Title: End Game: Memorial Games 3
Author: GX7
Summary: President Paylor has been assassinated during the crowning of the victors for the third Memorial Games, now her killers have taken over Panem. Let the Hunger Games begin once more...
Author's Note: Thank you all for your support of the first two stories in this series. Now this is not going to be the last in the Memorial games series, I do have one last MG story planned and in that one I promise the story won't be centered on certain characters that have been the main focus of the current trilogy. It will focus on an all new cast of submitted characters and I will need new characters submitted. I hope I don't have to create anymore characters on my own. Oh and thanks to those who have given me permission to use their characters from Foreveryoursemma's Behind Enemy Lines and We Live As We Die.
Head Gamemaker: Tim Lansing's POV
I am so proud of the victors this year, not only did District 2 retain their victory from last year, but the Districts that have lost last year and the year before have finally won a Memorial Games. This year's games went so well. President Paylor and I walked up to the victors, with the other Gamemakers, all holding the crowns for this years list of fourteen victors. We all crown them as victors and the audience appludes.
However this moment of celebration is short lived, as a gunshot rings out crom across City Circle. Then I turn to see Paylor fall to the ground, a bullet wound in her forehead. President Paylor, the woman who changed Panem for the better was just assassinated...
Two Weeks Later...
I flip through the progress report on the Paylor investigation. Ever since her death, Panem has been placed under martial law by the Supreme Commander of the Peacekeepers. So far they still have no clue and nobody is taking responsiblity for the shooting. Well not until I'm told to turn on the TV to any news station, by a peacekeeper. I do so and see seven robed figures in black robes with hoods on the screen. The one in the very center keeps its identity concealed to the camera, as he or she begins a speech.
"Citizens of Panem... " The male voice said. "My name is Lucifer, and I'm here with my fellow members to take responsibility for the assassination of President Paylor, a beloved ruler if I do say so myself, but she had one flaw and that is the Memorial Games. Humanity can't escape their bloodlust, and abolishing the Hunger Games for these non lethal Games led to her undoing. We are your rulers now. We're declaring war on every Panem citizen that rejects our rule of this glorious nation. We will fight and destroy those who reject the other countries that are heading this way to help build a new global government in Panem, where the entire world will divide this nation and rule it their way. Plus we're reviving the Hunger Games. In the coming weeks, tributes will be reaped and trained, then released into the arena of our choosing, and we choose the arena from the 74th Hunger Games. There the tributes will fight to the death, but there will be one surprise twist that will be mentioned at the opening ceremony. Now here are the rules of these 76th Hunger Games."
1. All tributes must be reaped from all thirteen Districts and Capitol. Two boys and two girls of previous Memorial Game tributes, revived Hunger Games tributes, and victors from both games are eligible to be reaped.
2. For volunteers, anybody can volunteer, there is no official age requirement. The older the volunteer is, the better the secret stipulation will be.
3. As usual there will be three days of training, and this time there will be no laser gun training. All tributes will spend three days training in various weapons and survival skills. These course do include firearms training with real firearms.
4. This is the secret rule, and will be revealed by the Gamemakers at the opening ceremony.
"These are the rules citizens of Panem. We are the Gamemakers, and we are above you all! Good day Panem and may the odds be EVER in your favor!"
I sit back in my desk chair, stunned by what I just witnessed. I look at the peacekeeper and he looks at me with sympathy.
"What are we going to do now sir?" he asked.
"Well we just have to abide by their rules for now. But bring me all Phoenix Tributes immediately. I need to speak with them, oh and you should call in all Peacekeeper leaders here too. We have to have a strategy meeting."
"About what?"
"We're going to fight back. I don't think Paylor would want the entire world invading our country and definitely won't allow these Gamemakers to reinstate the Hunger Games. If I know her as well as I do, she'd want to fight back, to protect this nation from these terrorists."
"I know she will sir." the peacekeeper said before saluting and leaving my office. I sigh... This idea had better work.
Phoenix Tribute: Cato's POV
The other Phoenix Tributes and I enter Tim's office, along with the higher ups of the Peacekeepers and Panem's military. We all wonder why were all called from our Districts. However the only tributes missing is Rue and Thresh. Who couldn't make it to the Capitol in time, so they were told to meet in the private visiting rooms of the D11 Justice Building, where video conference equipment was set up for them to attend this meeting at D11.
Tim looks at us all and the two screens with Rue and Thresh's faces shown. Then he begins the meeting.
"I called you all here because of the Gamemakers announcement of war against us and the Hunger Games. This can't be allowed to happen. We all know President Paylor would not want this to happen. As of right now we're at war with the entire world. Every nation in this post apocalypse world is out to claim a piece of the Panem pie. We don't know what these countries are planning to achieve that goal, but we have to fight back. Though we're heavily outnumbered. As for the Hunger Games, I don't know what the Gamemakers are planning, but I do know I can't just sit on the sidelines while tributes kill each other. So I'm announcing to everyone present in this room and abroad, that I'm going to volunteer for Caligula's place in the Hunger Games. I don't want this announcement to leave this room ladies and gentlemen. You may be surprised by this decision, but I don't care what you think. I'm going to bring those tributes back alive and well, as I'm going to break them out of the arena. Then I'm going to hunt down these terrorists and make sure they never hurt anybody in Panem ever again."
"If you're going to volunteer, then I will too." Marvel said. "Unless I'm reaped. But nobody will take my place in the Games. I'm fighting by your side to the bitter end Tim."
"As will I." Rue said. "I have to enter these Games anyway, as there is no one else on the female side that has survived the Hunger Games, and my sister is the second girl tribute, so I must enter these games."
"Not unless someone volunteers for you Rue." Thresh said.
"I may even volunteer, someone must take Tony Howard's spot." I say.
"Either way a few of us are going to be helping you out in the arena Tim." Clove said.
I turn to Clove "Clove, if I'm going to volunteer or at least get reaped, please lead the remaining Phoenix Tributes to victory against the Gamemakers."
"We will, but we're going to help you get out of that arena." Clove replied.
Author's Comment: Okay here is what I need from you the readers. I still have openings for the following:
District 5 girl
District 6 boy
District 6 girl
District 7 boy
And that's all of the characters I need. So it's first come, first serve. Plus I'm still waiting on confirmation from Foreveryoursemma on permission to use Knox Overstreet. I'm pretty sure she'll allow me, but who knows. Though it is past the point of no return for her, as I'm already going to finish up the second chapter soon. Next chapter quite frankly is ALL of the reapings, rather than just do four chapters introducing with four POVs to each District, I'm just going to do them all, unless you want me to do four separate chapters for the Reapings. That is your call.
Before I forget, here is what I need for the submitted characters of the open slots:
Name
Age
District
Physical Description
That's all I need. I'm not going to bother with the other stuff, as it's a bit boring to write about to me. Who will survive this game of death and what is the secret rule? Why are these Gamemakers hiding their identities and doing a secret rule like the Quarter Quells? Read and find out.
