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

27. 26th Hunger Games - Sticky Arena

THE 26TH HUNGER GAMES

As the bloodstains of the First Quarter Quell began to wash away, the Districts were left quaking in fear. Never before had the Capitol seemed so powerful, so merciless and cruel, except for the unforgettable Dark Days. Even if the Twist wasn't too violent, the intentions of President Snow were more than enough to scare everyone.

But not everyone is scared, necessarily. A young man named Chronton Jaxe from District Six leads a small rebellion against the Capitol, with about twenty or so rebels by his side. They storm the Square as the Reaping is taking place, pushing into the crowds and lighting fires at the edges of the Square. Soon, everyone has to evacuate, but for District Six's tributes, it is too late – they have already been Reaped.

Chronton and his followers soon overpowered many of the Peacekeepers in District Six, but unfortunately, after five more days of riots and protests, the Capitol had to send in elite soldiers to deal with the troublesome rebels. They were taking TV time away from the Hunger Games, and although it was amusing for President Snow to watch them, he had to put an end to their fun and games once and for all. Chronton and almost all of his followers were inprisoned in the Capitol for the rest of their lives, although about five or six of his fellow rebels escaped detection.

THE LANDSCAPE

The landscape is a vast plain, covered in a strange, honey-like liquid about 2 inches thick. It's extremely sticky, and once you step on it, it will be a little difficult to move. Every tribute will be forced to slow down. There is a number of trees over to the west, and a huge cave opening to the north. There is also a lake in the very middle of the Arena, surrounded by dry, sandy ground.

THE CORNUCOPIA

The Cornucopia sits on top of a small podium, safe from the sticky ground coating. It contains a few weapons, but mainly holds food and water, along with some special camping equipment. There are also a few special shoes which repel the stickiness.

THE GAMES

The tributes are greatly surprised by the simplicity of their arena. Everything seems very easy – the Careers smile to themselves, knowing how simple it will be to kill others on this flat plain.

Then, as the gong rings out, Rosz steps out, heading in the direction of the Cornucopia. Before he can more than a few steps, he finds himself dragging his feet, desperately trying to move quickly along the sticky ground.

As the others tentatively follow him, they discover that Rosz isn't the only one suffering – the whole arena floor is, of course, covered in this strange gooey substance. Blayde, one of the taller Careers, gives a yell of frustration as he trekks through the honey-like liquid, obviously furious that other tributes are reaching the Cornucopia before him.

It seems like the younger, lighter tributes are at an advantage this year. Patty grabs a backpack from the outskirts of the golden horn, then lobs a knife in the direction of Katherine, who is quickly gaining on her. The hilt bounces off her shoulder harmlessly, and Katherine hurries on while Patty runs in fear.

Because of the difficulty in moving, there are only three deaths at the Cornucopia this year, though all of them are satisfactory for the Capitol viewers. Sasha grabs Yann as he reaches for a sword, snatching the weapon out of his limp hands and slicing his throat in a whirl of metal. Behind her, both Futura and Burnton, who seem to be allies, are slashed along their stomachs by Icca, who has managed to get her hands on a sword too.

The other tributes flee as best they can in the sticky goo, while the Careers search for long-range weapons. Lukas finds the only one – a crossbow, which he aims at Tartan. However, the nimble tribute dodges the dart and Lukas swears loudly.

Day 1 passes with no more deaths. Most of the tributes have gathered a few supplies, although, with the general lack of weapons, there are only three tributes who are properly armed – Fauna, Vervainn and Scotte.

24th – Yann Dustroad, District 12 male

23rd – Futura Wllingsdon, District 3 female

22nd – Burnton Frederix, District 3 male

Day 2 comes bright and early, with many tributes having had little sleep. The ground is very uncomfortable to sit on, let alone lie down on, and so a lot of tributes have been kept on their feet since the Bloodbath.

However, the peace doesn't last long. Grova is attacked by a large swarm of tracker jackers, which sting her mercilessly until finally she falls in the sticky substance. The goo prevents her from escaping, and only a few minutes later, she is killed.

The Careers, who are the only alliance so far, have made their traditional camp at the Cornucopia, although are having a hard time making a plan. Their group dynamic is fragile, as all four of them are slightly on edge about the difficulty of the arena. Agrippina comments angrily that this could've been the Twist last year.

The second and last death of the day happens in the evening, when Baltico and Twyline meet up. Although both are unarmed, Twyline is stronger and older. She leaps at Baltico and pins him to the ground, then suffocates him in the goo. He dies after a lot of thrashing and muffled yelling, before his cannon finally sounds.

21st – Grova Pellingan, District 7 female

20th – Baltico Wyndspeed, District 4 male

Day 3 brings the making of a new alliance – Fauna and Demika agree to become allies, and decide to explore the arena a little more. Despite the journey which takes about three hours to complete, they finally arrive at the mouth of the huge cave in the north of the arena. It is big enough for at least twenty tributes, but so far, nobody has discovered it.

Calvyne collapses later in the day from a mix of dehydration and exhaustion. The backpack he snagged from the back of another tribute (the now-deceased Baltico) has no water in it, which means he is in trouble. Although there is a lake in the arena, Calvyne is in no state to make such a taxing journey.

Days 4 and 5 pass slowly, with most tributes either searching the arena or setting up camps. The Careers, although quiet, are also very prepared to kill – they hope that a tribute or two might risk a trip back to the Cornucopia. In the evening of Day 5, their wish comes true. Both Hope and Binda appear, and Lukas manages to shoot Hope with a crossbow dart as Sasha grabs Binda and decapitates her swiftly.

19th – Hope Larterdall, District 12 female

18th – Binda Mittengall, District 5 female

This Games has proved to be extremely slow-going, with seventeen tributes still remaining on Day 6. The Gamemakers decide to throw in a little excitement, and create a disaster in the arena. They make acidic rain pour down, causing seven tributes to die before they can find shelter in the open arena. These seven are Rosz, Patty, Calvyne, Vervainn, Alexander, Scotte and Charlie. The Capitol viewers quickly become excited as the numbers narrow down to ten tributes by the end of the day. There are no more deaths, although some tributes are badly burned from the rainfall.

17th – Rosz Yennings, District 6 male

16th – Patty Davvis, District 9 female

15th – Calvyne Peacewoods, District 7 male

14th – Vervainn Rosebowers, District 11 male

13th – Alexander Frethys, District 9 male

12th – Scotte Campbell, District 5 male

11th – Charlie Goodman, District 10 male

With so many tributes eliminated now, the remaining tributes start to feel a little worried. Day 7 sees Fauna and Demika still hiding out in their cave, although they do receive a sponsor gift, presumably a reward for surviving the rain. When they open the silver parachute, they discover water and some bread rolls.

Meanwhile, the Careers are determined to get some kills in, so they set out on a big expedition to try and hunt down the weakest tributes. They plan to get rid of Katherine, as the weakest lower-District survivor, but luckily for her, they don't see any sight of her. Instead, after spending all day walking, they build a fire on the dry, sandy area around the lake and Lukas tries to catch some fish.

Day 8 dawns with a cannon that has rung out in the night. Icca has died from dehydration and hunger, as she was seemingly too weak to look for water.

For the rest of the day, the arena is fairly quiet. The Careers continue on their journey, and by the end of the afternoon, they discover Tartan, too weak to move, in a flimsy tent on the other side of the lake. The emaciated boy is an easy kill for Sasha, and they camp there for the night.

10th – Icca Derselle, District 4 female

9th – Tartan Risther, District 8 male

Day 9 brings another interference from the Gamemakers. They decide to draw apart the Careers and test them on their own, so send large cracks through the rocky earth underneath the goo, seperating the Careers and splitting their campsite clean in half. In addition, Agrippina slides wildly as the substance underneath her feet begins to pour down the crack, and she falls for miles in the black abyss. The cannon shot that follows marks her as dead and the other Careers stand in shock, not sure what to make of her death.

The rest of the day passes slowly. The Careers decide to set off on their own, and Lukas, who is the unlucky tribute without any supplies, stays at the lake for water and possibly fish, if he can catch any.

8th – Agrippina Melvillo, District 2 female

Day 10 sees Fauna and Demika's alliance fracture as Fauna suddenly turns on her ally as they eat breakfast and stabs her wildly in the stomach. As the tribute with a weapon, she was always at an advantage. She sobs loudly as Demika's cannon rings out.

Katherine is discovered by Sasha late in the evening, and even though she pleads for mecy, Sasha is too caught up by the idea of Victory to hear her pleas. She decapitates her easily and moves on.

7th – Demika Granmarr, District 6 female

6th – Katherine Hawkley, District 11 female

Day 11 brings the Final Five decided: Lukas, Sasha, Blayde, Fauna and Twyline, who has been very quiet so far. However, the District Eight girl begins to pack up her supplies, heading back towards the Cornucopia. By the time she reaches it, only an hour has passed, and she sets up her new camp there, taking a spear for herself.

Blayde makes a kill later in the day when he discovers Fauna hiding in the large cave he was planning to make his hiding place. He stabs her in the chest and exchanges his sword for her throwing knife.

5th – Fauna Vadross, District 10 female

Day 12 brings four tributes remaining, and tensions are extremely high. Lukas, the Career who seems to be the weakest of the former alliance, is ambushed by Sasha, who creeps up behind him and stabs him in the back before pushing him into the lake. He dies quickly, his blood staining the clear water red.

Twyline and Blayde, having both heard the cannon, prepare themselves for the inevitable finale. However, day turns into night and it seems that the Games are continuing.

4th – Lukas Fierdene, District 1 male

Day 13 dawns, with the Finale of the 26th Hunger Games looming on the horizon. Sasha, the best killer of the Games, seems to be a clear Victor, but anything could happen. Blayde is also strong, and Twyline seems clever enough to devise some kind of trap.

But the day takes a sharp turn as Sasha finally manages to track down Blayde. She hears him humming to himself, and gives a yell, running into the dark cave and slashing wildly with her sword. However, Blayde is at an advantage – his eyes are accustomed to the darkness, whereas Sasha is practically blind. She is delt a deep cut on her leg, and manages to lop off Blayde's sword hand as she lashes out in fury. Blayde roars in pain, but the fight continues.

Then, in less than a few seconds, Blayde has impaled Sasha on his sword, just as she lodges her own blade in his chest.

Two cannons boom.

Twyline is our Victor – though she didn't even have to work for it.

THE VICTOR

Twyline Caroll – District 8 female

THE AFTERMATH

As one of the youngest Victors yet, Twyline was despised by the Capitol for being such a boring, uninteresting tribute and Victor. Her time in the arena was quiet and she only had a few hours on camera throughout the whole Games. District 8 were quite relieved to have a Victor after such a while, although they didn't appreciate Twyline's Victory as much as they would've if she was a born killer. However, Twyline and Cally Featherton, victor of the 19th, soon became friends and shared their memories together as a coping mechanism. Twyline died at the age of 68 after a long and prosperous life in District 8.

FAMILY INTERVIEW

Twyline's family consists of her mother and her two younger sisters, Needla and Darnelle. They are all teary-eyed, and even her mother, who looks like a strong and tough woman, can't keep her voice from wobbling. "Twyline was always so scared of the Hunger Games," Mrs. Caroll says sadly. "It's such a shock to see her on television as a Victor. We weren't expecting this at all."

A/N: Twyline Caroll! What did you think of her? To be honest, I think she was probably the luckiest Victor ever, because she barely had to do anything to win. Surprising that Blayde or Sasha didn't win, but the Careers will have their glory.
