26th Hunger Games

## Arena

The 26th Hunger Games was set on a series of rocky cliffs. Trees and waterfalls caked the arena with the overwhelming scent of freshly cut grass.

## Synopsis

These Games were different than previous Games.

As the tributes prepared for the countdown, the countdown application suffered from an extreme glitch that allowed the tributes to leave their pedestals early. In order to combat this, the Gamemakers put miniature forcefields around the tributes who left their pedestal, in order to make it fair for the other tributes.

When the Games began, the bloodbath was uneventful--providing only two deaths. Jukoz (D7) would claim first blood by killing xLqra (D3). Bromnk (D3) witnessed his partner's death and went into shock and died shortly after. The rest of day 1 was uneventful, except for baguette (D5) hitting the forcefield near the Cornucopia.

On Day 2, reanimated skeletons stepped out of the once serene waterfall at the Cornucopia and began hunting the tributes. On the far side of the arena, The Career Pack (led by Beetee) encountered the Anti-Careers (led by Jukoz) on an island. The bloodbath saw the deaths of multiple tributes except for two: Finnick\_Odair (D6) and LilNail (D7). Before they could escape the island, Pufferfish Mutts surrounded the island--preventing their escape. A feast was called at the location that the battle occurred. When no one came, the Gamemakers awarded each of them with a series of delicious nightlock berries. Both were not amused and did not eat them before escaping the island.

Day 3 came with only 8 tributes left. The Day was slow as the rest of the tributes were avoiding the team of 4. When the night came, there was an announcement that two tributes from the team would die at random when the sun rises if no deaths were reported. Fortunately for the rest of the tributes, RazorShok (D11) hit the forcefield and LilNail (D7) starved to death.

The final 6 were TheItalianMan (D1), Aurelio\_Beaumont (D2), Aeron\_Pentier (D4), Finnick\_Odair (D4), Lars\_Watts (5), and AlySings (D8). Before the countdown could reach 0, Finnick's forcefield was let down early and viciously charged at the others. The Gamemakers made their trackers knock them all out before Finnick could complete his massacre.

About 30 minutes later, they all awoke back on their pedestals. When the countdown ended, Finnick snapped his leg and fell into the water at the Cornucopia--sinking to the bottom. Aurelio quickly sliced open TheItalianMan's neck and watched him bleed out. Lars tried to take advantage of the situation and charged at Aurelio. Although his leg was impaled by Lars' spear, Aurelio eventually stabbed Lars with his sword. Aeron would watch Aurelio and decided that now was the time. Aeron snuck up from behind and slit Aurelio's throat.

A great battle ensued between AlySings and Aeron, but it wasn't long before Aeron's dexterity outmanuevered Aly and knocked her down. Aeron would come over and finish the job by stabbing her in the heart with his kukri knife.

Aeron Pentier was declared victor of the 26th Hunger Games.
