Hermitcraft Hunger Games

The Games Begin...

----| No One's POV |----

The hermits waited in confusion as a the bars to their cages vanished. There were pressure plates all around the ground. Seeing an opportunity, a few hermits hopped down from the cages only to be blown to pieces as they exploded.

"The first deaths," Grian commented, seeing TFC, Beef, and Jevin killed.

Quickly realizing the situation, many froze.

"Grian, why are we in the Hunger Games?" asked Ren.

"Because it's fun!" Grian said.

"Fun? The Hunger Games are like the exact opposite of fun, Grian!" Doc said.

"Good lu-uck!" sang Grian as the horn sounded.

Many hermits ran away, but many stayed near the central altar. False stabbed Cub and Scar after they tried to sneak up on her.

"Ooh, more de-ath!" Grian said from above.

"Grian, are you insane?" yelled Xisuma, who'd managed to find a shulker box full of food.

"Maybe! But isn't it- AaAaaAAaaAaagGGghHhh!" His words were interrupted by a yell as an arrow pierced his wing. He landed roughly on the ground. The shooter, Doc, ran over to finish him off, but was quickly stopped by an arrow through his chest as Mumbo defended his friend from the cyborg. 

Running over to Grian, who was now safe from the dead Doc, Mumbo helped him up and the two ran away into the rest of the arena.

Left alone without Grian, Xisuma decided to have some fun. 

"False!" he called. The arrow she had been aiming at Cleo missed to hit Hypno instead, killing him instantly. She whipped around and shot a missile at Xisuma, which he dodged. The arrow landed harmlessly in a tree behind Xisuma.

"False, wanna team up?" he asked, dodging another arrow. 

She stopped to consider. "Why would I team with you?" she asked, firing an arrow elsewhere, hitting a fleeing Etho in the back and murdering him.

"Because I have food, and also I can get more food for you. I want to get revenge on Grian," he explained. Luckily, she'd stopped firing.

"Revenge? Now that I like the sound of," she said. Walking over to him, she nodded and told him, "I'm in. Come on." She turned and ran off into the forest, Xisuma following behind.

No hermits remained by the altar. Wels, Bdubs, Ren, Cleo + Joe, Stress, Keralis, and team ZIT had run off into the arena. Sometime during the Bloodbath, xB had been killed as well.

----| Outside The Arena: Scar's POV |----

"Cub!" Scar called, seeing his friend outside the giant arena.

"Scar! Hey," Cub said.

"I had the best idea. Let's be the announcers! You know, fire the cannon shots, send in gifts, comment on what's going on?" Scar said.

"Like in the war?" Cub grinned. "I'm in! Let's build some walkways above the arena so we can see what's going on. Also, an announcer's booth!"

Five hours and many blocks later, a series of walkways were set up, linked to a suite of towers around the arena's edge, from which they could shoot cannons and record their commentary.

"Well, folks, we're off to an interesting start," Scar began. "A real bloodbath at the altar, but no deaths after the hermits ran off! Looks like some teams are forming! Oh, wow, it's nightfall. Time for today's cannons!"

"Today's fallen are Beef, Jevin, TFC, Doc, myself- Cub, Scar, Etho, Hypno, and xB," Cub said, shooting nine cannons into the night.

"We'll be back tommorrow with more updates on what's going on in the arena!" Scar finished.

"That was fun," Cub commented. "Just like Season Six again."
