11th Hunger Games

The **11th Hunger Games** took place in 11 ATT. The victor was 16-year-old Isla Rhodes from District 4. These Games were the first held outside of the Capitol Arena. The previous arena, the Capitol Stadium, was rebuilt into an entertainment venue.

The new location, a small abandoned island off the coast of District 4 in the small archipelago of islands left behind by rising sea levels, was selected after new apprentice Gamemaker Coriolanus Snow worked with Dr. Gaul, Head Gamemaker, to revamp the games following the disasterous 10th Hunger Games.

## The Arena

The island was renovated by Gamemakers, adding foliage, obstacles, old tower ruins, and the cornucopia. The cornucopia, a new addition to the Games, was suggested by Remus Dolittle, a newly appointed Gamemaker. After seeing tributes struggle in the first 10 Games, Dolittle thought giving them basic survivial supplies could add to the fanfare and extend the length of the Games.

The first cornucopia in the 11th Games contained weapons, first-aide kits, and water bottles. Food had to be obtained by fishing or through sponsorships. Fishing gear, however, was not among the supplies. Tributes had to figure out how to fish on their own, as eventual victor Isla Rhodes did.

## Before the Games

### July 3rd - Reaping Day

Reaping Day took place July 3rd, back on the original date after moving to the 4th the previous year. The reapings, the selection-by-lottery of the 24 tributes, took place as normal. No volunteers were among the tributes due to the absence of the volunteering system. Tributes from each district were selected as follows:

### July 4th - Mentor Selection and Tributes on display

* Once again, the Capitol selected 24 seniors at the Academy to mentor the tributes. However, precautions were put in place this year to ensure the safety of the mentors.
* Tributes are transported to the Capitol via cattle car, then put in trucks and driven to the Capitol Zoo.
* Like the previous year, the Capitol Zoo was again used to hold and display tributes. However, tributes were spit up into their District duos and displayed in various enclosures, not in one big group. Two Peacekeepers were stationed at the front of each exhibit and one was stationed in the exhibit. This ensured tributes didn't fight nor try to escape.
	+ There was an additional display that housed the rainbow snake muttations and the golden viper muttations from the 10th Hunger Games. The sign at the display noted how successful the Games were and how Dr. Gaul's muttations were instrumental in their success. This caused the District 4 female's mentor, Nero Albus, to cackle as he knew how big of a failure the Games had been.

### July 5th

* Tributes and their mentors met to gather information for records.
* Mentors are allowed to start discussing the Games with their tributes. Tributes are fed during this time to incentivize meeting with their mentors.
	+ These meetings take place in interrogation-like rooms with cameras to film all sessions. Peacekeepers are also present in the rooms. This was to ensure safety of all mentors, while keeping tributes alive. Cameras present recorded sessions to use in propoganda but also ensured mentors didn't unfairly tip the scales in their tribute's favor.

### July 6th - Ground Zero

* Phineas Fields (District 10 Male) is severely sick and thought to just be weak from hunger. However, the District 10 tributes had been exposed to the tuberculosis disease in the monkey enclosure where they were kept.
	+ The sickness is ignored by Capitol officials initially.
* Later that evening Phineas' District partner, Susannah Highland (District 10 Female), falls ill as well.
* The two tributes are thought to just be weak due to their age, and Dr. Gaul demands they not be treated, as to not give the appearance of favoritism. She famously said,*"Death is impartial. Let it seek its own victims, whoever and whenever that might be."*

### July 7th

* Tributes continue to meet with their mentors and strategize, though the District 10 tributes are kept in their enclosure.
* Amos Gear (District 6 Male) attempts to scale the side of the giant panda exhibit where he and his District partner, Tabby, are kept. Though they had been ordered not to, one Peacekeeper opens fire in front of a televised crowd, killing the young tribute.
* Dr. Gaul, angered at the bad press and the loss of a tribute, orders the Peacekeeper's death. He is shot in front of the mentors, frightening most but causing Nero Albus to laugh, much to Gaul's enjoyment.
* Meanwhile, the death had been quickly removed from broadcast but it had been live and many citizens of Panem saw. Though most were in the Capitol, some in the Districts had seen and riots broke out, having to be quelled. Some in the Capitol briefly "protested" by avoiding the zoo. This didn't last long as Nero and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) attracted audiences as she taught him to make a fishing pole.
* The District 4 tributes were kept in the former penguin exhibit, with a dried up pool in the front corner of the glass. Nero, Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female), worked with Gamemakers to have this pool filled with water and fish. (Mostly by bribing apprentice Gamemaker Coriolanus Snow and tasking several Peacekeepers with raiding a nearby caviar farm for live fish.)
	+ Isla used talents learned back home to display her fishing skills, promoting the "exciting new arena" Gamemakers and Capitol officials had been advertising on Capitol TV.

### July 8th - Outbreak

* Two days after Susannah Highland (District 10 Female) had gotten sick, an outbreak occured. The District 10 mentors, Perry Trinket and Harris Ciprian, both also fell ill. By this time, they had spread the sickness to other mentors, including Aquila Templesmith (District 2 Male mentor) and Phebe Luna (District 7 Female mentor).
* 6 Tributes had also fallen ill:
	+ Jedidiah Peer and Iana Veld (District 5 Male and Female)
	+ Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female)
	+ Tobias Arbor (District 7 Male)
	+ Archie Grist and Charity Meadowlark (District 9 Male and Female)
* At this point, Dr. Gaul ordered the sick mentors to quarantine and the zoo to be closed to visitors. Instead, live broadcasts would air on a screen in front of the zoo and citizens could also watch from home.
* Sick tributes were quarantined in their enclosures and treated for the disease, as Dr. Gaul didn't want to sustain major losses of tributes as they had the previous year.

### July 9th-10th

* During this time, the sick were treated and some clips of Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) and Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) went viral. Isla for her fishing in her enclosure and Zeke for displaying his swordsmanship with a large stick found in the lion exhibit where the District 1 tributes were held. Zeke and his mentor, Leonidas Halt, sparred with two large sticks, Zeke always winning.
* One tribute dies from tuberculosis:
	+ Phineas Fields (District 10 Male)

### July 11th

* All mentors begin to show signs of improving health after vigorous treatment and around the clock care. Dr. Gaul did all she could to ensure their health, as Academy donors had threatened funding after the numerous deaths the previous year. Some had called for the simpler days of the Games without mentors or any gimmicks, saying they were easier and safer. Gaul disagreed, and with President Ravenstill's approval, she continued.
* One more tribute died as veterinarian staff hired to treat tributes struggled to treat the sick properly.
	+ Tobias Arbor (District 7 Male)

### July 12-13th

* On the 12th, the remaining tributes and their mentors began to plan for their interviews, if they chose to participate. These two days were devoted to the tributes practicing in separate rooms with their mentors.
* Nero Albus and his tribute, Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female), make plans for an outfit for her interview. Nero goes out of his way to provide her with one.

### The Hunger Games: A Night of Interviews - July 14th

* As they did for the 10th Hunger Games, The Capitol brought back Lucky Flickerman to host the interviews and record other important messages for the Games.
* The interviews were again held in front of a live audience in the Academy auditorium, hosted by Lucky. Most of the tributes decided to participate, at the urging and bribing of their mentors. If they attended, tributes were invited to a post-interview dinner at the end of the night.
* Mentors generally offered background information on their tributes, attempting to be memorable and urging sponsors to support them. Some tributes shared their ideas for the Games, hoping the new arena would aide them.
* Some tributes, like Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) and Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male), displayed their talents again during interviews.

### July 15th-16th

* Tributes and mentors were loaded into fancy passenger trains on the morning of July 15th. Tributes were hand-cuffed and forced to sit in general area seating on the trait.
* A special car was reserved for mentors to mingle, while refreshments of mini sandwiches and bubbly drinks were served.
* Once situated on the train, Gamemakers explained to mentors the new arena: An isolated island in the Ravenstill Archipelago, a small collection of islands off the coast of Districts 4 and 5. Prior to world-changing events, including rising sea levels, these islands had been part of the mainland. Now, they're all that remains of land swallowed up by the sea.
* A map was given to each mentor, along with a handout desciribing the new "Cornucopia - Horn of Plenty". The first cornucopia ever in the history of the Games contained weapons, first-aide kits, and water bottles.
* Meanwhile, tributes are fed a mush that tasted like dried oats. One Gamemaker explains to tributes they will be delivered to the arena by boat, and then left until only one tribute lives.
* The next morning, the train reaches the coast of District 4. Tributes were loaded onto a barge, still handcuffed and guarded by Peacekeepers.
* Several rooms at the District 4 Naval yard had been reserved for mentors to bunk in. A mentor center and Gamemaker hub had been established in a plane hangar. Nero Albus and Demi Öberg, the District 4 mentors, are roomed with their District 3 counterparts, much to their disdain. The quartet of mentors had not gotten along as the District 4 mentors worked around the clock to get their tributes ahead in the Games.

## The Games

### July 17th - Day 1

* The tributes were taken by barge to the island in the Ravenstill Archipelago.
* The arena is a petite U-shaped island, seemingly floating in solitude, located in the Ravenstill Archipelago off the coast of Districts 4 and 5. The lush landscape is dominated by various shades of green, indicating tropical fauna. The island features dense island brush and plant life. Notable landmarks include tower ruins in the top right corner, a towering palm tree in the bottom left, and the cornucopia located in the top left corner. The shore lies to the north of the cornucopia, with boulders and trees to the south. A tiny island is situated northwest of the main island, reachable only by skilled swimmers, adding an element of challenge to the tributes' survival.
* Tributes were instructed to wait for the cannon sounding to begin. A countdown began at 30 seconds.
* Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) broke the rules and made a run for the cornucopia, sparking chaos.
* In the ensuing frenzy, several tributes followed Zeke's lead, running towards the cornucopia for weapons and supplies.
	+ Others sprinted away from the scene, trying to escape the immediate danger.
	+ A few tributes hesitated, waiting for the cannon to sound, but the action had already commenced.
* Bloodbath deaths:
	+ Prudence Luxe (District 1 Female) was killed by Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) with a trident while trying to grab a backpack.
	+ Weldon Branch (District 11 Male) was killed by Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) with a spear.
	+ Hester Loomen (District 8 Male) was killed by Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) with a spear.
	+ Ruth Carmine (District 11 Female) was killed by Zeke Crestivew (District 1 Male) with a machete.
	+ Tabitha Flight (District 6 Female) was killed by Millicent Tech (District 3 Female) with a dagger.
	+ Pania "Penny" Ember (District 12 Female) was killed by Ezra Covent (District 3 Male) with a rock.
	+ Ezra Covent (District 3 Male) was killed by Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) as she speared him with her trident.
	+ Archie Grist (District 9 Male), still recovering from tuberculosis, was swiftly killed by Zeke Crestivew (District 1 Male) as the latter attempted to take a pack with a first aide kit and water bottles.
* After the initial fighting, most of the tributes disbursed.
	+ Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) and Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) stuck together, heading toward the large palm tree.
	+ Millicent Tech (District 3 Female), her district partner dead, fled the cornucopia, running toward the right side of the arena.
	+ Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) remained at the cornucopia.
	+ Other tributes, like Jedidiah Peer (District 5 Male), Charity Meadowlark (District 9 Female), and Moriah Cross (District 8 Female) fled into other parts of the arena.
* Edwin Grey (District 12 Male) attempted to escape the arena by plunging himself into the ocean and swimming. He was quickly overwhelmed by the waves and drowned.

#### Day 1 Deaths

* Prudence Luxe (District 1 Female)
* Ezra Covent (District 3 Male)
* Tabitha Flight (District 6 Female)
* Hester Loomen (District 8 Male)
* Archie Grist (District 9 Male)
* Weldon Branch (District 11 Male)
* Ruth Carmine (District 11 Female)
* Edwin Grey (District 12 Male)
* Pania "Penny" Ember (District 12 Female)

### July 18th - Day 2

* The surviving tributes scattered across the island, seeking shelter, food, and safety.
* Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) decided to establish dominance early on, hunting down and ambushing Priscilla Thicket (District 7 Female) as she tried to forage for food. He killed her with a swift strike of his machete.
* Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) and Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) remained together. As they had planned with their mentors the night before, they set out for the tower ruins. They located Millicent Tech (District 3 Female) on the way and engaged her in a deadly battle. Despite Millicent's efforts, she was overpowered and killed by Jax with a spear.
* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) continued to work together, utilizing their knowledge of fishing and the tropical environment to their advantage. They encountered Charity Meadowlark (District 9 Female), who had been hiding in the bushes. Despite her attempts to evade them, Fisher managed to throw a spear, killing Charity instantly. The pair worked together to craft a fishing pole using a large branch and string they tore off one of the first aide packs. Isla attempted to use the crafted pole to fish, without much luck.
* Jedidiah Peer (District 5 Male) and Iana Veld (District 5 Female) also remained together. They found a cave near the shore, hoping it would provide them with some safety.
* Susannah Highland (District 10 Female) attempted to escape the island by swimming to the nearby smaller island. However, she was overcome by waves and drowned. Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female), watching this happen, discussed plans to reach the small island.
* Meanwhile, Moriah Cross (District 8 Female) had been hiding in the dense foliage, trying to avoid confrontation. Moriah, weakened by hunger and fear, collapsed and died quietly, unnoticed by the remaining tributes.

#### Day 2 Deaths

* Millicent Tech (District 3 Female)
* Priscilla Thicket (District 7 Female)
* Moriah Cross (District 8 Female)
* Charity Meadowlark (District 9 Female)
* Susannah Highland (District 10 Female)

### July 19th - Day 3

* The tributes woke up hungry and desperate for food. The initial adrenaline from the Bloodbath had worn off, and hunger began to gnaw at their stomachs.
* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) received a loaf of bread from their sponsors, along with a note encouraging them to craft fish hooks. Taking the advice to heart, Isla managed to create several functional fish hooks from materials they found on the island. They used the hooks to catch fish, providing them with much-needed sustenance.
* Jedidiah Peer (District 5 Male) and Iana Veld (District 5 Female) discussed desperate plans to kill and eat another tribute. Their hunger-fueled desperation led to dark thoughts, and they realized they might have to resort to extreme measures to survive.
* Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) managed to catch and eat a lizard, providing himself with a small meal. His survival instincts kicked in as he adapted to the harsh conditions of the island.
* Nero Albus (District 4 Mentor) and Demi Öberg (District 4 Mentor) continued to work with sponsors, strategizing to provide their tributes with essential supplies. They coordinated efforts to send additional items to Fisher and Isla, ensuring their protégés had the best chances of survival.
* Dr. Gaul continued work on a new muttation for these games, requiring the assistance of Remus Dolittle and Coriolanus Snow, leaving other Gamemakers curious as to what they were working on.

### July 20th - Day 4

* Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) and Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) were well-rested from the previous night but still growing hungry. The pair set out in search of food, or anything edible. The duo see Jedidiah Peer (District 5 Male) and Iana Veld (District 5 Female) from a distance and approach them.
* When Clementine and Jax attacked, the District 5 tributes fought back fiercely, only armed with Jed's knife and a pointed stick Iana wielded. Iana Veld (District 5 Female) died as Jed fled, falling victim to Clementine's spear.
* In the aftermath of the fight, Jedidiah contemplated the unthinkable - consuming Iana's remains to stave off his hunger. His desperation pushed him to the edge, considering actions he never thought possible. Just as he was on the brink of giving in to his darkest impulses, a miracle arrived in the form of a sponsor gift from his mentor. Inside the package were broth and bread, offering a lifeline just when he needed it most.
* After this, the Gamemakers began discussing how to remove dead tributes' bodies from the arena, with no solution decided.
* Meanwhile, Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) remained in the vicinity of the cornucopia, his hunger becoming unbearable. Despite the danger, he decided to venture out, scouring the beach in search of any edible resources. His mentor, Leonidas Halt, had sent him food previously, but it was not enough to satisfy his growing appetite.

### July 21st - Day 5

* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) continued their survival efforts, managing to catch more fish to sustain themselves. Their teamwork and resourcefulness became apparent as they successfully started a fire using dried leaves, branches, and Isla's glasses, cooking the fish for a hot meal. The duo strategized their next moves, discussing plans to swim to the smaller island visible from their location. However, they knew it would be a risky endeavor, considering the potential dangers lurking in the water.
* Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) and Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) returned to the tower ruins, where they discovered a group of rats scurrying around. Hungry and desperate, they caught the rats and, taking a calculated risk, decided to consume them raw. The act of survival, though necessary, disgusted some Capitol viewers, who found it repulsive.
* Meanwhile, Dr. Gaul and her apprentices continued their secret project, working on a surprise muttation that would be unleashed upon the tributes. The Gamemakers' excitement and anticipation grew as they refined the muttation, keeping its nature and abilities a closely guarded secret.
* Lucky Flickerman conducted interviews with the mentors of the surviving tributes. Each mentor shared insights into their respective tributes' strengths, strategies, and personalities. The Capitol audience watched with bated breath, eagerly anticipating the tributes' next moves in the deadly game.
* Nero Albus (District 4 Mentor) found amusement in Jax and Clementine's unconventional approach to survival, laughing heartily at their rat feast. His laughter grated on the nerves of other mentors, creating tension among the mentor group.

### July 22nd - Day 6

* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) finalized their plans to swim to the smaller island, approximately 50 yards away from the main island's northwest coast. The pair knew the risks but believed the smaller island might offer them better resources and a potential advantage in the Games.
* Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) and Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) decided to explore the area around the tower ruins further. Despite their earlier unconventional meal, they remained determined to survive. Armed with makeshift weapons, they ventured into the dense foliage, searching for any signs of food or supplies. Their careful exploration led them to discover one of the trees grew jackfruit. The pair feasted, also receiving more bread, broth, and some water bottles from sponsors.

#### July 22nd - Day 6 (Evening) - Another Round of Interviews

* As the sun began to set, the Capitol audience eagerly tuned in to watch the interviews conducted by Lucky Flickerman, the charismatic host known for his probing questions and engaging style. The remaining tributes' mentors, Leonidas Halt (mentoring Zeke Crestview - District 1), Blair Davies (mentoring Clementine Ridge - District 1), Mars Tanner (mentoring Jax Magnus - District 2), Nero Albus (mentoring Isla Rhodes - District 4), Demi Öberg (mentoring Fisher Boyd - District 4), and Bellona Townes (mentoring Jedidiah Peer - District 5), took their turns in the spotlight, providing insights into their tributes' journeys and strategies.
* Leonidas Halt: During the interview, Leonidas emphasized Zeke's determination, resourcefulness, and unmatched combat skills. He described Zeke as a fierce contender, highlighting his ability to adapt to challenging situations. Leonidas subtly hinted at Zeke's plan to dominate the Games and his unwavering commitment to emerge victorious.
* Blair Davies: Blair portrayed Clementine as a cunning and strategic tribute, capable of outsmarting her opponents. She spoke of her resourcefulness and ability to make the most out of limited resources, referencing her unconventional choice of food in the arena. Blair hinted at Clementine's alliance with Jax and their recent discovery of the fruit, highlighting their excellent survival skills.
* Mars Tanner: Mars highlighted Jax's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. He discussed Jax's ability to adapt to unexpected challenges, mentioning their alliance with Clementine and their recent stroke of luck in finding additional food. Mars hinted at Jax's strategic mindset, emphasizing their preparedness for whatever obstacles lay ahead.
* Nero Albus: Nero adopted a playful and confident tone, praising Isla's survival skills and her partnership with Fisher. He mentioned their successful fishing endeavors and their daring plan to swim to the smaller island. Nero expressed his admiration for Isla's resilience and tenacity, subtly alluding to her potential to outmaneuver the remaining tributes. Nero was also the only mentor to dismiss or bad-mouth other tributes. This caused anger among some of the mentors.
* Demi Öberg: Demi emphasized Fisher's resourcefulness and determination, praising his ability to provide for himself and Isla through fishing and fire-making. She spoke of his courage and quick thinking in the arena, highlighting their strategic alliance and their plans to navigate the challenges of the smaller island. Demi subtly hinted at Fisher's bravery and his determination to protect Isla at all costs.
* Bellona Townes: Bellona portrayed Jedidiah as a survivor, acknowledging his struggle with hunger and desperation. She emphasized his recent sponsor gift, providing much-needed sustenance and hope. Bellona spoke of Jedidiah's resilience and his ability to overcome difficult situations, subtly alluding to his capacity to adapt and find strength in adversity.

### July 23rd - Day 7

* Dr. Gaul, with the assistance of Remus Dolittle and Coriolanus Snow, revealed the new muttations she had developed specifically for these Hunger Games. The "Creeping Crickets" were unleashed into the arena. These devious muttations were insect-like creatures drawn to the heat produced by living beings. They flew around like crickets and emitted disturbing chirping noises. When they landed on a tribute's skin, they would bite and cause immense pain, as they were coated in an itchy poison. Unlike regular crickets, these muttations were psychopathic-inducers, driving their victims to madness.
* Crop planes flew above the arena, releasing swarms of Creeping Crickets that fell from the sky and began to circle and attack the tributes. The relentless biting and itching drove the affected tributes to the brink of madness. The pain and insanity caused by the muttations created a harrowing and chaotic scene in the arena.
* Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) and Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male), who had embarked on their treacherous journey to the smaller island, encountered violent waves that made the swim challenging. As they approached the small island, Fisher inadvertently stepped on a stingray nestled in the sand. The stingray's tail spine shot up Fisher's leg, causing a severe injury.
* The relentless pain of the stingray wound sent Fisher into agony, and Isla worked diligently to treat his injury. That night, Nero Albus and Demi Öberg, the District 4 mentors, sent an anesthetic and a hot towelette to apply to the wound. The wound swelled and turned purple, causing Fisher excruciating pain and leaving his survival uncertain.
* Meanwhile, back on the main island, the Creeping Crickets swarmed the tributes. Jedidiah Peer (District 5 Male) was immediately swarmed, and he began screaming uncontrollably as he fell into a psychotic episode. The relentless biting and itching drove him to madness, and his agonizing screams echoed through the night. Jedidiah's suffering was unbearable, and he ultimately succumbed to the torment, dying in the throes of madness.
* Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) and Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) found themselves surrounded by the Creeping Crickets but managed to escape the muttations' relentless onslaught. They leaped into the water and sought refuge in the shallow waters, avoiding further harm.
* Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male) also fell victim to the Creeping Crickets, enduring their painful bites and the psychological torment they induced. His sanity slipped away as he wandered the island in a state of psychosis.
* As the night fell and the island plunged into darkness, the surviving tributes on the main island struggled to sleep. The creeping crickets screeching chirping made sleep quite difficult.

### July 24th - Day 8

* As the sun rose, the island was eerily quiet. Most of the creeping rickets had rested, landed in water and died, or laid out on the sandy beaches. The tributes on the main island woke up, their bodies covered in bites and remnants of the previous night's torment.
* Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) and Jax Magnus (District 2 Male) cautiously made their way back to the cornucopia. Clementine's wounds from the Creeping Crickets were worsening, and she needed first aid supplies. As they approached, they encountered Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male), who had been driven to madness by the cricket bites. His once fierce demeanor was replaced by a wild, crazed look in his eyes. Despite his weakened state, Zeke attacked Jax, wielding his machete with a frenzied desperation. Jax managed to defend himself with his spear, but Zeke's blows were relentless.
* In the chaotic struggle, Jax sustained a deep slash on his back from Zeke's machete. He fell into the sand, mortally wounded. Zeke, seemingly possessed by a deranged fury, attempted to finish Jax off. However, Clementine, showing remarkable strength and determination, lunged forward and thrust her spear into Zeke's chest. His eyes widened in surprise, and he collapsed, succumbing to his injuries.
* Clementine's victory was short-lived, though. The intense fight had drained her energy, and she collapsed beside Jax's lifeless body. She laid there for quite some time before forcing herself to get up and retreat to the cornucopia to dress her wounds.
* Meanwhile, Fisher and Isla rested, their mentors Nero Albus and Demi Öberg growing increasingly confident in their tributes' chances of winning. Nero bragged about what he would do with the Plinth Prize, while Demi maintained a cautious optimism. However, Coriolanus Snow, displeased with Nero's cockiness, berated him, telling him not to "count his chicks before they hatch."
* Dr. Gaul, wanting to drive Clementine off the main island to the smaller island to fight the District 4 pair, worked with Remus to devise a plan. This angered Snow as he was left out of the scheming,

#### Day 8 Deaths

* Zeke Crestview (District 1 Male)
* Jax Magnus (District 2 Male)

### July 25th - Day 9: The Final Confrontation

* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male) and Isla Rhodes (District 4 Female) remained sheltered on the smaller island. Fisher's leg wound had shown little improvement, and he could struggled to move around.
* Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female) still on the main island, sheltered at the cornucopia.
* Knowing the games could potentially be drawn out, Dr. Gaul ordered planes to fire bomb the main island. She allowed the cornucopia area to remain safe, but the fires eventually spread there as well.
* Gaul allowed Clementine's mentor to send Clementine a life vest, signaling that she needed to get into the water and swim to the small island.
* Planes dropped the bombs and the fire quickly spread. Clementine received the life vest and at first was confused. Shortly after, she realized water was her only hope for survival. She put on the vest and ran to the water.
* The rest of the main island was quickly covered in flame and smoke. Meanwhile, Isla and Fisher watched the planes drop the bombs and saw the island quickly enveloped in flame.
* From the viewer's perspective on TV, the island caught fire randomly, as the footage being aired did not show the bombs being dropped.
* Clementine struggled to swim to the island but managed to stay afloat thanks to the life vest.
* Meanwhile, Isla treated Fisher's wounds and the pair sheltered near some palm trees. They didn't see Clementine approaching the island.
* Eventually, the District 2 tribute reached the island and took off the heavy, wet life vest. Exhausted from struggling in the water and swimming, she fell on the shore and caught her breath.
* A few minutes after Clementine reached the shore, Isla spotted her and stood. She told Fisher to wait there and grabbed her trident.
* Isla approached Clementine silently, her eyes focused and determined.
* Clementine, sensing Isla's presence, quickly rose to her feet and turned around, her hand instinctively reaching for her own knife. Isla pulled her own blade from the side of her bag and dropped her trident in the sand.
* The two tributes locked eyes, tension filling the air as they circled each other, searching for an opening.
* Fisher, mustering what strength he had left, stood and ran to the pair of tributes, throwing himself between the two girls. He shouted at Isla, urging her to run.
* As Fisher dove, Clementine attacked, lunging with her blade. Fisher had shoved Isla out of the way, taking the blow meant for her. Isla screamed in horror as Fisher collapsed, his life draining away.
* Enraged and grief-stricken, Isla charged at Clementine, fueled by her emotions and the desire to avenge Fisher.

The fight between Isla and Clementine intensified, both tributes displaying impressive combat skills.

* Isla managed to disarm Clementine, knocking the knife out of her hands. They grappled, each trying to gain the upper hand, their breaths heavy with exhaustion.
* With a sudden burst of strength, Isla overpowered Clementine, pinning her to the ground. Isla delivered the final blow with her knife, driving the blade in the chest of the District 2 female, killing Clementine and securing Isla's victory.
* As the cannon fired, signaling Clementine's demise, Isla collapsed beside Fisher's lifeless body, tears streaming down her face, mourning the loss of a friend who sacrificed himself for her.
* Isla was declared the victor of the 11th Hunger Games, a bittersweet victory stained by the memories of the fallen tributes and the sacrifices made in the arena.

#### Day 9 Deaths

* Clementine Ridge (District 2 Female)
* Fisher Boyd (District 4 Male)

## After The Games

### Gaul's Praise

The 11th Games were considered a massive success after the previous Games' failure. President Ravenstill elevated Gaul's power so that she was essentially the Vice President, without the name. Snow and Dolittle became fulltime Gamemakers, and Nero Albus replaced one of them as apprentice Gamemaker. Coriolanus and Remus were close allies but wary of one another.

### Moving to Victor's Village

Isla became the first-ever tribute from District 4 to move into the newly built Victor's Village. She now resided in a luxurious house, a stark contrast to her humble origins.

### District 4's Rewards

District 4 was rewarded for Isla's victory. They were treated to a grand Victor's Feast, a lavish celebration that brought the entire district together to honor their champion.

Additionally, District 4 received parcels of food every month for the next year, ensuring that the district enjoyed abundance as a testament to Isla's triumph.

### Personal Financial Reward

Isla was granted a considerable sum of money for her victory, providing her with financial security and opportunities that she could have never dreamed of before.

### Popularity and Celebrity Status

Isla became a celebrity in the Capitol, where she was adored by the citizens and lauded for her bravery and strength. She was well-liked in the districts, admired for her determination and courage. However, District 2 held animosity towards her due to their competitive nature and disappointment over their own tribute's loss.

### Victory Tour

Isla embarked on the first ever Victory Tour six months after her triumph, starting with District 12 and then traveling through each district in ascending order.

Accompanied by her mentor, a prep team, and stylist, Isla's journey inspired countless people across Panem, reinforcing the Capitol's control while simultaneously serving as a beacon of hope for the districts.
