Chapter Ten: Beedrill Swarm
This is probably the chapter that most closely resembles the actual Hunger Games, but the tracker jackers are Beedrill instead. Hope you're enjoying this so far!
The sound of the cannon jolted Tails from his sleep, almost making him fall out of the tree. He looked up at the artificial sky. It was nighttime. Another four cannons went off, making him jump again. In the sky, the Capitol logo appeared as the national anthem appeared. Tails looked up again. The Fallen, he thought.
Pictures of Daffy, Backpack, Boots, Mike Wolfe, and Frank Fritz flashed on the screen. The Capitol logo showed up again, and the screen disappeared. That's it? Tails thought to himself. I thought more would dead by now.
The next morning, Tails woke to the sound of talking. He looked down to the ground and saw Mario and Peach. He wondered if they knew he was there.
Tails felt a small pebble hit him in the back of the head. "What the-" he looked up in to the tree next to him. It was Lola. She pointed to one of the branches. Beedrill, Tails thought. The replacement of tracker jackers.
Tom Tucker and Cynthia were hosting the games from the studio. "Cynthia, aren't those Pokémon Beedrill?" Tom asked his co-host.
"Yes," Cynthia said. "Beedrill stings are just as powerful as tracker jackers. Not only that, but their large size can make a serious problem for anyone who runs in to them."
Tails nodded to Lola. He started climbing the tree. When he reached the beehive, he took out his machete and started cutting. The Beedrill were huge, almost as big as him, that it would probably kill him if he were to get stung. He wondered how Pokémon trainers controlled these things.
After a few minutes of sawing at the branch, it gave in and the hive crashed to the ground. Tails flew to the top of the tree and watched as the tributes from District Two were stung to death. Two more cannons fired. Tails turned to thank Lola, but she had already disappeared.
Tails jumped to the ground. He never thought that he would kill someone, but he almost…enjoyed killing these two. With Mario out of the way, SEGA had a chance.
Tails shook his head. What am I thinking? He thought. He continued walking through the woods as his stomach growled. Now what? he asked himself. Then he saw it- a wild Bidoof.
"Eww…" he said. "Am I really considering eating that?" he took out his bow and arrow anyway. He shot the arrow, which landed in the Bidoof's eye. "Yes!" he yelled as he ran to his prey. Just before he could reach it, Eggman tackled him and pinned him against a rock.
Eggman laughed maniacally. "Now I've got you, you annoying little pipsqueak!"
Tails was squirming under Eggman's grip, trying to escape.
"Let me go Eggman!" Tails choked out.
At home, Sonic growled.
"Well, you pesky little fox, in honor of you making it this far, I'll make your death as unpainful as possible!" he laughed again.
"What do you me-" Tails felt as small pinch in his leg. Eggman had just stabbed him with tranquillizer.
Tails was getting sleepy. He stopped struggling and lost the will power to keep fighting. His thoughts started to get clouded as his eyes closed. Soon he was lying on the ground in a deep sleep.
"Now to end this," Eggman said as he pulled out his knife. "Goodbye you pesky little-" he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. He looked down a stomach. There was a bloody spear in it. Eggman fell to the ground as another cannon fired.
Lola smiled as she grabbed her spear. She ran off, leaving Tails on the ground, unconscious.
As Lola ran off, a pretty blonde and a tall, skinny nerd were walking through the woods.
And that wraps up chapter ten! Sorry it took so long! Can you give me your opinion on how the games are going so far? Thanks!
Oh, and I don't own anything except for my ideas and Angel! Gotcha, lawyer dudes.
OH! And one more thing, I might not update as much now that school's going to start soon. I'll probably post every Friday or Saturday. Hope you're enjoying the story!
