The first two Hunger Games had proven highly successful in the Capitol while also being greatly feared in the Districts and the games became a great way to keep the Districts down. A year had passed since the first two Hunger Games and with the 3rd year on its way, the Capitol people were on edge for the next years games.

How would they make the games even more exciting? How could they hold onto their momentum? Well, outside of the recently growing betting industry (Which began to boom starting with the 2nd Hunger Games), probably one of the most iconic things in the Capitol had been the fashion.

The Hunger Games weren't exactly clean, but head propaganda director [Hunger Games was propaganda at the time. It wasn't until later that the games got their own directors] Clay, decided it'd be best to morph the games with the fashion industry by having some sort of costume party thing or whatever.

Considering many would want to see what it was all about, the viewership would be much, MUCH larger than the previous two if it could work. Though reluctant, President Bering Snow decided it would be worth a try. This is how the interviews started.

Reaping day was held once again and the 24 tributes were sent to the Capitol. However, there would be a two day time period in between these days. First, the tributes would arrive. The next day, they would be cleaned up and sent to a building to be interviewed by a young man named Cordo Rivendell. There, they'd share their personality, lifestyle and outfits.

This year would definitely be unforgettable. The 2nd Hunger Games had managed to be bigger than the first, hopefully this one could gain all the attention.

After both the reapings and interviews were held, the tributes were sent into the arena the next day. As the pods rose up into the arena, the tributes were not surprised at their surroundings. Knowing that the arenas can be anything any year, it wasn't shocking to see a cold tundra that year.

The countdown formally began as the tributes silently awaiting the gong. District 1 Male (Mace) was clearly unsure about the arena. District 1 had produced the previous victor after all. Wouldn't the others want to target him?

Some of the younger tributes had their eyes on him. Some of the older ones had their eyes on the supplies, getting ready to book it and grab everything they could. Meanwhile, the 2 girl (Amena) was looking over at the girl from 4 (Rina).

Before the interviews, they had agreed to alliance at the cornucopia, knowing how bad it had gotten the year before. It would be necessary to watch each others backs. Especially considering how random the tributes were.

"GOOONG" The piercing gong rang through the arena and the tributes rushed towards the cornucopia. All of the tributes ran directly towards the cornucopia, ready to grab all the necessary supplies. However, because of the sudden deaths from the previous two years, people were frantically grabbing their items and trying to get the hell out of the way of anyone who may have wanted them dead.

Many of the tributes actually managed to avoid death but even though a quarter of the tributes were busy running, the other 75% were still grabbing supplies. Amena already had a sword in hand by the time she got everything she thought was necessary and Rina had picked up a spear which had luckily been in the games this year.

As they grabbed their weapons and ran off, the District 10 Male (Buck) was already leaving the cornucopia with a curved sword in hand. Considering how dangerous District 1, 3, 6 and 12 had been in the previous 2 years, he knew it would be a best bet to take out a few of the districts with the major threats from the previous two games.

He immediately went to to the District 6 female (Who had been looking around for knives on the outside) and before she could even properly react, struck her down with his sword. "BOOM!" The canon went off immediately and that had been the sign for many of the younger tributes to book it. However, the District 2 Male this year wasn't planning on letting this big guy win.

With his axe ready, he charged towards Buck who had barely any time to react to the 2 male. As the two battle on, the other tributes would leave for the trees which seemed to be good camouflage. However, Amena and Rina were waiting for that moment. As the tributes ran by, the two would jump out and kill most of the tributes as they ran through the trees.

The battle between the Bucky and the District 2 Male raged on for about 5 more minutes as the two couldn't really gain an edge over each other. It was around then that the District 2 male gave up and retreated to the woods.

"Should we kill him? If it's okay with you?" Rina asked Amena. Amena nodded, though hesitant since the two had come to known each other before the games. That didn't matter. Getting out alive was really the only thing that had mattered to Amena.

As the District 2 male came running through the woods, panting heavily, Rina aimed her spear at his chest and launched it at him. It pierced straight through him before he collapsed.

"BOOM!" A canon went off. The District 2 male was dead.

Amena closed her eyes as she watched the District 2 male get lifted out of the arena. She wasn't fond of the tributes from the previous two years. The ones who were pretty much broken. She could list off their names. Chock (12), Perca (6), Chip (3), Zea (9), Sira (1). Those were some of the worst from the previous two years and those Districts were very notorious for their rebels.

She was afraid she was starting to become more like them though. Wondering what her older sister would be doing in that moment, she told Rina that they should hurry along before the District 10 boy comes running through or something.

By late afternoon, the biggest killer wasn't the tributes though, it was the cold. The only real heated area in the arena was the inside of the cornucopia (Which had no real reason to be heated) and that's why Bucky was staying there all day. Because of this, he wasn't going to go out and kill everyone he could. The other tributes could do that themselves.

However... the cold was killing the tributes for him anyways.

"Six...Seven... Eight? That's... That's insane for the first day." The District 1 Male (Mace) said to himself as he shivered in the cold. Watching the amount of tributes dying all around him gave him terrible flashbacks to the battle of District 1. He was only 14 when the battle happened. He watched his father protect him and his mother during the heavy bombing from the Capitol and the backlash from District 6 and 13.

He watched his father grab arms and head into a battlefield... and he never saw him return. Alive at least.

He didn't want to think about it but he was currently in the middle of a blizzard and he didn't want to think about that one either. As he laid his head against a tree, he dazed off.

As the moon came up before going down again, only one death was recorded. Of course, this being the District 10 Female. Though besides that, their were no other deaths that night. As it became day once again, the cold snow remained on the ground as the tributes shivered.

Each hour felt like decades to the tributes. It became apparent to the Clay that the games weren't going to have any bloodshed if they didn't fix this.

However, nothing they tried really worked as the tributes kept dying one by one. Unfortunately, Amena and Rina were still having their problems as the games went onward.

It was very cold where they were so they decided it would be best if headed to the cornucopia and take it over which they went to go do.

Throughout the entire day, canon shots were heard throughout the arena. Eventually, 10 were counted between 12 AM and 6 Pm... only 6 hours of time...

Eventually, they made it to the cornucopia where the Buck awaited them. A battle begun and the Capitol audience was finally drawn back in. However, the snow caused multiple problems. For one, the audience had a hard time watching the fight due to the ongoing snow storm.

Besides that, even Amena and Rina were having trouble fighting against the District 10 boy who had been relatively warm in the cornucopia. Because of this, they both ended up dead at his hands.

"BOOM!" "BOOM!"

With those two now gone, the games had gone back to being dull. Well, not on Clays watch. He ordered all of the tributes back to the cornucopia at once. In 20 minutes, the tributes trackers would all explode if they didn't make it to the cornucopia in time.

Though this was a rehash of the thing from the first Hunger Games, it still drew in the audience once again. With 6 tributes, this would hopefully make the games more interesting this time, right?

Wrong. "BOOM!" "BOOM!"

The District 3 girl and District 12 both died after losing their way looking for the cornucopia.

"BOOM!"

The District 5 Female was too far away anyways.

By the time the 20 minutes were up, the only tributes still remaining were the District 10 Male (Buck), the District 7 Male and the District 1 Male (Mace). They all had fighting experience and so this fight would definitely help make up for the disaster that was the 3rd Hunger Games. Though that was slim, the fight still worked.

Obviously the best trained out of all of them was the District 7 Male, however he was suffering from frost bite in his legs and hands so he wasn't able to do much without hurting himself. Noticing this, both of the other District tributes ganged up on him and managed to overpower him swiftly.

"BOOM!"

"So, are you ready 1?" The District 10 boy asked. "Yeah." He charged at him with his sword. However, The District 10 boy quickly evaded him before slashing him across the chest.

"BOOM!"

And thus, the victor for the 3rd Annual Hunger Games was proclaimed. Bucky Banna of District 10...

District 10 Female - Froze to death - 9/24 - Killed by Arena

District 2 Female (Amena) - Sliced by sword - 8/24 - Killed by District 10 Male (Bucky Banna)

District 4 Female (Rina) - Stabbed with sword - 7/24 - Killed by District 10 Male (Bucky Banna)

District 3 Female - Didn't make it to cornucopia in time - 6/24 - Killed by tracker

District 12 Male - Didn't make it to cornucopia in time - 5/24 - Killed by tracker

District 5 Female - Didn't make it to the cornucopia in time - 4/24 - Killed by tracker

District 7 Male - Overpowered by District 1 and 10 - 3/24 - Killed by District 1 Male (Mace) and District 10 Male (Buck)

District 1 Male - Quickly killed with sword - 2/24 - Killed by District 10 Male (Buck)

Coming from a background of rebellion, just like the previous two victors, his parents were dead. However, he had a little sister who was happy to know he was coming back. By the by, she would be reaped next year...

This would be the first lower District win. However, Buck was never really remembered in the Capitol but he was happy with that since it meant nobody would bother with him.

These games would go down as probably the worst games in history due to the tributes dying off so quickly, the fights being hard to see and the everything being confusing. Clay would step down, however, the fashion show at the beginning would boost the popularity of the games.

In the Capitol, the games would no longer be seen as propaganda... but as a sport of such. Now, just like other sports in the region, it would have Game Makers. Clays assistant, Toris Allaya would take over as head Game Maker for the 4th games.

Current Victors

1. Kai Barbana (District 4, 16)

2. Sira Hirana (District 1, 17)

I HATED WRITING THIS CHAPTER! I wasn't really interested while writing it and it led to a lot of inconsistences and 3 days after publishing it, I forced myself to re-edit it to fix all of the mistakes. Sorry about that rant. Don't have much to say about it. Though yeah, first lower District win.

The next time I won't really be interested while writing these is when we get to the canon characters... oh boy... will those ones suck... Though I can't wait to get to the 50th games (Haymitch's games) and especially the 74th (Katniss and Peeta's games, but with a twist).

See you soon!
