Jigglypuff had expanded across a large portion of the outer ring of forest, and everybody in that forest: Pikachu, Villager, Mewtwo, Charizard, Popo, Nana, Ike, Fox, Falco, Rosalina, Kirby and Pit, were set flying. As Jigglypuff deflated to her normal size, she heard three cannons go off. She looked up in awe as she saw three bodies flying across the sky. One was a white and pink creature, she could identify that one as Mewtwo.
DISTRICT ELEVEN: Mewtwo - DEAD
The next one was an orange creature that looked like a fox. Jigglypuff couldn't recognise who this was, but as the creature landed on the ground, it was the electrocuted corpse of Fox.
DISTRICT SEVEN: Fox - DEAD
The final one was a short figure, wearing a purple coat. Jigglypuff knew straight away that this was Popo. However, as Popo landed in the water, he let out several short, painful breaths.
"Popo!" Nana cried as she ran to the water as quickly as she could. No damage had been dealt to her, "Popo! No!"
"N-Nana..." Popo gasped.
Nana burst into tears, "No, Popo! You'll be okay!" Nana ran towards Popo and took him out of the water, "It's okay, you'll stay here, and we'll be okay. Okay. Okay."
It was no use. As Nana had been speaking to Popo, he had died. Nana looked at Popo's now dead body and held it close to her. She silently sobbed.
DISTRICT EIGHT: Popo - DEAD
"W-What was that?" Rosalina rubbed her head as she slowly woke up, "What happened?"
"This is what happened," Ike said from nowhere, startling Rosalina, "A big fat Pokémon became even more big and fat and threw people across the arena. I had some allies, but they're probably dead or couldn't be bothered to find me, or both. However, you look like you could be a great warrior. A worthy adversary."
"You... what?" Rosalina asked, confused.
"I believe we should be allies," Ike announced, "I have no intention of harm towards you, and I do think you could be a fantastic competitor."
"But, alliances are useless in these games," Rosalina shook her head, "There's no point in them. They'll break up in the end and it turns into something ugly."
"Well, I could kill you instead." Ike threatened, and Rosalina gulped.
She reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'm in."
Charizard had found himself on his own, but he was still searching for Mewtwo.
"Mewtwo!" he called out several times, "Where are you? You better not be dead!"
Kirby, who had dropped as a stone, was listening and trying his hardest not to hold in a laugh.
"He's dead alright..." he muttered quietly, "And you're next..."
Meanwhile, in the murky moat, Link, Zelda, King Dedede, Wii Fit Trainer, Lucina and Peach were all getting closer to the castle, but Ness and Lucas had found an easier way to get there.
"I can't believe we never thought of this!" Lucas exclaimed as he fired himself into the air, and then back into the water, like a dolphin. Ness was doing the same, and both of them felt rather pleased with themselves.
"Anyway, we should be quiet," Ness giggled, "We can't have the others finding out our tactics!"
Meanwhile, Peach and Lucina were sure that they had heard the cannon go off three times, and they were both worried.
"What if it's Mario?" Peach panicked, "What if he's DEAD?"
"He's probably not even in the games," Lucina told, "You're being paranoid. But the cannons going off is quite chilling. I hate it."
"I'm with you there," Peach nodded, "It's horrible."
Pikachu woke up after being thrown around the arena a lot. However, he found himself tied to a tree. Automatically, he was struck with fear. He looked around him to see Villager and Pit in the same situation.
"P-Pika!" Pikachu yelled, "Guys! Wake up! Wake up!"
Villager soon came to see the same thing, followed by Pit.
"What's going on here?" Pit asked, even more enraged. Suddenly, they saw Falco step out from behind a tree, with his pistol pointed at them.
"Hello, helpless Smashers," Falco smiled in greeting, "I have taken you prisoner as I have truly been handed some awful cards in this game. My companion, my friend, my ally, the only chance I had of victory in this game, was killed by a certain Pokémon, who I am yet to find. So, in order to take a few worthless players out, I will be killing you three, in the slowest and most horrifying ways possible."
"But, why?" Villager asked, "Can't we all get along?"
"Not in the Hunger Games, Doris," Falco rolled his eyes, "You must kill, and you are all pretty useless, let's be honest. So, nobody's going to miss you if you die. You're all worthless."
"We're not worthless!" Pit yelled.
"And it would be a shame if my finger were to slip, and a shot was fired, like, this?" Falco fired his pistol straight into Villager's head, and both Pikachu and Pit gasped as Villager fell dead instantly.
The cannon fired.
DISTRICT TWELVE: Villager - DEAD
Falco laughed as Pikachu and Pit both looked at each other in fear.
Link and Zelda were getting closer to the castle, and with King Dedede and Wii Fit Trainer also wanting to get there, they considered themselves lucky not to have been under more attacks.
"We're going to need to make some sort of attack," Zelda said quietly, "You'll never know when they might attack."
"What are they going to do?" Link asked, "King Dedede can barely move and Wii Fit Trainer's hardly the most threatening person we could face."
"But they could take us by surprise." Zelda muttered.
"I have no intentions of attacking you," Wii Fit Trainer said awkwardly, "Well, had."
Link and Zelda both gulped as Wii Fit Trainer walked closer to them, with hula-hoops in hand...
Much cliffhanger. Many death. Very Hunger Games. :)
