Previous Chapter Next ChapterKratos vs Spawn
“Phew, thanks for letting use your bathroom, Sunset.” Applejack thanked as she just came back from her bathroom break.
“No problem, you guys are always welcome in my house.” Sunset smiled before she starts playing the next episode of Death Battle.
Wiz: Of all the warriors who have entered this arena, none can compete with these two titans of death.
“Oh, sounds those two are very strong dudes.” Flash commented.
Wiz: Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta who single-handedly annihilated Olympus.
“Huh, Twilight, doesn’t legend say about Olympus being home of Greek Gods?” Sunset asked shock.
“Yes, I do seem to recall that.” Twilight answered.
Boomstick: And Spawn, who managed to dethrone both Satan and God.
“The fuck?” Rainbow Dash fucked.
“Okay, those two are WAY tougher than I thought.” Flash said feeling a bit scared.
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
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 struck 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.
“Guess being a half-God can make you a pretty powerful warrior.” Sunset said.
“Yeah, but I don’t like that Ares guy. The flaming hair gives off the evil vibe.” Pinkie narrowed her eyes of suspicious.
“But Gods are good, right?” Fluttershy asked.
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!
“That answer your question.” Spike said.
“Not cool, Boomstick! Death and Family is not something to joke about.” Rainbow Dash angered.
“Especially when it happens to someone who ended up doing the deed.” Applejack said upset too.
Wiz: As the white, hot ashes of his family clung permanently to his skin-
Boomstick: Just like Michael Jackson!
Everyone is confused of who this Michael Jaskson is and probably thought he didn’t get white skin like that.
Wiz: -his quest for vengeance against the gods of Olympus began.
“I’m guessing that Ares won’t be the only God Kratos will go after.” Rarity feared.
Background
Over 6’ Tall
A Spartan Warrior
Holds the Rank Captain
Self-Centered Anti-Hero
Superhuman Strength, Speed, and Endurance
Wiz: As a demigod, Kratos possesses great strength, speed, and endurance. He can survive a pummeling from a Titan and best the power of Hercules.
“Man, I’m not sure if ma superstrength is strong enough to battle a giant.” Applejack surprised.
“Not unless you can grow giant size.” Pinkie stated.
Blades of Exile
Dual Short Swords
Wield with Chains Seared to Arms
Hook Design
Made from the Remains of the Blades of Athena
Flame On! (Sunset likes that)
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.
“That looks difficult to wield.” Fluttershy said for newbies.
Boomstick: And like most badass weapons, they can somehow emit fire.
“Fire powered weapons are great to have.” Sunset grinned.
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.
Blade of Olympus
Can Kill Gods and Titans
Contains God Powers
Fires Blue Energy Waves
About 5 Feet Long
“Looks cool and all, but the Blade of Sweets is better!” Pinkie bragged.
“You’re talking about the big sword shape cookie you made two weeks ago, are you?” Flash asked.
“You got that right, Blue Cutie.” Pinkie winked at Flash causing his cheeks to blush a little and Sunset giggle.
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.
“And thus, my guess went off on a high note.” Rarity sighed.
“Could be worst, like this Zeus guy is somehow Kratos’s father.” Rainbow Dash said.
Wiz: And making the Blade of Olympus a deadly harbinger of death to even the toughest Olympians.
Golden Fleece
Gold Armlet
Blocks Attacks
Deflects Projectiles and Magical Attacks (That got the Rainbooms worry)
Strong Enough to Counter the Blade of Olympus
Wiz: His most versatile defense is his Golden Fleece, armor capable of blocking powerful blows and deflecting magical attacks.
“Cool defense to have for football season.” Rainbow Dash commented.
“But deflecting magic can be a problem if it were use against us.” Twilight pointed out which the girls to think about with a slight worry expression on their faces.
Bow of Apollo
Can Rapid-Fire Arrows
Charged Fire Arrows
Does Not Drain Kratos’ Magic Limit
Quick with a Long Range
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.
“Bet that would have helped me during the Friendship Games.” Twilight said sarcastically.
“I think it needs the wielder doing the work.” Applejack said.
Claws of Hades
Used like Blades of Exile
Spiked Chains and Hooks
Rips Souls from Victims
Can be Resisted.
Can Summon Souls
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.
“That would make anyone who wields them to be like the Grimm Reaper.” Sunset gasped.
“Good thing those don’t exist in our world.” Flash hoped he’s right.
“No’s taking my soul!” Pinkie declared and hold up a frosty squeezer in the air.
Nemean Cestus
Giant Metal Gauntlets (Applejack Interested)
Lion-Like Appearance
Originally Owned by Hercules
Incredibly Strong
Can Create Shockwaves Which Stun Foes
Boomstick: The Nemean Cestus are giant ultra-strong gauntlets which can stun foes with brutal shockwaves.
“I don’t like the way those gloves look.” Spike narrowed his eyes on the lion face of the gauntlets.
“Well, lions are used as many symbols like one being strength.” Fluttershy explained.
“I would like to go for a spin with those gloves.” Applejack interested to see if they can make her magical superstrength stronger.
Boots of Hermes
Greaves with Small Wings
Improved Running Speed (Rainbow Dash likes that)
Can Run Up Walls
Wiz: The Boots of Hermes give him superhuman speed.
“Oh yeah, I want those for my birthday!” Rainbow Dash cheered, even though she knew that may never happen.
“I don’t know, Rainbow Dash, you’re awesomely fast without them.” Flash believed.
“Hmm, I guess you’re right.” Rainbow Dash accepted that.
Icarus Wings
Can Glide and Fly
Huge 18’ Wingspan
Slowly Falls Apart During Flight
Ripped from Icarus’ Back
Wiz: 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.
“It looks like Gods and Titans aren’t the only things Kratos kills on his war path.” Pinkie exclaimed, fearing how sad Kratos’ like is.
“Although, it would be nice to have wings to fly.” Flash muttered to himself.
Boomstick: Holy crap, that's a lot of weapons! I like this guy!
“I guess carrying those weapons around can make you look badass in case anyone tries to mess with you.” Rainbow Dash bragged.
“I rather look cute and peaceful than deadly.” Fluttershy stand what she said.
Wiz: Kratos is not invincible, but he is very difficult to kill.
Boomstick: Hell, he can't even kill himself!
Everyone gasps when they saw Kratos impaling himself with the Blade of Olympus to commit suicide.
“So, do Demigods count as immortals?” Rarity asked curious.
“Not sure, perhaps he just has a very strong self-healing ability.” Twilight guessed.
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!
“Oh God, please no!” Rarity complained.
Sunset shield Flash’s eyes by pulling his head into her breasts for a few seconds.
“Well, Aphrodite is known as the God of Love and Beauty.” Twilight mentioned nervously.
“Guess even Kratos can’t destroy something like that.” Applejack shrugged.
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.
“And all because one God decided to screw his life.” Pinkie rolled her eyes.
Ares: I was trying to make you a great warrior.
Kratos: You succeeded.
Kratos impales Ares with the Blade of Olympus.
Spawn
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.
“Even assassin can question themselves in their life choices.” Sunset said.
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.
“He was tricked badly.” Rainbow Dash called it.
Boomstick: But as with most Demons, it tricked him, leaving Spawn with a fate worse than death. And of course, Spawn swore revenge!
“Knew it.” Rainbow Dash sighed.
Background
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 450 lbs.
Skilled Assassin
Superhuman Strength, Speed, and Durability
Composed of Necroplasm
Regeneration Healing
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!
“Feeding off evil auras. Doesn’t that remind you of the Dazzlings?” Flash asked.
“Yeah, but they needed to sing to absorb negative energy in their bodies.” Sunset mentioned.
“Not to mention force anyone into being negative and mind-control too.” Pinkie added.
Leetha of the 7th House of K
Symbiotic Suit
Can Create Chains, Spikes, Claws, Shrouds, etc.
Has a Mind of its Own
Feeds off Necroplasm or Natural Evil Energies
Wiz: He wears a living parasitic-symbiotic suit named Leetha of the 7th House of K.
“Living suit? That sounds to me like a future science project.” Twilight said getting an idea.
“That looks scares me sometimes.” Spike admitted.
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.
“A badass cape from Hell, nice.” Rainbow Dash amazed.
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.
“Dark Stylish and dangerous, I should try making a combination like that.” Rarity impressed.
Wiz: 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.
“So, it can run on the same source of power like Spawn.” Sunset interested.
Magic
Can Alter Matter
Communicate with Animals (Fluttershy likes that)
Flight and Teleportation
Necroplasm Projectile
Healing the Sick and Even Resurrecting the Dead
Elemental Control
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!
“Man, that’s a lot more power than several powerful unicorns combined.” Sunset shocked.
“I like the power to talk with animals, it just like mine.” Fluttershy admired that power.
Wiz: And he can control the elements, often using fire and water to defeat swarms of enemies.
“Wow, imagine what how powerful he can be if he uses all four elements together.” Flash surprised.
“That would make him Captain Planet!” Pinkie saluted.
“Who?” Everyone confused.
“Just a cartoon character the author told me.” Pinkie said, they decided not to question it and went back to watching the episode.
Expert Marksman
Weapon of Choice
Least Effective Weapons
Skilled with All Types
Wiz: 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.
“Old habits die hard, even for a dead man.” Sunset commented.
Specific Weakness
Magic Necroplasm (Everyone Confuse of that)
Holy Weapons Forged in Heaven
His Dwindling Amount of Nercoplasm
Can Only Die through Beheading
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.
“That means he’ll have to get ‘A-Head’ of his foes before they can.” Pinkie joked which made her friends laugh a little.
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.
“Whoa! Didn’t see that coming.” Rainbow Dash shocked.
“Maybe God was trying to go on vacation.” Rarity guessed.
Boomstick: Really? God looks like my nanna... Am I a demigod?
“Oh please no, please don’t let it be like that.” Rarity begged.
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.
“Seriously?” Flash confused.
Boomstick: Oh, why the hell would he do that? He must've been really bored!
“Or maybe he didn’t want to make himself feel like God or Satan after the kind of life he’s been through.” Fluttershy said.
“But he still could have kept the powers for like extreme, cosmic emergencies.” Rainbow Dash stated.
Spawn blows up a wall, walks in with guns in his hands.
Spawn: Knock, knock!
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It’s time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!
“I’m a little nervous to see which one will win.” Flash said.
“I can tell, a battle between two warrior who overthrew the Gods can make ones feel intense.” Sunset understood the feeling.
“Which means this battle could go either way.” Applejack guessed as the battle begins.
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.
“Oh, this feels scary.” Fluttershy said shaking a little.
FIGHT
(Music: God of War 3 Battle Theme)
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.
“Leetha is gonna need more than chains against the white guy.” Twilight pointed out.
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.
“Now Spawn is playing hide and seek with Kratos.” Pinkie figured Spawn is using invisibility right now.
“More like Hide and Kill in this fight.” Spike commented.
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.
“Air Combo!” Pinkie said dramatically.
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.
“C-C-C-Combo Breaker!” Pinkie said in a robot kind tone.
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.
Spawn: You're pissing me off.
“Trust me, man. You haven’t seen how angry he gets.” Rainbow Dash proclaimed.
But before he can attack, Kratos grabs him with the Blades and they both fall into the pit.
“Looks like Kratos prefer taking his foes down with him.” Flash said.
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.
“Oh, done in by his own flame of revenge.” Spike shocked.
“Down, but I don’t think he’s out.” Rarity said.
Kratos, however, jumps from the blaze with the Blade of Olympus in hand.
“Now it’s down the big sword!” Rainbow Dash and Flash excited at the same time.
Nearly striking the teleporting Spawn, then easily cutting through Leetha's chains and stabbing Spawn through the chest.
“Okay, now he’s done for.” Twilight said.
“I don’t think so.” Fluttershy shook her head, knowing Spawn can still fight.
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.
Spawn: DIE!
Spawn then creates a large spike in his hand through Kratos' head, killing the Ghost of Sparta.
KO
Boomstick: Aaahhhh, man - here comes the rage from the God of War fanboys!
“Oh yeah, they’ll be very upset about that.” Applejack nodded.
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!
“Yeah, because you need to behead him for the kill.” Sunset mentioned.
“Along with the amounts of magical power he has too.” Flash said.
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.
“I guess Kratos should upgraded his weapons if he wants to kill a Hellspawn.” Rainbow Dash pointed out.
Boomstick: Except the Blade of Olympus, but it wasn't enough.
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.
“Right, which means Spawn doesn’t have to worry about running low on energy in a fight.” Twilight said.
Boomstick: Well, that was one Hell of a fight!
This time, Rainbow Dash laughs along with Pinkie thinking the joke was actually funny.
Wiz: The Winner is Spawn.
“I’m glad Spawn won.” Fluttershy smiled.
“Because he has the same powers as yours, right?” Applejack asked.
“Yes.” Fluttershy answered without shame.
“Let just hope Kratos can finally rest in peace.” Flash prayed as the other agrees that the Ghost of Spartan deserve to sleep.
“(I wonder if Princess Celestia ever had to face some who don’t believe in Gods?)” Sunset thought wondered.
