Kratos vs. Wonder Woman

## Description

*The God of War meets the Goddess of Truth in a duel to the death. Who among these children of Zeus will win this bout?*

## Interlude

Hiro: Zeus, one of the most powerful gods in mythology and father to the most powerful demigod warriors to ever live.

**MBStarscream: That rapist can’t keep it in his pants, but it created some very powerful warriors that rival the gods themselves. And we're gonna pit those warriors against each other to determine who is the mightiest of all.**

Hiro: Kratos, the god slayer of Sparta from God of War.

**MBStarscream: And Wonder Woman, Princess of Themyscira and Goddess of Truth from DC Comics.**

Hiro: I'm Hiro Hamada.

**MBStarscream: I'm MBStarscream.**

Hiro: And it's our job to examine both warriors' strength, abilities, weapons, and weaknesses to see who would win in a fight.

## Kratos

Hiro: Born in Sparta, Greece, Kratos was taught to be the best warrior he can be since childhood alongside his brother Deimos, who was later kidnapped by his father Zeus in the fear that he would be his demise. As he grew up, he didn't let the loss of his brother slow him down. He quickly climbed the ranks of the Spartan military, becoming a general in no time.

**MBStarscream: From the original 50 men, his army grew to thousands of soldiers. With his army and Spartan training, Kratos conquered army after army, his thirst for power growing with each victory. But the tables soon turned on them when the Spartans encountered the Barbarians of the east.**

Hiro: The Spartans were being butchered, slaughtered mercilessly by the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. Kratos himself challenged the army's king, but was left begging for his life... However, he was not begging the king. He was begging Ares. The God of War.

**MBStarscream: As Kratos swore to give his life to the God, he stepped down from the heavens, killing the Barbarian army and giving Kratos the Blades of Chaos, allowing him to kill the Barbarian King. Swearing his allegiance to Ares, Kratos would soon become the greatest warrior Greece had ever seen.**

Hiro: Under Ares' service, Kratos became a monster. He lost compassion and most of his humanity raiding villages and slaughtering the God of War's enemies. But, on one of the raids, Ares betrayed him. As the Spartan cut down every villager in sight, he failed to notice that two of them were his very wife and daughter - whom Ares secretly transported from Sparta.

**MBStarscream: Oh, you done fucked up now, Ares!**

Hiro: With the ashes of his family covering his body, turning it completely white, the newly-crowned Ghost of Sparta swore revenge upon the God of War. Nothing would stand in his way to vengeance.

**MBStarscream: Anything stupid enough to try was torn to pieces in Kratos' rage. The entire Greek pantheon would eventually crumble at his hand when he killed his own father in a final showdown, resulting in the end of the world. After Kratos was done with Olympus, he travelled far from his original land, eventually making his way to the land of the Norse gods.**

Hiro: There, he met a woman named Faye, whom he would fall in and have a child with. This boy was named Atreus, although his mother insisted on a name closer to the Norse world. As the years passed, Kratos spent more time training to control his own anger than with his own son, until one day, his wife died mysteriously.

**MBStarscream: Faye's last request was for her husband and son to scatter her ashes from the tallest peak in of all the nine realms. Having started a new life and having the responsibility of a father on his shoulders, Kratos had to not only deal with the ghosts of his past but also learn to be a proper daddy for Atreus. And he's slowly getting there.**

Hiro: Kratos possesses incredible super strength, able to overpower monsters, Titans, and even Hercules, who was known for being unrivaled in sheer strength.The many impressive feats of Kratos include using his bare hands and raw strength to prevent the Titans Atlas and Cronos from crushing him, managing to wrestle and subdue many large and powerful beasts, including the Hydra.

**MBStarscream: Even against Hercules, Kratos proved capable of stopping his charges, forcing him back and enduring his powerful bear-hugs without any ill-effects, even breaking free from them and defeating him, and even pushed a 1 million ton bridge with little to no effort. Kratos is also highly agile, possessing the ability to sense danger.**

Hiro: Kratos can also keep up with beings who possess superhuman speed, such as Zeus, Charon, Hermes, and Pollux and the time-bending Castor. Kratos also has useful skills that include climbing mountains and buildings, jumping with great heights, and swinging like an ape from a side to another over large gaps.

**MBStarscream: Kratos is incredibly fast, capable of matching the likes of Zeus who has the speed of lightning, Charon, Hermes, and Pollux and Castor who possessed chronokinesis. His speed can at times prove to be a major factor in his victories, as shown by how he used his superior speed to kill Magni before he could react and block Baldur's attacks despite being slower than him.**

Hiro: Kratos is extremely durable, capable of withstanding falls from great heights and walking away unharmed, getting crushed, stabbed, beaten, blasted, and burned by various enemies and traps without any lasting damage as well as survive extreme environments such as Hel, the Norse Realm of the Dead, which according to Mimir was said to be so cold that not even Odin himself can survive there for long, as well as Muspelheim. In addition, blows from most other extremely physically powerful opponents have little-to-no effect against him.

**MBStarscream: He isn't just physically tough; Kratos is extremely resilient to many forms of powerful magic, allowing him to easily take mystical attacks capable of normally killing humans with ease from the gods. This does not prevent his body from being physically wounded, although most wounds that would kill a mortal man are much less fatal to him.**

Hiro: In addition to having once been immortal as the new God of War until he lost his godhood, Kratos has been cursed for his sins to never be able to die, henceforth how he survived his suicide with the Blade of Olympus. He does age physically, albeit at a much slower rate than a mortal, but will not die from aging.

**MBStarscream: Kratos possesses an almost unlimited amount of stamina compared to a mortal man, allowing him to remain constantly active for days without tiring. This allows him to accomplish such feats as spending days scaling the temple of Pandora to reach Pandora's Box or taking down enormous monsters that require him to stay on the move. Kratos is also a highly skilled and powerful warrior, displaying immense mastery with various weapons.**

Hiro: It is implied that he learned many of his fighting skills from other gods, most notably Ares, the Former God of War himself. In general, Kratos' years of training and experience made him a dangerous combatant in both armed and unarmed combat, he is particularly good at wrestling and close combat, using his high physical prowess and Spartan technique to compensate for his lacks of superhuman powers that other gods possess. His age did not hamper his skill at all, allowing him to effectively hunt monsters and proved capable of overpowering the likes of Magni and Baldur in battle.

**MBStarscream: Although often defined by his brute strength, Kratos has demonstrated multiple times that he had the wisdom to solve problems he encountered throughout his journey, being able to solve complex puzzles created by some of the best Greek architects, and even some Nordic puzzles. Kratos also has incredible willpower and determination which cannot be broken; once he sets his mind on a goal, he will not stop until that is complete, no matter what obstacles get in his way.**

Hiro: Kratos' main weapons are the Blades of Chaos, Athene, and Exile. While they have their own unique features, what is common about these 3 pairs is that they are Short Swords that have powers of fire and are jagged. The Blades of Exile are the most powerful among these three pairs, having been upgraded by Athena using the Blades of Athena. Kratos uses them to slice, eviscerate and impale enemies, as well as using them as chained grappling hooks, either to drag enemies towards him or climb mountains.

**MBStarscream: His other gear includes the Golden Fleece, which can block incredible blows and deflect magic. The Bow of Apollo is quick to fire with a long range, and can be charged to fire flaming arrows. The Claws of Hades can rip the souls from opponents, the Nemean Cestus are gigantic metal gauntlets than stun foes with pure power, and the Boots of Hermes give him superhuman speed. But his greatest weapon is the Blade of Olympus, the weapon that ended the Great War and banished the Titans to Tartarus.**

Hiro: This blade possesses incredible godly powers, which allowed those who wielded it to kill Deities or those who were infused with Godly Might, as Kratos used it to slay the Colossus of Rhodes, Athena, Perses, Cronos, Zeus, and Gaia. The Blade could also release blasts of energy that were powerful enough to destroy armies in one swing.

**MBStarscream: Unfortunately, since travelling to the Nordic Realm, Kratos seems to have lost all the weapons he obtained from his quest of vengeance sans the Blades of Chaos, having been destroyed by Zeus back when he was fighting him. Kratos, however, more than makes up for losing his Greek era weapons by wielding the Leviathan Axe, a magic two-handed axe forged by the Huldra Brothers, Sindri and Brok, for Kratos' late wife before it later passed to Kratos by Faye herself. It has several symbols inscribed on the weapon's blade which give it special powers, among them being the ability to call the weapon back to the wielder's hand like Thor's Mjolnir and Ice magic.**

Hiro: While the Blades of Chaos, whom he unearthed to fight the forces in Helheim, possessed the properties of fire, which can also burn enemies in a certain heavy combo attack, the Leviathan Axe's ice magic is very effective against enemies with the attribute of Burn, while the fiery swing of the Blades damage effectively those of Frost. After meeting with Brok and Sindri, gem slots called Runic Attacks are given on each weapon's head that modifies the axe's and the blades' abilities. Kratos also wields the Guardian Shield, a collapsible shield that can be used to parry and block enemy attacks and can also be used offensively in combination with the Blades of Chaos and Kratos' fists.

**MBStarscream: Kratos is certainly a terror to both the Greek and Norse pantheons. With the knowledge of Kratos being involved in Ragnarök being enough to make Odin fear him, it seems that Kratos's might rivals, if not, surpasses that of Thor and Odin, two of the most powerful Norse Gods.**

Hiro: He's slain dark elves, trolls, dragons, the Furies, and just about the entirety of Olympus. He can seal holes in the fabric of reality, fight on par with Baldur, move Tyr's temple with ease, and split the ground apart when fighting Baldur. But as monstrously tough as he is, Kratos isn't quite invincible.

**MBStarscream: He can be outmatched by foes of equal or superior power, best shown when Baldur proved to be quite a toughie for him just to disable, let alone be able to actually kill. He's also died on multiple occasions and before meeting Faye was a major hothead.**

Hiro: But the moment you trigger the God of War's wrath, your fate is sealed.

*Kratos: The cycle ends here. We must be better than this. [Snaps Baldur's neck]*

## Wonder Woman

Hiro: Long, long ago, when humans were far less advanced than they were now, the Greek gods created an island that was nigh impossible to find called Themyscira and populated it with the world’s most powerful warriors: The Amazons.

**MBStarscream: The Amazons were 100% women and trained day and night to hone their skills as fighters, making them far better than any normal man. And Themyscira stayed like this for millennia.**

Hiro: That is until one day in World War I, when a man by the name of Steve Trevor accidentally crash landed on the island. Steve was a fighter in the war, and told the Amazons about what was happening in the outside world. As a result, the queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta, elected to hold a tournament to see which of their warriors would make their way to the “world of man” as their ambassador.

**MBStarscream: Enter Diana, Hippolyta’s daughter and princess of the Amazons. Diana’s birth was different from most: she was molded from clay itself and given her power by the gods, who expected her to be something special in her adult life. However, Hippolyta had forbidden Diana from entering the tournament due to the dangers it presented. But Diana, like most rebellious children who are told not to do something, did it anyway while hiding her identity.**

Hiro: At the end of the tournament, there was one final test: to deflect a bullet fired from a gun, and only Diana was able to do so. While her mother was unhappy to see that her daughter had broken her rules, she still decided to let Diana be their ambassador.

**MBStarscream: But from this day forth, she took on a far more badass name: Wonder Woman.**

Hiro: As Wonder Woman, Diana proved herself to be one of the most capable people in the entire world. Thanks to the powers granted to her by the gods, she was incredibly powerful, comparable to the likes of other DC Heralds like Superman. So it was no surprise that she ended up being a founding member of the DCU’s main team of superheroes: the Justice League, as well as being one of the heads of the Justice League alongside Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern.

**MBStarscream: Truly, Wonder Woman showed that the Amazons were worthy of being the guardians of mankind, and she certainly has the power to prove it.**

Hiro: Due to being a half-god, half-amazon, Wonder Woman shares great superhuman strength, speed and durability as well as superhuman stamina and reflexes. In particular, Wonder Woman has great superhuman hearing and eyesight as she can hear a fair distance away from herself. Her eyesight is also so keen that she can see things as small as plankton with the naked eye.

**MBStarscream: Gifted unto her by the messenger god Hermes, Diana possesses the power to fly at high speeds, and as a demigoddess, can age much longer than a normal human being. While she still can be killed, she has an extensive healing factor that was granted to her by Demeter, the Goddess of Earth, which will heal her injuries at an extremely fast rate.**

Hiro: Granted to her by the Goddess of Wisdom, Diana is one of the most intelligent heroes in the DC Universe. She is multilingual, being able to speak many languages including Themysciran, Greek, Mandarin Chinense, Hindi, and Russian. The Wisdom of Athena has made her an expert strategist and leader, and as such, she is the key strategist of the Justice League besides Batman.

**MBStarscream: Due to being blessed by Athena and Artemis, Wonder Woman is easily able to detect beings and their emotions, as such she can use this ability to communicate with animals. She can use this ability to calm down angry beings such as the time she calmed down an entire group of dinosaurs.**

Hiro: Growing up in a martial society like the Amazons gives Diana a wellspring of practice and wisdom to better hone her craft; even fellow martial artist Batman concedes that her prowess in unarmed combat is easily the most developed in the world. Having been born during the days of the Roman Empire, Diana has several millennia of experience to give her an edge in combat.

**MBStarscream: Wonder Woman is able to telepathically communicate with other beings. She can telepathically sense things such as divine beings, divinely-charged beings and heat. She also possesses impressive mental resistances as she endured a mental attack for 117 whole days, or 3.8 months.**

Hiro: Wonder Woman’s most famous piece of equipment and her primary weapon is the golden Lasso of Truth. It is forged from the purest gold and is said to be incorruptible. This magical tether is famous for being able to force truthful statements out of those bound within it.

**MBStarscream: The lasso's more than just a lie-detector; It's infinite in length and strength as well as unbreakable to most, sturdy enough to help pull the Earth and slice Martian Manhunter into ribbons. The lasso is also capable of other magical abilities, like using the truth to slay a creature of Death and forcing a thug to relive his entire life, driving him to suicide. Damn.**

Hiro: Additionally, victims can be forced to face reality or the future of their decisions. The lasso can use the truth to force people to revert back into their original forms, and can also be used to free people and other beings from mind control or drive off the influences of anyone proficient in telepathy.

**MBStarscream: The lasso can summon the Fires of Hestia, which are powerful flames that can burn Black Lanterns into ashes and be used as protection from monsters. Not even the Olympian gods have resistance against these flames. The lasso possesses other miscellaneous magical abilities, such as conducting magical energy, mind controlling others, and pouring life into others. It has shown itself to be very effective against demons especially.**

Hiro: Finally, the lasso is capable of various soul manipulating abilities. Users of the lasso can go inside people’s souls and look through their memories, attack and torture souls, “napalm” them, and bring themselves into the user’s soul.

**MBStarscream: Okay, I want this lasso.**

Hiro: Like all Amazons, Diana wears two magic bracelets called the Bracelets of Submission, comprised of the godly Eighth Metal, one of the strongest elements in the multiverse. They are almost indestructible, capable of withstanding both Zeus’ and Nekron’s lightning, and even Darkseid's Omega Beams.

**MBStarscream: Most pressing of the bracelets' applications, however, would be their usage as suppressors of Diana's full godly power. When those bracelets come off, the full extent of Diana's might is hers to command.**

Hiro: Diana's most reliable weapon would be a double-edged straight sword forged by the blacksmith god Hephaestus; so sharp is its blade that it can sever atoms. The Sword of Hephaestus can even split a nucleus, which, when done, releases enough energy to cause a nuclear explosion. It is also strong enough to pierce some of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, such as Darkseid and Doomsday, cutting the latter's hand clean off in one instance.

**MBStarscream: Accompanying this sword is an extremely durable Greek shield that allows Diana to block attacks from powerful beings such as Doomsday and Lantern constructs. Diana can also use her tiara as a thrown projectile with enough power to decapitate a god. In terms of throwing speed, Wondie can throw it quick enough to tag and hit Cheetah, who is consistently stated to be nearly as fast as the Flash.**

Hiro: During her tenure in man's world, the Amazon princess has earned her reputation in mankind's eyes. Diana helped found the Justice League, a team comprised of the greatest superheroes in the world, and her place in their ranks is similarly justified.

**MBStarscream: Her strength is such that she could shatter meteors as a toddler, obliterate Doomsday with a single punch, and hurt Apollo, literally the Sun, with her physical strikes. She can parry the incoming fragments of the Shattered God flying towards her from across the universe and trade blows with Zoom while blinded; putting the latter into context, the force of Zoom's punches, thrown at nearly the speed of light, possess two billion megatons of force.**

Hiro: Surviving blows like these and point-blank nuclear explosions show the sheer magnitude of her durability to be similar to her speed. Similarly, alongside Superman and Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman has pulled celestial bodies out of orbit and has proven triumphant in combat against every member of the Justice League at one point or another. As sweeping as the scope of Diana's accomplishments may be, it can be easy to forget she still has weaknesses.

**MBStarscream: Diana constantly clashes with her godly power and her humanity, and as such purposefully limits her own power out of fear of going insane - only tapping into the Godforce when she is 100% backed into a corner. If she is unable to use her power through magic that is stronger than the gods or the gods being unwilling to give her power, she will lose the vast majority of her strength.**

Hiro: Diana has also shown difficulty when dealing with piercing weapons such as swords and bullets, meaning a strong enough sword or piercing weapon can stab her and end her right there and then. But the champion of Themyscira would require more than a stab wound to put down given all that has stood in her way before and soon been forced aside.

**MBStarscream: Indeed, Wonder Woman is a champion of justice beloved the world over, an inspiration and a blessing for her continued acts of heroism.**

*Doomsday fires his heat vision at a cornered Batman, but something drops into its path, blocking it. When Doomsday stops his attack, Wonder Woman herself is revealed, the glow of the heat fading from her bracers as she lowers her arms, showing a look of fierce determination.*

## Fatal Fiction

*Mario flips a coin.*

Hiro: Well, these two godly warriors shall have this colosseum all to themselves in this Fatal Fiction. Only one of them will walk out of it alive.

**MBStarscream: Gotta love sibling rivalries.**

*A gladiatorial arena*

The hot sun shining down into its center, the colosseum stood on its own, not a single person to be found in the stands. Outside, a tall, muscular, pale man with a thick dark beard, a bald head, tattoos across his head and body and an axe walked up to the wooden door that led to the arena and put his hands under it, slightly grunting as he pushed the door upward. He walked into the empty arena, observing the stands that would usually be filled with thousands. The man, **Kratos**, then looked up and reached behind him for his axe.

With a heavy thud, someone dropped out of the sky and landed in front of Kratos. It was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a red armor body plate that bore a gold eagle-shaped breastplate, and a matching golden W-shaped belt plate. Below this was a blue skirt and knee-high dark red armored combat boots. This was Princess Diana of Themyscira, better known as **Wonder Woman**.

"Who are you, woman?" Kratos asked as he pulled out his axe. "You face the might of an Amazon." Said Diana as she summoned a sword from thin air and readied her shield. Kratos' grip on the Leviathan Axe tightened slightly as he looked at the princess. "I have faced far worse."

"Show me."

**FIGHT!**

Kratos kicked off towards Diana, swinging his axe at her. It collided with Diana's shield, which started to freeze as Kratos pushed Diana back. Pulling his axe out of the frost-covered shield, Kratos swung again, but Diana ducked under the swing and uppercut Kratos with her shield. As Kratos staggered back, Diana tapped her shield with her sword, causing the ice to shatter, before charging at the Ghost of Sparta. Her sword clashed with the head of the Leviathan Axe, both warriors striking at each other again and again. Kratos eventually managed to force Diana's sword out of her hands, and tried to strike her with his axe, but Diana shielded herself from his attack with the Bracelets of Submission. Unfortunately, her bracelets started freezing until her hands were stuck in their position.

Yelling loudly, Kratos swung his axe as hard as he could, but missed as Diana jumped back. Diana pulled her arms back as ice could be heard breaking, then smashed her bracelets together to create a shockwave strong enough to knock Kratos back. Recovering from the attack, Kratos threw the Leviathan Axe at Diana, who parried the weapon with her shield. She flew towards Kratos and tried to punch him in the face, but her fist instead hit the Guardian Shield. Diana threw several more punches as the shield absorbed the kinetic energy from her blows. Kratos then thrust the shield forward, slamming it into Diana and pushing her back.

Kratos decided to follow this up by punching Diana several times until the Goddess of Truth maanged to block one of his blows and punch him back. Punches flew wildly as Kratos and Diana brawled, the two Greek creations equally matched in combat. As if perfectly synchronized, the warriors then started to grapple, pushing against one another with all their might. The sheer strength exuded by both fighters caused a shockwave to erupt outward, a large crack forming between the combatants and the colosseum itself splitting in two.

"I'll admit, you are certainly strong." Diana complimented. "But an Amazon's might is still greater."

"Let us test that." Kratos said in response.

Then out of nowhere, Kratos tossed Diana towards the arena's wall, the Amazon's body hitting the solid surface hard enough to crack it. Calling the Leviathan Axe back into his hand, Kratos hurled it at Diana, who managed to dodge as the axe embedded itself into the wall. As Diana closed the distance, the axe suddenly hit her from behind as it flew towards its owner and into his hand again. Kratos then started spinning rapidly as an icy whirlwind formed around him, knocking Diana backward. Kratos tried to continue his attack, but Diana countered by grabbing the axe and punching him in the gut, then tripping him with a sweeping kick and kicking him away from he was floored. As Kratos got up, Diana threw punch after punch at the God of War before sending him flying back with a strong kick.

Diana then took off her tiara and threw it at Kratos, who blocked it with his Guardian Shield as the tiara returned to the Themysciran. Kratos ran towards Diana to bash her with his shield, who raised her bracelets to block. Diana pushed Kratos back by planting a kick into his shield, then primed the Lasso of Truth and snagged Kratos by the leg with it. With a pull, Kratos fell onto his back before he was spun around the arena, wincing in pain as he slid across the walls. Throwing Kratos into the air, Diana flew up after him to punch him further into the atmosphere. Kratos threw his Leviathan Axe down at Diana, who dodged it by flying to the left. Before Kratos could call his axe back, Diana wrapped her arms around him and continued carrying him upward until a punch to the head forced her to let go.

Kratos continued to pummel Diana as the fighters started falling towards the colosseum until he got his arms around her waist, causing Diana to take the worst of the impact as they landed in the arena. Pinning Diana down underneath himself, Kratos assaulted the Amazon's face with his blows as his knuckles started turning red with blood. Diana struggled to force Kratos off of her, but was helpless as the Ghost of Sparta's fists slammed into her skull over and over. Kratos then raised both fists over his head and slammed them twice on Diana's face, one final blow causing the princess to go limp.

Breathing heavily, Kratos got up and looked down at Diana's form, her entire face covered with her blood. Her nose was broken and leaking blood from both nostrils, her lips were busted, and her eyes were closed as she lay still. Staring at his handiwork, Kratos sighed before turning around to leave, making sure to call his Leviathan Axe back to him.

He did not notice Diana's eyes opening as he walked away.

A groan of pain caught Kratos' attention, and he turned to see Diana struggling to her feet. She reached her hand up to her jaw and popped it as her face started healing.

"You still stand?" Kratos said with surprise.

"Goddess Athena will guide me to victory." Diana said, opening her eyes to look at the god slayer. Then, while not taking her eyes off Kratos, she removed her bracelets from her wrists, fully exposing her bare arms. With a moment's concentration, the Amazon drew upon the full might of her godly heritage. She outstretched an arm as the sword of Hephaestus, runes now adorning the fuller, rematerialized in her opened hand as Kratos readied his axe and shield.

Diana flew towards Kratos and swung her sword as Kratos countered with his axe. Sparks flashed from the ensuing collisions between sword and axe as each demigod matches their foe's every swing with one just as precise. Diana eventually landed a three-hit combo with her sword on Kratos, a backhand swipe after the third hit sending the God of War flying. Kratos raised his Guardian Shield as Diana went on the offensive again; he was not expecting a single slash from his opponent's sword to break right through his shield, slicing it in two. An overhead slash from Diana knocked Kratos off balance, but he recovered in time to block the sword of Hephaestus anew.

Kratos managed to kick Diana in the stomach, making her double over. He immediately started slashing away at Diana with his axe until the Amazon princess managed to jump backward as the Leviathan Axe struck the ground. Kratos dodged two punches from Diana and tried to attack her with his axe, but Diana was quicker, moving her head as the axe missed her by inches. Kratos tried to slam his axe down on her, but Diana grabbed the axe's head with one hand and squeezed, causing it to crack as Kratos stared in shock. As its head was crushed in Diana's grip, an explosion of frost magic knocked both fighters away. Kratos crawled over to his axe and picked it up, looking at where its head once was.

This weapon belonged to his wife. He may have wielded it now, but it always felt like it was someone else's, and it was. This axe was HERS. SHE owned this axe, and SHE passed down to him in her last moments of life.

And now it was broken. The Leviathan Axe, once a mighty weapon, was now essentially just a useless stick.

**Spartan Rage Available**

**(L3+R3)**

Kratos growled in fury as his muscles and veins became much more prominent, and his eyes emitted a yellowish glow. Then, with a apoplectic roar, he charged at Diana and grabbed her in a bear hug, running at astounding speed towards the nearest wall and slamming Diana into it. Cracks formed on the wall as he rapidly punched Diana, his blows embued with fire. With one final punch, Diana was launched through the wall of the arena. Diana was planted into the earth as Kratos rushed out of the hole and jumped up to slam both fists onto Diana. Diana quickly moved back as Kratos smashed the ground in front of her, then pressed his assault.

Kratos hit with the force of a nuclear-powered piledriver as he threw a wild flurry of blows at Diana, the Amazon princess struggling to block his monstrous attacks. A powerful haymaker sent Diana flying through the air as Kratos ripped a huge boulder out of the ground and threw it at Diana, the boulder shattering to pieces on impact as Diana flew back and hit the ground. Diana got up as Kratos blindly rushed at her and threw a punch. Diana managed to block the blow and started trading punches with the God of War. Kratos then grabbed Diana by the head, smashed it to the ground a few times, then kicked her away while she was down. He pummeled her a few times, then grabbed her by the throat and slammed her back-first into the ground. Lifting her off the ground to look her in the eye, Kratos threw a punch at Diana's face, knocking her to the floor again.

Diana tried to get up as Kratos seemed to somewhat calm himself. Without his axe or his shield, there were only two more weapons he could use, ones that served him well in old days. Kratos reached behind him as Diana rematerialized her sword and charged at him. Her sword, however, were blocked by a pair of blades forming an X-shape. The Blades of Chaos. Pushing Diana back, Kratos swung his blades at the Themysciran as she fought with her sword. Kratos hooked the Blades of Chaos into his opponent, then turned around and uses their lengthy chains to sling her away. Kratos then rapidly spun the blades around himself, but Diana jumped over his attack, landing behind him. Turning to face Diana, Kratos sent his blades forward and slammed them together, creating a large explosion that knocked Diana back.

Kratos followed up with a rapid spin attack that ended with a slam, sending Diana into the air. Diana managed to right herself and flew upward before coming down towards Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta jumping back as her fist impacted the ground. Diana threw a few punches at Kratos, but he dodged the blows and punched her in the face, then started slashing her with his blades before kicking her back. Kratos launched his blades at Diana's chest, but Diana grabbed both blades before they could impale through her. The Spartan sweat dropped as Diana pulled him in, then knocked him back with a punch. She flew toward him and punched him several more times, pushing him further back, then knocked him down with a roundhouse kick.

She swung her sword down at Kratos, but the father of Atreus managed to roll away and get up, throwing a punch at Diana's face. Diana blocked a second punch from Kratos and stabbed her sword through his shoulder, making him shout in pain. She slashed at Kratos repeatedly, forming red lines across his body as he groaned with each hit. Diana then flew past Kratos various times, each time striking him with her sword before throwing a powerful uppercut that sent Kratos flying into the sky. Then, Diana flew towards him and grabbed him in mid-air, spun him around various times, and finally threws them into the ground, leaving him in a crater.

Kratos weakly got to his feet as Diana landed behind him, holding her sword. She thrust it froward, and Kratos bent back, yelping in pain as blood splattered onto the ground. Pulling her sword from Kratos' body, Diana let him stumble forward while holding his wound until he fell onto his front. Diana walked over to him and pushed him onto his back with her foot, planting it firmly on his chest to keep him down.

"I told you," she said, standing over him. "You were no match for an Amazon."

Kratos valiantly lifted his head off the ground, trying to push himself up. Unable to escape, he could only watch as Diana brought her sword down and stabbed through his body one more time. Drawing his last breath, Kratos looked up at Diana until he slipped away as the Amazon pulled her sword out of his chest. Removing her boot from Kratos' body, Diana observed him for a moment longer before leaving the God of War to lie alone and lifeless.

**FATALITY!**

## Results

**MBStarscream: Hold on, God of War fanboys! Torches and pitchforks down, okay? Just let us explain this one.**

Hiro: These two were extremely powerful warriors, but in the end, Wonder Woman was the better of the two demigods, being leagues above Kratos in several ways.

**MBStarscream: Kratos may have moved a million ton bridge and overpowered Atlas, who holds up the whole planet, but Diana has helped move the Earth and helped move Spectre, who is literally made of eternity. And while Kratos is fast enough to keep up with the Valkyries, Diana keeping up with Zoom, blocking trillions and trillions of shards across the universe and moving the moon across dimensions easily blows that out of the water.**

Hiro: Diana's vastly superior durability meant that she could take any blunt attack Kratos threw at her, and living for thousands of years longer than him gave her a considerable edge in experience. And while Kratos had a large arsenal of of weapons and magic, they were less impressive than that of Diana's, especially considering her sword is able to move between atoms and their bonds.

**MBStarscream: When comparing their enemies, the Greek and Norse Gods are pretty tough on their own, but Diana has seen OP dudes like Superman, Darkseid, Doomsday, etc, so we can certainly say that she's used to enemies far stronger than anyone's Kratos has gone up against. Diana's true divine nature and Spartan Rage were both effective super-modes for these combatants, but even a bloodlusted Kratos can't compete with Diana when her bracelets are off, seeing as how she physically beat Firstborn, a monstrous being able to destroy the Underworld, an infinite plane of reality.**

Hiro: Kratos, while not without his strengths, would put up a good fight against Wonder Woman, but in the end, the much wider gap in their physical ability, experience and overall quality of their weapons would ensure that would be all he could give Diana before he was bested.

**MBStarscream: It's really no Wonder Kratos couldn't win this godly fight.**

Hiro: Wonder Woman wins.
