*Insert cheesy horror music here.

Once upon a midnight dreary

As Talpa pondered weak and weary

O'er a plan of forgotten world domination lore

There came a tapping

A tapping at his throne room door

"Is a warlord merely tapping," he muttered

"Tapping at my throne room door.

To ask for a second chance to destroy the Ronins

That is it and nothing more."

He drifted off

The plans falling to the floor

When suddenly

And without warning

There was another tapping

Tapping at his throne room door

"What?" he yelled angrily

"What nuisance comes tapping

Tapping at my throne room door?"

The doors flung open

And then there stood

Oh no

Talpa's worst nightmare

Five Ronins dressed in armor

Their leader, Ryo said

And I quote

"Talpa, we're here to kick your butt

So you will rule never more"

End quote

That's all he said

And nothing more

"Fools!" yelled Talpa

"You think you can come breaking down my throne room door?

I'll show you!"

"Guards!" he yelled

That was it and nothing more

"ARROW SHOCK WAVE!" hollered the blue one

That he said

And I'm sick of saying nothing more

Talpa laughed as the attack bounced off him

"Fools!" he crowed. "That's all you got?

And nothing more?"

Didn't you already call them fools?

"Shut up."

Make me

"GUARDS!"

I swear, it wasn't me!

*Points to Rowen.

HE DID IT!

"Who, me?"

*Rowen is chased out of the throne room.

"We're here to kick your butt

So you will rule never more," said Ryo again

Sick of the minor squabble

Shut up, Ryo

You sound like a broken record

That is all

And nothing more

"SUPA' WAVE SMASHA!" yelled the other blue one

That he said

And...

"Don't even think about it," Talpa warned.

"I'll feed you to my netherspirits

If all you say is 'Nothing more'"

Sorry

Would you prefer a raven croaking

Hung above your throne room door

Would you prefer its ungainly squawking

Of a single word

A freaky, demonic bird who quoth

"Nevermore?"

Meanwhile as I was rhyming

The doorbell came a-chiming

And there stood a Domino's pizza man

"Thirteen bucks," said he

And...

*Authoress bolts out of the room as Talpa summons his netherspirits.

Sage sighs in defeat

"I guess I'll have to continue rhyming

If we ever want to finish this."

"Hurry up," Kento groaned

"I gotta pee."

"Sheesh," Sage replied.

"I'm trying."

"THUNDERBOLT CUT!" cried the green one

This he said

And a whole lot more that can't be fit into this poem right now...

*Authoress runs back in.

"Get him! He said something like 'Nothing more!'"

*Sage is chased out of the room.

Hee hee hee

Where did I leave off?

Oh yes

The Ronins kicking Talpa's butt

So he could rule...

Interrupted the leader, Ryo

"Never more."

"IRON ROCK CRUSHER!" Kento yelled

The attacks really aren't doing any damage

This Talpa notes with a smidgen of satisfaction

"That all you got?"

"DON'T SAY IT!"

"What?" he asked.

Quoth the stinky warlord

"Nothing more?"

"ARMOR OF INFERNO!"

Yeah, Ryo's gonna kick Talpa's butt

Cause he's the best

"RAGE OF INFERNO!"

Now Talpa's a little pile of dust on the throne room floor

That's all he is

And...

*collective groan

Nothing more!

*Authoress is chased out of the throne room by Sage and his legion of netherspirits.

Don't say anything... I'm not crazy... Really, I'm not! Rowen... um, why do you have that tranquilizer? Ryo? What are you doing with that straightjacket? I thought I was on your side!

Quoth the Ronins

"Nevermore."
