#15 of Rise of the First Front

One last poem to get you excited, and while peace might remain in Carson City, albeit uncomfortably, the Kagens have other worlds to take care of and here is one to show off a bit more of my literary prowess, and if you like it please help me get popular and spread out my stories with a favorite and a vote, it may not mean a lot to you but it does to me.


I'll tell you a story I know

But it does start off very slow

I learned as much from all my experience

That in all most it is of the up most serious

The lesson to be learnt from all of this

Is to learn some of bliss

And what I have sworn

Is that those walls are meant to be torn

Once in a land much different from our own

Two tribes had been waring because a stone had been thrown

War broke out between the masses

And both sides fought valiantly with brasses

An Earth different from the one that you know

And peace from above interrupted the status quo

And while all had been thought lost

They above all else disagreed with the cost

In fact they said they are an interested third party

As they landed on the ground the three had all started off hearty

This group was the same except one

And the person named Benji thought it would be fun

Looking back on the plain, he was glad the warp didn't go awry

He'd seen it before, temporal spuds exploding and they might all go sky high

The leader said they would go on horse

And with a quip Benji let him know he was coarse

On that bit awkward note the three were departed

And one knew this was not a trip for the fainthearted

For the mortal affairs

Mortals would give them what is theirs

Of course Benji was different from his peers

They tended to be ones to grind gears

While he was with them, both immortals

And they could generate portals

And Kagens are what they called their name

And to all but one, they would call Benji a bane

This made for annoyance

When the leader acted like he had clairvoyance

And on the primitive world within the group traveled

Then identities quickly unraveled

First off was the one I was familiar with the most

And in their adventures I could boast

And of course this Kagen was known as Bright

Once I feared him but now he knew him as a knight

As their horses trotted along, in the golden sun

The two knew that soon after they would both be back on the run

Still hoping from place to place, along the void

Well Benji thought of it nice, especially when they destroyed the android

Bright fought for good and with a smile he beamed

I knew in my heart that after all Benji's work he had been redeemed

The world that they were in was primitive

Trees loitering in the land filled with medieval like citizens

And as our horses trotted along, Benji looked to his side

And sitting there was the man who once controlled the tide

Twilight was his name

And in the previous universe he might have gained some acclaim

And they knew that when we arrived, he surely was now a bit mean

But that didn't matter because they arrived at the scene

Two groups had arrived at the clearing

And it was obvious that the conflict between both was nearing

They dismounted our horses

And he knew this fight wouldn't be fought with armed forces

Unlike the world of his own where war was fought with guns

Benji knew this wouldn't be fun

Yet for the future civilization here might know

With this worldly forest, a different Earth with a war fought with arrows and bow

And as the Kagens approached them, their leader looked to be stand over them

If all went right then after the end they would be under his thumb

Benji glared to his side, "This idiot is going in with too much aplomb"

"And why am I rhyming without qualm?"

The Kagen sighed, "It's a filter placed on this dimension"

"Just leave it alone and don't give it much attention."

"Whoo boy this is going to kill me."

The leader, Twilight acting as much as a marquis

Stood above the settlers looking with false care

Alas they knew he was filled with hot air

"Sir." A settler spoke

"What will you do to end this war in one stroke?"

"We will build a wall straight uppity!"

Twilight said with not much subtlety

"Has the fool not learned not to attain peace?"

I said looking at the Kagen filled with caprice

"But why must we be separated can our races not live together?"

"Trust me this will send this place into the nether."

I stood up and decided that it would be me who spoke

"I disagree, you Kagen bloke."

"Ah and look at that the Earth one talks."

"Who gives you the right here in the boondocks?"

"I think you're in the wrong."

"And I think I have the right, I am just as strong."

"Twilight!" Bright yelled

And the Kagen's head unswelled

"Ah and see the dragon emperor speak."

Twilight spoke, trying to make his brother meek

"Brother I don't have to play that game."

"Why do I have to take all the blame?"

"Either way this wall needs to be built."

Twilight said trying to make the other two wilt

"No it doesn't peace can be attained."

Benji said becoming quite strained.

Twilight turned and frowned, "And you think I should care?"

"I have a far more than a million words in my share."

"To spend the time helping each and everyone"

"You should do it then!" Benji said with the force of a metric ton

"Twilight, you know he is right, one Kagen cannot handle it all."

Bright spoke, "We need to give all the attention to these meatballs."

"Fine then, go to the next adventure that you need."

"And on this world on one will bleed."

Twilight took some humbleness and looked at the two

"The people here will be glued."

"Together one in the same."

"Truly this has been an interesting day."

"No really don't screw this up, use the most subtle touch."

Benji spoke, "I think this world has had too much."

One of the leaders approached, "Well maybe this will be peace in our time."

Benji glared at Twilight, "Careful, that last time that was said it was a war crime."

"Do not underestimate our world, we will find a deal that is fair."

"I will help you most honestly, I do swear."

Twilight spoke and tried to look like an open book

"Well Twilight, don't tell me you're not a crook."

Benji spoke, "Well as long as you're not a used car salesmen."

"Either way Twilight, we'll be off, help this world find Zen."

"Don't disappoint me for Dawn's sake."

"Well we have a lot at stake."

"Good luck brother."

"Don't smother."

And like that we on horses were off

And between us not a cough

Until at the landing we arrived

Benji sighed, somehow we survived

"He's becoming more erratic." he pointed out

Bright spoke, "I won't give it a doubt."

"This rhyming is killing me, let's get off this planet."

And Twilight getting off the horse, put his hand up, "Okay, Janet."

"See what I mean."

"Don't worry my queen."

And with a bow of loyalty

In a portal we took off like royalty

To each and every world that came next

To explore the universe, so complex

And really the lesson learned that day is that sometimes people

Lean too much on their own steeple

And forget their own ideals

And end up falling on deals

Of course most of all, don't build a wall

Because either way, one day it will fall
