The games chapter 11
In a completely white room, there sat a boy in a chair, sleeping peacefully. He had spiky blonde hair and his eyes were shielded by this eyelashes and eyelids. The boy was behind a Plexiglas. Standing in front of the Plexiglas, a girl with short blue hair and blue eyes looked at the boy.
"Ventus, I'm sorry I let him do this, now you're stuck in a coma it's my entire fault." She whispered.
"No it isn't, Aqua."
The blue haired girl widened her eyes and pressed her palms against the glass, "Ventus was that you?"
"Just barely."
Said girl, Aqua turned around and locked eyes with a pair of blue ones. "You couldn't have done anything. You guys were in the Hunger Games and Vanitas caught you off guard." A man with a built shape and brown hair announced.
"Terra, I could've protected him, now look where he is. What if he never wakes up?"
Said man, Terra only sighed and looked at a nearby TV of tributes. "He will, after all, he is the uncle of Sora and Roxas. I have a feeling he'll wake up just in time for their victory."
Aqua looked down at her hand and smiled at the star charm she clutched. She gave each to Terra and Ventus before, they entered the Hunger Games. She's glad the three of them made it out, but that only happened because of a rebellion.
"Terra, do you think Vanitas is still alive?"
The brunette frowned and stared at the ground, "I wouldn't say he isn't. I didn't seem anymore him in the Hunger Games, but we didn't see his sneak attack when we thought he was dead."

The gang were on their feet by the next day; Namine still dazed by her nightmare, Axel damaged by the death of Xion, Roxas pondering over Namine's words last night, Riku coming up with a plan, lastly, Kairi and Sora who seemed to be developing a relationship.
They stopped in front of a video game store and decided to rest there. "Okay, so let's start planning, we have to be on our game before them," Riku stated. Namine sat on the register counter and looked at him. "Alright spill. You are a Career aren't you? What do you know?" Riku sighed, "Well aside from the fact that they want a fight at the Cornucopia their recruiting,"
"No duh Sherlock, tells us more, things that might actually help us live." Axel said.
"You don't get it, they want to use all those people their recruiting. I heard they made an alliance with the Head Gamemaker, Joshua. It's kind of like they cheated. Once we all fight, they mainly only wanna kill us so when it's just Tidus and Selphie standing, they'll have the victory." Riku announced.
Kairi narrowed her eyes, "How do we know you're not gonna turn you're back on us and kill us?" The silver haired male sighed, "I already told you, I was coming to collect Rinoa. They would've noticed I'm gone by how long it's taken me, unless they don't care."
It was silent before Sora coughed. "Okay, I kind of trust Riku. What tribute would make his way over here just to spill secrets about the Careers? Pretty risky I would know, I'm one myself."
Kairi crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Fine, you can help us. When do you think they would want to have the battle?" That question stumped Riku so Namine decided to answer. "Tomorrow night."
Roxas frowned, "How would you know?"
"I don't but, it makes sense that they would want to make the games more interesting. Obviously, if their making an alliance with Joshua, he must've told them to make the games more exciting. Why not have a bloody battle on the Cornucopia at night? It makes sense in a way and they'll probably have all of the recruits." Namine explained.
Axel suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Hey Riku, do you know who they're recruiting?"
Riku scratched the base of his neck. "From what they told me; Neku, Rikku, Cloud, and Squall. They wanted Shiki but she's dead." Sora frowned, "And what about us? What about Beat, Rhyme and Rinoa?"
"Beat is dead. I think they're looking for Rinoa, either that or they're using her to get to Squall." Unbeknownst to Riku he got it right off the dot. Namine rubbed her chin, "Then we need to get Rhyme and Rinoa, it might make things even, if we do that, they'll be outnumbered."
Roxas gave a nod of his head and smiled, "Good plan Namine. She's right, if they recruit, so will we." Axel shook his head and stuck a hand out. "Wait, wait, wait, isn't Rhyme with Neku? Who's to say they'll split up that easily?"
Kairi thought for a minute before smiling, "Then we have to get to Rhyme and Neku first." Riku smirked, "Sounds like a plan. I guess were waiting for tomorrow night, now let's start searching for Neku and Rhyme." The six gave a nod and exited the game store.

Rhyme ran at the next creature panting heavily as she held onto Beat's hatchet. Beat, it was all she thought about in her mind. She has to avenge his death, no she will. "Neku, how you holding up?" She asked swiping the head off a zombie.
"Well I'm still alive."
Rhyme chuckled and gave a roundhouse kick, swiping the zombie in half by the abdomen. Suddenly all of the creatures disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Ah where is dearest Shiki and Beat I see their not here." Rhyme felt her blood run cold as she heard that voice.
"Joshua…"
Neku stood next to Rhyme and tensed beside her. "What do you want Joshua? Haven't you dropped by enough?" Joshua only chuckled, "I've come to talk to the girl in private." The orange haired teen was about to say something, when Rhyme gave a nod. "Okay."
Joshua smiled and took Rhyme's hand, leading her away from Neku. "What is it Joshua?" She asked confused. "Oh dearest Rhyme, I have some very saddened news," The blonde frowned and motioned for him to continue.
"President Xemnas wishes for me to kill you, then to kill myself."
Rhyme widened her eyes and held onto Joshua's arms, "B-but you can't! Hasn't he seen enough deaths already?" Tears threatened to fall but she held them back. "What about Neku? I can't leave him here," Joshua chuckled, "Always worrying about someone else I see, relax Rhyme."
"How can I relax when you're supposed to kill me?"
Joshua caressed her face with one hand and secretly reached for the hatchet in with other, "Don't you wish to see Beat, you're brother?" This question stumped Rhyme as she thought about it. Of course she'd want to see Beat! But didn't want to leave Neku alone, "Yes, but…"
"No buts, I need you to come with me, do it for Beat."
Rhyme frowned, "How do I know you're not just doing it to make the games interesting?" Joshua shrugged, "I'm not doing it, Xemnas is." The blonde stared into his eyes; trying to find any lie, she didn't, and sighed, "Will I really see him?" Joshua gave a nod and tossed the hatchet aside, "Come with me, so the deed can be done. Xemnas originally requests of an Engraver to kill you, but I have something else in mind."
"Rhyme are you actually gonna do this?"
The blonde turned around to come face to face with he partner. "Neku, I have too. This might even save you're life too, I'll be able to see Beat and Shiki!" Rhyme suddenly frowned and smiled, "You can come with me!"
"Yeah, about that, Rhyme only you can come." Joshua said.
"But I don't wanna leave him alone!" Neku sighed and shook his head, "No, if you really want to go Rhyme, then go ahead. I'll be fine." Rhyme looked into his blue eyes, "Are you sure?" Neku smirked and surprisingly, wrapped his arms around her, "Yeah, say hello to Shiki and Beat for me."
Rhyme gave a nod and smiled, "Don't worry, I will." They broke apart and she grabbed Joshua's hand. "Well, if you wanna do this, then let's go." The blonde haired male nodded and glanced at Neku. "I'll see you again."
Neku smirked, "I'll count on it."
With a deep breath, Rhyme nodded at Joshua and the two were no longer in sight. Neku only stared at the spot they once were and silently walked away. A canon sounded and Neku wondered if it was for Rhyme.

Selphie, Rikku, Yuna, Tidus and Rinoa walked throughout the streets of Shibuya. They heard a canon sound and Selphie narrowed her eyes, "Another death, thirteen of us. I hope it's not someone we need." Rinoa only sighed and stared at the ground. This was pure torture, if only she can disappear; away from here and away from…Panem.
She still had her daggers, maybe…"Whoa, what happened here?" Tidus asked as they stopped at a pile of ashes of what used to be a store. "Looks like it blew up or something." Rikku muttered.
Yuna stared at the ashes and suddenly went in a daze, suddenly she saw what happened.
"No Beat! My brother's in there, Neku put me down!" The blonde shouted.
Neku didn't listen as he continued to run. They were almost out of the store when a big explosion erupted from the store. Fire burst out and the two hit the ground. Neku covered Rhyme with his arms as debris fell on them.
"I know what happened. There was an explosion, Neku and Rhyme almost got caught in it." Yuna announced.
Selphie narrowed her eyes, "How would you know?"
"I saw it."
A loud scream emitted from the ground and the group jumped back. Rinoa stared in horror at what emerged from the concrete and gasped when she saw the Engravers. They were in inhuman positions; all of them looked like real humans, some even children! "Alright, come on guys let's show em who's boss!" Selphie shouted gripping her knife.
Rinoa held onto her daggers but stopped when she saw Yuna walk to the center, in-between the Engravers and Careers. "Death comes in twos right Rikku?" She asked as she threw her head back and laughed.
Rikku watched her cousin in horror as she held a sword and walked toward the blonde. Blood began pouring from her clothes as she gave a sinister grin. "Y-you're not Yuna," She whispered.
"So the cat got out of the bag huh?" She asked showing her arm. There, engraved in her arm were the words 'Property of Panem'. The blonde glared and gripped her twin blades. "I love you Yuna, but the dead stays dead!" She shouted rushing at her cousin.
All hell broke lose as the battle began. Rinoa stepped back and suddenly was struck with an idea. Now she can escape! She noticed Selphie pinned down on the ground and she almost rushed over to help, almost. Since it wasn't her personality to watch others die, she threw a dagger at the Engraver, straight through the head.
Selphie stood up and looked Rinoa in the eye. "Thanks for saving my life." The black haired girl only gave a nod and stood back to back with her. "What do you say? You wanna join us?" Selphie asked.
Rinoa smirked, she had a plan forming in her head, "Yeah, I'll join." With that said, they rushed into battle.

Joshua and Rhyme stood together in President Xemnas room. The president himself sat at the desk with his hands folded. Both teens had a dusk berry in their hands and were surrounded by a camera crew.
"Alright, say you're goodbyes, embrace and eat the berries when I say 'go.' And 'go'!" Xemnas ordered.
Joshua wrapped his arms around Rhyme's waist and sadly smiled. "Are you ready to go Rhyme? It'll be the last time you'll see Panem." The blonde gave a nod, "I'm ready to see Beat and Shiki, you won't leave me right? Once we die?"
Joshua smiled, "Don't worry; I'm sorry I put you through this Rhyme, but we'll both see each other I promise."With that said he tipped her head and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.
They broke apart and Joshua smirked, "Oh and Xemnas, one more thing," He faced the President in the eye. "I'm tired of being under you're clutches, I hope the Capitol burns in hell!" With that both teens placed the berries in their mouths.
Rhyme and Joshua only saw darkness as their cold bodies fell to the ground, hands entwined and eyes closed. If Joshua was gonna die on screen, he would die with a bang. Xemnas was seething with rage and growled, "Get these worthless peasants out of my sight!"
He watched on as the camera crew took Rhyme and Joshua out of his office. On the TV screen, he noticed listened to the anthem and the faces of the dead tribute or tribute. For fun, he decided to add Joshua's name too.
Rhyme "Raimu" Bito-District 11
Joshua- Head Gamemaker
May the odds be ever in you're favor!
