Line 89:
* Zan-Shocker vs. the Voidspace Army in [http://alaxr274.deviantart.com/gallery/36864534 Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Super Milestone Wars: Crossover Taisen]
* ''[[The Open Door]]'' features this as its driving conflict. In one corner, you have the C'Tan, a race of [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Energy Beings]] obsessed with [[Omnicidal Maniac|wiping out all life in the universe]] and their mortal servants, the Necrons. In the other corner you have New Chaos, the collective forces of mankind led by their own set of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] and willing to do [[Moral Event Horizon|anything and everything]] ([[Even Evil Has Standards|short of harming children!]]) to ensure their own survival. Some would argue that this is more properly a case of [[Black and Grey Morality]] but New Chaos crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] too frequently -- most often at the expense of ''much'' lighter grey or even white factions like the cast of [[Star Trek]] or [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] -- to be anything other than [[A Lighter Shade of Grey|Another Shade Of Black]].
* ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker (Fanfic)|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' has the supervillain 8-Ball going up against hired killer Bullseye when they're hired by rival syndicates during a [[Mob War]]. {{spoiler|8-Ball wins.}}
* The Council Era, a fanfic created through the cooperation of several writers on the [[Mass Effect]] Fanon Wikia (not Fan Fiction wikia) has an Evil Versus Evil plotline within the [[Grey and Gray Morality]] of the [[Mass Effect]] universe. On one side is the [[Lawful Evil]], morally-corrupt equivalent of a galactic United Nations, The Council, and [[The Starscream|their advisor Tyrin Lieph]]. On the other is a ruthless [[Neutral Evil]] species [[The Starscream|led by another Starscream, Halak Marr]], whose primary goal is becoming a [[Master Race]].
* In ''[[Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality (Fanfic)|Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality]]'' Draco believes (along most Slytherins, apparently) that Dumbledore was the Greater Evil and that Voldemort and his Death Eaters, though bad, were the only people with a chance to stand up to him.
* During the last third of the ''[[Digimon]]'' story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1584078/1/ Zero 2: A Revision]'', [[Manipulative Bastard|UmbraDevimon]] and [[Evil Overlord|Demon]] both invade the Real World at the same time; apparently deciding that it's not big enough for both of them, they start throwing their armies at each other in order to wipe each other out. And ''[[It Got Worse|then]]'', the Gravemon invade as well, and they suddenly find something more dangerous to worry about.
* ''[[The Shape of the Nightmare to Come]]'' has [[Galactic Conqueror|Abaddon]]'s Chaos Imperium fighting against the Perturabo-Angron alliance (Abaddon wins with the aid of Typhus), and later on [[Space Pirates|Huron Blackheart's Eastern Chaos Imperium]] and the [[Eldritch Abomination|Void Dragon]]'s Necron forces. On another (even worse) note, a key element of the fic's setting is the removal of two factions engaged in a massive [[Evil Versus Evil]] war - The Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan and the Ork Empire of Octarius inadvertently gave birth to the New Devourer, [[It Got Worse|Ork/Tyranid hybrid lifeforms]], who then proceeded to eat 1/3 of the galaxy.
Line 169:
* In ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' we have {{spoiler|Tigerstar Vs. Scourge}} during ''The Darkest Hour''. And, depending on your view of them, {{spoiler|1=Stick Vs. Dodge in SkyClan's Destiny}} may count.
* Much of Glen Cook's ''Annals of the Black Company'' is devoted to the internal conflicts between powerful evil sorcerers. Much of the original trilogy involves the Lady's struggle to keep her [[Eviler Than Thou]] husband, the Dominator, from freeing himself, so she can keep ruling her own empire as she pleases.
* Happens in-universe in ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets|Harry Potter]]'', although it's more a case of [[Jerkass]] vs. Annoying. When Snape and Lockhart are dueling, Harry and Ron think the best outcome would be if they finished each other off.
* The final battle of the ''[[Books of Swords]]'' trilogy is fought between Yambu, the Silver Queen, [[Big Bad]] of the first two novels, and [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Vilkata, the Dark King]], the even [[Bigger Bad]] of the third book. Interestingly, Yambu only does her [[Heel Face Turn]] ''after'' she wins the battle but loses her throne. Of course, the third book does give Yambu a [[Broken Bird|sympathetic backstory]], including something of a [[Freudian Excuse]]. But it's not an accident that she wins the battle using Soulcutter, also known as the Tyrant's Blade, a name she acknowledges.
* [[Private Detective]] and [[Vigilante Man]] Mike Hammer, as quoted in ''One Lonely Night'' just before he blew away a bunch of [[Dirty Communists]] who were torturing Velda.
Line 314:
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' has this as a thing that can be done in the game provided there are 2 sets of enemy forces on a battlefield, Primary Enemies (Red) and Neutral/Secondary (Yellow) despite them usually targeting you, they will go for each other if they are in range at times, firing shots and destroying each other, which in larger levels can make life a tad easier. Different villains from various anime are often pitted against each other, with additional original villains throw in.
** In ''[[Super Robot Wars Advance]]'' Shadow Mirrors are trying to take control over [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Devil Gundam]] and get rid of all aliens.
** In ''[[Super Robot Wars Judgment]]'' [[Voltes V|Boazanians]] are sworn enemies of [[Blue Comet SPT Layzner|Gradosians]] and [[Full Metal Panic!|Gauron]] at one point picks up a fight with [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|ZATF forces]]. The Fury are trying to kill everybody.
** In ''[[Super Robot Wars W]]'' [[GaoGaiGar|Zonderians]] oppose [[Tekkaman Blade|Radam]], who are sworn enemies of [[Detonator Orgun|Evolouders]] who, in turn, hate [[GaoGaiGar|11 Masters of Sol]].
* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]]'' this occurs between {{spoiler|Chiaki, Isamu, and Hikawa}} and depending on which ending {{spoiler|the Demi-Fiend as well}}.
Line 403:
* A three-way version: Professor Pericles vs. Mr. E {{spoiler|(his former owner)}} vs. {{spoiler|Mayor Jones}} in ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated|Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated]]''.
** Though Mr. E is more morally ambiguous than the other two, making this more an example of [[Black and Gray Morality]].
* [[Conversational Troping|Conversed]] in an episode of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''. Sid suggested that he and his friends just watch two bullies, Wolfgang and Ludwig, duke it out over Gerald Field and when they're both dead they can reclaim it. This makes the example more [[Jerkass]] vs. [[Jerkass]] though, and when they try out the plan, the bullies just force the younger kids to play football to decide a winner rather than get their hands dirty. In the end, the bullies find they like each other, leaving the gang worse off than before.
* ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'': during the Kirwood Derby arc, [[The Starscream|Boris Badenov]] fought Fearless Leader for the Derby. When the narrator asked who would win the fight, they both [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|turned to the camera]] and shouted, "Who cares? We're both bad guys!"
* Two episodes of ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters|Filmations Ghostbusters]]'' featured a villain named Big Evil, who tried to usurp Prime Evil's status as the [[Big Bad]] of that series. Both episodes invoked the [[Enemy Mine]] trope by having Prime Evil asking for help from the heroes.
