| - The villain has many goals, but one is absolute: his nemesis bowing before him. That would mean his certain and total victory. If the villain is on the right end of the sliding scale, he may even get his way. But generally, once the demand has been made, one of three things will happen: 1.
* The hero will say "Never!" and there will be a big fight, leading to the villain's defeat. 2.
* The hero will say "Never!" and the villain will zap him with magic, knocking him to his knees, or Mooks will step in and manhandle him to the floor. This will allow the villain the fun of gloating for a while... and then there will be a big fight, leading to the villain's defeat. 3.
* The hero does what he's told, but the villain suddenly gets a big surprise as the hero springs a trap, starting a big fight leading to the villain's defeat. Needless to say this is frowned upon by the Evil Overlord List. For possible reactions to this demand, see Ain't Too Proud to Beg and Defiant to the End.
