Monster: ROOOAAARR!
Vassal: Runs up to the monster. Hah! Take this! Attacks the monster with a boomerang.
Monster: Collapses.
Vassal: Catches the boomerang. Did it! That wasn't too difficult!
Villager: Thank you so much for stopping the monster; it was ruining our crops!
Vassal: Don't mention it! I'll take this monster back to the mountains now!
Villager: Wouldn't you like a reward?
Vassal: No thanks! See ya! Carries the monster away.
Villager: What a kind young man...
Vassal: Drops the monster in the mountains.
Monster: *growl*
Vassal: So, you ain't got my shovel either, huh? *groan* Man, all these monsters look the same... I'm never gonna find it... Sees a shack nearby. Huh? What's a house doin' up in the mountains? It looks old; maybe it's abandoned... Goes inside. He sees a girl sleeping in a chair. A girl? I wonder if she got lost...
Girl: Zzz...
Vassal: (She's kinda cute... I wonder if I should wake her up...?) Pokes her face.
Girl: Wakes up. Hm...? Rubs her face. ...eh?!? Backs away. W-who are you? What are you doing in my house?!?
Vassal: This old shack is your house?
Girl: For the time being... Until I find a better place...
Vassal: Do you live alone?
Girl: Yeah, I ran away from home...
Vassal: Why?
Girl: Because my fa-... wait, why should I tell a total stranger something like that?!?
Vassal: Oh, right... My name's Vassal, what's yours?
Girl: Serena...
Vassal: That's a nice name.
Serena: Thanks, I guess...
Vassal: Now that we're acquainted, now can you tell me why you ran away?
Serena: Just because you know my name doesn't mean you aren't a stranger!
Vassal: Then let's be friends!
Serena: You really want to know that badly...? Fine... My mom was killed by a monster, so now I'm looking for it...
Vassal: But your father is probably worried about you. You should go back.
Serena: No way! And what about you? What are you doing all the way up here?
Vassal: I'm looking for something I lost.
Serena: Did you run away from home, too?
Vassal: No, my parents are dead.
Serena: Oh... I'm sorry...
Vassal: It's okay, I don't even remember them.
Serena: I see... Gets up. Well, I'd better go look for that monster again... Heads for the door.
Vassal: I hope you make it back home safely!
Serena: I already told you, I'm not going home! Leaves. Jeez, he was such a pain... Oh well, it's not like I'll ever see him again...
Vassal: Jumps down in front of her. Hiya!
Serena: What the?!? What do you want?
Vassal: Are you really going to fight that monster all by yourself?
Serena: Of course!
Vassal: But you don't have any weapons...
Serena: So what? I know martial arts.
Vassal: Oh, that's cool. I wish I knew martial arts...
Serena: So if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way. Walks away.
Vassal: (Will she really be okay?)
Serena: Sees a wounded monster lying on the ground. Huh?
Monster: Grr...
Serena: Who did this to this monster? Was it Vassal...? *giggle* No way, couldn't be!
Big Monster: Flies down towards Serena. RROOOOAAAARR!!!
Serena: W-what the; is that it's parent? Wait, that's... the monster that killed my mom! Gets into a fighting position. I'll finally avenge you, mom! Haaa! Runs towards the monster.
Big Monster: Hits her with its wing.
Serena: Ahhh! Hits the ground hard. O-ow... You're tougher than I thought... But I won't give up! Tries to get up, but falls down. M-my leg... I can't move!
Big Monster: Inhales deeply.
Serena: T-that's what killed my mom last time! Covers her head. NO!!!
Big Monster: Shoots a blast of water at Serena, but something blocks it.
Serena: ...huh?
Vassal: Protects her with a parasol. Hey!
Serena: V-Vassal?
Big Monster: RROOOOAAAARR!!!
Vassal: There you are! You have something of mine that's important to me... Throws his boomerang at it. So give it back!
Big Monster: Gets hit with the boomerang. ROOOAARR!!! Whacks a shovel with its tail.
Serena: Catches it. A shovel?
Vassal: Thanks for catching my shovel for me. Takes the shovel from her and defeats the monster with it.
Serena: W-wow...
Vassal: That takes care of that... Yes, I finally got my shovel back!
Serena: Wait, the thing you were looking for was that shovel?
Vassal: Yep, it's a special shovel my grandpa gave me. It's my most powerful weapon!
Serena: Weapon? (Then again, he did defeat the monster with it...) A-ah, that's right! Now I can finally kill the monster for what it did!
Vassal: Wait, kill? Isn't that going a little too far?
Serena: Of course not! It deserves it for what it did!
Vassal: But wouldn't you be doing exactly what it did to your mother? It's a living thing too...
Serena: ... Kicks the monster.
Big Monster: Grr...
Serena: ...you're right... Maybe I should just go home...
Vassal: Your father is probably worried about you...
Serena: Yeah...
Vassal: ... Sees something glowing near the monster. Huh, what's that? Picks it up (it's a treasure chest). I wonder what's inside?
Serena: Open it and find out.
Vassal: Opens it, which causes a bright light to come out.
Vassal/Serena: AH!!!
