by Megalor9

The tributes are submitted. The Games have begun. This year tributes will have to protect their loved ones in the arena. The Games Have started! Who will emerge victorious? You'll just have to read... We have a victory!

1. Quell announcment

The 125th Hunger Games

You can submit your own tribute. It is still open. Use the tribute form in the next chapter. This is a Games after my other story, Let the 94th Hunger Games Begin.

The Quell Announcment Head Gamemaker Mortimus Jones POV.

Trumpets blare. The Capitol anthem plays. A huge crowd has gathered just for this announcement. Oh, this is always the fun part. Even I as a Gamemaker do not know what will happen. The arena is desgined, all we need to wait for is this announcement.

"Presiding over these events, leader of Panem, Empress Paylor!" a loud announcer says, that announcer being Vitellius Templesmith. Best announcer we ever had, save for his father.

Empress Paylor walks up an isle that is not covered with Capitol citizens. Looking regal as ever. She was an ally of President Snow, and when Snow died in the rebellion, she took over, and proclaims herself Empress.

A small girl also runs onto stage behind Empress Paylor. She carries a box that holds the Quell twists for thousands of Hunger Games. That box is over a hundred years old, and stored in the most highly secured vault ever.

"Let the reading of the card begin!" Vitellius booms.

The box is opened.

"On the 25th Games, to remind the rebels it was their choice to begin war, the tributes would be voted on by the citizens of the Districts." Paylor says.

"On the 50th Games, to remind the rebels that two rebels were killed for every blow, the tribute number from every District had to be doubled." She continues.

"On the 75th Games, to remind the rebels that the strong would fall, the District tributes would be reaped from the past victors." That was the year of the rebellion.

"On the 100th Games, to remind the rebels that not only men were defeated, women were too, all of the tributes had to be female."

"And now we reach the 5th Quarter Quell. Here is the card." Paylor ponders over it for a dramatic second. "On the 125th Hunger Games, to remind the rebels that the Capitol would sever all relationships of those who opposed it, every tribute must be reaped along with a sibling up to age 18. Both siblings may win at the same time."

The wave of shock goes through the crowd. 48 tributes, including dear brothers and sisters. This will be a fun year. Especially with the arena.

So that's the Quell, prepare for a Games of epic proportions….
