2nd Hunger Games

2ND YEAR, II ADTT

The 2nd Hunger Games was the second year of the annual event known as the Hunger Games. Like the previous year, one boy and one girl from each district was sent to the Capitol to fight for their life in the Capitol Arena. A live audience was present, but because of heckling and interference from the crowd this year, as well as fear for the safety of the crowd after a tribute attempted to interact with them, it was determined in future years that there would no longer be an audience present in the arena, meaning that the only way to watch the Games live would be on television. This year also marks the only year that the victor died while still in the arena.

Timeline

The Reaping

DATE: JULY 4, 2 ADTT

This year, extra precautions were taken at the reaping to ensure that tributes would not attempt to escape and therefore no deaths would occur before the tributes actually made it to the Capitol. As per the previous year, the reapings occurred according to the locations of the districts, starting from east to west. In all districts, an extra number of peacekeepers accompanied the tributes to the carriages, leaving most tributes too scared to even think about fleeing.

Tributes

DISTRICT 1: M - AUREUM SHAFFER, AGE 16 F - JEWEL VALENCIA, AGE 16 DISTRICT 2: M - MORTER CABALLERO, AGE 13 F - LUCERNE RITTER, AGE 18 DISTRICT 3: M - BUFFER RANNOCH, AGE 14 F - MODELICA TORRID, AGE 14 DISTRICT 4: M - GAFF SAELING, AGE 15 F - MAGELLA CALLAHAN, AGE 18 DISTRICT 5: M - NIKOLA BOZZELLI, AGE 16 F - IONNA VANADIS, AGE 14 DISTRICT 6: M - OTO MONTGOMERY, AGE 18 F - NAIROBI DIDSBURY, AGE 13 DISTRICT 7: M - FICUS ACCIAI, AGE 17 F - PITHIA WOODWARD, AGE 17 DISTRICT 8: M - MERINO COOLEY, AGE 12 F - KELSI CORTEZ, AGE 15 DISTRICT 9: M - RUEBEN MULDER, AGE 12 F - SEMOLINA MARIJA, AGE 17 DISTRICT 10: M - TARTARE HUESCAS, AGE 17 F - SKINNER BALE, AGE 14 DISTRICT 11: M - CHARCE SHEELS, AGE 15 F - PRIMICIA SWET, AGE 18 DISTRICT 12: M - GOVE CARTWRIGHT, AGE 18 F - OPHRA DELL, AGE 16

Arrival in the Capitol

DATE: JULY 6, 2 ADTT

When the tributes arrived in the Capitol the following night, they were moved to the Peacekeeper stables instead of the animal pens, separated by district. This measure was intended to limit interactions between tributes before their entry into the arena. Peacekeepers were stationed outside of the stable room, blocking the exit as to not allow any attempt at escape.

DATE: JULY 7, 2 ADTT

However, the following morning, when Peacekeepers checked on the tributes, they found Nairobi (D6) and Ionna (D5) dead. Nairobi had multiple stab wounds on her stomach and torso, while Ionna had a deep gash cut along her neck. Peacekeepers demanded for a confession as to who caused the deaths, but none of the tributes spoke up. After the peacekeepers cocked their guns, Nikola (D5) eventually pointed towards Oto (D6), claiming that he had killed the tributes and that he was hiding a knife. Oto resisted the claims, but he was overpowered by the peacekeepers and promptly shot in the head. The bodies of Oto, Nairobi, and Ionna were then taken from the stables while the other tributes were left in shock and fear.

A malfunction with the Capitol Arena’s doors caused a significant delay in starting the Games. While they were scheduled to be taken to the arena just before 10 AM, it wasn't until later that evening that the doors were fixed, leaving the tributes without food or water over their elongated period of time in the stables, making them dehydrated and weakened.

The Arena

DATE: JULY 7, 2 ADTT TIME: 20:00 - 22:59

The tributes were transported to the Capitol Arena, which was once used for sporting, entertainment, and military events prior to the Dark Days, but fell into disrepair afterwards. The tributes were limited to the central playing field.

Because of the late start of this year's games, the audience turnout was much lower than expected, leaving the stands sparsley filled. Many of the tributes appeared dizzy due to the lack of food and water that they had received over the last few days. Gaff (D4), confused and delirious, ran towards the weapons pile before the countdown had even began; however, in just seconds, he was shot in the skull by a peacekeeper. No other tributes dared to move as they took their spots around the weapons, and when the countdown ended and buzzer sounded, only a few tributes sluggishly made their way towards the pile of weapons, while the rest remained on their spots, hardly able to stand due to the dizziness. After a few minutes passed with hardly any action, the crowd started growing bored and restless as they booed from the stands, while one audience member threw an open bag of nuts out of anger. The nuts fell into the field and scattered on impact, drawing the attention of many of the tributes. Merino (D8), who had grabbed a knife from the pile of weapons, lunged at the bag of nuts and began clawing them up from the ground, but it wasn't long before other tributes realized that they too wanted a share of the food. Pithia (D7), Semolina, (D9), and Aureum, (D1), quickly ran up and began collecting nuts from the ground as well. Pithia, realizing that Merino had collected most of the nuts, attacked him with her hatchet, killing him, and stole the handful of nuts that he had wrapped in his shirt. In the meantime, Aureum and Semolina grappled over the last of the nuts, with Aureum eventually being able to stab Semolina in the back of the neck with his knife before sprinting to the edge of the field and scoffing down the nuts. The fighting that had occurred over this food greatly pleased the crowd, and many more members of the audience began throwing their food and drinks as well, littering the field with all kinds of nutriments. However, this actually had the opposite effect of what the audience desired, as all the tributes ignored each other's presence in favor of the food and beverages, which in turn made the audience stop throwing anything into the field.

As the minutes went by the and tributes scoffed down whatever they were able to collect, the supplies began to dwindle. At this point, tributes were beginning to confront one another for food and drinks, causing fights to break out. The first tribute to be killed because of this was Jewel (D1), who tried to steal a bottle of water from Lucerne (D2). However, Lucerne fought back and was able to greatly injure and kill Jewel with a hooked machete. In the meantime, some tributes were stealing from one another and injuring each other in the process, while Modelica (D3), the tiny girl who was beginning to drink from her third bottle of water, was confronted and killed by Ficus (D7), who took the bottle of water plus the half-eaten sandwich that she had. As Ficus was taking sips from the bottle and munching on the sandwich, Aureum began to approach him after unsuccessfully trying to steal a apple from Lucerne, but Ficus quickly raised his ax in defense and threw a brick at the boy, making him back up and divert his attention to another tribute. Aureum looked around before seeing Pithia, who was busy drinking from a bottle of cranberry juice. Pithia was so indulged in the drink that she failed to notice Aureum approach her until it was too late, and Aureum slaughtered her with his knife before taking her drink and chugging it. Over the next several minutes, Tartare (D10) was killed by Lucerne over a sandwich, and Rueben (D9) was killed by Gove over a bottle of water, before Gove was then killed by Magella (D4) with a short spear. In fact, Magella did not even seem interesting in taking the food for herself and instead solely seemed set on killing her stronger opponents. As Gove was killed by Magella, Ophra (D12) appeared furious over the death of her district partner. As Magella was slowly approaching Ficus, prepared to fight, Ophra grabbed a pickaxe from the pile of weapons before running with a limp at Magella. Magella easily heard Ophra coming towards her and dodged her attack, and for the next few minutes, Ophra repeatedly swung at Magella with the pickaxe, which she was clearly not adept with, while Magella seemed only slightly irritated by the attempts towards her death. The audience was quite amused by this scuffle, laughing every time Ophra failed to hit Magella. Eventually, it wasn't long before Ophra became too exhausted to even raise the pickaxe above her head, at which point Magella shoved her to the ground and impaled the short spear into her heart.

Many of the tributes had become distracted by this fight, which allowed some of the tributes to easily attack. Morter (D2), who had been watching while eating a cookie, was unable to detect Primicia (D11) come up behind him before she subsequently stabbed a pitchfork into his back. Not too long after this, Buffer (D3) was axed to death by Ficus, who took a bag of nuts that was in the boy's jacket pocket. As the next several minutes went by, the tributes continued to consume the last of their food and water, while Magella stood near the weapons pile as she intimately eyed up the other tributes. By this point the crowed was quickly becoming bored and a few audience members began to leave. However, the silence was soon interrupted by chanting coming from the entrance of the stands. Apparently, a group of anti-Hunger Games protesters had gotten past the peacekeepers and were now raising signs while chanting, "Stop the games, end the fight, no more blood, its not our right!" The audience members who had already been seated immediately began booing the protestors and many more got up to leave, annoyed by the constant commotion, while peacekeepers were calmly trying to get the protestors to leave.

Down in the field, the tributes appeared to be somewhat amused at this sight; however, Charce (D11) could be see covering his ears due to the constant chanting of the crowd. He became so annoyed, in fact, that he stood up, walked towards the stands, and threw his knife at the protestors, hitting one in the stomach. The audience in the stands and the protestors immediately began to abandon what they were doing as they rushed to the exit amidst a large uproar, fearful that they too could be attacked by the tributes. Due to the chaos of the situation, some Capitol citizens even ended up being stomped to death. In the meantime, Charce was immediately shot by a peacekeeper, while Kelsi (D8) was hit and killed in the crossfire. The rest of the tributes quickly took cover from the bullets. Even when the stands were now empty, the tributes still remained in their spots, huddled and shaking out of fear.

Nearly the next hour went by with almost no action. Some tributes, such as Magella and Aureum moved around a bit, but the interactions between tributes was scarce. It wasn't until the peacekeepers ordered for the tributes to begin fighting that some action occurred. Not wanting to be another victim to the peacekeepers' bullets, Magella picked up her short spear and chose to try and take out some of the weaker competition in order to achieve easy kills. Her first target was Skinner (D10), whom she had no difficulty killing. She then targeted Nikola (D5), who put up a fight, but was ultimately unable to defend himself against the girl from 4. At this point, Magella appeared to be having trouble on which of her remaining opponents — who were Aureum, Lucerne, Ficus, and Primicia — she would attack next. However, as she was trying to decide, both Lucerne and Ficus got up from their spots with their weapons and began to approach Magella. Magella seemed to worry at the sight of both tributes, but chose to focus her attention on Ficus, as she likely believed that she would have an easier time fighting against him than Lucerne. The pair fought as Lucerne watched from a safe distance. Eventually, Ficus managed to disarm Magella and chopped his hatchet into her skull. Just as soon as Magella slumped to the ground, Lucerne ran over and swung her hooked machete at Ficus, who narrowly dodged the attack. The pair fought for several minutes, managing to injure each other slightly, but ultimately Ficus gained the upper hand on Lucerne and the latter was forced to retreat. However, before Lucerne could even find a place to station herself to rest, she was ambushed by Aureum. Lucerne was too weak to defend herself, allowing Aureum to ultimately kill her. This now left just Aureum, Ficus, and Primicia remaining, the latter of which had been quietly watching the action from a distance, keeping most of her attention on the peacekeepers rather than the other tributes.

After several minutes of rest, Ficus approached the weapons pile and picked out a deadlier ax, discarding his hatchet. He swung the ax around for a minute, testing out its weight, before turning to face Primicia, who had been staring at a peacekeeper for the past five minutes. Ficus began to slowly walk towards her with his ax, but she quickly noticed him and stood up and instantly began moving away, but Ficus followed her. Soon enough, the pair had broken into a run. Although Primicia was quick, Ficus eventually caught up to her. The two tributes fought each other, gaining hits on one other every so often, and after a while, Ficus, although rather injured, managed to shove his ax into her heart. While this was happening, Aureum chugged down the last of a water bottle and grabbed the hooked machete from Lucerne's corpse. Shortly after Ficus had killed Primicia, Aureum ran forward an attacked Ficus. The two boys fought, but Aureum gained the upper hand several times on Ficus, who was weak from all the injuries he had endured. At one point, Aureum slashed open Ficus's stomach and he was forced to practically hold his intenseness from falling out. Ficus took a few steps back from Auruem, but fell to the ground and was now unable to get back up. Aureum hobbled towards ficus with the hooked machete and just as he raised his weapon to kill, Ficus threw his ax at Aureum with all his strength, hitting the boy in the neck. Aureum fell to his knees and took the weapon from his throat, but blood then began pouring from the wound and he was unable to breath. After a minute, Aureum died.

As Ficus continued to lay on the ground, struggling to breath, the peacekeepers surrounded him and seemed stuck on how to deal with this gravely injured tribute. After a minute, an order was given by Head Gamemaker Gaul to shoot the boy, seeing how paramedics would be unable to save him at this state. So, a peacekeeper did just that and the bodies were promptly dragged from the building.

Aftermath

After was seemed like an extremely chaotic and embarrassing year for the Hunger Games, it was questioned whether or not the event should be ditched all together. However, after much convincing from Dr. Volumnia Gaul, the head of the Capitol's Experimental Weapons Division and the Head Gamemaker of the Hunger Games, who promised that extra precautions be taken, another year of the games was agreed to — but, if the following year failed to live up to its expectations, there was an almost definite chance that the Hunger Games would scrapped entirely. Additionally, all but one recording of this year's games were destroyed.

1st Hunger Games

1ST YEAR, I ATDD

The 1st Hunger Games were the very first games held within The Capitol and was an unchartered experience for both the Capitol audience and the fighting tributes. One boy and girl from each district was sent to the Capitol to fight for their life in the Capitol Arena, where a live audience would watch from the stands; only the wealthiest Capitol citizens were able to watch this unseen spectacle first-hand from the arena's seating.

Timeline

The Reaping

DATE: JULY 4, 1 ATDD

The reapings occurred according to the locations of the districts, starting from east to west; the first District to hold their reaping ceremony was District 12, while the last was District 5. However, in this last district, the boy from 5, Watt, snuck a knife in his pocket and stabbed a peacekeeper in the gut with it, before almost instantly being shot by another. Terrified, none of the other tributes dared to move as the peacekeepers dumped Watt's body off to the side of the train tracks. The rest of the trip to the Capitol occurred without disturbance.

Arrival in the Capitol

DATE: JULY 6, 1 ATDD

Upon arriving in the Capitol, the tributes were moved to an animal pen where they would spend the night. The environment was very dirty and smelt of manure, with no food or drinking water available for the tributes. Throughout the night, without the presence of peacekeepers, Fonio, the boy from 9, ended up starving to death.

DATE: JULY 7, 1 ADTT

The next morning, peacekeepers were surprised to also find that Laguna, from 4, and Brier, from 7, had also died over night. Although their cause of death was never disclosed, each had very prominent bruises and wounds on their bodies. It is not known what happened that night to cause these deaths, but peacekeeper reports state that screaming and commotion had occasionally been heard throughout the night, but no investigation was made during the time, having expected such behaviors from the "savage" district children. After these three bodies were dragged from the pen, the remaining tributes were transported to the arena.

The Arena

DATE: JULY 7, 1 ADTT TIME: 10:00 - 11:36

The tributes were transported to the Capitol Arena, which was once used for sporting, entertainment, and military events prior to the Dark Days, but fell into disrepair afterwards. The tributes were limited to the central playing field. Once the twenty remaining tributes made it into the arena, they were appeared shocked and disgusted to see that the three tributes who had died in the Capitol hung limply from the beams near the entrance. As the surviving tributes passed these bodies, they were instantly met with jeers and booing from the Capitol audience that filled the stands. After the tributes took their marks, they were so distraught over the whole situation that they were not even aware that the gong had sounded when it did. The tributes remained on their spots as the minutes went by, with some sitting down to weep while others looked at each other and the pile of weapons in front of them with tense expressions. However, as the crowd grew louder and more annoyed at the lack of action, a gunshot was suddenly heard from a peacekeeper, silencing the audience and alerting the tributes. Grapheen, the scrawny girl from 3 who had been crying in her arms as she sat on the floor, suddenly fell over at the sound of the gunshot as a pool of blood began to form beneath her head. While audiences were shocked by this sudden death, the tributes were visibly terrified, but still, the tributes did not move. After about twenty more seconds passed, another gunshot was heard from a peacekeeper, this time hitting Ike, the skinny boy from 8 who had a bad limp. Although most of the tributes were confused and scared by these gunshots, Semel, the stronger and healthier boy from 2, seemed to realize that the peacekeepers must be shooting the weaker tributes as a signal for the others to begin fighting, unless they rather be shot. He instantly ran for the pile of weapons and snatched up a gladius sword. While the other tributes were still paralyzed with fear, Semel ran over to Diesa, from 6, who at first froze, but then began to plead with Semel upon realizing what he was about to do. Semel hesitated as he raised his sword above his head, but as another peacekeeper cocked their gun, he plunged his sword through her neck. The crowd in the stands instantly began to cheer at this first ever kill, and many of the other tributes were now beginning to realize what the peacekeepers wanted and began running for the pile of weapons as well. The tributes sprang into action and began fighting one another, with five tributes being killed over the next eleven minutes by the hands of either Titiana, from 1, Wade, from 4, Rasher, from 10, or Ash, from 11.

A few tributes took a step back as they tried to take all of the situation in, while the audience was in awe at the carnage that filled the arena, with tributes running after one another with weapons, injuring each other, or simply just standing in shock. For the next few minutes, the tributes continued this trend, with Onyx, from 1 being killed by Rasher, and Marya, from 10, being killed by Titiana, but, as Semel was continuing to watch the bloodshed as he held his sword up in defense, he spotted Laverne, the girl from 7 whose physique did not garner much worry, pick up two handheld axes and attack Ash, who was one of the stronger tributes and had already killed the girl from District 2. Ash held out his sickle in defense, but Laverne, who was much quicker than him, was able to chop one of her axes into his shoulder, before hitting the other into his lower thigh. Ash howled out in pain and fell to the ground, before Laverne took out one of the axes and finished him off by smashing her ax into his face. Semel looked on in shock at this kill, just as Laverne looked up and locked eyes with him, before grabbing her axes and advancing towards him. Seeing this apparently deadly opponent come straight for him, Semel readied his sword to fight. However, Laverne threw her ax at him, who narrowly dodged the attack, in turn causing the ax to fly straight into Wade's neck, killing him. Laverne threw her next ax, but Semel was once again able to dodge it, before pulling the first ax from Wade's body and throwing it at Laverne, which hit her ankle and sent her tumbling to the ground. Laverne screamed in pain and tried to get up, but Semel quickly ran over and stabbed his sword into her skull, killing her.

The next hour passed as the tributes weakly continued to fight one another; During this time, Rasher and Auton, from 6, were killed by Titiana, who was then killed by Cicely, from 11, which left only four tributes remaining. All four tributes were now in separate parts of the arena; Semel was stood firmly with his sword by the stands; Vee, from 8, sat wounded on the other end, injured from a previous attack from Wade; Cicely crouched in the center of the arena with a kukri, guarding the weapons; and Ganner, from 12, stood fearfully under the three hanging bodies. With the time passing, the audience was once again growing bored, and after several minutes had gone by without any action, some booing was beginning to be heard from the stands, causing the peacekeepers to cock their guns once more. This seemed to worry Semel, so he began advancing towards his closest opponent, Ganner - a skinny boy who had only a knife. Upon realizing that Semel was heading towards him, Ganner tried to run away, but Semel was much faster and eventually became close enough to slash his sword across the back of Ganner's legs, sending him to the floor as he cried out in pain. As the Capitol audience began to cheer once again, Semel plunged his sword through Ganner's back. However, as he was wiping the blood and sweat from his face, he realized that the crowd's cheering was beginning to transform into what sounded like a warning. Semel looked up to the crowd, who were pointing behind him. He turned around, just as Cicely swung her kukri down. This warning from the crowd allowed Semel to dodge the attack at the last second and the weapon only scraped the edge of his right shoulder. As Semel moved out of the way, Cicely tripped to the ground, sending her kukri flying from her hand. She went to reach for her weapon, but Semel gave no hesitation as he stabbed her through the back with his sword, killing her after a minute. As he huffed out with exhaustion and winced at his now bleeding cut, Semel looked up to see his final opponent, Vee, who was still sat at the other end of the arena. The audience cheered for Semel to kill Vee, but he continued to stand over Cicely's body in exhaustion. The Capitol quickly grew annoyed by this and began aggressively shouting at Semel to slaughter Vee, but he only moved when the peacekeepers cocked their guns once more. Semel trudged towards Vee, dragging his sword along the way, before stopping just in front of her. He could see that Vee was bleeding greatly from her legs due to her injury from Wade, and as she looked up at Semel with terror, he easily slashed his sword through her neck, killing her quickly.

There were mixed reactions from the audience to this underwhelming ending, but Semel was nonetheless announced as the winner of the first annual Hunger Games. The peacekeepers advanced towards him as they ordered for him to drop his weapon, and once he did, he was forcefully escorted out of the arena and put into the back of a peacekeeper truck from which he was sent back to District 2.

Aftermath

Although this event was televised, not many citizens outside of the stands watched it, nor did virtually any district citizens. Nonetheless, the Hunger Games were admitted for another year by President Ravinstill, who deemed the event to be a successful way of punishing the districts. Rumors of the bloodshed quickly spread across the Capitol as advertising for the event became more rampent, with other citizens wanting to see the Games for themselves.
