73 Games that Came & Went

by Skyheart033

We all know about the 74th and 75th Hunger Games, but what about the stories we were never told? What about the Hunger Games that were forgotten? This is where you can read about the arenas that were abandoned and the tributes who were lost in time. These are the stories of the 73 other Hunger Games. *Not following the events of canon Games* 29/73

16. 15th Hunger Games - Humid Jungle

THE 15TH HUNGER GAMES

After the Victory of yet another blood-thirsty Victor, the Capitol are very enthusiastic about the Games now. In fact, things are getting so heated that many girls (and some boys) are starting 'Victor Fanclubs', dedicated to their favorite Victors, in the Capitol and the richer Districts. It's getting out of hand, but nobody seems to care. The Gamemakers have turned out a brand-new arena, and all any Capitolite wants to see is more bloodshed this year.

Meanwhile, Districts 1 and 2 have been named officially as the wealthiest Districts, with District 4 coming in as a close third. On the other hand, Districts 11 and 12 have been named officially as the poorest Districts, with both Districts 9 and 10 as contenders.

President Snow has also decided to give the tributes a proper vehicle now, so instead of using basic supply trains to transport them to the Capitol, he commands District 6 to get to work with building some proper tribute-carrying trains. These are nicknamed 'TC trains' in the District, as they become notorious for being the most expensive and difficult trains to build.

THE LANDSCAPE

The tributes rise up into a swelteringly hot jungle, filled with the sound of toucans and parrots. All around them are vines, grasses and huge trees, almost like barriers around them. However, what really catches everyone's eyes is the fact that there are various signs hanging from the trees, telling the tributes were to go with symbols and letters.

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia sits on a huge, vine covered rock in the centre of the clearing. It contains only weapons, but no food or water. The rock is so tall that the tributes will have to use the vines to climb up to the top.

THE TRIBUTES

The gong rings and for a moment, the tributes stall, still unsure of their arena. Then Flashi leaps off her pedestal and jumps at the nearest tribute: Ryder, who is still standing on his own. They both fall to the ground and Flashi beats him into submission before breaking his neck with her bare hands.

Everyone is jolted out of their initial shock and back into reality. The Careers bond together, unlike last year, and manage to kill five others – Pandora, Loom, Rosanna and finally Mera, who is the last death and falls by Vyne's sword.

The remaining 19 tributes flee into the jungle, some following signs and some not. Another death occurs soon after the Bloodbath ends when Colombine follows two signs and disturbs a tracker-jacker nest, turning the nasty mutts on him. He is killed within a few minutes.

24th – Ryder Holliess, District 10 male

23rd – Pandora Kitts, District 6 female

22nd – Loom Jakes, District 9 male

21st – Rosanna Tillow, District 4 female

20th – Mera Bathes, District 5 female

19th – Colombine Roott, District 12 male

Day 2 dawns with two more deaths overnight – Binara, who was also killed by mutts, and Amber, who was killed by the Careers. Evella, Fuschia, Azalea and Patience make up a lower-Districts alliance soon after the cannons ring, planning on battling the Careers and trying to pick off weaker tributes.

Meanwhile, Oyster suffers from dehydration, along with Lynna and Vido. They will have to find water if they want to make it past Day 4.

18th – Binara Solash, District 3 female

17th – Amber Whipp, District 7 female

Day 3 comes with the lower-District alliance making their way, slowly and surely, towards the Careers' camp. The Capitol citizens are on the edge of their seats, hoping that the groups might meet.
Their wishes come true, as the two alliances finally find each other and attack, engaging in a surprisingly short but fierce battle in which Vyne, Evella and Azalea are killed. Fuschia and Patience run away, terrified and shocked at the loss of their allies, with the Careers hot on their trail. Only by climbing trees do they escape from the rival alliance.

Apollo is also in the danger zone, as although he is armed with knives, he has no food, and is currently wandering through the jungle, weak and exhausted it seems.

Meanwhile, Corde is the last death of the day when he is attacked by a strange bird-like mutt which sprays him with poison. He is killed instantly.

16th – Vyne Roberts-Carver, District 2 male

15th – Evella Yanelan, District 8 female

14th – Azalea Pierce, District 12 female

13th – Corde Mountains, District 3 male

Day 4 comes with the number of tributes halved, and leaves with another four taken away. Oyster, Lynna and Vido, the three dehydrated tributes, die the same death, while in the late evening, the Careers find Bridd's camp. He has no chance against them and Dakota kills him.

12th – Oyster Silvertin, District 4 male

11th – Lynna Beache, District 10 female

10th – Vido Sarpent, District 5 male

9th – Bridd Cassell, District 9 male

Day 5 is the first day to pass without any deaths, with only 8 tributes left. Some tributes are following the signs hanging from the trees, while others are just walking and camping, hoping to find food and water. Surprisingly, Patience and Fuschia manage to find the Cornucopia after two days of searching, only to discover that all it holds are weapons. They both camp outside it, obviously wondering what to do.

Meanwhile, Grayne is having a difficult time finding food for himself. He has climbed a tree and has been living on fruit for most of the Games, but he has run out.

Day 6 dawns with a bout of rain. Apollo seems grateful, as he collects it in a large leaf and drinks a lot, so he must have been very dehydrated. However, a new death occurs: Kindler, who dies when the ditch he is sheltering in fills up with water, and he drowns.

8th – Kindler Foote, District 7 male

With 7 tributes left by Day 7, tensions are high. By now, Fuschia and Patience are dying slowly, with no water or food, and no natural food in sight. By evening, they decide to end their suffering and form a suicide pact. They both slit their throats with knives found in the Cornucopia, and die together.

7th – Fuschia Stacker, District 9 female

6th – Patience Hallowway, District 11 female

Day 8 comes with the death of Grayn from dehydration. The Careers realize that Apollo is the only tribute left, so they begin to try and track him down. Their search lasts the entire day until they finally walk right underneath his tree without realizing it. Apollo throws his first knife into Dakota's skull, and while Flashi and Hartford jump backwards in alarm, Apollo throws his second knife into Flashi's chest. Obviously the boy from 6 isn't as weak as the Gamemakers first thought he was.

Hartford finally realizes that Apollo must be up in a tree, and spots the older boy above him. Hartford tries to climb, but fails miserably, and Apollo laughs at him. After a few more minutes of trying, Hartford steps back as Apollo taunts him. He's clearly thinking.

Finally he tells Apollo that they will have to have a fair fight, and that he has to come down from the tree.

Apollo doesn't seem to like the idea, but he climbs down anyway, smirking. Hartford pulls out his sword, but in a split second, Apollo plunges his knife into the younger boy's head, ending the 'fight' and earning himself the Victor's crown.

THE VICTOR

Apollo Rust – District 6 male

THE AFTERMATH

Unlike his fellow District Victor, Apollo was one of the few District 6 tributes that wasn't an addict, and he lived a quiet and comfortable life in the Victors' Village…or at least, he was supposed to. As he got older, the memories of his Games overtook him, and finally he resorted to drugs after his fellow Victor Laxander introduced him to morphling. His life ended when he was only 40 after he over-dosed.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

Apollo's mother and father are his only family. His mother remains stony-faced while his father's eyes are filled with tears. "We don't wish to discuss the matter," his mother says, very firmly. It seems his parents are unwilling to give an opinion on their son's Victory.

A/N: Apollo's Victory…what did you think of him?
Also, some shameless self-promotion: I currently have a book of drabbles up about all the Victors from this story, it's called 'Coming Out Alive'. I thought people who liked this story might like that one too, since it gives a more in-depth look into the Victors (though each chapter is only 100 words).
