Boss Fight

In the Chawosaurian world, a **Boss Fight** (also known as an **epic fight**, **boss battle**, **epic battle**, a **ballistic fight**, or a **David and Goliath** fight) is an epic battle between two equally strong or really important opponents. A boss fight is described as a battle that is difficult and too extreme to win but it is still an eventually winnable battle for either opponent. The term "boss fight" was originated from a description as a really important battle between a super warrior and an enemy warlord, best found in the Xbox One video game, *Halo Infinite*, where UNSC *Master Chief Petty Officer* John-117 (b), commonly known as the Master Chief, engages in boss fights with prominent military leaders of his new enemy: the Banished; including his most badass boss fight in the game, or in Chawosauria by the more Chawosaurianized term as the **ultra boss fight**, with the Banished-Jiralhanae warlord by the name of Escharum.

A war can also be described as a boss fight, for example, a scenario war between the United States and China would be a boss fight war considering they are both superpowers. World War II between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany is widely described by Chawosaurians as an ultra boss fight between Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. In politics, an election can also be seen as a boss fight, it is widely said that the 2020 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump may have been a boss fight election by Chawosaurian political and historical observers, though a scenario 2016 or 2020 election between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump was widely thought to be an ultra boss fight given their populist reputations and subsequent movements that they've build in 2016; in the United Kingdom just across the Atlantic, there was an ultra boss fight being the 2019 British general election between incumbent Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, it was an ultra boss fight because Johnson being noted as "the British Donald Trump" and Corbyn being "the British Bernie Sanders", but such a scenario ultra boss fight between Trump and Sanders may wouldn't have went in Bernie Sanders' direction because Johnson defeated Corbyn in a landslide, Johnson won 365 seats for his Conservative Party and Jeremy Corbyn only won 202 seats for the Labour Party, Johnson gained a large swing of seats from Corbyn, many of which were from Labour's core region known as "the red wall", and the results of that British election may have partially helped ensure Bernie Sanders' catastrophic defeat in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States at the hands of the moderate Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden. In sports, American football SEC games between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs are always generally regarded as a boss fight. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort engaged in prominent boss fights throughout the later Harry Potter series, but their ultimate boss fight was the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. In wrestling, Stone Cold Steve Austin engaged in prominent boss fights with Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) and WWE boss Vince McMahon.

Shang Jong Parker, incumbent Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria since 2020 and former Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria who served back in the 1990s, has engaged in two boss fights with two prominent Social Democratic leaders, George Windsor and Sydney Lucas Webster, in the 1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections and the 2024 Chawosaurian midterm elections, respectively. In 1995, an election to elect the 19th Chawopolis Palace, Parker suffered the decisive indignity for a communist Prime Minister the loss of the USSR in 1991 and with him being the parliamentary communist leader, he was widely expected to lose the 1995 election in 1945 style to the Social Democrats led by George Windsor, but Shang Parker was blessed with the talent of being a master strategic thinker who can get himself out of, or gain control of a hostile environment, and acutely aware that the 1995 Chawopolis Palace election was a hostile climate for Parker, he quickly spotted a way to change the narrative, which is the collapse of Apartheid in South Africa, which Parker publicly embraced in exchange for the support from Black Chawosaurians, who ended up giving Parker and his communists a surprise victory in the 1995 elections, thus continuing Communist Party dominance in Chawosauria and humiliating the anti-communists into submission.

In the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine became widely seen in Chawosauria as a boss fight between Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russia's Vladimir Putin. Ukraine had been seemingly winning the war against Russia since the first day of the invasion; Russia expected a Kabul-style takeover of Ukraine and a universal welcoming from the Ukrainian people, but the invasion quickly turned into a clusterfuck to Russia's shock and confusion, President Putin and the Kremlin quickly learned that the Ukrainian people actually hates Russia so much that the Ukrainian people and their armed forces launched a brutal and bloody resistance against the Russian Armed Forces, effectively stopping Russia from taking over Ukraine or having any chance at possibly doing so because of a very unfriendly Ukrainian population who will not take Russian subjugation very lightly which would be a problem very familiar to the United States (Iraq War). The Ukrainian people have put up quite the fight against confused Russian soldiers who were expecting hugs from the same people that are literally trying to kill them. It was so bad for Russia that the invading Russian forces turned out to be poorly trained and underequipped which is a testament of how Moscow so didn't expect a bloody Ukrainian pushback. Stunned and taken at back, Russia resorts to desperate measures, launching a desperate war of attrition in an effort to quell the Ukrainian resistance by carpet bombing the country into submission, yet Ukrainian resistance persist and Russia continues to stumble and the frequent carpet bombing of Ukraine may have been backfiring on Russia, spurring vengeful grief amongst Ukrainians which further worsens the Ukrainian resistance against Russia than the Kremlin needed it to be, a very similar problem the United States prominently experienced during the War in Afghanistan, which for every insurgent killed would only add fuel to the insurgency. By failing to conquer Ukraine, Russia is left stranded in an unwinnable protracted conflict and leaving Moldova sitting comfortably protected by a still-standing Ukraine from its east and a NATO Romania from its west, had Ukraine fell, Moldova would've been vulnerable. Realizing that Ukraine is unconquerable despite they're a smaller nation than Russia even by population, Russia abandoned their conquest plans and changed strategies to focusing snatching only the Donbas region from Ukraine because it is a primarily Russian-speaking region in the eastern part of Ukraine.

## Definition of a Boss Fight

A boss fight is a fight between two equally strong or equally important or respected opponents with high regard. A boss fight is a really intense fight that is difficult to win though it is still a winnable fight for either challenger.

## Characterization of a Boss Fight

To win a boss fight, it must be an immense struggle for either opponent. The winner had to struggle immensely either against an opponent whose winning prospects were actually pretty strong, in some cases stronger than the eventual winner, or be a neck-in-neck fight between two highly respectable opponents.

In politics, during the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Joe Biden dealt with an immensely tough boss opponent in President Donald Trump, who unlike Biden, had an extremely loyal following of millions of Americans who wouldn't abandon Trump no matter how wrong he's done or said, and the fact that history was against Biden as very few challengers like him are successful at toppling an incumbent U.S. President; as was recently demonstrated in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, where challenger Mitt Romney came significantly short at beating President Barack Obama, losing to Obama savagely with 206 electoral votes against Obama's 332 electoral votes in the electoral college and a weak popular vote showing of 47% to Obama's 51%, showing how scary of a journey running against a sitting President can sometimes be. But what tipped the 2020 election in favor of Biden is Trump's arrogance, his subsequent unpopularity and his slow response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which ruined the U.S. economy and the American way of life, resulting in Trump losing to Biden by a margin of 306-232 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote won by Biden to Trump's 47%, a repeat of 2012, making Biden one of the fewest to have successfully unseated a President to become President himself. Biden has said repeatedly that he'd run for reelection in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, and Republicans should be aware of the immense challenge toppling Biden can be as explained above with Obama, Donald Trump has said that he'd challenge Biden for a rematch, but history shows that rematches don't go well for the previous loser except for President Grover Cleveland who luckily won a rematch presidential election back in 1892 due to a strong third party challenge.

In sports, during the 2021-22 SEC season, Alabama's Crimson Tide and Georgia's Bulldogs had a boss fight in which Georgia had a dominant year in 2021 but in one game with the Tide, the bulldogs lost by a margin of 24-41 on December 4, but in the final game with the Tide, the Bulldogs landslided the Tide 33-18 on January 10th, which was truly the boss fight of the 2021-22 SEC season yet.

The 1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections was a true boss fight. After suffering the public and historic infamy and political indignity of losing the Soviet Union to a newly-risen western world order following the end of the Cold War, which the loss of the USSR was so bad that the fall of the Soviets was called "Parker's Saigon", Shang Jong Parker and his Chawallian Communist Party were widely expected to lose control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace for the first time since taking over it in the immediate end of World War II, and to put it frankly, Parker was universally seen as "imperially fucked" and was widely expected to not finish his prime ministerial term at all. If Parker loses, his opponent George Windsor, Chawosaurian Leader of the Opposition back then, will become Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria by January 1, 2000 instead of fellow communist Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII replacing Parker for after his prime ministerial tenure expires on December 31, 1999. Engaged in a boss fight election between himself and George Windsor, a powerful social democratic leader of the Social Democratic Labour Party, Shang Parker found opportunity of political life in South Africa, where the Apartheid system in South Africa was finally crumbling apart due to domestic and international opposition; a racial segregation system that mostly negatively impacts Black South Africans, who are the majority race in South Africa living in a white minoritarian state, Shang Parker calculated that if he publicly endorses an end to Apartheid, he could win over Black Chawosaurians, exploiting the Social Democrats' fear of alienating their white working class base. Parker executes his strategy by publicly coming out against Apartheid and supported the anti-Apartheid resistance in South Africa led by Nelson Mandela, who would be released from prison and negotiated with South African President F.W. de Klerk, to end Apartheid and allow multiracial elections in 1994, ultimately won by Nelson Mandela and his African National Congress, becoming President of South Africa himself. Universally hailed as a big success for Shang Jong Parker, he gained universal support from Black Chawosaurians and expecting defeat, Parker and his Communist Party unexpectedly won the Chawopolis Palace elections of 1995, shocking everyone including George Windsor as well as dealing a major blow to his prime ministerial hopes and laying the ground for future Prime Minister Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII to become Prime Minister in 2000 and serve until 2009.

## Origin of the term "Boss Fight"

The word "boss fight" comes from those from Halo Infinite. It became a popular term in the 2020s. In boss fights from Halo Infinite, the Master Chief (John 117), also known as "the demon" by Covenant species and maybe The Banished, has engaged in boss fights with The Banished's leaders and warlords including Atriox, who at the beginning of Halo Infinite defeated the Master Chief by throwing him off a UNSC ship and was found in space by a Hispanic UNSC carrier pilot and they perform missions on Zeta Halo to prevent The Banished from firing it.

### *Halo Infinite*

The story of Halo Infinite, to those familiar to the Halo series, starts with The Banished attacking the UNSC spacecraft called the Infinity, resulting in the defeat of the ship, the loss and scattering of UNSC personnel and the leader of The Banished by the name Atriox encounters the Master Chief, a Sierra Spartan numbered 117 decorated as a petty officer, the Chief fights Atriox but puts up an underwhelming fight that Atriox throws him into space where he floated for six months until he was rescued by one of the refugee UNSC pelicans from Infinity, pelican called Echo 216, which was actually stolen by a UNSC mechanical engineer who escaped the UNSC Infinity to avoid death.

Chief and Echo 216 stumble upon a ring world called Zeta Halo, one of the rings designed by the ancient technologically advanced race (now extinct) called the Forerunners, to kill off all organic life in the galaxy as a starvation tactic against a parasitic but intelligent disease called the flood. Chief insisted a hesitant and morale-lacking Echo 216 that with The Banished now in control of Zeta Halo, they need to go the ring to stop The Banished and liberate the ring to protect the human race from potentially facing the ring's wrath once The Banished possibly activates it, though the ring was damaged by The Banished's battle with the UNSC Infinity. The Chief then goes to interfere with a Banished ship, retrieves an AI from a nearby location close to Zeta Halo, and then goes to the ring to stop The Banished from repairing it and then firing it. The Banished occupation of Zeta Halo was led by a war chief named Escharum, who when every time he communicates with Chief, he always comes across as arrogant, cocky, and unlikely to be smart, a final trait that proves his undoing.

The Banished attempts to kill the Master Chief, but their efforts prove ineffective as they always end up on the wrong end of the stick with the Spartan as he repeatedly kills off their battalions and their leaders, steals their weapons in the process, and gain access to their dossiers on the ring that are crucial to his mission. Escharum decided to take matters to his own hands and sends in his "Spartan Killers" to take out the Master Chief, however even that didn't work as the Spartan ironically kills them, so much for "Spartan Killers"; frustrated and impatient, Escharum decided to take out the big guns by sending in his blademaster to get the Spartan, who then decided to strategically kidnap his transporter Echo 216 to lore in the Spartan, knowing the Spartan will try to rescue him, which though the plan worked, it also backfired as the Spartan ends up killing the blademaster and eventually Escharum in two separate boss fights, successfully rescuing Echo 216, but Escharum, refusing to give up, demanded a rematch with the Spartan but he was too gravely wounded and exhausted to even stop him and then died in the Spartan's arms after telling the Spartan to tell the Banished that he died well; by toppling Escharum and killing off their battalions and high ranking leaders, the Spartan left the Banished crippled and their ability to control of Zeta Halo now in question. The Master Chief then charges on for the Harbinger to stop her, who sought to use The Banished to release a species called The Endless, which Chief discovered during his raid on the ring. The Spartan arrives at the ancient Forerunner chamber called the *Silent Auditorium* where the Harbinger would be, but before facing her, the Master Chief fights off desperate Banished reinforcements and then fights and defeats the Harbinger as well in another boss fight, and escaped from the crumbling Silent Auditorium. Chief and his AI accidentally time-traveled to days later through an escape slip space portal that appears during the carnage, landing Chief and his new AI on an unknown location on Zeta Halo and luckily landed on Echo 216's tracker that was looking for them and even luckier, Chief and his AI were way too close to Echo 216's tracker, enabling Echo 216 to easily find them, relieved of their survival after their strange days-long absence, Echo 216 happily picks them up, and the trio continue on their battle against a now weakened Banished, with Echo 216 now overcame his fear of war and excited to help the Chief and his AI who just named herself after being called "the weapon".

In the legendary cutscene of the game, Atriox is alive after speculation of his death, and he releases The Endless, making a second Halo Infinite likely. It is no question that Atriox would be embarrassed to know that his own military cult couldn't take down the Spartan that even his underling leaders, even Escharum, could not defeat him.

## Ultra Boss Fight

The **Ultra Boss Fight** is a battle between two leaders or in Halo Infinite though the term itself may not exist officially in the Halo community, a boss fight between the Master Chief and a powerful enemy leader whether it is Escharum or one of the Covenant's High Prophets.

### Background

In Halo Infinite's Escharum boss fight, Escharum completely loses his mind as his Banished forces failed to take down the Master Chief in every encounter with the Spartan, so Escharum decided to make matters into his own hands and take the Master Chief down himself by ordering the blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai to kidnap the Spartan but instead kidnapped the Spartan's transporter, Echo 216, hoping that the Spartan will come for Echo 216 to rescue him, which plan was successful, the Chief comes to the House of Reckoning, which was Escharum's headquarters and where Echo 216 is being held hostage, and then took down Jega 'Rdomnai in a separate boss fight. Once Chief finds Echo 216 in a torturous captive state, Chief orders his new AI to try to free him, but are interrupted by a clearly mentally deranged and visibly arrogant Escharum that tells the Spartan right before fighting him that their looming boss fight will fade into a legend only if Escharum wins which really reveals his level of arrogance and his mental instability should highlight to viewers and players the psychological affects of war life; but what was also exposed in the boss fight, Escharum's health had been declining, something the Chief and his AI may have already noticed from his holographic messages to the Spartan and his audio recordings that can be played in the game by the player, Escharum's poor physical and mental health are both weaknesses anyone who fights Escharum can exploit only if they're smart to weaponize Escharum's failing health and deranged mental state to their advantage, though it is still a risky and deadly strategy. The Master Chief and Escharum start their boss fight, the Spartan destroyed his four shield relays, making him vulnerable to the Spartan's bullets since Escharum's health is already in bad shape so he can overwhelmed if the Spartan keeps shooting at him, however, once the Master Chief destroyed Escharum's final shield relay, Escharum goes so berserk that he took out his gravity hammer to kill the Spartan and goes on a chasing rampage against Chief to kill him, but eventually, the Spartan gives the final shot to the still-raging Escharum, seemingly plunging Escharum to his death, giving Chief time to free Echo 216 and he succeeded, but Escharum arose at least barely and demanded a rematch from the Spartan, but Escharum was obviously exhausted and mortally wounded, and he falls into the Master Chief's arms, where a dying Escharum concedes that his death is approaching but predicts his death will inspire future generations to join the Banished and told Chief to tell these new generations that he "died well" right before gasping his final breath and then dies. A confused Echo 216 questioned Chief for holding Escharum in his arms despite being a monster, which Chief acknowledges that Escharum was a monster, but also tells Echo 216 that at the end Escharum was only a soldier hoping that he had served his cause with honor, and then Chief, the AI, and Echo 216 left to their next destination, the Silent Auditorium to fight the Harbinger.

Lincoln opposed the expansion of slavery to the west though opposed to slavery in general, while Douglas was a hardline supporter of slavery. While Lincoln was mythicized as a staunch opponent of slavery, it is still a fact that Lincoln was the President of the United States who forever abolished the entire institution of slavery mainly as an attrition strategy to weaken the American South's insurgency into submission because slavery was the beating heart of the southern economy and slavery did serve as the blood streams of the overall U.S. economy at the time. While the role of slavery in the American Civil War is being a subject of debate, it is still a fact that the first southern states that formed the Confederate States of America have specifically used slavery as a justification for leaving the union of the United States in 1861. It is debated by some Chawosaurian historians whether the 1864 presidential election between President Lincoln and Union General George B. McClellan to be a boss fight. General George B. McClellan is also rumored to be related to Chawosaurian Prime Minister Theodore A. McClellan, though no evidence to back such claims.
