Major Snafu
Upon hearing that his master Ares was killed by a Spartan warrior, Astaroth is furious. On top of that, Kunpaetku, his creator, had double-crossed him in wanting Soul Edge for himself.
The axe-wielding golem slayed his former master, and in the process, destroyed the cult order Fygul Cestemus before setting out to find the Spartan warrior, now the new God of War.
Kratos is at Thermoplaye, visiting a memorial set up in memory of the 300 Spartans and 7000 Greeks who died at the infamous battle against the Persian army (Kratos is an admirer of the Spartan king Leonidas, the Spartan King who died there).
In a rare moment of peace, he forgets his past as he takes in the sight of the battlefield. Soon, his Spartan army will begin to lay siege to Rhodes and he will be there to put on the final touch on the invasion.
Before he can do that, he is attacked by Astaroth. Despite beeing a god, Kratos is sledgehammered into the side of the mountain pass. His body infused with the shards of Soul Edge, Astaroth is more than a match for Kratos.
"A servant of Ares," Kratos growls as he pulls out the Blades of Athena from his back. "You are not human. No matter." He hops back to avoid an overhead swing from Astaroth. "I will rip you to pieces!" Kratos yells as he charges at the golem.
Kratos has only Athena's Blades. No magic, just all his skills.
