...
Sonic the Hedgehog's friend, Tails, gave Sonic an idea. Because they hated Mario characters, the idea was to send them to an arena where they fought to the death. Sonic agreed, liking the idea of watching Mario characters kill eachother on live Television. Because Sonic was the most wealthiest man in the world, nobody could protest against the idea, so it began. Sonic picked 20 Mario characters to go into the games...
20 Mario characters sat in a train as they got escorted to the arena. Wendy was fidgeting.
'I can't believe I'm going to the hunger games!' she said. 'I'm also the youngest! I don't even know how the hell to fight, nevermind KILL!'
Ludwig sat next to her.
'Well, at least it wasn't one of our younger brothers, like Larry and Morton' he said.
Wendy nodded.
'But why would Sonic do this to us?' she asked.
Ludwig shook his head and sighed.
'Mario and Sonic are rivals' he said. 'But I don't know why he would do THIS to us'.
...
Pauline sat alone in the back of the train. She spotted Mario talking to Luigi, Peach and Daisy. She scowled. She didn't like Luigi and Daisy, hated Peach, and hated Mario for being with Peach. She decided she would kill them four first, then find camp, and kill anyone who came near. She smiled deviously and sat back in her seat.
...
Mario looked out the window, and then turned back to his brother, his girlfriend and his friend.
'How are we going to do this? I'm so scared' said Daisy.
'Us three will be with you' said Luigi.
Daisy nodded.
'As soon as we are there, run into the forest' said Peach.
'You three run into the forest' said Mario. 'I'll get some weapons'.
'No need' grinned Peach, pulling out a large black bag from underneath her seat. 'Have a look inside'.
Mario, Luigi and Daisy grinned and opened the bag. Inside, were two machine guns, a revolver, a tazor and a machete.
'I have writen it all down on a sheet of paper' said Peach, pulling out a sheet of paper from her bag. 'Mario and Luigi will have the machine guns, I will have the revolver, and Daisy can have the tazor and the machete'.
'Yes!' said Daisy, clapping her hands together.
...
Th train was loud with chatting as the train zoomed on. Suddenly, it stopped, and the passengers gulped. The doors opened, and the 20 stepped onto the grass. They stared at their friends, knowing soon, they will have to kill them. Suddenly, they heard Sonic's loud, booming voice.
'LET THE MARIO HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!' said the voice around the arena.
For a moment, everyone stood still, and then Toadette began running towards the forest. Everyone shot into action, running in every direction.
...
Sonic sat in a chair, laughing. He was watching everyone running on a big screen. Tails was standing next to him, pleased that Sonic liked his idea.
...
Toadette climbed up a tree, and looked around for a sign of an enemy anywhere. She opened her backpack, that every person had at the beginning. Inside, she found a loaf of bread, a knife, and a blanket. She smiled, and ripped off a piece of bread.
'TOADETTE?'.
Toadette recognized the voice immediately.
'Toad?' she said, jumping down from the tree with her backpack.
Toad hugged Toadette, and they began talking.
'What's in your backpack?' Toadette asked.
'A gun, two pieces of ham, and a blanket' he said.
Toadette nodded. Then she saw a movement in the bushes. There is the sound of a string, and Toadette sees an arrow shooting towards Toad.
'Watch out!' she screamed.
Toad turned around. The arrow thumped into his chest, making a sickening sound. Toadette screamed silently. Toad fell to the ground.
NUMBER 6: TOAD - DEAD
Toadette saw the figure walk out of the bushes, and aim a crossbow at her. It was Goombella. Toadette turned, dropping her backpack, and ran. She ran through the arena, away from Goombella. Goombella laughed, and picked up Toadette's backpack. But as she turned, a knife went through her head, killing her instantly. She fell to the ground.
NUMBER 11: GOOMBELLA - DEAD
Goombella's killer was Ludwig. Wendy came out from behind a tree, shaking.
'I done it...' said Ludwig. 'I killed her...'.
Wendy picked up Toadette's and Goombella's backpacks and the two walked into the forest.
...
