22nd Hunger Games

## Arena

The 22nd Hunger Games was set on a windswept island with long, tall palm trees encircling the "Bay of Treasures". The Cornucopia was a cave in the middle of the bay, encrusted with precious jewels. A ruined tower can be seen overlooking the arena.

## Synopsis

The Gamemakers have decided to add potential systems to the Games including: An electrified forcefield, new sponsor system, and rising pedestals.

The Tributes rose into the arena from their pedestals. They noticed how much heat was in the arena and how many insects there were around the bay.

The bloodbath begun with the District 2 tribute, QweenOfHell, claiming first blood by killing the District 9 tribute CarterSlayz. Seven tributes risked braving the jungle instead of facing the tributes fighting at the Cornucopia.

At the end of Day One, 8 tributes were dead. For the tributes who were near the water, they soon discovered that puffer-fish coming closer were no ordinary puffer-fish. They were a mutt combining the defensive qualities of a normal puffer-fish, but with the blood-thirst and offensive qualities of a piranha.

At daybreak, the tributes were tired and sweaty as they hunted for each other. Some of them happened upon a fog that burns flesh upon contact. No deaths were reported from this event. A loud bang was heard throughout the arena as the District 9 tribute, Glosta, hit the forcefield and died upon impact. Several others would share the same fate.

The final 4 were 5c4 (D4), Zach (D7), Jukoz (D7), and Snake (D10). By this point, they all contracted a horrendous disease: Yellow Fever. The Gamemakers announced that there would be a feast at the Ruined Tower which had 4 vaccines for the Yellow Fever.

The tributes rushed their way towards the tower with haste. Jukoz made it there first and injected himself with the cure. He hid in the tower, waiting to ambush the other tributes. He saw Snake approaching but Snake saw him. Snake ran away and Jukoz chased after him. Snake hid in a crack in the mountain, but was discovered by Jukoz. Snake swung at him with a mace but Jukoz was unaffected. The wound was there but he felt no damage. Jukoz disarmed Snake and snapped her neck. He begun to walk away when Snake weakly began grabbing her mace. Jukoz turned around and stabbed her in the throat, finally killing her.

Zach found 5c4 and chased after him. 5c4 tried to make it to the water--where he planned to kill Zach, but was knocked to his side by Zach. 5c4 would fight defensively with his trident but as soon as Zach grabbed the trident by the base, Zach would stab him with his sword.

Zach grabbed his trident and waited by the beach as the sun rose on Day 3. Jukoz emerged from the jungle, crying and bleeding. Zach rushed over and asked if he was okay. Jukoz shook his head.

In secret, Jukoz reached into his pocket and shown Zach the steroids he smuggled into the arena. Zach said that if Jukoz killed him, he would be treated and would live. Jukoz shook his head, saying that Zach has a family to look after in 7. Jukoz wished Zach the best of luck and walked over to the bay. He threw down his weapon and jumped into the water. He dived down and down until he drowned. He sacrificed his life so that Zach could go home.

Zach was declared victor of the 22nd Hunger Games.
