The next day we find our group of young watcher at the ballroom yet again, but this time yet again they are accompanied by the two rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were able to make time out of their busy schedules to watch a few more episodes of Death Battle with their young friends.

“Thanks for the intro Mr. narrator,” whispered Pinkie Pie.

No problem.

“I’m glad you two could join us again,”Twilight said with a smile. Happy to be able to spend time with her mentor again.

“Me and my sister will always make time for our friends,” Celestia said as she gave her former apprentice a quick nuzzle. One that Twilight was more then happy to return.

“Agreed! We also appreciate that you're willing to share the gifts that you all got from the magic box,” added in Luna as she waved around her new street fighter comics. Even Celestia quickly put away her poster of haggar while sporting a small blush.

“Well let’s start the next batch of episodes!” said Twilight, getting some cheers of agreement from her friends.

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: Of all the warriors who have entered this arena, none can compete with these two titans of death. Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta who single-handedly annihilated Olympus…

“This Kratos sounds like a powerful warrior,” Luna said, thinking of the few battles from a thousand years ago. Celestia had a slight flashback to her fight with Knightmare Moon but shook her head to rid her of those thoughts.

Boomstick: ...and Spawn, who managed to dethrone both Satan and God.

“He must have be powerful to defeat a god,” Rarity said, trying to imagine someone with that kind of power.

Wiz: I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Kratos
(*Cues: God Of War III - Brothers Of Blood *)

Wiz: Kratos is a demigod, raised among the Spartans as their greatest warrior, until one day, his people were threatened to be overrun. It was then he stuck a deal with Ares, the God of War. Ares would give him the strength to protect his people; in return, Kratos would serve as Ares' champion warrior.

“I’m not sure how I feel about this?”

Background
Over 6' Tall

Self-Centered Anti-Hero
Superhuman Strength, Speed, & Endurance

Boomstick: Kratos became super-powerful and really vicious, but was tricked by Ares into killing his own family. But hey, he saved some money on child support and divorce!

“Not. Funny,” Everyone growled out, even the princesses thought the joke was very poor in taste.

Wiz: As the white, hot ashes of his family clung permanently to his skin-

Boomstick: Just like Michael Jackson!

Wiz: -his quest for vengeance against the gods of Olympus began. As a demigod, Kratos possesses great strength, speed, and endurance. He can survive a pummeling from a Titan and best the power of Hercules.

“He went up against that?” Rainbow yelled, surprised at seeing Kratos fighting the giant titan.

“You’d have to be crazy to try that, Rainbow,” Applejack said, not liking how easily the so called ghost defeats his enemies with ease.

Boomstick: Kratos wields the Blades of Exile, twin short swords bound to his arms by chains. The blades have a hook design that Kratos can use to cut right through his enemies, or snag them and whip 'em around.

Blades of Exile
Dual Short Swords
Wielded with Chains Seared to Arms
Hooked Design
Made from the Remains of the Blades of Athena

(*Cues: Kratos' Theme - God of War*)

Boomstick: And like most badass weapons, they can somehow emit fire.

“I would so want those,” Spike said, awed by the design and the fire. He imagined himself using those swords the beat some diamond dogs and saving Rarity from them.

“Even if it meant having them bound to your arms?” Celestia asked in her motherly tone, causing Spike to think about it before shaking his head.

“Naw! I’ll settle with my own fire,” replied spike.

Wiz: Kratos is well trained in sword combat and possesses what may be the most powerful sword the Greek gods have to offer - the Blade of Olympus.

Everyone could only marvel at the beautifully made blade.

Boomstick: After Kratos killed Ares, Uhhh, spoiler!, he was made the God of War. But Zeus tricked him into putting all his godly powers into this sword, making him mortal once again.

“At least he got his revenge,” Twilight said, feeling a little conflicted on whether or not it’s a good thing or not that was a good thing.

“Look at it this way Twi, he’s not under Ares’s control anymore,” Rainbow said, making Twilight agree with it.

Wiz: And making the Blade of Olympus a deadly harbinger of death to even the toughest Olympians. His most versatile defense is his Golden Fleece, armor capable of blocking powerful blows and deflecting magical attacks.

Blade of Olympus
Can Kill Gods & Titans
Contains God Powers
Fires Blue Energy Waves
About 5 Feet Long

“A weapon that can even kill these greek gods? That wasn’t a smart thing to do,” Rarity said, not understanding why they would try to do that. Kratos was able to kill a god, it wasn’t like he couldn’t do it again.

Golden Fleece
Gold Armlet
Blocks Attacks
Deflects Projectiles & Magical Attacks
Strong Enough to Counter the Blade of Olympus

“That would have helped during the changeling invasion,” Celestia said, wishing she could have reflected that one blast back at Queen Chrysalis.

Boomstick: But there's a whole lot more to this guy's arsenal, like the Bow of Apollo, which can shoot a rapid stream of arrows or charge up deadly fire arrows.

“Almost sounds like a bow starswirl tried to make one time,” commented Celestia.

“Really!? How did that turn out?” asked Twilight. Interested on how a project from her hero worked out.

“The results were… explosive,” muttered out celestia.

“What in Tartarus name happened Starswirl!?” Screamed Celestia. While pointed towards the now burning castle. As her servants and sister trying tried their best to put out the flames.

“I can fix this! I can fix this!” yelled Starswirl in fright.

Bow of Apollo
Can Rapid-Fire Arrows
Charged Fire Arrows
Does Not Drain Kratos' Magic Limit
Quick with a Long Range

Wiz: Then there's the Claws of Hades, which mercilessly rip the souls out of their victims, though tough opponents like Kratos can resist them.

Claws of Hades
Used like Blades of Exile
Spiked Chains & Hooks
Rips Souls from Victims
Can be Resisted
Can Summon Souls

“That’s a pretty scary weapon,” Fluttershy stuttered, feeling scared of a weapon that can rip a soul from the body.

“Scary isn’t the word I’d use,” Twilight said, wondering who would make such a evil weapon.

“It seems like something that Sombra would have used,” Celestia muttered just loud enough for her sister to hear. Luna silently nodded as Sombra would use this weapon without hesitation.

Boomstick: The Nemean Cestus are giant ultra-strong gauntlets which can stun foes with brutal shockwaves.

Nemean Cestus
Giant Metal Gauntlets
Lion-Like Appearance
Originally Owned by Hercules
Incredibly Strong
Can Create Shockwaves which Stun Foes

“Wonder if those could help he harvest more apples?” Applejack asked, thinking the shockwaves they make could hit a couple of trees at once.

Wiz: The Boots of Hermes give him superhuman speed, and when battling the infamous Icarus, he ripped those huge wings off the old fool's back and took them for his own, giving him powers of flight.

“He ripped the wings off the guy? That’s brutal,” Rainbow said, hugging herself with her wings.

Fluttershy could only whimper in response.

Boots of Hermes
Greaves with Small Wings
Improved Running Speed
Can Run Up Walls

Icarus Wings
Can Glide & Fly
Huge 18' Wingspan

Ripped From Icarus' Back

Boomstick: Holy crap, that's a lot of weapons! I like this guy!

“He’s the very definition of overkill,” Snarked Rarity.

Wiz: Kratos is not invincible, but he is very difficult to kill.

Boomstick: Hell, he can't even kill himself!

The group winced at the image of Kratos stabbing himself with the Blade of Olympus.

Wiz: In his rage, he tore apart the ranks of Mount Olympus and slaughtered every god upon and below it... except for Aphrodite.

Boomstick: For obvious reasons!

“Sigh… dammit Boomstick,” muttered Rarity in frustration.

Wiz: In doing so, he ultimately brought about the end of the world. Without the power of the gods to keep the chaos in check, the apocalypse had arrived, and its vanguard was Kratos.

Ares: I was trying to make you a great warrior.

Kratos: You succeeded.

Kratos impales Ares with the with his sword.

Spawn
(*Cues: Spawn in the Demon's Hand - Opening Sequence (Arcade Version)*)

Wiz: Al Simmons was trained to be a deadly, stealthy soldier and assassin, and proved numerous times he was the best of the best. But when his morality got the better of him, his boss terminated his contract... permanently.

Background
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 450 lbs.
Skilled Assassin
Superhuman Strength, Speed, & Durability
Composed of Necroplasm
Regeneration Healing

“My word. That’s horrible,” Rarity cried out, thinking of how horrible it must be to die and look like that.

Boomstick: That's when Simmons met Malebolgia, one of the Demon Lords of Hell, who struck a deal with him: He'd get to see his wife again if he became captain of Hell's armies. He agreed and was reborn as a Hellspawn. But as with most Demons, it tricked him, leaving Spawn with a fate worse than death. And of course, Spawn swore revenge!

“Poor thing,” cried out Fluttershy.

(*Cues: Spawn The Eternal - Track 6*)

Wiz: Being a Hellspawn, he has superhuman strength and speed. He is nearly invulnerable and can use his own powers to heal and regenerate.

Boomstick: In addition, Spawn can feed off the evil auras of others for the same effect. It really saves him on Band-Aids!

Wiz: He wears a living parasitic-symbiotic suit named Leetha of the 7th House of K.

Leetha of the 7th House of K
Symbiotic Suit
Limited by Imagination
Can Create Chains, Spikes, Claws, Shrouds, etc.
Has a Mind of its own
Feeds off Necroplasm or Natural Evil Energies

Boomstick: Leetha has ridiculous powers. Basically, anything she or Spawn wants to happen can happen. The suit can create and control chains, claws, spikes, and morph itself into pretty much anything Spawn wants, like a badass cape that can drag enemies and protect Spawn from all sorts of danger.

“Wow, that suit sounds useful,” Pinkie said, wondering if the suit comes in pink.

“I’m not sure if that suit is evil or not,” Twilight muttered to herself.

Wiz: The suit has a mind of its own, and can operate while Spawn focuses on other parts of the battle. It is strong enough to easily smash through brick, and fast enough to block bullets. However, Leetha feeds off necroplasm energy when using the suit's powers, a hellish matter which Spawn is entirely composed of. If Leetha uses too much, Spawn will be sent back to Hell. However, like Spawn, Leetha can also feed off the evil and sin of others.

“Well, that’s good?” Fluttershy said, thinking that it helps Spawn fight monsters.

Boomstick: Spawn's also got tons of magic powers. He can teleport, transform, blow things up, turn invisible, alter matter, talk to animals, fly with his cape, read minds, and open portals to Heaven and Hell. Ho-oly crap!

Magic
Can alter matter
Communicate with animals
Flight & Teleportation
Necroplasm Projection
Healing the sick & even resurrecting the dead
Elemental Control

“H-He can do all that?” Twilight stuttered, knowing she has a hard time using more than half the stuff on the list.

“So we found a guy better than you in magic?” Spike asked, smiling at his friend/sister/mother.

“Now spike, no teasing.” Celestia chasted.

Wiz: And he can control the elements, often using fire and water to defeat swarms of enemies. However, even with all these godlike abilities, Spawn usually resorts to his most primitive weapon. As he was trained in Special Forces for so long, Spawn is most comfortable using a gun. He is an expert in the use of nearly any firearm imaginable.

Expert Marksman
Weapon of Choice
Least Effective Weapons
Skilled with all types

“At least he doesn’t solely rely on his magic alone,” Rarity said, knowing many do learn anything outside their craft.

“Tis a lesson many can learn from,” Luna said in agreement.

Boomstick: Only two things can break through Spawn's defenses and hurt him: Necro-magic and holy weapons forged in Heaven. In addition, he can only die if he's beheaded.

“Decapitation!!!” sang out Pinkie Pie in a bloody scream, that would make a certain roady proud.

Specific Weaknesses
Magic Necroplasm
Holy Weapons forged in Heaven
His Dwindling amount of Necroplasm
Can only die through Beheading

“Those are quite specific weaknesses he has,” Applejack said, wondering if Kratos can even stand a chance to Spawn.

Wiz: Spawn killed all sorts of powerful enemies - assassins, cyborgs, vampires, ghosts, Angels, Demons, other Hellspawn, rampaging deities, even Satan and God. Yes, that old lady is the God.

Boomstick: Really? God looks like my nanna... Am I a demigod?

“Harmony I hope not,” begged Rarity, feeling sorry for whatever fools worship him.

Wiz: And after being granted unlimited power from the Mother of all things, Spawn banished God and Satan from the Earth, which he wiped clean and rebuilt in his own image. He then willingly sacrificed his own God powers and eventually returned to his Hellspawn form.

Boomstick: Ah, why the hell would he do that! He must've been really bored!

“There are more things than power boomstick,” lectured Twilight.

Spawn blows up a wall.

Spawn: Knock, knock!

“Who’s there?” giggled Pinkie Pie.

Wiz: Alright the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: But first, let's take your commerical break from Jackthreads. Over you, Boomstick!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the ads started to everyone decided to be neutral on this one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle

Death Battle
(*Cues: God Of War II - Colossus of Rhodes*)

In an ancient underground palace lit by torchlight, Kratos marches up a staircase before turning around to see Spawn appear in a flash of green flame behind him, whipping out his Blades of Exile.

“Here we go,” muttered Twilight.

FIGHT!

(*Cues: God Of War III - Poseidon's Wrath*)

Spawn doesn't move a muscle as Leetha summons several chains to attack Kratos, which he blocks and slices through for a few moments. Eventually, Spawn pulls a large gun and starts shooting Kratos, who defends himself by crossing the Blades in front of him. He quickly swipes a Blade to disarm Spawn, but misses his next swing as Spawn teleports behind him, landing a blow before getting stabbed by a Blade. He is dragged forward only to be kicked back by Kratos.

“Already getting bloody,” commented Celestia.

Spawn lands at the foot of the stairs and barely dodges a leaping attack by Kratos. He follows Spawn into the next room, but doesn't see his opponent.

(*Cues: Spawn in the Demon's Hand - Smelter (Admonisher Stage)*)

Spawn lowers his invisibility and leaps from the wall he was hanging on the kick at Kratos. Spawn's punches send Kratos airborne, then uses his teleportation and speed to deliver more blows to get Kratos flying.

“Whooo” cheered Rainbow Dash.

Flying quickly, Spawn sees Kratos at the foot of another staircase, and hurls a ball of energy at Kratos, which he sends back at Spawn. Kratos hooks Spawn and brings him down the stairs, then uses his Nemean Cestus to knock Spawn into the next room.

“This is getting brutal,” muttered Applejack.

The blow's force pushes Spawn to the edge of a gap between two sections, which he floats over as Kratos reaches him, laughing and shooting more energy blasts at Kratos. He deflects them away with the Golden Fleece before summoning the Icarus Wings and tackling Spawn to the other side. While Kratos hangs on the ledge, Spawn leaps up and prepares to deliver a blow with the line "You're pissing me off" just as Kratos grabs him with the Blades and they both fall into the pit.

(*Cues: God Of War - Minotaur Boss Battle*)

The two land safely at the bottom, Kratos pulling out the Bow of Apollo and shooting arrows at Spawn behind the defense of his cape, finally charging up the next arrow. Spawn uses his elemental control to make the flame engulf Kratos, then launches a necroplasm grenade in the fire, exploding in bursts of smoke.

“Such power,” gasped out Luna.

(*Cues: God Of War III - Overture*)

Kratos, however, jumps from the blaze with the Blade of Olympus in hand, nearly striking the teleporting Spawn, then easily cutting through Leetha's chains and stabbing Spawn through the chest. He remains still for a moment before teleporting off the Blade, behind Kratos, and holding him in the air by his head, draining his evil energy in a flash of green.

“That doesn't look good,” whimpered out Fluttershy.

Spawn: DIE!

Spawn then creates a large spike in his hand through Kratos' head, killing the Ghost of Sparta.

Everyone winced at the brutal display and Spike had to rush to one of the bathrooms.

K.O.!

Results
(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Boomstick: Aaahhhh, man - here's comes the rage from the God of War fanboys!

“(shiver.) Fanboys…” shuddered Rainbow Dash. She saw the horror that was know as fanboys while at a Wonderbolts race and a Daring Doo convention. At least she had a good friend that one time who wasn’t that bad.

Wiz: Kratos is a very difficult one to beat, but Spawn's magical prowess and near-indestructible body proved too much for him.

Boomstick: Yeah, normally, that last attack would've meant the end for his opponent, but not Spawn!

“Only decapitation can truly kill spawn,” added in Luna.

Wiz: And while much of Kratos' arsenal was forged by Olympians, Olympus is composed of Earthly elements, and is not another plane of existence like Heaven, so it stands to reason none of the Olympian weapons would kill Spawn.

Boomstick: Except the Blade of Olympus, but it wasn't enough.

“So Kratos was doomed from the start,” muttered Applejack.

Wiz: Plus, Spawn and his suit had plenty of evil energy to feed on during the fight, since Kratos is literally covered in his past sins.

“With such large source of sin there was no way spawn could lose,” Twilight realised.

Boomstick: Well, that was one Hell of a fight!

“Well it seems boomstick joke didn’t get better from the last time we were here,” drawled out Luna.

Wiz: The winner is Spawn.

END.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

Slayer of Dragons

This caught the groups attention, especially a young drakes, who gulped nervously

Explosion Extraordinaire

This one caught Pinkie’s attention, if her jumping up and down with a huge grin was any indication.

The group wondered who this two fighters where and what beings of such titles would look like.

They are… two funny looking characters that you would never guess where a slayer of dragons or a bomb expert .

everyone had their jaws dropped, not in awe, but shock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well that truly was an intense battle,” commented Celestia. Wiping her brow from the instance showdown she just witness.

“I have to agree with you there sister.” agreed Luna.

“I’m just happy we don’t have to worry about a being like Kratos rampaging around our lands,” said Celestia in relief. Getting a nod from Luna, both happy that they didn’t have to fear a being that would stop at nothing to kill them and everything they built for.

“PRINCESSES!!!” yelled a gruff voice that surprised the two royal sisters and caused them to turn towards where the voice came from. But as soon as they did they came face to face with the very person they were talking about. The ghost of sparda himself, Kratos!

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHH,” the princesses screamed as they began to feel a little light headed as the room was spinning. The next moment they saw nothing but a black void as they passed out.

A familiar voice started to giggle and said, “Look what the magic box gave us, it’s a full budy standee of Kra-Kra. Isn’t it cool?” A familiar pink furred and pink maned face popped out from the side of the standee and asked, “Princesses? You okay?”

The only response she got where her friends facepalming.
