TWO FIGHTERS!
NO RESEARCH!
60 SECONDS!
MELEE!
Fight[]
Out over the grassy hills, it was raining. Gray storm clouds hovered overhead as the various animals about went off to hide. However, not all would hide. Among the hills were the sounds of fists upon metal. Out in the middle of a patch of woods was a massive ogre, swinging an arm down to his opponent! However, the fighter was able to bring up an arm, a shield unfolding over it to parry the blow! And the wielder was a muscular man with ash-pale skin, bearing red marks over his face and arm. He also wore a metallic pauldron, thick grieves, a massive beard, and an axe in one hand. This was a man known as Kratos. And having beaten the beast back, he proceeded to hurl his weapon into the foe's chest!
And with him knocked back and in pain, Kratos leapt forwards onto the beast's collarbone. And once up, he rose his hand, the axe in the beast's chest flying up to his hand, before he, with a mighty roar, chopped down! He slammed the axe down hard enough to generate a shockwave as the ogre fell with his head rended to pieces! Kratos looked over the fallen beast, before taking a breath. He put his axe on his back and continued onwards through the hills. He chose to enjoy the silence and took a moment to meditate, when he heard a strange rustling through the air. Already he could feel his fighting instincts begin to flare up again.
???: For someone trying not to be found, you sure do make a lot of noise....
Kratos turned his head towards the source of the voice. And above him, he'd see a muscular man wearing a skintight white suit, bearing red highlights over his legs, arms, and chest, and a flowing red cape. He also bore a thick moustache, and black hair with streaks of white. He flaoted down with his arms crossed and a judgemental expression that seemed all too common on his face. This was the fake hero known as Omni-Man.
Omni-Man: ...Ghost of Sparta.
Kratos kept up a steely expression, already feeling a threatening vibe from this man. Omni-Man finally touched down to stand before him.
Kratos: What brings you here?
Omni-Man: I came near that town over there, and it turns out you left a bit of an impression. So, I decided to look into you a little bit...
He began pacing, with Kratos continuing to stare him down.
Omni-Man: On the one hand, you are a powerful warrior that helped stamp out the All-Father... On the other hand, you've brought nearly immeasurable levels of destruction to where you originated from...
Kratos scowled as he listed out his past.
Kratos: Explain what you are getting at...
Omni-Man: What I mean to say is... I know a thing or two about being two-faced. Something is coming, and I wanted to confirm what exactly you are to this world: a savior, or a destroyer?
Kratos: ...To allies, I am a protector. To enemies, I am a killer. You are free to decide who you are in this moment.
Omni-Man: ...Then allow me to figure you out.
The viltrumite sudden dashed forwards, appearing before Kratos in the blink of an eye with an arm raised! The Spartan, however, was able to bring his shield up to collide with the attacker's punch, stopping it and generating a shockwave from the point of impact! His glare only hardened as he realized he'd need to face this man down.
Leave the past behind! FIGHT[]
- 60
Kratos swung his shield to knock Omni-Man's arm away, before rushing forwards to deliver a punch across the super person's chest! He swung his other arm to slug him across with his shield. And he went for a backhanded strike, when Omni-Man was able to bring his hand up to grab it. He threw that arm to the side to break Kratos's guard, before thrusting forwards with a straight hit, knocking the Spartan back several feet while he dug his feet into the ground. As he was knocked back, Omni-Man suddenly hurled himself forwards for a flying tackle! Kratos grunted as he was slammed into, though he was able to maintain his footing and even grasp Omni-Man's shoulders.
He then twisted around while keeping his grip on the man in white, before hurling Nolan down into the ground to drag him across the ground as well! He too dug a ridge through the ground, but Omni-Man proceeded to pull his legs back before kicking him up and off of him! Kratos twirled through the air while Omni-Man leapt up to try and meet him. He reared up ready for a spike, but Kratos was able to reorient himself and swing his axe out! Omni-Man was forced on the defensive and brought his arms down! The blade bit into his forearms hard, and managed to drive him and Kratos apart! The Ghost of Sparta was able to touch down, at which point he'd rear his arm back before swinging forwards to hurl the weapon at him!
Omni-Man was able to swat Leviathan away, before dashing forwards at him! Omni-Man swung for a hook that Kratos was able to backstep away from. He'd go for a straight punch that Kratos defended against, before he went for a punch of his own. The two would exchange punches and blocks while Leviathan flew in from behind Omni-Man. The viltrumite would be surprised as the axe struck him from behind, setting him up for a powerful punch straight to the side of the head from Kratos! Omni-Man was sent back several feet while Kratos was able to reclaim his axe. Omni-Man flew back before finally stopping beside another patch of trees and the side of one of the mountains in this area.

Thus, Omni-Man grappled a nearby tree and tugged it up, uprooting it. He reared back for a javelin through, before hurling it towards Kratos! The tree would be tossed at him surprisingly fast, and Kratos would be pounded by the chunk of wood! The warrior grunted as he was knocked back, and seeing the opening, Omni-Man began dashing towards him! Kratos was able to shake the cobwebs out of his head, when he noticed Nolan coming for him! The Spartan dug his hands into the ground and grunted with effort as he tugged a chunk of earth from the ground! And when Omni-Man came close enough, he'd pivot around, and swing the chunk into Omni-Man, practically striking him with a homerun hit!
Omni-Man was sent flying back, and Kratos would dash after him before leaping up after him. While midair, the Spartan brought his axe up before aiming down at him, and firing a chilling beam at him! Omni-Man was left exposed to the beam, and he began to be rapidly coated in ice, stopping him from preparing to fly away! And while he was frozen up, Kratos brought his axe up as he descended towards him, before chopping down towards his chest! But Omni-Man was able to break free and bring his hands together to catch the blade! While he caught him, Omni-Man gave a grunt of effort as he spun around to hurl Kratos away and down towards the earth below! The God of War drove a rut through the soil, and before he could recover, Omni-Man suddenly flew downwards, feet first, and slammed straight into Kratos's chest, driving him further!
Omni-Man flew up before descending down with a double fisted strike! Only this time, Kratos was able to clutch his axe tightly before swinging up hard enough to drive that axe directly into the viltrumite's chest! And while he was surprised by the sudden strike, Kratos climbed out of the rut and now swapped for another weapon, bringing out a pair of swords that were attached to his wrists via chains. These were the Blades of Chaos. He brought one hand back, before hurling forwards, sending a fiery blade up and stabbing it into Omni-Man's abdomen! He grunted as the blade met his flesh, and Kratos gripped the chain before swinging down to yank Nolan from the air and down into the earth!

A cloud of dust was kicked up from the impact, and Kratos was only allowed a moment of reprieve when he felt his chain suddenly go taut. The Ghost of Sparta grunted as he was yanked off his feet and towards the dust cloud, and when he got too close, Omni-Man reared a fist back before delivering a powerful punch to Kratos's face! The blow was enough to hurl the Spartan backwards, though now, Omni-Man plucked the Blade of Chaos from his chest while holding the handle firmly, before yanking firmly! Kratos's direction was reversed and he was sent back towards Omni-Man, who brought an arm out, grabbed Kratos by the throat, and, without losing momentum, delivered a chokeslam that kicked up more dust!
The Spartan would be winded from the blow, at which the viltrumite would keep his grip on the God of War and lift him up just by his throat, holding him aloft while clutching him tightly. Kratos could feel the tightening pressure on him, and he could feel his fighting instincts flare. He thus reared one hand back before shoving forwards to deliver a flaming stab straight into Omni-Man's stomach! This caused Nolan to wince and his grip to lessen, which allowed Kratos to bring his other hand up to yank him off. He twisted Omni-Man's arm down before pulling his Blade of Chaos out, and then swinging sideways! Omni-Man pulled back just enough to get a cut across his cheek, and while he was stumbling, Kratos released his grip on his arm before yanking both blades to him, and then, with a loud grunt, swinging in a fiery, X-shape attack to drive Omni-Man back!
And while he was knocked back, Kratos proceeded to lunge at him while spinning, extending his Blades of Chaos out to deliver a tornado of slicing death! Omni-Man would be nipped several times and brought his arms up to defend himself as he flew backwards to avoid getting fully sliced up. He then decided to leap up in order to get a better angle at Kratos's blindspot, but the Spartan was able to stop his spin and thus flung his blades up. Omni-Man was able to catch the blades this time, when Kratos yanked himself towards Nolan to deliver a powerful kick past his defenses! And as Omni-Man grunted out in pain, he'd manage to work up enough focus to rear a fist back, and punch down to spike Kratos off of him and into the earth below!

Kratos tumbled through the air before flipping around and landing on his feet. Omni-Man would descend down and begin rapidly dashing at him, though Kratos would draw an ornate spear, the Draupnir Spear. He reared his weapon back before hurling it forwards! Nolan would respond by slowing down and snapping his hand in front of himself in order to grab the weapon, stopping its head mere inches from his face. However, the spear vanished, leaving behind a head while the weapon fully manifested in Kratos's hand. He slammed the butt of his spear against ground, and the head Omni-Man was holding suddenly exploded in his face!
The viltrumite was surprised by the sudden attack, which gave Kratos time to exchange his spear for his Leviathan Axe, which he hurled forwards while racing at the alien. The weapon embedded itself into Omni-Man's chest once again. Kratos leapt up and lifted a hand to recall that weapon to him, at which he attempted to swing it down upon the former conqueror! However, Omni-Man was able to bring a hand up to catch the weapon, although the force of the God of War's swing brought them both down to the ground. The two held their stance, with Kratos feeling Omni-Man trying to wrench that axe from his grip while he was trying to direct the blade into his enemy. Omni-Man brought his other hand up to clutch the axe, and they kept on trying to overpower the other, with cracks forming in the ground.
They continued to fight as the very earth itself seemed to split form their struggle. They continued to wrestle against each other, when Omni-Man finally tensed, and suddenly launched himself upwards while still holding Kratos's axe! The Spartan found himself whisked skyward, when the viltrumite spun around, and finally released his grip on that axe to hurl the Ghost of Sparta away! As he flew away, however, Kratos would manage to swap out for his Blades of Chaos, and hurled one at Omni-Man's arm, managing to stab into it. Nolan would only be allowed a brief moment to glance at it, before the force of the Spartan he threw suddenly yanked him along with.

The two were sent hurtling through the air, when Kratos slammed his feet into the ground hard enough to drag a rut through it as well. He held firm and swung to the side to hurl Omni-Man down to the ground, slamming him into it and causing him to skip across the ground like a stone across a pond! Now that there was distance again, Kratos would swap his blades out for the Draupnir Spear, though Nolan was quick to dash after him. Kratos brought his spear up in a defensive position, and the two found themselves in yet another contest of strength as they pushed against each other, the shaft of the spear squeezed between both of their hands!
They pushed some more, when Kratos suddenly pulled to make Omni-Man stumble. And now that he was off balance, Kratos suddenly swung the butt of his spear up to land a solid blow into his mouth and nose! This earned a burst of blood from the viltrumite, and while he stumbled back, Kratos swung again, this time against his chest to drive him back. And then he pivoted around and delivered a trio of stabs! Omni-Man took the first two, but he was able to dip back before the three. However, he now noticed that his abdomen had two spearheads embedded into it. He recognized this, and saw Kratos bringing that spear up in preparation. So, he dashed forwards and grabbed behind Kratos's back with one hand, and held the spear with the other. The Ghost of Sparta was surprised, and would only be able to connect the dots too late.
Omni-Man snapped the spear down to clack its butt against the ground, causing the spearheads to explode on both Omni-Man and Kratos! Both muscular warriors were blown back, and both were looking worse for wear. They huffed and puffed and glared the other down, either man covered in wounds from battle, and the battlefield they were in looking nearly unrecognizable. They began to trudge forwards, feeling like it was time to end this. Thus, both of them roared defiantly, with Kratos seeming to glow with the rage of his warrior roots!
- 10
The two rushed at each other and both swung their fists, colliding hard enough to rock the battlefield once again! They swung and swung in a massive melee, seeming to disregard defense as they struck out at whatever parts of the other's body they could reach! Kratos slammed his chest, Omni-Man battered his arm, Kratos beat his leg, Omni-Man beat his jaw... They continued to pummel each other, spilling more and more blood and causing each other's body to crack and shudder! The viltrumite's superhuman body was barely holding together, and the Ghost of Sparta's body was being hastily sutured together by the flames of his wrath! Eventually, the flurry of punches would culminate in the two rearing back, and delivering a straight punch to the other's head, one that finally seemed to even out the steadily-forming crater that was resulting from their melee!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment... when Omni-Man began to spit up blood!
- 5
Nolan stumbled forwards while Kratos stepped back, him now bringing his hands to his side, before drawing one final weapon.
- 4
He drew a golden greatsword with a sharp hilt, a screaming face set at the hilt, and a glimmering blue edge. Kratos had just drawn the Blade of Olympus! With the mighty blade in hand, he rushed at Omni-Man for a stab!
- 3
Omni-Man brought his hands down to grab around the blade in order to stop it, though the force of the charge would cause him to skid back!
- 2
He could feel Kratos's wrath steadily overpower his defense! Thus, he swung his arms to the side to direct the blade down into the ground instead!
- 1
Omni-Man reared back for one more punch, aiming straight for Kratos's center of mass... when the Ghost of Sparta was able to use the last of his wrath-induced strength to yank the blade up, delivering a vertical slice up through the Viltrumite's body, producing a shower of blood!
- KO
Omni-Man gasped out in pain and stumbled back, before falling onto his back as his strength finally gave out! Kratos felt his wrath finally subside, and thus he aimed the tip of his blade down and stabbed it into the ground to let it rest.
Kratos: ...Was it worth it?
Omni-Man: ...I am satisfied.
The viltrumite sighed and laid back while Kratos stepped closer.
Kratos: What was the meaning of this?
Omni-Man: ...Some dangerous men are coming to this world...
Nolan took a haggard breath and took a heavy gulp.
Omni-Man: I have two kids here, and I wanted to see if you'd be someone that could look over them.
Hearing that caused Kratos's eyes to widen.
Kratos: ...I shall see to it... I'll see if I can send someone for you as well.
Omni-Man: I don't think so.
Kratos: What?
Omni-Man: I'm a great conqueror, but I don't know if I can really be more than that. Just leave me here.
Kratos stared down at the man as a strange look of familiarity filled his own eyes, and he watched this conqueror lose consciousness. The Ghost of Sparta took in a deep breath and turned, picking up his sword and putting it away, before marching onwards.
Conclusion[]
This melee's winner is...
Kratos!
