I Remember When I Was The Strongest

I remember.
A century, or more,
Ago, maybe...
Even longer.

I was the best.
I was king.
I was rich,
I even had a girlfriend.

My sensei, and I.
My rival, our pet monster...
We saved this world,
Just as well as anybody!

I won tournaments!
I beat demons!
And I developed the first energy move
The lot of you ever saw!

So there.
Unfair.
I sit
On pins and needles.

My students are grown.
Two dead.
The rest? Old and over.
Like me.

Now, the son of my best student...
His friend, son of the enemy...
THEY fight for Earth.
Not her oldest hero.

Kami save us all.
But all he can do is live.
Dragonballs are all we have
If we're depending on young children.

Oh, I remember when I was the strongest.
Those days long passed, when it was me
Running from continent to continent in fierce battle.
When I saved the world.

I miss 'em.
Sit still? Are you insane?
But I'm vulnerable and helpless.
I hate it.
