Chapter 1: A Great Change


I packed my bags, taking one last look at the room I had called my own since I was three. The walls were full of memories, the shelves full of good times past. The rays of night light, emanating through my window softly, made the scene feel much more solemn. I wanted to stay, I really did. But at the end of the day, I was not wanted, nor was I needed here. In the end, that is what drove me over the edge.

I said a silent goodbye to my previous life, quietly watching my mother as she slept. Grimacing, I turned away. It was now or never, and if it was never, I would be alone forever. No. Not necessarily alone. I looked at my precious Beyblade, MF-H Thunder Gil 100CS. I chuckled, remembering battles in the park that I won and lost. I decided that if I stayed longer, I wouldn’t have the courage to leave. I opened the window, placing one leg over. I swept my eyes over my room… No, wait. It wasn’t my room anymore. It was just a room. I dropped over the side, vowing never to return until I found whatever was missing in my life.

I hit the ground, and sprang up, placing Gil into my pocket and searching the street. “Al, over here!” “Hm?” I turned, and saw my two best friends, Jan and Terrance. “Jan? I thought you said…” “I lied. I’m coming too. Don’t worry! I have Virgo, so there’s no problem.” Jan held out her Basalt Virgo CH120WD. Terrence scoffed. “We have no money, this is stupid.” I raised an eyebrow. “Did you come to attempt to change my mind?” “Yes.” “Do you realize it’s not going to work?” Terrence sighed. “Whatever, I’m going home.” Jan shrugged. “Go on ahead. It’s not like we’re forcing you to come, anyway.” Terrence looked at Jan, and I stared at the back of his head. “Whatever, you’re both morons. I guess that I should have enough money to last a week. I figure that you’ll be crying to go back home by then.” Good old Terrence! I knew we could count on him! “Actually, I made sure we have a way of staying afloat. There are quite a few minor tournaments not too far from here, and we should be able to make a bit of money there. So, everyone ready to go?” Jan nodded, and Terrence gave a little grunt that I could only take as a “yes”.

Again, I looked back at my house, still dark. My parents hadn’t noticed. I prepared myself to face the many trials ahead. I knew what I was getting into, and I felt that it was worth it. As I left my small town, something told me that nothing would be the same again. At the edge of town, I could see lights spread throughout the town. One parent figured out that we were missing, and alerted the others. Looking at the others, I asked them one last time. “Are you ready?” Both nodded. “Well, let’s get out of here!” And we ran. We ran, and never looked back.

Entry 2

It started out as A Normal Day Sun is Shinning, Calm Winds blowing through The trees, Not to Hot, Not to Cold, people playing Beyblades in the Large Stadium, Spinning Tops clashing, Making sparks as they kept going to see who would Finish First. I Also played this Game. It kept me From being bored And something to do after My Homework. Me and my Friends play Day after Day, Getting stronger, Improving our Beyspirits , and Just having fun. But then it Happened.

A New game called Battle Strikers came and Tried to take over Beyblade with Battle Strikers. Each day More Bladers started using Battle Strikers controlling The top, And Everyone tossing Their Beyblades, Bladerspirit all Away. Me and my friends Remain on Beyblade with Maximum Beyspirit as Possible but these Are a lot stronger Than Beyblades. One day we will Take these things Down and Prove that Beyblade will always Be Number 1. One day I Tried facing a Battle Striker for The first Time and This is what Happened…

“You!” A Stranger walked up to Me. The boy Had Blue Shorts on, A White T-Shirt On, and he had A Red And black Launcher in His hand that Looked like a Battle Striker Launcher. “What?” I Said Really Confused. “Battle with Me Right now!” The boy Looked like he Meant business and I Never back away from A Challenge. We Walked to the Closest Arena which was Near a Pool. The stadium was A Black Flat stadium with Two holes on the Side and it said Battle Strikers. We got our Launchers out And loaded our tops. “Don’t tell me Your using A Beyblade, Get with the Program no One uses those Sad excuse for A Spinning top!” I Said nothing Not letting him Mess up My determination. “Alright Ready, Set, Strike!” My opponent quickly Pulled out his Controller.. “Let’s go Piranha!” He moved his finger In a circle Creating more Rotation and Attacked Pegasus. “Come on Pegasus Counter!” My Pegasus Dodged the Attack and came up from Behind and attacked under and Got better hits thanks to the Screw Wheel . “Not good Enough!” “Lean Down Piranha!”He aimed his controller downward and attacked the Facebolt. His Striker also Decreased Pegasus’s Rotation as it got farther to the Ground.. “ARRGGHHH What should I Do!”

I Panicked Thinking of a Plan. “Pegasus Come on Push it!” My Pegasus attacked the Tip Of the Striker, But it also Made the Striker lean further to the Ground. Finally I Said.. “Special Move Pegasus Star Crusher!” My bey Escaped knocking the Striker off of it, And it raced around the Stadium with Star Blue colors behind it. And it soon left a ring of a Star Blue color. With tremendous Speed My bey raced towards the Stadium were Piranha was and made contact with it. There was so much power there was An explosion! Nothing could be Seen only black Smoke from the Explosion. Finally the Smoke cleared up and….

There were both still Spinning! “What how could have this Happen?” “I Blocked the Attack!” He smiled Proudly. “Alright let’s Finish this up!” “Go Piranha!” “Come on Pegasus!” I Yelled. The Tops went full force Attacking left and Right, And weirdly The boy Was not using his Controller. The Tops kept attacking With little power. I Didn’t Have enough power for Another Special Move so I Had to rely on Pegasus strength. “Attack, Attack, Attack, Attack Piranha!” Go, Go, Go, Go Pegasus!” We both cheered on our Tops. Then they Finally came into the Middle and just Shredded each other Without moving, staying in that One place. All you could hear was Tops Damaging each other, Metal Clashing. There were two tops, Only one could survive, I Had to give it my all If I Want to save Beyblade. “Do it Pegasus!” “ Go piranha!” The sound got even louder Then before. But then I Noticed something, My Pegasus started glowing and The bit-beast Came out of Pegasus! It raced into the Sky leaving Blue feathers as It went higher. My opponent was shocked He could not Move. As the Majestic Horse Danced in the Sky it Flew down Aerodynamically At Piranha And Struck it, The actual bey itself Charged itself with power then Just made Infinite Power with Piranha. Before I knew it Piranha Got Forced out the Stadium into the Pool. “No my Piranha!” The boy leaped into the Pool to get his striker while I Picked up my Pegasus And left The Stadium With my Damaged Bey. I Knew There would be harder Battles Coming up But me and My friends could handle it, And definitely Pegasus can. I Had faith in Us No matter What!

I would avoid using "WBO Tournament" : it is extremely misleading.

Blargh, yeah. I'll change that.
EDIT: Done

I vote for Entry One. The way that the writer describes it is amazing, I love the details and word choice. They matched the theme perfectly, and they made it interesting to read. That was one of the best beyblade related writing pieces that I have ever read!

Entry one honestly had a GRIP on the reader BUT number two also had a grip as we compared pirahna to pegasus . So I would have to say number two, sory number one,

I vote for entry 1.

Not only does it totally capture the idea of the theme, but the author was able to combine dialogue with description.


I would advise the writer of entry 2 that, though it was well written and the flow was good, s/he made the jumps from thing to another. Instead of writing multiple scenes, I think the idea for this theme was to write about 1, making it extremely difficult.
