//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: ... What the Hay... // Story: GOD OF WAR- FINAL JOURNEY // by ldh4001 //------------------------------// THUMB!!! A giant god who have spike all over on his back land over the underworld. He couldn’t believe Kratos escape from his domain. His flame in his dark helmet was became much more furious when he stepped toward river Styx. "Where is he..." Hades searched underworld whole time, but he didn't get any trace of ghost of Sparta. Now he had to searched last domain he did not searched- River Styx. But still, he didn’t found out anything. He could not hold his temple, he swung his chain claws and began destroying everything in his sight with his dark, rich and full roar. “GAHHHHHHH!!!!” There is reason why Kratos incur Hades anger. First, He killed his wife. Persephone hated him, but Hades was loved her. Kratos also killed one of his most able right arm Tanatos, Zeus killed Kratos in first time, Kratos denied his death and escaped from hell. Now, that mortal escape from underworld- Again?! Now one mortal had completely destroyed his pride of god... and moreover, he also destroyed that really important to him. "Where ever you are, Mortal... I will find you... and I will rip out your soul..." Hades gripped his chain claw tightly. As planned, he supposed to torture him very slowly and painfully in his kingdom. But now it’s over. Kratos shall never die in peace. While Hades was thinking about how to torture Kratos most painfully, the bright light that leaded Kratos in to Equestria appeared in the river again. "Huh...?" Hades noticed strange light in the river. It was defiantly not the light of the dead. It was too bright, and colorful. Could it be the one which took Kratos away from the underworld...? He thought. Hades slowly walked in to the river, and stared the light. Hades waved his hand, all spirits inside the river began ran away from the Hades. Now, he was able to saw the source of the light. Soon he realized what it was... "A Portal...? Strange......" It was not the portal Hades and other god seen before. It was not the portal of Olympus. Their portal are form with blue light, and this one is colorful. Perhaps this one are not from this 'world?’ He tried to touch the Portal, but with the loud spark, his hand flick away from the portal. “Looks like I can’t enter this one… but maybe I can absorb it for temperedly…” Hades slowly raise one of his hand in to the portal, and began absorbed the light it self. Soon, the colorful bright light slowly turned in to sick black smoke, and faded away. "Perhaps she maybe hold the answer about this…” as he finish his sentence, he throw his claws in to the middle of air and jumped, headed in to his castle. Meanwhile in Equestria- "What trickery is this?!" Kratos looked around the place. Last thing he remember was that he entered the river Styx, but is this place are underworld? There have many colorful small horses, he didn’t even found out one single souls around the world. Sky was dark, but not gloomy dark as hell. He saw moonlight, which mean he was not in the Hell. And judging by the buildings and structures around his area, he was sure he was not in the hell. Or maybe he think it is not hell… "A talking horse? Is this is illusion?!" Too many colorful small horses around him, and they are stared and him. Judging by their shape, they were normal horses, unicorns and Pegasus… Pegasus? What is this PLACE? IS this is some kind RANCH OF HELIOS? And by the name of god, why are they wearing cloth?! Kratos couldn’t adapted to the situation he was in to. When he heard those horses suddenly speak Greek, it made him much more confuse. He thought everything are the illusion that Hades made, for mocking him. But he stopped thinking when one of the largest white horse with horn and wing spoke to him. "Please, I do not know who you are, but please clam down, you only make my citizens panics." "And what do you think you are?!" he couldn’t hold anger about the situation, almost shout to Celestia, almost made royal guards assumed the defensive as Kratos shout. "I am princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria." "Equestria...? Never heard about it..." "Excuse me, but what are you exactly?" Twilight sparkle asked him. She know this ‘thing’ maybe dangerous, but more than fear, her curiosity were covered her head. "None of Your Concern, small horse. Now go away before you touch my temple." Twilight start back suddenly when he stare him angrily. She almost cried when she saw Kratos pale white face and his crimson red mark on his face, and his eyes… she only could see the sick colors of his emotionless pupils. She had fight against night mare moon, Discord and Queen Chrysalis, but this man… she never faced the creatures more scary than nightmare moon before. She froze at front of him. What a tiresome creatures, Kratos slowly raised his leg, trying to kick her, just like he always did to his enemies who blocked his path. But before Kratos kick twilight away, Shining Armor dashed toward Kratos, headbutting the mighty warrior and made him stepped back away from Twilight. Shining Armor Stopped his front hooves at front of Kratos. “You shall not hurt her, you freaks!” "You dare trying to fight me?!" Now Kratos lost his temple. He stretched his left hand immediately, and grab his enemy. He acted so fast, Shining Armor tried to struggle, but more he tried, he felt more pain. Kratos strangled the neck of Shining Armor, and used his other hand grabbed his chain sword. He didn't cared what kind of this creatures are, but no one will survive in his path. Nobody shall stop his vengeance. “I’m not in Hell, but I will lead you to your Hell!” "Stop! Please, just stop!" Twilight cried. But instead release him, Kratos raised his blade. He swung his blade, but instead of sound of the cut, his blade bumped with some kind of invisible shield. Twilight turned her back, saw Cadence using her magic created a shield for Shining. "Wha...?" He tried again, but nothing happened. How could this happen? His blade are strong enough to destroy simple magic force! He looked his blade, realized his blade had lost all of the power when it drawn in the river Styx. His blade were lost his power, so he decided to rip Shining Armor in to two pieces. But Celestia know what he was tried to do. She aimed her horn toward chest of Kratos and shot a strong magic blast. With it, Kratos felt pain and released his enemy. He stared Celestia with his furious eye, slowly get up, and raised his blade and pointed to her. "Yet I lost all of my power..." "YOU SHALL NEVER STOP ME!!!" With his war roar, he ran toward Celestia, and began swing his blades. "AND ANYONE WHO TRYING TO STOP ME- SHALL ALL DIE!!!" Kratos jumped, raising his blade and swinging toward Celestia. But something unexpected had happened. “GAAHHHHHHHHH-” *BANG* “AAAHHHHhhhh……” THUD! Before Celestia prepare for incoming, Kratos just fell down to the ground. When she curious about the situation, she relized what just happened. Luna just shot him with her magic. “HA! Always effect on Careless one!” “Uhmmm… Luna…? What did you just do?” Celestia asked her sister with worrided tone. Did she just killed him? he might be the danger one, but she didn’t wish to kill. “Do Not Worry, Celly, I Only Used Simple Spell. He is fall asleep now.” “…………” Every pony just stared Luna quietly, don’t know what to say. “Uhmmm… Celly? Thu I Spoiled Anything?” Luna giggled at her. “What the hay, I expected the awesome fight between Princess and Creature!” Dash complained what Luna just did. She expected Celestia defeat the monster just the Daring Do. Then, Pinkie shown up. “Sorry Dahie, But author don’t want to let Celestia and Luna hurt! Also he is bite lazy, don’t want to wright more on this chapter!!” Oh shut up Pinkie. “What?!” Rainbow Dash tried to refute Pinkie’s answer, but she stopped. After are, Pinkie is just Pinkie. “Pinkie Pie, You are So Random.”
