BEAT BATTLES: Gally (The Maze Runner) vs. Jack Merridew (Lord of the Flies)

For a very long time I’ve been a fan of the Maze Runner series and wanted to make a battle involving it for fun. But I could never think of a compelling idea. Then Lord of the Flies comes along. I read it in like 6th grade, reading being pretty much the only thing I was exceptionally advanced at, and now years later I recently read it again in high school. At first I was thinking Thomas vs. Ralph, but I came across this beat while searching and realized that a battle of the antagonists would be far more interesting.

JACK MERRIDEW

VERSUS

GALLY

FIGHT!

[Gally]

Sit down, shank! Welcome to world war 3

You walk with a big stick, but that’s purely compensatory

‘Cause you and your hunters can’t stop me, just come at me

Slingin’ stones can break a pig’s bones but a sting from a thing even can’t drop me

Little baby lost, tryin’ to fight a beast within his head

Choir boy can sing songs of death but all he’s good for is wettin’ the bed

And don’t you try and go all Vlad the Impaler on me

You are foes of no match for me and my civilized society

Roger that on the double, Simon says that Merridew is toast

If you spent even a day in my Glade, you’d be nothing but a ghost

[Jack Merridew]

Painted face and long hair, Jack watches and prepares for his hunt

The true enemy here is the beast that’s inside all of us

Parachuting down from the skies and eating away at your mind

A deadhead, enough said, you’ve got no time to make these rhymes

Scorched and burdened, beat and broken, Gally’s totally “shucked.”

You’ve got no reason to even be a character, mate, so just give up

[Gally]

That’s it, I’ve had it listening to this psychopathic youth

Blinded by rage but also blinded from the dirty dirty truth

So let’s not forget which one of us is a hero, here

I took action upon seeing I was wrong! I didn’t break down in baby tears

We’re both the same, kid, we’re being messed with in our brains

But you can’t find it in you to even try to break your chains

All you do is kill, bite, claw, scratch, and bleed

I’ll just be out trying to help save humanity if you need me

[Roger]

Oh forget this, let’s just drop a rock on his head

[Robert]

Yeah, we’ll cook ‘im up!

[Maurice]

Uh huh! A feast and everyone will be fed!

[Jack Merridew]

Shut up, you idiots. This is the chief’s fight!

I’ll reign terror across your homestead, an ending of eternal grey night

So forget all that hero nonsense, you’re weak and we’re strong; once again I have won

We don’t let our past hurt us, oh that’s right - you don’t have one


 * Jack and hunters laugh*

Yeah! And forgetting the truth? Haha! Gally’s one to talk!

You-

[Bill]

His eyebrows arch higher than Castle Rock

[Jack Merridew]

Shut it! I’m taking over this battle with this wildfire I’ve started

Now the land is green, the sky is blue, and the ash has parted

[BB Announcer]

WHO WON?

WHO’S NEXT?

YOU DECIDE
