Notice: This is not canon. It's based off cannon elements but the story contents are only for entertainment.     

The 68th Hunger Games took place 6 years before the current story. The arena was a hot desert speckled with lakes. The tributes began the game on the edge of a large sand/ rock pit. The cornucopia rested at the bottom of the pit and was only reachable via one set of stairs or by sliding down the sides. The walls of the pit where extremely steep and lined with sharp rocks. Several tributes were injured descending or retreating from the pit.

This was the second game designed by Marillion Braxus. Braxus found favor with President Snow for his method of hiding messages in his games. This game damaged there relationship when Braxus attempted to kill Jann Opree after being bribed by wealthy families in district 1 and 4. Braxus would design one more game before his mysterious death.

The final four where: Stella Vonner, Jann Opree, Idris Webber, and Garrett Hopps. The Champion of this game was Idris Webber of District 8. Webber was the 4th ever champion and second female champion from her district.

Arena[]

The tributes began in the south west zone of the arena. The pit and the cornucopia is surrounded by a 10ft dune. Past the dune the Arena was an expanse of sand, rock formations, and small ponds and lakes. There is little to no trees in this the arena only a small glen of dead shrubs south of the cornucopia.

Mutts[]

Striped Ligers:[]

Large Mutts that look like a mix of a lions and a tiger. They were incredibly fast and vicious with long sharp front teeth. There only flaw is there eyesight, a flaw that many of the tributes used to there advantage. These mutts where released later in the game to push the tributes out of hiding. Notably Britt Lee from district 4, used beef jerky he found in the cornucopia to tame on of these beasts. He was able to kill several of his tributes using his tamed Liger.

Ripper Pythons:[]

Long Skinny snakes notable for the sharp spines that grow from their backs. They rely heavily on smell and heat to find their victims. They gained their name for there tendency to wrap around their prey and ripping them apart and eating them.

Fang Tooth Bats:[]

Palm sized creatures that inhabit caves. They don't cause much damage to their victims but there bites can cause Hallucinations, vision loss, and nausea.

Lake Creature ??:[]

Little is known about this mutt and many of the game makers were unaware of its presence in the game. Some speculate that it was placed personally by head game maker Marillion Braxus as a way to kill Jann Opree (District 2) and soothe conflict in District 4.

Lavender Lizards[]

Designed by Marillion Braxus, these creatures serve no purpose as they neither benefit nor harm the tributes. They were included solely to fill the environment. Following his death a song became popular in district 2 about a rich man and his love for lavender lizards.

Game Summary[]

<Day 1>[]

All the tributes started at the top of a large deep pit which help the cornucopia. At the games start the tributes closest to the one set of stairs, Stella Vonner (1) and Haddie Montbat (4), Where able to reach the cornucopia first. Others farther away opted to slide down the sides leaving several with large cuts and bruises. At the bottom Stella blocked the stairs forcing several tributes into her fellow careers. Tamara Sharp from 3 was the first to die when she was pushed down the stairs by Jann Opree and killed by Stella Vonner. Bruno Steir (10), Holly Brusch (9), and Monte Fusain (12) died in a similar manner. Several tributes including Desmere Wool (8), Wren Spruce (12), and Robertt Claw (5) where able to grab supplies and scramble up the sides of the pit. Most of the other tributes opted to ditch the cornucopia all together. After the first few hours most of the tributes, except for the careers, were over the dune. Outside the pit teh tributes found several lakes and rock formations. They would quickly find that each lake had there own quality. Madi Birch (7) burned off her hand and wrist trying to collect water from a beautiful clear lake. Suou Maize (11) drank from a Greenish blue lake with a sweet smell and became dazed and confused for several days. Nelli Brugus (10) who thought she figured out the lakes, drank from a small pond full of fish and the water burned through her throat killing her instantly. In the cornucopia the Careers found plenty of water bottles and no water which forced them out of the pit and over the dune. After Tyger Steel (2) lost his leg washing it in a lake of acid the Careers formulated a plan to find water. Tracking down a Dane Treck (6) , they forced him to try several small ponds. By the time they found stable water Treck had burned of all the fingers on his left hand lost most of his left leg burned his asofagas, and drugged himself into a drunken stupor. Stella Vonner killed him when they found clean water. The public found this a promising beginning thought many were disappointed by the lack of deaths in the blood bath. Many of the districts especially district 6 found the treatment of Dane sadistic.

<Day 2>[]

At the start of day the tributes were well distanced from each other and without supplies. Most feared returning to the cornucopia and running into the careers. Robett Claw (5) who was only able to make out with a shovel started following Wren Spruce (12) who had significantly more supplies from the cornucopia. Wren was significantly bigger than him and she was armed with a spear so Claw opted to keep his distance. Instead he waited for Wren to make camp and he began to tunnel underneath her. This maneuver won him the name "Mole Boy" in the capital.

Many capital viewers noted that Stella Vonner and Haddie Mountbat where the de facto leaders of the careers pack. Britt Lee (4) a talented swimmer and survivalist but he lacked solid fighting skills. Lorkin Saph (1) who really had no place in the alliance continued to annoy most of his fellow careers. Tyler Steel (2) a talented fighter was severely wounded and opted to use his spear as a crutch rather then a weapon. The state of the careers and the leadership angered the last career Jann Opree who was devastated to find that her weapon of choice, a bow, was nowhere to be found in the cornucopia. By the end of the second day the group was barely holding together.

<Day 3>[]

On Day three the capital was shocked and disgusted When Jann Opree killed the Capital darling Hadie Mountbat while she was sleeping. Opree also attempted to kill her fellow tribute Tyler steel but she only succeeded in cutting off his ear. Stella Vonner woke to find her friend dead but before she could exact her revenge Opree ditched the group. This event was the final straw for the alliance and they all agreed to go separate ways.

On the Other side of the arena Frei Oakley (7) cornered Jayn Alpay (5) in a Grove of cactus. Idris Webber attempting to save Alpay, left her hiding spot in the cactuses. She tried to make conversation with Oakley as put distance between herself and the district 7 tribute. Webber who intended for Oakley to kill her was horrified when her fellow district 8 tribute stabbed him through the back. The pair came to a truce and they became allies. They traveled West and found a small rocky outcrop to make camp. To the pairs surprise Jayn Aplay had also found the cave. In exchange for her tarp and bandages they agreed to let her into the alliance.

Madi Birch (7) and Jordyn Zech (3) also formed an alliance which surprised most capital viewers as they had no connection. With Birchs skill with combat and Zech's skill with building traps the pair were able to survive several attacks by ripper pythons.

<Day 4>[]

After leaving the Career pack Britt lee (4) lacked a usable weapon to take down his fellow careers. On day 4 Liger Mutts where released and began hunting recruits. Britt using the bag of jerky he was able to steal from the Cornucopia as able to slowly tame one of these beasts.

One of the most viewed aspects was Robett Claw's progress towards Wren Spruce (12). Spruce who failed to leave her camp next to one of the few bodies of clean water was unaware of any threat, instead focusing on the dangerous wildlife. On the 4th night Claw broke ground in the cave Spruce was sleeping in. He pilliaged her supplies stealing a water bottle, crackers, and a spool of wire. Realizing he would not be able to effectively kill Spruce with his shovel Craw opted to electrify the lake. Using the wire he connected it to an electric lake to the north. The wire was then connected to the small pond outside Wrens cave. The next morning when wren went to drink from the lake she electrocuted herself and died.

<Day 5>[]

Lorkin Saph came upon Desemre away from his fellow tributs. At the cave Jayn and Idris wake to hundreds of ripper pythons emerging from deep in the cave. The girls bolt from the cave only able tarp, a small knife and a cup. The snakes separate the girls and Idris is forced north and Jayn south. While running from the snakes Idris bumps into a badly injured Desmere and a bloodthirsty Lorkin. With lorkin and an Army of snakes approaching Idris breaks out the tarp and covers the pair lying as flat as possible. The snakes glide over them slicking small holed into the tarp but causing the little damage. Instead the snakes attack Lorkin cutting up his legs and arms. In an effort to get the snakes off Lorkin shoved his arm into a pond of poisoned water burning them off but also severely injuring his arms and legs. In pain Lorkin collected some of the poisoned water in a water bottle intending to kill himself. Before he can he passes out from the pain.

<Day 6>[]

Using the tarp Idris is able to drag Desmere to a small pond with clean water and a large boulder for cover where she satemps to treat his wounds. Desmere is confused by this waiting for Idris to finish him off. Idris explains how she wants to die so Desmere can win and bring riches back to 8 and her family.

Britt lee has perfected his relationship with his Liger. On the edge of the arena he finds Madi and Jordyn huncred down is a cave. Brett waits for Madi to leave the cave when he sticks the beast on her. Terrified Jordyn bolts but it's no use the liger catches up and kills him.

Jann Opree Is able to survive for several days by killing Ligers and hiding inside there carcuses to hide her smell from other ligers. After days of this game of hide and seek Jann came across the hole dug by Robett Claw. Following it she comes across Robetts wire riggins and his supplies he's stolen from other tributes and the Cornucopia through a series of tunnels. Opree waits outside the entrance to the hole calling for help. When Robett comes up from the cave Jann strangles him with his metal wire killing him. Jann quickly collected Robetts supplies and leaves the small lake.

Towards the end of the day Lorkin awakes to Suou Maize (11) searching him. He watches helplessly as she chokes down the pack of crackers he had in his pockets. After finishing them she reached for the water bottle in his hands. She quickly chugs the whole bottle. Lorkin realizing her mistake smiles as she chokes and sputters collapsing at his side. Realizing the potential of this poisoned water Lorkin collects all his strength to collect more and make his way back towards the cornucopia.

<Day 7>[]

After leaving Robett, Jann heads north where he runs into a pack of ligers that chase her to the edge of the cornucopia. There she finds a large lake with surprisingly clean water. Across the lake she notices Jetta Hinge (6) has created a camp on a large boulder. Jann attempts to surprise attack her but Jetta hears her and jumps into the lake trying to swim away. Jann jumps in after her but halfway through Jetta is dragged down by a large tentacle. Another reaches up pulling down Jann as well. Using a small blade Jann is able to stab the tentacle and escape to the bolder. A cannon is heard and Jetta is never seen again.

On his way towards the Cornucopia finds Robett claws camp. Using his stolen bandages and ointment. Lorkin is able to cover his wounds. Among Robett things is another water bottle which Lorkin fills with fresh water. He continues toward the cornucopia where he runs into Stella and a pack of Ligers. Lorkins Clanks together his bottles which distracts the large cats. This helps Stella to kill them. This creates a fragile truce. Out of implied kindness Lorkin offers Stella water. Suspicious Stella Pretends to drink the water letting it glide down her cheek leaving a burn line. Lorkin is confused believing he mixed up the bottles. He offeres her the other bottle and drinks from the poisoned one. He begins to choke and dies. Stella pleased takes both bottles and heads west.

The district 8 recruits are able to find Robetts cave for shelter and Idris uses the clean pond water to able to clean and treat Desmeres wounds. The clean water is a relief but all of the supplies in the cave where gone, stone by other tributes. The two try to sleep of the hunger. Stella passes the cave and noticing the two inside, dumps the bottle of poisoned water into the pond.

<Day 8>[]

Desmere is woken by the sound of a sponsor gift. Outside the cave he watched it kland in the middle of the lake and sink to the bottom. Desmere quickly jumps in to retrieve it but as he swims his skin starts to burn and he struggles to breathe. Idris now awake sees Desmere start to flounder. She is able to reach him and drag him back to the shore but his skin is covered in boils and his skin is peeling off. He dies in her arms. Idris is traumatized and refuses to let him go for several hours. Finally she lets his body float into the pond and a helicopter retrieves him. Idris sits staring at the pond for several hours trying to figure out what sent him in. At twilight she get on top of the cave to get a better view. While there Tyger Sees her and traps her on top of the rock. Realizing she's trapped Idris jumps into the pond sinking to the bottom. She waits to die but it never comes. As she sinks to the bottom of the lake she notices the sponsor gift. Retrieving it she returns to the surface of the water. as she does the poison hits her but she is able to jump out of the pond. On the edge she throws up profusely. When she finishes she finally takes the time to look at the sponsor gift. In a long case she finds a fine steel sword. The note inside reads "Sweeter the rose sharper the thorns. Do me proud." - Caesar Flickerman. The note was kind and candid and Idris knew immediately it wasn't from caesar. The note spoke to one man she knew wanted her dead, But the blade felt good in her hands solid and sturdy. The rage she felt for the games for the death of her friend for the poverty of her family for the existence of the game. She felt her blood boil. She quickly left the camp looking for signs of him the tall idiot who tried to kill her, end her for what didn't he know she was human. She found him slowly going north Quickly she tackled bashing his face with the hilt of the blade. He pushes her off aiming his spear but she swipes it away he strikes again but she is able to dodge the blow. The thrusts again but he misses and lodging the spear in ground This mistake gave Idris the opportunity to stab him in the stomach. Realizing what she's done she begins her journey back to the cornucopia. This day was one of the most shocking and popular among the capital viewers. The public where confused and happily surprised to see Webbers potential. Caesar received a lot of good press for his gift.

He pleads with her to give him a chance as an ally, but she doesn't and they fight. Despite Garrett's pleas for mercy, Stella pushes him into the pond which crackles with electricity. He twitches and sinks to the bottom. Stella is in a state of shock and races back towards the Pit.

In a clearing she tries to stop the bleeding but she knows Jayn is going to die. She holds her until twilight when her cannon sounds. Idris Is deeply disturbed by Jaynes death and she sits rocking in place for several hours. At midnight Idris hears the familiar tone of a sponsor gift. A small case floats into her lap. Inside is a roll of dark purple ribbon. The note inside simply reads " 8 ". Idris is deeply moved by this token and she wraps it around her waist.

<Day 11>[]

With a madding fury Jann climbs the steps meeting Jan 2/3 of the way down. they struggle on the steps fighting for control of the spear. In the meantime Idris slowly rises. Her dominant hand is barely functioning and she can barely raise her other arm from the pin of the missing chunk in her shoulder. By madness or genius she unties the purple ribbon from her waist and wraps it around the hand lashing the sword to her hand. Slowly she rises to meet her fate.

Instead she made a point to get to know all of her fellow tributes documenting their lives. In her private lesson she read these stories to the judges. This act earned her one of the lowest scores in the games. Snow who found this act rebellious let it go as no one but the judges knew about it and he could tell Webber intended to die in the games. In her interview she was able to coast by turning the questions on to Flickerman. Caesar found this frustrating but he noted to the crowd that he found it rather therapeutic to talk about himself.
