Howdy boys and girls. I'm back and ready to start the June CBUB Monthly Challenge. What started here... http://www.electricf...=0

...is back. I'm ready to see some new faces step up and earn the coveted Hall of Fame. So, let's see what the CBUB is made of and get this party started, shall we?

The Premise

Monthly, a writing challenge will be posted on this portion of the forums. Anybody who wants to write on the CBUB is able to participate. To participate simply create a match that follows the challenge rules to the CBUB main page. Then post a link to that fight on this page. Only one entry per contestant. There will be a two week deadline to post your match. Miss the deadline? Better luck next month. Five judges will pick their favorite matches based on creativity, uniqueness and all that writing mumbo jumbo. The Top Three winners will be announced here with the main winners fight going to the Official CBUB Hall Of Fame board as the writer of the month.

The Judges

Ruinus, Culwych, Lonewolf, Darkender and Yours Truly

The Deadline

The June Challenge will take place between the days of June 11th through the 22nd.

The Challenge/Rules

Betrayal: Two fomerly good friends end up on opposite sides of a conflict. Doesn't matter what, a war, a battle, a dance competition, whatever. Two friends end up fighting in some way.

So start your engines and start plotting your reign over the CBUB. Challenge starts Monday.

[treacherous]

Okay, it's on!

[DSkillz]

Heh, nobody even posted in the Theme Pool this time.

Alright, I'll see what I can come up with.

[treacherous]

That was my fault. Didn't really advertise. I picked one Ruinus threw in there. Regardless, I hope you guys are participating, because at the half of the year I am going to do a Contest of Champions with the past winners.

[bigballerju]

Hmm interesting choice of topic and its a good one thats gone require some thinking.

[treacherous]

I'm seeing Jake and Finn, Mario and Luigi, but I also like to be surprised.

[Peypeypeypey]

Hey! I can use my idea from last time now! I love not having to think!

[DSkillz]

Watch somebody role-reverse Prof. X and Magneto.

[Marvel Man]

Aaaaaawwwweeee snapz!

A new CBUB Monthly Challenge? I think I've secured my spot among the famed procrastinators. Time to dig deep for that inner writer-self. Good luck fellow writers!

[corvette1710]

*Jumps writer's block like a hurdle* BLARGH.

That translates to something in some language or another.
EDIT: Sonya Blade vs Jax coming right up!

[ScrewAttackFan25]

So the match is basically:

"Why did you turn on me?"

"Because (insert reason here)"

"I don't want to fight you."

Right?

[corvette1710]

I don't think that's the strict format...

[Redemption X]

I'm joining in.

I have the match saved, will write the setup later. With the new computer up and running, this hopefully won't take as long as the May challenge entry.

Also, it's gonna be another Universe Beta match, so you may want to do research on that. The two characters that I picked aren't friends in canon, but they are friends (and teammates) in Universe Beta.

[bigballerju]

Funny the challenge didn't mention anything about Universe beta. You may want to check that first to be sure it's okay.

[Redemption X]

I read the rules. I never, not once, read a rule that said "the friends have to be from the same canonical universe". In any case, I have the match saved, so all I have to do is write the setup now.

[LoneWolf]

You can do what you want with the characters, it is YOUR match after all. You can have Silver Surfer be Sabretooth's brother, or Green Arrow's uncle or say Cyclop's visor now shoots ice and he rides in a flying wheelchair, whatever.. no limits. Naturally it must be -explained- though.

[Redemption X]

Do I really need to go into the history of Universe Beta, or the backstory for the Alpha Team? Just search for "Alpha Team" in the archives.

If you are still unwilling to do so:

In Universe Beta, there exist a special breed of humans, the Changers. As you all know, evolution is constantly moving forward, always advancing. In Universe Beta, evolution has taken a new leap forward, creating Changers, men and women and children born with superhuman abilities. Professor Tobin Wozzeck is an elderly Changer with the power of reality-warping who has dedicated his life to a single cause: he gathers teenage Changers from all across the U.S.A., Changers who have no real aim and purpose in life, and gives them shelter in his mansion. There, he trains Changers so they can use their powers to protect humanity from all evil. They are the Alpha Team, his special group of superheroes. The Alpha Team consists of:

-Violet Parr from "The Incredibles" (the team leader), code-named "Lady Incredible"

-Carrie White from "Carrie" (the movie AND the book), code-named "Godchild"

-Charlie McGee from "Firestarter" (the movie AND the book), code-named "Flamebird"

-David Rice from "Jumper" (ONLY the movie), code-named, well..."Jumper"

-Jeremy Reed from "Powder", code-named "Voltage"

-Allie Keys from "Taken", code-named "Starchild"

I rarely use the codenames in CBUB in order not to confuse people. Also, Yun Sook from the book "Enormity" joined the team during the Guardians Era (her code-named was "Angel"), but my fight takes place in the Venturers Era so she won't be in it.

And, before anyone asks: the Changers aren't Mutants. Mutants are the product of the Celestials tampering with human evolution, while Changers are the natural product of unchanged evolution (both Mutants and Changers exist in Universe Beta).

There, that's the explanation.

[Darkender]

While it's nice you explained what Universe Beta was (Cause I really had no idea), I think he meant that in the set up it must be explained. For this challenge we expect a little more from the writers' set ups which means you may need to add backstory to your fight if you want the judges that are reading to better understand what is going on. This will lead to a better grade. I'm still not entirely sure what Universe Beta is but I have nothing against it as long as it's a real thing.

[treacherous]

I have nothing against it. Long as it doesn't suck.

[chaditude]

can one of the friends be under a spell or something
