GOD OF WAR: FATES' DECREE

Kratos fell through the blackness, feeling weightless in it's midst. His thoughts turned to where he would end up, whether it be home or another god forsaken land. Suddenly the blackness exploded, giving way to light. Kratos found himself falling through a dense snow, the bitter cold eating at his skin. He kept falling until he hit solid, frozen earth. The shock of his fall left him kneeling in a crater. The snow continued to fall slowly and the cold continued to attack his semi naked body. He stood up and walked out of the crater and looked around. There were headstones, statues and rusted metal gates all over the area.

"Where in Zeus' name am I?"

Suddenly there was a roar from behind him. Kratos turned and saw a large U.S. Army truck coming towards the front of the cemetery. Kratos was alarmed by such a mechanical contraption. It stopped and 5 individuals came out. They were wearing snow parkas, 4 males and 1 female. They all stared at the Spartan. He could tell that the female was saying something to herself, but he could not tell what or why. Then he saw the truck seem to raise, as if it had been weighed down. Coming from behind the truck was from what Kratos could tell a large, red man. At least he thought it was a man. Until he saw the outline of a tail swing by. He saw them mumbling to one another and then they started towards him. Kratos drew his blades and waited for them. The large red man and female left the group and approached. Kratos then looked upon the face of the red man and new at once he was a demon.

His head had great bluish black side burns and goatee. He had what appeared to be filed horns upon his head. His right hand was 3 times the size of the left and made of solid stone. He wore a coat and had a large revolver on his hip. His tail was flopped back and forth.

"And what do we have here," he said in a cool voice.

Kratos eyed him and held his blades at length.

"I am Kratos, God of War, and the destroyer of Olympus. Who are you and where am I?"

The red man laughed.

"This guy has totally lost it," he said to the girl.

"Oh Red, leave him be," she said, then looking at Kratos, "I'm Liz. This is Hellboy. Your in Russia, towards the farthest north part. We're here on assignment to find and stop Gregori Rasputin. What are you doing here?"

Kratos continued eying them but slowly placed his blades on his back.

"I have somehow been thrown out of my time and thrust into others far different and advanced than my own. I am trying to find my way home."

Hellboy gave him a funny look and then pulled Liz to the side.

"Hey Liz, I think maybe he's hit his head a little too hard there. Maybe we should just ignore him and continue on."

Liz gawked at him.

"C'mon Red. You know what we deal with daily. You know he's probably telling the truth. Besides, as built as he is, he might be able to help us out. We could always use another hand at this."

Hellboy grumbled and then nodded. Liz turned to Kratos.

"Kratos, we'll do what we can to aid you in your search. Before we can though, we must finish our task. Can you help us?"

Kratos frowned once more and cracked his knuckles.

"It would seem what choice do I really have. I'll aid you in your quest, so long as you aid me in mine."

Liz smiled.

"But know this. Should you betray me, I will kill you all," Kratos said sternly.

Hellboy and Liz both frowned.

"Well," Hellboy said, "He's quite the happy guy ain't he."
