I know we all have them. But, thanks to the unspoken battlefield rule of 'finishing a battle is almost a miracle' (the exception being the Tournament of Red Lions), nobody really gets to show off their character's ultimate abilities.
So this is where we do just that. Participation is open, go ahead and do whatever you wish, as long as you follow these three rules:
1) Your attack must be aimed at the person who posted just before you, and will undoubtedly kill them...
2) ...So you must also resurrect the person who posted above the person you killed. I'll post so it doesn't get too confusing. My practice dummies will be Bob and Phil, who will wink out of existence as soon as someone brings them back to life.
3) If you have multiple 'ultimate' attacks, you must wait until you've been brought back to life to use them. This should give people enough of a chance to post their own.
Ok, here we go. Still suffering from major writer's block, so this may not be the caliber I usually post at.
____________
Poor Phil. Poor, poor Phil. Who knew what his objective was? Picking a fight with poor Bob, and gutting him with a knife? It wouldn't matter soon. Not one bit.
The Time Warrior approached the knife-wielding man, with his eyes burning a fierce white, the way they do when someone has pissed him off on the worst day possible. He made no other movements than to stand next to him.
"NAMES OF YOUR PARENTS."
Phil didn't have to answer. He could feel the answers being torn from his reeling mind. And then... the blond-haired man was gone...
36 years earlier...
The steady, rhythmic beat of the music permeated the room, and the sparkling lights of the disco ball seemed so entrancing to young Jennifer. So colorful, so vibrant. The man had given her a free drink. Said it was awesome stuff. It was. She could feel her mind expanding. She could feel a fresh breeze flowing through her soul. She looked at the man, who was handsome, and had this cute little forked goatee. He said something that sounded so wonderful.
"Let's go explore ourselves together, baby."
Jenny liked the sound of that. Acradius Journeyman didn't. He sat behind them, and saw his little slip of LSD into her drink, and heard his load of bull. He stood up, and quickly reached his psionic mind out, down into the pit of the man's bowels. And he thought: down.
All of a sudden, Jenny really thought it was strange that her new friend had brown liquid running out his pant leg and was thoroughly distressed. Furthermore, she thought he was gross. And she walked away to pet another girl's furry shirt.
Present...
The blond man kicked his chair back and put his feet up on the table, as he sipped his Appletini. Bob walked by. Phil? Who the hell was Phil?

The blond man's rest was not long however, as the ground beneath him suddenly begins shaking violently, a loud trembling quickly growing louder and louder as a huge runic circle appears with him at the very center, and a large gathering of dark storm clouds blocks out the sun. If the man had tried to escape the wild jerking of the ground would of impaired him greatly.
A blue and purple gaseous being floats a short distance away, magical energy's swirling around his body as he points towards the blonde man and without moving his lips a powerful voice echoes out, seemingly from all directions. "Convergence of four dooms. Eruption, Tsunami, Thunderstorm, Meteor!"
What happens next occurs very quickly. The earth in the center of the circle explodes upwards as a stream of Firey Hot Magma bursts through the ground beneath it.
Next a Blue portal the size of a skyscraper appears in the air above and a bit away from the magma and a Massive tidal wave pours forth washing over the magma and transforming it into crushing earth while a cacophony of thunderbolts rains down from the sky.
Suddenly as the water begins to settle and the storm starts to die down a hole is blasted through the storm clouds as a massive meteor punches through and slams into the ground where the blond figure had stood a moment ago causing a large impact crater to form in a huge explosion.
The blue gaseous figure settles to the ground and transforms into a young looking blond haired man in a leviathan styled light blue fullplate with purple eyes and a strange glowing purple crystal on his forehead. With a wave of his hand, the ground smooths out to the way it had been just a moment before to reveal the table perfectly unharmed.
The purple eyed man pulls a communicator out of his pocket and hits a few buttons before putting it up to his face. "Hello, time keepers, I'd like to report a breach. Already on it? Great." Strange Phil appears a moment later, only to be whisked away to whereabouts unknown as the purple eyed man walks up to the table and smiles, speaking gleefully "Ooh, an Appletini, haven't had one of these in a while," before conjuring a chair and sitting down to take a sip.
"Maybe that combo's a bit overkill."

The martini glass barely touches the man's mouth before a huge ceramic and metal alloyed fist clamps down over his head, grinding the glass shards of the mixed drink glass into the purple eyed man's face and denting his helmet permanently in place.
His assailant, a six foot two monster of a cyborg wearing an anachronistic heavily reinforced captain's coat (circa Earth-1, 1775) over his regular plated ceramic-metal atmosphere suit and an equally out of date three cornered hat atop his long dirty-blond hair.
As the cyborg man hauls his prey up off of the chair, a hydraulic mount deployed a syringe from his metallic wrist, punching a laser sharpened needle through armor and bone to deliver a heavy dose of narcotics and suppressants directly into the young man's brain.
As those youthful purple eyes go out of focus, Capitan Grant Kris chuckles lightly to himself, thinking of all the money that the organs of a human who can access the ether fields to use magic without the use of technology would fetch him in planet Torm's bazaar.
A crackle of static interrupts the thoughts that should be left unstated in polite company and his Navigation and Communications Officer Nemisee spoke into the his ear, "Sir, one of the techs has informed me, our sensors are picking up some latent Psionic activity just to the left of you. I'll send the data to you now."
The sensors in the pirate's right eye lit up the pile of immaculate armor and scorched bones that used to be Acradius. He spoke aloud to no one in particular, "Well bring this mess along and see if we can't regrow anything of it in the cloning tanks."

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno...
First post, 3rd paragraph

So exacly that. Killy doomy painful hurty death that makes you fall down and not get up.1) Your attack must be aimed at the person who posted just before you, and will undoubtedly kill them...
When our world is burning.
When all run like the cowards they are.
I shall stand in the inferno, and fight until I am consumed

OOC: sorry, though these signiture attacks ar not normally killing moves, in this topic they are, I get it now. okay, I'll post one.
from a collumn of flames a muscular figure with giand dragon wongs stepped out. his height was almost 8 feet tall and his face was more dragonic than human, his skin was crimson as was his hair, his horns longer than usual as were his claws and spikes had grown from his shoulders, elbows and knees, and at the end of his tail was a blade of cosmic gundanium with four curved spikes jutting out from it's base. his eyes were a deep orange yet glowing red as he advanced on his target.
He smiled with sadistic glee as he saw the pirate and his mount carring a charred corpse with them and roared so loudly that the sonic waves of the roar caused the charred corpse to fall apart into dust and blew out the sensors of the pirate's right eye. Omega Inferno aproached the pirate, the ground cracking and igniting under his feet with every step. without warning the dragonig being's figure ignited and glowed bright orange and white as he opened his mouth. a glowing ball of flames was forming in his mouth as other orbs of element energy began gathering and fusing with the flame orb, elements of both good and evil and even the ki energy of surrounding things was being drawn into this orb of elemental energy. the souls of the dead in the area were even fused into this orb as it grew in power. the bladed tail of this monsterous dragonic creature stabbed through both the pirate and his steed, the for spikes clampped down on them like a third hand and heald them in position as the orb collapsed and a massive beam was shot from Omega Inferno's mouth. as the beam engulfed the tech pirate it slowly but surely disintigrated him, his steed and everything else in the path of the beam except for the cosmic gundanium blade and spikes at the end of his tail. and not only did the beam completely destroy them and anything in its path including a city, a mountain range, and a forest before escaping from the atmosphere and blowing up the orbiting moon and causing significant damage to the core of the system's star.
Inferno fell back and reverted to his base form. sevearly drained from the attack, Inferno barely found the strength to stand and smiled weakly.
Inferno: the final elemental blast, my most powerful attack. I'll have to only use that when I face someone whose power rivals that of the Gods.
with a wave of his hand, and the last bit of strength the purple eye'd man was revived and ran off.
