A/N: First off, sorry to everyone who was waiting for an update. I know it's been a while, I've just been busy. (Read: lazy). Oh yes, I was going to update Friday night, but my computer was down. Really! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Noma, Tao learned Blaze 4 in chapter 2 because A) I powerlevel a lot, so that's almost normal, B) in the credits, there's a shot of promoted Tao using a high level Blaze spell on the Laser Eye, and C) four was the easiest to rhyme at the time. And without further ado, here's chapter 3.

The Powers of Light
Chapter 3: Crappy Weapon of Runefaust
The bird-people led them to Bustoke,
Where people only drank Pepsi, not Coke;
Coughing all the way, they said, "It is clear
That this town to Uranbátol is not near."
"Check the map, my fine birdie friends,
For you are mistaken. Now that one tends,"
He said, while pointing at a nearby girl,
"to cry for her dad. Her bag she will hurl."
"Waaaa! Daddy! Come back from the quarry!
Our real'ty shows ratings aren't soaring!
They think you are heartless! They don't care
That you are a slave without any hair!"
(Of course the Force did not hear this firsthand;
They were watching TV, broadband,
The newscast was reporting on missing
Men from the town. Coming up, Snake Hissing)
(Next up was the fam'ly real'ty show,
Which featured the girl, and her sis with a bow;
The father was supposedly gone,
Which caused protestors on the lawn)
(The protestors did not approve
And were trying hard to remove
The show from the airwaves. The father
Leaving his kids alone, what a bother)
The Force needed some extra money,
First they tried shaking down a bunny;
When that didn't work, they sought a job
In the quarry, from a guy named Rob.
They got the job, but lo and behold,
Their employer (who else was so bold?)
Was Runefaust! They tried to quit (but not
Cause of ethics, but low pay and the lot).
The Force led the union to go on strike,
But that didn't matter. They needed Mike.
Mike was the leader, but had been killed
By Runefaust, as an example to Phil.
As a result, their new leader Phil
Was quite timid, and had money nil.
The workers revolted, but unfortunately
The masters had gone on a big shopping spree.
When the slavedrivers returned to the site,
They found the Laser Eye dug out right
Next to Pao Bridge. When the workers asked for
A bonus, they were to be ate by Al Gore.
The Force could not stand this much longer;
They were sick of the fanatic warmonger:
They fought and prevailed, and soon mailed
The Moonstone to Bustoke for Zylo, jailed.
When the Moonstone got made into tonic,
Zylo drank it down (side effects: chronic
Foot odor and mad wolf disease). He then
Created Mountain Dew with some guy Ben.
When Mountain Dew joined with Pepsi, not Coke
Zylo decided to leave Bustoke.
He went to the Force, who were still in
Their hotel. When he joined he slept in a bin.
They soon left for the stone bridge of Pao,
And they had found a bikini for Tao
In the cave with the moonstone. They were
Opposed by the bridge, and were called curs.
They defeated the Runefaustians
With great ease. The foe ran to their bastions
On the bridge. When the Force reached the bridge
They found foes led by a knight named Midge.
"YOU WANT 5 COINS FOR KILLING ALL OF
MY FOES!!!" "Please, it is called mighty tough love."
"I DON'T CARE WHAT IT'S CALLED! DIE TRAITOR!"
She pushed the merc off the bridge to Al Gore.
They saw the great Force, and started attack,
But they soon found out that the Force could hack
Into their systems, and realize,
That gifts didn't depend on money or size.
But before the Force's party could reach
The actual bridge, it gave way. A leach
Waited at the bottom for the enemy.
From his treebranch, this the merc could see.
"WOW! I'M GONNA JOIN THEM!!!11!!1!1!!!" said the poor n00b,
As the Force went to Merv's Tire and Lube.
When they came out, they were sad to see,
Pelle, the merc, hanging on the old oak tree.
Balbaroy and Amon flew them across
Where they met up with Mr. Randy Moss.
Pelle jumped up the cliff, and kicked Moss off,
And then decided his hat to doff.
"I, Pelle the knight, pledge my service to you,
Assuming you do what I think you do."
"…" said Max, so Anri spoke for him,
"Sure you can join, if I can call you Jim."
With that, the Shining Force departed to Pao
Where they hoped to find pigs and a sow.
Little did they know what impact they'd have
On the citizens there, right on their calves.
A/N: R&R!
