There Is No Kill Like Overkill/Fanfic

"“What is it?” Torian replied, watching Tiger with a worried expression. Not too worried though, since her flaming crown had disappeared the moment she had doubled over in pain.

“The enemy temple! It's on fire!” the voice shouted.

“Huh?” He involuntarily looked down, and then kept looking, his eyes growing wider and wider. Something underneath the waves was burning bright enough to make them shine like the setting sun. “I- I can see that.” He looked up at Tiger, his expression begging for an explanation. “What are they burning?”

“The temple.”

“Yes, you already told me that!”

“You don't understand! The stone is on fire! Underwater!”

Torian blinked. So did most of the youma.

“By all the dark gods, it just crashed and now the sand is burning too! Look at it!” another warlock shouted in the background.

“I think even the water is on fire,” the first one muttered in a voice that bordered on religious rapture.

“Don't be silly,” Tiger interrupted. “The water is too busy exploding to be on fire!”

“I... I stand corrected.”"

"Shinji: Now those Frenchies have a smile they can be proud of!"
 * That is all.
 * Mister Cynical's Lycanthrope series on fanfiction.net (loosely based on Neon Genesis Evangelion) is notorious for this, to the point where the characters in the series actually come to expect it. One notable example is where Shinji is supposed to kill a member of Seele in Paris. Instead of simply shooting him, he decides to blow up the building he's in, along with many others (including the Eiffel Tower). The end result is that Paris is filled with flaming debris which just happens to form a giant smiley face a mile and a half wide.


 * Also, Finishing The Fight (found on the Halo Fanfic Recs page), in which much care is taken to describe the effects when "modern" UNSC weaponry is used on Dungeons and Dragons baddies..
 * Often in Crowning Moment of Awesome fashion. And then there was ...
 * Renegade
 * GDI has stationed twenty ion cannon emplacements - each of which mounts six dreadnought-grade ion cannons - outside the Charon Mass Relay. That's a lot of "NEEM."
 * Garrus. Need to question some criminals?  Turns out they're not the ones who have what he needs to know?   Need to question a mercenary boss?
 * Apparently, Admiral Nick "Havoc" Parker is known for this - according to Shepard, orbital bombardment is his first resort. The prospect of him and Garrus being in the same room is terrifying.
 * In a crossover RPG (Fanon or Canon), Ancient Equivalents have invaded a faction on the level of the Ori (Tech, not power), and they have A LOT of drones (SG Fans Look Them Up), the defending forces just fired 'Vortex Beams' (Derived From Vortex Generation off of B5 Jumpgates) from the their ships, there were to many vortexes (700) that went critical resulting in the loss of a planet, two moons, 125 Ancient ships and 700 defensive forces. The vortexes merged and created a anomaly about 3 LS across :( Let's just say the person controlling the Ancients is not happy that they lost 1/3 or their fleet in the blink of an eye. The defending faction has something called a Planetary Defensive Grid well, you figure it out...
 * Hinata's Singularity Rasengan atomizes every cell in  body and has the same fundamental effect on his chakra.
 * From Gods of This New World: "Meanwhile, L had been in a harrier jet overhead… He readied a missile to be fired, and unleashed fiery hell on ."
 * In chapter 15 of Ace Combat: The Equestrian War, Flare Star reported (having witnessed it firsthand) that  was beaten to semi consciousness by four griffins before one of them ripped the wings off her body... Even after she hit the ground, her killer still smashed her spine to make sure she won't get up again.
