Hey guys this is my new story based off of the Hunger Games! I know that the stylists are supposed to be with the tributes and their supposed to be in their own Launch room but I made it a little different. Instead, the mentors are with the tributes and they share the same Launch Room, although the tribute tube is a good enough distance. By the way, I know only one male and female are supposed to be reaped but I changed it so that it could be 2 of the same gender or not.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You or the Hunger Games concept, hope you enjoy it! No flames!

There's no turning back

Irvine smirked at his students and slouched. "Now you kids have been training for years for this moment to come. Y'all better come out alive, at least one of you." With a southern accent. Selphie giggled, "Ok, and you better not be drunk next time, stay sober."

Tidus let out a howling laugh, "The chick's right! It's amazing how you taught us you're best skills." Irvine rolled his eyes and tugged on his hat. "Now, you two are ordered to make a deal with the twins."

Selphie frowned, "The District 12 twins, or the District 2 twins?"

"District 2,"

Selphie let out a sigh of relief, "Good or I would've had a heart attack. There's no way they can win! We've been preparing for this there's no way we'll lose!" Tidus smirked, "That's right! So we just kill the twins after when it comes to just us?"

Irvine gave a nod. "Yup, if it's you two as leftovers, ya'll just have to decide on ya own." The teens glanced at each other with nervous glances. "Selphie, I want you to win."

The brunette shook her head, "No, you deserve it more than me!" Irvine sighed, "Well ya can decide that later on when the time comes, for now just focus on that Cornucopia. I say you eliminate the poor districts first; 12-5. That just leaves the Careers."

Tidus grinned. "I like the sound of that!" Selphie did a fist pump in the air and cheered. The Peacekeepers came and gave a nod.

"That's you're cue, go on and continue the reputation of District one." The tributes excitedly ran into the tubes and looked up in determination. Irvine shook his head and watched, they sure were something, although he had some doubt that they wouldn't make it.

The two of them stood staring at their mentor, Saix. "You two better win. If it comes down to you two," He stared at them in the eye and made his decision, "I want Sora to kill you, Roxas."

The twins widened their eyes and stared at each other. "I won't-," Roxas covered his brother's mouth. "Don't Sora, follow orders. You have a better chance in winning anyway."

The brunette stared at the blonde with wide eyes, "Roxas, what are you-,"

"Do what he says Sora."

Saix smirked and gave a nod of approval. "That's what I like to hear. Now remember no mercy, run straight to the Cornucopia and don't hesitate. You two come from District 2 keep up the reputation."

Roxas only ignored his mentor's words, considering how he heard of the rules already. He couldn't believe Saix wanted him dead! Did he really not have a chance in winning? Did Saix give up his hope already? He only shrugged it away, it's not like anyone would miss him.

But then again he should've seen it coming. Sora was the favorite; Roxas was just the problem child. The audience would be happy to see their favorite spiky haired brunette anyway, not blonde. He didn't even say much to begin with!

"Okay Roxas? I know you and you're innocent ways. You need to be more brutal and stone, like Sora here."

The blonde gave and nod and turned away to roll his eyes. Sora wasn't even brutal, nor was he stone. He only pretended to do that on the outside, in the inside he was this goofy, happy go lucky kid.

The Peacekeepers arrived and signaled the teens to enter the tube. Saix looked at his students with those menacing gold eyes; a message clear. 'Don't give up on me, remember no mercy.'

Sora stared at his brother and mouthed the words 'Good luck.' Roxas gave a nod, 'you too.' The blonde looked up as he rose to his awaited death.

Ansem stared down at the tributes with expectant eyes. "I shall see you two in a week, or one of you." He chuckled and looked at Riku, "I want you to come out instead of her." He pointed at Olette who looked down.

The silver headed teen frowned and put his hand out in front of Olette protectively, "I won't kill her." Ansem smirked, "You won't need to, she won't have a chance." Riku growled but Olette stopped him.

"Stop, he's right. You should have the victory; you're more…popular than me. I won't have the chance."

"Enough with that! You're way smarter than me; you can probably build a helicopter out of wood!" Olette chuckled, "I highly believe that's impossible."

"Cut the sap and stay focused and no soft side."

Olette sighed and gave a nod, "I'll try my best master. Please have faith in me!" Ansem smirked, "Hmph, we'll see who comes out." Riku rolled his eyes. "It won't be me for sure." The golden eyed male glared at the teen, "Why so doubtful?"

"Don't doubt her skills! For all we know she might be the winner!" Ansem sighed and stared at Olette, who looked up with hopeful green eyes. "Don't fail me, I expect you to at least eliminate one tribute." Riku glared. "She doesn't-,"

"It's true; I need to be more aggressive, thanks for sticking up for me though." The silver headed teen gave a nod, "Don't be someone you're not." The tubes opened waiting to have a tribute enter.

"Well you know what to do. Olette stay with Riku if you want to live. Riku…I don't even need to say anything to you, I believe you will not fail me." Ansem stated as he watched his students walk in the launch tube.

Riku and Olette faced each other as they gave a nod and rose up to the arena. Going by Ansem's rules or not, Riku will make sure Olette wins.

Hayner and Pence decided to have one last Sea Salt ice cream before their deaths. Xigbar chuckled, "You're the only ones that I know that would want ice cream before going into an arena with 22 other tributes, who are trying to kill you."

Pence shrugged, "We should always try to live life to its fullest no matter what the case is. Were just trying pretending were not going into an arena." Hayner gave a nod, "Amen to that!"

"You're about to be launched into an arena!" Xigbar stated. The two teens glanced at each other and shrugged. "You know what? You're not like the other mentors, you're more like an uncle, how about…Uncle Xigbar?" Hayner suggested.

"Yeah! That fits!" The man with the eye patch only face-palmed, "Ugh, whatever, I guess I'm supposed to give you a pep talk or something? Uh…how about this?" The teens watched him while licking their ice creams.

"I know you're Careers but I want you two to stick together-,"

Pence grinned, "You don't need to tell me twice! That's my buddy!" He slung an arm around Hayner who groaned. "No sap! Please?" Xigbar rolled his eyes, "Don't interrupt! As I was saying, run to a backpack, and wait for the rest of the Careers. You've all have made an alliance together right?"

The teens gave a nod. "Then this should be an easy breeze. Provide fish for them and when the time comes, start making traps with those nets, I know you're handy with that."

Hayner grinned, "We got this pops! If I don't come out alive though, well…" He suddenly grabbed Pence's arm. "I'll make sure this one those! But if were both killed-,"

"Hey none of that! Let's just hope that one or two of you, will come back." Pence frowned, "Two? What do you mean two?" The mentor smirked, "Uncle Xigbar's got his ways."

Peacekeepers arrived to signal that the good-byes were over. Pence and Hayner entered their personal launch tubes and stared at their mentor. "See ya later Uncle Xigbar!" Hayner commented as Pence waved.

Said man glared but smirked. "Aw whatever! You two really put me in a pickle!" The tributes laughed a laugh that might be their last.

"Ok guys, you may not be Careers but you're smart enough to win!" Their mentor, Yuffie stated with an enthusiastic fist pump. Larxene smirked with a mischievous glint in her jade green eyes. "You don't have to tell me twice!"

Cloud grunted rolled his eyes, "Only one tribute can win." Yuffie stared at the blonde teenager with wide eyes, "At least stay hopeful!" Cloud sighed but mumbled a small 'fine.'

Larxene waved him off, "Pay him no mind, you know we got this! With my sneaky ways and his sword experience we'll be stronger than those Careers!" She spat out the word like it was a disease.

Yuffie laughed and jumped in the air, "That's right! Show em what ya got! Remember sting like a butterfly sting like a bee! I doubt that's the expression but whatever!" Cloud sighed and ran a hand through his blonde hair, "How did I end up with these dimwits?"

The ebony haired girl glanced at Cloud and punched him in the arm, "Listen Mr. Grumpy pants, I don't care if you win or lose you stay hopeful you got it? I've heard you mention about this guy named Sephiroth or whatever his name is but you forget about him alright? You're about to go into a life or death situation with other kids trying to kill you!"

The blonde looked down and was about to say something when Larxene interrupted him, "The overexcited ninja is right, you need to stop being so isolated." Cloud rolled his eyes, "I guess your right."

Yuffie laughed in triumph, "That's the spirit!" The doors to the tube opened as Cloud and Larxene walked in. "Don't forget, about what I said! Stay innocent then release you're true selves!" Yuffie gave one last wave and watched her students go up.

"Please be okay." She whispered.

Laguna Loire looked at the tributes with sympathy in his green eyes. His son, Squall Leonhart had to go in with his girlfriend Rinoa Heartily to fight to the death in an arena. Squall refused to look at his father and remain silent.

"Now, I taught you kids everything I know, just remember this, do not create a fire in the middle of the night. The Careers will come and you'll instantly be slaughtered. If you don't have a weapon, be smart and make one out of wood- a spear or an arrow for instance."

Rinoa gave a nod and held Squall's hand. "We'll be together throughout all of this don't worry." Of course those words 'don't worry' didn't exactly work in this case.

Laguna smirked, "By the way, I hear you're rival Cloud will be one of the tributes, don't go for him first."

Squall rolled his eyes with a ghost smile on his lips, "I'll try not to." Rinoa looked at him and gave a squeeze of his hand.

Laguna then raised a finger, "Don't go to the Cornucopia, I advise you to wait a little longer. If you're in desperate need of an object there will be a feast. If the Careers hog the Cornucopia, I have a feeling you guys can take em."

Rinoa grinned and gave a thumbs up, "Of course we can! Don't lose faith in us!" The tribute tubes opened and the brunette girl faced her boyfriend. "Well, I'll see you out there."

Squall gave a nod and hugged her along with a long passionate kiss. "Guess I will." Laguna chuckled at their antics; of course he would've done the same thing. "Oh and Squall!" The male turned around to face his father.

"Don't give up so easily, I love you." Squall hesitated but gave a nod, "Love you too." He stepped into the tribute tube and locked eyes with Rinoa never breaking eye contact. That was the first time he said 'I love you' to his father, let's hope it won't be his last.

Marluxia stared down at his students, "As you know you should follow my order. If you make an alliance and he or she betrays you, eliminate the traitor." Xion shuddered; she didn't even want to think about following orders.

Axel rolled his eyes, "Yes we know, thanks for the info." The pink haired male glanced at Xion, "Don't let anyone control you; you sometimes act like a poppet."

The redhead pushed Xion behind him and glared at his mentor, "Leave my sister alone. As long as she's with me she'll be fine, got it memorized?" Marluxia rolled his eyes. "You guys should run to the Cornucopia and steal whatever you can, and then head off into the wilderness of the arena understood?"

The tributes gave a nod and Xion held her brother's hand. "I'm scared." She whispered.

Axel was about to say something, but Marluxia beat him to it. "Don't be. Fear leads to paranoia, paranoia leads to hallucinations, and hallucinations can lead to vulnerability, which leads to death."

Xion stared at him with wide crystal blue eyes and nodded slowly. "Yes, I understand."

"I think you're scaring her more than the games Marly." Axel joked. Xion slightly chuckled but was immediately silenced by Marluxia's glare. "I would like to be referred to my birth name not 'Marly'." Axel let out a howling laugh, "Woo that never gets old."

"You better hope you get that mace to protect you're sister and get her a hatchet." Xion frowned, "I can protect myself! I'm not some weakling!" Marluxia smirked, "That's what I like to hear, and you better hope that determination doesn't change."

The Peacekeepers arrive to signal that it was time to go into the Arena. Axel and Xion hugged each other before going into the tribute tube. The ebony haired girl gave a sad smile and mouthed the words 'you'll do great'. Axel nodded and did the same gesture, 'I know you're stronger than they think.' It was true, Xion's score was low, but it was only an act. It just matters if the other tributes would believe it.

Paine hugged her two best friends; something she rarely does and released them. "Now, I don't know what this Arena will be, but I know it's not the same as it was in my day, so I need you guys to be cautious of what you do understand?"

Rikku grinned and eagerly nodded, "Oh yeah! Those Careers won't stand a chance against us, right Yunie?"

Yuna looked at her cousin, pulled out of her thoughts and gave a nod, "Of course!" Paine noticed something wrong, "Thinking about Tidus huh?" The brunette girl slightly blushed and looked down.

Tidus was her best friend before he moved to District 1, when she heard that he was a tribute, her world came crashing down. She had feelings for Tidus and it'll be a waste if she has to kill him.

Rikku slung an arm around Yuna and smiled, "Aw don't worry about it! How knows? Maybe you two will be victors! Then you can have kids and-," Yuna raised a hand to interrupt her energetic cousin.

"Victors? Maybe, kids? No." Rikku chuckled, "You'd be surprised for what the future has in store for you." 'Yeah, death.' The brunette thought, but smiled none the less, "You're crazy Rikku, no wonder how I can't survive without you."

The blonde flipped her braids back in an ignorant matter, "What can I say? I'm irresistible." Paine rolled her eyes, "Ugh, idiot. But seriously, don't get involved with the Careers okay? Try you're best, even though I know this idea is horrible."

Rikku put her finger on Paine's lips, "Don't say that out loud! You can get in BIG trouble, or even worse, the gamemaker Joshua might do something to us that'll cause instant death."

Paine paled at the thought and roughly wiped Rikku's finger away. "I know, I know, but it's not helping if you're being so loud all the time!" The blonde giggled. "I'll miss annoying you Paine!"

Yuna gave a nod and hugged her mentor, "So will I." The mentor only patted their backs awkwardly and released when the Peacekeepers arrived. "Well I guess that's you're cue. Try to stay alive."

Rikku and Yuna walked into their tribute tube and gave a mock solute. "Ay aye captain!" Paine rolled her eyes as she watched her best friends go up to the Arena. "Good luck, you'll need it." She whispered.

Sanae Hanekoma smirked as he stared at Shiki giving Neku a pep talk. "…And I don't want you giving up so easily you hear me phones?" The orange haired boy only turned up the volume to his headphones (which was his tribute token). "Ok, ok I understand geez."

The brunette grinned and ruffled his hair, "Good! I'll be sure to get that blowgun!" Sanae gave a nod, "With that you'll practically be invincible, just don't use it all on one person. That's why there's 24 darts for 24 tributes, save got you and Neku of course."

Shiki giggled, "With his axe and my gun we'll be unstoppable! It's just the Arena we'll have to look out for."

Neku sighed, why couldn't this Hunger Games not exist? He would've still been with Shiki and Sanae either way. It was as if fate wanted him and Shiki to kill each other. To make it even worse, his two other best friends Beat and Rhyme were tributes too.

"Make alliances if you need too, but watch them closely." The teens gave a nod and watched the Peacekeepers enter the Launch Room. Shiki and Neku walked into the tribute tube and took one last glance at Sanae. "Oh yeah don't move before the 60 seconds unless you wanna be blown to bits!"

Neku chuckled, even if it is true Sanae still knew how to make a joke out of a death situation. He glanced at Shiki who clutched Mr. Mew who probably wouldn't come out alive during the games, that's if she comes out alive.

Two young kids stared at their mentor with pleading eyes. "Tifa, would if we don't come back?" Denzel asked. The brunette martial artist shook her head, "Don't talk like that. You will come out alive, don't think otherwise."

"7th Heaven will still be in business right?" Marlene asked. Tifa chuckled, "Of course, it's just so ridiculous that kids as young as you has to enter the Hunger Games, fighting to the death."

The 13-year olds glanced at each other wit a nervous glint in their eyes. They knew they wouldn't make it out alive. "But at least we have an advantage to being so small that we can hide anywhere!" Marlene stated trying to lift the spirits up in this room.

Denzel smiled, "Yeah that's true, we are good at climbing trees." Tifa gave a nod, "Right, I have trouble finding you guys, only to find out your hidden in the leaves." Marlene grinned, "Like in Naruto!"

Tribute tubes opened and the 13-year olds hearts began beating rapidly. Tifa hugged them both and stroked their hair. "It'll be okay, just remember what I said and you'll be out in no time."

Tifa watched them walk in the tubes and be lifted into the Arena. She hoped it would okay.

Zexion read his book as he stood in front of his students. "Ay yo teach! No last minute advice?" Beat asked. The silver haired male glanced up at the tribute and continued reading. "I have nothing to say, for I already know you'll do well."

Rhyme frowned, "Hmm, you know your pretty different then all of the other mentors." Zexion raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"Well were about to go into a game that decides our fate and you're standing here reading." The reader sighed and snapped his book shut, "You know when I went into the games I remained calm, you should do the same."

Beat scratched his head and shrugged, "That's all?"

"What else do you want me to say?"

"Good luck or something?" Zexion sighed once again and stared at the tributes, "Okay how about this? Don't be distracted and at night have a watch partner, it'll make things a whole lot easier. Rhyme's good with plants and stuff so you have you're food and if you can, team up with Neku and Shiki."

Rhyme gave a nod and smiled, "Ok understood." Peacekeepers gave the signal that it was time to go. The tributes walked into the tube and gave a thumbs up, although slightly nervous for what the gamemakers had in store for them."

Stella Nox Fleuret stared at her two daughters; Kairi and Namine. It was ironic that she was their mentor and had to teach them how to make it out of the arena alive. Their scores were high which meant they had a good chance in winning. Ever since their names were drawn from the crystal ball, the day of the reaping, Namine could not have been more frightened.

"Now, remember what I told you. Run for a backpack and try your best to get a weapon. Do not go to the Cornucopia do you understand me? Stay away from the Careers and only make alliances if you need to. I trust you girls." Stella stated.

Kairi moved away her velvet colored bangs and gave a nod. "Yes mom, we'll stay together, right Namine?"

Said girl nervously played with her blonde hair and nodded. "Of course," Stella smiled and embraced them. "You'll come out alive, I know you will."

Tears ran down Namine's cheeks as she tightened the hold on her mother. "I don't want to do this! Please don't make me!" Kairi rubbed her sister's back, "its okay Nami. We'll make it out alive."

"But only one tribute can win!" The redhead grabbed her twin's shoulders and stared into her crystal blue eyes. "I don't care if no one can win, we'll make it to the end. If you have to kill me go ahead."

Even through the determination, Namine can see Kairi's eyes water. "You guys will make it." Stella stated embracing her daughters again. Peacekeepers walked over to them and pulled their mother away.

"Mom!" Namine screamed as Peacekeepers pulled the twins towards the tribute tube. Stella struggled against them and watched her daughters go. Kairi stood in the tube next to Namine's as she watched their mother.

Stella put three fingers to her lips and brought them in the air. The twins did the same and forced themselves to turn away. The twins locked eyes and there was a clear enough message.

'Good luck, only one of us will go back to her.'
