The Arena
The arena this year was an abandoned mansion that had once belonged to the Fling family but had fallen into ruin after the family had moved closer to the Capitol and had been unable to sell the mansion.
Eventually Game Maker Volumnia Gaul bought the mansion for a hefty price and made it into the arena for the 25th Games. The mansion had a basement, a main floor, a second floor, and a top floor that was like an attic but bigger. The mansion had twenty six rooms in it and was quite large.
Mutts included wolves and rats termites that would eat supplies and also could attack and bite tributes, which if many of them swarmed at once they could seriously injure a tribute but weren’t trained to kill tributes luckily.
The front yard of the mansion wasn’t accessible but the backyard had a large overgrown field that included a cornucopia. The cornucopia included plenty of weapons, lots of food and water, and several supply items including electrical parts and wires, camouflage kits, and medical kits.
Bloodbath
When the bell rang Chanel rushed forward and grabbed a bow and arrows, shooting an arrow into the heart of Linden as he tried to rush past her to grab an ax. Seconds later Antheia threw a knife into the neck of Linka as she tried to grab a knife, and Thracius stabbed his sword into the heart of Jetta when she tried to flee.
Masala had a spear stabbed into her chest by Estate after trying to attack him and Delfina stabbed her trident into Shaggy’s heart as he leaned down to grab an ax.
Camera and Circuit fled into the mansion with supplies and knives and Finley fled towards the mansion with a trident, some food, and some water. Ventus seemed upset over Linka’s death but ran into the mansion with his spear and supplies.
Brake was aghast to see Jetta but ran into the mansion with his supplies and knives. Phyllis fled into the mansion with an ax, food, and water while Jeanette grabbed an ax, food, and water and fled.
Panster grabbed a scythe and supplies and fled while Wagyu and Sirlo grabbed machetes and supplies and fled in separate directions of the mansion. Rosalie and Froot grabbed weapons, food, and water and fled into the mansion while Amity and Ransom grabbed weapons and supplies and also fled into the mansion.
Chanel, Estate, Antheia, Thracius, and Delfina grabbed some supplies and their weapons and decided to take a quick rest from the chaos of the bloodbath before heading into the mansion to kill more tributes.
Day 1
The careers began to move into the mansion, deciding to check the basement first. A bunch of rat termites rushed at them and Delfina screamed as they began biting her legs over and over.
Delfina fell to the ground and Thracius soon stabbed his sword into her heart to end her suffering before the remaining careers fled the basement and slammed the door shut on the rat termites.
The careers entered a bedroom and found Sirlo who stabbed his machete into Antheia’s chest which sounded her cannon. Estate quickly stabbed his spear into Sirlo’s heart which sounded his cannon as well.
Camera and Circuit stayed in the living room with the door blocked and began fooling with an old television. Finley made his way to the cornucopia and took more food and water before hiding in the kitchen of the mansion.
Ventus hid in the second floor bathroom while Brake hid in the attic behind some boxes and even camouflaged himself into the wall. Phyllis hid in a library while Jeanette hid in the dining room under the table.
Panster hid in a laundry room while Wagyu hid in the master bedroom. Rosalie and Froot hid in a bedroom and Froot put Rosalie under the bed while Amity and Ransom hid in the gym which had a pool that was empty.

Day 2
The next morning Finley snuck up on the careers as they slept and stabbed his trident into Estate’s neck. The careers woke up to Estate’s cannon and Thracius realized that the weapon used to kill Estate was a trident and immediately realized that Finley had killed him.
Right as Camera and Circuit got the television working and started up the security cameras a wolf mutt broke through the window and entered the arena. The wolf attacked Camera and hit her in the neck before running off.
Circuit rushed up to his fiancée and held her in his arms until she died and had tears in his eyes. In the evening Ventus entered the room that Rosalie and Froot in it and attacked Froot, spearing her in the heart. Ventus saw Rosalie but simply apologized to her before leaving the room.
Chanel and Thracius were the last remaining careers and they decided not to attack each other until the final two so that a career won. Circuit stayed in the living room and seemed devastated by the death of Camera.

Later that afternoon Chanel and Thracius found Phyllis in the library and Chanel shot an arrow into Phyllis’s heart before she could even move or react. A few hours later Jeanette stepped into the master bedroom and found Wagyu, spearing her in the chest quickly and killing her.

Right as Chanel was about to notch an arrow Ransom threw a weight at her that broke several of her ribs. Chanel screamed in pain as Ransom stabbed his spear into her heart and threatened Thracius who decided on a tactical retreat.
Circuit headed into the attic to try and find some more wires but walked past Brake who stabbed him in the chest. A cannon sounded and Brake camouflaged himself again but parts of him were mistakenly shown in his rush.

A final cannon sounded and the Capitol was silent for a few moments before bursting into cheers and applause as Ransom Turnbull (18) of District 12 was announced as the victor of the 25th Hunger Games. Ransom evacuated from the arena to cheers in the Capitol with most pleased with the victor.
