4/1/17 - Hello everyone! April Fools day is upon us but this isn't a joke...

Anyhow, though this is an overused thing on but I'd like to announce a chronicling of all Hunger Games. Though I will not specify the amount of Hunger Games that will happen (Though it will go past 74 which is the canon amount), their will be a lot of chapters.

This story is a Semi-AU and you'll see why pretty soon (And by that, I mean 74 chapters in...) Hope you enjoy.

The Hunger Games. What is it? A competition? A battle royale? A dramatic event held on Capitol Television? The punishment for the Districts after the Dark Days and rebellion? All of the above, you could say. The Hunger Games were an event held in the Capitol the involved a lottery reaping of 2 tributes (Male and Female) from each 12 Districts where they'd be taken to the Capitol to fight to the death.

After the rebellion was crushed and the destruction of District 13, The Capitol had brought up the idea of punishment for the Districts. President Bering Snow (Not to be confused with future President Snow) had decided it would be best to create the Hunger Games concept and he announced it 2 months prior the 1 year anniversary of the end of the rebellion.

A mandatory viewing was held around the nation and tears were shed and fear was risen following the announcement. Many were outraged and Districts like 3, 8 and 12 had riots that lasted over a week. After these were subdued, the games were put into plan.

The first ever Hunger Games was very simple. At least compared to the more recent ones. The arena was a very large meadow (Small for the time) that expanded far. Though it wasn't much, that didn't matter in the long run because the first every Hunger Games were on of the most important moments in the history of Panem.

It didn't matter what the arena looked like, if their were any major alliances, what the tributes dressed up in at the chariot rides and later on, the games were a matter of life or death.

The tributes pools were mostly rigged that year. The tributes from pretty much all of the Districts had been the children of rebels. Though 2 had been aligned on the Capitols side, they sent in the children of 2 different well known rebels.

Eventually, on the anniversary of the end of the Dark Days, the first ever Hunger Games was held. The children were reaped only a day before and had been sent to the Capitol before being fed and sent into the arena for the games.

At 1:30 PM Capitol Time (CT), the pods were risen into the meadow and the arena came into view on television nation wide. A 60 second countdown began and once a silent whistle shrieked through the air, the games had officially began.

Though killing was the name of the game, many of the tributes couldn't really wrap their heads around the idea. This is why some causally jogged over to the cornucopia, some even walked. They silently picked up their supplies without talking to each other and things were going very... nice? Well, that was until Chock (District 12 Male) grabbed a spear and stabbed Wedge (District 3 Male) in the abdomen. [Wedge would be the first recorded death in the Hunger Games.]

"BOOM!" A canon shot echoed across the entire arena. Chock (18 years old and the son of an outspoken (And now dead) rebellious leader who had volunteered to head to the Capitol for the failed invasion) wasn't shaken by what he had just done. No, he was angry at the others for taking the games so lightly.

He turned around to the rest of the tributes and ordered them to run away since they still had the chance. When the didn't do that right away, he stabbed the District 3 girl as well.

He was going to win the games, he knew it himself. However, he wanted to give the other tributes (Mostly around the age of 12-14) a better chance. This included District 4 Male, Kai Barbana, aged 16. His mother had been apart of the rebellion and had commanded a smaller portion of the rebel army during the takeover of District 5.

She was gone, but he was going to make her proud and stick it to the Capitol by showing not to mess with the Districts. As the day went along, 9 tributes perished. Chock would continue hunting down tributes and after getting fairly equipped with a sword, he managed to find many of the other tributes and slayed them all. The only ones that died in which he had no involvement were the pair from District 9 who committed suicide via forcefield (Though this was intentional). Even though rebellion was mostly quiet, their were posters scene in some lower Districts that had phrases like "Freedom" and things close to that. It was scene as a symbol of freedom, however, rebellion was quelled soon after these games.

District 11 Male (13) - Injuries - 16/24 - Killed by self/District 12 Male

When the sun went down for the 1st day, many of the tributes had slowly started to give up hope or give into the idea of killing. Most of the tributes had been active that night and explored while looking for more tributes. This is how Kai came across Snag (District 7 Male). Angered at the loss of his sister, Snag asked if the two could form a small alliance until they could kill off Chock.

Kai reluctantly agreed and the two headed out for the night across the sleepy meadow. Around 6 AM (CT), Chock came across the District 10 pair along with the District 5 girl and attacked them. Though they both put up a very interesting fight, they were both killed. However, Chock would end up with a severe leg wound. As he made his way back to the cornucopia for medical supplies, he was unaware that Kai and Snag had both went to raid his base.

Realizing that he wasn't around, they both grabbed some supplies before heading away from the cornucopia. Later on as they traversed the arena (Now looking for water), they accidentally ran into District 8 female who attacked them.

Though the District 8 female was older, taller and much better in build, she ended up defeated due to the duos usage of team work. In the Capitol, this type of style was greatly admired and it is rumored that this is what kick started the idea for the careers.

Meanwhile, the District 4 female (Marina) was killed at the hands of Chock after she ran back to the cornucopia knowing that to be the only place with water. She was overpowered due to her dehydration. Not too long later, the District 6 Female (Perca) had ambushed and stabbed the District 1 girl to death. She also began to track down the boys from 4 and 7 as they had been moving around the most.

Along the way of her killing spree, She killed the District 2 male by chucking his knife into her head and later the District 12 female by throwing a rock at her. Later research had shown the the District 6 female was by far the most unstable in the arena and her mad man antics had been viewed as disturbing to the Capitol audience, though this is actually very normal now days.

As the sun began to set, the District 5 male had died of dehydration, ending the death spree on Day 2.

District 10 Male (17) - Sword to calf, died of injuries - 15/24 - Killed by District 12 Male (Chock)

District 10 Female (17) - Sword to gut - 14/24 - Killed by District 12 Male (Chock)

District 5 Female (14) - Stabbed in gut - 13/24 Killed by District 4 Male/District 7 Male (Kai/Snag)

District 2 Male (14) - Knife to skull - 8/24 - killed by District 6 Female (Perca)

District 12 Female (17) - Beaten with rock - 7/24 - Killed by District 6 Female (Perca)

District 5 Male (15) - Dehydration - 6/24 Killed by self

As the sun set once again, Kai and Snag set up camp. Chock, who had been busy hunting tributes throughout the day, came across the two and they all engaged in a brawl. Though Chock was very strong and tough while Kai and Snag both worked well together, neither of them could really gain an edge over the other. As they fought against Chock, Perca was watching with anger in her eyes.

Kai and Snag had gradually started losing ground to Chock by the time Perca rolled her eyes and came in for the attack. She immediately went to stab Chock in the back, wounding him there.

He collapsed to the ground and dropped his sword. Snag quickly picked his sword off the ground and cut into his head. The biggest threat in the games had been eliminated. Though Snag was pretty old compared to the other tributes (16) and had seen more death happen than most of them, he was shown to have been shaken by the kill.

That was before Perca swiftly threw her knife into his skull.

"SNAG! What the hell, why did you do that?!" Kai ran to his ally who was bleeding. His eyes were pale, dead. He was dead...

"Reminder. This is the Hunger Games. Hunt or be hunted. You're next!" She shouted, pushing Kai over and grabbing her weapon. She forcefully ejected it from Snags body and went in for the next kill.

However, Kai dodged the knife and stabbed her across the thigh before kicking her to the ground. Knowing she wouldn't last long anymore, he left her to sub come to her wounds. However, she had previously stolen some Capitol healing cream from the cornucopia (When she went their intending to ambush Chock) and used it to heal herself. It was her trump card.

District 12 Male (Chock) (18) - Sword to throat - 5/24 - Killed by District 7 Male (Snag)

District 7 Male (Snag) (15) - Knife to skull - 4/24 - Killed by District 6 Female (Perca)

The sun went down and things became quiet. The District 1 Male and Kai would later cross paths during the nigh and fought. The District 1 Male ended up retreating in the end though due to his starvation issues beginning to get the better of him. Not much went down between then and 9 AM.

An announcement was made.

"Greetings tributes. If you remember the tracker we placed in you, those things have an explosive device planted in them. We order the last 3 participating tributes to head to the Cornucopia area for what we will call "The finale of sorts"

The race was on! The tributes all ran as fast as they could to the center of the arena which was where the cornucopia. However, as the District 1 Male made his way to the cone shaped building, Perca (Who was hidden inside the cornucopia) threw and knife at his head, killing him. As she exited the cornucopia, she grinned at his body.

"I guess I get to go home. All that's left is 4..." She grinned upwards at the sky. She ran back into the cornucopia to keep herself hidden. Kai had been on the other side of the arena which didn't give Perca the chance to ambush her. Because of this, Perca had accidentally (And literally) backed herself against a wall.

Kai ran into the cornucopia and the two fought. Kai's technique and swiftness was his real advantage but he struggled over the unpredictable and unstableness of Perca who swung her knife wildly at the boy.

As the fight went outside of the cornucopia, Perca stabbed Kai in the stomach, pushing him back. However, she had accidentally missed his vital organs rendering the attack utterly useless. However, she didn't know this.

She began laughing, believing that she had won the games. However, with Kai still pushing through the pain, he picked up a lone sword and shoved it through her neck, killing her.

Kai jumped back and the look on his face showed he was disgusted and was afraid. However, he had won the 1st Annual Hunger Games...

Only the first...

District 1 Male (16) - Knife to head - 3/24 - Killed by District 6 Female (Perca)

District 6 Female (14) - Sword to throat - 2/24 - Killed by District 4 Male

Following Kai's victory in the 1st Annual Hunger Games, he was hailed as a hero for beating the Capitols game and proving that the District weren't to be looked down upon. Sadly, the District didn't know that the point of the games were to kill or break their children and to subdue the Districts.

Kai knew this after seeing Snag dye and later killing Perca himself. Following his games, he was very unstable and though he was a very popular victor throughout the years, he would mostly hide away from the public.

He died in 53 ADD (After Dark Days) after overdosing on the drug, Morphling.

Current Victors

1. Kai Barbana (District 4, 16)

I will try my hardest to get most of this done. I'm actually quite stocked to get to work on this since I've been planning on something like this after scrapping the original Odds are Against Us fic from last year. If you enjoyed, review if you may. Thank you and I will begin work on Chapter 2 soon. PEACE!

Edit - May 11 2017 - So if you're wondering why this one was so short, sorry. They will get longer along the way.
