Depredation

    "I sense it coming," said Jhoqi.  "It is now swiftly approaching."
    "What is it?" questioned Upooq.
    "It's a hole," replied Jhoqi promptly.
    "What kind of hole?" asked Hilarious Hyena.
    "It's a hole in our universal peace," said Jhoqi.  "We must raise the emergency shields."
    "Are you sure," asked Upooq, "those shields can only be raised once for a short amount of time."
    "I am sure," she replied.  "We must raise them quickly.  Hurry!"  Upooq quickly went downstairs to turn the powerful shields on.
    "You and I must power the shields up with our awesomeness," said Jhoqi to Hilarious Hyena.  "It must be as strong as possible to withstand the hole.  Follow me."
    Hilarious Hyena went with Jhoqi into a room that was directly above the room Upooq had gone to.  The room was empty except for five chairs forming a circle in the middle.  Hilarious Hyena and Jhoqi sat down in two of them.  They soon felt the shields turn on, and they felt the energy in the room as they powered up the shields.  The radius covered by the shields was not large, so Upooq would have to quickly find people and bring them into it to save them.  In the meantime, Jhoqi and Hilarious Hyena would hope they were enough to pwer the shield.
    Meanwhile, back at the ranc, RoboRabbit and Claudio McAwesome were just maneuvering to land on Iohsw where they saw that the escape pod with Teddy and Turtle in it had landed.  They exited the ship to find Teddy and his aaccomplices setting up some evil weeapon of doom.  At this time Jhoi said to Hilarious Hyena, "The hole has arrived."
    As RoboRabbit and the crew walked up to Teddy and Turtle, Upooq ran up to them and said, "We have no time.  You can destroy his ship and yours to prevent escape, but we have not the time to battle him."
    So they destroyed the ships and followed Upooq to Jhoqi's treehouse.  With all the weeds everywhere, RoboRabbit wished he had a weedwhacker to make Iohsw devine.  Unfortunately, they had neither the time nor the materials to rid the planet of all the unwanted vines, so they went straight to Jhoqi's abode and went downstairs to the room with Jhoqi in it while Upooq went out to save more people.  RoboRabbit, Claudio McAwesome, and Costa Lxodi sat in the three remaining chairs to help power the shields with their awesomeness, and Upooq soon arrived with a crowd of people.
First entered Upooq, who had led them here
Then cam Armaninx without a hint of fear
Next entered Darkprint, her white tail wagging
And then Big Fat Husky, who seemed to be lagging
After that Green Wart Hog entered the hall
And last was Big Tall Moose, who could barely fit, he was so tall.

But no more animals came after that
For just after Big Tall Moose stepped on the mat
There came a great quake and a deadly explosion
Followed by tidals waves and an implosion
The people who hadn't yet entered all died
And from the explosion those living all shied
Those left had seen their planet's swift depredation
And, of the shield's strength, a good demonstration
