open The Hunger Games

[Darkshift 85]

Darkshift fel the luxury of travel until he got suited in a modern and some what electrical outfit with his fellow tribute.

There chariot awaited he leaped onto the chariot and gracefully held his hand to help his female counterpart on to the chariot "Here we go"He said lighting his nerves.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Soon, all the chariots rode to the center of the Capitol. There, the ruler of Equestria would speak. "Thank you all for coming." Nightfury said. "It is my esteemed pleasure to be here. Now then, let's get down to business. Behind me, is a board containing four different environments:forest,mountain,desert,and tundra. One will be randomly selected for the hunger games." A spinner then appeared in the middle of the screen and spun around. After a few seconds of tension, the spinner landed on the mountain biome. Before anypony could react, Nightfury regained the mic. "I have also received word from the gamemakers that unicorns and pegasi will no longer be allowed to use magic or flight during the games." Guards then entered the area and escorted the tributes back to the hotel.

 

Tempest and Ivy had mixed feeling. They might have had an advantage on the mountains, if Ivy could have used her magic. The cyan pegesus was used to fighting both on the ground and in the air, so that didn't bother him much.

Crimson was bored out of his mind the entire chariot ride until nightfury gave his speech, this intuiged him, "tch, no magic huh? Whatever, it doesn't bother me, my powers aren't based on magic so I should be fine, and twinkle is an earth pony so she shouldn't have a problem with it either.....so far we seem to have these games in the bag..." thought crimson with a grinn.

[Drago Ryder 641]

When Tempest and Ivy reached the hotel, they immediatly started replanning. They figured that as long as they got plenty of food,and a strategic location, then they could win. All Tempest had to do was get, or make, a pair of dual swords. The two ponies then bid each other a good night,went to their seperate rooms, and collapsed onto their beds.

[Darkshift 85]

Darkshift listened to the entire speech and was pretty shocked when he heard he wasn't allowed to fly yet he was gleeful about the biome being tundra.Eventually he arrived at his hotel and noticed the luxurious and expensive room before him "The calm before the storm"He told himself before preparing by plotting a random map and then thinking of stages such as the bloodbath.He knew he had to scavenge a few supplies at the start which would save him from the cold including a bow,he thought a sword would be useless if you're attacker could climb.

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson and twinkle made sure to recap their plans as they entered the hotel, they both new that crimsons powers would be extremely useful to their survival, and twinkles battle strategy and survival skills would keep them alive long enough to survive the first few days at least, crimson and twinkle eventually said goodnight to one anoather before walking off to their rooms and almost instantly finding sleep.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605]

Renegade entered his hotel room with a worried look on his face. He was starting to wish he'd never been chosen. No matter. He was used to the freezing cold caves during winter, so he'd be used to tundra. Strangely enough, odd thoughts seemed to enter his mind. These thoughts seemed to only speak one word. A word Renegade had automatically become enamored with: rebellion. Yeah, rebellion. He kinda liked the sound of it. "Rebellion." he whispered such a low volume nopony could hear it.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest woke up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat. He sighed as he looked out his window and towards the moon.The cyan pegesus had just woken up from a nightmare that showed a few districts in flames. The seventh district was also completely destroyed. "It might be nothing." He thought, "It was just some random nightmare created due to stress." Tempest then went out into the kitchen area and started to make a late night snack.

 

(Dark shift, the biome is mountains, not tundra.)

[NocturnalRainbow 248]

Back at the hotel Sky Dreamer and Nocturne were busy training. Sky Dreamer was practicing her traps and Nocturne was busy trying to learn proper camouflage.

 

"Hey Nocturne! Come over here!" Sky Dreamer shouted

 

"What... is this one of your traps?" Nocturne asked

 

"Yeah, it picks them up in a net, doesn't kill or anything..."

 

"Are you sure we shouldn't make a trap that kills people" said Nocturne "It is the Hunger Games after all..."

 

"Well... maybe if we catch some people and spare their lives they'll help us..." said Sky Dreamer

 

"Wishful thinking... but we should at least give it a try..." said Nocturne "I'm going to get some sleep. You should too, you know were going to need it."

 

"Good idea. I'm right behind you."

 

They trotted up to their room and promptly fell asleep.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605]

Renegade had already woken up and was sitting down at breakfast with District 12's representative. Renegade was barely picking at his food. It seemed he was a bit...down about something. He let out a small sigh of unhappiness. "Have you ever felt, you know, kind of depressed sometimes?" he asked the representative.

[Darkshift 85]

Darkshift was awake as early as possible and ate a very healthy breakfast full of protein and calcium.He wanted to exercise immediately.So he traveled back into his room,then prepared himself for the day's activities mapping out every exercise he had planned for the day.

[Drago Ryder 641]

After a few minutes, Ivy walked out and noticed Tempest. She then smirked and got something to eat. "We should head down to the arena and train before the gamemakers judge us." She said, as she finished her breakfast.

 

Tempest nodded. "Let's go." He said, as the two of them trotted towards the arena. When they arrived, they were the only ponies to arrive yet and while Ivy practiced identifying plants, the cyan pegesus grabbed a pair of dual swords. The blades were heavy in his hands, but that wouldn't matter. In case anypony came in early, he made his swordsmanship as sloppy and off-balance as possible.

[Flash Bolt 11]

Flash Bolt was on the edge of his seat to see what the biome was going to be. Sometimes, they could really affect the outcome of your game. When he heard it was a mountain biome, he was glad that he could fly. "Good, at least I have some sort of advantage" he thought. But when the ruler pulled the mic back after the choosing of the biome, Flash Bolt knew something was going to happen.

 

***

 

When Flash Bolt heard that no magic or flight was allowed, he knew he was screwed. His main ability that made him good was flying, so now that he can't fly, he knew he had no chance. Sure, he was quick on his feet, but not nearly as fast as he would be if he was flying. He turned to the pony sitting beside him, and started to re-plan what they were going to do.

[Darkshift 85]

Darkshift entered the arena and noticed two of his competitors already exercising however he could see that the colt was horrific at swordsmanship this ace him more confident.Immediateky Darkshift wielded a bow and practiced."Perfect weapon,know one can sneak up to me and attack in the snow,So a range weapon is best"Darkshift whispered admiring the well-crafted weapon.

[NocturnalRainbow 248]

Nocturne and Sky Dreamer were back in the training arena, training for the imminent judging by the gamemakers.

 

"Do you think we have a shot at good ratings?" asked Sky Dreamer

 

"I don't know... I think some explosions might do the trick. I bet they haven't seen to many bomb-makers..." said Nocturne

 

"Do you think you can make a bomb with what they give you?" asked Sky Dreamer

 

"Oh. I always find a way... What are you going to do?" asked Nocturne

 

"I'm not sure... I think I might do archery, I've been practicing and I've gotten pretty good." said Sky Dreamer

 

"Okay, sounds like a plan! Now let's get training!" said Nocturne

 

They dashed off and continued training. Hoping they would have the skills and the know-how to pull off good ratings.

[Drago Ryder 641]

At 3, the tributes were escorted out of the arena by guards, and taken back to the hotel. Soon, tributes from each district were called back to the arena, Temoest and Ivy both knew what this ment. The gamemakers would score them based on what they deemed worthy. "This is going to be fun." Tempest said to Ivy, as they sat in their hotel room,

 

Ivy shrugged. "Maybe for you, but I can't use magic." She said.

 

Tempest simply smiled. "They'll probably let you use magic if the games last to long." He said. "Just try your best."

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605]

As Renegade walked to the arena, he felt nervous. Was he worthy? What if he was rejected? He began sweating furiously. "Ibneed to not be so nervous." he said to himself, wiping some sweat off his forehead. He hoped he was worthy of participating in the Hunger Games. If he wasn't, he would feel as though he disappointed not just himself, but also his district.

[Drago Ryder 641]

The gamekeepers watched as Renegade walked into the arena. "You may begin any time you are ready." One said. "Also, there is no rejection. This will only determine how many sponsors you will get."

 

(The order of the districts during judging is from greatest to least, at least for this one.)

[_ShadeMoon_ 1]

Shade Moon hurried out of her hotel room and into the arena. She got a last minute message that they were assigned to go. As she started to gallop into the hallways, she saw they were already starting. Her heart raced as she noticed she forgot to train. She skidded to a stop where the others were and sat down gently. Shade knew this was a moment she had to concentrate on her special skill. She watched as Renegade was on the stand. She decided to show the judges how she fought, in hoof to hoof combat. Now for a dummy I can use for my presentation... Shade thought.

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson and twinkle sat next to each other in silence as they waited for their turn to be judged, crimson also quietly made a mental note of all the opponents physical condition as he looked at them, smiling to himself, "some of these idiots don't look half bad in a fight, maybe this could be a challenge for me after all..." Thought crimson.

[Ihei 713]

Minty knew she was late for the training, and that was why she was running frantically through the halls toward the arena. She had a special skill already; she just needed to get to the arena in time. She eventually got to the arena. She stood and watched a tribute fire an arrow to impress the Gamemakers. "Tough competition.."

[synangel 25]

Stone and synangel walked into the training fields with the rest of the group. Synangel looked nervous, the bueatiful white Pegasus wasn't ready for something like this, but stone was, she was so ready to show district 2 could kick some flank. And that's what she was going to do.

[Drago Ryder 641]

The gamemakers wrote a few notes down. "You are good to go." One said, before grabbing a microphone. "The next tribute is Tempest Sol."

 

The cyan pegesus smirked, and walked into the main floor of the arena, as Renegade was leaving. "This should be fun." He thought. Tempest then smirked as he grabbed a pair of dual swords and cleared his mind. He then noticed a slab of meat on a hook. He then unleashed several quick and rapid slices and cuts. When he was finished, the meat was reduced to tiny cubes. His form and balance were both impeccable. He then walked away, as Ivy entered and demonstrated her hoof to hoof combat skills. She and Tempest then went back to their hotel

[synangel 25]

Stone rolled her eyes at ivy, she was a show off. "Phhft....show off" she said to herself. She was so amped to show the judges what she could really do. She was so excited.

 

All synangel knew was acrobatics, that was really it. It made her a hard target to hit, and also gave quick get aways, this could wow the judges.

[Fizz. 1,078]

Serenity shuffled to the judges. She waved at them for half a second, before realizing her mistake and stopping. Looking at the table of weapons sitting next to her, she picked up a small knife, and weakly threw it at the target. It bounced off and clattered to the floor.
