'Game starting in 20 seconds.' Boomed a voice throughout the stadium. I looked over at Tay. She looked at me. I jerked my head towards the nearby hill. She nodded and jerked her head towards the chests. I nodded as well. '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Twenty second grace period.' the voice said. I ran as fast as I could towards the hill nearest me. I needed to be on high ground when Tay finished getting supplies. I watched her closely as she opened a chest and pulled out the contents. The only thing I saw her get was a bow. Good. If she has arrows we have a way to defend ourselves. She straitened up and looked around for me. I waved my arm around so she would spot me. Apparently someone else saw me as well and charged towards me. I wasn't worried. As far as I could see they were unarmed. 'Hey Tay, behind you!' I hollered. She turned around and pulled out an iron axe. In one swing she removed her body from her head. A Cannon fired and I smirked and came down from the hill. 'Nicely done.' I say, patting her on the back. 'So what did you get?' I asked her 'Uhm. A Bow, an Iron sword. Iron axe obviously and 3 mushroom stews.' She replied 'Nice haul. I'll take the sword then?' 'Yep.' She nodded and handed me the sword. 'So who do you reckon is in this?' I asked her as we began to walk away from spawn to find more chests. 'They reckon that ASFjerome and Bajancanadian are in the games today. Do you reckon we got them?' 'Maybe... Hey if they are we can show them that they aren't all that good at it huh?' I giggled.
As I said that there was a rustle in the leaves. I gripped my sword tighter and help it in front of me defensively. Tay did the same with her axe. 'I'll take this one.' I whispered. She didn't lower her axe but said 'Ok, but if there She was presumably the same age as me and was wearing a checkered shirt and very short shorts. She was shorter than Tay and I and she was holding a wooden sword. She looked completely terrified at the sight of a team who both had iron weapons. I smirked. 'See you at spawn.' I teased before charging at her and grinding my sword into her heart. She fell to the ground. I grabbed her bag and rummaged around in it. 'Mostly food but a few arrows, would you like to be the archer today?' I asked Tay without looking up. 'Nah, I've never been very good at archery.' She replied. 'Hm, ok. Chuck me the bow then.' I said, dumping the bag. On the ground and turning to the body. 'Hm, I think she raided our faction once,' I stated 'Always good to get revenge on them hey?' I said looking up at Tay again. 'Sure is. Should we be going now?' she asked me. I nodded.
(Time skip)
'Five minutes until death match.' Said the voice calmly. I turned to Tay 'Ready? All fed up? Weapons?' I asked her 'Check, check, check.' She nodded. 'I wonder how many are alive...' I mutter. 'Dunno. What do we do if we're the last ones standing?' she asked me. I think for a moment. 'I let you win last time. It's your turn.' She put her hands on her hips 'No, I let you win last time.' She argued. 'Let's not argue. We want to win this remember?' 'Fine.' 'Let's go through what we have.' I suggest. 'Sure.' I pull the pack off of my back and rummage through it 'You know what. Let's not. There isn't much point anyway. We lose everything but our weapons don't we?' she shrugged 'True.'
For the next few minutes we stood chatting about what was going on with Team Crafted and how we could improve our faction if we won. We were teleported to the spawn area. 'Shit...' I muttered. I was in between Jerome and Mitch. Jerome had a diamond axe and Mitch had a diamond sword. I looked around for Tay. She was on the other side of Jerome. On the other side of her was a boy who- upon seeing Jerome and Mitch- looked completely terrified. I smirked at him. Tay would make easy work of him. 'Go for him first!' I yelled to her. 'As if I wasn't going to!' she laughed back. His eyes widened upon hearing this. He only had a golden sword. Despite what skydoesminecraft may say: Gold has the same attack damage as a wooden sword. I sneaked a look at Jerome. He was looking at me with interest, as if he was wondering why I wasn't terrified by the sight of him. I smirked at him. I was so going to get him. I sneaked a look at Mitch as well. He was eyeing Tay. If he thought he could kill her then he was deeply wrong. '5, 4, 3, 2, 1!' boom the voice over the stadium I ran straight forwards and away from Jerome. I was holding my Sword. He didn't know I had a bow... I turned around and fired one into his arm. He stopped and clutched his arm. 'No baca is beating me that easily!' I sneered. I took a look at Tay she had long since killed the boy and was now battling Mitch. I ran over to her and slashed him on the arm. He backed off towards Jerome. I stood next to Tay. We were both unharmed, yet they each had an injury on their arm. I smirked 'Looks like they've finally met their match.' I said through a laugh. 'We aren't finished yet!' Mitch yelled. 'Oh, shut it!' I rolled my eyes and fired an arrow into his eye. He fell to the ground. Dead. I turned to Jerome. 'Would you like to kill the fluffy Tay?' I said. I was doing my best not to crack up. 'I'd love to.' She grinned and walked up to him. With his uninjured arm he slashed her stomach. 'You'll pay for that baca!' I yelled, charging forwards. I stabbed him in the heart. He fell to the ground and I turned to Tay. I was unconcerned for him. He would just respawn in the hub. I kneeled down. 'You ok?' I asked her. 'Nope.' She replied. She was clearly in pain. 'Well I guess I win today?' I asked her casually. 'Yep.' She nodded 'Hey, pass me an arrow. This has happened before and it's not fun.' I hesitantly gave one to her 'You sure you don't want me to do it for you?' I asked her. 'No it's fine. Suicide is easy when you know that you are going to come back to life.' She laughed faintly. I looked at her. Her batman hoodie was completely torn with blood seeping through. I stood up and turned my back. 'I'd rather not watch my best friend stab herself thanks.' I said firmly. She giggled 'Ok then.' She took a deep breath. All I heard was a quiet 'Ow!' before I was teleported back to spawn. I looked around and spotted her. Her jumper looked like it had before the games started and I guess: so did I. She hugged me and said 'Good game. That's gonna help the faction heaps.' I pulled back and looked into her topaz eyes. 'It's what I do.' I shrugged. She laughed. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. It was Mitch. 'What? Come to admit that you can be beaten at Hunger Games?' I teased. 'Actually, we came to tell you that you are quite a good fighter.' He replied 'We?' I questioned. He moved out the way and I saw Jerome. I moved closer to him and punched him in the jaw. 'That's for hurting Tay.' I said and turned back to Mitch. 'So?' I asked him. I turned around to check on Tay. Yep. Fangirling as expected. I turned back to Mitch because he said 'I was going to ask you if you'd like to visit our faction? I'm sure we've got some friends who'd like to meet you.' he asked me. 'Nope, sorry. We've got some semi-noobs back at home and Aily can't handle them on her own. Try again next week. The factions called Fruitlagg.' I replied. He nodded and walked off. I turned back to Tay. 'Having fun there?' I asked her as I laughed. She was panting. 'How were you not...' she didn't finish. She just shook her head and finished with 'Semi- Noobs? Withie hasn't been a noob for a few months now.' She said. 'Well I needed an excuse to get rid of them! I'm not going anywhere with Fluffy for like, 4 months.' She shrugged and we headed towards Fruitlagg.
