THE TWENTY SEVENTH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES
"Strong as Steel"


INTRODUCTION

President Coriolanus Snow kept a firm grip on the presidency, returning for his third year. Snow made the decision to introduce a new feature into the games: parcel day. Precisely one week after the victor was crowned, hundreds of trucks filled with food and other commodities would be shipped off to the victor's district, where they would be thankfully received by the district's poor. Coriolanus told the nation that this was a reminder of the Capitol's generosity, but most people realized that it was just a ploy to embarrass the poor districts. Their starving were forced to watch as trucks filled with food and water were sent to District 2, where last year's victor hailed from. Perhaps this would make the games extra thrilling, for any outer district tribute would be willing to fight harder if victory meant quelling starvation and poverty in their district for the next few years. Estella Whited returned for her second year as Head Gamemaker. Her team of gamemakers was very similar to last year's except for one or two new people.

The careers had seven members this year, slightly more than their usual. The District 1 pair was as beautiful as always. Their boy had mastered the art of sword fighting during his years at the academy, and the way his sword whizzed and cut soundlessly through the air drove in his strength to those watching. The District 1 girl was a master archer, having the highest odds of winning out of all of the tributes. District 2 produced a formidable pair, both scoring tens and striking fear into the hearts of the outer district tributes. Their male was a muscular boy; his strength with brute force weapons like crowbars and batons earned him a ten. Their female was dangerously unpredictable, and perhaps that made her the most terrifying career of all. District 4's tributes were much better than those of the year prior, something that pleased the academy immensely. Their male's looks as well as his determined disposition caused him to stand out in the eyes of many a sponsor, the only problem being his slightly injured foot. District 4's female was of strong African American heritage, a new look for 4 and a contrast to their usual crop of brown hair and amber to blue eyes. She was able to score a cool ten with her skills with the trident and harpoon.

The careers' sixth member was the District 7 male. He was an absolute wizard with the axe. He sliced and bludgeoned and maimed his way toward a ten in training, and he astounded the other careers so much that they offered him a slot in their alliance, which he accepted. He scored the highest score outside of the career districts. The training scores outside of the career districts were remarkably high. Outside of the careers, three nines were earned. The District 7 female earned a nine via her remarkable skills with bows and axes. The two District 3 tributes earned nines as well. They were technological whizzes, and they were by far the most intelligent tributes in the games. The boy worked as a mechanical engineer back in District 3, along with his father and mother. The girl was one of the most intelligent people in District 3. They both earned nines, some of the highest scores that the technology district had ever seen. Two tributes earned eights: Cedrick from 10, who fancied the knife, and Zinnia from 11, who fancied scythes. Georgie and Annalee from 9 and Radcliffe from 11 managed to score sevens. The rest of the tributes scored between six and two in their private sessions. There were no volunteers besides the careers. Here are the tributes:

District 1: Garnet Springer, 18, (10) 7-1 and Amethyst Gemstone, 16, (10) 6-1

District 2: Reginald Basford, 16, (10) 7-1 and Claudia Seyfert, 17, (10) 8-1

District 3: Ferrian Brightsteel, 18, (9) 10-1 and Magnet Lisagor, 18, (9) 9-1

District 4: Caspian Barsony, 15, (9) 8-1 and Chloe Auguste, 16, (10) 7-1

District 5: Draex Gladnick, 14, (5) 18-1 and Kaerine Cessana, 18, (5) 17-1

District 6: Damaris Prisco, 12, (2) 70-1 and Sabryna Maguire, 16, (3) 40-1

District 7: Phoenix Bardell, 18, (10) 7-1 and Juniper Haslett, 17, (9) 10-1

District 8: Ethan Okeefe, 16, (4) 28-1 and Kellye Camacho, 16, (4) 28-1

District 9: Georgie Hyland, 14, (7) 19-1 and Annalee Hamrick, 18, (7) 16-1

District 11: Radcliffe Antonio, 17, (7) 15-1 and Zinnia Frost, 18, (8) 13-1

District 12: Bristel Pickan, 13, (5) 32-1 and Charity Burnet, 17, (5) 20-1


INTRODUCTION

Estella's newest arena was a mechanical wonderland. The cornucopia, made of rows of metal bars stacked in alternating directions like a Lincoln log house, sat nestled in a ditch in the very center of the arena. Surrounding the cornucopia, the twenty-four pedestals were made of iron. Directly north was a huge junkyard, filled with broken cars and bicycles and mountains of scrap metal that seemed to scrape the sky itself. To the east was a factory. It was made of solid, shining metal, and its smokestacks cast long shadows over the arena. Inside of the factory was a single room. It was massive, and dozens of assembly lines stretched from end to end. To the south was where the real fun was. To the south was a puzzle area. The first puzzle was a jigsaw puzzle of a scene in the fifth Hunger Games where Misty Sablone smashed Amaryll Wild to death with her own baton. Once a tribute surpassed that, they would be given a series of logic puzzles including riddles and memory challenges. There were, in total, ten different levels to the sector, and any tribute that could reach the end would be rewarded with a massive supply of weapons and survival materials. To the west was a skating rink. It was a huge valley in the ground, and a huge curved metal sheet had been bolted into the ground. Pairs of skates were provided, and any tribute could put them on and slide down into the valley atop the sheet of iron, the skates scraping soundlessly against the ground as they glided along. The arena certainly gave an edge to the District 3 tributes, and time would tell how that would turn out.

Steam sprayed out from the sides of the tribute's pedestals as they rose up into the mechanical wonderland. Everything was metal as far as they could see. When the gong rang, every single one of the twenty-four tributes surged forth to scoop up the materials strewn in and around the cornucopia. Perhaps they realized that food would be scarce in the arena, and they would be right. The bloodbath of the twenty-seventh Hunger Games would claim the lives of eleven tributes, a number that Estella was relatively pleased with.

The gong rang, and the tributes surged forth. Reginald seemed to be leading the charge at first; he was ahead of the others by a substantial amount. However, about halfway to the horn he tripped on a jagged piece of rough metal and face-planted into the ground. He tried to scramble to his feet, but he wasn't quick enough. Ferrian was on him like a hound, and he wielded a heavy metal pipe wrench. Ferrian brought down the pipe wrench, slamming it into the side of Reginald's head. Ferrian was strong and determined, and his next powerful blow dented the career's skull.

Reginald Basford, District 2 Male: 24th, Killed by Ferrian, Bloodbath

Amethyst grinned when she spotted a bow and quiver of arrows on a countertop inside of the cornucopia. Amethyst threw the quiver over her shoulder and pulled back her bowstring, aiming for a nearby girl that looked to be easy prey. Amethyst released her grasp, and the arrow sailed into the back of the girl's head. She collapsed to the ground, blood lazily oozing from the back of her head and painting her hair red.

Kellye Camacho, District 8 Female: 23rd, Killed by Amethyst, Bloodbath

After seeing his district partner make a kill, Garnet was determined to make one of his own. The career swept up a sword that sat in a cluster of gears right in front of the cornucopia's yawning mouth. Garnet spotted movement above him. He sprang to his feet and found himself face to face with a boy with a knife who was hoping to kill him and eliminate competition early. Garnet would have none of it. He stabbed his sword into the boy's chest, and it wormed its way through his body and protruded from his back.

Draex Gladnick, District 5 Male: 22nd, Killed by Garnet, Bloodbath

Magnet closed her dexterous fingers around a sledgehammer that she found on the ground about fifty yards from her pedestal. She lifted the hammer high into the air and brought it down upon the head of a nearby boy. The force of Magnet's blow was powerful, and it left a dent in his skull that lead to his swift end.

Damaris Prisco, District 6 Male: 21st, Killed by Magnet, Bloodbath

Chloe was in business when she retrieved a trident from inside of a suitcase that was hidden away inside of the cornucopia. Hands firmly grasping the cold bronze, Chloe emerged from the cornucopia's mysterious darkness and into the chaos of the bloodbath. Chloe brandished her trident and hurled it through the air. It sailed into the neck of a girl, and the three prongs speared her throat. She clawed at her throat and gurgled as blood pooled up in her mouth.

Charity Burnet, District 12 Female: 20th, Killed by Chloe, Bloodbath

If Ferrian had any aversion to killing other tributes, he didn't show it. He went in for his next kill upon a nearby girl who looked to be easy prey. Ferrian thrust forth his pipe wrench, and it slammed into her skull with great force. She collapsed to the ground with a thump, and it only took a few more blows to the head before she died from head trauma.

Sabryna Maguire, District 6 Female: 19th, Killed by Ferrian, Bloodbath

The first collaborate kill of the twenty-seventh Hunger Games was made then and there. Phoenix, the District 7 male who was thirsty to prove himself to his fellow careers, swung his axe into the waist of a weak and young boy. The sharp edge of the axe disemboweled his torso, and he fell to the ground, screaming. Then, Chloe ran over to where the boy laid thrashing on the ground and subdued him, shoving the prongs of her bronze trident into his lower abdomen.

Georgie Hyland, District 9 Male: 18th, Killed by Phoenix and Chloe, Bloodbath

Magnet made her second kill of the bloodbath with style. She swung her sledgehammer toward the left side of a girl's head. The hammer bombarded the left side of her head, but Magnet kept swinging the hammer along its path. Then, once the sledgehammer had traveled a full 180 degrees, she swung it back to the left. She repeated this process a couple of times, slamming alternating sides of the girl's head with her sledgehammer until she died.

Kaerine Cessana, District 5 Female: 17th, Killed by Magnet, Bloodbath

Phoenix made his second kill, lifting his axe in the air and bringing it down upon the head of a girl that everyone knew wouldn't survive for very long anyways. The axe split her head in half all the way down to her neck.

Annalee Hamrick, District 9 Female: 16th, Killed by Phoenix, Bloodbath

All of the outer district tributes had scampered away from the bloodbath with whatever supplies they could find. All that was left at the cornucopia was the seven careers and the two District 3 tributes. In unspoken agreement, Ferrian and Magnet dove forward and attacked the careers. Ferrian's first target was Caspian, the only career who had yet to make a single kill. Ferrian's wrench left a dent in his skull, and he fell to the ground, unable to make any coordinated movements. Magnet finished him off by slamming her sledgehammer into his upper torso, causing his lungs to sink inward.

Caspian Barsony, District 4 Male: 15th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Bloodbath

The duel between the District 3 tributes and the careers was long; it lasted nearly thirty minutes. Although the careers were strong, the gizmos were quick on their feet and stealthy. By the time that the duel ended, they had managed to knock off one more career. The fight had traveled into the junkyard at this point. Magnet picked up a broken wheel out of a pile of junk and hurled it toward Chloe's head. Chloe was knocked unconscious instantly, and she was crushed under the wheel as she slowly died.

Chloe Auguste, District 4 Female: 14th, Killed by Magnet, Bloodbath

At this point, the District 3 tributes (fittingly nicknamed 'the Brainiacs' by viewers) were beginning to grow tired. The Brainiacs didn't try to fight the pursuing careers. They simply ran and ran and ran as fast as their legs could carry them. They were fast and graceful in their movements, and they were always able to dodge whatever knife or sword or wrench or arrow was flung their way. They were agile, too. No doubt about that. By the time that the sun had dipped below the horizon, the careers just gave up. They could always pick off the Brainiacs later. The careers threw out a string of profanities before venturing back to the cornucopia to get the good-night's rest that they knew they needed.

At this point, Ferrian and Magnet were by far the most popular tributes in the eyes of the Capitol sponsors. They were kind of unspoken allies at that point, but the agreement wasn't official until around ten o'clock that night. The Braniacs delved deeper and deeper into the junkyard, all night long. At around ten o'clock, they needed to stop to rest. They settled down behind a large pile of rusty and old car chassis.

"So, I guess we're allies then?" said Ferrian, sticking out his hand for Magnet to shake.

"Yeah," Magnet replied promptly. "Allies."

Several other tributes shared the Braniacs' attraction to the junkyard sector of the arena. After all, it was a great area to be. There were tons of hiding places and lots of shadows to hide in in case a threat came along. Two other tributes—Juniper and Zinnia—ventured into the junkyard at the conclusion of the bloodbath. Juniper was the faster runner of the duo, but she had to be quiet. Because everything in the arena was metal, the quietest sound was amplified to an immense degree as it echoed around the arena like a clap of thunder. Juniper had very quiet feet, even with the added weight of her axe. She ran and ran and ran as fast as legs could carry her, hoping to get as far away from the cornucopia as possible by nightfall. Juniper found a peculiar place at the edge of the arena. In one spot, the ground appeared to drop off and create a sort of valley. The bottom of the valley was bathed with shadow. To test whether or not it would be a good hiding spot, she slid her backpack down to the bottom of the valley. It was completely hidden in darkness. Juniper rolled down into the ditch, settled for the night. She had a remarkably good start. Zinnia was slightly behind Juniper; Zinnia was a faster sprinter but needed to take breaks much more often. Zinnia eventually settled for a broken car that sat in a pile of other broken cars on the outskirts of the arena. Zinnia threw open the door and crawled inside. There were leather seats, and it was a nice place to sleep for the night. The girl took inventory of her spoils from the bloodbath. A packet of three matches, a canteen of water (empty) and a packet of dried cucumber. Trying not to think about all of the creepy crawlies that she might be sharing the car with, Zinnia used her backpack as a pillow. She lied down and fell asleep to the sound of her own breathing.

The factory to the east had a single human resident by nightfall: Tenney from 10. Tenney was delicate and graceful in her movements as she scampered soundlessly across the arena. Tenney tried to keep to the shadows most of the time, with hopes of keeping out of the watchful eyes of the stronger tributes. Her disposition was determined; she was able to keep running all through the night. She only stopped to sleep at around one o'clock in the morning, once she had reached the factory. The girl threw open the front door of the factory and walked in. She tried the light-switch, but it didn't work. It was just her and her flashlight as she set up camp in the operator's office. There was already a couch in there, which was a start. Tenney only had one supply from the cornucopia: a single throwing knife. She had managed to snatch it from under the nose of one of the careers. Tenney had managed to escape the incident alive, but not without a gash that ran from her neck to her right shoulder. She found that the office's drawer held a roll of medical gauze. Tenney gratefully unrolled the gauze and wrapped it around her arm, hoping to staunch the flow of blood and lower the risk of infection. She would have to see if she could get medicine for the wound, or else some career's blade might be the only thing to show her kinder than a horrible infection.

Those tributes that ventured into the skating rink at the conclusion of the bloodbath were certainly testing their luck, as there were not many places to hide. Regardless, two tributes took this path: Cedrick from 10 and Radcliffe from 11. Cedrick was the faster runner. He actually decided to take inventory of his backpack's contents while he was running to save time and energy later. Inside of Cedrick's backpack was a knife and a packet of rubber bands. He sighed with disappointment. That night, Cedrick found a home in the operator's booth at the skating rink. There was a little compartment in the basement for storage, and Cedrick camped out there for the night, holding his knife firmly in hand in case any predators came along. Radcliffe, though strong, wasn't a very fast runner. He only made it about halfway to the force field before night fell and he needed to rest. He slept for the night at the lowest point of the skating rink. His only possession was a half-full canteen of water that he had managed to snatch from the cornucopia.

The puzzles to the west were certainly alluring to many a tribute; two tributes travelled toward them: Ethan from 8 and Bristel from 12. Bristel was the only tribute that actually made it to the puzzles: Ethan was tired and stopped for the night about three-quarters of the way there. Bristel finally reached the first level after nearly ten hours of jogging: the jigsaw puzzle. It took him about two hours to assemble the three-hundred piece jigsaw puzzle, but the second he snapped the final piece into the puzzle the left wall opened and he travelled on to the next level: a memory puzzle. He completed that with ease, and then decided to rest. He could always finish the rest of the puzzles in the morning.

The morning of Day 2, Ferrian and Magnet woke up bright and early. They knew that they were at the very top of the careers' kill list, and they knew that the careers knew that they were in the junkyard. As such, they got up at about five in the morning and exited the junkyard, instead travelling into the skating rink.

Around noon that day, Ferrian and Magnet developed a plan. They dashed forth toward the cornucopia and peeked to make sure that there was no guard. There was no guard. Their plan was falling perfectly into place. Taking infinite care to be silent, the two allies snuck forth and pillaged the cornucopia of everything that they could use: wires and nuts and bolts and everything else that they needed. Then, they booked it away from the cornucopia.

The rest of Days 2 and 3 passed deathless as the Braniacs worked together on their trap. The two tributes were inspired by Woof Dozier, the victor of the thirteenth Hunger Games. Around noon on Day 4, the Braniacs snuck toward the cornucopia. Magnet knocked the guarding career, Garnet, unconscious. Then, they laid out their trap.

That evening, as the careers wandered back to their camp, the Braniacs' plan was falling perfectly into place. The careers all wandered perfectly into the electrical trap. Magnet flicked the lever, and a low pitched-hum of life emanated from the machine. Magnet and Ferrian peeked around the corner and saw the careers thrashing and contorting into strange positions as the powerful electric current coursed through their bodies. After about two minutes, Magnet flicked the switch off. The careers fell to the ground in a series of loud thumps, dead.

Claudia Seyfert, District 2 Female: 13th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 4

Amethyst Gemstone, District 1 Female: 12th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 4

Phoenix Bardel, District 7 Male: 11th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 4

After their cannon shots faded away fully, Ferrian bumped off unconscious Garnet, who had been guarding the supplies before he was knocked unconscious mere moments prior. Ferrian's wrench dented his skull and sunk his brain inwards, killing him instantly.

Garnet Springer, District 1 Male: 10th, Killed by Ferrian, Day 4

A tribute died from dehydration a few minutes after nine o'clock on the morning on Day 5.

Ethan Okeefe, District 8 Male: 9th, Dehydration, Day 5

That left the final eight: Ferrian Brightsteel and Magnet Lisagor from District 3, Juniper Haslett from 7, Cedrick Ashley and Tenney Graham from 10, Radcliffe Antonio and Zinnia Frost from 11, and Bristel Pickan from 12.

On the morning of Day 6, the gamemakers decided to throw a wrench into the works and shake things up a little. They sent the first round of muttations after the tributes. They were bulls, but they were not living. They were metal machines nearly ten feet tall, and they were made of gears. Inside of each bull was a furnace that caused steam to spray out of the bull's nostrils whenever they charged. The bulls terrorized the tributes for the better part of an hour before actually doing any damage. The gamemakers sent roughly half of the herd after the Brainiacs (now the dominant tributes since the careers had been eliminated). The muttations instantaneously destroyed their electrical wire trap. The two tributes scrammed, not bothering to leave anything tidy behind them as they raced away from the muttations. After about three hours of chasing, the bulls were recalled by the gamemakers. They didn't want to tire out the tributes too much, after all.

Day 7 was the most boring day in the arena yet. Progress had slowed to a crawl. There was little movement outside of the Brainiacs. Day 8 was similarly empty of conflict. Day 9 saw the Brainiacs begin work on a strange project at the cornucopia. They seemed to be rewiring the landmines in the cornucopia. Ferrian seemed to be doing the majority of the job, whilst Magnet seemed to be gathering materials for him to use for their next project. It was hard work to dig up each one and rebury it in a different location, but by the end of Day 9 they seemed to have finished the job. Now, all they had to do was wait.

The gamemakers, curious to see how the Brainiacs' trap would work, sent a hoard of dog muttations after the weakest remaining tribute, Bristel from 12. They chased him all the way toward the cornucopia, where the Braniacs stood by and waited. Bristel stepped right onto the pressure plate. The moment that he did, the three mines surrounding him exploded. In an explosion that could be heard from all the far-off corners of the arena, Bristel and his pursuing dog muttations were blown sky-high. His remains were rather unsightly, and the gamemakers cleaned them up quickly.

Bristel Pickan, District 12 Male: 8th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 9

Day 10 saw three deaths. The first death occurred a few hours before noon when a tribute fell prey to dehydration.

Radcliffe Antonio, District 11 Male: 7th, Dehydration, Day 10

The second and third deaths occurred just before sunset. The gamemakers had not seen much of Tenney or Zinnia, and so decided to force them toward each other to see what they were capable of. They did this via fireballs, and the two girls quickly realized that the gamemakers wanted them to kill each other. Now that the number of tributes had dwindled down to single digits, they reasoned that killing would not be a bad strategy. Tenney unsheathed her throwing knife as Zinnia brandished her sickle. The two tributes danced around each other, scattering cuts and such but nothing major. Then, in unison, the two tributes lunged toward each other. Tenney's throwing knife entered Zinnia's chest just as Zinnia's sickle cut into Tenney's neck, and the two tributes collapsed to the ground, slowly dying from the wounds that they had given each other.

Tenney Graham, District 10 Female: 6th, Killed by Zinnia, Day 10

Zinnia Frost, District 11 Female: 5th, Killed by Tenney, Day 10

That left only four tributes remaining. The two Brainiacs stayed at the cornucopia and rounded up all of their weapons. They also re-armed their traps in preparation for the final fight. Juniper began practicing with her axe, smashing it into cars and denting them. Cedrick began sharpening his knife on a sharp piece of rough metal.

Finally, at exactly noon on Day 11, the final round of muttations was unleashed. They were mechanical spiders, with rows of jagged dentures and metal legs that crawled over the ground in the creepiest way imaginable. The two non-Brainiac tributes raced away from the creatures. The first of them to reach the clearing was District 10's Cedrick. The moment he stepped on the pressure plate, the Brainiacs' land mine trap blew him to smithereens, launching his remains sky-high and leaving only three remaining tributes.

Cedrick Ashley, District 10 Male: 4th, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 11

At last, Juniper burst into the clearing. Juniper was remarkable skilled with the axe, and she danced around the two Brainiacs for a few minutes. The most that Juniper was able to do was deal the others a few cuts and scratches, but nothing major. Finally, Juniper decided that she should go big or go home. She lunged forward toward Ferrian and buried her axe deep into his chest. Right before she did so, Magnet smashed Juniper in the back with her sledgehammer. Ferrian fell limp on Juniper's axe at the same moment that Juniper fell unconscious from Magnet's sledgehammer blow. With Juniper unconscious, it only took a few more powerful blows from Magnet to spell her death.

Juniper Haslett, District 7 Female: 3rd, Killed by Ferrian and Magnet, Day 11

That left Ferrian Brightsteel and Magnet Lisagor of District 3 as the only two remaining tributes. Magnet stood virtually void of injury, whereas Ferrian lay on the ground, mere seconds from death, Juniper's axe sticking out of his chest at an awkward angle. Magnet stood by and watched as Ferrian's blood lazily crawled over the terrain. It was only a matter of time before Ferrian died. The symphony of trumpets played their familiar melody the second that Ferrian's cannon shot faded away fully.

Ferrian Brightsteel, District 3 Male: 2nd, Killed by Juniper, Day 11

"Magnet Lisagor of District 3, you are the victor of the twenty-seventh annual Hunger Games!" Estella sang.

Magnet smiled as she raised her fists into the air, triumphantly celebrating her victory.

Magnet Lisagor, District 3 Female: Victor of the Twenty Seventh Hunger Games, Day 11


AFTERMATH

The Capitol was enthralled by Magnet. Her strategy of eliminating the careers and taking over as the dominant alliance intrigued many viewers. Also, her move of reburying the land mines around the cornucopia would be used again several times in the future, most notably in the seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games. Magnet was most notable for her great sense of humor; she could make almost any audience laugh. She was similar in many ways to Dayta Albrand, the victor of the twenty-fourth Hunger Games. The two victors became great friends.

Magnet's victory tour was somewhat of a flop. The career districts were infuriated at how she had electrocuted their tributes to death, and a large portion of the outer districts were disgusted by her tactics as well. She received the cold shoulder from most of the districts, apart from District 3 where she received a hero's welcome.

Magnet moved into the Victor's Village of District 3, the fourth victor to do so.

Magnet would live to the ancient age of one-hundred and eight, dying from cystic fibrosis around the time of the one-hundred and seventeenth annual Hunger Games. In her lifetime, she would marry and have five children.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading, and thank you to Ferrian Brightsteel for this wonderful arena idea! They also requested that I put a tribute with their name in this chapter, which I did. I had lots of fun writing this chapter, and I hope that you had fun reading about Magnet.

Anyways, I have a new story on my profile! It's called "the strongest among them". It's a Hunger Games fanfic, just like this one. If you'd like to read that one, I think you'll enjoy it. I'm certainly enjoying writing it :)

Until next time, readers! I'll see you next time with number twenty-eight. Have a great day/night :)
