Years have passed since a war ravaged the land, turning it into a state of utter disarray and leaving many places uninhabitable for a good many. Almost 20 years later, with the help of everyone, from organisations big and small, criminal and moral, blader and non-blader, talking animals alike, the world has been made a bit safer. Major areas turned into Sectors, protected by domes and walls, connected by tunnels. Though the heroes failed, it seems like things are finally getting back to a steady state. ..But you never know what darkness lurks behind a smile. Dolce is a 14-15 year old girl, on her own path to fix what's been broken. But can her scars be healed? Finding herself in many misadventures and tight situations, friends become enemies, enemies become friends, love turns to hate, and lines are crossed that can never be uncrossed. As she goes about her path for redemption with nothing but the clothes on her back, the bey in her hand, the friends by her side, and the stain on her heart. Where's the line between darkness and light drawn? What happens when a pure heart falls prey? What happened at the zoo? Most of these questions are explored. This story has nothing to do with the original beyblade, beyblade metal or burst series'. It is an original work of fanmade fiction, in the beyblade setting. This will be a 7 "Season" story. By that I mean chapters will make up parts that will be labeled as a season. Think of this like reading an anime. Chapters are called Episodes, however are written like chapters. The logic is anime. And keep in mind that I have not seen all of the anime as of writing this. I did this for fun. 🤷🏼 I don't know. I figure someone out there might find it interesting. Season 1: Hope's frontier Season 2: Hope's Halls Season 3: Hope's Heart Season 4: Hope's Edge Season 5: Hope's Melody Season 6: Hope's Shards Season 7: What hope remains Enjoy.

(Please make sure to read the last paragraph. It's important.) Moving on is never easy, especially from a past full of pain you were born into. Knowing only yourself and your immediate family, keeping the world out, it's not easy to step outside the lines. In a world where traveling is a norm, and everyone makes your alarms go off, how are you to ever make friends? What happens when you're so used to having your walls up, that once they're down and you have a taste of the world you've been denying yourself, and you want more? Confused and flying by the seat of her pants, this is what Selene Fuentes faces. A world she has only ever seen and read about, but has deliberately never taken part in. Until her family moves, and she ends up finding a door in her walls that she thought was locked forever. Stuck in her life before, and plagued with hatred and fear of losing her control. She knows it's not good for her, but watches her loved ones move on as she is stuck. Then the door is unlocked, and she is given the most important choice of her life. Go with what is comfortable, or open the door. Not for someone else, but for herself. This is a story of personal growth and coping. Looking towards the future even when your instincts are to stay where you are. With themes of hope, family, and obviously finding yourself. As well as a few darker topics such as abuse, mental problems, and mature themes like substance use. But they are handled with respect, as I did my research, and wanted to portray them correctly. I do not play these off as comedic releaf, or shock value. Except for the people who smoke weed. That's not a problem it's just something that happens. I wanted the story to be a little more realistic. But it also has anime world physics, like if a Pokemon spits fire at someone, they will be covered in sut. And anime logic. As well as cussing. So please read with caution if you're sensitive to any of this. And please enjoy.
