Parody #1: Star Wars Episode III + Holy Star (by DNA)
The galaxy of Pokebeach was inhabited in the beginning by users of a strange power called the Force. As you might very well imagine, the Force is like a life energy that permeates all things, and all people to some degree or another can utilize this Force. By itself the Force is neither good nor evil, but there are those who have tried to use the Force for their own destructive means, trying to gain ever more power in their mad quest for domination. There have also been those who have fought against these evil men...and died for it as a result. The Force has been host to all this, bringing in triumph and tragedy. This story...is one of great tragedy.
I really wanted a "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." but this is ok. I don't know much yet, just some info on the Force.
On Pokebeach, a war had broken out between the noble Jedi warriors, more commonly referred to as ‘moderators’, and the Sith, or ‘spammers’, the latter of which were only intent on causing widespread destruction and chaos, while the former was intent only in keeping the peace and stopping their madness. The moderators had the upper hand in the war, but they wanted to put an end to this fight as soon as they could. Two of these people, Water Pokémon Master and Holy Star, were especially determined. They had received data of a flagship that was housing several prominent members of the spammer army, who were holding a very prominent moderator, Kevin Garrett, captive on their ship. WPM and Holy Star then each took separate fighter jets and took off towards the spaceship, sneaking in stealthily as to avoid attention. They managed to infiltrate the ship successfully, even reaching all the way to the bridge, where they found Kevin being held hostage by the infamous Count Sonicmoj, who the two of them had fought before but unfortunately had escaped from their grasp. Holy Star, however, was going to make sure that Sonicmoj wasn’t going to escape again, and so the two of them fought in an epic duel. Sonicmoj was quickly forced into a corner by Holy Star, however, and after Holy Star had disarmed Sonicmoj, he had asked Holy Star to just finish him off, to which Holy Star happily obliged.
Lol. So Holy Star is Anakin because he turns bad... I like it. But I still think WPM should be Yoda. But that's just me. :3
After rescuing Kevin Garrett, Kevin told both WPM and Holy Star how grateful he was that he was rescued, but that there was also another threat aboard this ship – General Waterboy, who had caused the moderators no end of trouble during the Thread Wars. WPM and Holy Star nodded and found Waterboy at the bridge, but Waterboy sent his two bodyguards against the two moderators to stall for time, while he programmed the flight computer on a crash course before fleeing in an escape pod himself. The two bodyguards were soundly defeated, and fortunately WPM was able to bring the ship to a relatively safe landing as it crashed back to Coruscant.
I'm enjoying this.
When the three of them landed, Kevin told Holy Star that he would be glad to give him any advice and counsel that he might need, so that he might become a better moderator. Holy Star accepted the offer graciously as Kevin returned to his seat of authority in the moderator high council. Holy Star took those words to heart, because there was someone he desperately wanted to protect above all else – his wife Amt. He wanted absolutely no harm to come to her, and wanted to keep her safe no matter what the cost, and so he decided to ask Kevin what a good course of action would be.
Its funny because Amt is so much younger than Holy Star, yet Padme is a lot older than Anakin in the Star Wars series.
Above all else, Holy Star wanted to keep Amt from ever getting warned – he wanted her standing to be perpetually perfect without a single warning smear on her record. And when Kevin invited Holy Star to a high-end play (for which he had reserved special seats), Holy Star took the opportunity to ask Kevin that question. Kevin had slightly anticipated the question and answered accordingly – that there was a way to keep people from ever being warned, but that you could not learn it from a moderator.
Don't....break....YPPY....
Shortly after this, there were reports from the moderator high council that there were a few agents of the spammers in the governing body of the day, potentially even planning to usurp the authority of the moderators. All the moderators were required to attend a Skype summit where the news was relayed, so that they would be constantly on the watch. After the meeting was concluded, WPM met up with Holy Star and noticed that he’d been spending quite a lot of time with Kevin Garrett, more so than usual. Holy Star responded that he just went to Kevin for advice on a few small matters. WPM responded that, although there was nothing wrong in and of itself getting advice, Kevin was a politician, and therefore was inherently a sneaky person, so he asked Holy Star to keep on his toes. Holy Star brushed him off, saying that there was no way Kevin would do something like that, to which WPM sighed before they both went about their business.
Foreshadowing...
The next time that Holy Star met up with Kevin, he noticed that Kevin was acting a bit more suspiciously than normal – asking Holy Star a few probing questions about his personal life and how some of the moderators, possibly even WPM, would never really grow to accept him as one of their own. Holy Star responded that he was wrong, but Kevin responded that he could already see the doubt in Holy Star’s eyes. In that instant everything clicked, and Holy Star realized that Kevin was an agent planted by the spammers to try and influence the moderators. Holy Star threatened to report Kevin upon which he’d be ousted forever, and Kevin told him to do what he pleased.
Don't fall into his trap, Holy Star! Just tell WPM! Go!
Holy Star wanted to confide in WPM all that he’d heard from Kevin, about how he was a potential spammer agent, but he was unable to tell WPM, because he was away on a mission, saying that he had finally tracked down General Waterboy and was going to put an end to him once and for all, thereby eliminating a major spammer, tipping the balances even more in the moderators’ favor. The fight was long and hard, but WPM finally managed to corner Waterboy and soundly defeated him with a solid ban, both strong and permanent.
The fight wasn't really THAT hard. ;p
In the absence of WPM, Holy Star decided to tell Porygon, a close friend of WPM, about how Kevin was possibly a plant by the spammers. Porygon responded with great surprise – Kevin was a very trusted member, and although he had his doubts about whether or not Kevin could be a spammer, what he had heard from Holy Star had removed quite a bit of his doubts. He asked Holy Star to accompany him so he could finish Kevin Garrett for good. However, once he got there, Kevin proved to be too strong for even Porygon, but Porygon was still able to at least incapacitate Kevin. Porygon asked Holy Star to deal the finishing blow and ban him for good, but Holy Star couldn’t bring himself to do it, as Kevin had shown great kindness to him. Kevin took advantage of this weakness by attacking Porygon, causing him to be permanently banned.
Porygon was black?
Holy Star, being overcome with grief on how he had caused one of WPM’s closest friends to no longer be around, was unsure of what he should do. He couldn’t face WPM anymore, not after what he had done. Kevin then told him he could make up for that by working for him – although Kevin himself was allied with the spammers, he wasn’t in any position to take down the moderators for good...but Holy Star was. If he used his power and influence just so, he could deal the deathblow to the moderators for good. In the meanwhile, Kevin himself would help to instigate ‘Order 66’, an operation in which spammers from everywhere would invade and swamp Pokebeach, making the moderators incapable of handling all the spam threads, and dwindling their numbers to a small few. Holy Star accepted the offer, since he had nothing else to live for, other than keeping Amt safe, which Kevin promised to do.
I want to know all of the names of the spammers.
As soon as the rest of the moderators heard that Kevin was a turncoat, they had to stop him by any means necessary, and so they sent one of their best and brightest moderators to do the task – that moderator being PMJ. When PMJ finally encountered Kevin, Kevin remarked that his plan to destroy Pokebeach would be unstoppable. PMJ asked what he meant, and how he could possibly hope to stop him. Kevin responded that he’d acquired a new student who would become more powerful than either of them. PMJ questioned this rabble, but all the same he fought against Kevin Garrett with all his might. Yet Kevin had grown too strong even for PMJ to handle, so he had no choice but to retreat and enlist the aid of WPM to stop Kevin himself...if he could even do that anymore.
I am so rusty when it comes to remembering Star Wars.
In the meantime, while PMJ was fighting against Kevin, Order 66 had been enacted – a flood of spam topics and spammers had invaded Pokebeach, overwhelming the moderators to the point where they simply could not take all of the stupidity anymore, and several of them either bowed out temporarily or were crushed under the weight of the spam. At the same time, Holy Star had gone to find where the new members to Pokebeach joined from, and, to make sure that a new wave of moderators could not arise to stop the spammers, he slaughtered each and every last one of them. Eventually, it got to the point where the only moderators left to stop the spammers were WPM and PMJ. They looked for other potential moderators to help their cause, and to call the other ones out of hiding, but it was no use – when they got there, they found they had all been banned. PMJ responded that the way they were banned could only have been the work of a moderator...and in that moment WPM suspected Holy Star. He had to stop him at any cost.
Again, I would love to see threads and spammer names, but that is a lot to ask for.
Holy Star, after slaughtering all the other potential moderators, had gone to Amt to tell of all the wonderful things he’d done for her – now that the other moderators were gone, there would be no way that she would ever be warned again. Amt hated the idea – the thought of banning innocents and forcing out other moderators wasn’t going to help anything; it would just drive everyone away. Amt replied that she’d heard from WPM that Holy Star had gone over to the side of the spammers, to which Holy Star said that simply wasn’t true. When WPM himself appeared, he realized how much of a threat that Holy Star was, and told him to step away from Amt – that there was no need for her to be wrapped up in this war. Holy Star responded in defiance, and said that he was destined to rule over Pokebeach just the way he wanted, and that she would be totally safe. WPM responded that his goal was crazy and dangerous, and that he would have no choice but to stop Holy Star himself.
Although I can tell it was rushed a bit and it is definitely based off of Star Wars, the writing is good. It flows decently and the grammar is excellent.
And so the two old friends fought against each other, with Holy Star trying to bring down Pokebeach from the inside and station himself as the overall head, and WPM trying to stop Holy Star’s delusions and restore Pokebeach to its former glory. The fight raged on and on, with neither of them having a clear edge over the other – until they shifted their duel environment over hot lava; one false move and either of them would be dead. Holy Star then got overconfident and lashed out at WPM, but WPM took advantage of the weak point he’d just created and pushed Holy Star away, incinerating his profile. He then leapt away from the lava, and, with a look of regret on his face, left his old friend to be banned.
:[
Holy Star would have been totally dead and with no hope of being brought back were it not for Kevin coming to rescue him. He got a proxy server set up, allowing Holy Star to come back into Pokebeach, and began to restore his profile to what it once was. The process was successful, but when Holy Star finally regained consciousness, he had found out that Amt was no longer a moderator and thus was in danger of getting warned. Holy Star had once again lost his purpose for living as he destroyed even the proxy that Kevin had given him in utter rage.
Lolol at proxy server. That is great. And Amt was in danger of being warned. What about Amt having two kids and dying lol?
Holy Star did ultimately come back and was restored to some small favor, but he was constantly being watched over by the other moderators, that WPM had fortunately been able to restore again. His reputation was never quite the same after he’d turned against WPM, and the two of them were estranged for the rest of their days. Pokebeach had been restored again, and most of the wounds from this great spam war had been healed, but because WPM’s trust had been betrayed by a close friend, Pokebeach as a whole would never be the same again.
Ending is ok. It doesn't follow the Star Wars ending. Yeah HS came back, but he did get banned again. And its not like Vader came back.
Overall, I give it an 8/10, good work!
Parody #2: Inception + Secret Spoon (by Yoshidude10)
On the website known as the Pokebeach forums, a courageous member, now a moderator, known as safariblade, fooled the entire forum on April Fool's Day of 2011. Safariblade and another recently modded member TheDarkLucario work together to target the gullible members by writing "Secret Spoon" on the top of the home forum page to trick the members. Safari and TheDarkLucario's jobs, ordered by a manager of a business company, dmaster, are to plant the idea in every members' minds that they can become a moderator simply by figuring out an answer to the "Secret Spoon." Safariblade's dead wife, Bellomence, tries to stop safari's plans by giving him nightmares and stopping his efforts to harm the poor gullible members of Pokebeach. Safariblade had been sent out of the U.S. for charges of murdering Bellomence, and tries to reach her in a dream to find the true answer of her death. Dmaster also wanted to get rid of his competition in the process, who was known as Water Pokemon Master. Water Pokemon Master was the father of the forum, and apparently his son Shining Raikou would take care of the forum when he died, and WPM did not like the idea of safariblade playing a super spammy joke on the forum and making his forum look stupid compared to others.
Lol. There is good and bad here:
Bad: TDL didn't help me. Also, I did not put that on the banner, but whatevs. It works for the story of Inception.
Good: The whole dmaster/WPM/SR thing is brilliant.
Safariblade also created a team to help him succeed in this mission, and chose three people known by the names of palkia dialga clash, Juliacoolo, and PMJ. PDC is a very intresting person who wants to go down in history as a helper of the biggest prank in Pokebeach history, and PMJ and Juliacoolo are close friends that would do anything to help safariblade. dmaster also wants in on the joke to make sure the joke goes just as planned. WPM soon dies, and Shining Raikou flies to New York City to deliver his body. During the flight, safariblade captures Shining Raikou and safariblade takes him and his team into Shining Raikou's dream to learn more info on his plans to take over the forum and oppress everyone. They enter his subconscious level one and find themselves in a factory with signs that say "SR Rules, stop safariblade now." Shining Raikou's military subconscious factory workers attack dmaster and the team, and dmaster is severely wounded, while the team is taken to his subconscious level two, a vast city.
DMASTER CANNOT BE WOUNDED, FOOL.
Palkia dialga clash then temporarily disguises himself as n00bnerd, Shining Raikou's godfather, to find WPM's will and who he would give the forum to, and then finds the forum is supposed to be given to safariblade after his prank succeeds. Juliacoolo remains driving in the streets of Shining Raikou's subconscious level two, while Safariblade and PMJ enter Shining Raikou's subconscious level three for more information, and end up in a hotel. They then travel deeper into the dream for more info on the future of the prank, and they enter a very deep subconscious level of Shining Raikou. Safariblade meets Shining Raikou and encourages him to join him in his mission, but Bellomence appears and sabotages their plans together by shooting Shining Raikou, therefore killing him. Juliacoolo's awful driving forces them even deeper into the dream, where they find themselves trapped in a limbo, a place where reality is not recognized.
lol @ n00bnerd.
And I don't even know Bellomence haha.
PAHAHA JC's awful driving. Also, some of the Inception plot is messed up. They are not in Limbo at this point. But whatevs. :3
Safariblade then confronts his wife Bellomence's projection, and Bellomence encourages him to join her and his kids in her world, after revealing to the shocked safariblade that she committed suicide. Safari refuses her offer and then confesses that he feels it was his fault that she committed suicide because of how unhappy he made her in the past few years. They share a special dream about their life together and safariblade convinces her that her world without him can't be real. Bellomence and safariblade then make up, and Bellomence allows safariblade to continue with his prank. Bellomence returns to reality and realizes she is still dreaming, and needed to die in order to wake up. Bellomence then committs suicide again and wakes up from her dream, and realizes safariblade is still in the dream. Safariblade continues to search for dmaster after his team escapes the dream.
After revealing to me? I already know she committed suicide. I was there.
Yeah this whole paragraph is wrong. Bellomence is not real or alive. She is a projection of my dream. I kill her in the dream, therefore, I get over my guilt. She never wakes up or kills herself again.
Safariblade eventually finds an aged dmaster in the dream, and they work together to find out what their purpose for entering the dream was. Safariblade then remembers they needed to pull the biggest prank in Pokebeach history, and go through a series of kicks, or sudden shocks, to wake themselves up, and they eventually escape the dream to find themselves in a helicopter. Safariblade returns to the U.S. and goes to Pokebeach.com on his computer. He finds a bunch of members congratulating him, and he realizes he had succeeded in his mission. He shows his children and his wife Bellomence all of the comments everyone had made, and meets up with dmaster, PMJ, PDC, and Juliacoolo in New York City. Safariblade had successfully completed his mission, and became known as the biggest prankster in Pokebeach history.
Lol thanks! But there is no catch in the end like in Inception?
I give this one a 7.5/10. I love it, but there are some plot mistakes that make an Inception fan like myself cringe.

I will edit my comments like this. First impressions are that it is nice and long. I hope for a good read!
Troll by Troll, the young Holy Star fought. He was a pink for the Pokebeach Republic, which fought for peace and justice against all trolls and bad spellers. He’s been trained by the best. A young man named Jon, who joined him in his latest battle against Count SONICMOJ, the master of them all. Count SONICMOJ had been hiding a long time and had now taken residence in a battleship in the sky. And this is where our story starts.
I really similar intro to DNA's, but that is to expect. There is really no other match except Holy Star + Star Wars.
Holy Star and Jon shot through countless waves of battle fleets to reach the headquarters of Count SONICMOJ, before they entered with the headquarters with a bang, literally. They ran through the ship, killing all the spam bots and trolls in sight. Quickly reaching the quarters of SONICMOJ, to their surprise, their friend, Porygon was being held captive by the Count. Jon and Holy Star instantly sprang into action, and after a very long duel, the Count crippled Jon, leaving Holy Star to defeat him. Holy Star, infuriated by the Count’s actions, quickly took his own means of action against him, and defeated him, making him no longer a threat. Porygon and Holy Star picked up Jon and darted out of the ship. But first, they checked the Count’s wallet for loose change. Inside they found some secret plans and some bacon that had escaped them the first time.
You both used SONICMOJ and Waterboy haha. (But there are no better choices imo.)
When arriving back at their home planet of Republic Feedback, Holy Star was pictured as a hero, but the battle was not over, General waterboy escaped and was now hiding in the outer rim. We could talk about that, but it’s boring. blablabla General Waterboy died :O by Jon’s Ban Hammer.
No. You need to talk about that. :[
So a little bit later, well more like 3 months, Holy Star decided to go surfing the beach’s epic waves with Porygon. They had some fun, grabbed some coffee, and it was an awesome day, right?
WRONG! Holy Star discovered Porygon’s secret identity; the leader of the Troll Brigade. Holy Star was uber freaked out by what had happened, and fled the country. Okay, maybe not the country. But he told his friend, the Pimpwalkin’ Matteo Johnson.
Randomness is good.
Matt was considered a much better troll slayer than Porygon, so he would take on the trolls leader. They have a thumb war, best 24 out of 47. Because he’s just that awesome, Matt wins!! Not all is fine however, as Porygon begins writing encrypted messages in the sand, most of it involving a spoon. Porygon failed however, so he kicked Matt into the hot dog vendor.
Being the evil villain that Porygon is, its only fair that he gets to control one of the main characters right? Yeah, I agree. Lets give him Holy Star. The TL;DR version of this event, Holy Star becomes maniac. Crazy maniac with no friends.
I would've liked some more Star Wars structure, but whatevs.
Somehow Holy Star came to his senses and decided that the bacon tasted good, and they would never get rid of all the trolls. Unfortunately, he joined them and wiped out all of the good Green and pink Jedi. Using the small staff members he forced them to build the greatest weapon in history a large Space Station, named the Delete Star. The Delete Star was capable of destroying the whole solar system.
As awesome as the Delete Star is, lets forget about it right now. We’ll be going back to the original villain, Porygon. Hope you folks are alright with that. If not, tough.
There was a mew. This mew was cute, and it held a spoon. This mew’s name was cute mew. Fitting, don’t you think. He fights the trolls with a spoon, because spoons are for mews. One terrible Thursday, Porygon challenged cute mew to Blackjack. Cute mew was never a gambling fellow (FYI, he’s British), so he lost at Blackjack and ran away. Hmm, I wasn’t aware that Mews had that ability. Perhaps that is something to ponder.
HAHAHA I didn't realize this was more than one movie. But the Delete Star is great.
Holy Star sat in the Delete Star laughing at everyone, and holding Jon, all of the bacon and leaders to watch the death of their Republic in agony. Holy Star made a dramatic moment as he, in slow motion, started to press the giant red button in front of him, and then he hit it. A large trout came out of the weapon and slapped around all the plants a bit, breaking them into pieces, leaving all the members of the Republic to die.
Chat Trout.
One of the blues, named dmaster_342, was very opposed to Holy Star’s desire for mass destruction. He told Holy Star that he should knock it off, and be nice. Otherwise, he would get a...
DMASTER SMASH O_O
Holy Star ignores this threat that would scare any other person, including Jon, Matt and cute mew. He continues to mindlessly seek the destruction of all, and starts firing the delete star. Hope is lost for all!
But somehow Jon went back in time with his special powers and banned Holy Star. :O Cuz he’s coo’ like that. They celebrate with bacon, lots of bacon. But no eggs.
Because that happened in Star Wars.
In a not-so-distant future, Porygon finds Holy Star, and Holy Star begins planning his revenge, covered in his new red armor.
THE GAME/ END
Its a 7/10. I would've liked less random and more plot. Also, you made me lose the game, which makes me angry.
The Pink’s “Suprise”
New Green, Afro-G, was taking a stroll though the archived, amazing stuff. Despite being Green, Afro was a newer member of the Beach, and he hadn’t experienced any of the past.
That would change though, when Afro found something in the archives called “Suprise Tomorrow”. The first thing Afro did, rather than explore it, was to criticise Jon’s lack of proper spelling. Little did young Afro know though, such a thing was intentional, and he began to read the story.
The RMS Titanic was about to be boarded. People from all around the world would take the voyage of a lifetime on this beautiful ship. There were pink people, green people, and blues alike. The captain of the ship was a darker blue than everyone else, and was slick and very dapper in his dress. One of the greens name was Gale. The pinks looked down at Gale and took particular interest in him. Gale was excited for the voyage, since now that he was a green, he felt like he had power over the lower class blue passengers.
That night, the pinks approached Gale and got to know him. Then, an announcement came from the loudspeaker of the ship.
“Hello Titanic voyagers, this is your captain speaking. There will be a ‘Suprise’ tomorrow for all of the passengers on board.”
The Pinks, knowing what it was, informed Gale right away, as they went outside to meet the crazy blues who would do anything to figure out this “Suprise”. Gale and the pinks had a great night together, tricking all the blues into thinking about what the “Suprise” may be: New forum skins, new mods, or both. Everyone had their own guesses. However, never would those involved be allowed to reveal the secret.
Then one particular guess came. This guess made the pinks and Gale think: they loved the idea. Gale would become the Super Captain of the ship. The Blues loved the idea, as well as the Green who’d been to a hotel west of Las Vegas. So the pinks decided to say yes. Ten minutes later, Gale was just like the captain: dark blue and dapper. Some of the regular blues didn’t believe the act and others wanted proof. Alex was one of these people, saying, “If you’re the captain, then make me a strike-through in jail.” The next thing you knew, the pinks made that happen for Alex. The same happened for a man named Wariopower, but he became a green.
However, during all this, the real captain began to push back the the date of the “Suprise”, from two days, and then to a week. But the pinks kept this secret from the blues. They were having a very merry time with Gale. The captain, was in his quarters through all of this, as he steered the ship. If he’d have come out, the hoax would have all been over. But he had bigger things to worry about as he looked ahead to see a giant iceberg. Seeing it, he began to steer the ship, trying to avoid the ice, he didn’t want to damage the “unsinkable” ship that easily.
As he did, madness erupted, people ran as the ship made the sharp turn to avoid the ship sinker of the North Seas. Even with the valiant effort of the captain, the ship began to sink as it crashed into the iceberg. Everyone ran for the lifeboats, as the pinks and Gale got separated. Everyone was in a panic. Luckily, all of the pinks and greens, and most of the blues, were saved in the lifeboats, as they escaped the sinking horror of the RMS Titanic. The real “Suprise” would never be known, the time never came for it to be revealed and Gale left a simple green again.
There was one more part of Gale’s history though. Some time after his time as Super Captain, Gale became a red, the one group of people no one wanted to be a part of. The Pinks would always remember their time with Gale; they would cherish it always.
Afro closed the book astonished, as he read the end, it was marked with hidden, so no one would remember the misfortune of the RMS Titanic. He’d never heard the story before and was saddened by the fact that many others would never be able to hear its tale.
I guess this one was decent. The only problem is it did not follow the plot of Titanic at all. I'm guessing Gale is Jack, but where is Rose?
