Disclaimer: Guess what. I don't own Shining Force.

A/N: And the second chapter. Still rated PG-13 for drug use. It's a little more prevalent in this one though, so... Just read the story.

The Powers of Light Chapter 2

The passage led through the mountains, so high;

They knew it was faster to go through the sky,

But they did not want to offend the king,

For he had shown them where was the ring.

They found themselves in an enclave, which was

On all sides, they discovered, enclosed with fuzz;

Though it would be easy to break their way through,

They wanted to visit the town where dogs go moooo.

The town was annoying and small, but had

A few attractions, namely the theatre,

Which had that interésting play, about

Runefaust's part in their home city's rout.

After watching the play for a laugh

They wandered and soon found a calf;

The calf was annoying, and ate cowses,

As the Force went to rob from some houses.

The Force got some random crap, but not much

In the houses. They did find an object such

That an armadillo was hiding in;

With luck they could get him to wildly spin.

In the biggest house in town, they had learned

That the town was Rindó, and not to be burned.

They had sold all but one of their ships to Kane,

And unavailable was the one down the lane.

"You suck, Mayor!" was their response to his words;

They needed that ship because they weren't birds.

They did the next best thing, and went to

Manarina, where mages practice and sue.

They burst through the northern fuzz, and beheld

A massive force of the undead, who selled

Their weapons, and pocketed the profits

Because they often had coughing fits.

After narrowly defeating the army,

They entered the town so great and charmy;

They were pissed to find that the monsters were

From the city, and it was an accident.

The Force was revived, and soon found Princess

Anri, who believed anything that hisses;

She thought they were lying, and soon ran off

After hearing the truth, she had really coughed.

Max ran after Anri, but got side-tracked

In his security, to not be hacked

(He also got turned into a hen, but

To his death he would not admit, e'en in thought).

He talked to a cocky and pathetic

Knight doing the laundry and mathematics;

He had nothing important to say, so

Max went on to search for Anri down the row.

Upon finding Anri, he talked her into

Joining the Force, and making Runefaust rue

The day they killed her father. Kane would pay

If not soon, then perhaps later someday!

They talked to a genderless master

Named Otrant, who was picking an aster;

He told them to get the Orb of Light, from

The Cavern of Darkness, but with no drum.

The Cavern of Darkness was quite stupid

And easy. They didn't e'en need a moped.

They retrieved the Orb, and used it on the pool.

The Spirit appeared, and they all said, "COOOOL!"

The Spirit told Max that he was to lead

The great Force with all splendor and speed;

Max paid no attention after that talk;

Instead he went out for a boring walk.

After leaving the Spirit they found the knight

Who was cocky and annoying on sight;

He joined the Force and left his baskét

And hoped that he would not need a casket.

They left the great city and went to Rindo,

And when they arrived they put arms akimbo;

They talked once again to the Mayor, who said,

"My grandson is gone, and the dog wasn't fed!"

"The dog wasn't fed?!" They were greatly shocked.

Who would not feed it, unless it was pocked?

They searched for the dog, both high and both low,

They even looked inside a largish sow!

They found him and returned to the Mayor,

Who said, "If grandson back that suit I won't tear!"

They found the Mayor's grandson in the circus tent,

There were also monsters with many knives lent.

The monsters were strong, and led by the teller

Of fortunes in Alterone, by a seller;

She left, but the Marionette remained

And did not wish to clean that carpet stained.

They fought the monsters, and fought well with but

One of their own to fall to the beasts, not cut;

It was the cocky one, brave Arthur, who was

Weakest of them all; he fell for that cause.

With no guardians left, their remained still

The Marionette, who was also called Will.

She seemed unstoppable, and killed many

Before something fortunate happened to Lenny.

Lenny, the grandson, saw the great Force

And knew his grandpa could maybe coerce

Them with a ship. But they were hurt bad

And Lenny soon became very sad.

Suddenly, the Marionette hit Lowe

With such a great devastating blow

That felled the healer, and besides that

Knocked his bong from his mouth, far from his cat.

The large puppet picked up the landing bong

And raised it to its lips, where naught a song

Came forth from its creation. It scrambled

For its lighter. The flames flicked on and trembled.

The bong was lit; there was no going back.

The Marionette would cut them no slack;

But in their hour of greatest need so far,

A miracle would happen that it could not mar.

The bong proved to be too much for the puppet;

The most it could handle proved to be a crumpet.

The Marionette exploded. Lowe sighed,

"For once in life, 'tis good to be high."

Only three of the Force were still standing

After that battle so great, handling

The search for the boy. Lenny came out from

His hiding place, under a steel drum.

The boy was quite terrified, which was right;

The Marionette gave everyone a fright.

He said, "Thank you! She was gonna feed me

To a Dragon. I peed my pants you see!"

Lenny ran home, and changed his clothes, then went

And got himself captured again, and sent

For help. But no one cared this time, for he

Had soiled his pants with so much of his pee.

Max went to the chapel, and raised those bold

Warriors that fell to that monster's scold;

When they were raised, the Mayor rewarded them:

"You can have my ship! I will tear my hem!"

The Force got on the ship, and Nova liked

It. That made all the Force get really psyched;

Then Misheala appeared; she told them to burn;

They would die before knowing what they would learn.

Max left quickly, but it was too late, for

The ship was destroyed, and there were no more.

He talked to the Mayor, who told him such,

"To Uranbatol must go, but its far much."

"I suggest you stop by Shade Abbey first.

Its great and it will quench all your thirst!

Ask my dumb son for exact directions."

Max wandered across all the sections.

"You want exact directhonth? Go thtraight north,

You brainleth moron. Eat cowth not a horth."

Max was pissed off. The man was annoying.

He left for Shade Abbey, plotting and ploying.

The Abbey was so very horrid

And the people there were all so morbid;

Max was uncomfortable; the priest had

A zombie with him, and the people him trapped.

Suddenly he remembered the words that

The bird-woman at the gate with the hat

Had said to him, "Please, help my dear hubby!
His name is Balbaroy. That means chubby!"

Max sought the shelter of the chapel close

But saw that he was cornered and thought, "This blows!"

He saw Balbaroy. He was more stoned than

Lowe. But somehow he could talk, and plan.

"No! It is a trap!" the birdman yelled.

The priest came in and his evil plan out spelled;

He was Darksol in disguise. He talked some

And then he shut up because he was dumb.

Suddenly zombies and skels appeared,

And some say the leader was a ghoul, feared;

But who cares about that? Let's go to Lenny.

He was talking to Mr. White, Benny.

Lenny is even more uninteresting,

So lets go to the hobbit with the ring;

"NASTY, FILTHY, HOBBITSES!" said Gollum,

But he soon ran out of names to call'em.

Meanwhile, the Force was now comprised of two;

Max was reading The Taming of the Shrew;

Tao, the other, learned Blaze level four,

Which would draw heat from Rune's molten core.

They finally killed all the undead creatures,

And turned us back to more int'resting features;

While Lenny was peeing his pants again,

Gollum was trying to eat poor Len.

Shade Abbey was deserted during

The battle. This was a theme recurring.

Balbaroy joined the Shining Force right off;

And Amon too, as they left and caught a cough.

The Force would head to Uranbatol, where

Were many rich people with cash to spare.

With luck, they would find a financier, good

Who would invest their stuff in some new wood.

A/N: Well, remember to tell me how you liked it. Personally, I liked the first chapter

more.
