One great 'Percy being a badass' fanfiction is 'Percy Jackson: The Badass Avenger'. In this story, Percy uses his skills and powers in really cool and unexpected ways. He takes on powerful enemies all by himself and shows his true strength.
One example could be when he single - handedly takes on a horde of monsters in a fanfiction. His water powers create massive tidal waves that sweep away the foes. Another instance is when he uses his wits and sword skills to defeat a powerful, new - created villain in a fan - made adventure.
In certain fanfiction stories, Hermione is portrayed as a spy in the dark wizard's lair. She has to blend in, gather intelligence, and escape without being detected. She uses her wits to deceive the dark wizards, and when she's finally discovered, she uses her combat magic to fight her way out. This shows her as a really badass character, being able to handle such a dangerous and complex situation all by herself.
In this fanfiction, Hinata could be badass in a way that she challenges the village elders directly about Naruto's banishment. She argues that Naruto has been the savior of the village multiple times and his banishment is unjust. As she does this, she also showcases her new and improved combat skills, which she has been secretly honing, to intimidate those who oppose her and show that she will fight for Naruto's return.
One possible fanfiction could be where Goku is faced with an otherworldly entity that he can't sense or understand. This makes him scared as his usual confidence in his power is shaken. Maybe it's a being from a different dimension that defies all the rules he knows about fighting.
One reason could be the popularity of both characters. Writers want to combine two well - loved anime heroes. Another reason might be the similarity in their underdog - turned - hero stories. Naruto was an outcast in his village at first, and Goku was a low - class Saiyan. So, by making Naruto Goku's reincarnation, it gives a new twist to Naruto's character development.
You can focus on their emotional bond. For example, show how Goku's pride in Gohan's growth and achievements affects their relationship. It could be about Gohan seeking Goku's approval and Goku being there to give it wholeheartedly.
In these fics, Sakura often becomes badass through intense training. She realizes that she needs to be stronger to change things in Konoha or to prove herself. For example, she might train under a mysterious master or in isolation, like in 'Sakura's Solitary Training' where she spends months alone in the forest, honing her skills.
One common scenario is when new and powerful enemies emerge. Goku will immediately position himself between Gohan and the threat. He'll use his body as a shield if necessary. Another scenario is when Gohan is training and pushes himself too hard. Goku steps in to make sure he doesn't overexert and get injured. In some fanfictions, when Gohan is exploring new places, Goku follows closely behind to protect him from any unknown dangers.
