Family Unfriendly Death / Fan Works

Characters that die a Family-Unfriendly Death in Fan Works.

---

• Ace Combat: Equestria Chronicles: Many, many examples:
  • The first story has griffon soldier Greyback getting fried by the Burning Talon's laser, reducing him to a charcoal statue that crumbles to dust as it falls from the sky. Also, Blueberry's death. Another (unnamed) pegasus gets his wings ripped off mid-air and falls to his doom, spraying blood all the way down.
    • The sequel doles out even more, fitting the bleaker tone compared to the original. One scene even has the Princesses annihilate an Exile army closing on the Crystal Empire with their magic. Celestia's spell vaporizes much of the Exiles as they all scream in terror and pain, not even leaving ashes behind. Luna's attack slams the survivors into mountains.
• Always Visible: Delia dies because her uterus is removed. Compared to the gory deaths from the original film, this seems rather over the top.
• Although not described in detail, the death of King Andrias in the Amphibia Dark Fic Amphibia Friends, which involved an enraged Anne crushing his skull, is still very disturbing, even though he deserved it after brutally torturing Anne, Marcy, and Sasha.
• The Bolt Chronicles: Duke is splattered all over the road after being run over by a truck in "The Blood Brother."
• The second-to-last episode Children of Time ends with the murder of 17-year-old Beth Lestrade: shot twice and then crushed to death by Professor Moriarty. (The other two deaths of the three-part finale are also shootings, with the horror of it implied but not described in detail as Beth's is.)
• Beyond Birthday's victims in Constant Temptation tend to die horribly since Beyond is canonically rather fond of taking people To the Pain first and experimenting with new ways to torture people.
• In the first installment of the Deliver Us from Evil Series, Dr. Watson shoots a prisoner criminal in the heart, then burns the corpse and stays there until it's burnt down to ashes so that he can scatter them on the Thames.
• In Diary of an Analog, Darkdramon lives and bleeds this trope for all its worth in an otherwise T Rated fic that doesn't diverge too much from otherwise canon typical violence in every other regard except for him. Several key factors is Darkdramon's Immortal Digicore which can allow him to survive wounds that would flat out kill everyone else, his Healing Factor involving cannibalizing other living beings, human or Digimon alike, and then there's the fact when he kills Toshiko in particular, he drains the life out of her, reducing her to a bleeding mess of bile and organic material being absorbed directly into Darkdramon's Digivolution into his final form. Not only that, but considering how hated In-Universe Darkdramon is for his crimes, nobody wastes time with using lethal force against him, as demonstrated by WarGreymon in Chapter 22 immediately using his Dramon Destroyers against him, which Darkdramon vomits up his Digicore into the horizon just as WarGreymon butchers half of his body and decapitates him afterwards. This isn't even getting into the plan to reintroduce Darkdramon later as Chaosmon, who is nothing short of a Body Horror Eldritch Abomination even by standard Digimon definitions.
• In the Digimon Adventure 02 Dark Fic Digimon Adventure 02: The Story We Never Told, Yukko Oikawa, in his first appearance to the kids, kills Ken Ichijouji with a gesture, as he had outlived his usefulness to him.
• Doctor Who: Plastic Murder features a variant Auton known as a Seducer. Its preferred method of killing? Drowning its victims in molten plastic as it kisses them. Its predecessor, Plastic Nightmare, STARTS OFF with a girl falling into a vat of plasmatically charged plastic and being ripped apart, molecule by molecule. She's eventually reborn as a living, non-Auton mannequin.
• Downfall: Rukia's epic showdown with Aaroniero. In the course of the battle Rukia is burnt, impaled on a sword, and nearly disembowled. Aaroniero himself is stabbed through one of his heads, given just enough time for his other head to ask 'What?- Wh' before Rukia ripps her sword out through it too. Then Rukia herself succumbs to her injury.
  • Of course, this happens in the original as well
• In The End of Ends, Beast Boy gets killed and we see a picture of his corpse, in which there's been a hole blown through his chest. There's also Galfore, who gets blown to ashes (or rather Windows Movie Maker Shatter effected to death).
  • The Friendship is Failure version of this story includes these by the gallon, namely to the cast of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but the most infamous of the lot is when Count Logan, the result of Beast Boy's aforementioned death, outright decapitates Flurry Heart because the author wanted Princess Cadence to suffer for being Happily Married.
• The Friendship Test The deaths of the Mane Six sans Rarity.
  • Applejack is electrocuted and burnt.
  • Rainbow Dash is beaten to death with a metal rod.
  • Pinkie Pie chokes on toxic gas.
  • Twilight Sparkle drowns.
  • Fluttershy is fatally poisoned.
• FIRE! (DarkMark): When Franklin Richards is made believe that Doctor Doom has just killed his family, he makes Doom's body implode within his armor.
  That was only an instant before meat and matter exploded through the eye and nose-slits in Doom's armor, through his mouth, through whatever minute openings there were in his metal suit. With it came blood. Lots of it.
  The entire process took only a few seconds. When it was done, not much remained within the armor except liquid and bone fragments. The metal was very hot to the touch.
• Hellsister Trilogy: During "The Apokolips Agenda" story arc, Doctor Fate blows Satanis' head into chunks. This action happens right after The Spectre rams his arm through Trigon's chest, blowing the giant demon up.
• The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic "If You Can't Beat 'Em, Eat 'Em" is said to have a particularly gruesome fate for the big bad in the works. It hasn't been written yet, but has been confirmed to several close friends. If you don't want spoilers, look away now. Champagne, the former eating champion is exposed for a set of murders and after he tries exposing Josh, Rainbow Dash, and Meowth as the true murderers with doctored video, Josh snaps and chases Champagne towards his awaiting plane. The unicorn stops in his tracks to laugh at them.... only for the jet engine to start up and suck him in, turning him into Pink Mist right in front of all 3 and leaving the grisly remains for the rest of the town to find. Dash and Meowth's reactions are to projectile-vomit and Josh collapses as the town approaches him for an explanation.
• The first indication as to the true extent of Imperfect Metamorphosis's Mood Whiplash comes at the end of the first chapter, when Rumia is graphically consumed and dissolved by Rin Satsuki, the Blob Monster.
• At the climax of the Fog Car in Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail, Chloe dies from Simon — who is now a large dragon called Destruction — drops her from a large height. The descriptions don't help; her skull was cracked open like an egg from the impact.
• The Pokémon: The Series fanfic Latias' Journey is a particularly gory and brutal story with a vast majority of the cast being killed extreme ways. Some particularly brutal deaths include most members of Team Rocket being devoured by undead monsters with Vicious' face chewed off by his own mask, the superhero-fied Drew's head explodes, Deoxys massacres all of the world's leaders including Professor Oak in a giant spiked crusher, Meowth is eaten by the mutated Chimecho and visibly digested before Pikachu and Wobbuffet, the extremely graphic deaths of Lord and Lady Ho-Oh (though the latter deserved it), both Bayleef and May are murdered by a zombified Latias with their brains and heart destroyed, Gary's Umbreon goes mad till her body bursts, Zorro and his team succumb to Deoxys' manipulation over time and space, and eventually the whole world dies - until Squirtle performs a big Cosmic Retcon.
• The author makes no secret that Equestrylvania is meant as a horror story, but at the same time, it kept a number of characters from actually dying... right up until Dirt Nap gets burned to death by a demon he sold his soul to. Of course, before that, Applejack and Rarity crushed a few mad dogs underhoof.
• By the bucket load in My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic. Discord, Titan and Nightmare Moon get blown up. The deaths of Titan`s henchponies get handwaved with the excuse that they were just artificial beings. Worst example is probably in My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic II, where Cadance's brother Fratello gets killed by her and then blown up, because the author wanted to make her suffer.
  • On the heroes' side, Twilight Sparkle gets shot/stabbed through the heart and explodes because the author hates Twilight for what she teaches (and also to punish Cadence more). As if that weren't enough, Starfleet and Celestia proceed to blame her for her own death, so it's family-unfriendly on a post-mortem level as well.
• In Naruto Vengeance Revelations, Taliana is killed off by being beaten up, set on fire and torn limb from limb. According to the author, it was caused by the girlfriend she was based off of breaking up with him.
• The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: The battle between the new Bearers and Sharp Point's gang is full of these, including multiple cases of Slashed Throat (via a sword), Gutted Like a Fish (also via a sword) and one Impromptu Tracheotomy when Night Blade rips out a pony's throat with his teeth.
• Poké Wars. Where to begin? For sheer gorn, there's the entirety of Poké Wars: The Exigence. For sheer terror and grossness, there is Officer Jenny being graphically dissolved by a Muk.
• The Pony POV Series has a few, though the majority are in the past or in the Bad Future.
  • G1 Mimic was killed by Discord turning her bones to glass and slamming her into the ground as supersonic speeds until she wasn't anything that could be identified as her. Discord drove the Flutterponies into extinction by turning them into a butterfly collection while they were still alive. He also ate his own brother Destruction alive.
  • Strife killed nearly all the surviving G3 Mane Cast (though they were going to fade away into the new world anyway, she just wanted to give them a chance to be Defiant to the End) in this fashion, impaling Wysteria, followed by electrocuting Spike. Thistle Whistle shatters all her bones in a Heroic Sacrifice against her and finally Star Catcher/Celestia is impaled on a spear made of chaos (though this only killed her mortal form).
  • Due to the abundance of Body Horror in the Bad Future of Dark World, this is obviously the case, but of note is the fact Fluttercruel is a Serial Killer who takes after Cupcakes!Pinkie in how she kills her victims. Fluttercruel herself dies (the second time) by being blown in half by an accidental Yin-Yang Bomb. Ironically, Discord himself meets his (mortal) end in this fashion after being impaled by his sister Rancor's Concept Killing Spear. He eventually implodes into his wound.
  • Sweetheart's sister Cream suffered from locked-in syndrome as a result of the disaster that ended G2 society, and as such was unable to defend herself when a pack of mutants created by the disaster tore her apart. Applebloom's Cosmic Retcon undoes this due to Sweet Heart now having healing powers due to being mutated by the disaster and curing the locked-in syndrome, averting this fate.
  • When Patch left Film Critique to his Karmic Death at the hooves of his formerly brainwashed harem, they proceeded to hack him to death with swords (Thankfully, offscreen).
• Rise of the Galeforces: The Big Bad, Mr. Ludlow, incites the wrath of the tyrannosaur triplets by shooting their well-meaning father's eye, and later shoots Violet in the back when she thinks she's disposed of him. Violet gives the baby T.rexes the green light to kill Ludlow, and they promptly and brutally rip him to shreds, spilling his innards all over the place.
• Takato's death in the Tamers Forever Series. Not because it's super violent, but because of how long the author draws it out and makes the readers desperate for Takato to survive by making it clear exactly what he has to live for.
• The Lion King Adventures has quite a few of these.
  • Scar's murder of the hyenas in Friends to the End.
  • Hago being stabbed in the chest with his own staff in The Return of Hago.
  • Tara's guts exploding in My Immortal.
  • The Family of Blood melting to flesh and organs in The Blood Line.
  • Wafu's head being bitten off by the creatures and Binamu being impaled in Survival.
  • Aibu getting eaten in The Chase.
  • The corrupted Tojo being stabbed by Tama with Hago's staff in Tojo's Tyranny.
  • Nyoka being stabbed in The Evil Serpent.
  • The slaughter of the hunters by Simba, and Tama's head being bashed in with a rock by a freaked out Haiba in The Lost World.
  • The End features multiple gruesome deaths at the hands of the Writer. Though with the exception of Ugaidi, they all come back:
    • Ugaidi's soul is burnt by the Writer's arrival.
    • Zazu has all the bones in his body crushed.
    • Sarafina's soul is burnt.
    • Haiba is impaled.
    • Nala's neck is snapped.
• Sonic X: Dark Chaos has loads of them.
  • Cosmo's older sister Galaxina has her head shoved into a ruptured fuel line by Tsali in a flashback
  • Venus commits suicide by impaling herself.
  • Tsali graphically tears Molly's limbs off with his powers and then shoots her in Episode 68.
  • Tails gets the worst one of them all at the end.
• The Seven Hunters: Chapter 37 sees three members of the gang brutally slaughtering threehorn children in order to use their screams as a distraction to save Dein.
• Struggle for Dream Island: Before The Final Conflict's happy ending, most of our beloved inanimate characters get these. A list also shows the details below.
  • In The Beginning of the End, the original BFDI contestants have unknowingly died in an unpleasant way during the 10 year gap.
  • In Investigation, Remote gets killed in Bomby’s explosion after trying to dissolve the fire on his fuse.
  • Tree got burned alive by a flamethrower in A Desertic Occasion.
  • The masked person mercilessly kills Grassy with a chainsaw until he becomes a pile of grass.
  • When the missiles and the nuke hit the city in An Old But Dangerous City, Cloudy and Pie might have perished in there.
  • In Struck Out, an anvil came out of nowhere and hit Basketball in the head while she was explaining about Lollipop. In a disturbing moment where she begins developing large cuts in her black stripes, she deflates after the impact.
  • Eggy got vaporized by a laser in The Fight Before The Storm.
  • In Base Attack, Gaty got devoured in the hands of Lollipop and Donut. Donut also got his body ripped apart by the masked person as purple liquid begin to squirt out in the inside.
• Super Mario RPG Legend Of The Five Pendants, a Fan Sequel, has a pretty disturbing death and game over scene. Namely, Mario gets shot by firing squad before the game cuts to his funeral with his friends and relatives crying over his corpse in an open top coffin. Cartoony, but certainly a potential way to traumatise any younger Mario fans. Here's a video.
• Sadie's in Total Undead Drama. Storm tries to drain her normally but due to her physique had trouble taking all of her blood. So he hangs her upside down from the cave ceiling like a hunk of meat to drain the rest out. This and blood loss lead to her human death.
• In crossover fanfiction The Vampire of Steel, Supergirl throws M'Nagaleh into an Antimatter planet. Upon contact with the anti-matter atoms, M'Nagaleh's whole body falls apart and explodes.
• Redwall canon is pretty violent, but fanfics take it to a new level. Vengeance Quest has the Mercy Kill of a character about to be raped to death, let's not get into What Lies Beyond the Walls, and It Makes Me Happy That I'm Not Them's point-of-view character is sent to Hell and forced to live through what he did to his many victims, over and over and over, in detail.
• When the Wind Blows Alternate Ending: Civilians are violently melted together from the heat of the nuclear explosion, and children are described as bloating from the radiation and combusting. Eventually, after being forced to eat some of the bodies of the deceased to stay alive, Jim shoots Hilda in the back of the head with a rifle to spare her the pain of realizing help will never come, and dies himself not long after of radiation poisoning; cradling his wife's body in his arms as he's utterly consumed by despair.
  Inner Voice: Old Jim died clutching his beloved wife to his dying breath due to radiation poisoning. But what he ultimately learned was that when you die... nothing happens.
