The Final Battle meme

It's been a long road. Your adventure, your journey is finally coming to an end. But, before that, you just have one more thing to wrap up. Before that, you need to defeat the Big Bad; the final boss. Only after they're defeated can you clearly say that you've won, and your journey can FINALLY be finished.

How to Play:
1) Post, you know this part of the drill.
2) Either the poster or the replier may be the final boss! It's up to you.
3) Final Round! Ready? Fight!

And if you need it, here's some scenarios for you.

1) Platforming Boss:- All your running and jumping skills have really paid off! You've even probably done some puzzle solving and have powered up quite a bit. But now, you have to be exhausted. One life left, no continues, but on the bright side, you have a full life bar. Unfortunately, here comes the final boss of the game! Maybe they take 8 hits, or 10 hits, but either way, get ready for the end!
2) Adventure Boss:- An epic adventure, but there's just one thing standing between you and your treasure or your goal. Maybe it's a rival of yours, or the evil enemy you've been trying to keep from getting there first.
3) Fighting Game Boss:- After fighting seven other people and even a midboss, you're now staring down the final fight. The guy at the top of the tournament. The boss in charge. Are they an SNK boss? An MK Walker? THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
4) RPG Boss:- You know how at the end of a lot of RPGs you and the end boss just have a one on one epic LIMIT BREAK VS. LIMIT BREAK MOST POWERFUL MOVE VS. MOST POWERFUL MOVE battle? Yeah, that's what this is. No, you don't get EXP for winning this one.
5) Puzzle Boss:- Someone's been threatening your land and you're finally confronting them. How are you going to stop them? A good ol' game of Tetris. Or maybe something else. Whatever floats your boat.
6) Monster Battlin' Boss:- No, you weren't the one who fought their way here. Be it a team of Pokemon, or monsters you've been able to summon, you and this boss aren't going to fight directly. Instead, you're going to command your monsters to the final showdown between you and them. Can you two (or more) pull it off?
7) Misc. Boss:- The finals of a card game tournament? Maybe the final game of 1 on 1 basketball to save the rec center? The World Champion Boxer/Wrestler? A huge robot that you have to go through an obstacle course to fight in only a truck? Something else I may have forgotten? There's only one way to win, and it's to go at it head on. So get to it.

[Also volunteering to play the part of the boss if you'd like to go that route.]

It's been a long, hard road against the mass of unruly demons. Perhaps mistakenly, Elazul thinks Valvatorez to be the source of the problems. He brandishes his blade at him, looking all sorts of confident (never mind that half of them had been weakling prinnies in terms of stats.)

"You're the one sending those demons to attack my clan, aren't you?! Prepare to fall by my hand!"

And watch out for his invincibility frames that extend a few seconds before, during, and after his special attacks. But for now, here he comes charging!

You know how the 'story mode' of most fighting games usually boils down to a series of misunderstandings before any actual story development to pad out the mode? Yeah... On the other hand, the programmers of this game either didn't extensively test Valvatorez's capabilities against an actual human opponent, or they intentionally made him as ridiculously broken as he is. Either way, Elazul is in for a hell of a fight.

The Tyrant turns his attention to the comparatively young man, cloak flaring slightly as he whirls. "Me, sending demons to do my dirty work? I would never do something so cowardly!" He scoffs, dramatically jabbing a finger in Elazul's direction. However, his opponent doesn't seem to be in a listening mood, so Valvatorez wastes no time in drawing his own sword, switching to a blocking stance.

Things of note: he restores health with all but his strongest special attack, and hits HARD.

He's in for one hell of a fight, and Elazul is very likely to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter. He may have a friend who subdued a sorrow-maddened goddess, but that was his friend, not him.

His sword crashes against Valvatorez's, his crystallized right arm expertly using it as if it was was made of flesh, blood, and nerve endings. He strikes like a berserker, all for power and speed while sacrificing defense, which is likely unwise due to the gaping weakness in the center of his chest. Fortunately or unfortunately, it probably only looks like a weird piece of hand-sized jewelry, and doesn't move at all.

Perhaps sadly, if Valvatorez's restorative attacks are from blood, Elazul doesn't taste like a sardine.

And Tyrant Valvatorez doesn't give a shit about sardines, so there's that.

The vampire keeps on the defensive as his opponent continues his assault, never once backing down until Elazul's attack animation has gone into recovery frames before striking back (almost like the CPU has inhuman reflexes and is reading the button presses or something...) with a few weak slashes to build up the special gauge, and then--

"BLOOD STING!"

The special attack hits. He feels the attacks narrowly missing his core. It feels like a long time for him before he staggers back upright. His own special gauge, due to the massive damage, is full.

Heedless to his own wounds, he charges in again, slashing, and right when his animation goes into recovery, he activates Laser Blade.

The energy surges around him, starting up an invincibility animation. Better move before it lands!

Well, not that he would do a lot of damage by comparison.

{Edited again to add... I like that icon of his right there. *w*}}

On the contrary, Valvatorez continues attacking during the invincibility frames--not to do damage, mind you, but to build up his special gauge. At the last possible frame, he blocks, and though he does take the attack, the damage is mitigated by the guard. This leaves him still with a comfortable 3/4 of his health bar, and a near-full special gauge for taking the attack. Not quite enough for his strongest attack, but that would easily be remedied. Let's just get a few more slashes in during that recovery/invincibility phase to fill it up the rest of the way, and...

"This is total domination!"

((Why thank you. I'm quite fond of it, myself.))

Welp. The testers need to go back and fix this, because Elazul's lucky that the power of the attack hasn't utterly shattered his core. He's lucky that, somehow, it's gotten away with only minimal damage. Still hurts like he-- the underworld. It's his heart, after all.

His attack is also supposed to be unblockable unless by other invincibility frames.

He has been completely dominated without so much as scratching the guy, really.

"D--damn...!" he rasps, trying to get back up and clutching his flesh hand over his aching core. Thankfully, the injuries aren't enough to cause it to crack. He'll live. "You're... stronger than even the Mana Goddess...."

The Tyrant crosses his arms beneath his cloak and closes his eyes, his own sword outright vanishing into thin air.

"I don't know who that is, but this could have been avoided, you realize, if you'd listened to me to begin with. I would never be so cowardly as to send underlings to do do my dirty work. As a proud and noble demon, I have more pride than that."

After-battle victory speech?

"Ugh... So you haven't been sending weird penguins with peg-legs that say "dood" to bomb us?"

No shit Sherlock, listen with your ears, Elazul. But, okay, he gets up, staggers, and... manages to stay standing. Ow. He shakes his head, bringing his crystallized hand up to rub his forehead.

But he's not going to complain since he came at him with the intent to kill him. Would be pretty stupid to retort with 'you could have killed me, how dare you!'

"I was informed that this place is where their leader was hiding." They must have been lying....

Be patient, Valvatorez - he'll apologize for this fiasco. He's not as stupid as he used to be before the time he died (and was resurrected by the power of compassion that transcended species. No, really.) He's just reeling from massive chest scratches, ow.

"Prinnies? No, that has nothing to do with me." That sounds more like Etna's thing, tbh. Not that he knows who Etna is.

"Well, I'm the only one around here with any power. The real leader must be elsewhere."

...So he was duped by some moron, and attacked a guy that didn't even deserve it. Scowling, he bows his head. Demon or no, the artificer had taught him that people were people, regardless of race.

"As a Knight of the Jumi, I humbly apologize for my reckless assault. This won't happen again."

He didn't expect his apology to be accepted, but all the same. Further still, he'd inform the others that this man was certainly not to be trifled with.

Perhaps, instead, they could become allies, but he didn't count on that, either. Even so, this demon was so strong, he wasn't even sure that he got a thrill out of the battle at all. Equal matches were far more fun.

[He'd probably be the player character, but he'd work as the final boss of a fighting game!]

Figures you would be the one to make it to the top.

[Yusuke enters the fighting ring, cracking his knuckles and moving his head around, lessening the stiffness on his neck.]

Thank god, I was hoping for a real fight after all those other guys!

[Goku's like a kid in a candy store at this point - there have been a lot of strong fighters in this place, and he's been looking forward to finding out who'd be in the finals. Yusuke was certainly someone who he'd kept an eye on - it's not all that often that he sees someone who's so strong at such a young age.]

Well, I hope I'll give you one! [That's a bit of an understatement, but Goku tends to be fairly modest.] Man, this is gonna be great!

[And after hearing the bell and the announcer give the okay, Yusuke smirked at Goku before moving forward, rushign at him and ready to throw the first punch. The tournament final had now begun!]

[OTA. 1, 2, 3, 4, if Trixie's boss, will be using an icon mule.]

( This contest isn't anything new to these two. It's a contest of who can show off better. Round 2! )

[Trixie starts of small, summoning both a storm cloud and a bouquet of flowers. She tosses the Bouquet of flowers up into the air and has the lightning strike the flowers to show off her accuracy.

Also it's funny how an Earth Pony challenged her to a magic duel. Sans magic and more showoff.]

( If we're going with accuracy, Applejack is gonna use a lasso with her tail to get a paint brush and paint a tiny red X on the ground. Afterward she just lasso's a few apples, very appropriately, and has each of them neatly land on the target... on top of each other. )

[So it's going to be like that, huh? Trixie grasps all the apples and brings them over to to where she's standing right now. She backs up a little from the red X and tosses the apples one by one over to it. While the apples are in the air, Trixie gets complicated.

Each time an apple passes under the storm cloud, lighting strikes it and Trixie summons a puff of smoke to engulf it, dismisses the apple, summons a slice of apple pie, grasps it with her magic, and makes it look like momentum is still doing it's work.

Casting spells that fast was difficult for Trixie, but somehow, she managed to do it. And somehow, the apple pies land on the red X, but they're a little wobbly.]

[ ooc: Better as a Boss Character... Pass the Puzzles, Maneuver the Maze, Beat the Boss, Look out for Lemons... and cake. ]

[The unicorn had just appeared outside of Aperture one day. The scientists had no idea where he had come from, but if they had asked, the unicorn would have told them that he had gotten lost in the Wild Magic and had ended up here.

It took a bit for the scientists to capture him, the unicorn was able to teleport, and had eluded their grasp until someone threw a net over him and tangled him up.

And thus began the long years of testing.

At first, he was used as a guinea pig for their products. One of the successful ones was a device that translated his speech into English. However, they kept it muted, because nearly every word that came out of it was him asking to be set free.

Eventually, they started focusing on his teleporting powers. They made contraptions that mimicked his abilities and called the first of them the "Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device".

The scientists made tests that the unicorn would go through first, then someone else would attempt to do the same test with the Quantum Tunneling Device.

After several years of these tests, one day, the scientists slipped up and the unicorn managed to escape the testing track.

He galloped through the hallways, evading the scientists trying to capture him, until finally he reached Cave Johnson.

The unicorn stood in front of the founder of Aperture Science. He used the translator to speak to Cave.]

Are you the one responsible for me being held prisoner all these years?

[Cave only blinked at the bizarre beast for a moment before yelling over his shoulder, possibly to the lab boys he tended to bully and pile blame on.]

Did we have a program testing tie-die horses and unicorn creation?

[The unicorn snorts.]

Yes, you did. You've been forcing me do strange things for years.

[He tilts his head.] I believe it was said to be in the name of 'science'.

Edited 2012-12-28 05:28 (UTC)

Well of course it's for Science! What else would it be for?

[Cave crossed his arms, glaring up at the preposterously pink pony... horse... unicorn thing...]

Listen, if you're pissed, I can understand.

If you want to kill me, I get that too, however! It aint gonna solve anything...

So here's the deal...

[Cave suddenly stops the floor with great force. From a hidden panel in the ceiling a Portal Gun drops into his hands.]

Game of tag. Winner goes home... Loser... well also goes home, but with considerably less pride than the winner. AGREED?!

[The unicorn gives a single nod in agreement, at this point, he doesn't have anything to lose, and a chance to finally go home and get out of this crazy place is too good to pass up.

He recognizes the Portal Gun, he's seen several different models over the years, this one is one of the most recent ones.]

Agreed.

[He's not one for much talking and the sooner this thing starts, the sooner he can leave.]

[Before the translator can even finish the synthesized sentence Cave flails his portal device about and suddenly drops through the floor... or rather the portal in the floor... and comes flying out of a portal in the wall directly beside the pony.

The resulting inertia becomes a Cave Johnson drop kick to the flank.]

Tag!

[Unfortunately gravity kicks in and Cave slams into the floor. A confused scramble later he's on his feet and scampering down the hall, Portal gun already setting up another escape.]

AWAY!!

Edited 2012-12-29 04:59 (UTC)

[The unicorn is surprised by the sudden aggressive tag, he wasn't expecting the game to begin right away.

It takes him a moment to recover, and with a shake of his head and a snort, his jewel-like horn glows pink and he teleports to stand several feet in front of Cave.

He's not sure where Cave's portals are placed, but he's hoping that Cave won't have enough time to react to his sudden appearance.]

[Cave smacks into and actually rebounds off the unicorn. The genuinely shocked expression disappears with a brisk shake of the head, Cave's macho grin quickly coming back into play.]

Well played...

[The Portal Gun pops once more and as he falls through Cave takes a swipe at the horses foreleg. He crows in triumph.]

TAG!

[The exit portal is actually a beta portal generating wall within a test chamber directly below them. Cave's gamble on it being within range has proven a good one.]

[Once Cave bounces off of him, the unicorn raises his head in triumph.]

Tag!

[But, his joy is short-lived when Cave tags him in return. He snorts and stomps a hoof in irritation.

He looks around the hallway and waits a few moments for Cave to pop out of somewhere else, when he doesn't, the unicorn sticks his head through the portal and tries to locate Cave within the test chamber before jumping or teleporting through.]

[Cave slides through the test chamber door and begins weaving his way down a complicated hallway and stairway, feet pounding across the specialized, super tested and top secret synthesized material.]

[With an almost comical and dramatic slide, he skids to a stop in front of a particularly heavy duty test chamber door. As he straightens, his eyes glaze over a name plate to the right of the door.]

RPL Test chamber...

[An eager and mischievous smile curls on his lips.]

[The unicorn spends several moments looking around the test chamber, and when Cave is nowhere to be fine, he teleports into the room and starts making his way towards the door, listening for any hints as to Cave's location.

Since there's nowhere else for him to go, the unicorn exits the testing room and continues searching for the man who had challenged him to a game.]

Edited (Sorry about that, kept finding errors!) 2013-01-02 22:59 (UTC)

[Cave springs inside an operations booth. He waits for the sound of hooves to come close and when they do, he slams his hand down on a big red button.]

[In the chamber Riotous Pummeling Lemon Launchers activate, popping out of wall and floor alike. As per usual they scan the floor, back and forth, in an automated fashion, from the entrance to the exit. A straight line unison scan that couldn't possibly be faulty. Hardly...]

[The unicorn is surprised by the Riotous Pummeling Lemon Launchers suddenly appearing out of nowhere. He stumbles several feet backwards before calming down and getting steady footing.

He leans his head in closer, trying to figure out what these strange objects were. He's staying a good distance away from them, but now he's pacing back and forth, trying to see if there's a safe way to teleport past them and straight to the door.]

[Cave grabs a nearby telephone and jabs the little intercom button.]

Alright pony boy! We don't got all day! You want out? You're going to have to tag me within the next 3 minutes.

[He pauses and then taps a few keys on the console. Lights begin flashing in a rather aggressive fashion, reds and whites cascading across the displays.]

2 minutes of you want to avoid the napalm ammo. Believe me, concussions and hearing damage are nothing compared to skin grafts and the smell of burnt flesh...

[The unicorn was surprised by the sudden voice over the intercom, but he listens carefully to the words spoken.

He definitely doesn't want to get caught by the napalm, so he quickly teleports over to where the door on the opposite side of the room is.

From there, he starts trying to figure out where Cave went. First, he's going to gallop over to the right and see if he can find anything over there.

His time is rapidly running out, so he's going to put what's left to use.]

[Matrix!powers are go because duh.]

{Preferences for 3, 4, 6 or 7. If you're fighting him via 3 or 4, beware: he has invincibility frames when using special attacks!}}

[Ralph can be either the fighter or the final boss. If he's the boss, scenarios 1 and 7 would fit his role in Fix-It Felix Jr. the best, but any of the others could be fine, too.]

[Works best with a 3, 4, or possibly 6. Maybe even 7 if you're feeling creative.]

[ Works best as the final boss. ]

Valvatorez! :D~ 3-ish. Prose for now, but I can switch to action tags if you want.

Prose works just fine for me.

<3~

The computer is a cheating bastard, indeed.

Ahahaha, oh god. His HP doesn't even go that high!

He's this fighting game's bonus boss from He-- the Netherworld.

XDDDD~!!

And of course when you finally unlock him he'll be missing half his moveset.

A minor inconvenience. Mm. I plan on getting a PSN card, so I'll probably snatch that up. :D

Go for it. It's hilariously homoerotic.

Sweeet. :D I love it already and I haven't even played any of the DLC!
