Disclaimer: "Yup, I own Shining Force," the author said. Suddenly, infinite lawyers appeared and cast lawsuit level four on the poor, stupid poet.
I don't own anything. And that includes Mountain Dew.
A/N: I am truly sorry about the four-month wait. Please don't kill me. If you kill me, I won't be able to write chapter six…
On to the story!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Powers of Light
Chapter V
Gateway to the Harder Battles
The fearsome sheep-lover Balbazak was
Dead, never to return, because
He was a coward, who would betray his lord.
He met his end because of his true words.
The Shining Force took his boat, to travel
O'er to the next continent, where camels
Roamed the forests, the hills, and ev'rywhere;
The Shining Force needed all the camels' hair.
The hair would stop Dark Dragon in his tracks;
It would do far more damage than all their little whacks
(The Dragon had a very ticklish underbelly,
And thought that good ol' Darksol's name was venerable Kelly).
Midway through the journey, they were áttacked
By crappy carp, and flying knights, who were hacked
Soon enough by the might of the Force
(Max was hiding below, of course).
Domingo, of course, had the most fun;
He floated around, eating a hot dog bun;
He also continually screamed, asking
"Do you like my helmet!" while basking.
He also gained several dozen Jogurt rings,
Which he gave to the Force, as if to kings;
The Force put them on, and something then occurred:
They looked like large hamsters (on that they concurred)!
Were they doomed to live the rest of their lives
So stupid in appearance? Breaking out in hives,
They tried so hard to get the rings off,
But to no avail. Their helmets were doffed…
And then, as if by a miracle,
A mermaid appeared, and took them to Warál.
Waral was a beautiful city on the sea;
It was a place where kids still said, "Gee!"
It was a strikingly wonderful water resort;
It had sparkling water; it had lots of fish in its court;
There was even a man, a red-haired man,
Who looked strangely familiar, but with a tan.
There was no war; there was no strife;
It was an idyllic paradise.
But the people knew that there was something wrong;
Ring Reef was losing its water, and for very long!
The Shining Force set out to explore
The last stop on their journey so far;
They took the guest boat, and talked to the priest,
Who told them to go and fetch him some yeast.
When they gave him the yeast, sev'ral packets in fact,
He went in the back and came out with his head cracked.
Then quick as a flash the body began to swell;
The Force shrugged, and suddenly said, "Oh well."
They went past one of the mermaid's many
Relatives, and saw the kid named Lenny.
Does anyone here remember Lenny?
The mayor of Rindo's grandson, not Kenny?
Ok, no one cares. The current caught
The boat and swept it with several kumquats
To Ring Reef. All were knocked unconscious,
And the guest boat suffered two aborted launches.
The missing priest from Waral had rescued
Max from the fiery wreckage (Ok,
I lie. There was no fire, and no wreckage).
But the Force could not be found, e'en with a sledge.
So Max went into a cool looking tunnel
(it formed when Ring Reef drained fully, through a funnel).
He saw a Skeleton, from Chapter 2,
And followed e'en though it smelled like Mountain Dew
(Later reports falsely reported that
Max was following Adam, not Matt
The extremely weak Skeleton,
Who talked exactly like George Washington)
The Skeleton noticed Max far too late;
He warned the Master Mage, who would sate
His thirst for blood, at least, so he thought.
But really he would again have the farm bought.
Meanwhile, the Priest was wondering what
Exactly was up with the ship with nought but
Giant frickin' hamsters. Tao told him later
That he was drunk, but for that he would hate her.
ANYway, moving on. Max found the Force
In his pocket. If you must know why, of course,
It's because I'm ripping off Douglas Adams,
Who also created a giant bird that hums.
The Force easily gained victory o'er
Those weak, crappy monsters, rotten to the core.
By rotten, I don't mean evil and crushing.
I just mean they were soft and mushy.
Max ventured to the door the Master Mage
Was trying to open, and get out of the cage
That was his life. The Spirit of the Spring
Appeared with a quick, short "bling!"
She started babbling, and wouldn't stop
Until Max asked to be changed back by a cop.
The Force no longer looked like Jogurt;
They had reverted, and all ate yogurt.
The Spirit was about to open the way
To Metapha, where all their problems laid;
But alas! before she could, the Mage
Blocked the door with big rocks, creating a cage.
The way was blocked by the Mage's last breath;
"But never fear!" said the Spirit, exposed to meth,
"There is another entryway, in Prompt!"
However, they didn't trust her because she was zonked.
The Spirit faded, and they walked out of there,
Out into the wonderful sea air;
They found the guest boat moored by the shack
Where the missing Priest lived, with a cat black.
Ring Reef was once again with water full;
Before leaving, the Force entered a cow pull.
They lost horribly, but then slew the other
Contestants, and also a brother.
They took back their ship, without a hitch,
They also got away quite rich.
They did not have to pay the King
Nor did they buy any of his bling.
Along the way, they were attacked
By sucky monsters, who (once again) were all hacked.
However, the ship was (somehow) damaged
In the fight. The monsters were e'en more ravaged.
With the ship out of control, the Force
Drifted away, aimless without a course.
Eventually, if the wind favored,
They would reach land, in purpose unwavered.
End Chapter V

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: Chapter V is finally here. Thanks to all the new reviewers, and to Demonic Weasel for keeping on reviewing.
Demonic Weasel: Thanks for the reviews. Glad you liked the Jogurt stuff in the last chapter.
maya miyazono: Did I get your name right? Yeah, I'm a guy.
Kirin'sdaughter: Normally, I would tell anyone who asked be that to just check gamefaqs or Shining Force Central, but since you liked my story...
In first Pao, go to the church. Go inside, and walk to the left wall. Then go up. You should see Jogurt sitting on a magic carpet smoking weed. Rub your eyes. He'll fall over, try to get back up, and fall over again.
Don't ask me why, but that gets him to join.
