Kingdom of Hell....
Kratos caught the attack swiftly, preventing it from hitting Sarah in any way possible. Kratos slowly muttered the words, "Stay. Away. From. HER!" Beelzebub then was suddenly hit in the forehead by a force greater than before.
He recovered himself, "W- what?! How...his strength...has it been multiplied ten times over?!"
Kratos slowly walked to the captain of all demons, "You...are a monster...as I am...but you...you are the worse kind of a monster that I have ever seen...even worse than me myself."
"I will put an end to you..and believe me, it's not going to be any death...it's going to be a painful one." Kratos said, unsheathing his blades of chaos.
As he walked, his wounds are closing. He felt pain as his skins tried to pile off the wounds. Beelzebub growled, "Lord Lucifer took all of your powers! HOW?!"
"The power of Hope...is not something that you easily 'absorb'...If I have to guess." Kratos replied, his eyes turning blue, "But it does not matter anymore, does it? Your demise is what that matters."
Beelzebub roared, "I don't care! Power of Hope or not, I will still destroy you into pieces! PREPARE, SPARTAN!" he leaped off of the ground.
Beelzebub prepared to strike Kratos, but as he did, Kratos blocked the attack with his wrist, while the sword shatters in the process.
The captain took a step back, looking over the shattered pieces of what used to be his sword. "W- what...what...what?!"
Kratos slowly approached the demon, as the fiery rage builds inside of him. Beelzebub took another step back, "Damn you...damn you, damn you!" he cursed, as he tried to walk away from the enraged Ghost of Sparta.
Kratos then pulled his hand, before charging towards the captain. He shoved his fist, as it goes through the captain's chest, destroying the organs it came across.
Blood starts dripping out of his very being. The captain coughed more blood, as he weakly said, "I should've...murdered you when... I had the chance..."
Kratos scoffed, "You really threw that chance away, didn't you?" before ripping out his heart, as the captain collapses into the ground, lying as a lifeless vessel.
Kratos grips the heart even harder, destroying it with ease, while blood splatters everywhere.
The spartan looked back, only to see the unconscious Sarah. Kratos quickly rushed to her aid, "Sarah!" he called out.
As he got closer, Kratos crouched, "Sarah!" he called out again, shaking her body, "Sarah, are you well?!"
No response came. Kratos's heartbeat grow even more intense. Not now. Not her too. Kratos shook her body even more, "Sarah!" he called out her name again.
Sarah slowly groaned, as she opened her eyes. Kratos was relieved, "Sarah...are you feeling any better?!" he asked again, his concern growing.
Sarah looked at the Spartan, before quickly hugging him right away, "Oh, you little moron...where have you been?!"
Kratos replied, "I couldn't..bear to have another pain in my lifetime."
Sarah then removed herself from the Spartan, "So you left me? Killed yourself over some petty fear you're having?"
"I...I am sorry...I did not mean to-" Kratos was interrupted when Sarah said, "I know, I understand." She sighed, "If I were you, I would've done the same..just..just don't stress yourself over it, okay? I mean, if I'm being honest, I was starting to hate you for pulling a stunt like that but..it's okay, I got over it."
"You hated me?" Kratos asked again, feeling guilty.
"'Was. I started to dread the day I met you...it was stupid of me to think that." Sarah finished, "I moved on, forgave you, then...I found you in the outskirts with those...bodies besides you."
"I wanted peace...but the demon king decided to take my soul and make me a slave to do his biddings. He threatened to kill you if I didn't oblige." Kratos explained.
"You want to work for that monster to ensure my safety? Kratos...you don't have to-" Sarah was interrupted, "I have to. If I didn't, you would've died." Kratos finished.
"I can handle myself." Sarah insisted.
"No, you cannot. Your condition right now already disproved your statement." Kratos replied, "You are hurt, you were almost killed trying to fight that demon by your own. I know you can handle yourself when it comes to facing your own kin, but this..this is something else. Demons, gods, beasts, you can't handle those...at least not yet."
Sarah was silent for a few moments, before saying, "...Thanks for the help back there by the way." She lifted up a thumbs up.
Kratos growled, "That was a reckless move you did back there."
"I had to do something." Sarah replied.
"That 'something' should have been running, Sarah, not recklessly trying to fight the demon and get yourself killed." Kratos retorted.
"And let you die? You expect me to act like a coward, don't you?" Sarah asked again, her expression turned ugly.
"No, I expect you to have the instinct to survive." Kratos retorted.
"And I expected that from you too." Sarah answered back. Kratos sighed, "Sarah, you have so much to live for...while I...I...I have too many sins to bear. I am not the man you think I am..."
"Are you saying that you deserved death?!" Sarah asked again, furiously. "...yes." Kratos replied, earning a slap from Sarah.
Kratos rubbed the cheek where he was slapped, "It is the truth."
"It's not! I know it..I just know it...You are a good man, Kratos!" Sarah said again, "You have a bright future."
Kratos said under his breath, doubtfully, "No..I do not think so.." before standing up, "We should be going, Sarah. Your wounds needs to be treated." Kratos spoke.
Sarah nodded, struggling to stand up. Kratos helped her up, putting her arms around his shoulder, "Walk carefully." he suggested.
"As I said before, I can handle myself. I know what to do and what to not do." Sarah replied.
And they walked, till they disappear out of sight. Kratos could use some help from the cherubim right now, but it was nowhere to be seen...
Sarah suddenly said a word, "Hey..."
Kratos looked at her, "What is it, Sarah? You have something to say?"
"I..." She paused, then she smiled, looking at him, "Thanks...for everything."
Kratos paused, staring at her blankly. Then, he smiled, "You are welcome, mistress."
Sarah chuckled a bit, "There's the Kratos I know." Both of them laughed as they walked away. Even though the environment were...not normal, but the moments they had...it was always beautiful, no matter where they are.
They embraced each other as they walked towards the outer layer of Hell.
Kingdom of Heaven..
Zeus was having a hard time fighting the demon king. Lucifer was out of his reach. He was still recovering, as Michael replaced him in battle.
Michael was on his knees, his palm holding into the ground. Lucifer smirked, "Brother, if that is all what you got, then I must say, I am quite disappointed."
He then charged towards the Archangel, preparing to strike him in the chest with the blade...but suddenly, a flash appeared.
Zeus stood in front of the Archangel, tanking the attack from ever hitting Michael. Michael raised his eyebrow, "Y- you? Why? H- how?"
Zeus looked back, holding his wounds, "Go! Let me handle this."
Michael replied with a loud tone, "Not gonna happen!"
"LISTEN TO ME, WILL YOU?! Save your strength for later. Go help your brothers, they still need some medical attention." Zeus finished. Michael growled, "Fine!" before going to his brother's aid.
"The Olympian god decided to put his life in the line for his unknown comrades. Isn't that grand?!" Lucifer taunted, before punching the wounded Olympian across the cheek, as he coughed more blood into the ground.
Zeus tried to hit him back, only for his hand to be caught by the Demon King. Lucifer kicked his crotch, before the Olympian backed up in pain.
"I have a vengeance to accomplish. Should you not provide me more as an entertaining punching bag, I will eradicate you like the pest you are." said Lucifer.
Zeus scoffed, "You remind me a bit of my son...so determined about your so-called revenge." he finished.
Lucifer twitched his eyes, "Stop comparing me..." he then kicked the god right in the face, again, "TO THAT FAILURE."
Zeus recovered himself, using his palms to keep himself intact from the ground. "and...bad temper..."
Lucifer growled, "Stop mouthing off, will you? It will get you killed some day."
Zeus smirked, "Touched a nerve, didn't I?"
Lucifer gritted his teeth, before approaching the Olympian, repeatedly punching him with all his might.
As blood streams out of the god's lips, Zeus chuckled, "All that power, and yet you still can't break my spirit."
Zeus's vision was almost blurred. Lucifer stood in front of him, wielding the gigantic blade in his hand. With a loud voice, he said, "Your spirit is not my aim."
Zeus's eyes were bruised, so he can only see with his one eye. He then launched another thunderbolt against the Morningstar, who tanked it like nothing.
Lucifer grabbed the god by his neck, "Any last words, old man?"
Zeus choked, unable to answer. Lucifer smiled widely, "Understood.."
Without him noticing, suddenly, Zeus's hands were engulfed in lightning. He immediately touched the demon's shoulders, absorbing some of his energy.
Seconds later, Zeus escaped the demon's grip by headbutting him, leaving him stunned.
Zeus looked at his hand, glowing pure yellow, his eyes lit up even more. Lucifer was surprised, "W- what did you just do?"
Instead of replying, Zeus rushed to the astounded Morningstar, before jumping and hitting him in the jaw, bringing him up to the sky with him.
Gripping him in the neck, Zeus threw Lucifer right into the upper warship, as the demon king collided with the ground.
He looked to the sky, only to see that Zeus had disappeared. Lucifer then looked back to see Zeus, ready to strike him.
Zeus gave him a one strike, staggering the demon king. Zeus then continued with another attack, as a clone of his came out to hit Lucifer across the cheek, sending him a few centimetres back.
Lucifer growled, before rushing himself towards the Olympian king, attempting to hit him. However, by the time Lucifer's fist almost made contact with Zeus, he suddenly created a clone, dodging the attack completely as he does it.
Lucifer ended up hitting a clone of Zeus, as it disappears out of sight. Zeus would continue with throwing multiple lightning bolts into the direction of Lucifer, who dodged almost all of it, only to be hit by one.
This time, the bolts were stronger than before. Zeus had absorbed a portion of Lucifer's powers, healing all of his wounds instantly and bringing him back to full strength.
"I should've seen this coming. He can absorb powers, how could I forget about that!" Lucifer said to himself, before continuing, "But none of it matters. I will destroy you soon enough."
Zeus smiled wickedly, before creating several clones to confuse the Demon King. The clones surrounds him, laughing maniacally in unison.
Lucifer growled, hitting one clone, as it disappears. Lucifer hits another clone, but it disappeared yet again. "Show yourself, coward!" Lucifer demanded.
Lucifer was struck by one of the clones, stunning him for a while. He looked back with malicious expression, before beheading the clone's head with his blade.
Lucifer looked to the other side, slicing yet another clone, as it disappears again. Lucifer was beyond frustrated. This god is obviously playing games with him.
Suddenly, the real Zeus rushed at him, smoke coming out of his back. Lucifer looked back, but it was too late. Zeus then grabbed him by the neck, slamming him into the ground.
"Petition to give up?" Zeus smirked, repeating the words Lucifer said to one of the Archangels.
Lucifer removed himself from his grip, as he attempts to impale Zeus in the back. But the attack didn't hit him at all. Zeus dodged it almost instantaneously, it almost looked like he teleported. Appearing behind Lucifer's back momentarily, Zeus gave him another punch with one of his electrified fist.
Lucifer rubbed his back to ease the pain. He looked at the Olympian, "How dare you-" Zeus instantaneously moved in front of him, hitting him square in the face again, causing him to stagger.
Lucifer was beyond enraged. He was being bested by this old, simple god. He then thought, Ah yes...this fool is more experienced than I am. He is a god, after all..Right now, we're even. I will wait until he exhausts himself.
He then swung his blade, which Zeus responded by blocking it with his Golden Fleece. While recovering from the sheer weight of the blade, Lucifer puts his hand around Zeus's chest, as he burns the god with excruciating pain.
Zeus held the pain, before returning the attack to Lucifer, punching him with his electrified fists.
Lucifer let himself hit by it, as he had a plan. Zeus hits him with another, causing him to bleed even more. Lucifer wiped the blood off his cheeks.
Zeus's hits began weaker as time passes by. Lucifer secretly smiled. His strategy is coming along.
As seconds passes by, Zeus began to exhaust himself with all the energy spending. Zeus's wounds returned. The absorption were temporary, but at least he can land a few blow against the demon king. It felt...satisfying.
Lucifer noticed this, and smiled, "Looks like the time is out for you. I must admit...your powers impress me." he then kneed the god in the guts, causing him to cough more blood.
"But none can stand against the power of Yahweh Himself.." Lucifer whispered to his ear, before slamming him to the ground.
Lucifer then puts his hand around Zeus, absorbing some of the remnants of what used to be his.
Lucifer felt some of his strength returning. Feeling satisfied, he unsheathed his blade, ready to kill the god once and for all, "Any last words?"
Zeus then said, "I...I will find a way...to kill you...some day.." he finished. His hatred for the demon was still there. He had a grudge against Lucifer for using him and the rest of the gods like some kind of pawn.
"We both know that will never happen." Lucifer smirked, as he drove the sword through Zeus's heart. The next thing that happens is all the area is covered in Zeus's blood.
Kingdom of Hell, Outer Layer..
Kratos landed on a small platform, as his wings dispersed, his placed Sarah on the ground, "Can you still breathe?"
"Yes...yes, I'm fine, Kratos..it's just..a small wound in my legs." She replied.
"He made you cough a large amount of blood. You are still not well." Kratos said. He then looked around, searching for any sign of resources, but found none.
"Curse it..." Kratos mumbled to himself. He then approached Sarah, "Do you feel hungry? Or rather, thirsty?"
"Both...but it's okay...I can hold it out a little bit longer." Sarah replied.
Kratos then said, "I will try to find some food and water for you.."
"No, no, no, our focus right now is getting out of here." Sarah insisted.
Kratos growled, "You cannot carry on with the state you are in."
"I can. Kratos...how many times do I have to repeat myself? I can handle myself." Sarah spoke again, feeling frustrated, "Hunger is not a problem for me."
"Sarah..." Kratos muttered the name. I will ignore her and search for food. He said in his mind. Kratos and Sarah walked, before several demons came to their way.
"Curse it...stay behind me!" Kratos ordered the woman.
Sarah shook her head, "I can fight too."
Kratos growled, "Sarah!"
Sarah replied with a confused stare, "What?"
"Stay. Behind. My back!" Kratos slowly repeated his words.
"But..." Sarah was interrupted, "Will you listen to me for once?! You cannot handle this. Not yet!" Kratos finished as he unsheathed his blades.
Dozens of demons followed along, surrounding them in the fiery pits.
Sarah sighed, "Fine, fine! Do your thing.." she said in frustration, "I just want to help..and not be useless.."
Kratos gave her a look, "Stop it. You are not useless. No one called you so."
"Just...do your thing. Go get them, Kratos." Sarah encouraged. Kratos prepared himself to fight. The power of Hope is still in his hands, I hope it will be enough... He said in his mind.
As Kratos launched himself towards the demon, the sky were filled with his ear-shattering war cry. As he landed, blood spread everywhere..
