The young hero wiped his brow as he smiled up at his companion. "We've done it," he said in relief. "We've saved the kingdom."
"Indeed we have," his companion said from within the armor she was possessing.
"We've defeated the demon that stole your body," he said, "and recovered your body."
"Victory!" his companion replied happily, thrusting the massive sword this floating spirit armor had come with, clashing it against the matching massive shield.
"So now you can depossess that armor and go back into your own body," he finished hopefully.
His companion was quite for a time. "Leave this armor?"
"Yes."
"...the one that I was able to take with me out of dungeons?"
"Yes."
"The one that, as far as the forces arrayed against us could tell, is nigh indestructible?"
"Mmm-hmm."
"The one that gleams gold and reflects force and devastated everything we came up against?"
"That's the one."
"The one that floats, can explore any terrain, and strikes fear into the hearts of ally and enemy alike?"
"What other would I be talking about?"
"The one I'm currently possessing?"
"Yeah..."
His companion was silent for a time. "...do I have to?"
The young train conductor face palmed. "Zelda..."
Im loving this
Oh, that was excellent
MY KIND OF PRINCESS! Right up there with Murder Princess.
Well, things look like they are wrapping up for this part of the split stories. Kratos' quest is completed, he's purged of the remaining taint, and now he has both his original daughter and his adopted one!
Now all he has to do, once Pinkie's friends come for her, is follow her back to Equestria with Calliope before certain gods get it in their heads that he's too dangerous to keep around and start trying to get him dead again.
Granted, I'm sure between the allies the Ghost of Sparta managed to make, his family will come out ahead some how.
Hades *busts down the door to Kratos' home* : "Quick, Ghost of Sparta! grab your daughters and your weapons and come with me! We have not got much time!"
Kratos *gathers his family and his gear*: "What is going on?"
Hades: "Oh, a bunch of the other gods started getting nervous about you and your family again. Helios caught wind and sent me to get you away from your home while he arranged for transportation to your adopted daughters world of origin. And Pinkie, I cannot begin to thank you enough - Persephone is delighted with the results of the advice you gave me. We even visit her friends and family frequently, or have them over as guests on occasion. For this boon, I grant your family a boon to carry into the new world - when you arrive, Calliope will be able to remove her armor and assume a physical form once again, depending on who aids her with this task. If it is Kratos, it will be her original form, and if it is you it will be as if she would have been had she been born as a pony of your kind."
Pinkie: "Will she be able to change back and forth?"
Hades *thinks for a moment*: "Eh, why not. I'll even adjust the enchantments during the trip so she will not require aid to remove the armor. Speaking of which, Helios is here, which means we best be on our way. Kratos, Pinkie, I'm willing to grant another boon or two, but you will have to think on what you want before we drop you off, for we are not likely to meet again for a long time afterwards."
Pinkie: "Okie dokie loki!"
Hades: "Wrong pantheon..."
I freaking love Spirt Tracks Zelda.
5693877 yes that was a good summary or chapter

The exact joke line:
Pinkie's personality was based off a gen 1 Pegasus named Surprise.
SHINY!
5695274 ,5694419
Ah. That comes up so rarely, I often forget it's a thing. I'm sure that's the case for the others who know, too.
Wait....ZELDA?!
Is this foreshadowing...
5694419
Yes, it was.
5694419 I knew the joke but its just not funny to me...Sorry but points for referencing it
5735260 No. It was a joke.
5892025 DUDE! *waves*
5696188 You too! *waves*
Kekekekeke, Zelda, silly person.
hehee.
Nice.

Oh yes, I really want Pinkie to have a long chat with Loki when the big crossover comes around. And not just because he's a mother to an Equine.
...oh snap. I just realized. Rainbow Dash and Chrysalis are both in the same Universe. Unless they are not. I'll need to read both of those respective fics before I can be sure on the matter.
So (Down B) is Zelda summoning Zelda. I thought it was Zelda summoning the doomed soul of Majora's Mask Link that possessed armor in Twilight Princess- Hold on. Those armors look different...
I listened to this while reading this chapter.
6585471 speaking of wrong pantheon...New game means kratos may still have to deal with the Aesir later on...
So.... what armor did Zelda even get if Kratos' daughter got the armor from Spirit Train?
8453397
The armor Pinkie ripped off the spirit earlier, fused with armor from the underworld that's nigh-indestructible.
Add admittedly I would feel the same.
You can still wear it.
