The Sixth Annual Hunger Games
Introduction
First Lady/Head Gamemaker Lima Strombay took a year off from the Games, as she was pregnant with President Narciso's child. Their son, Malfos Ajax Sombray, would be born 2 months after the Games ended. Replacing her for a year was her right hand man, Vulcan Trobera. He liked bloody fights and mass natural deaths, and he planned to make this arena especially painful; an earthquake shaken plain. Boliviana returned again as the host. The tributes were average again, no one scoring higher than a 7, with a single exception; the boy from 1 earned a 9. Here are the tributes:
District 1: Laia Dreen, 15 (6) 27-1 and Guild Tonneroy, 18 (9) 5-1
District 2: Dora Lays, 13 (2) 67-1 and Taj Guru, 16 (7) 12-1

The Games
The arena was one large, flat prairie with just tall grass and a few hills. Rivers and ponds dotted the north and east, where bison grazed and coyotes frolicked, and a small oak forest lined the west, filled with various game like deer and turkey. To the south, a large chasm dug deep into the ground. The Cornucopia sat in the center of the hot, drying prairie, supplies strewn about. The one twist tributes did not know about was that the arena would soon be torn asunder by fierce earthquakes.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The tributes burst forward. There would be 6 deaths at the bloodbath today.
Kinnlo was the first to arrive, and he picked up a pitchfork, spinning around and shoving it in the nearest tribute, killing her.
Dora Lays, District 2 Female; 24th, Killed by Kinnlo, Bloodbath
Meanwhile, Guild picked up a set of twin katanas, his favored weapon, and spotted an alliance of two running away with a bow and stocked quiver, among other things, in hand. He hacked both of them apart.
Borisa Cadvina, District 6 Female; 23rd, Killed by Guild, Bloodbath
Kipa Lerto, District 5 Female; 22nd, Killed by Guild, Bloodbath
Taj picked up a mace after getting a large pack and swung it down on the nearest tribute.
Draye Fomon, District 10 Male; 21st, Killed by Taj, Bloodbath
Guild made his next kill; a small girl who was hiding inside the Cornucopia.
Daisy Foynn, District 8 Female; 20th, Killed by Guild, Bloodbath
Taj made the final kill on his way out. A girl tried to tackle him from behind and stab him with a sickle. He whirled and crushed her head with his mace.
Fiera Saray, District 9 Female; 19th, Killed by Taj, Bloodbath
The Bloodbath officially concluded, with all the tributes dashing away from each other into the amber waves of prairie grass. Day 2 would pass without deaths, but Day 3 would have a whopping 4 deaths.
This was because Day 3, the first of four large earthquake wrought destruction upon the arena. The entire southern quadrant of the arena was shaken, and rock was torn from rock. Two tributes fell into newly opened chasms, while two others were crushed by debris.
Zech Stroak, District 5 Male; 18th, Crushed by debris, Day 3
Corus Bleis, District 3 Male; 17th, Fallen into chasm, Day 3
Norman Less, District 12 Male; 16th, Fallen into chasm, Day 3
Bobbie Witt, District 9 Male; 15th, Crushed by debris, Day 3
Days 4 and 5 were deathless. Day 6, a single kill was made by Guild. He found a little girl, sincerely at home deep in the small oak forest. He put his katanas through her sleeping form.
Fawn Lilette, District 7 Female; 14th, Killed by Guild, Day 6
Day 7 had two kills. Another earthquake, this time in the east, killed two people by way of falling/flying debris.
Hattie Deodat, District 12 Female; 13th, Crushed by debris, Day 7
Nathenn Tortego, District 6 Male; 12th, Crushed by debris, Day 7
Day 8 was deathless. Day 9 had a single kill. Delissie found a very skinny, nearly emaciated boy and shoved her butcher's knife into his neck.
Gonn Ventlis, District 4 Male; 11th, Killed by Delissie, Day 9
Days 10, 11, and 12 were deathless. Day 13 had the third earthquake to the north, killing two people, one by falling into a chasm, one from debris, and narrowing it down to the Top/Final 8.
Javier Rune, District 8 Male; 10th, Crushed by debris, Day 13
Merisela Damem, District 3 Female; 9th, Fallen into chasm, Day 13
The Final 8 was finalized: Laia Dreen, District 1, Guild Tonneroy, District 1, Taj Guru, District 2, Serla Tayle, District 4, Rhys Jackman, District 7, Delissie Ri, District 10, Tonia Ryletto, District 11, and Kinnlo Washress, District 11.
Day 14 was deathless. Day 15, a single kill was made. Rhys found a girl drinking from a stream, and he tried to cleave off her head. She swerved and retaliated, chopping at him with her big butcher's knife, but he soon made an end to her, axing off her head in ten minutes.
Delissie Ri, District 10 Female; 8th, Killed by Rhys, Day 15
Day 16, the last earthquake came, in the west. It killed a single girl, the only one in that area at that time.
Tonia Ryletto, District 11 Female; 7th, Crushed by debris, Day 16
Day 17, the final 6 were all pushed together at the center. Head Gamemaker Vulcan wanted to see an especially bloody final fight, and he would have it with these 6 tributes.
The first to fall was a strong, axe wielding boy. He was claimed by the katanas of Guild.
Rhys Jackman, District 7 Male; 6th, Killed by Guild, Day 17
Serla and Kinnlo faced off; so did Taj, Guild, and Laia. Guild and Taj teamed up to take out the girl with a dagger trying to stab them. Her head was swiftly chopped off by Guild's katanas after Taj had rendered her unconscious with his mace.
Laia Dreen, District 1 Female; 5th, Killed by Taj and Guild, Day 17
Now we had the pairs of two, facing off and cleaving into each other with their weapons. Blood drizzled over the bodies off all 4 opponents and covered all of their weapons.
The first to fall was a strong boy. His pitchfork was whacked away, and the final girl left, Serla, shoved her long, serrated spear into his stomach.
Kinnlo Washress, District 11 Male; 4th, Killed by Serla, Day 17
While Serla reveled in her victory, Taj quickly whirled from his battle and swiftly beat her senseless. She bled out as Taj and Guild neared the end of their epic fight.
Serla Tayle, District 4 Female; 3rd, Killed by Taj, Day 17
Mace against katana, District 1 against District 2, boy against boy. The two strongest tributes fought hard and long, and eventually one triumphed over the other. Katana knocked away mace, District 1 killed District 2, and boy slaughtered boy. Taj screamed as Guild's katana sliced through his abdomen, the tip of the sword sticking out of his back. He swiftly died.
Taj Guru, District 2 Male; 2nd, Killed by Guild, Day 17
"Guild Tonneroy of District 1, you are the Victor of the Sixth Annual Hunger Games!" Boliviana's voice echoed across the broken, debris strewn prairie. Guild cheered, pumping his fists, trying not to look at the five bloody forms of his fellow tributes that lay, lifeless, around him.
Aftermath
Guild was the first of the a good deal of flashy and eye catching Victors from District 1. He would Mentor dozens, including Careers, and several would win. He would marry a rich Capitol socialite and have a son with her. He would die at age 58 soon after the 45th Hunger Games from lung cancer. He would turn to smoking and drinking to quiet his demons from the Games.
Guild, along with the Matthews family, would help found the first Academy, in District 1, and spark a revolution in the Games that would stretch even to the 500th Hunger Games; Careers. He would work as a trainer at the Academy and was on the board that selected which kids would volunteer from the Academy each year until his death.
Payouts weren't very large from betting, as almost half of the bets were on him.
His Victory Tour was great, as he was attractive and TV-ready and Panem ate him up. The Capitol also loved District 1 tributes, as they were the most similar to themselves and they liked that.
Victor's News
Guild moves into the Victor's Village of District 1.
Ishania becomes engaged to lumberjack Harris Wilerd.
