User blog:MyWorld/The New Hunger Games 2: The Death Games

Welcome!
Hey everyone! First off, sorry to all for failing to update my previous games. I couldn't really handle 52 tributes and wasn't motivated to write the reapings. These games are being made because this time, I Promise I will update. These are my second hunger games, called "'''New Hunger Games 2: The Death Games." '''Note that my first Hunger Games in this series, called The New Hunger Games 1: The Eversion Games is still trying to get finished. I am unsure if I will finish them or not. Thanks for checking this game out, and please submit a tribute :).

Rules And Other Important Information
1. I am looking for limit of 3 tributes each. HOWEVER, I am only accepting one career tribute from each user. These numbers may increase if this game doesn't get popular, though.

2. Please don't be rude to other users or be rude to me because your tribute died.

3. I will allow a reservation for any spot that's available. There's no real expiration but just make sure it doesn't take a week to post your tribute or I may remove your reservation.

4. Because my lazy self couldn't handle 52 tributes, (Just look at my slow update times in the previous game.) there will only be 1 male and female from each district this time. I will however include the Capital along with District 13, though.

5. I usually try to make sure that at least one of everyone's tribute makes it past the Bloodbath. There are also ways for me to increase your tribute's chances of making it far into the games. 6. Be sure to post advice in-game. This is REALLY important, not only so I know what your tribute wants to do during the game, but so your tributes chance of winning will increase.
 * Be active and comment to show your still following
 * Make it so your tribute is nice and detailed

7. Here is the tribute templete: (Stolen from Ninja Toast again, but edited it a bit, so give him credit here, too.)

Name: (First and Last name minimum.)

Age: (Ranged 12-18)

Gender: (Male or Female)

District: (List as many as you are willing to take, in order of preference.)

Personality:

Appearence: (Typed, lunaii's, and pictures allowed)

Height:

Weapon: (1 minimum, 3 maximum)

Strengths: (To make sure I don't have any super tributes...)

Weaknesses: (Make sure the number of strengths and weaknesses is the same)

Fear: (1 minimum)

Alliance: Choices: Careers (You know what this is.) Anti-Careers (A large alliance that anyone can join.) Alone (Will go solo in games.) Or list the tributes you are allying with. You can also say you are looking for an alliance. Anyone who is still undecided when I start Individual Training will automatically join the Anti-Careers.

Bloodbath Strategy: (Tell what you want your tribute to do in the Bloodbath here. Strategies while in-game will be told by advice.)

Backstory:

Tribute Token:

All the bold words are requirements, and I won't accept a tribute without one. Backstory and Tribute Token is optional, but if you want your tribute to be nice and detailed so I can increase his/her chances of winning, it is advised you add those, too.

8. You can post lunaiis or pictures but I don't want a gallery for now so I won't do anything with them.

9. I don't use any curse words but will use words like stupid, dumb, loser, etc.

10. Other then the actual games, there will only be Individual Training. If I feel like it, I may add a little pre-games, but I would like to get to the action fast, and writing stuff like the reapings and interviews will just slow me down.

11. And that's it for the rules! If there is an error or problem I make please let me know and I'll fix it.

Alright now with the rules over with let's get to the real thing.

Story And Twist
After the 1st New Hunger Games ended, there was many complaints from Gamemakers that they were having a hard time managing all 52 tributes. The new Panem president, President Fire, didn't want to do this at first, but then later accepted this because he had an idea. He told the Gamemakers that he will reduce the games to 1 male and 1 female from each district ONLY if they could include a male and female from the Capital to join the games. The Gamemakers had little choice but to accept, so now the games are down to 28 tributes; one male and female from the Capital and districts 1-13.

Now for the twist. It was already announced that the reapings are reduced to only one male and female. Everyone in Panem but the Capital citizens were happy. However, opinions changed when President Fire announced the twist for this game.

"So we could see the same amount of action in-game despite having the number of tributes be reduced by almost in half, I have decided to team up creatures from The Netherworld and President Snow's ghost to create an arena with the most evil traps and obstacles known to mankind. What the arena will be like will be revealed later. Thank you, and happy New Hunger Games!"

All the citizens in Panem went from being happy to being shocked. Just how evil will this new arena look? With President Fire teaming up with creatures from The Netherworld (A world were ghosts, dragons, and other monsters live.) and with President Snow's ghost, the last president to have the Hunger Games, it must look pretty evil.

Arena
The Arena will be split into 2 sections; a Forest and an abandoned Village, with a Cornucopia surrounded by a small area of grasslands in the middle. The Forest will be a better spot to hide from other tributes but you will have a better chance of running into Mutts. The Forest will also contain caves for tributes to stay in. The abandoned Village will be a better spot to avoid Mutts but other tributes will be more likely to find you. Some of the houses in the Village are huge. Some of these big houses contain a maze and if you can make it through the maze, you will find a special weapon and some food and water.

Now for the exciting twist!

Twist
These games won't be called the Death Games for nothing. The interesting twist here is that it is dangerous to be in the open at night. Why? Zombies. Everynight, Zombies will be released into the Arena. The good news is that you won't turn into a Zombie if one simply bites you. The bad news is that any tributes who dies will be revived into Zombies the next night. These revived tribute Zombies are stronger and harder to kill then regular Zombies. You can easily recognize the tribute who was revived into a Zombie. More bad news is that the Zombies in this games are not slow like other Zombies you normally see, they can actually move at a pretty decent speed. You can weaken and die if a Zombie bites you multiple times in a row. Luckily, caves in the Forest and houses in the Village are safe spots from these Zombies at night. So beware if you want to go tribute hunting during the night! Don't forgot other Mutts too, such as wolves, bears, etc. Lastly, the "special weapon" I was talking about earlier will be something like a flamethrower or another weapon that will destroy the Zombies more easily.

POVS
The POVS will go like this; a random tribute from each district. I will try to make sure that at least 1 of each user's tributes will have a POV during the actual Individual Training. Then the POVS throughout the actual games will be random.

Individual Training
I will start these once I get all the tributes.

Cherry Laver (Capital)
I am waiting in a room filled with 27 other tributes. Until my name gets called, which should be shortly as The Capital tributes will be called first, I talk to the career tributes. The reason why I'm doing this is because I hate waiting and talking to others will keep me busy. Another and more important reason is because I am trying to join the career alliance and getting to know them first is a good start. Another good step will be impressing them with a high training score. I could of brought a bottle of liquor with me but I didn't think the careers would be too impressed with me drinking in front of them.

"Cherry Laver." A voice announces from somewhere loud enough so that everyone can hear it over the chatter. I say goodbye to the careers and walk to the doors at the end of the room. I walk into a room with the Gamemakers watching from the side. A forcefield is around them; I guess they still didn't forget the accident in the 74th old Hunger Games. Fortunately the Gamemakers don't look bored as I'm the first to be called; a small advantage I get if I want to get a high training score.

"Cherry Laver, Capital." I announce. All of the Gamemakers look closely at me. Now is the time for me to act. I take out some knives; my favorite weapon to user, and quickly head over to this station with about 10 dummies lined up. This is good for me because I am fast and what I'll do with combine speed and good weapon usage. I take a deep breath, relax and throw my first knife at the first dummy. The knife hits the dummy right on the center of the chest. I feel a boost of confidence in myself. I throw the rest of the knives at the dummies with great accuracy. I look at the Gamemakers, and they nod, as if they were pretty impressed with my performance.

I get dismissed to leave the room and exit the room with good confidence in myself. If I can just get at least an 8, then that should convince the careers enough that I deserve to be with them. I would also like to see others view the Capital as having career tributes.

Jeffery Killheart (District 1)
I am waiting in a room filled with other tributes scattered around. I mainly have been by myself ever since I got reaped. All of the tributes are probably too terrified by my face that got messed up in a accident I had back home with a few troublemakers. I did talk to some career tributes for a bit because they think I'll be a good addition to their alliance. I may think about joining later but not right now. I saw 3 other tributes leave the room already. I am unsure on what they did and where they are right now. All I know is that I better get prepared because my name should be announced quickly and I'll see what those tributes were doing behind those doors.

"Jeffrey Killheart." A voice from somewhere announces. Looks like it is my turn. I start to walk toward the doors to the Individual Training room. Some of the weaker tributes try to avoid looking at me which I find kind of funny. They will be fun targets when the games start. I walk through the doors and into a room with the Gamemakers watching from the side. They are protected by a forcefield, so unfortunately I can't use them to show The Capital how I can kill. I do however see some dummies line up that I can practice killing. It won't have the same feeling as killing someone for real but its better than nothing.

"Jeffrey Killheart. District 1." I say to the Gamemakers. Some of them are freaked out by my appearance and my voice, but as long as I have their attention I am Ok. I reach for a knife. A very sharp knife. I start to head toward the section with a row of 10 dummies. I easily hit the first 9 dummies by throwing knives into their skull or heart. Since the Gamemakers don't look all that impressed, I decided to change the last kill. I knock the dummy down, whisper "Go to sleep." to it, and slowly push the knife into the dummy's skull. I then with all my strength push on the knife, putting it almost through the dummy's head. The Gamemakers look wide-eyed. I don't think they saw a kill as brutal as that.

I get dismissed to leave the room and exit the room. I hope The Capital enjoyed that, and will give me a good training score. No matter what score I get, I know I will be the one who wins the games. I will kill the tributes in their sleep just like how I killed that last dummy. Nothing will be able to stop me.

Veronica Morderkaiser (District 2)
My name is going to be called next. I don't really get what the point of Individual Training; only how good you do in the actual games matter. However, one of the tributes in my alliance, Frade from District 3, wants to be the leader of the careers. I will allow no one other then myself to lead this alliance. Besides, I am part of a family that is meant to have leaders and victors. All the tributes to me are basically just obstacles I need to destroy to achieve victor status and my alliance members are tools that will help me destroy them, although I'll need to destroy them too eventually.

"Veronica Morderkaiser." A voice announces. Time to show Frade and the others how I deserve to be number 1 in the careers. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They are just regular tools to me just like most other people I know. They do look kind of freaked out, though. Probably because Jeffrey's name got called before mine and he is freaky enough to scare most people, but not me. Time for me to show The Capital what I can do.

"Veronica Morderkaiser. District 2." I shout loud enough so they can get out of their fear mood and into the mood of paying attention to me. The Gamemakers look toward me, so now is the time to do my act. I grab a dagger, go to a section with dummies, and do just about every single move I can remember I did during my training at home. What lies is a mess of dead dummies. I still have one more trick up my sleeve. I throw my dagger at the last remaining dummy. The dagger lies right in the bullseye of the dummy's forehead. I have trained for years and years, yes, but even getting a bullseye with a dagger is something I don't do everytime. The Gamemakers stare at the dummy mess, looking pleased with my performance.

Afterwards, I get dismissed, and leave the room feeling pleased with my performance. To me, I need to get an 11 to even meet my expectations for Individual Training and show everyone that I should be the leader of the careers. Once again though, all that matters is how good you do in the games, and I expect myself to win the games and add another victor to the Morderkaiser family.

Frade Spectrus (District 3)
I am still waiting for my name to be called. I am already getting tired of waiting, so I have no idea what the tributes in District 13 must feel. They must feel like they are stuck in hell. When my name does get called, I just hope I can do better then that loser Veronica. I am supposed to be the leader of the careers, not some careless girl. Instead, I am the so-called "Co-Leader" whatever importance that is. If I get a higher training score than her, maybe then she will be convinced enough that I should be the leader. If I'm still not the leader later on, I may get some revenge during the games. Another tribute in the games that I hate is my stupid brother, Shade. He is the leader of the "Anti-Careers" and he is pretty much the opposite of me. I better get a higher score then him as well.

"Frade Spectrus." A voice from somewhere announces. Finally, it is my turn. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. I can see these dumb dummies lined up in a row of 10. I know what I can do. First though I need to get the lazy stupid Gamemakers attention. They are always drunk and sometimes don't even pay attention to you.

"Frade Spectrus! District 3!" I shout very loud so they can snap out of whatever they are doing. They jump in their seats looking surprised. Now I got their attention. I go to the weapons ract and bring out a dagger. I head over toward the row of dummies and swing, throw, and do whatever you can to kill with a dagger. The last I save to bring out a knife I also secretly took from the weapons ract and throw in right at the dummy with the knife landing right in the skull. A huge mess of dummies is whats left in the section. The Gamemakers nod, as if they think I did pretty good. Well, guess what, doing something as stupid as nodding isn't enough. I therefore bring out a thing with a red button in the middle. I stay away from where the dummies were and press the button. An explosion could be heard, and the remains of the dummies are now on fire. Now the Gamemakers look shocked, which I like better. I knew it was a good idea to use that unexpected trap. I get dismissed to leave the room shortly afterwards.

That shocked look on the Gamemakers should be enough for me to get a higher score than both Veronica and my brother, Shade from District 5. Now that idiot Veronica will be begging for me to be the leader and Shade will now know who is the better brother.

Medusa Vantor (District 4)
I am waiting for my name to be called. Most of the career tributes have already left. Only our alliance members not in a career district are left. I have heard a lot of argument today about who is the leader of our alliance, the careers. I prefer to stay away from that kind of stuff so I don't really have an opinion on who is the leader. However, my main attention right now is to get a good training score on Individual Training. I just hope that the Gamemakers aren't too drunk or tired yet.

"Medusa Vantor." A voice announces from somewhere. Alright, it is my turn to go. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They look surprisingly awake. I'm not sure if something from earlier woke them up or what. I'm Ok with it though because I have their attention. I can see dummies lined up in a row at an area in the room. I know what I can do.

"Medusa Vantor. District 4." I say to the Gamemakers. Now time to do my act. I head over to the weapons ract and take out a trident. I then head over to the dummies and stab them with my trident, one by one. This causes a bloody mess. After about 3/4 of them are stabbed, I switch over to a spear. I throw my spear at the remaining dummies with great accuracy. Not perfect, but all of my throws at least hit the dummies at one spot. One of them in fact hit the skull. Ouch. Afterwards, the Gamemakers applaud of my performance.

I get dismissed to leave the room, feeling pretty good with my performance. I don't know if I'll get the best score in the world but I know I got at least a great score. I'm not sure what is happening with the leader situation in my alliance but I am going to take no part in it. I'll just fight with them during the games and late in the games we'll see what happens.

Hannah Hurdensnicker (District 5)
I am still waiting for my name to be called so I can start Individual Training. I have been chatting with members from the anti-careers lately because I have a plan during the games. I will go solo for the first half of the games so I can get supplies and food for myself. If I am still alive about halfway through the games, I will join the anti-careers if I run into them. The others agreed with my plan, so that's all good. Now, I will try to get a good training score.

"Hannah Hurdensnicker." A voice announces. Looks like it is my turn. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They look more awake than I thought they would be, which is good for me. I can see a station with targets lined up. I am a very good archer, so I know what I can do.

"Hannah Hurdensnicker. District 5." I say to the Gamemakers. Now its time to start. I head over to the weapons ract and pull out a bow and some arrows. I then head over to the targets station, take a deep breath, and put an arrow on the bow. I concentrate, release, and watch the arrow fly toward the target. I look at the target, and the arrow lands a little to the right of the center. I shoot another, and this time it lands slightly left of the center. With only one arrow left, I looked at the Gamemakers to see if they're still paying attention. They were still staring at me impatiently, as if they're waiting for something good to happen. I knew it was either this arrow hitting the bullseye or the Gamemakers bored and me getting a low training score. I get my arrow ready, aim carefully at the center, take a deep breath, and let the arrow fly. It flies fast right toward the target. I couldn't believe when my arrow landed right on the bullseye! I rarely can do that even at archery class!

The Gamemakers clap and I get dismissed, feeling good with my performance. That last arrow was all or nothing, and I got right in the bullseye. I feel confident I got a good training score. Next I will see how my plan in the games works out.

Ash Fields (District 6)
There are 14 tributes left in the room including me. That is half of the 28 total. I am waiting for the actual games to start because I have an evil but smart plan that I'm going to use. I will join a random alliance with someone, probably the anti-careers. I will act innocent in front of them like I'm a normal member, but then, out of nowhere when they're not expecting it, I will probably kill another member and take the supplies from the alliance. I don't really care how good I do on Individual Training, but I guess I should get a decent score.

"Ash Fields." A voice announces. Now it is my turn to go. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They don't look too tired, they should be awake enough to pay attention. I can see this one station that has 3 dummies lined up. I know what to do.

"Ash Fields. District 6." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start. I walk to the weapons ract and pull out a spear. I then walk toward the station with the dummies and get my spear ready. I have 3 chances here to impress the Gamemakers. I aim carefully at the first dummy, and throw it. It lands on the stomach. Not too bad, but I need better to impress the Gamemakers. I take my second spear and aim it carefully at the second dummy. I throw it, and it lands a bit higher up on the stomach. Still good, but not enough. I take my final spear and aim it carefully at the last dummy. I aim for the head, take a deep breath, and throw it. The spear lands on the lower part of the head. That should be good enough. The Gamemakers clap, and I get dismissed.

I think I did decent overall. I am more looking forward however to do my plan when the actual games start. It is still a while away, and I do need to survive a couple days in the arena, but it will be fun if I accomplish it. The supplies I get will help me win, too, and I will win for Aurora, an extremely nice neighbor back in District 6.

Cleopatra Andrews (District 7)
My name should be called any minute for Individual Training. I would have been called much earlier if I were still in District 1. I wanted to become one of the first ever victors of the New Hunger Games so I trained hard when I was in District 1. However, my parent's didn't want me to risk dying so we moved to District 7. I don't get as much chances to train there, but I still have District 1 talent. I did end up getting reaped, and because we were in District 7, no one wanted to volunteer. Even though I'm only 13, I think I have done enough training to shock everyone and win the games. I will also hide my District 1 talent by trying to get an average District 7 training score. (About 5-7.)

"Cleopatra Andrews." A voice from somewhere announces. Now it is my turn, finally. I walk through the doors and into a room with the Gamemakers watching from the side. They don't look fully awake, but it doesn't matter for me since I'm purposefully getting an moderate score. I see a station with a bunch of targets lined up. I know what I can do.

"Cleopatra Andrews. District 7." I say to the Gamemakers. Now I can start. I head over toward the weapons ract and pick up a blowgun. I then head over to the target area and start to shoot the targets. I am not really paying attention, however, and I'm missing some on purpose. Afterwards, I miss about a third of the targets. The Gamemakers clap silently, but don't really seem that impressed with my performance. That's Ok with me; I want to get an average District 7 score. I then get dismissed to leave the room.

I did a good job of pretending to be a young District 7 weakling. Now no one will know that I really have District 1 talent hidden in due to all the training I've done. I will surprise everyone when the actual games start and win the games to show my parents I am good enough to be volunteering to join the New Hunger Games.

Laila Bennett (District 8)
I am still waiting for my name to be called so I can start the Individual Training. My name should be called any minute though. I hope I can win these games. My brother died in the war that started the New Hunger Games and life has been awful since. My mother committed suicide and my father became an alcoholic. I am hoping that winning the games can improve my life. I am hoping that the anti-career alliance can help me win. Maybe they will be successful over those careers.

"Laila Bennett." A voice from somewhere announces. Now it is time to go. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They are starting to get a bit tired and bored, but at least they aren't totally out of it. I can see a station with targets lined up. I do have a good aim, so I know what I can do.

"Laila Bennett. District 8." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start. I head over to the weapons ract and pull out some throwing knives. I then head over to the targets station. Throwing knives at targets should be easier for me to do then throwing knives at living people. I would hate to kill people but targets are just targets. I aim carefully and throw my knives at the targets, one by one. After about half the targets have a knife on them I switch over to my bow and arrow and start to shoot arrows at the remaining targets. I look at my results after I finished. I missed 2, but overall I did good. A few were actually close to a bullseye! I then get dismissed to leave the room.

I feel good with my performance, but it will be hard for me to aim that well when trying to kill a living person. Well, I  do need to win these games if I have any chance on having a successful life. I will try to get rid of my fear of killing others and just win the games so my life can make a turnaround.

Octavian Silvercrest (District 9)
I am waiting for my name to be called so I can start my Individual Training. During my wait, I have mainly been chatting with the others in my anti-careers alliance. I want others in my alliance to view me as a nice person. I hate though how sometimes the girls like me a little too much, but I can handle it.

"Octavian Silvercrest." A voice announces. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They are starting to look a bit tired. I decide that shooting arrows and throwing knives at targets will be too boring for the Gamemakers, so I instead decide to attack the dummies at the dummy station.

"Octavian Silvercrest. District 9." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start. I head over to the weapons ract and pull out a bow and some arrows. I head over to the dummies station and get my bow ready. I aim carefully, and shoot an arrow at the first dummy. It lands on the stomach. Ouch. I then quickly shoot arrows at more dummies. When half the dummies have been shot, I switch over to the throwing knives. I am carefully with my first knife, and throw it right on the chest. Double ouch. I throw my knives at the remaining dummies. After I finished, I look at my results. Almost all the dummies have been hit with a knife or arrow; only one knife missed. One arrow landed right in the skull. Triple ouch. One knife also landed just beneath the skull and on the neck. The Gamemakers clap and then dismiss me.

I did pretty good overall. Other then my shooting and throwing skills, I also have had some training in martial arts and parkour. I wasn't training for the games though; after my mom died in a robbery, I started to train in those areas so I can fight off criminals so nothing can that could happen again. Maybe my training in those areas can help me win, too.

Helena Krisp (District 10)
My name should be called any minute now so I can start my Individual Training. There are now just 8 tributes left in the room counting me, but it seems empty compared to when there were 28 earlier. I have mainly been chatting with Kyle Dake (12) as we were the only career members left. Although we weren't even near a career district, we act like a career. We both like to kill and don't mind seeing lots of blood. In fact, I even dyed my hair blood-red. Sylvia (12) may also join but our alliance leaders Veronica (2) and Frade (3) haven't decided if she should join yet.

"Helena Krisp." A voice announces from somewhere. Knowing it is my turn, I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They are starting to look tired, which I don't like. I want to prove everyone I deserve to be in the careers with a high training score. I can't do a Katniss Everdeen move since there is a forcefield protecting them. Even though I don't like to shout, I say...

"Helena Krisp! District 10!" I shout so I could get their attention. It sounds kind of squeaky since I rarely shout, but it was enough for them to snap out of it and look toward me. Oops... I haven't even thought of what to do. I do see a katana on the weapons ract and a station with dummies lined up in a row of 10. I run over to the weapons ract and pull out a katana. I then head over to the dummies station and, one by one, I swing at the dummies at different parts of their body. I hit some on the legs, some on their arms, some at their chest, and even some at their heart, neck, or skull. After I finish a bloody mess is whats left. I don't mind seeing all the blood unlike other girls in my district. The Gamemakers clap but look surprised as well. I think this may have been their most exciting act in a while. That is good. That is what a career does; shock the Gamemakers. Afterwards I get dismissed to leave the room, feeling good about my performance.

I did a great job of showing off like a career. In the games, I will hunt and kill tributes easily alongside the careers. Even when I am forced to go solo, I shall kill everyone myself with still no problem. I hope I can win. I really want to carry on with my life in District 10. I also want to win for my aunt and sister, who thought I was dead in a accident the day before the reapings!

Tiburica Heloise (District 11)
I am waiting for my name to be called so I can start on my next goal; get a decent enough score on the Individual Training. Afterwards my next goal is to win the New Hunger Games so I can fulfill Tavia's legacy. Nobody in Panem likes to remember it, but one of my family members, Tavia, was part of the reason why there is a New Hunger Games going on. In the last old Hunger Games, Tavia's alliance was a big one. It had 9 members and looked to be dominating the games, even the career alliance. However, they did something which the Capital found to be an act of rebellion. They painted the Capital's Seal on the side of the Cornucopia and burnt it down. Mutts were sent to hunt and kill the members of Tavia's alliance. Although one of the members of the alliance survived and won the games, an uprising started afterwards. This caused a war and started the New Hunger Games which we know today.

"Tiburica Heloise." A voice announces. Now its time for me to accomplish my goal. I walk through the doors and into a room with the Gamemakers watching from the side. They don't look too tired, surprisingly. I think something from earlier must have woke them up. I can use this fact to my advantage. I know what I can do. I can see a station with dummies lined up in a row of 7. I look to see if there is a bisento on the weapons ract. It isn't a popular weapon, but I can see one bisento standing up on the weapons ract. Now I'm good.

"Tiburica Heloise. District 11." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start. I run over to the weapons ract and grab a bisento. I then run to the station with the dummies and, using all my confidence and strength, attack and slash at them, one by one. After a short amount of time, I can see a bloody mess. The blood is kinda disgusting, but so I can get a good training score, I make a look like I don't mind seeing blood at all, like I won't mind killing someone. The Gamemakers look impressed and clap for me. I then get dismissed to leave the room, feeling good with my performance.

I think I will get a pretty good training score. I honestly don't really care what score I get as long as it is not embarassingly low or shockingly high. My next goal now is to win the games. Since I just can't seem to trust anyone, I decide that I will go solo. I think it would be a smarter idea to go with someone with good trust rather then someone who is strong but doesn't care.

Kyle Dake (District 12)
I have been waiting a long time for my to be called so I can do this thing called "Individual Training." I am the last career member waiting in the room. Sylvia (12) just left the room. I don't know if he is a member of my career alliance or not. Whatever, I am just hoping I can get this over with. I shouldn't even be in this situation anyway. There is apparently this stupid rule that you can't dye your hair. I got caught doing so, and they made me forced to volunteer. Besides, do I even look like someone who had their name in the bowl 20 times because of a tessera? Didn't think so. I am 6'3 despite living in a poor district like District 12.

"Kyle Dake." A voice from somewhere announces. Finally, it is my turn. I walk through the door and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They don't look too tired. A surprise considering I was tired and bored from waiting for so long. This is good for me because I don't need to wake them up. I can see my favorite weapon, a sledgehammer, on the weapon's ract. I can also see a station nearby with 3 dummies. Perfect.

"Kyle Dake. District 12." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start I run over to the weapon's ract and bring out a sledgehammer. It is a bit heavy, but I am strong unlike other weaklings from my district, so I don't really mind it. I then head over to the station with the dummies. I want to show the Gamemakers the most gruesome deaths they'll ever see, so I attack the first dummy by slamming the sledgehammer right into the first dummy's chest, knocking it over. Ouch. I then head over to the next dummy and slammed the sledgehammer into the dummy's heart. Blood started flowing out of the hit area. Double ouch. I want to save the best for last, so with the third and final dummy, I slam the sledgehammer with all my strength on the dummy's head. Blood started gushing out of the hit area, and I may even have caused a dent in the skull. Triple ouch. The Gamemakers look somewhat impressed. They clap for me and dismiss me to leave the room.

I did a great job overall. Now when the training scores get announced, no one will see me as some weak loser from District 12. I shall fight with the careers during the actual games and find a way to win. Then, the Peacekeepers who made me forced to volunteer will realise that their move was a mistake because I will win the games too easily.

Allana Darkbloom (District 13)
There are just two tributes waiting for our Individual Training to start; me and Cashon (13). I don't really talk to him since he is in the Anti-Careers and I am going solo. I don't trust allying anyone in the arena, especially with a sneaky plan that I am going to do. When my name gets called for Individual Training, I will fail on purpose, boring the Gamemakers. I bet everyone will laugh when they see my "1" next to my name when the results come and think I am silly, weak-minded, and overall just useless. Truth is, I am not your average District 13 tribute. I have been fighting like a career during my life, craving bloodshed. When the games start, I will show my true strength and nobody will take me seriously.

"Allana Darkbloom." A voice from somewhere says. Now its time to have fun and do my act. I walk through the doors and into a room with Gamemakers watching from the side. They are looking bored and a little drunk; not a surprise considering I am the second last one to be called. I put on my knife gloves, and look for the heaviest knife I can find on the weapon's ract. After I think I found out, I look over to a station with a target lined up. I know what to do.

"Allana Darkbloom. District 13." I say to the Gamemakers so I can start. I head over to the weapon's ract and pull out a big knife. Even though anyone could pick it up easily, I pretend it is too heavy for me. I struggle to bring the knife over to the target station. I then weakly throw the knife at the target. The knife doesn't even reach halfway to the target! I can hear some of the Gamemakers moan, like they are getting extremely bored already. I'm not even finished yet. I get the knife I threw, and try to throw it again. This time, I purposefully drop the knife right next to my foot. I act like it did it my foot by screaming and grabbing it. After about 30 seconds of this, the Gamemakers dismiss me. I walk away, looking disappointed.

However, when I exit the room, I smile. This is going exactly as planned. When the games start, no one will take me seriously. I will then show my true strength, surprising killing everyone and making perfect throws with my knife. Nobody will see me as a threat, but I will show them and win the games by surprise.

Marc Gage
I am in my bed thinking about the games. I need to win this. My father, grandfather, and great grandfather all won back in the regular Hunger Games, so I should continue my family streak and win too. I am really confident that I can win. Only problem is that some of the other tributes in my alliance are creepy. My alliance, the Careers, have a total of 10 tributes, including me. We are lead by this seemingly careless and bossy 18 year old girl named Veronica. She is from my District, District 2. We are also kind of lead by this 14 year old boy named Frade. He may be kind of young, but he keeps swearing whenever I hear him talk! Him and Veronica are also the only tributes who got a "11" in the Individual Training. We also have Lucy from District 1, Felix from District 4, and Medusa also from District 4. We also have non-career District tributes in our alliance; Irina from District 9, Helena from District 10, Kyle from District 12, and Sylvia also from District 12. We chose them because we needed more strong tributes if we wanted to match the huge Anti-Career alliance. They may not have the strongest tributes but they are '''loaded. '''I will now try to sleep; the games start tomorrow, and I don't want to be tired heading into the arena!

Cashon Lastoro
I am with the Anti-Career alliance. I am in my bed thinking of our alliance. I am wondering if we could actually match or even overpower the Careers. I know it may sound a little crazy, but both the Careers and Anti-Careers are loaded with 10 tributes each. It is almost like Hunger Game Wars. Anyway, in our alliance, we do have some pretty strong tributes. We are lead by Shade from District 5. He is the brother of Frade, who joined the Careers. Shade is very strong and he will probably be best as leader of our alliance. We also have Mist from District 8, who is co-leading our alliance. He also seems to have a lot of experience with weapons and dodging and all of that stuff you need for the Hunger Games. As for the rest of our alliance, we have Ash from District 6, Calista who is also from District 6, Cleopatra from District 7, Laila from District 8, Octavian from District 9, Phoenix from District 10, and lastly me, Cashon, from District 13. We also have Hannah from District 5, but she says that she will go solo to start and will try to meet us later in the games. Not sure how that plan will work out. Right now, I need to get some sleep; tomorrow will be the start of the games!

Sam Mason
I know I can win these games. In fact, I need to. I don't want to disappoint my mother, Johanna, who previously won one of the last regular Hunger Games. I will not let anyone get in my way. I have trained for years and years and volunteered the year where I felt confident I could win. I even feel confident that I could win over the Careers and Anti-Careers, who have 10 tributes each! They may seem strong, but they are really just wusses. They probably were too scared to go solo and wanted to rely on others to keep him/her alive. Not me, though. I shall win despite going solo. Some of the few other tributes brave enough to go solo like me are Prometheus from The Capital, Jeffrey from District 1, Karla from District 3, Tiburica from District 11, Gloom who is also from District 11, and Allana from District 13. We also have of course, me from District 7. There is also Cherry from The Capital but she is still deciding whenever to go solo or join an alliance. While we may not be the strongest tributes around, we should be the most confident. In fact, I won't be surprised if some of us make it far into the games because we are avoiding the action and battles that the Careers and Anti-Careers will probably have. I am getting tired, though, so I shall sleep and start my road to victory tomorrow.

Mist Scorchil, District 8
I say good bye to stylist as I walk into a tube. The tube rises up and brings me to a Grassland area. There is forest surrounding the area, but I can see the tops of tall village houses in the distance past the forest to the left. I look to see if I can find out where the Anti-Careers are. It turns out we were lucky; because our Districts are close together, most of the members in the Anti-Careers are starting next to each other. I can also see Shade not too far away from me. We all know the plan; all the Anti-Career members will gather up near the core of the Cornucopia. We will gather all the supplies and try to kill a couple of Career members. Then we will run to the forest together. I look at the clock and there were only 10 seconds left! Yikes! I better get ready!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GONG!

Sylvia Matthews, District 12
As soon as time is up, I start running toward the Cornucopia. I am going for a dagger that I see close by. I managed to get there before anyone else. I can also see poison close by. I have an idea. While everyone is paying attention to the core of the Cornucopia, I dip my dagger in the poison and start to look for weaklings to kill. I can see Allana (13), the weakling who got a 1 in training, but she runs away with some knives. That scaredy cat! However, I see something interesting. Prometheus (C) is nearby trying to get a sword out of a box. This is my chance. I quickly run over to him and gets a dagger on his back. The poison should weaken and kill him if the dagger didn't. I look for where the other careers are.

Karla Flake, District 3
I managed to grab a couple of good knives on the outskirts of the Bloodbath! I am not going nearby the Cornucopia, though. It seems like there are a lot of tributes going there. I was thinking about getting poison close to the Cornucopia core, but then just when I was going to run to get it, I see Frade (3) killing Ash (6) with a dagger right where I was going to run. I decide it would be better to just run away. Maybe I can find something in the Village.

Shade Spectrus, District 5
That loser! I just saw my brother, Frade (3), kill one of my alliance members! I will show him! I run over to Frade, but he somehow senses that I was coming and grabs me before I could kill him with my dagger. "Hello, brother. Trying to kill me, eh?" he says to me in a weird cheerful voice. "Yes..." I say back to him. "But you got me instead. Are you going to finish me right now?" "No." He says back. "I want one of us to die in a good battle, not now. Now go to your stupid alliance. I got bigger problems to deal with." I nod, and he lets go of me. I run over to the Cornucopia core, where there appears to be a brawl between the Careers and Anti-Careers going on.

Phoenix Rouge, District 10
I am trying to defend the other Anti-Career members along with Mist (8) while the other members get supplies that we need. Shade (5) suddenly comes and helps us. The Careers are tying to attack us. One of the Career members, Helena (10) notices Cleopatra (7) trying to get some supplies from the outskirts of the Bloodbath. She throws a blade at Cleo, slicing her neck and killing her instantly. "WHY YOU!?" says Mist (8), mad that another one of his allies got killed. He throws a tomahawk at Helena, landing on her chest and killing her quickly. "Shade! We got enough supplies!" Octavian (9) says. "Then let's get the heck out of here." Shade says. All of the Anti-Careers quickly get up and start running toward the forest. Some of the Careers attempt to shoot one of us down, but they fail. We keep running until we think we are far enough in the forest.

Veronica Morderkaiser, District 2
Well, that was a failure. We could only kill two of the Anti-Career members in total and lost one of us. To make matters worse, we were taking too much time trying to kill the Anti-Careers that all the loners have left. I see Tiburica (11) grabbing the last of her supplies, but she runs away as soon as I see her. I won't be able to go after her. '''BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!''' Wow, only 4 cannons? Worst. Bloodbath. Ever.

Frade Spectrus, District 3
All of us Careers are gathering up around the Cornucopia. Although we managed to kill only 3 other tributes, we did get a lot of leftover supplies. We eat, have some water, and get ready for the night. I REALLY wished I could have killed that jerk Veronica (2) by surprise, but I was too busy trying to kill the Anti-Careers and dealing with my brother to do so before the Careers were the only ones left at the Bloodbath. Darn it! Hopefully I will have another opportunity later.

Tiburica Heloise, District 11
I am walking and looking for shelter that I can find before the Sun sets and the Zombie Mutts are released. I have walked past several caves; I am looking for strong well-protected cave that includes dense minerals such as stone or gravel. I did manage to get some food and water at the Cornucopia, but probably not enough to last me through the entire games. After walking for a long time, I saw a cave next to a source of water; a pond. I looked inside the cave and it was made out of dense stone. Perfect. Now I will have enough water for the next couple of days. I get some clean water from the pond and go inside my cave. I brighten the cave up with some torches I got from the Cornucopia. I then noticed that the Sun is close to setting. Now would be a good time to protect myself. I cover the cave entrance up the best I can with stone from the cave and get ready to relax for the night, thinking of what will be my plan tomorrow.

Jeffrey Killheart, District 1
Haha. This is great. I have stalked Gloom (11) ever since he left the Bloodbath. I chose him mainly because he is the youngest loner that is currently alive. I have been hiding in the bushes and following him when he was walking along a trail, looking for a cave before sunset. After he finally found one, I hid in a nearby bush while he went in the cave. He lit up the cave as sunset approached. He covered up the cave a bit, but there is still enough room for me to fit in the cave and kill him when he sleeps. The Sun has just about set, so I better get moving inside before the Zombie Mutts are released. When the Sun gets low enough, I quietly sneak inside an opening to the cave. Inside, I see Gloom already sleeping. His weapons are off to the side, too. I have a good chance here. I sneak over to the area where he is falling asleep at. I tap him, and he wakes up, looking terrified at my face. I said to the line that I have said to all my other victims; "Shh, Go To Sleep..." Still having that scared look on his face, I take out my knife, and quickly stab him in the heart. He closes his eyes seconds later. BOOM! That must have been his cannon. Now I can use his supplies. I will stay in this cave for the night and tomorrow, I will take a look at what the Careers are doing.

Calista Hawing, District 6
I am starting to get a bit concerned along with the rest of the Anti-Careers. The Sun has set, and we still haven't found a cave in the Forest that we can use for shelter during the night. I am starting to think that we would of been better off in the Village. Then again, the Careers could have easily found us and kill us. "Has ANYONE seen any cave the entire time we were walking?" Shade (5) asks us all. "No." We reply back. "Well, we better find a cave, because any second we could hear-" His sentence is cut off by a groaning noise. Seconds later, we see a small group of greenish humanlike figures walk toward us. "ZOMBIES!" shouts Laila (8). The Zombies notice us and start running toward us at a surprisingly good speed. "We can't take on them! RUN!" Shouts Mist (8). We all start running from the Zombies, looking for any caves on the side of the trail while were running. After about 20 seconds or running, I can hear someone scream. I am unsure of who it is and I don't want to look because watching Zombies have a feast on someone will not be a pleasant sight. BOOM! That must have been the victim's cannon. About 10 seconds after that, Cashon (13) says "Hey, I think I see a cave." He points to a cave on the left side of the trail past a couple bushes. "Then let's get off this trail and into the cave!" Shade shouts. We all start to quickly go into the cave. We light up a couple of torches that we got from the Bloodbath and place them. We quickly cover up the cave entrance with rocks and sit down. "Are we missing someone?" Mist asks everyone. "Phoenix, didn't make it." says Laila. "So it was him who screamed and died." Octavian (9) says. That is bad, because he was one of our best fighters. We all start to relax and discuss our plan tomorrow. "We lost 3 today. We have to do better tomorrow." Shade says. We then start to sleep for the night.

Medusa Vantor, District 4
All of us Careers are inside the Cornucopia, getting discussing our plans for tomorrow. We have already sealed up the Cornucopia with rocks to make sure we are safe from the Zombie Mutts. "I think we should go for the loners first before we take on the Anti-Careers." I say to everyone. "Yeah, you do have a point." Frade (3) says "I bet some of those dumb stupid loners will want to ally with the Anti-Careers if they run into them." Irina (9) then says "True, and the Anti-Careers may even be looking for more alliance members if those 2 cannons earlier were any part of the Anti-Careers." "I know the plan." Veronica (2) says to all of us. "Tomorrow, we will go after Allana (13)." "Allana?" Marc (2) says. "I thought she got a 1 in training! Why would she be our number one target?" "Trust me, I have seen her do better in the Group Training." says Veronica. "She is probably one of the strongest Non-Careers in the games. She is just pulling a Johanna Mason." Everyone agrees to the plan. We hear the anthem play outside. We see who died through a small opening through the rocks before we all sleep for the night.
