Darkness surrounds me as I awake. Where the hell am I? Slowly, the platform I'm standing on rises up. The sun glare hurts my eyes, but I soon recover and look around. All around me are others and the crazy part about this is I know them all. I see that tall buildings rising up at least fifty stories. An abandoned house complex is on the other side of me.

To my left is a young woman with brown hair and to my right is a middle aged man with black hair that sticks up. Each one of us had a weird number tattooed on our arms. I look down to find that my number was five.

" Happy Hunger Games and may odds the be ever in your favor." a random voice says out of thin air. "59,58,57,56,55..." the voice continues.

My memory comes back that the Hunger Games is a death match where twenty four different people, from twelve different districts have to fight to the death. The countdown is still going as I realize that most of these people here are never leaving and that I may have to kill them. Scouting I see inside the cornucopia is a katana and a medium sized backpack. Thinking to myself 'This is my only chance even though it is risky'. I realize at that moment that I can die today.

"10,9,8,7.." the countdown continues as I position myself. The gong sounds and everyone is off their platform. Out of nowhere a blade comes way to close to my face for comfort. Sprinting I reach the bag and katana. Turning to run I see Anthony from Smosh cut open Mystery Guitar Man's stomach. His blood stained the ground as he fell and would never get back up. Out of a stack of boxes, Nigahiga charges at me with two knifes as sharp which he wielded with experience. My katana clashes with the knives. We keep it up for a few seconds till I felt blood splash on my hands. Nigahiga gave a look that I know I will never forget. He crumbles to the ground with his eyes blankly staring forward with his body unmoving.

I turn to find an arrow if front of my face. Her straight blond hair and her eyes were beautiful. She looks at me and speaks, but does not lower her bow.

"Shane? Is that you?" She asks me. Looking at my arm she sees that I have the same number that she has.

"Lisa! Don't shoot me. And yes it is me. Why don't we work together? We can get through this madness," I reply. She nodes and fires her arrow at me. Bracing myself for the numbness of death it doesn't happen. I hear something hit the floor. KassemG is on the ground, he must have come up behind me. We head out of the cornucopia and find two more people dead. Unmoving Lania, or better known Overly Attached Girlfriend, and Bree Essrig was a few yards away from her.

An agonizing scream come out of a voice to our right. Dan Is Not On Fire is laying on the ground as he bleeds out from a wound. SxePhil is standing over with his ax dripping with blood. SxePhill runs into the city before giving Dan the death blow. Joey Graceffa runs towards me with his broad sword out. Our swords clash as we hit each other. Joey's sword slips out of his hand and he falls back. I put my foot on his chest.

"Please don't kill me! Why don't we form an alliance so we all can make it out of here?" he pleads.

"Why should we trust you? You could just wait and kill us in our sleep." Lisa questioned him.

Joey continues, " I won't do that to you guys and you know that." Without taking my foot off his chest I whisper to Lisa "What should we do with him? Maybe we shouldn't kill him just yet." Lisa looks at me and nods. I step off of Joey's chest letting him get off the ground. We all look at each other and find that almost everyone is gone. Out of the corner of my eye I see Olga Kay throw a knife squarely into MacBarbie's back. MacBarbie is on the street in seconds. On the other side Lucas Cruikshank is dueling with Anthony. Both of them are cut up and bruised, but neither of them looks like they will stop. From behind Lucas, Ian from Smosh slits his throat. Smosh looks at us and we look back at them.

Smosh disappears into the city. Our group gathers up the supplies and leave the center so that the bodies could be picked up. I already know that this whole thing is going to be a pain in the ass and that I may never get the chance to go back home alive.
