A/N Another thrilling installment of the finale of the God of War:Fates' Decree series. Let's see who will stand triumphant in this battle!!!!

GOD OF WAR:FATES' DECREE

Kratos gripped both sides of the creature's mouth as it tried to close it upon the Spartan. Xemnas watched from afar, a gleaming smile upon his face. Kratos used every bit of strength to keep the beast's jaws from closing around him.

"I will not be killed by this wretched creature," Kratos shouted.

Kratos then let go of the creature and it's mouth closed on him. Xemnas gave a shout of victory, thinking his adversary top be dead. Then, in a quick flash, the top half of the creature's head came flying off, blood pouring from the wound and Kratos stood there, retracting his blades. He snarled and lept off the collapsing monster's head towards the building again. Sheathing his swords, Kratos outstretched his arms like in a dive and rocketed through the side of the building, catching Xemnas and taking both of them through another wall. Kratos picked him up and began to punch him in the face. Xemnas retaliated by grabbing the arm and countering with a left hand to Kratos' face. Kratos head butt Xemnas and through him out the building window. Xemnas caught himself midair and turned to it. He held out both hands. A flash of red light and then there were numerous red balls of energy surrounding the entire top of the building.

"Fire," he shouted.

The balls attacked the building, colliding with it and causing it to explode in a great burst of red. Fragments flew everywhere and Xemnas laughed triumphantly. Then from the fire, Kratos jumped out, swords swinging around in the air wildly. Xemnas face went placid as Kratos brought both the chained weapons down, colliding both blades with Xemnas body. As the hit, his body split into two. Kratos retracted the weapons and began to free fall to the city below. The two Xemnas each held out hands and the red energy balls began flying at Kratos. He blocked them with his swords as he fell, straining with every block. The two Xemnas' then reformed into one and he smiled. Kratos turned and found himself crashing face first into a police cruiser, obliterating it and making a hole in the street. Xemnas floated down to the street and admired the hole Kratos made.

"Well Kratos. Looks like you've made your own grave."

His smile quickly faded as Kratos crawled out of the hole, his face bloodied, his body covered in cuts. He stood, his swords drawn.

"It isn't over yet Xemnas," he muttered, spitting a glop of blood out, "It isn't over by a long shot."

Xemnas grit his teeth, blue electricity emitting from his hands. He attacked open handed and Kratos blocked with his swords. As they tried to overpower one another, a large plane flew overhead and dropped a large bomb from it. It collided with what was left of the monster and a large nuclear explosion erupted from the bomb site. They both turned and saw the blast radius approaching them. They're charged energies and the blast collided and an implosion occured. A black hole opened up in between the two combatants. They were immediately sucked in, lightning flaring up from it. Suction followed, even after the two were within it. The lightning shot out and hit the other surrounding buildings, even as parts were being sucked in. Kratos and Xemnas floated within the turbulent confines of the void, still attempting to overpower each other.

"Chronos' Rage," Kratos shouted.

Three large blue energy balls formed around them. The balls then shot lightning at the two, blasting and separating them. Kratos and Xemnas righted themselves within the void and floated amidst the vacuum. They both fought the current.

"Damn you Kratos! Do you see what is happening," Xemnas roared above the loud suction.

"I don't care what's going on! I will defeat you," he yelled back.

"The barrier between times has been ruptured! The entire universe and all time itself is going to fall to destruction! We'll both be obliterated!"

"Then I guess I'll just have to slaughter you before that happens," Kratos called back.

Xemnas formed the energy rods and let himself be drawn towards Kratos' floating body. Kratos Attacked with both swords, striking the rods and the two engaged in a final battle. Xemnas kept striking, but Kratos blocked each blow. As Kratos threw his sword forward, Xemnas split into two and the copies then attacked. Kratos fought even harder, blocking each and every attack. Kratos did a back flip, evading both attackers. Then he flung one blade into one of the Xemnas'. The blade ran through him and he gagged.

"Get over here," Kratos called as he pulled the double over.

The double right in front of him, Kratos brought the other blade back and launched forward. Xemnas' rods disappeared and he grabbed Kratos' arm. Kratos head butted him, released his arm and pulled the other blade from his adversary's body. He then brought both blades across his enemy's chest a few times. then with a roar, he rammed one blade through Xemnas' neck and another through his groin area. Then he pushed him away with both legs, while pulling his chains in opposite directions. The Xemnas double screamed as his body was ripped in half, shortly disappearing after it did. The other Xemnas snarled and shot forward as Kratos reeled his swords in. Xemnas grabbed onto Kratos' back and wrapped both of his arms underneath Kratos'. His hands formed electricity and he shot through Kratos' skull. Kratos let out an inhuman scream as the outside area began to form a raging lightning storm. Each bolt from the storm shot out and destroyed a fabric of time. Xemnas laughed maniacally as he continued to stream the current through Kratos' head. Kratos struggled from Xemnas' grip and finally undid his arms from the hold. He flipped forward breaking away from Xemnas, his feet colliding with Xemnas' jaw, sending him backwards. Xemnas began to draw energy towards himself. Kratos saw what he was doing and grit his teeth.

I can do this, Kratos thought to himself.

Xemnas' teeth clenched together as he continued drawing energy to himself. A large surge of blue energy erupted from his body. His hair began to flail wildly, his robe shaking and flowing with his power. The lightning storm around them also became more intense, it's blasts shattering more and more times as Xemnas continue to generate and absorb power. Finally he stopped and held his hands out.

"Embrace nothingness Kratos!!"

Large bolts of lightning and blue energy shot forward at Kratos. Kratos swirled one of his chained blades around in a circle, catching the attack and blocking it. But Kratos could feel the power slipping by his block and affecting him. He had to act fast or else be obliterated from existence. He was slowly being pushed back to the outer energy storm. As he tried to fight back the attack, his thoughts began to well up within him. His memory went back in time, to when he and his family were still together. He could see his daughter's face, feel his wife's loving arms around him, and he felt comfortable. All that was gone now, because of his quest for power and devotion to Ares. No. He killed the God of War, made Zeus beg for mercy, and now he would not let it end this way. It was time to rectify his past wrongs for good. He let some slack develop in his free hand and spun the blade around. Then he launched it into the energy storm raging around them. Immediately, ungodly powerful energy filled Kratos' body, making his body swell and burn. He began to scream, but grit his teeth to stop. Xemnas' eyes went wide.

"What are you doing," Xemnas yelled in disbelief.

Kratos turned to look at him, the energy still filling his body. Blood began to flow from his lips, nose, eyes, and ears.

"I'm going to kill you, that's what," Kratos called as the energy filled his body to max capacity.

He spewed blood from his mouth as he brought his chained sword from the storm and threw it at Xemnas. He let his defense go and Xemnas' power engulfed Kratos' body. Kratos' body flew back into the storm and was engulfed by that energy. His body began to bubble and burn as the fury of both the storm and Xemnas' attack charged his sword and destroyed the chain holding it. The blade continued flying freely. Xemnas' eyes went even wider as the blade plunged deep into his body, blood shooting from the wound. Xemnas' body flew backwards. Kratos smiled and laughed as he body finished filling with energy and promptly exploded in a large explosion, blue energy and blood filling the former space. Xemnas kept going backwards.

"Nooooooooo," Xemnas called as he entered the energy storm, his power overflowing from the energy charge and he also exploded in a blast of blue energy and blood.

The entire void shook with power and the energy storm erupted a pillar of lightning from it's core. A large blast erupted from that and shot forth in all directions.

A/N Wow!! What a spectacular battle! But it's not over yet. There is still one more part to go! What will happen next? tune in for the conclusion of God of War:Fates' Decree!
