6	''Demon of Justice'' is a SlashFic {{crossover}} between ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' and ''[[Literature/TheWarGods Oath of Swords]]''. It is a notable piece of fanfiction that predates both Website/TVTropes ''and'' Website/FanFictionDotNet. Due to real life issues work on it stopped sometime in 2005/2006. As of Jun 18, 2014 it has been updated to Chapter 43.

8	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; as a demon.
9
10	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 KillSat, but the biggest victory [[BigBad Phrobus]] pulled off is [[CosmicRetcon 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.
11
12	Wufei now has to deal with this new, medieval, world. Learning languages, non humans, gods, a new link to his Gundam, and a Godly Stalker. His friends back home have to adapt to life without him, a new peace, and the fact that their friendship is one that will ''never'' break.

16	----
17	!!Tropes included are:
18
19	* ActionGirl: Naiya is 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.
20	%%* ActualPacifist: Relena
21	%%* AffablyEvil: The second priest of Sharna we meet
22	* AllCrimesAreEqual: Rent and Taxes in the Purple Lord Lands.
23	--> "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.".
24	%%* [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys All Girls Want Demon Boys]]: See the Princess Charming Wannabe entry.
25	%%* AllThereInTheManual: Compare [[http://4dw.net/deathndragon/gwfic/Norfressa.htm this list of the gods]] with the [[http://www.webscription.net/10.1125/Baen/0671878735/0671878735__37.htm canon one]].
26	%%* AlphaBitch: Vaijon, as in canon. As in canon, [[spoiler:he gets better, coming to practically worship Wufei.]]
27	%%* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Sharna's followers, averted with Krashnark.
28	%%* AristocratsAreEvil: Purple Lords certainly are.
29	* AttackAttackAttack: Demons and Champions, the first because they are magically bound, the second because they wouldn't be champions if they weren't willing to [[LastStand do that]].
30	* BadassNormal: Champions don't have physical powerups, and the various knights and laypeople of an order keep up with them up to Demons.
31	* BarBrawl: Defused into Bar Arm Wrestling.
32	* BearerOfBadNews: Brandark is in the unenviable position of having to tell [[Literature/TheWarGods Bahzell's]] family about his death.
33	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: 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.
34	* BigBad: Sharna
35	%%* BigDamnHeroes: Several instances
36	** At one point Wufei is this, with [[IncrediblyLamePun an emphasis on big]] to himself.
37	%%* BigScrewedUpFamily - The Dark Gods.
38	* BoogieKnights: Mentioned. Duo left Wufei some dance music for his Gundam. Not even Wufei knows why a gundam would need dance music, and seems to be slightly afraid along with being mostly bemused.
39	* BreakingTheFellowship: Happens in the prologue, and is partially subverted. Wufei is having trouble in the new world, meanwhile back home, with the exception of a busted knee and some angst, things are going ''Very'' well.
40	%%* BreakTheHaughty: Vaijon, though he isn't directly tortured.
41	%%* ButtMonkey: Yithar.
42	* [[CantArgueWithElves Can't Argue With ''Half'' Elves]] - The Purple Lords. Argue at your own risk.
43	%%* CallingYourAttacks: Averted.
44	%%* CatapultNightmare: Gunnar yes. Wufei has to be woken up.
45	* ChekhovsGun: What are a hradani father and daughter doing in a human village?
46	%%* ColdBloodedTorture: Priests of Sharna do this.
47	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: In Universe example. Gold stitching (of a pick) on a brown field is the the sign of the Order of Torframos.
48	%%* CombatPragmatist: Invoked, and then discarded.
49	* CombatTentacles:
50	** An amorphous demon forms them with fanged mouths on the tips.
51	** Krashnark used thorny stone ones to block Sharna.
52	%%* CosmicRetcon
53	* {{Crossover}}: Between Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing and Literature/TheWarGods.
54	* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Bahzell himself, the main hero of the War Gods series. The authors like him, but couldn't keep him alive without him taking over the plot. So he dies after his final battle against Harnak.]]
55	* DestructiveSaviour: 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.
56	* DisproportionateRetribution - Yithar was seen [[BringMyBrownPants wetting and shitting his pants in fear]] demands 'taxes' early so he can put the villagers out, because they laughed at him.
57	* DoomedByCanon - Averted for [[spoiler:Yithar]], who was killed by Bazhell shortly after his introduction in canon. Sadly. [[spoiler:Averted in Chapter 32.]]
58	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Wufei knew full well he might die [[TakingYouWithMe taking out the cannon]]. The amount of destruction the exploding cannon causes, however, is credited as to why OZ surrendered. Fortunately for the story, he didn't die.
59	%%* EatsBabies: Inferred.
60	%%* EvenEvilHasStandards: Krashnark yes, he's considered something a disappointment to his parents.
61	* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily - Averted. The Dark Gods quarrel with each other, especially twin brothers Krashnark and Sharna.
62	%%* EvilSorcerer: Well, given that there's a goddess of dark magic, it's not surprising there are a lot of these...
63	%%* FaceDoodling: Mentioned
64	* FanFic: This is a fanfic, and people have written fanfic based off of this fanfic.
65	* FantasticRacism: What a hradani father and daughter doing living peacefully in a human village, given the canonical level of hatred for hradani outside their own lands?
66	* FateWorseThanDeath: Not only are they going to use your death to summon a demon that will kill all your friends and family, your soul is going to be devoured as well.
67	%%* FireForgedFriends: The Gundam pilots.
68	%%* FlashbackNightmare
69	%%* [[ForWantOfANail For Want Of Two Gods]]: Things in Orfressa are subtly different than in canon. Bahzell's story particularly plays out differently.
70	%%* {{Foreshadowing}}
71	* GodsNeedPrayerBadly - [[spoiler:even dark gods. Krashnark shouldn't have ignored his church.]]
72	* GoodThingYouCanHeal - Exploited by Wufei [[spoiler:when he busts his eardrums.]]
73	%%* {{Greed}}: One of Yithar's many unpleasant qualities.
74	%%* HeelRealization - [[spoiler:Relena]], used to avert the character-bashing common in the Wing fandom.
75	%%* HeroicSacrifice
76	* HonorBeforeReason - Wufei and Krashnark. This is why Krashnark is still with his father despite getting along with some of the Light Gods.
77	* IOweYouMyLife - Invoked by [[spoiler:Vaijon.]] Averted by [[spoiler:Wufei and Krashnark, since Krashnark doesn't expect Wufei to honor it, and he wouldn't anyway.]]
78	* InternalRetcon: Phrobus is powerful, and crazy enough, to make it a CosmicRetcon.
79	%%* InfiniteSupplies: Wufei prays that this won't happen.
80	* KillerRabbit: If a bunny came to Orfressa from another dimension, it would be a demon, and possibly this.
81	* KillItWithFire: First, kill it with your flamethrower, then purify it with fire, then finally, actually start trying to kill something with fire.
82	* MeaningfulName - Nataku means justice. [[spoiler:Tomanak, one of the missing gods, was the god of just war & justice.]]
83	%%* MedievalStasis: Averted in canon.
84	%%* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Averted with Wufei.
85	%%* MissionFromGod - This is the Schtick of Champions
86	* {{Mooks}} - There are plenty of nameless evil minions in the ForcesOfEvil, 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 [[HumanSacrifice their throat sliced open]].
87	%%* MoralityPet: Wufei for Krashnark
88	* MundaneUtility - Wufei using his strength to pull fire wood apart; not break it over his knee, but forcibly pull it apart. And channeling though his body Nataku's dragon fang to light the fire.
89	* [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg My Friends...and Relena]] - starts this way, then she's adopted, and adopts them.
90	%%* TheNapoleon: The Dwarfs, and Marfang Island Halflings. Played for laughs between each other, not an example of turning them into [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkies]].
91	%%* TheNicknamer: Duo.
92	%%* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: [[TortureTechnician The priest of Sharna]], actually almost friendly.
93	%%* NobleDemon: Krashnark and Wufei.
94	* NominalImportance: Averted occasionally. One of the authors advocates changing names in a baby name book, the other angsts over it and won't do something so unimportant. However at least one character has been [[HumanSacrifice killed]] in the same scene that he's been named.
95	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Any being from another dimension under a certain power level qualifies as a demon, even a bunny. Discussed Trope - characters wonder if such a bunny would become KillerRabbit.
96	%%* OurElvesAreDifferent - The Purple Lords, or so they say.
97	* PolarOppositeTwins: Krashnark & Sharna are identical twins. Within the Dark Pantheon Krashnark is second to only his Father in power, he is personally courageous and honorable. Sharna is a stupid mewling coward and substantially weaker than Krashnark.
98	* PoorCommunicationKills: Averted. How do you explain gods and demons and revenge to someone who doesn't speak your language? "Sharna's people fight."
99	* RefusalOfTheCall:
100	** 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.]]
101	** However, the person who tells us all champions do this at first is a Light God and only speaks of his own champions. Given that champions have to be somewhat similar to their Gods and the God chooses which of the people with potential become champions, it may only be His champions who hold themselves to such high ideals that they object on the grounds they are unworthy.
102	* RippleEffectProofMemory: 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.
103	%%* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Debateable, there's the first priest, and then the better prepared priest.
104	%%* StalkerWithACrush - Relena [[spoiler:although she gets better]] and [[spoiler:Krashnark, although he'd deny it.]]
105	%%* StartsWithASuicide: A HeroicSacrifice actually
106	%%* StupidEvil: Sharna
107	%%* TakingYouWithMe: Assuming the worst this is what Wufei intended in the prologue.
108	* ATankardOfMooseUrine - Played with. Wufei likes the beer in the village, stating it was rather like Chinese beer with taste and low alcohol content. However, Yithar pours it out on the ground.
109	%%* TemptingFate: Yithar.
110	* ThereShouldBeALaw: There is amongst the militant orders' codes, but the Purple Lords don't accept it--nor do they reject it, leaving them in a political limbo where they can ignore it.
111	** The Purple Lords don't have exclusion clauses for acts of God or Demons.
112	* TokenNonHuman: Averted, Wufei is a demon, and there are humans, Hrdani, and dwarves and humans, and Yithar.
113	* TortureTechnician: Sharna's followers, especially his priests.
114	* TrueCompanions: Time, space, dimensions: nothing can break the bonds the pilots formed with each other.
115	* TheUnchosenOne: Several people who were TheChosenOne in the original books, such as [[spoiler:Bazhell, Vaijon]] and presumably [[ActionGirl Kerry.]] By WordOfGod, [[spoiler:Vaijon]] was essentially born with the knowledge that he was going to become a Champion, [[HaveYouSeenMyGod unfortunately]].
116	* VirginSacrifice: 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.]]
117	%%* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman
118	* WithFriendsLikeThese: 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.
119	* WrongGenreSavvy: Vaijon, who, as in canon, thinks this is some normal Chivalric Romance or KnightInShiningArmor story.
