Because a) I have a life, b) Adam is LE BAMF and c) I get carried away, here to break my LJ Hiatus is my Poetic Retelling of Takezo Kensei/Adam Monroe's life up to the end of Series 2, Heroes-wise.
LJ-CUT = Broken, sorry! D:
**SPOILERS FOR HEROES SEASON 2 FOR THOSE DEPRIVED AMONG US**
Adam Monroe's life was full of woe
And so he made a plan, and ran away to Japan
To get entirely away, he changed his name to Kensei
Hiro found him there, but was filled with dispair (at finding that he wasn't an epic heroic overloard man)
Hiro planned to draw out his potential, and so became residential (and Kensei's new BFFL)
The town got on fire, but Kensei had no desire (to save the place, cause he was leaving anyway)
And so he did a bunk, and got overly drunk (and Hiro gave him a DUNK in a water trough)
Yaeko nicked his sword, because she got bored
of his lazy ass attitude, and thought he was damned rude.
The ninja guys stole Yaeko, and Hiro said he must go (and save her ptchya!)
But he couldn't be assed, so Hiro took his armour and passed (for him instead.)
The next thing he knows, he's an obsession of Yaeko's (and he thinks that went pretty well for a day at the pub, tbh.)
After this Kensei soon decided, that he and Hiro oughtn't to be divided (because he has like... matchmaking skills or summit.)
After Yaeko's captors he goes, but forgets protective clothes,
When facing these guys, he gets shot lots and dies (D:)
When the arrows were removed, magical healing ensued
Opening his eyes, he sees his death was all LIES
'It will take more than three arrows to kill me!"
Thinking this is mighty strange, Adam goes a bit deranged
He thinks he has been cursed, but as Hiro points out - it could be worse!
Wondering how it can be, he takes a knife to himself just to see
that he can constantly heal - that's kind of a big deal
Teleportation Hiro demonstrates, suddenly this 'curse' thing seems pretty great
Hiro is destiny obsessed, but with a smarter mind Kensei's blessed
he sits and thinks 'I'm no dope, this power can make me rich as the Pope!'
Hiro zaps them to another place, and shoves 99 enemies in his face (whoever planned this party is a disgrace! >O)
"Pwn these noobs, that's how we roll! And my picture books tell me we need that scroll!"
For new-found-ninja Takezo Kensei, taking them down is child's play
Victorious, Takezo returns to say, "I'm full of WIN, I SAVED THE DAY!" (but then Hiro says he's going away. 'Way to piss on my bonfire, carp.")
He goes off until a bit later when, he decided he's coming back again (thanks Hiro for being so damned decisive.)
Hiro then turns into a cat...Kensei doesn't much know what to make of that,
But regardless of this, a task is theirs - they go into some caves and kill some bears.
The fragment of tappestry rescued there, isn't much of a reward for such a ridiculous dare.
They took it to Yaeko anyway, because she knows all, apparent-lay.
To save her dad they have to go to the epic-sized camp they find below (as they are on a cliff at this point, where Yaeko hangs out to do her colouring books.)
Later on, after dark, Kensei kicks some on-screen arse,
The tent's on fire - holy shit - is that the one with explosives in it? (...yes.)
"Hey, Yaeko's dad - yeah you with the beard, I'll free you if you destroy these guns before this gets weird."
"Guns aren't allowed because honour's at stake, let's get the hell out before we start to bake!"
We all know explosions are pretty dramatic, we'll skip that bit then, though it was pretty emphatic,
Cause Kensei's best friend he's about to demote, he catches him with his tongue down Yaeko's throat.
Swords may not hurt him, but deary me, nothing's as painful as that sight to see
Yaeko and Hiro under the cherry tree -- great sort of friend he turned out to be.
He seems to forgive, but he never forgets, he'll make sure this is something that Hiro regrets.
Whitebeard returns with an offer at hand, "Anything you want Kensei, if you come join my band!" (Of merry men.)
He then drugs Hiro and ties Yaeko up, and boasts about what Whitebeard's going to cough up,
Half of Japan, and the tied up girl too, it's hardly perfect, but damn it will do (and on top he get's to take down Hiro, too!)
Hiro however has another plan, he's not happy enough being Yaeko's true man,
to make his escape he whips out his sword, a fight ensues, but then he gets bored,
and blows the place up instead, teleporting away before assuming Kensei's dead.
As if Hiro wasn't already to blame, Yaeko call's him the real Kensei, putting Adam to shame.
Revived Adam leaves and gets a new life, and a bunch of years later, gets a new wife.
She was not the first, nor was she the last, bloody hell, Adam's got a ruddy long past.
Wife number one ran away and became a nun!
Wife number two has babies which poo (ed too much, so Adam ran away.)
Wife number three, died of foundation overkill - whee!
Wife number four was a downright bore, actually. And he faked his death and ran away xD
Wife number five, stayed alive and lied (about Adam being her various sons and grandsons)
Wife number six died out in the sticks, which caught fire when Adam was off pwning people in the war.
Wife number seven, get's TB, healy blood and THEN... goes on to live happily and die
Wife number eight saw Adam regenerate. and then proceeded to drink her liver to death and die
Wife number nine had a dramatic decline! Cheating on him, her lover shot him and chucked him off a cliff - so he came back to hill them both next day, goshdomot they fail.
Wife number ten, goes off and marries again. And has kids while he's in prison domot.
And that's as far as the current story goes, with that I'll bring this poem to a close. (ONOES!)
