Final Showdown

"How else did you think this would end, you stupid little girl? What, the teenaged hero picks a fight with the fucking embodiment of evil and wins? Do you have the slightest idea what I am? How old I am? The extent of my power? And you thought you could fight me? With a stick? I'd be insulted, if it weren't so funny.
Let me tell you a little secret, my child; this body, this face I wear, even the name, Kuyohashi Jujyo -- none of it is real. Do you really think me a samurai turned demon? Something so small and limited? Haha...
The Grand Truth is...Hell is so much more then you know. Would you like to hear this? I think it's an important lesson, this.
Hell is not a place of suffering and brimstone. It is alive. A dimension, an entire universe, living, thinking, HATING. Unknowably large, incomprehensibly old, impossibly chaotic--Hell is what Lovecraft would have written about, if he were completely insane. Hell eats Cthulu for breakfast, and washes it down with some Arwassa for dessert. And a thing so vast and alien and...beyond you, you small, stupid, ape of a creature, could never stoop so low as to actually speak with an insignificant insect like you. And even if it wanted to, your clumsy meat-mind could never comprehend it's omnivorous will. And so, I am. Me, not a demon, not a man, not anything more then an ambassador. A masthead. I am more then the King of All-Damned, girl. I am the very Voice of Hell itself. It is me. I am It. It wills, and I do. I will, and It responds. We are One. The Mind, and the Body, inseparable. Immovable. My footsteps cause the cosmos to tremble. My laughter shakes the Heavens. And you've been fighting That with a wooden stick. How stupid are you? You provided me with some amusement, the likes of which I had not seen since the Nazarene walked the deserts and spouted his asinine fortune-cookie banter. But like him, all things of flesh and smallness end. He made no difference- for I still Am- and neither did you.
Here you stand, bloodied and broken, harmless and alone. In the end, you messianic types always are. And it always- always- amounts to nothing. Think on that, before I end this all." |

Re: Final Showdown Strong composition and lighting on this one. Cool caption too. I do think the colours are a bit over-filtered, though. The sparks (?) at the bottom left obscure the image a bit much, and I've never been a fan of using Photoshop's cloud filters for actual clouds... they're not too convincing.
