Shinji? Walking awesome factory. Rei? Never, ever cross her, ever. Asuka? Three words: {{spoiler|'''GIGA! DRILL! BREEEAAAKEEEERR!'''}} Kaworu? Everything that Shinji is, but on the opposing side.

Mana becomes a Commisar with her own personal Dreadnought. Hikari becomes an Inquisitor, with Stormtrooper Suzuhara as her retainer. There is even the original characters, including-but-not-limited-to a military genius that almost led China to world domination, and a [[Badass Normal|regular solider]] with collossal titanium balls that has survived a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] and being absorbed by an [[Eldritch Abomination]] and is far from finished.

** In order to provide some context and clarification as to exactly ''how'' awesome this story is, the very first Crowning Moment of Awesome, the one that all successive Awesome Moments exceed by increasing magnitudes, is when eight-year-old Shinji has his Warboss figurine stolen by three larger boys, and he proceeds to attempt to ''beat the living crap out of them'', and ''wins'', despite being nothing but a big bruise by the end of it. The boys are so impressed by his sheer balls that from then on they refer to him only as "Da' Boss".

In the distraction, Ed breaks Voldemort's grip on him and ''kicks him in the balls'' for good measure.
* [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Fanfic Recs|Sluagh]], the sequel to the above mentioned "Dumbledore's Army..." has more Crowning Moments of Awesome than the original Harry Potter series combined. Seamus Finnigan, in particular, has become a serious [[Anti-Hero]], as well as [[Took a Level In Badass|Taken A Level In Badass]] to a whole new degree. For anyone who was disappointed by the Big Bad of the original series being taken down with an Expelliarmus, {{spoiler|this time the - much nastier, IMHO - bad is taken out in a last-ditch wager where the fate of the world rests on a knife fight to the death.

*** And ''then'', it's even more brutally inverted when the [[Flying Brick]] decides to try a [[Badass Boast]]: 'I just want to hear three words from you two. 'We give up.' Quinn Morgendorffer, who is the resident [[Badass Adorable]] of the Legionnaires (and shows that [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]) kicks up her [[Power Levels]] to WAAAAAAY insane levels and becomes a walking [[BFG]] that vaporizes her in one shot as she does her ''own'' [[Badass Boast]]: 'You get ''one''. '' 'Bang'.''
** [[Badass Lolita]] Sandi Griffin (who [[Took a Level In Badass]] during the course of the series and is actually now the team's ''resident'' [[Badass]] - though Tiffany Blum-Deckler, while seeming to compete for the [[Badass]] title, is more of a [[Heroic Sociopath]]) gets ''two''. First, when facing off against the other teams best fighter - a girl who's also a ''ninja'' - [[Reality Ensues]] when, instead of fighting her, she simply triplicates and shoots her in the face three times - each of her three bodies fires. Later, when surrounded by four of the most powerful and dangerous members of the other team, the ninja says to her, 'Don't you know that when you're surrounded by four people like us, it means that you should give up right then and there?' Her response - just before detonating her weapon (thereby blowing up herself, her adversaries and a ''BIG'' chunk of the mall they're fighting in), is '' 'Don't you know that when you hear the sound of my zipper unzipping, '''it means that you can suck my-!''' ' ''
** Original character David Allen Farrington, who's sporting some serious [[Psychic Powers]] (like Daria Morgendorffer herself, but his are turned [[Up to Eleven]] because he also has interactive powers like telekinesis - plus, he's a walking [[BFG]]), gets a couple himself. First, When he and Daria are having a tag-team bout of [[A God Am I]] by both tapping into cosmic forces, he defeats her by giving her a kiss - causing the cosmic power to withdraw from her instantly in a literal case of a [[Slap Slap Kiss]]. Then, when the rest of the Legionnaires come after him, he gets a ''little bit'' [[Drunk
** Even though the entire battle happens in [[Cyberspace]], and nobody really got hurt, doesn't make it all any less awesome.
* In the [[Daria]] fanfic 'Emancipation', Daria gets one when she goes to buy her sister a chicken dinner, and a guy attempts to mug her right in front of the restaurant. Before anyone inside can do anything - not to mention the mugger - Daria's [[Damsel Fight-and-Flight Response]] totally fails her, instead making her momentarily [[Ax Crazy]] as she takes her Doc Martens to each of his knees ''and then kicks him in the face... leaving a perfect print of her boot's sole on his forehead.''
* In ''Neon Genesis Evangelion: Redemption'' by Chris & Alex Voutsis, Rei Ayanami, piloting a Unit-00' with only ten minutes of battery power, is forced to fight alone against the USAF-operated Unit-04' (codenamed MARI) when Shinji and Asuka are incapacitated. Normally, this would be impressive though not quite a Crowning Moment of Awesome. What kicks it over the top? The USAF has upgraded Unit-04's Dummy Plug and can remotely pilot the Eva themselves, meaning that, unlike the Angels who just blast things at random, Unit-04 is ''smart''. Worse, it's armed with a jet pack, an S2 engine, a laser rifle, and stealth armor -- all of which it just used to destroy three military bases in France, steal eight other Evas for the US, and take on the UN. The situation looks so bad, even Misato thinks they're all probably screwed. After all, how can you fight an intelligent enemy that's just going to circle around above, taking out your support network (because it knows everything about you from spies in NERV), and you can't even paint it on radar? Rei's answer? {{spoiler|Link with the Dummy Plug clone's mind to locate its position and then use her positron rifle to destroy its jet pack -- without even bothering to turn on her targeting computer. Then engage in a bloody, knock-down drag-out fist fight that levels half of Tokyo-3, goes down the Eva elevator shafts, into NERV itself, and ends with Rei beating Unit-04 to death in a berserker rage just before it destroys Unit-01 (and a Shinji trapped inside) even after Unit-00 is crippled and has taken a full gun clip to its head.}}

Five other wands were out as well, as a handful of children silently threatened to hex him and his son if they made another move." There are several others throughout the series, but that one always stands out to me.

* The Master has many in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' AU Fic ''[http://dwseason4.livejournal.com/4776.html Season Four]'', but his finest moment is in Chapter 13, {{spoiler|where he and the Doctor confront the Rani - who plans to establish a New Gallifrey for the currently human Time Lords in her possession at a psychiatric ward with the help of the Doctor and Master.}} The Master laughs hysterically at this and has this brilliant rebuttal:

** From the same series, "Afraid To Fly Part 2" gives us Shiho's moment of awesome.

Later, the Geist chases him and Fleur into the Forest. Harry stays there and stalls the Geist, while Fleur goes to get help...From the HOGWARTS GHOSTS. What follows is a medieval style smackdown.

* The Evangelion/DBZ crossover fic [[
* Few fanfics mimic their source material as perfectly as [http://www.rdrop.com/~/wyvern/data/houseplants.html Houseplants of Gor], a parody of John Norman's ''[[Gor]]'' series. It's simultaneously a CMOA and a CMOF.

The author, despite not being a native, can nonetheless write with better grammar than many English and American people in Fanfiction.net, and has managed to write two scenes which are quite good [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in my opinion:
** In The Unexpected Visitor, chapter 25, Dementors and Death Eaters attack Hogsmeade while the students are there. Harry Potter takes charge of the situation while the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry Aurors arrive, and he contributes quite a lot to the defence of the town. However, the CMoA comes when, after realising that there are very few Patroni (plural of Patronus) still around and several hundreds of Dementors, he [[It Makes Sense in Context|makes up a charm on the spot]] that absorbs the still living Patroni and transforms them into creatures of fire of different colours that utterly destroy the Dementors, freeing all the souls they have Kissed.
** In Prodigy, chapter 11, Quirrell decides, instead of freeing the troll on the dungeons, to send it directly into the Great Hall to cause as much harm as possible as well as distracting Dumbledore. The troll arrives just when Harry and his friends (Ron, Hermione and Neville) are getting out of the Great Hall, thus encountering him right on the door (this scene is told from Harry, Albus Dumbledore, Sirius Black and Molly Weasley). Just when the troll is going to smash them with its club, Harry, on instinct, manages to cast a magical shield that not only stops the club, but utterly destroys it into tiny pieces, and then gets his friends to scatter. Then, the troll charges Hermione, but Ron manages to push her to a side just in time for the troll to go head on the wall, although Ron breaks his leg in the process. Neville uses a [[Exactly What It Says

** For exapmle; in Chapter eleven Victor Von Doom is covered in third degree. And when the Hulk attacks him, what does he do? Why, he taunts him about how pathetic he is while holding his own against him! Of course, Hulk eventually manages to punch him across the country. Eventually.

{{quote| The Horseman decided he hated this human more than any other being in any other world, and by the time he hit the ground, he had decided not to cut off his head, but to systematically break and destroy every single fibre of his being, starting with his toe tips, and continuing up to his neck, keeping him alive until the very end, and then wearing his head as a trophy during the Red Queen's gallas.}}
* The final battle in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3656471/1/bOmega_b_bDawn_b Omega Dawn]''. The entirety of the battle is a continous CMOA, but the real thing happens when {{spoiler|Kairi regains her Princess of Heart powers and Riku getting all maximum power: after Kairi delivered a [[In the Name of
* Poland, in the Hetalia fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5352659/1/1940_Lithuania 1940: Lithuania]''. He spends the first two thirds of the story alternating between being forced to work in a factory making uniforms for German soldiers and getting beaten up by Russia and locked in his room for several days at a time for not knowing when to shut up.

Despite being a foot shorter and about 75 pounds smaller, she ends up winning. What makes it even more awesome is the fact that she herself was badly beaten up during the scuffle but she still kept fighting, determined to protect Kagami from any more harm. Well done, Konata. My hat goes off to you.
* The scene where {{spoiler|Kirby destroys Dark Matter}} in ''[[The Dream Land Story]]'' is undeniably awesome. {{spoiler|Kirby manages to catch ''Dark Matter'' (which had previously shown itself to have almost perfect reaction time) off guard, giving it a ruthless beatdown with the Star Rod.}}
