A/N: I giveth thee... THE FINALE!

Sorry it's really short, but it's very action-packed.

(Language warning)

No POV (Wouldn't want you to know which one of them dies, would we? ;))

"Attention, tributes of the 225th Hunger Games. As you probably should have guessed from the 74th games, the rule change has been revoked. Only one victor can be crowned. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor."

The announcement seems to hit both of them hard. They look shocked for a moment, before they realize that they each now have the opportunity to kill the other. Aiden takes on a malicious grin, while Alicia looks startled for a minute, then smirks.

"They're right," Alicia says. "We really should have seen this coming."

"Oh, I did see it coming," Aiden says. "Remember before you and Riley fought, I wanted to know who would be my last kill?"

"I'm choosing to believe you had a momentarily slip-up."

"I always wanted this to be how it ended," Aiden says. "From the minute you turned us down, I wanted to be in the final 2 with you. Now, I can kill you my way and no one interferes."

"You know," Alicia says, pulling out her sword. "There's a reason I didn't want to join your alliance."

Aiden draws his own sword. "And that is?"

"You're all arrogant as fuck."

They begin an all out battle. Aiden slashes at Alicia's chest, but she deflects it. Alicia tries to stab his throat, but he rolls away. Aiden tries to disarm her, but she pulls her blade away. She tries disarming him, and instead, he takes the blade out of her hand, and leaves it on the ground.

Aiden still has his sword, but Alicia doesn't. She doesn't get another blade from her belt, but puts her arms up to protect her head.

"Alright," she says. "You win. Just make it quick."

Aiden slashes his sword all the way across Alicia's midriff. She falls over in pain and Aiden comes over and kneels down on her waist, pulling a knife from his boot. He poises the knife just above her throat, ready to cut it open at a moment's notice.

"This is how it ends for you," he says. "Any last words?"

"Eat shit," she whispers. Suddenly, she reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out a dagger. Before Aiden has time to react, Alicia stabs him in the temple, twists the knife and pulls it out.

"Tie breaker," Aiden whispers. "I had 5... you have 6. You... win."

Boom.

Once Aiden's cannon goes off, Alicia uses the sleeve of her jacket to wipe the blood off of her knife. She then sits down next to Aiden's head and repeats the gesture she did to Margaret not long ago. She puts the first two fingers of her right hand to her lips, then touches her fingers to his forehead, then closes his eyes.

"You know," she says to his corpse. "I had to admire your spirit."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victor of the 225th Hunger Games, Alicia Schripe of District 5!"

Eulogies

Aiden: *Sings* I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAAAAAAY. You were honestly one of my favorites. I know I probably should've killed you a while ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, you know? Sigh. Even though most people hated you, I'LL miss you, and that's what matters.
