*The hovercraft lands, and the tributes are immediately escorted into the area under the arena by Peacekeepers. Everyone looks nervous as they are brought into their respective room. For some, their mentor comes to visit, others are left behind. Most tributes walk over to the wardrobe, expecting to find just one tribute outfit, but instead found lots of clothes, which have clearly been split into four sections:
T-Shirts
Jackets
Pants
Shoes
Realizing that for once they have the ability to customize what they wear for the arena, the tributes quickly start rooting through, trying to find something they think would work. By the end of the hour, every tribute is wearing something different to their fellow tributes. The most notably dressed people are Onika, who is wearing a bright pink jacket, Claritin, who is wearing just about every colour in the rainbow, and Tommy, who for some reason decided to wear all white. Other tributes wear camo clothes, meanwhile, others wear the colour of their District*
Logan: Shit...
*Logan is the last to get dressed as the tube call enters its final minute. He spent too much time eating from the fruit bowl and crying. He quickly pulls out clothing at random, quickly getting dressed into a blue jacket with ridiculously tight jeans. He immediately seems to regret his choice, but time is up, and Peacekeepers quickly rush into his room to get him into his tube*
----------THE BLOODBATH----------
*As the tributes rise into the arena, the first thing they notice is the trees. Looking to their feet, they see neatly cut grass. The trees have clearly been planted in a symmetrical pattern. To the East, a row of large blue houses can be seen stretching down a street. To the South, a large stone building looms. To the West, a row of shops can just be made out, and to the North, an old building with a large glass front stands*
50...49...48...
*Tributes immediately begin looking around the cornucopia. The trees block out the worst of the sun, allowing their eyes to adjust quickly*
35...34...33...
*Shaft looks over to find Meil, so is standing on the furthest left platform, Ali standing to her right. He seems to be trying to intimidate Meil*
26...25...24...
*The careers quickly locate each other, each one eyeing the other uneasily. It was clear from the start that the careers would never function as a group*
19...18...17...
*Sebastian looks for anyone he knows out of the crowd, eventually picking out Johanna's three podiums to his left. He smiles at her, but Johanna doesn't notice, her eyes locked on the cornucopia ahead*
10...9...8...
*Soren and Pia stand directly next to each other. Neither seems to be interested in the cornucopia, both instead eyeing the blue house at the end of the long street*
5...4...3...
*Ahmada nervously looks over to Adaline, she is breathing heavily and looks like she wants to faint. Ahmada quickly readies her hands in front of her face, just in case*
2...1...GOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGGGG
*Carnage breaks out as tributes run in all directions, some fleeing out of the cornucopia as fast as possible, others running inwards. The camera picks up Adaline as she grabs a loaf of bread and a water bottle, not even looking at her competition, and running towards the large stone building behind her*
---
*Rocky trips over, clearly winding her. She quickly tries to get up, but a large figure grabs her, and before she can even scream, Ali quickly breaks Rocky's neck, watching her body drop to the ground*
BOOM!
*Chris reaches the cornucopia, quickly grabbing a spear. As he grabs it, a knife comes hurtling into the side of his head, and he quickly drops to the floor. The cameras just pick up on Onika and Trinian running from the cornucopia, a throwing knife bag in Onika's hands*
BOOM!
*As Mark runs, he suddenly sees Rocky's dead body. A tear comes to his eye, but he keeps running, a plastic container filled with cheese in his hands*
---
*As Contessa picks up a knife, she quickly looks to her left to see Ari strangling Char, her District partner. She lets out a scream, sprinting at Ari with full force, knocking him to the ground. Ari tries to kick her off, but Contessa already has her knife in her hand, and she starts angrily stabbing Ari's throat*
BOOM!
*Contessa quickly looks to Char. He suddenly points in the Direction of the shops and Contessa nods, the pair sprinting out of the cornucopia*
---
*Tam and Tommy run around the cornucopia, Tam screaming when she sees Ahmada. Ahmada seems to be just as terrified as Tam and Tommy, and the two parties stand, looking at each other for about three seconds*
Ahmada: The houses...
*Everyone seems to come back to their senses*
Tam: Mind if we....come with you?
Ahmada: That idiot partner of mine was meant to meet me here after he got some supplies but...you'll probably do better than him anyways
*The trio run off in the direction of the houses, disappearing out of sight just as Logan turns the corner to the back of the cornucopia*
---
*Johanna quickly scrambles onto the cornucopia, a spot that has become popular in the last few games, but svcreams as Arie jumps up*
Arie: I knew someone would come up here!
*Johanna screams, jumping back from the cornucopia. A loud crack is heard as she hits the ground. Arie slides down the cornucopia, grabbing a knife and quickly slicing Johanna's throat*
BOOM!
*Molly looks from inside the cornucopia. Despite her district partner dying, she's defended the cornucopia very well, scaring off anyone that tries to get a weapon. She suddenly sees the District 4 tributes trying to attack Claudia. Molly lines up a shot, throwing a spear, then another. The first spear goes straight through Claritin's brain. Silvermist screams, but before she can reach, the second spear goes straight through her brain as well*
BOOM!
BOOM!
*Claudia screams, quickly spotting Molly lining up another shot. She quickly jumps to the floor, the spear barely missing her. Without hesitation, Claudia grabs it, running off towards the large stone building*
---
*As more people either die or flee, shaft spots Meil struggling to carry half a dozen loaves of bread. He then notices Ali seemingly sneaking up behind her*
Shaft: RUN!
*Upon hearing Shaft's shouts, Meil drops the bread, breaking out in a run towards Shaft. Ali yells, charging at the pair. Shaft quickly grabs Molly, running around the cornucopia where Logan is still standing*
Logan: Woah...
*Ali seems to have lost interest, charging back into the bloodbath*
Logan: Your fine...
*Logan reaches out to try and comfort Meil, but Shaft quickly yanks her arm, the pair sprinting away towards the shops. Logan quickly looks around, making a break for the glass-fronted building*
---
*Sebastian quickly looks for anything he could possibly use. He grabs a small knife, running with a mystery backpack out of the cornucopia, and off to the blue houses. At the other ends of the cornucopia, Freedrick quietly sneaks away towards the stone building*
---
*Molly finally leaves her position, running for the large stone building where she thinks she saw most tributes go. She looks behind her to see Ali circling the cornucopia structure like a shark, Arie still on top taunting him*
Molly: One final kill wouldn't hurt...
*Molly suddenly readies her bow. She lines the shot up. It wouldn't be an easy shot, as she had run 100 meters from the cornucopia. She grinned, letting the arrow fly*
BOOM!
*Arie's body suddenly falls from the top of the cornucopia, an arrow in her brain. Ali looks for the killer, but Molly has already disappeared*
----------THAT NIGHT----------
*The faces of the fallen tributes are shown in the sky*
The Boy from 1
The Girl from 3
The Girl from 4
The Boy from 4
The Girl from 6
The Boy from 6
The Girl from 8
*As the anthem ends, the cameras show each tribute's position in the arena, before the night-mode cameras come on. Something visibly moves in the dark*
----------THE SHOPS----------
*Char notices the movement. He is taking the first watch as Contessa sleeps. He quickly wakes her*
Char: There's someone moving out there...
Contessa: You woke me for movement? Get down from the window and they won't see you!
Char: I don't think it's a tribute though...
Contessa: If you want to set a pack of mutts on yourself...go right ahead!
*Char sighed, looking out of the window again. This time he definitely sees something*
Char: Oh my god...
Contessa: What the fuck now?
*Char slowly gets to his feet*
Contessa: We're gonna get seen if you do that?
*Char, without saying a word, moves over to the door*
Contessa: Char?
*Char opens the door stepping outside. Contessa visibly has no intention of going after him*
Contessa: Char...get back in here!
*Char doesn't answer; Contessa slowly moves to the door, taking a peak out. Char has walked down to the street. He stands perfectly still, looking at something*
Contessa: What the-
*Suddenly, Char begins screaming. Contessa slams the door closed, not wanting to look. Everyone in the arena hears Char's screams of agony, nobody willing to investigate. After a minute of agonizing screams, a cannon sounds*
BOOM!
*The face of the boy from 5 appears in the sky*
----------END OF EPISODE----------
Thank you for sticking around! RIP to all the people that died, I swear, Random.Org hates District 4 and District 6...We had some robberies today
And yes, Suburban Nightmare won the vote with 67% of the vote! Medieval castle came second with 28%, and Twisted Cave finished third with just 6%
The heat's only turning up from here...things come out after dark, and Char certainly won't be their last victim...
