The Boss Fight/Final Confrontation Meme

Something something, gonna have a bad time, etc

So it's come down to this: Maybe you've always been foes. Maybe you used to be allies. Hell, maybe you've never met face to face. But regardless- this person is all that stands between you and your goals, your happy ending or maybe even your most precious person. There's no going back, a confrontation is immanent.

Everyone's wanted to have an IC excuse be the big bad guy, to flex all their powers with no hesitation. To be the Final Boss! This is your chance to go nuts and unleash your inner badass.

Of course not all battles are violent. ~~Undertale~~ Many games have battles of a different sort: maybe you're the Mastermind behind a Dangan Ronpa style trial and your mystery has to be solved or everyone dies? Or maybe your enemy is a rival Pokemon Trainer? The point is that you can't end this without SOME kind of clash of wills.

Good Luck.

Guidelines:

- Any AUs, settings, or set ups are allowed! Use your characters' canon powers or make new ones out of whole cloth. Feel free to twist your characters motivations a little if they just aren't the Big Bad type... or just tag others as the Hero. What's a game without a Protagonist, after all?

- Regardless, remember the Golden Rule. Pulling out powers that might upset someone or godmode is no fun. When in doubt, ask!

- Top Levels are the Big Bad! If you don't have a character that you can fit into such a role it's fine, but ONLY TAG INTO TOP LEVELS. Don't throw up a top level looking for villains to come to you. Remember: regardless of the meme's over the top wording, the antagonist is not always a bad person, they are just someone with opposing goals.

- While it's not required, a little blurb about what scenarios you are most interested or even an idea of your abilities might be helpful!

- ... Boss Battle music is also not required, but encouraged.

Upupupu! All you had to do was ask, Yosuke-kun!

[ never let it be said that Junko doesn't know how to make an entrance. The cackling bear at the head of the courtroom explodes into a smokescreen that's tinted in an acrid shade of yellow -- a nice little callback to all that fog in the TV World, she's so very glad she'd gotten that little detail out of him before he'd run off like a sissy.

When it finally clears, she kicks the now-empty Monokuma aside and throws herself into the throne he'd been occupying, with a grin on her face that could only be described as being shit eating. Even her voice is full of mocking contempt, with the kind of regal tone befitting a queen. ]

Never let it be said that I would refuse an audience with one of my beloved subjects! Even if I can hardly call you faithful anymore, you filthy knave.

...Enoshima... no, that's impossible! You're dead, we all watched you die!

[His entire body trembles- she had been a very early victim, but... well... he had liked her. A lot. And connection her and the voice that had owned him for so long, that had been JUST sympathetic enough to weasel every little secret and confession from him

(after all, he had no one else. Everyone was dead or Shadows or gone and left them all behind to die OR-)

makes him shudder in revoltion.]

Well, that's hardly the case, is it? If it were, I wouldn't be standing here in front of you right now.

[ where did those glasses come from. either way she's adjusting them now and a sharp gleam of light passes over them, shielding her eyes from view. ]

If this is to be your graduation exam then I suppose it would be fitting for you to answer that question, would it not? Do you have a theory to share with the class, Mister Hanamura?

[now THAT is more like the voice he knows as the Mastermind. Sometimes they would be mocking. Sometimes serious and masterful, and rarely... manic and terrifying. Especially if he had failed in messing up a trial enough

(not through lack of ability, but ever growing guilt)

to earn punishment and threats to exposure. He wants to panic already just hearing her.

But he can't afford it. He swore he'd end this. Or at least help.]

Then... that was a different body?

[A mock up maybe? But it had looked so real...]

A different body. How... creative of you, Mister Hanamura.

[ her voice is dripping with barely contained scorn and she adjusts her glasses again. it's clear that creative is simply being used as a slightly more polite stand-in for what she really thinks. ]

Would you mind sharing with the class how, exactly, you believe I managed to find a perfect duplicate of myself, identical in every way? I'm afraid it's a little too late to fall back on 'identical twins', but I'm sure you'll come up with something.

[He knows when he's being mocked, and his entire upper body tenses all the more. He can't rise to her bait, but god it's hard

And honestly 'maybe she has a sister' was right on the top of his mind. So much for that. A complete double...

Jiriya swirls in alarm in the back of his head. Even after everything, it was still there- after all, he was not in any denial about what he did. Adachi proved your persona doesn't have to come from good truths, after all]

...wait. Are you just... part of Enoshima?

[It would explain the over the topness, he thinks... oh Yosuke you have no idea]

[ ... she smiles.

No, she beams. All that stiff coldness from before suddenly melts away and she's giggling and bouncing around in her seat, eyes glittering and her voice sugary sweet. ]

Oh boy, oh boy! Yosuke-kun's got a good one! But he's not all the way there yet! Come on, come on! Let's hear it for everyone watching along at home on their TVs!

What is it you think I am, huh, Yosuke-kun?

TVs...

[He bristles. She KNOWS, she always knew. Not just from him, either. Damn her straight to hell]

You're... you're a Shadow, aren't you?

...

Well!

I'm not just going to tell you if that's true. That'd be no fun.

[ S M I L E. ]

Bu~t! Let's play along with Yosuke-kun's idea! If I was a Shadow, then how would I be running around right here, in front of you? Do you have an answer for that, Mister Smarty Pants?

We'd have to be in the TV world. But I can't summon my Persona so... damn it, I don't know!
