walked through the desert for near hours.
"Do you wish to kill me in this place? Is that what you have been planning all along?" Kratos asked, looking at him coldly.
"Oh..no, no, see...the garden is far away, and this is the only route that I can find." Yashir explained. Kratos growled, "The only route is to kill me, is that correct, ape?"
"W- why would you think that?" The ape asked, frustrated.
"Either you are playing dumb, or you are very uneducated. This place has no water, no food, nothing to sustain us both. We brought nothing but flesh and blood, and you expect us to survive in the next couple of hours?" Kratos asked a rhetorical question, "Do you expect me to eat your flesh?"
The ape backed up in fear, "W- wait, no, no! That's not what I mean-"
"I thought the garden was near the sea, that's why you did not bring any edible items for us to eat. Well, then, if you wish to make me starve, at least allow me to savour the moment you die by my hands." Kratos slowly unsheathed his blades.
"N- no! The garden is near us, trust me!" The ape begged.
Kratos replied, "I can see the expression of honesty, and yours, ape, is not one of them."
The ape then quickly pointed to the front, and Kratos quickly looked at it. Kratos widened his eyes. The ape is indeed telling the truth...or at least...just a portion of it.
"Ah..at least you have some proof. Good then, you are not going to die today. Consider that as my mercy." Kratos said as he sheathed his blades.
An hour passed, and they finally reached the garden. Kratos raised his eyebrow, "This...seems odd."
"Why do you say that?" Yashir asked. Kratos replied, "A garden full of trees...placed in a middle of nowhere. An odd place indeed." He said suspiciously.
"Ah, nothing to worry abou-" Yashir was interrupted when an angel came in front of the gates to the garden, "State your business here, mortals."
The angel wears a golden helmet in the back of his head, his armour covered in bronze materials, his wing spreads majestically, his shoes is made out of gold, silver wing-like attribute spreading out of it.
"I have come to take the fruit from the tree of life." Kratos replied, "And you are?"
The angel replied, "I am a Seraphim, the Great Angel, Uriel. I have guarded the gateways to immortality for thousands of years. Mortals like you are not allowed to touch it."
Kratos lowered his eyebrow, "Let me pass. The tree is important to me."
"Important so that you can gain your desires, right mortal? No. I will not allow it." Uriel replied, unsheathing his flaming sword. The blade was named the Sword of Piercing Souls.
"Do not mistake my needs to eat the fruit as a means to gain for myself immortality, Uriel. I want it for something more, far more important." Kratos replied.
"Like what?" Uriel stared at him threateningly.
Kratos opened his mouth, "To regain something that I once lost.." He clinched one of his fists tightly, his expression is that of an unadulterated rage.
Uriel held his weapon, ready to fight, "You are not worthy of the fruit. The Lord has put me here and trusted the garden to me. I won't let it fall into the hands of a commoner!"
Kratos stared at him blankly, "If that is how it is...then fine." he unsheathed his blades, preparing himself to fight. Yashir stayed himself out of the fight, watching what unfolds next.
God of War 3 - Hercules boss fight, plays.
The angel, Uriel, traversed himself faster than the eye can follow, appearing in front of Kratos instantly, "You-" Kratos was interrupted when a fist hit his face head on, causing him to fall into the ground.
Kratos immediately stood, swinging his blades towards where the angel used to stand, only to see that he was gone.
The blades destroyed dozens of trees in its wake, as Kratos pulled it back into his hand, "I did not come here for a 'hide-and-seek' game, Uriel." He demanded.
Uriel suddenly appeared from behind, swinging his sword towards the spartan. Kratos quickly turned and blocked the attack with both of his blades, struggling to push it back.
With his powers, Kratos could've instantly murdered this angel apart, but now that he lost it, he's now stuck to his old self...the strength of a spartan that used to serve Olympus in order to seek redemption from his past.
Kratos kicked the angel's leg, causing him to be stunned, pulling back his sword. Kratos quickly slaced the angels upwards with both of his blades, making him bleed all over the place.
The angel quickly recovered himself, as his wounds healed slowly, "Your skills are remarkable, warrior. Perhaps you can join us?"
Kratos ignored it and launched himself towards Uriel. Uriel grinned, "That's the spirit."
Uriel lifted up his sword to block Kratos's attack. As their blades clashed with each other, the garden was shook by their shockwave.
Kratos swung his blades again, but was met with another block from Uriel. Kratos then started spinning both of his blades, confusing Uriel.
But though that happened, Uriel dodged every last inch of the attack. Kratos then ended the attack with a slam to the ground, causing the blades to explode in fire.
Uriel barely dodged the impact, as he blasted a beam with his sword, as Kratos was hit by it.
Flying towards dozens of trees, Kratos recovered himself, as he saw Uriel already there, charging at him.
Kratos switched to his already received staff, as he blocked the sword from hitting his body.
"The...S- Staff of Damnation?!" Uriel said in shock, "Where did you get that?!"
Kratos didn't respond, but instead, pushed the sword away, before spinning it to gain momentum.
As he finished, Kratos hits Uriel in the back, causing him to fly away from the impact. Recovering himself, Uriel floats in the air, "That warrior is odd...I have never seen him before. Who is he? How did he get the staff?"
Kratos suddenly appeared behind Uriel, hitting the angel's head as hard as he can with the staff, making him dizzy.
Uriel tried so hard to keep his eyes open, as he looked around to find Kratos.
Kratos then appeared in front of him, choking him in the neck, before slamming him into the ground.
Kratos then switched to his Blades of Chaos, readying himself to impale Uriel in the chest.
As his blades collided with the ground, Uriel had already regained his visions, disappearing from sight immediately.
Kratos lowered his eyebrows in frustration, then removed his blades from the ground.
The spartan looked around, searching for any signs of the Archangel. Suddenly, Kratos sensed a blast coming straight up his way.
Dodging the attack, the beam destroyed dozens of trees.
Kratos saw Uriel already there, with his sword intact. Uriel let out a roar, before charging at the spartan.
The former wargod impaled the charging angel, as he slammed Uriel on the ground using the chained blades.
He then called out the souls of the eagle and the serpent from his staff, as they try to maul the Seraphim.
Uriel dodged one of the serpent's tail attacks, as he slashed the creature's chest. The serpent immediately disappeared, but then the eagle came, gripping the Seraphim in his hair.
Bringing him flying up into the skies above, Uriel slaced the creature's feet, causing it to disappear in an instant, as the creature fell to it's supposed doom. When it collided with the ground, the eagle disappeared and went back to the staff to regain its energy.
Uriel charged himself back to Kratos, preparing to strike him. Kratos blocked the attack using his blades, as their weapons clashed with each other.
Kratos's bone cracked in an instant due to how great this Seraphim's strength is, "Give up, warrior. Your strength is admirable, but recklessness will be your downfall."
"Won't...stop..until...the fruit is mine!" Kratos used all of his strength to push Uriel's sword away, as he gave him a headbutt to stun him.
Kratos then used his blades to repeatedly slice the Seraphim, first in the forehead, second in the arms, third in the legs.
Kratos then slammed Uriel in the ground. Not even a second passes, Uriel rolled out of the way and shoved his sword towards the spartan. Being cocky that the sword will impale the spartan, he said, "I'm sorry, but I had no cho-"
Kratos caught the sword swiftly, as he looked at the Seraphim with a terrific look. Pulling the sword away from the Seraphim, he kicked Uriel away, sending him a few meters off.
Kratos slowly walked towards the Searphim, with the flaming sword in his hand. Kratos swung the sword, causing Uriel to bleed.
Uriel growled, before blocking another attack by Kratos with his golden wrist. Kratos kept swinging the sword wildly, as the Seraphim struggled to block them all, some of the attack landing a hit on his body.
God of War 3 - Rage of Sparta, plays
Uriel struggled to keep himself intact, pool of blood rests below him. He scoffs, "That warrior...damn it..." as he coughed another pour of blood.
Kratos let out an ear-shattering roar, as he sliced Uriel again, causing him to scream in pain. Kratos sliced again, and Uriel's blood was like a river, streaming down the ground.
Kratos kicked Uriel away, causing him to fall into the ground. Kratos then sheathed the sword, before punching the Seraphim into the ground wildly, as blood splatters everywhere.
Kratos then grabbed the angel by his head, before throwing him into the nearest tree. Approaching him slowly, Uriel tried his best to stand back up, "I will...protect...this garden...even if...if...I die..."
Yashir, who was watching the whole fight happens, backed away in fear. Yashir foolishly thought that Kratos was going to be killed in this battle, but it happened the opposite. If he ran away, his family would be killed, and so would too all the apes.
But if he stays, he will die, knowing that he fully-known lied to the spartan. He was having a hard time to decide, as he hear another scream came from the Seraphim.
"WHERE. IS. THE TREE OF LIFE?!" Kratos screamed to the top of his lungs. Uriel said in a choked voice, "N- Never...never..."
Kratos punched Uriel again, "WHERE IS IT?!"
Uriel smirked, "You... you'll manage...without me...will you?"
"Do you wish to anger me, Seraphim? The tree of life... I must eat it... or else...or else..." Kratos looked away, "Or else I'll lose them..forever.."
Uriel raised his eyebrow, "Who?"
"Believe it or not...Seraphim...I care not for my own well-being." Kratos admitted, "If I have to die to get them to live again, then I'll do it."
"W- what are...you talking about?" Uriel asked again.
"My friends...those that I care about." Kratos replied. Uriel knew what he meant, and couldn't help but feel bad. Uriel foolishly thought that Kratos was going to give his friends, whoever that is, the fruit so that they'll live.
This warrior risked his life just to come here and take the fruit...for his friends? Kratos had gained Uriel's respect, unbeknownst to Kratos himself.
Uriel thought, that whoever Kratos is talking about, is dying. Kratos came here to get the fruit to heal them.
Uriel smiled gently, "The fruit is yours. I shall tell you of the location."
Kratos was shocked, "What?!"
Uriel stood up, as his wounds slowly healed like usual, "You have earned my respect, warrior. Having yourself worked up like that not for your own selfish desires, but for your friends."
"What treachery is this?!" Kratos asked again, not believing what Uriel just said.
"Follow me." Uriel ordered, as he walked away, struggling to do so, his wounds still hurting him. Kratos followed him along, when they reached their destination, the tree of life was in front of thekr sight.
The tree shines in its glory, blinding those that are near it.
"Take it." Uriel said, before pointing at the tree. Kratos replied, "Is this some kind of...trap that you have set for me?"
Uriel replied with an unamused look, "Do I look like the type to set traps and deceive people? Take the fruit already."
Kratos frowned, before approaching the tree. Grabbing the fruit in his palm, he opened his mouth. Uriel raised his eyebrow, "Is he going to...?"
Kratos ate from the fruit, crunching it slowly, before swallowing it whole. Before Uriel can stop him, Kratos suddenly screamed to the skies, "FRUIT! GIVE ME BOTH JESUS AND SARAH BACK!!"
Nothing replied, only silence follows. Uriel stepped forward, "What are you..trying to...do?"
Kratos looked at him, "The wish...it didn't...work?"
"What wish? The fruit only grant you immortality." Uriel replied back.
"But I do not seek immortality!" Kratos replied back, his eyes frowned.
"The tree of life only grants you immortality, that is all, warrior." Uriel said again.
Kratos felt himself betrayed again. His rage was undescribable. He slowly walked, "That...yammering moron...lied to me.."
Uriel replied again, "Yammering moron?"
"The ape..he promised me that I can wish something that I've lost once. He lied..." Kratos replied back.
Uriel knew who he was talking about...or rather, what. "The ape that God cursed once for breaking the sabbath..." Uriel muttered to himself, "They brought you here?!"
"All I asked from them was water, and they refuses to give it to me." Kratos said again, "Instead, the fruit was their trading point."
Kratos felt betrayed. He didn't wish for immortality, now that he got it, he can't have the feeling he wanted so much, the peace of death.
Before Kratos can even move an inch, suddenly, a vision engulfed him...
...
"Are you awake yet, little human?" A voice entered the spartan's ear out of nowhere.
Kratos slowly opened his eyes. Looking to the side, he said, "S- Serpent?!" He recognized the creature.
The serpent didn't seem to acknowledge him, before saying, "You finally acquired immortality, do you, Adam?"
Kratos raised his eyebrow, "Adam?"
The serpent seemed sad, "Never thought my plan would fail this way. How inconvenient..."
It continued, "But I will find a way to get rid of you both. You, and your pathetic wife, Eve."
"I...I will not let you both destroy every beauty that is inside of this garden. I know it, I've seen it...the future. The future of the incoming monsters...that is humanity." The serpent said, terrified, "Even if it takes my life, I'll get rid of you both."
Kratos was dumbfounded, "I am no Adam, serpent...have you lost your memories?"
The serpent didn't respond, but instead, replied with a different topic, "I don't know why God chose you to be the ruler of this world...a monster such as yourself."
"Even if God opposes me, hear this, Adam..Mark my words, I will stop at nothing until I get rid of you. The fate of this world rests upon my effort." The serpent said again, before disappearing.
Kratos then receives another vision..
It was Lucifer, crawling on a fiery ground, "FA...THER..." He struggled, his wounds still fresh.
"Demon King..." Kratos muttered, his rage rose.
Lucifer then looked to the sky, his tears still streaming down, "Please...let me back in...I...I will make it up...I will pay for everything." He covered his eyes, crying uncontrollably.
"I promise...I promise..." Lucifer begged. He looked at himself, at the curse that his Father gave to him.
"Father, forgive me..." Lucifer said in a light tone. He was abandoned, left alone in the darkness that is Sheol.
Kratos approached the Demon King, lifting him up by his neck, "Stop this charade! Where is Sarah?! START TALKING!" But Kratos's hand went through Lucifer's body. This was a vision, after all.
"What is this..?" Kratos asked himself, "Did the fruit...do this?"
Lucifer faced against the ground, crying again. Suddenly, he was faced by the other demon-like angels, looking at him maliciously.
Then, they began hitting the soon-to-be Demon King repeatedly. Kratos was suddenly brought back to reality as the events unfold.
Back at the Garden...
Kratos quickly opened his eyes. Uriel was already there, crouching on the ground, waiting for him to wake up.
Uriel looked at him, "Are you well, warrior?" the Seraphim asked, concern can be seen in his face.
Kratos only nodded. Uriel replied, "That is good to hear. It seems that you have been fooled by one of those accursed creatures. I feel sorry for that."
Kratos suddenly asked, "Your wounds...?"
Uriel shook his head, "It's okay. I have felt worse. It's understandable."
Kratos suddenly remembered that he can't die anymore. He had eaten from the tree of life. "Am I destined to suffer?" he asked himself.
"Why are you saying that?" Uriel asked. "Immortality is not a gift. It is a curse." Kratos replied, "I have desired death for so long..." he clinched his fists, "My final task was to save Sarah, and that's it." He finished.
"No, warrior. Your life is valuable, and so does the rest of all creations. Death is not the solution." Uriel said again, "When the time comes, maybe God Himself can take you to His home when you die. But suicide is not the way to it."
"I have no desire for pleasures and paradise. I only seek peace." Kratos replied again. He then stood up, "No matter, I will save her."
"Where are you going?" Uriel asked, his concern showing.
"I will do whatever it takes to save her.." Kratos replied. "Here is your sword." Kratos gave the Seraphim the flaming sword back.
Uriel shook his head, "It's yours, warrior."
Kratos stood there for awhile, before pulling back the sword, before nodding. Kratos then walked away, sheathing the sword away. He had no time to lose. His energy was finally restored.
The apes and immortality, they can wait. Kratos went out of the garden, and saw that Yashir had already fled the garden.
"Coward." Kratos said to himself, before he disappeared out of sight.
Kingdom of Heaven
Multiple corpses of the angels fell into the infinite abyss by Lucifer's wake. He looked to the heavens, "BRING ME MORE, FATHER! I ENJOY SLAUGHTERING YOUR KIN!"
More angels come by, as they charged at the Demon King. Lucifer brings up his sword, killing them almost instantly.
Suddenly, a big, bulky figure almost destroyed half of the ship by going through it. Lucifer looked back, hoping to see the mysterious challenger.
The figure was an angelic being, wearing silver armour on his chest, his arms and shoulders left unprotected. He has a leaf at the top of his head, his hair spreads around his head, a beard can be seen on his facial surface.
"God's favourite little Archangel has come back to bring us our 'destruction'. To what do I owe this pleasure?" The figure said, smiling mockingly.
Lucifer frowned, "Camael...the Archangel of war and strength..." He muttered the name.
