MLP Hunger Games
Hello everyone! My name is Night Princess, and welcome to the first annual P&F Hunger Games! I shall be your host for this evening, and for the next few weeks, we shall follow everything that goes on, from the opening Bloodbath to the "Sure to be Outstanding" ending. We'll follow every bit of action to make sure you have a truely memorable experience!
The backstory for The MLP Hunger Games is a truely horrific one.
When the first MLP season was being made, many of the characters felt that they had to have a big fanbase to keep their first season on television. Lauren Faust, ruler of All Ponies told these characters that it was Hasbro's choice to keep the season on a mostly unknown channel, but the characters didn't buy that. They started an uprising, trying to find as many channels as possible to play their show, but they didn't even get out of the drawing board room before the creator caught them and threw them back into the paper in which they were created.
However, consequences were in order. So, Lauren divided the MLP characters into 12 groups, and each year, starting April 6 (Don't ask ME why, I'm just the announcer!), a male and female in each group, older than a foal but not elderly, be put into an arena and fight to the death.
That story gives me the shudders just saying it out loud! However, we shall stop living in the past, as it's time to announce the rules!
Each team shall have a stallion and a mare entered by how popular they are on the show.
Magic, flying, and agriculture talents are allowed.
Before the event, the 24 contestants will be rated from 0-12 based on athletic ability, intelligence, and so on.
Only one victor shall be named.
Now, the Interesting Part! What if YOU want a pony to win, but the pony you're cheering for is a dumb loser who can't even eat one dot in Pac-Man without messing it up? Well, I'm glad you asked. For you see, every day in the arena, a user can send one minor gift, such as bread, decent medicine, etc, to the person they're cheering for. So, everytime another day happens in this competition, you can send another contestant a gift! Just comment on this story to submit a gift! However, do NOT send idiotic stuff like "Magical healing powder that can revive any contestant from the dead and heal all of his/her wounds", or "Magical killing powder to hurt my least favorite contestants", that SHALL NOT be accepted. Here is a list of items (Not a full list) you can send to your favorite contestant:
*Bottle of Water
*Switch Knife
*Bread
*An Arrow (Only if Contestant has a Bow)
*Decent Medicine for Any Wound Except for Major Internal Bleeding
*And anything else that's reasonable.
If you ask to send anything unreasonable, like a gun or a Season 1 MLP: Friendship is Magic DVD, I shall not give the item to the contestant. If you want to send an item to a contestant but you're not sure if it's reasonable, send me a message.
I know what you're thinking: "Gee Ms Night Princess, that sure is a lot of stuff, but when do we learn about the contestants"? Well, silly reader/viewer/hater, I have one more thing: Read the novels and/or watch the movie. You'll follow this much easier afterwords. Now, to the contestants.
......... Wait, you read the novels already? AND THE MOVIE? Well, you're much smarter than I, as it took me a week to read the first book, and 2 1/2 hours to watch the movie! Oh, well, as you may know, there is a "Reaping", where a draw is to be had to discover who shall be in the competition. Well, the show itself doesn't have a great amount of kid characters, so it's obvious who'll get it, but that's besides the point. Here are the teams and contestants.
Team one: Male: Pony Joe. Female: Gilda the Griffon.
Team two: Male: Big Macintosh. Female: Fluttershy.
Team three: Male: Shining Armor. Female: Pinkie Pie.
Team four: Male: Flim. Female: Rarity.
Team five: Male: Spike. Female: Twilight Sparkle.
Team six: Male: Fancy Pants. Female: Rainbow Dash
Team seven: Male: Soarin'. Female: Applejack
Team eight: Male: Caramel. Female: Spitfire.
Team nine: Male: Braeburn. Female: Lyra.
Team Ten: Male: Snowflake. Female: Apple Bloom.
Team Eleven: Male: Snips. Female: Scootaloo.
Team Twelve: Male: Snails. Female: Sweetie Belle.
You don't like those choices? Oh wait, nevermind, your opinion is invalid.
Well, those are some interesting choices right there. I wonder who'll win? Well, that shall be discovered soon enough. But for now, we shall discuss the RATING SYSTEM. "But gee, Ms. Night Princess person ma'am, I don't know nothing about ratings, can you explain it to me?" Well, sure I can, you silly goose. Like I said, every contestant shall show off one of their skills, and the few judges shall rank you from 1-12. What's the point of this? To make the good contestants open targets, of course. So, let's see what everyone got, shall we?

Wow, those scores were great! Of course, with a few exceptions, but I still feel this year's games will be the best games yet! With such great scores, it'll be a bloodbath starting up! Anyways, before we end this for a while, let me just say that if you want to send a gift, you can send only one gift to only one contestant every event day. Don't send gifts yet though, the pony you send it too might not make it out of the first day! Check back after a while for more info, if not the first day of the competition itself will be released. So, see you in a few. - 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?
