We finally get out of Kratos! I've been playing the God of War Saga, and at first I though tI was too rough on him, but, come the second game, my characterization seemed justified.

Kratos/Zeus

Zeus appeared in the area in a flash of lighting.

If he didn't have the instincts of a god, he might have missed the blade that was heading right for his back.

Zeus, obviously, was a god. He caught the familiar blade by the chain.

"Hello, son." The King of the Gods said, pulling on the chain.

Kratos lunged toward him with his other blade, roaring in rage. Right when he reached the god, Kratos was smacked away by Zeus.

"Zeus!" Kratos exclaimed. "You will pay for what you have done!"

"You could not possibly be naïve enough to think you could beat me without your army of Titans." Zeus stated. Kratos didn't back away. "Now is the perfect chance for me to stop you before you become a real problem."

Kratos/Isaac

"It's strange." Isaac reported in his communicator, as he surveyed the area. "I can feel a strange power here. It's not something I'm getting in my readings. It's something I...I just feel.

"You best leave now." A voice said from behind Isaac. He turned around to see Kratos glaring down at him. "The powers of a god should only be left to those who can handle it."

Isaac scoffed. "Are you saying it should be left with the gods?"

"The gods don't deserve this kind of power." Kratos replied.

"So, you then." Isaac said. "I would take you word for it, but, now that I think about it, I think I might need that power to help me with something."

"I doubt you need it more than me." Kratos replied, pulling out his blades. "Show me if you're worthy!"

Parappa/Fat Princess

"Man, this hero stuff is tough!" Parappa exclaimed, wiping his brow. "I could really use something to munch on." He sniffed the air. "Wait...is that…?"

He followed his nose, running after the scent. Eventually, he crashed into a small person, who looked up at the dog and shouted something at him noncoherently.

"Oh, sorry buddy!" Parappa exclaimed. "I was wondering if you had any cake. I could smell it, so I figured I could maybe get a slice. I haven't eaten in ages!"

"Did you say...cake?" Fat Princess suddenly asked, turning her attention toward Parappa.

"Yeah!" He exclaimed. "Wanna share?"

"...Surrender your cake!" She exclaimed, as her soldiers readied for battle.

"How would I have cake?!" Parappa exclaimed. "I'm asking you for cake!"

Parappa/Radec

"Man, I'm really getting close to being a hero now!" Parappa exclaimed. "All I need now is a super villain to fight!" He noticed Radec, who was approaching him with vile curiosity. "Hey! Are you a bad guy up to no good?"

"That all depends on which side you're on." Radec replied, leering down at Parappa. "Do I have to be a "bad guy', as you put it?"

"Well, I just assumed…" Parappa said. "I mean, you're dressed all creepy."

"Those who are intimidated by me tend to have a reason." Radec noted, drawing his weapon. "Now, are you going to tell me what has given you a guilty conscience or am I going to have to beat it out of you?"

"Sheesh! You try to start a conversation!" Parappa exclaimed.

Parappa/Sly

"I really feel like a hero now!" Parappa exclaimed. "Well, actually, I don't think I've really done anything heroic yet." He noticed Sly sneaking around. "Hey! What are you up to?"

Sly looked at the rapper with a raised eyebrow. "...What does it look like I'm up to?"

"Well, you look like a thief." Parappa replied.

"Good. That's the image I'm going for." Sly said.

"I bet that means you've stolen something then!" Parappa exclaimed. "You better return it!"

"Actually, I'm looking for something someone stole from me." Sly said, readying his staff. "Although, if I did steal anything, I don't think a kid like you could make me turn it over."

Parappa closed his fist and looked to the side. "...I gotta believe!"

Parappa/Nate

"And what are you supposed to be?" Nate said, as he looked down at Parappa. "Some kind of chicken?"

"I'm a rapper!" Parappa exclaimed, annoyed.

"Wait, those are dog ears. You're some weird kind of dog?" Nate continued, ignoring Parappa's protest.

"I said I'm a rapper!" Parappa exclaimed, even more annoyed than before.

"...Do you know how to play fetch?"

"That's it!" Parappa exclaimed, clenching his fists. "I gotta believe!"

"...What?"

Parappa/Cole

"If I want to be a hero, I gotta find someone to give me a few pointers." Parappa thought to himself.

"Hey." Cole said, getting the rapper's attention. "Have you seen anybody with special abilities?"

"Well, there were a few people." Parappa replied. "...Are you a hero?"

"...I...I guess so." Cole replied, not sure how to respond to such a blunt question.

"Can you give me a few pointers?" Parappa exclaimed. "I'm trying to become a hero myself!"

Cole smiled a little. "Sure. How about you show me what you can do?"

"Really?" Parappa asked. "Thanks! I won't hold back!"

Parappa/Evil Cole

"If I become a hero, I bet I'll have to face some pretty scary stuff." Parappa thought to himself. "Hopefully I won't get too scared."

"Why's that?" A voice suddenly asked. Parappa jumped back in shock as Cole glared down at him, an evil smirk on his face.

"W-Well, I'm gonna need to be brave to face scary people." Parappa stuttered. "Scary people like you!"

"I am pretty scary, aren't I?" Cole commented. "I've done some pretty scary things. How would you stop me?"

"I'd fight you!" Parappa exclaimed, clenching his fists. "I gotta believe!"

"Then show me!" Cole exclaimed.

Parappa/Ratchet and Clank

"A good hero always has a sidekick!" Parappa exclaimed. "I wonder how I can find a good sidekick?" He noticed Ratchet and CLank walking past him. "Hey!"

Ratchet turned around. "What is it?" He asked.

"Are you a hero?" Parappa asked.

"Well, what do you think, Clank?" Ratchet asked his robotic partner.

"I doubt you need me to tell you if you're a hero or not, Ratchet." Clank commented. "You know very well that you are."

"Right. Just wanted to hear you say it." Ratchet replied. "Why do you ask, kid?"

"How can I find a good sidekick?" Parappa asked. "Like yours!"

"Hey! Clank's my partner, not my sidekick!" Ratchet exclaimed.

"What's the difference?" Parappa asked.

"Let us show you!" Ratchet exclaimed, pulling out his wrench.

"I was just asking a question!" Parappa exclaimed.

Parappa/Jak and Daxter

"Hey, kid!" Daxter said to Parappa from Jak's shoulder.

"Huh? What's up?" Parappa asked, noticing the duo.

"Where's your sidekick?" He asked.

"What?"

"You know, your sidekick!" Daxter exclaimed. "Furry guys like us always have sidekicks!" He paused. "Although I guess you're more flat than furry…"

"I don't have a sidekick." Parappa replied. "Is that big guy your sidekick?"

"You bet!" Daxter exclaimed. "Jak's the best sidekick you can have in all of Haven City!"

"Sure, Dax." Jak replied.

"Really?" Parappa asked. "He looks more like the hero then you…"

"What!" Dax exclaimed. "I'll show you who looks like a hero! Jak, show him how heroic I am!"

I feel like some people might be out of character, or the fights might start out of nowhere. It's hard to start a fight between some of the more peaceful characters. Just go with it.
