I hate the random thingy chooser I've been using.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO PICK MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER?!

'Well, it's almost the final eight!' Claudius Templesmith smiles.

Caesar Flickerman laughs. 'Yes, you are correct! I can't wait to see what happens next!'

'I thought Velon was a goner for sure!' Claudius mentions.

'She's a survivor, that one!' Caesar replies, his white teeth gleaming. 'But I think today is getting a little boring, right? No fights at all!'

Claudius nods. 'The Lion pack aren't quite motivated.'

'I think it's time for a little action, don't you?' Caesar asks rhetorically.

The mountain is shown on-screen.

It looks normal.

Then there's a loud bang and rocks and ash fly everywhere.

Lava explodes out of the top of the mountain, blowing off the peak.

Sparkle, Beau and Andromeda are shown.

'Um, what the hell was that noise?' Sparkle demands. Andromeda shrugs. 'How am I s'posed to know?'

Sparkle rolls her eyes and takes her bow off her back.

'Well, I'm sure it'll send some of our competitors this way.' she says.

The mountain is shown again.

Lava is flowing down its side fast and a thick cloud of ash is in the sky above it.

Now Levi is shown.

She's looking up at the mountain in terror and quickly packs her stuff into her bag, with the exception of her axe which she holds.

She starts to run in the general direction of the ruined city.

Her speed has been unfazed by her fall from the mountain two days before, and she's little more than a dot in about a minute.

Velon is running, clutching her dagger in her left hand.

She's going through the forest, making quite a lot of noise.

The ash is making her cough, and pretty soon she won't be able to run anymore.

As the youngest tribute left, she's quite popular with the Capitol. Most of them probably hope she'll win, or they're mourning her death right about now.

Mourning, because it's just been revealed that she's being chased by the Lions, who have obviously heard her running.

Sparkle aims her bow nicely and lets an arrow fly.

It hits Velon in the back of her shoulder.

She lets out a small yelp and grabs at the fletching of the arrow.

It's buried deep in the flesh, stuck under her shoulder blade.

Sparkle laughs maniacally. Velon is trying to pull the arrow out of her shoulder, dropping her dagger.

Her shoulder is bleeding heavily.

'Thanks for the dagger.' Andromeda says, picking up the dropped weapon.

They run, leaving Velon to suffer.

She can't run anymore, and falls back against a tree.

Lava from the volcano has started a forest fire. It burns quickly.

Now Aricula and Kai are being shown.

Aricula is unable to run, collapsed on the ground from the bear venom.

The blue colour has spread down to her hand and up to her neck.

Kai hears the fire crackling and picks up Aricula. He starts to run away, towards the plains in between the forest and the city.

Wow. It seems that nobody's realised that the lava might spread to there as well.

But the Gamemakers probably have no intention of making this a quick Hunger Games, so it might not have.

Velon is being focused on again.

She's managed to stand up and start walking slowly, but she's gone pale from blood loss and the forest is ablaze in every direction.

'Levi!' she calls. 'Aricula! Azure! Somebody! Anybody! Please help me!'

Velon starts to cry in desperation. 'I refuse to die! Not here! Not like this!'

Her voice is hoarse from smoke and yelling, and her clothes are soaked in blood.

She breathes heavily.

'Goodbye, Panem.' Velon says quietly.

Then she collapses and lets the flames engulf her.

Kai is getting tired quickly.

'Aricula, can you run?'

Aricula winces in pain occasionally. 'No...' she says weakly. 'I don't need your help...'

A cannon fires.

'Aricula!' Kai yells.

'I'm okay!' Aricula says feebly.

Kai stops running and starts to walk instead.

'I can't run anymore.' he explains.

They've finally reached the plains.

It's not long before the other Lions emerge from the forest not far from them.

Andromeda is giving Kai a deluxe death stare and whispers to Sparkle, who aims her bow at Aricula.

She misses her, but hits Kai's head.

Kai winces and drops Aricula.

Andromeda starts to advance towards them with her trident, but a swish of white hair and a heavy, metal axe stop her.

Aricula laughs feebly, as the owner of the axe was too quick for the Lions to register.

Levi turns, still holding her axe, and winks at Aricula.

Then she swings again and it's embedded in Beau's shoulder.

Sparkle tries to shoot Levi, but Levi and her axe are gone before you can say Capitol.

Andromeda and Sparkle look at each other and advance toward Aricula, leaving their teammates sprawled on the ground.

'So, District Five.' Sparkle starts. She's still the boss, no questions asked.

Aricula starts to move back. 'What do you want?'

Sparkle laughs. 'Oh, we won't hurt you. Andromeda, the trident.'

Andromeda doesn't move.

'Annie. The trident. Now.' Sparkle demands. Andromeda shrugs. 'From the looks of things, she's on Death's doorstep anyways. And if Kai and Beau do die, it'll just be the five of us. So. I guess we can leave her.' she says

Sparkle shakes her head. 'That isn't how it works.'

'It is in my book.' Andromeda replies and casually stabs her in the chest.

Sparkle's shocked for a second, before starting to cough up blood.

She collapses quite quickly.

Beau's cannon fires, followed by another. 'Kai?' Aricula looks around.

'He's more my concern than yours, sweetie.' Andromeda says with a voice full of mock sweetness.

One more cannon fires.

'You can live for now. But only because I have bigger concerns.' Andromeda says to Aricula. Then she turns and runs off.
