By the way, if anyone's interested, I've made an attempt at translating (thanks to Kagami for helping me with the tough spots of the translation) some of the Fate/Extra parodies(?) from Type-moon:

Spoiler for my translation of part 1:

Saber: Hey there!

Sakura: O-Oh, hello there, Saber-san. You seem more upbeat than usually today.

Caster: Excuse me ♪

Archer: Sorry for the intrustion.

Sakura: S-So you're all here. Do you have any business here today too? I'm busy with my work, but...

Saber: Hmm, I see. Somehow, my ahoge is tingling around here. You're not hiding anything, are you?

Sakura: E-Erm... Are you searching for something?

Saber: Not something, someone! I, as a Servant, is searching with red-rimmed eyes for my Praetor!

Sakura: !

Saber: So you do know something. By the way, there's something fishy about these curtains...

Sakura: A-Ahaha, I don't know what you're talking about. Why should there be anything strange about these curtains? Anyway, I've got to close for today, so could you please leave?

Archer: Something's defintively fishy here... Mind's Eye: Activate! Uh!? What's this pitch-black aura!? Saber, Caster, attack!

Sakura: Kyaa! No, not there...!

Saber: What the, this place had an entrance to the Arena!?

Archer: That's... I've found you at last, Master!

Saber: Guh, it's locked! It's impossible to get inside!

Sakura: He.... Hehe, hehehehehe.....

Sakura: Since the cat's out of the bag, I guess it can't be helped. The "gentle and modest nurse-teacher"-act ends here!

Caster: (Gentle? Modest?)

Sakura: That's my custom-made Arena. No one can enter without my permission!

Caster: So you finally reveal your true colors, you dark-natured woman! For kidnapping people's masters, you deserve death! Have a taste of a paper spell!

Caster: Did I do it!?

Sakura: I'll take that death-flag!

Caster: OOOOOW! That hit took almost all of my HP!? You're no mere school nurse!

Sakura: Yep, this is how I wanted it to be! Now, you'll all become mere sub-characters!

Saber: ! Archer, Caster, be careful! Sakura suddenly became a Boss-character!

Caster: Huuuh!? Isn't she just a non-essential sub-character with just a few lines!?

Saber: Yeah. To think that the nurse could become a boss... This is unexpected, I really didn't see a plot twist like this coming, did you, Archer?

Archer: No, I was tricked too. But I guess making the heroine into a boss is something Type-Moon does at times.

Saber: Really!?

Caster: Is the world getting that bad?

Sakura : .......... Shouldn't you be facing me?

Archer: Oh, sorry. Then, let's focus here... I thought there was something fishy about you from the start. Actually, when I went into the infirmary before*...

Sakura: Back then, I shoot you from behind in the back of your head♥ Like this:

Saber: Isn't that why you lost your memory before?

Archer: Yeah, normally you'd lose your life, but I'd placed a Rho Aius on the back of my head. If you want to survive in this world, you've got to use your wit, all your wit.

Saber: Oh my. I'm learning a lot from you.

Caster: Yep. That white head of yours is quite sharp after all.

Sakura: Can we resume our conversation?

Archer: But why are you doing this? You're part of the SERAPH, aren't you? There should be no reason for you to kidnap our Masters!

Sakura: I do have a reason for doing it. I want to become a main character and these people were in the way of that!

Saber: So that's why you kidnapped them. But why do you want to become a main character?

Saber: Don't you mean that you "want to become a heroine"? If so, you could simply have kidnapped Rin instead.

Sakura: How many years do you think I've had this inferiority complex towards Big sis!? During those circumstances, I've got no way of usurping her!

Archer ........ (How nostalgic)

Sakura: But if I become a main character, a Master, then things will be different, and don't you dare say otherwise!

Sakura: I'm already dead tired of being just "the nurse who hands out stuff to the masters"! I'll also become a Master and get an Ending, therefore...!

Caster: Huuh. So you say, but you don't have a Servant, do you, Sakura?

Sakura: Don't underestimate me, I've prepared for that! Now, come forth, Rider!

Saber: Why don't you call a real one? Don't you have any friends at all?

Saber: Also, why have you got the same standing-illustration? Since you took the trouble of transforming, you could at least strike a different pose. You sure are reserved.

Sakura: Hehehehe... Ever heard of budget-cuts?

Archer: But say, Sakura. Even you'd find it hard to win in a three versus one battle, right? We can still dismiss this as just a joke. If you'd just kindly give up now......

Sakura: Not at all! Don't you dare think I'm just cosplaying here! As long as I do my best......!

Caster: Miko-nyan**! What's this, my body feels heavy all of sudden!?

Archer: "Blood Fort Andromeda"......! So you're using HER skills!

Sakura: This is my stage! Behold the Idol's Spotlight! With this, I'll take the world!

Saber: Yeah! That's more like it! Even a flower on the ground certainly has a beauty to it!

Saber: If you want to become a main character, then become a main character! Even if it means you must reach out with your hands from the ground to grab the far-away stars in the sky. Your own light, your strong points, make the eyes of the spectators become aware of them!

Saber: That strong spirit of yours is truly magnificent, Sakura!

Saber: In the name of the holy flame of Olympus, I shall answer your challenge! But...

Saber: For someone wanting to become an idol, your eyes are still too reserved and your selfishness is still lacking! I'll show you how you challenge the world!

Saber: Alright - here we go!

**if that's a pun, I don't know how to translate it <_<

Part 2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQpn...eature=related

Spoiler for part 2 trans:

Saber: Now, let the fight commence! Let's go, Sakurider!

Sakura: Waaah, she went high-throttle right at the start and now I've lost any chance of victory!

Sakura: Gyaaaaaaa! I didn't get any move at all after all!

Archer: ... That was some good criticals. You used "Thundrous Applause" six times in a row, eh, Saber?

Caster: Hahaha, all bark and no bite after all! You had me worried with that dark aura for a second, but in the end you're just a non-essential sub-character!

Caster: I guess you now know the difference between a barrier that modifies the world a little, and a Noble Phantasm that can rewrite the world itself?

Caster: And thus, your ambitions have been thwarted! Thus, it's now time for mine and Master's True Newlyweds Route to commence!

Sakura: He.........Hehe...... I see...... I guess I can't expect to win while hiding my triumph card........

Sakura: No matter who your opponent is, you should go full throttle from the start. That's what I learned from Saber-san.......!

Caster: Huh? What's this? An evil god? Cthulhu?

Caster: Geh, tentacles are coming out of the ground!

Archer: Stop, don't let things go futher than this! You'll ruin your status as a heroine!

Sakura: Having turned to evil in a fightning game, I no longer fear anything!

Sakura: Come, Avenger! Use the power of the Holy Grail to turn me into my desired image of a magical girl...... Uh!

Saber: Huh, Squid Girl!?

Sakura: A-At least call me yokai-lady, please!

Sakura: Well, how about this! Like this I won't lose even to the three of you! Feel free to try using any magic or Noble Phantasm against me!

Caster: Err... Magical "Girl"?

Archer: Well, it's like a balloon. As soon as you let the air out of it, it becomes flat again.

Sakura: Let's go! I'll make it Game Over for you in a single turn!

Caster: Kyaa! She has clearly misunderstood not only her role but also what kind of game this is!

Saber: Hm, not good. My Domus Aurea can only be used once a day, so I'm out of options.

Archer: Oh, don't worry. I've fought that kind of thing plenty of times. I know it's attack pattern. Now, listen...... *whisperwhisper*

Caster: Oh my. I can't believe Sakura'd be that dimwitted... No, wait, maybe she would be?

Saber: I'll go along with your plan, it's interesting!

Sakura: What are you whispering about over there...... Come on, choose your six moves, please. Otherwise the fight can't begin.

Archjer: Oh, sorry for the wait. Well then, let's do this, The Crawling Chaos*!

Sakura: Gaaaah, please stop calling me names from the Cthulhu-mythos!

Sakura: Hehehe... I haven't watched over everyone's gallant battles for nothing. I already know everything about how this game's system works.

Sakura: Well then... Err, making things too difficult could end up blowing up in my face, so choosing "Attack" for my six moves should be the safe choice.......

Sakura: Alright, let's do this! I have three times more Hit Points than you guys, so there's no way I'll lose this!

Sakura: Wha- everyone selected only Guard.......!? Ah, timeout, timeout, my tentacles! NO, DON'T ATTACK!

Saber: Yep, now it's our turn! Time for payback!

Caster: Been a long time since I've won six moves in a row♥

Archer: Well then, time for some quality spanking, see to that you learn your lesson.

Sakura: Uuuh....... I lost........

Saber: That was a good fight! I'll look forward to the rematch, Sakura!

Caster: Phew, we won somehow, but how do you expect winning all alone? No rematch for me, thank you very much.

Archer: One shouldn't try to attain glory through evil... I should berate you, but Sakura, I understand your feelings. If you just wait a while longer then I'm sure that you'll**... ?

Female PC: ........!

Archer: Are you alright, Master? Sorry that I couldn't save you earlier. But learn from this and don't be so careless next time - OW!?

Saber: Ah, Praetor, I'm coming now.......!

Caster: Master, are you alright!?

Saber: What?

Caster: Huh?

Caster/Saber: ... This guy is your Master?

Caster/Saber: No way, having two Servants at the same time!?

Saber: What's this supposed to mean, wake up, Master! This has got to be a mistake, right? It's just a mistake, right? I'm about to cry! I'm seriously about to cry here!

Caster: Master, pleeeease wake up♥ I want to hear an explaination here, or I'll be using the move I've been practising to use at times like this♥

Male PC: (..... I don't wanna wake up......)

Sakura: How sad....... Why can't everyone obtain happiness........

* Actually more like "That Which Has No Form", but since she says "stop calling me those cthulhu-ish stuffs!", I went with "Crawling chaos" instead

** I bet he's talking about Fate/CCC here XD

Haha... Saber's strategy at the beginning of part 2 was exactly what I did with her everytime I activated her Noble Phantasm.
