Heya, guys! It's been a long time since I updated with ANYTHING so I might be a
little rusty. .
Buuuuut... *Cracks knuckles* I decided to kick off with a little (HA! Anything but
little) poem about Ichijouji Ken from Digimon Adventure 02. I'm not well at the
moment so I thought I might as well make the most of it and write. XD
By the way, this is the only poem I've ever written that was longer than about five
stanzas, so don't get TOO bored with it. Please don't flame either. ^^;
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ken-chan or DA 02, no matter how much I want to.

HONTOU NO TSUYOSA
Ichijouji Ken is my name
You probably know me well
As I used to be the Digimon Kaiser
I was like a nightmare sent from hell
It all started a few years ago
When I was really small
What was to happen in the near future
I had no idea of at all
I lived with my parents and big brother, Osamu
He was as smart as smart can be
I knew my parents loved him more
He was ten times more clever than me
Then one day when I was playing with Osamu
There was a really weird sort of noise
Something came out of his computer screen
I sat staring in silence, never raising my voice
He told me not to touch it
But I couldn't help myself
He left it in one of his drawers
(Maybe he shoulda put it on a shelf?)
It flashed real bright, almost blinding me
And then- I disappeared!
It seemed I'd been sucked into his computer
And when I came back out I felt really weird
I sat there on the floor of his room
Smiling and looking really happy
But then Osamu came through the door
And got really mad with me
I tried to explain what had happened
But he hit me on the head
He said I'd never touch his things again
So I had to leave instead
My parents would never listen
They'd think I was telling lies
What really bugged me about that
Was that Osamu was perfect in their eyes
Maddened with jealousy for my big brother,
I wished he'd go away
But little did I know
What would happen the very next day...
I went out for a walk with Osamu
Keeping as quite as I could be
He stopped on a curb next to a road to ask
Just what was the matter with me
It was then that I noticed the truck
Heading straight out way
It looked as if it was out of control
And I tried to run away
Osamu didn't move in time
And there the ambulance found
One boy lying sprawled across the tarmac
Another sobbing on the ground
My parents were at the hospital
Crying was the only thing they could do
They kept looking at me as if to say
"Oh Ken, why couldn't it be you?"
When we got home I stared at my brother's picture,
I was so so upset
Slowly I wiped my eyes and murmured
"Osamu onii-san, I didn't mean it"
The funeral soon came and went,
White flowers laid at Osamu's coffin
I stared again at a picture of my brother
And just couldn't take my eyes off him
I took his death pretty hard
And put all my efforts into schoolwork
But soon I learned that studying so hard
Didn't have so many perks...
One day I was sitting by the computer
Y'know, just playing around
When guess what? I received a really long email
Addressed to me, I found
It spoke about a different world
Where 'my soul and imagination would be free'
But back then I had no idea
What trouble it would give me
I opened my brother's drawer as instructed,
Lifting the strange device out
Holding it up to the computer screen
As I disappeared I gave a small shout
I arrived at a strange new place
Standing on the shore of a dark sea
I held the device down under the water
It turned black, to the amazement of me
Clutching my brand new Digivice
I grinned and started to snigger
Now nobody could tell me what to do!
My hold on this place could get bigger
I fashioned myself a uniform
That would strike fear into Digimon
With it came a whip that I used to petrify and hurt them
Ha, the chase was on!
Convincing myself it was all a game
I tortured and slaughtered hundreds of creatures
I was selfish and brutal, but had no idea
How unattractive were those features
And then came that team of Chosen Children
Small a group though they are,
They managed to beat me time and again
I got so mad; I'd never been pushed so far
As time slowly wore on
I was slowly beginning to weaken
Those children were beginning to suspect me in the real world
So I'd have to be even sneakier
Oh yes, up to this point I haven't mentioned someone...
You might have guessed who it may be
My Digimon partner Wormmon
Who was, at the time, just a slave to me...
Wormmon tried to return me to my old self
But unfortunately to no avail
He never gave up trying though,
He knew that my 'kindness' would prevail
Then over a course of time I created Kimeramon
Made of Digimon body parts
It was the ultimate killing machine
And I saw it as a work of art
When at last our battles were over
And Kimeramon was dead
The Chosen Children explained what I'd done;
I realised I was messed up in the head
Tearing off my uniform
I dropped to my knees and cried
But there was still worse to come-
My Digimon... he died.
Having given up his strength to Magnamon
Who was fighting Kimeramon at the time,
Wormmon had sacrificed himself
Not just for the kids' lives, but for mine
I sat there holding Wormmon
I realised he was my best friend
He had told me once that kindness
Was sometimes defeated in the end
As he disappeared I began to cry
Why did I miss him so?
Was it because I never told him what he meant to me?
I really wished I could know
That night I went home and laid down on my bed,
My soft dark blue hair covering my eyes
Was I truly the Digimon Kaiser?
No, that was just a disguise...
I couldn't help but wonder if my life had a meaning
The next day I searched for it in my dreams
But when I woke up I wasn't satisfied
I was in need of Wormmon, it seemed
So I headed to a village in the Digital World
Where all the Digimon eggs resided
The baby Digimon confronted me about being the Kaiser
And I couldn't lie or deny it
I searched all over but couldn't find Wormmon
I couldn't believe he was gone
But all of a sudden my crest began to glow
I thought something must have been wrong
And then- a Digimon egg!
It was glowing all bright pink
Holding my breath I walked up to it
Not knowing what to think
It looked like it was going to hatch
So I stood back and stared
The Digimon around me sat watching
They probably didn't even care
The egg had hatched and there in the cradle
Sat a small green creature, on its head was a leaf
My eyes filled with tears as I picked it up
I was relieved beyond belief
Happily I took my partner home
Overjoyed at his return
Things seemed to improve after my ordeal,
Though it was a tough lesson to learn
And then one of the Chosen Children
(Daisuke was his name)
Asked me to join him and his friends, but I couldn't-
For all the bad things that had happened to them, I was to blame
Days passed, and turned into months
Wormmon and Daisuke's Digimon learned to Jogress evolve
Daisuke seemed to think that it was the best,
Super-cool thing of all
And it was after that when we fought Arachnemon
That I began to feel a part of their team
They were all so kind and nice to me
Not the way I had acted; all stubborn and mean
And now everything is okay
We're all the best of friends
I guess it's a happy ending,
That's how many stories end...
Though I feel a little redeemed
I still miss Osamu onii-san, my old friend
And somehow I know that deep inside
My guilt will never end
But I managed to find my real true strength, "Hontou no Tsuyosa"
And Wormmon showed me that's all that matters...
Ichijouji Ken is my name
You probably know me well
As I USED TO BE the Digimon Kaiser
But I'm no longer like a nightmare from hell
