//------------------------------// // Days One and Two // Story: The My Little Pony Hunger Games // by Night Princess //------------------------------// -Day One- The scenery is a forest, as expected, and it's pretty sunny, probably the brighten up the faces of the contestants. Gifts lie inside a gold structure, where only the bravest shall attempt to reach the best gifts of all. There was plenty of gifts outside the structure too, for the less brave, so they don't lose all hope in getting something. Finally, after about a minute of waiting, a horn goes off. Several contestants run for the best gifts in the structure, but most try to get the lesser gifts without having a good chance at death inside the structure. Pinkie Pie gets a bow and arrow, Twilight Sparkle gets a spear, Big Mac gets two knives, and Flim gets a shield, and they all rocket out of the field. Inside the structure, Gilda grabs a bow and arrow and shoots the nearest person, who happens to be  Shining Armor, as he was picking up a backpack just outside the entrance. Gilda quickly runs off after that attack, and Rarity and Flim both run in. Rarity grabs a knife and Flim grabs a rope, as Flim gets Rarity the ground as he tries to strangle her, but she stabs him twice with the knife and runs off as well. By this point, more and more people run out of the field and several attempt to try going in the structure, all with success except Lyra, who had her throat slit by Pony Joe. Man, so little people died! Well, we'll have to put a stop to that! Maybe we should have an earthquake.. Many of the contestants are either looking for shelter or already have it, but they're shocked to feel the ground suddenly shaking. Several contestants run away from falling debris, like rocks and trees, but several aren't so lucky. The first one to go down was Sweetie Belle, who was looking for shelter, and started running when the earthquake began. Unfortunatly, a tree had landed on top of her, crushing her body until she suffocated. The next one to go down was Caramel, who was crushed by boulders falling from a steep cliff. Finally, Spitfire  was crushed by a tree as well, but she took longer to suffocate because the tree wasn't as heavy, but it eventually done her in. That's better, isn't it? Maybe, just maybe though, we can end this day off with a bang. Something so huge that readers will be FORCED to check it tomorrow... Oh, I got an idea. Soarin is walking in the woods with a bow and arrow and a backpack when suddenly he felt a millisecond of heat. He looked around for a few seconds and then continued walking. Several seconds later, a jolt of lightning shows up right in front of him. He drops his bow and arrow and runs as fast as he can, but he doesn't make it far as another jolt of lightning strikes both him and the tree next to him, which causes the tree to burst into flames. Well, if the lightning didn't kill him, the fire sure will! Haha! Well, let's check in on our contestants that are still alive to see how they're doing. *Big Mac, Fluttershy, Applejack, and  Rarity are in an alliance, and are currently hiding near a lake.   *Gilda and Pinkie are also in an alliance, with both of them secretly planning on stabbing the other in the back. They are in a cave. *Snips and Snails are in an alliance and are looking for nice people to join. *Spike is also near the lake, but further away from Mac, Fluttershy, AJ, and Rarity. *Braeburn is in an alliance with Snowflake, as Snowflake wants brains in his group and Braeburn wants more muscle.  *Rainbow Dash is in a log. Weird hiding spot, but OK. *Twilight is looking for Spike, but stopped for a while after she realized Shining Armor's death. She cried for about two hours. *Scootaloo is hunting worms and dead mice. She's doing pretty well. *Apple Bloom is in a tree, with no weapons, supplies or confidence. She's planning on finding her sister.  -Day Two- Well, this is the beginning of Day 2, and before we get to how our characters are doing, let me just say something: Thank you for checking this out, the creators worked really hard on it, and the fact it's doing well really shocked me. So, thank you. Well, enough of that sappy idiot stuff, it's time for some UPDATES! *Braeburn and Snowflake have finally found shelter, and shortly after, they had found a Switchblade, dropped by the now dead Spitfire They have little food, but Braeburn is looking for edible plants and tree bark. *Mac, AJ, Fluttershy, and Rarity have a first aid kit, a loaf of bread, and water. The only thing they lack is heat. *Gilda and Pinkie are lacking food, but are planning to hunt for animals to eat, and ponies, to steal their items. They also don't have heat. Gilda has also noticed the alliance of Big Mac and the rest. She is considering attacking them with her knife. *Snips and Snails are still looking for someone to be in an alliance with. *Apple Bloom  is lacking pretty much everything, and is still in the tree. *Scootaloo has hunted 3 worms and a dead mouse, but for SOME reason, she needs to drink something. *Rainbow is flying through the forest like an idiot because she started to get claustrophobic in the log. *Twilight is still grieving over Shining Armor, and is getting more and more vulnerable every second. *Spike is looking for shelter, and has no food.  Everyone is doing just swell, the beginning of Day 2, and nothing interesting is going on, except some weeping, what fun is that? Oh, wait a second, it seems Twilight is in an easy killing area! I wonder if she'll make it out. Rainbow is flying as fast as possible through the forrest, hoping to find shelter quickly, and as she runs through an open field, she notices something up in a tree. She quickly hides in a bush, waiting for it to move, but it doesn't. So Dash decides to climb the tree, because if she actually gets up there, it could make a good place to stay, and she might be able to get an extra kill! So, she climbs as fast as possible, which takes her about two minutes, and finally, when she gets to the branch with the weird object, she discovers it's Apple Bloom! She contemplates what to do, when her instincts take over. She grabs Apple Bloom's backpack, her bow and arrow, and her knife, and when the filly does wake up, she is falling out of the tree head first, with an arrow close behind. Ouch! Apple Bloom is dead. Now, let's see, how many more people do we got left.... 15? Yup, somewhere around 15. Well, I think we should wait until the end of the day to challenge someone's skill, but for now, let's check in on Twilight. She's been having difficulty since Shining died, but that also means anybody that hears her will get an easy kill, and isn't that what we all want? Let's see, she has a spear, and that's about it. Let's see how she's dealing with it. Twilight woke up several minutes ago, and she hasn't go up from the ground yet. Her face was still wet from the fast running tears, and her sobbing sounds were VERY loud. Suddenly, she heard a voice. She quickly crawled into the bushes until she heard the voice again. "Twilight?", asked another contestant. Twi must have knew it was Braeburn as she ran out in his arms, he hugging her, Twilight with tears still streaming down her face. "Shining Armor's gone," Twi said, her voice muffled by Braeburn's chest, which she buried her face into it. "I know", he said.  Ok, this is great and all, but weeping and romance is not what we want! We want entertainment! So, to cut it short, Twi met up with Braeburn and Snowflake,  and I guess they're going back to Braeburn's shelter, Whoop-De-Doo. What's going on now that's interesting? Oh, it seems that Pony Joe is going to attack Big Mac and friends. What will happen? Let's see... Pony Joe is hiding in the bushes, waiting for the group to be distracted so he can attack them. He sits there for about five minutes until suddenly, from the trees opposite of him, both he and the group hear a noise, as they prepare for the possible attack. Suddenly, out pop Snips and Snails! Mac and friends (That's their official nickname now, OK?) lower their defenses to greet the two when Joe realizes it's now or never. The donut pony jumps out of the bushes, and Snips warns the rest; "Look out!" Joe jabbed his knife three times into Rarity, twice in the shoulder and once in the chest, and as Rarity falls, he goes to Fluttershy, but Big Mac jabs Joe with both of his knives, and soon the golden stallion collapsed as well.  Rarity and Joe were dead before they hit the ground. That's what I'm talking about! Two deaths by nightfall! Now, to see how everyone reacts to the deaths, let's see the updates. Day Two updates! *Twilight, after discovering Rarity's death from the image of her face at the top of the arena, she cries even MORE, and Braeburn and Snowflake attempt to calm her, but to no avail, at least not today. (Man, Twi is getting a rough time, don'tcha think?) *Mac, Snips, Snails, and Fluttershy couldn't even stand to look at the corpses without crying even more, so Flutter hugged her best friend for literally two minutes before the body retriever transported the two bodies back to the game makers. A.K.A me and Faust. They have received 2 sleeping bags as well from Joe's backpack (Wait, 2 Sleeping Bags for 5 people? That's gonna be awkward) *Gilda and Pinkie do not prevail in catching food, and are currently starving, as are VERY thirsty. They're both planning on betraying each other as soon as possible.  *Scootaloo is close to dead. Guess those worms aren't doing her good, eh? *Rainbow is in a tree, but with all of Apple Bloom's previous items. *Spike is near the open field, with a decent shelter (a cave) that he found this morning. And so the day ends. Wow, what an interesting start! What will tomorrow bring?
