'''''Demon of Justice''''' is a crossover fanfic between ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' and ''[[The War Gods|Oath of Swords]]''. It is a notable piece of fanfiction that predates both [[TV Tropes]] ''and'' [[Fanfiction.net]]. Due to real life issues, work on it stopped sometime in 2005/2006. As of
In a battle, with Oz forces Chang Wufei strikes an experimental enemy weapon at just the right moment, any earlier or later and he would have died. As it is the weapon, which accessed power from the fabric between worlds, did explode, and shove Wufei and Nataku through the fabric of reality. Before Wufei could go mad in the nothingness between realities, he is summoned
In Orfressa, where two factions of gods have been at war for millennia, things aren't going well for the good guys. The continent of Kontovar fell to the Dark and had to be wiped clean by a wizardly [[Kill Sat]], but the biggest victory [[Big Bad|Phrobus]] pulled off is [[Cosmic Retcon|one no one remembers]]. Without the Light Gods of War & Death, the others are trying to pick up the slack, but there are far more demon summoners and undead about.

* [[Action Girl]]
{{quote|
▲* [[Action Girl]] - Naiya. She's a Horse Stealer Hradani, one of the few tribes that teach their women to fight. She's probably about as tall as an average human man and supernatural stamina and strength. While she hasn't really 'fought' yet, she has looted the dead bodies of her kidnappers and tried to charge towards where an angry dark war god was because Wufei might need her.
▲* [[Actual Pacifist]] - Relena
▲* [[Affably Evil]] - The second priest of Sharna we meet
▲* [[All Crimes Are Equal]] - Rent and Taxes in the Purple Lord Lands.
▲{{quote| "Defaulting on rent gets you evicted, you see, but tax evasion is treason. If you plead poverty, and they're feeling lenient, they just evict you, confiscate all your property, and put a lien on your future wages. If they're not feeling lenient, well... treason is a capital crime.".}}

* [[All There in the Manual]]
* [[Alpha Bitch]]
* [[
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Demons and Champions, the first because they are magically bound, the second because they wouldn't be champions if they weren't willing to [[Last Stand|do that]].
* [[Badass Normal]]: Champions don't have physical powerups, and the various knights and laypeople of an order keep up with them up to Demons.
Line 36 ⟶ 32:
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: If a priest of a god kills you in that god's temple your soul belongs to them. Some of them eat souls, most dark priests will torture you to death.

* [[
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Invoked, and then discarded.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: An amorphous demon forms them with fanged mouths on the tips. Considering they get under Nataku's armor in the leg region, this might count as a really really strange example of [[Naughty Tentacles]].
Line 57 ⟶ 53:
* [[Destructive Saviour]]: Hard to avoid when one of the fighters is a giant robot in the fields of a medieval village, and the enemy is a amorphous screaming blob.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]] - Yithar was seen [[Bring Me My Brown Pants|wetting and shitting his pants in fear]] demands 'taxes' early so he can put the villagers out, because they laughed at him.

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: Wufei knew full well he might die [[Taking You with Me|taking out the canon]]. The amount of destruction the exploding canon cause, however, is credited as to why OZ surrendered. Fortunately for the story, he didn't die.
* [[Eats Babies]]: Inferred.{{context}}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Krashnark yes, he's considered something a disappointment to his parents.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Everything Is Better With Princes]]
Line 69 ⟶ 65:

** [[Prince Charming Wannabe|Princess Charming Wannabe]] - Rami, invoked, played with, parodied, reconstructed, discussed, and conversed.
{{quote|

* [[Flashback Nightmare]]{{context}}
* [[For Want of a Nail|For Want Of Two Gods]]{{context}}

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Wufei wishes Duo was with him, because Duo ''would'' be genre savvy, or at least having tons of fun.
* [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]] - {{spoiler|even dark gods. Krashnark shouldn't have ignored his church.}}
Line 90 ⟶ 86:
* [[Greed]]: Yithar.
* [[Heel Realization]] - {{spoiler|Relena}}, used to avert the [[Character Bashing]] common in the [[Gundam Wing]] fandom.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]{{context}}
* [[Honor Before Reason]] - Wufei and Krashnark. This is why Krashnark is still with his father despite getting along with some of the Light Gods.
* [[I Owe You My Life]] - Invoked by {{spoiler|Vaijon.}} Averted by {{spoiler|Wufei and Krashnark, since Krashnark doesn't expect Wufei to honor it, and he wouldn't anyway.}}
Line 98 ⟶ 94:
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: First, kill it with your flamethrower, then purify it with fire, then finally, actually start trying to kill something with fire.
* [[Meaningful Name]] - Nataku means justice. {{spoiler|Tomanak, one of the missing gods, was the god of just war & justice.}}
* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Averted in canon.{{context}}
* [[The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body]]: Averted with Wufei.{{context}}
* [[Mission
* [[Mooks]] - There are plenty of nameless evil minions in the [[Forces Of Evil]], but it's not uncommon in Mel and Christy's words for for some of them to get a name and a line of characterization. Even if it's right before they get [[Human Sacrifice|their throat sliced open]].
* [[Morality Pet]] - Wufei for Krashnark
Line 116 ⟶ 112:
* [[Refusal of the Call]] - All champions do this at first, {{spoiler|so presumably Wufei's initial refusal isn't that unusual, especially for a Dark God that prefers decent people to [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]].}}
* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]] - Played with. Some characters are aware that they are missing something. Phrobus is cited as the reason why the number 7 is unlucky in Orfressa, though he is the ''fifth'' child now.
* [[Slash]]{{context}}<!-- MOD: Especially, which Slash? The one about killing teens in horror movies, the one about shipping two male characters, the one who plays guitar for GNR, or something else? -->
* [[Song Fic]] - Songfic (sometimes has Wufei play music in-fic - is there a specific trope for that?) - Exploited {{spoiler|Wufei blows his eardrums, rendering himself temporarily deaf, to shut up Krashnark.}}
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Debateable, there's the first priest, and then the better prepared priest.
Line 132 ⟶ 128:
* [[The Unchosen One]] - Several people who were [[The Chosen One]] in the original books, such as {{spoiler|Bazhell, Vaijon}} and presumably [[Action Girl|Kerry.]] By [[Word of God]], {{spoiler|Vaijon}} was essentially born with the knowledge that he was going to become a Champion, [[Have You Seen My God?|unfortunately]].
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]] - the power from a sacrifice is equal to the unused potential energy of the victim: virgins have more. {{spoiler|Wufei, as a demon, has lots.}}
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]{{context}}
* [[With Friends Like These...]] - Krashnark is disgusted by his family and bored by his worshippers - the first potential champion he's seen in eons is a break from the monotony he'll go very far for.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] - Vaijon, who, as in canon, thinks this is some normal Chivalric Romance or [[Knight in Shining Armor]] story.
