Screw 'plot' or 'themes' or 'lore', give me your protagonist's BATTLE CRY!

[Thraben]

As title.

give me the words your protagonist would shout before throwing themselves into a battle to the death. Mine? Current protagonists are all the silent types. but, if my main guy had to pick, he'd probably shout "I AM AWAKE"

 

[JayMark]

"Nah, I'll win."

 

[CharlesEBrown]

Hmm - given the genres, Jack, Indigo and Sparrow probably should have battle cries but none do.
None of my other characters really do, either, so far. Though I could easily see Malcolm being enough of a wise-@$$ to borrow The Tick's and shout "Spoon!" going into battle, just to confuse people.

"You sinner, how dare you use the dead bodies of my subjects to demean me so!?" Celestia growled, advancing.

The being of the Darkness did not utter a sound. It went into a slow gait, prepared to charge.

"If you want this so badly, then listen." The Princess' power surged around her, and her light redoubled with a pure white.

"You speak, and I hear the ripples on the water that try to describe what water is," Chrysalis answered with an echoing low hum.

"All is fine and well in the Kingdom of the Sun, -" began Celestia.

"I hear the snow that deludes itself as falling leaves," hissed the shadow, determined to interrupt the cadence of her chant.

"- as long as all its subjects, both great and small, keep in mind, -"

"An ash, dreaming of wind."

"- that no matter how deep the dark is, the day will always break! -"

"All eternal truths are lies!"

"- And I will be the one to bear the Daybreaker! Lux æterna!!"

I didn't sign up for this.

'The fucking fuck?' He mentally sighed as he equipped his obsidian blade, ready to deal with the abomination that had decided to spoil his mood.

"Blood is Everything."

No, no ,no. This is not happening.

 

[Elmir_Arch-Ham_of_Omega]

Technically not a battle cry because she doesn't say it herself, but Ingrid Lily's slime familiar goes full Michael Buffer by yelling over the bull horn
"From Riverdale North Carolina, weighing in at a secret number of pounds... The Undisputed, Cookie Weight, Champyaaaaaan aaaav the Wuuuuuurld!"

 

[laccoff_mawning]

"Everyone freeze! This is a robbery!"

Cyra,

“I am fine with it, let the worlds forever curse me. If it means this light within me can shine, to create a future of infinite possibilities, then I will take on that burden.”

Atlalune,

“I will burnout my soul, if it means her safety...”

Ava,

“I understand...very well, there will be a reality just for us...”

Isa,

“Damn me if you must, scorn my name to the ends of eternity. I will accept it all, and give her a world she can live in, a world she can be happy in.”

——————

Yeah, they are all self destructive.

Only Local Beef can solve the issue. Though, this either at the end, or right before they are approaching their peak.

In Cyra’s case, it is just before she becomes the first Iconoclast.

Atlalune, it is the type of resolve she carries. It is expressed through her actions.

Ava, this comes in right after her failure. Though, it shows her last desperate attempt to shift things, rather than go into another cycle.

Isa, it is after she becomes the second Iconoclast, and before she is to challenge the goddess Seres.

For Seres confirmation, this is right before the truly self destructive attack she uses.


“I will keep condemning my soul, if it means the smallest chance for success.” The maiden’s sharp vision onward.

“Here you are almost in the grave, and still defying me. Why go through all of this? Why suffer this much?” the goddess’ uncertainty.

“A single person, one who brought weight into my empty world. It does not matter how far I have to go, what atrocities I have to commit. If I can give her a world she can be happy and safe in, then I will take on whatever punishment comes my way. She deserves the future, not me.” The demon’s solemn tone, her increasing negativity.

“This is your true soul huh, so black it only sees one single light. Your despair, it ends with self destruction.” Seres shaking her head in pity.

“Right, it does, and I am fine with it. I said this before, but if I have to choose between the world or Elina, I will choose Elina every single time. Let everyone forever scorn me, I will take on that burden, and leave behind a small bit of hope.” The devil’s slight smile.

Heyyyy, fellow pony writer! Salutations!

At any rate, I have had like four scenes (mostly in different stories, granted) that started fight's/massacres with the phrase "What do you think you are doing, to MY BROTHER/SISTER!" or some variation thereoff. So that'd probably have to be my most typical battle cry... Sometimes these patterns just get in my head and I keep writing them.

Other than that, there's always "You may die when I give you permission to die."

Hrm. Not a lot of characters that really speak up when theres combat now that I look at it. That little interim space of engaging into battle tends to be hard for me to write, just a lot of things I want to state at once, I guess dialogue tends to get lost in that chaos. Still working on that.
