Okay, I realized something when I was uploading this chapter...It was already on Chapter 4. Oops :). So, because I'm weird this way, Chapter 4 is now explicetly chapter 4 and Chapter 5 is, well, chapter 5. This is the last chapter now. I promise. So please enjoy!

Chapter 5

Subsection 1

Scenario: The doctor talks to Macbeth's waiting-gentleman at Macbeth's castle.

"How is the king doing," asked the gentleman.

"Not well I'm afraid," the doctor replied. "Here comes Macbeth."

"How fares the king doctor?" asked Macbeth.

"As I was telling your waiting-gentleman here that the king is not getting any better. In fact, I think he's getting worse."

"Oh, what a shame," said Macbeth in mock concern. Lucky for him no one noticed.

"Well, I'd best be off," said the doctor.

"Good bye," said Macbeth and the gentleman.

Subsection 2

Scenario: Menteith, Caithness, Angus, and Lennox meet in the countryside.

"Good morning to you Menteith," called Angus.

"And to you, good Angus," he replied.

"So let's see, we have Malcolm, Siward, and Macduff. Where should we all meet?" asked Menteith.

"I was thinking Birnam wood. It seems like a good enough place."

"I hear it's lovely this time of year," commented Caithness.

"So where's Macbeth?" asked Lennox.

"Last time I heard he was on his way to Duncan's castle. He apparently wants to visit the king on his sick bed," replied Angus.

"So that's where we ought to be," concluded Lennox.

"But first," said Caithness, "to Birnam wood." And off they marched.

Subsection 3

Scenario: Macbeth and the doctor are in a room at Dunsinane.

"So how on earth are you supposed to move this hill to Birnam wood?" the doctor asked Macbeth

"I was thinking that we could all carry dirt from the hill to the woods. The crystal ball never said move the whole hill," replied Macbeth.

"Good thinking," said the doctor. "Look, here comes a servant."

"What is it my good man?" asked Macbeth.

"I just caught word that Malcolm and everyone are at Birnam wood. It there was ever a time to fight them, there's no time like the present."

"I do believe you are right. Now off you go." Seyton chose that time to enter the room.

"Would you like your armor now sir?" he asked.

"I don't think just quite yet. You may leave us now." Seyton left with a bow, as did the servant.

"By the way Macbeth, the king is still as crazy as a loon. Killing your wife took a real turn on him."

"Him!" exclaimed Macbeth. "I'm the one who lost his wife. Anyway, I think I'll go fill my pockets with dirt now. If you will excuse me."

Subsection 4

Scenario: Malcolm Siward Sr. and Jr., Macduff, Menteith, and soldiers come to Birnam wood.

"Today is a good day to die," said Menteith to the company with him.

"Indeed it is," replied Malcolm.

"And here we have Birnam wood," said Siward.

"I say we just stake it out here for the night. I'm bushed," said Menteith.

"Aye, that we all are," responded the soldiers.

"Let that husband of a traitor to the crown come to us. We'll have him right where we want him," said Malcolm.

"That we will," replied Menteith.

"And now to sleep," said Siward.

Subsection 5

Scenario: Macbeth and Seyton are in Dunsinane.

"Well my lord, looks like it's show time," said Seyton to Macbeth. Macbeth's answer was cut off by a cry from someone further inside the castle.

"Great Gatsby," cried Seyton, "What was that?"

"That would be the sound of the king dying," replied Macbeth.

"What a time to die," said Seyton. "We were just about to go to battle."

"What do you mean 'were'? The fight is still on." Just then a messenger entered.

"My lord, everyone has dirt from the hill in their pockets. We are ready to fight."

"Then fighting we will go. Onward!" ordered Macbeth, and off they marched.

Subsection 6

Scenario: Malcolm, Macduff, and Siward awake in Birnam wood.

"Oh what a beautiful morning," sang Siward.

"Oh what a beautiful day," continued Malcolm. Then they both continued singing.

"I've got a beautiful feeling everything's going my way."

"Um, guys," interrupted Macduff. "There's an army marching towards us."

"Or not," said Malcolm.

Subsection 7

Scenario: Macbeth enters just outside Birnam wood.

"Here we are!" yelled Macbeth. "Fear us for we have dirt from Duncinane's hill in our pockets! Mwahahahahaha!" Everyone in the forest cowered in their boots. All except Macduff, who exited the woods to stand before Macbeth.

"I will fight you," he said, and without further ceremony continued toward Macbeth. The fight was short. A few blows were exchanged, but Macduff ultimately died.

"Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge me?" shouted to Macbeth. Suddenly a young boy exited the woods. This was, of course, Siward Jr.

"I challenge you to fight," he said in a very high squeaky voice. Whether this was because he hadn't reached puberty yet or he was afraid Macbeth didn't know.

"You puny boy," said Macbeth. "You cannot hope to fight against me." Not thinking him a threat, Macbeth turned towards his assembled army. "Take no prisoners and leave none alive. Charge!" With that, everyone started forward.

During the long and bloody battle Malcolm and Siward Sr. met on the battle field.

"Hey, there's a knot of Macbeth's men right over there," said Malcolm.

"Let's go get 'em," said Siward the elder.

"Aye," agreed Malcolm, and off they went.

Subsection 7

Scenario: Macbeth enters a part of the battle field.

"I think this battle is going rather well," commented Macbeth to himself. He fought and fought until very few people were still alive on his enemy's side. He came upon Malcolm from behind and stabbed him in the back as only traitors do.

"Ha ha!" he yelled. "Victory is mine. I have killed the Heir of Duncan!" But all thoughts of victory were dispelled when he again saw Siward the younger come to face him.

"You laughed in my face," said the young man with much scorn in his voice that Macbeth took a step back. "No one laughs in my face. For that you will die. En garde!"

Macbeth had a sudden realization. "You were woman born weren't you?" he asked the young man.

"Indeed," replied Siward Jr. "One of few around here. Now en garde!" Without waiting for Macbeth to compose himself, young Siward lunged himself at his enemy and fought him with a series of strokes. Macbeth, being unprepared as he was, put up a very poor fight. It was inevitable that he should die, and die he did. So ends the life of Macbeth but there is still more to tell.

As the rest of Macbeth's men were either killed or retreating, Siward Sr. and Ross met on the battle field.

"I'm glad this battle is finally over," said Siward the elder.

"I can't say I disagree with you," said Ross.

"Have you seen my son by any chance?" asked the father of young Siward.

"Indeed I have," replied Ross. "He killed Macbeth over yonder." He pointed in the direction where Macbeth met his end.

"Oh my son!" exclaimed Siward Sr. "I am so proud of my son. No greater honor could befall him." He sought out to find his son.

Seeing how Malcolm was dead, the heir to the throne was Donalbain. Leaving the head where it lay, young Siward brought the rest of Macbeth's corps to the new king.

"Ah, brave Siward," said Donalbain when he caught sight of the young man. "I see you brought me a coronation present."

"Indeed I have my liege," Siward replied.

"It's good to have him out of the way," Donalbain continued. "But let's not tarry around this bloody ground any longer. Onward to Scone for my coronation and a party afterward!"

This was received with much enthusiasm from all assembled. "All hail King of Scotland!" they yelled. "All hail King Donalbain!" And without further ado they all marched off into the sunset.

Okidoki them...All finished. Thanks to ProbableImpossibilities for the review! I wouldn't mind hearing...er, reading more of them *Hint, hint*. Thanks a bunch!
