Best sue assassinations ever? by
on 2013-01-03 04:43:00 UTC

So, a few threads down, folks got to discussing some of the more... flashy ways that they've killed a sue, either in a story of their own or as a PPC mission.
So: What stories, of your own or in the PPC, have you sporked where the sue was... er... worse than dead?
I'll post an example: A long time ago, I wrote a character who could control the fabrics of space and time. She turned out to be terrible, so I later wrote a self-spork where, much to the chargin of that particular character, an otherworldly assassin who travelled through ripples in the fabrics of reality (we'll call him Derek) appeared and challenged her to a fight.
End result: reality-warper assassin jumped through a time attack that called forth past and future clones of the sue, and used his sudden super speed (because the time attack slowed down the world to allow the clones to pop up seemingly instantaneously) to kill all the clones while they weren't expecting it, and then when the attack finished, the sue was too confused to see the assassin's hands grab her neck and snap it.
After that, he disappeared into nothingness and has since not appeared again.
As Lily put it earlier: LET US SHARE WAR STORIES.
Minus the destroying of tables with bleepka mugs, of course. Unless that's your thing. -

I wanna' try something. Play along, yeah?

SC whistled quietly as he rag-dried the mugs, glasses, kegs and mason jars of his tavern. His customers were of the wackier nature, and so he had to accommodate for such.
The night was mostly quiet, save for a few folks who had wandered in and started talking, disturbingly, about methods of killing people they found particularly... well, colorful.
SC tried to pay it no mind, but gradually began thinking back to his chance encounter with that strange assassin who had helped him destroy one of his particularly bad stories.
SC recalled it all as though it was yesterday - because it was; 10:30 A.M., to be exact.
---
"So, you came from some otherwordly abyss, to...?" SC asked, standing atop the ash pile that was once a fire-breathing Sue.
"I come to undo the sins of your mind," the assassin - SC decided to call him Derek - said.
"Ah. So, you're helping me dismantle this joint, then," SC said, adjusting his glasses. "So, who do you plan to hit?"
Derek pointed to his right.
SC locked eyes with Luna, the Time Controller.
---
Strangely, SC couldn't remember anything past that, but when he recovered, there were several very dead Luna clones.
SC looked up at the sound of feral screaming.
"Hey! Mind the mess! I'm not repairing any tables!" he called to the ladies at the table near the left side of the bar. From the looks of it, they might have had a few drinks of bleepka beforehand.
((Okay, not my best opener, but I don't know each of your characters, so you guys'll have to fill in my blanks for me.)) -

Slowly the teen made her way through the steadily-growing crowd, towing along with her a badly-scarred blood elf who looked to be deathly white and suffering from a bad case of the shakes.
Caroline elbowed a person or two aside, then made her partner sit next to her at the bar before turning to SC and saying, "Veralyn needs lots and lots of booze. And I'll take a spiced chai tea, if you've got the stuff for it." -

Aneis flew back downstairs and lighted on Caroline's shoulders happily.
SC, meanwhile, looked in horror at Veralyn. "What the hell have you two been DOING at the PPC?!" he demanded as he hurried to fetch the drinks.
Aneis covered her ears so as to block out SC's vulgarity, though her adoptive father Simon proved to be far worse when he was mad. By this point, she was fairly used to it. -

"And who are you?" the teenager asked cheerfully. "Awful cute, aren't you?"
Veralyn eyed the girl warily, still shaking like a leaf and seeming too shell-shocked to form coherent words. She flinched when SC set her first mug of alcoholic oblivion down in front of her, and then chugged the drink down as though it were the first thing she'd had to drink in a solid week.
"'Nother," she gasped when she finally set it down. "Gimme another."
"Veralyn had to go through the No-Drool Tapes," Caroline explained at SC's worried glance. "She snagged a lock of Lor'themar Theron's hair on our last mission, and the Sunflower wasn't too happy when he found out."
Veralyn shuddered and muttered something about speedos before going at her second mug of... whatever the incredibly unrefined swill was that SC kept supplying her with. She didn't care. She just needed to pass out drunk for a good ten hours, and she needed to do it now. -
SC looked back at Aneis for a moment. by

"That's Aneis. Her adoptive father went and KO'd himself with Krogan Ryncol. I warned him that eating a grenade would hurt less, but why would he ever listen to me, right?" SC looked at Veralyn as she downed another keg. "Didn't take you for a fan of Orcish Brew."

"Don't care what it is," she gasped, seeming a bit winded from chugging so much. "Gimme everything. Anything you've got."
"Ver, there's such a thing as alcohol poisoning," Caroline sighed before taking a sip of her magically-appearing chai. "If you overdo it, I am not dragging you all the way back to our RC. I'll douse you with ice water and risk instant death first."
"Thought I could taste Barrens dirt," Veralyn grumbled as she started on her fourth mug. "They sprinkle a bit in every barrel, I swear..." -

A figure slunk out from a stand of trees. Ducking under the glowing window of the tavern, it crawled a few inches before standing up. A long bony arm slid from the tattered sleeve of the cloak. It looked down at a cracked, and dented watch that adornded the being's gaunt wrist. The thing swore softly, then sat down against a beer colored wooden wall. The safest time to enter a tavern is when the people(or other creatures.)inside are to drunk to see a stranger clearly. That would take another hour. Leaning sullenly against a wall, the thing decided it could wait.

SC could have sworn he felt a chill run up his spine. Although, he knew for certain that something had just landed on his head.
In his off-time, SC had managed to make it so that Simon Bellamay III, demon-slaying legend-in-the-flesh, could get out of the Sanctuary and help at the Tavern. Of course, he typically brought somebody with him for assistance.
This time, he had brought his adopted Angelborn daughter, Aneis.
SC looked up at the five-year-old (who had been five years old since Simon was born) and grinned, thus eliciting a happy flutter of little wings.

Eagrus approached the bar, Cyba, Sigma and Phi in tow.
"Hello," he greeted SC. "I'll have something from my home continuum - whatever would be best to help an agent de-stress after a particularly bad mission. Oh, and three coffees for Cyba, Sigma and Phi, please." He rummaged around under his armour and produced a handful of coins originating from several different fantasy continua. Leaning in closer, he lowered his voice and continued: "Don't mind my companions; so long as they don't notice anything red, electric blue or purple, they should be fine. Oh, and - er - why is there an angel on your head?" -

"Don't mind little missy, there. She's just a curious little bird. She's an Angelborn - they look like angels, but have more in common with birds, and age super slowly. Once every twenty human years, if I'm right," SC replied.
Aneis made a pouty face at being called a "curious bird," and flew off up the stairs to Simon's room, where Simon was trying to sleep off foolishly imbibing Krogan booze. Thankfully, Simon being shielded by the Angel of the Evening Star protected against the fatality of the drink, but not the head-splitting drunken stupor it brought on.
"Oops. I think I pissed her off," SC said. He took the cash and set it with his book for further study, and passed the drinks out as requested. -

"Awww, you upset her," moaned Phi, the least 'modded' of the three women.
"She's not a mini, you know," Eagrus reminded her. "Even if she were, I would question your wisdom given the nature of the two minis you currently have." He scratched the back of his hand subconsciously, causing a scrape of his gauntlets. Eagrus did not like Phi's minis. "Those creatures you keep in your RC, Phi - you should have done the same to them as you did to the 'Stu that spawned them."
Phi drew herself up, preparing to launch into a tirade in her minis' defence, but the coat-wearing Cyba cut in to diffuse the situation.
"It's just nice to meet someone who isn't scared out of their wits of us," said Cyba, and Sigma - the one with the webbing - nodded her agreement.
Phi swallowed what she had been going to say and made do with tossing her head. Unfortunately, she forgot about the cables she had for hair, which whipped around and promptly hit Sigma's plating.
"Hey, do you mind? I only just polished that!" complained Sigma.
"Ah-HEM!" went Cyba.
"You were going to see if you could process coffee?" Eagrus reminded them. Then he pondered his own drink, remembering he disliked removing his helmet in public. He turned to SC. "Thank you for the drinks," he said, "but please may I have a straw?"
Cyba, Sigma and Phi, who had been hoping to see Eagrus helmetless, all looked very disappointed. -

He remembered several occasions where an OC of his was dead-set against doing what people were hoping to see, and this was an odd bit of nostalgia for him.
Reaching under the bar, SC produced a blue (or "bloo", according to Contacts' bullsh*t spelling) bendy straw for Eagrus.
Attempting to draw himself away from laughing at them, SC said, "Well, I adopt some odd minis myself. My most recent is a miniature car called Mouswisker."
SC motioned at the miniature buggy gently bumping his arm.
"He's kinda protective." -

"Well, Cyba has a couple of mini-Colossi," said Eagrus, taking the straw gratefully, "but they mainly just prank you."
Cyba scowled. "Like hacking your alcove while you're trying to regenerate and swapping which body your minds are in," she muttered crossly.
Eagrus snickered, and Zouh the mini-Hun poked his head out from under the trailing fabric of Eagrus' helm to see what the fuss was about.
"Oh yes, and this is Zouh," Eagrus introduced him. "He's rather useful; we watch each other's backs. Now, there are two problems with Phi's minis: one, they're mini-Stus, and two, they're Borg... properly."
"What he means to say is that one of them stung him - not that they're powerful enough to do much - but it made Eagrus even more paranoid than he is usually," expanded Phi. "Of course, that side of them cancels out the 'Stu part nicely - well, with a bit of training - but Eagrus has this whole thing about tech and..."
"And I am trying to forget about the mission we just acquired them from," said Eagrus pointedly.
"Hey, it spawned us too!" put in Sigma and Phi.
"Yes, Cyba raised to the power of three, but driving me at least ten times as crazy," muttered Eagrus.
"Yeah, but Eagrus, you have to admit that we did a good job with that 'Stu," said Cyba.
"And then there was what came after," mumbled Eagrus, before resignedly downing his drink as fast as he could to numb the tale that was probably coming. -

"No, I'm not talking about it any further," declared Eagrus. "I'm trying my best to forget."
"He's interested now," pointed out Phi. "It wouldn't do to disappoint him and not continue."
"I'm not revisiting it," said Eagrus stubbornly.
"Then you'd best shut your ears," advised Cyba, and began the tale.
"Eagrus and I work for the Department of Technical Errors, so it's our job to go deal with bad spelling, missing punctuation and ugly grammar. It's mostly been exorcisms since I joined, but we had this Star Trek Gary Stu - you know the drill: best captain ever, gets off with every woman going, single-handedly takes on hoards without getting so much as a scratch - all the usual. Thing is, there was not much as one line of description attributed to him with regard to character or appearance, and he brought with him some really interesting spellings..."
"Borg cubed," snickered Phi and Sigma.
"One of which raised the Borg to the power of three," continued Cyba, "including one of the agents sent to deal with the 'Stu."
"Hence us," said Sigma and Phi cheerfully.
"Unfortunately for him, in his course of sending pretty much every canon character wildly OOC and thrashing every 'bad guy' he came across, I noticed a little something about his powers - immunity to weapon fire, extreme strength... Well, about the point the list expanded to surviving space without a space-suit, I had this little idea about how to weaken his unbeatable combat skill such that we could finish him."
Sigma and Phi snickered again.
"Let's say that I - er - may have tricked him into thinking he was Borg, such that his plot-warping abilities coupled with no description started - um - actually turning him into one."
"Having a powerful hive mind invading your thoughts can be VERY distracting," pointed out Phi.
"So we managed to pin him down, charge him and throw him into a recycling vat," finished Cyba.
"We figured the Borg didn't deserve a fate worse than death," explained Phi.
"And we pinched his ship," added Sigma. "Still have it, incidently."
"And then canon snapped back into place; Cyba, Sigma and Phi lost control and nearly assimilated me, and THEN I had to fly the flaming space-ship while being chased by very much in character undead villain tech monsters..." ranted Eagrus.
"I thought you weren't going to remember that," mused Sigma.
"He was going to ask sooner or later," Eagrus grumbled. "Might as well get it over with. Just don't remind me in the morning." He produced another couple of coins. "SC, you got any more of these?"
Cyba, Sigma and Phi exchanged glances, then started on their coffee. -

"I can definitely say getting punched through a wall by a jumpy as hell Eldric War-Prince hurts a lot less than what you had to go through, although if that motherf***er ever hits me again, I'll unmake him out of existence," SC said. "I do have one of my own, though. A mix of Assassin's Creed and my own tomfoolery.
"So, once upon a two years ago, I decided to write a fanfic. Mistake number one was that I was writing a fanfic, and mistake number two was letting Glasses and Specs - don't mind the names, it's what they call themselves; I have to babysit eight of these guys - help me write it. You know, because two fanbrats of the AC continuum are totally going to stick to the canon, right?
"Well, I get going in the Brotherhood period, when Desmond was beginning to see Animus-ghosts due to the trauma of being forced to live the memories locked in every molecule of his mind. At the time, I had no clue how to comprehend Revelations because AC2 had stuck mainly to Italy, and I pretty well knew the lay of the land by then. So, cue Monteriggioni, pre-you-dun-got-raeped-by-da-Borgias.
"Pretty much, Ezio was doing his usual thing - being completely unmatched both in war and sex. Problem: fricken' Specs had convinced me to make an OC Assassin that "helped" Ezio out. And right like that, Stefanio di Roma was born.
"I guess Specs believed that all white-hooded people were automatic super-badasses, because this guy could match Ezio blow for blow. Of course, all he ever did was counter-attack - fitting for a game-verse AC fic.
"So blah blah blah, Monteriggioni gets screwed over royally by the Borgias, thank you Cesare, and Ezio and Stefanio wake up in Rome. Of course, Rome is pretty accurately portrayed as being down on its luck, but that's about where it ends in terms of the fic being good.
"All of a sudden, Stefanio starts showing up Ezio in everything. Got a new base? Mine now! Your sister and mother run the local strip joint? Nope! Bartolomeo D'Alviano is the mercenary commander? Not in MY Rome! It gets worse and worse until I finally decide enough is enough and go in to end it.
"Well, that's all well and good, but what is Ezio if not a walking tank with a squad of other walking tanks? And, since this is only half my fault, I can only use half my full power, so disguises are in order. I disguise myself as a Borgia sniper - it makes sense because I suck at close quarters. Glass Cannons are like that. We can't take a punch, but Aeldra help you if you find yourself on the wrong end of our weapons.
"Which Stefanio did. It almost seemed too easy to pick him off, despite him being with Ezio, who should have alerted to me the second I aimed my rifle and put a bullet of his own in my skull. But, he didn't, and my shot damn near took Stefanio's head clean off, and with medical assistance being somewhat shoddy in the Renaissance... you get the idea. He died.
"Reality snaps back in then, and all of a sudden holy crap, I'm surrounded by nothing but white hoods! Ezio called in the cavalry on me because I killed a nameless assassin he had never met, but who was still an assassin nonetheless. I had just enough of my powers left to run like hell and get back out to the real world, but man if it didn't wipe me out."
SC drank some water. "Long story short: I don't tamper with the AC continuum anymore." -

As Simon was still clocked out upstairs, and was very much human - with a certain degree of Angel, but only in desperate situations.
And SC's nigh-godlike powers were very heavily restricted by a complicated set of rules, which he could only break in his own canons, effectively rendering him human.

SC turned around with the lemonade in hand as Simon Bellamay III (who looked like total crap) staggered downstairs.
Aneis flew over and lighted on his shoulders as he attempted to walk over to the bar - and almost made it, before tripping and slamming face-first into the hard wood floor. Aneis had jumped off his shoulders preemptively and landed gently by him.
SC put the lemonade down by the elf and hopped over the bar top to help Simon to his feet.
"Let me guess. You're heading out," SC said.
"F***, who puts a f***in' floor on the... on the f***in' floor... buncha' dumb a**holes..." Simon continued this hungover babbling as SC opened a portal to the Bellamay Sanctuary and walked him and Aneis through.
The portal closed, and SC went back behind the bar.

Captain Navare walked over to the bar as well, talking animatedly with the black-armoured woman beside him. They were an odd pair: he was tall, heavily-muscled and blue-haired, and wore a slightly modified Nanoha-verse Barrier Jacket (slightly modified as in 'a normal one with a lot of spikes'); she was short, thin, and her black armour, cape and mask hid her whole body.
“So, you see, Orchid,” he said, “my magic is more like math than anything else. That's why back home genius magi are also usually math genii.”
The woman shook her head. “Truly you come from a weird world, Navare.”
Navare opened his mouth to reply but noticed Ari. “Order me a cup of beer, will you?” he asked his partner and turned to the ex-Sue. His partner nodded and caught SC's attention by rapping her fingers on the bar.

...and an Easterling walked in, holding the door open for his three, almost identical female companions. The three women were discussing something animatedly, and from the snippets of their conversation that could be made out, it involved visitors from the future, several badly-behaved minis and a space-ship recently acquired from a Gary Stu.
"Well, we're here," said the Easterling, causing them to fall silent and properly take in their surroundings. "Welcome to the land of proper food and drink, ladies." He seemed unperturbed by the fact that said 'ladies' were all Borg, albeit one in a long coat, and another with a delicate web of wires on the more organic side of her face that did not exactly match the rest of her.
"Not the canteen, then, Eagrus?" remarked the one with the least modified appearance.
"If you want to see if you can consume coffee, Cyba, Sigma and Phi, you don't want to try the canteen. Canteen anything is not to be trusted," pointed out Eagrus.
"True," agreed the women in unison.
"Besides, I'm still recovering from that last 'Stu, and I am held to believe this tavern serves genuine Middle Earth drinks," said Eagrus. "That and there's usually good conversation to be had - if your companions don't scare everybody away, of course."

One of the benefits of not enforcing a definite currency system was that he got some unique payments. It made him something of a coin collector.
That said, he did still end up busting out his Sorcerer's Tome to try and figure out what these freaky-lookin' runes meant. -

She nodded in thanks to SC as she sipped her tea. "I'm Ari. Former badfic clone of Alicia Testarossa. Well," she amended. "I suppose now I'm sort of a program of the Tome of Morning Sky, maybe? Or the admin program of the Tome fused with me." She frowned. "What was I saying? Oh, right. So, 'they' call you Black Orchid? Who's 'they'?"

The runes, once translated, stated that the coins were struck by 'Hercine's Mage Academy'.
Navare stared at Ari's explanation, but didn't say anything. Rather, he spun a ring - it was silver, and it had a blue jewel in its middle - on one of his fingers.
"'They' are basically everyone," the Black Orchid told Ari. "I myself am not sure whether I have any other name."
( Avegaar is Kabupatenic. I'm thinking of having it have a rifle form not unlike Storm Raider's. Avegaar is Dutch for 'auger'; Navare is Swedish for 'auger'. Hence the name. ) -

"Well, I didn't have much choice in turning into this. Frankly, I didn't even know that I would end up this way, but it was my best bet at beating her ," Ari said, grimacing. She looked over at Orchid. "Well, OK then. Say, do you have any magic? Since I've been forcibly put on paperwork duty, I've been thinking of going around and collecting different magic styles and spells," she explained. "And I'm sure that I can get those without, um, draining the magical source of your power." She looked slightly embarassed.

Her...? Her...? The word echoed through the mage's head, and he began shaking uncontrollably. Partly from fear, partly from rage.
"I might do a better job of explaining... if it is fine with you, Orchid," he said, thankful for the change of subject. The black-wearing woman nodded, and he continued. "Orchid has some enchanted items - her weapons, her armour - but she also seems to be inherently magical. Look; Avegaar, if you will."
"Yes, sir," the Device said, a light pulsating inside the ring's gem in time with its speech. It displayed a complex diagram - Ari would recognise it as a mana emission test's results - in the air above it.
"As you can see, Orchid's body produces something that is equiv. to mana," Navare said. "However, she does not seem to have a Linker Core..."
At that moment, a certain duo - an Elf wearing green clothes and a human wearing an ankle-length, grey longcoat - entered the bar and walked up to Ari, Navare, and Orchid. Navare saluted, and Des (for that was the human) returned the gesture before taking a seat at Ari's other side. "Hello there," he said.
Anebrin, banging his sword's sheath so it would shut up, sat at Des' other side, saying nothing. -

Ari winced in sympathy at Narav's reaction, and rubbed the palm of her left hand. "Well, I want to try and get magic from outside the Nanoha-verse. Of course, I doubt I can do anything that requires some kind of especially weird state of existence, or that is specifically unique to a certain character like a Puella Magi's magic or Negima Artifacts," she explained. "The Tome is supposed to be able to pull apart a spell and recreate it in a way I can use. Though I doubt I could get any uberspells going, ordinary combat magic should be manageable."

"I... kinda overused my magic. By, uh, all of it. There was this Sue, see, and she was overpowered so much that literally every battle was 'Nova kills everything that moves.'" Ari glanced out of the corner of her eye, and pitched her voice lower to keep Navare from hearing. "Navare over there was recruited from the same fic. Nova's mooks cut off his arm to 'restrain' him even though every single minute made it clear that the people Navare sided with - the Nanohaverse people - were absolutely outclassed and used wimpy magic. He still managed to take out one of them, though," she added.
She sighed. "Anyways, we managed to knock out some of her tech, so I went sword-to-sword with her. Since my blade's magic, I had to keep focusing it thinner and thinner, while pushing more magic into it, so that it'd be sharp enough to actually cut her, but Sonnenstrahl - my sword- really wasn't designed to do that, so it was breaking apart in my hand the longer I went on, and Nova still outclassed me in raw power. I had to fuse myself with an incredibly hastily-made program to stay alive. Still, it was absolutely worth it when I chopped off her arm." Ari grinned. "Managed to impale her, too. And then, right at the last second, I managed to focus one of my massive Buster spells into a sphere the size of a penny and explode it inside her. Of course, I was standing right next to her."
Ari grimaced in memory. "So I basically ended up in a hospital bed for days. My magic's still recovering, but if I use too much of it I might end up crippling my ability to use it ever. So I can't go on missions right now, and I'm shuffling papers."
She shook her head, clearing her thoughts. "Heroic Spirit, huh? I've only ever seen the Nasuverse through Carnival Phantasm and Prisma Illya. Must be handy to be immune to magic, though. Once I get to actually test out whatever I can do now, I'd like to spar with you." -

"Isn't that from Game Theory? The one that Mei used?" She asked. She looked at Mike.

So the AI does it, and if they're Intelligent they can advise you for tactical decisions and such."

"Well, first off it's a version of an already-weird canon artifact called Schwertkruez. Now, that artifact works in the Belkan style of magic, which involves cartridges that give short bursts of power, but the Schwertkruez doesn't, and it only has one combat mode, when nearly every other high-quality Device has three. Even in canon it's weird, which makes sense as it's a part of a unique artifact."

"The Schwertkruez does. The Belkan system of magic involves compressing magic into a cartridge, like a bullet, before a battle. In the battle, you use a cartridge and it releases magic, giving you a boost. Plus, the Belkan system is designed for melee combat. But the Schwertkruez doesn't use cartridges, it has only one mode, and uses long-range spells, so it's a weird device for Belkan magic. Sonnenstrahl was originally a duplicate of Schwertkruez, but one with a bunch of modes that could do any-range. Most of that's been blocked, though. I have a sword mode, a staff mode, and an ax mode for combat, and for non-combat I have this cane mode and a necklace mode."

When I sporked 'Replacement Dash causes me to loathe the color blue', I initially toyed with the idea of notifying Princess Celestia and having the veritable Sun Goddess burn everything to the cloud floor. However, after some reflection (and discussion with folks on the IRC), I decided this would be out-of-character for Celestia to do and scrapped the idea.
So instead, Agent!Caroline and Veralyn brawled with the replacement, Caroline dislocated one of its wings to ground it, and then it was sedated and tossed into the grinder.
Yeah, it was one of the more brutal assassinations, but both of my agents were unarmed and this was a grimdark badfic set in a canon about friendship and acceptance. And it was incredibly satisfying. -
That was a good assassination. by

Trust me, all bronies who read your mission felt satisfied at Replacement!thou-hath-no-right-to-call-thyself-Dash's death. She was an abomination that needed to die. However, there are two that are better in my opinion.
Second best assassination would have to go to the 'Death by Poe' one. I cannot remember spesifics, but I know they yanked her into one of Poe's poems, and the poetic justice delivered was nothing short of phenomenal.
However, the best has to go to the Cupcakes assassination of replasement!pinkamina. The struggle with this crazed pony murdering replacement thing, cumulating to a quick death, something the monster never gave. The way that was written; Rainbow Dash whimpering about how she wants to go home, the snap of the agents, one strugling to keep Rainbow alive while the other has to force himself to read the charge list and not kill her immediately, and finally ending with all but one poor pony thinking it was just a wicked party Pinkie threw that they could not remember. That was very emotional for me.
(Don't forget me. Pinkimena was going to be my worst enemy, one that no matter how hard I tried, because of the fanfiction and tumblrs, just would not die. Hundreds of lives on my hands, because I was unable to stop her. She would hunt me down, with all of the forth-wall and cartoon physics Pinkie has, and a bloodlust unmatched by any creature I have ever encountered. Then, this happened. Suddenly, she was severely weakened, her source of power, gone. Further, I read the killing of THE Pinkimena, my most feard enemy. To say I cryed tears of joy...that would be the largest understatement I have ever uttered.) -

Well, I remember back in the day before I joined the PPC, I killed a Sue by having her get into a Suesicle and then shoved off Caradhras by the Fellowship.
And there are the suggestions that Consulting Sue Slayer puts out that range from a simple gunshot wound to dropping chandeliers on people to burning them on Bonfire Night so it'd look like an accident.
Also there was the one where Sherlock wanted to put the Sues in a Russian orphanage but John thought that'd be too cruel and unusual even for them. -
