"People are dead! THEY'RE DEAD! You killed them! You die with them!"-Vash the Stampede

Don't know if these can rightly be called battle cries, but here are some of my favorite fightin' words.

"This is the Commonwealth Navy Destroyer Indefatigable. You have commited an act of piracy and are in breach of Maritime law. Surrender your vessels or face the consequences!"

"Indefatigable, I am transmitting you the coordinates of Hell. Suggest you go there. Over."


By the way, the only thing I can think of that matches the "Your ass is now mine" line is this:

"Dreadnaught - welcome to the Peace conference. And welcome to SecPat. I am SecPat’s only Admiral... I hope your former commanding officer made it clear that for now Security Patrol is an autonomous military force - and completely unconnected to the Commonwealth or Indie navies."
"Yes sir, she did."
"Good."
"Does that mean I answer to you for orders?"
"In words of one syllable, your ass is now mine. Do I make myself clear?"
"I understand now sir - I am speaking to Admiral...?"
"Yarwood. But you can think of me as Admiral God."

Banzai Nippon!

"We Deal in Lead Mister!"-Steve McQueen, The Magnificent Seven

"Hoka Hai!"-Crazy Horse (Another one those Klingons love to steal from us humans, translation: It's a good day to die)

More like a JAVELIN

The Javelin replaces the Dragon ATGM in U.S. Army Infantry and Special Operation Forces (SOF) units. It is aimed by a battery-operated, forward-looking infrared (FLIR) command launcher unit (CLU) that sees the heat signatures of men and vehicles. Once the target is within range and "locked on" by the missile's seeker head, the missile can be launched. No firing signature shows from anywhere, including from the inside of building or bunkers, vehicles such as the Humvee, or the top troop hatches of M113A3 Armored Fighting Vehicles. Once launched, the missile requires nothing more from its soldier or paratrooper launcher as it flies on its own to strike from the top down where enemy AFV armor is the thinnest. What many do not realize is that this means that, once acquired by the FLIR CLU, slow flying aircraft, such as helicopters, can be shot down by the Javelin.

Nice Rocket Launcher!

Some of the best battlecries I've heard are in fact from the lyrics of Bal-Sagoth, a British heavy metal band who have made an entire fantasy universe as a setting for their songs. (of course, it would help if their vocalist's growling was intelligible more than 30% of the time, but you can't have your cake and eat it, can you?)

Here's some examples if you don't believe me!

"There is no ignominy, there is Glory! There is no servitude, there is Dominance! There is no defeat, there is Victory... VICTORY ETERNAL!" - Draconis Albionensis

"Imperial Cavalry, advance! Ride them down!" - The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire, Part II: The Dark Liege Of Chaos Is Unleashed At The Ensorcelled Shrine of A'zura-Kai

"Though this day we may die,
Our legend shall live forever."
- also from The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire, Part II: The Dark Liege Of Chaos Is Unleashed At The Ensorcelled Shrine of A'zura-Kai
(amazingly enough, Bal-Sagoth claim that they DO NOT deliberately attempt to make their song titles as long as possible!!)

"Onwards with our spear-heads gleaming,
Meet them with cold steel a'cleaving,
Fall only when our hearts cease beating,
Men of Hyperborea."
- The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath The Blazon Of The Hyperborean Empire, Part II: The Dark Liege Of Chaos Is Unleashed At The Ensorcelled Shrine of A'zura-Kai.... AGAIN!!

"The clarion of battle beckons me. Emperors and kings shall perish 'neath my blade, for I have a throne to usurp! Into the thick of the fray!" - Naked Steel

"O' grim gods of battle, empower us this night,
Anoint us with the crimson rain, feed our steel with slaughter...
Let every blow be a killing blow, grant us victory or a warrior's death..." - To Dethrone The Witchqueen Of Mythos-K'Unn

"Bleed for the gods of war! Flesh to sate the worms! By this sword I rule!" - The Ravening

"A seething forest of blackened blades, a churning sea of ebon war-chariots, a searing storm of flaming shafts - All this havoc and more shall I unleash against my foe... Into battle! The Legion shall march... the fall of Gul-Kothoth is nigh!" - And Lo, When The Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel Of The Obsidian Crown

"The dreaming is over! Now, let the vengeance begin!" - The Voyagers Beneath The Mare Imbrium

I particularly like the last one.

"Hey - Ho! Lets go!" S:AAB.

Oi! Oi! Oi!
