Let me explain. The tributes have already been hooked up to the machine and this is ALL in their minds. So with that thought, Let the games begin!
3rd Person
The tributes all enter their pods, anxious for what they're about to see. They say goodbye to their stylists and stand on their platform.
The rising pods indicate that the beginning of the end is near. Blood will be spilt, lives will be lost and screams will be heard throughout the arena.
Blinding sunlight and the sound of crashing waves greet the tributes.
A tropical arena.
The tributes are standing on a beach, with water to one side and a rainforest to the left. Palm trees frame the entrance to the rainforest and the sounds of animals echo throughout the cornucopia.
Flocks of birds fly overhead as the countdown begins.

Tributes look anxiously among one another, signalling what way they should leave the bloodbath whilst other looks straight ahead, keen to spill blood.

Scattered along the outskirts of the cornucopia are small knives, strewn food and little protective material. Deep in the heart however, picnic baskets filled with delicacies, tents that will protect anyone and weapons only a career could dream of.

The careers all have their targets. Zane Asher is keen to get his hands on Max Starling after his interview comments. Jenna Nightingale is set on her District partner who abandoned them. Other tributes look around, only wanting to leave with their lives. Blood will soon stain the golden grains of sand and the crystal blue ocean.

Jenna Nightingale stares ahead at a bedazzled sword that practically has her name on it. She can't wait for the sterling silver to be painted red, with Silvers being the first.
25
Silver Gonda knows he has to get in and out of the Cornucopia as fast as he can. With the careers all gunning for him, he plans to leave with a backpack, some food and hopefully, his life.
24
Star Cyrus knows the plan. Meet with Adriana and Alden in the corn, grab what they can and run like hell. Hopefully, with the careers still thinking they're with them they can get out of their without any problems.
23
Zane Asher admires the weapons in the middle. Imagining the man different ways he can kill Max Starling, a smile crosses his face.
22
Brigid Perrilloux still can't believe what she saw last night. Her little sisters face projected for all of Panem to see. She knows she has to win for Genevieve, Brigid just hopes her sister won't see her doing it.
21
Rubin Heart struggles to not throw up. Fear causes bile to swirl in his stomach, threatening to push its way to the surface. The fear of possibly dyeing in a few minutes is enough to make anyone sick.
20
Adriana Landry has her eyes set on a backpack, not too deep in the Bloodbath. She can make it in and out of their so long as nothing happens. She just hopes Star and Alden can too.
19
Alden James Farrell wants to throw a million tridents into President Wolf's body. How could the twist be so evil and, well, twisted! Now he has to play for Niall's life too, but at least Niall is in the Hunger Games, following his dreams.
18
Ramone Hallert knows the Capitol is gunning for her. She knew that when she flipped them off at the reaping, when she did it again during the Chariot rides, when she exited her Interview with her finger in the air and now, standing with her finger in the air.
17
Tobius Karuna wants to win these games for hhis sister. Then, they can throw their filthy scumbag father in jail and make him suffer. If only his father was in his sisters place, then death would not be so scary.
16
Emalyne Beatrice Poe tries to keep the tears in. Not only is she in the Hunger Games with her boyfriend, she's also pregnant and her mother's life is in her hands. How could things get any worse?
15
Haun Loggan McArthur wishes he could comfort Emalyne. She's about 8 people from him although he can still see her tears. Hopefully, he can get to her before any other tributes.
14
Tinder Kailiv can't stop shaking. About 10 feet from her is a bag of 3 apples, the only item she plans on grabbing. After that, she runs.
13
Beck Crow can't believe he's actually going into the Bloodbath. Clancy managed to persuade him to go into the thick of things, a decision he hopes he won't end up regretting.
12
Tinkerbell Jay still can't believe she won such an amazing trip! She gets to go on an island with all her friends and play with some cool toys! How much luckier can someone get?
11
Warren Redway is going to fight it out in the Cornucopia until the very end. He needs those supplies and won't leave until he has a good amount. He'd kill to get his hands on some of those supplies.
10
Elizabeth Soltis will make it past the bloodbath. Her sister did, and so will she. She will fight for her mother, although she'll kill if it's only necessary. Hopefully it won't have to get to that.
9
James Wheaters is beyond terrified. The clock just passed the 10 mark and he's positive he'll be dead before the hours up.
8
Analeigh Summers knows what she has to do. Theres no way she can survive, she could die in so many painful ways. She just tries to block out her brother as she makes her decision.
7
BOOM! Clancy Austen knows immediately that Analeigh jumped. The first person dead, along with her brother. Clancy knows more cannons will fire before the days up. He can only hope one of them isn't his.
6
Rose Harrien will make an immediant beeline for Elizabeth. The girl is nearly directly across from her, obscured from sight. Then, they'll have to venture into the bloodbath, a place where Rose doesn't want to be.
5
Max Starling still can't believe how stupid he was. Insulting the careers is bad enough, but on tv? Now Max can't go anywhere near the middle, he'll have to go straight for the forest.
4
Fay Dare doesn't think about her cousin as she gets ready to run for the middle. She will kill if she has to, anything for her cousin.
3
Chad Ivory is running away from Max. Despite the fact he's his ally, he's also a primal target for careers. He's already got enough to worry about without worrying about Careers stalking his every move.
2
Jade Gilmore is practically drooling at the sight of those spears. They're calling her, and she cant wait to impale tributes with them. Not long to go now.
1
Ramiro Hayes is ready to run for the middle. He won't resolve to torturing the tributes, there's no point. He's ready to go, he's waited his entire life for this. Oh yes, he's ready.
As the gong rings out, tributes run in all directions. Some towards the middle, others away.
Let the games begin.
The actual Bloodbath is the next chapter! YAY!
