Valkyrie Profile: All Us Feathers
Hell, I haven't even finished Valkyrie Profile yet, but I already wrote a parody of certain events in the middle of the game. It was BEGGING to be parodied.
Yeah, some spoilers... you'll want to be on Disc 2, at least.

(SCENE: A dark, dank cave, oddly two-dimensional. A silver-haired woman in armor is walking into the cave, when she strikes a large crab.)

VALKYRIE: To my side, my noble Einherjar!

(poof! poof! poof!)

ARNGRIM: Again? Seems like I'm always running out here to save your ass.

KASHELL: Honestly, bitch, bitch, bitch. It's a pain being the feather next to you.

YUMEI: Hey, guys, could we maybe concentrate on the monsters? Mystic Cross!

(All the giant crabs are blown away.)

ARNGRIM: What the hell for? It's always the same thing. We get called out to deal with monsters, you cast some spell, they die. Why the hell do I bother carrying around this twelve-foot-long sword anyway?

KASHELL: In case we need to pole-vault over something?

ARNGRIM: Oh, shut up.

YUMEI: It's not like you have room to talk, Kashell. We could surf on yours.

VALKYRIE: Yo, noble Einherjar and all that. Shut up! We've got monsters to fight!

KASHELL: Eeeep! Yes ma'am! Right away!

ARNGRIM: Suck-up.

YUMEI: Yeah,  that's why he fights all crouched down like that.

ARNGRIM: Why, he can't lift his sword?

YUMEI: No, so he can kiss Valkyrie's ass.

KASHELL: Damn you, SHUT UP!

VALKYRIE: ALL OF YOU shut up! Get back in my wings!

(VALKYRIE continues on into the cave. Suddenly she comes across the body of a dead sorcerer, with his spirit standing next to it.)

SPIRIT: Warrior Maiden! I tried to seal the cave, and I failed...

(KASHELL, LLEWELYN, and JELANDA pop out of VALKYRIE's wings.)

VALKYRIE: No, no, it's not a fight. Calm down.

JELANDA: Can't I burn him anyway?! Huh? HUH?

LLEWELYN: No! Geez, calm down!

JELANDA: Can I at least throw my scepter at him?!

VALKYRIE: No.

JELANDA: Aww.

(KASHELL appears to be scrutinizing the body closely.)

VALKYRIE: Kashell, is there a problem?

KASHELL: Uh, no... I was just wondering...

VALKYRIE: What?

(KASHELL pokes the dead body.)

KASHELL: Can you pick this up and throw it?

VALKYRIE: I don't know yet. I'll try in a moment.

SPIRIT: H-Hey!

JELANDA: Hey, you never know. We might HAVE to throw your body somewhere in order to win the game.

KASHELL: It's happened before.

VALKYRIE: Pipe down! I have to talk to this spirit to advance the plot and get a key item!

(Everyone pipes down.)

VALKYRIE: Okay, you were saying?

SPIRIT: Well, um... I was trying to save us all... to close the cave...

VALKYRIE: Get to the damn point. I only have a hundred or so periods left.

SPIRIT: So... you have a hundred... months?

VALKYRIE: ... What?

(JELANDA turns bright red.)

JELANDA: Um... um... never mind that! Not months! Not that! Never mind!

VALKYRIE: Jelanda, what is WRONG with you?

JELANDA: I'll tell you later!

VALKYRIE: Right. Anyway. I don't have long, so just hand over whatever it is and I'll let you get back to haunting your dead body.

(The SPIRIT hands over a key.)

VALKYRIE: Great. Thanks.

SPIRIT: Hey, aren't you going to take me with you? You're supposed to claim people when they die!

VALKYRIE: I claim HEROES when they die, not failures. You can't be very important anyway, you don't have a huge facial graphic.

SPIRIT: ...

JELANDA: Or a name.

KASHELL: Or a sword bigger than your torso.

SPIRIT: Oh, thank you VERY much. I died trying to save us all! Isn't that even a LITTLE heroic?

VALKYRIE: Well, yes, but let's not get carried away. The Gods say you're not an Einherjar, so you stay here.

SPIRIT: Damn!

(CURTAIN.)

COMMENTS: Well, the game DOES get harder than I make it out to be in the first half... anyway, this is just a collection of random gags, but I like it fine. ^_^
