Yes yes, you guessed it! A fanfic, but instead of The Hunger Games, the Creature Games have arisen! A fight to the death where 12 young creatu are elected to go and fight, the winner getting praise and prizes, the losers though, get death.
~~Intro~~
The four planets are struggling to keep well, Uldavi has taken over, and mysterious robots flood the streets of Relcore, Scria, Reiflem, and Atquati. No where is safe, and the inhabitants of these planets are trapped. All eggs have been taken, all food has been stored. Items are only available by request, and nobody is happy. Welcome, To Rescreatu. A place where fun and games, are no longer fun, or games.
Chapter 1
~~~~~~
Melody awoke with a start, the nightmare again, no doubt. Struggling she urged her legs to carry her, and the pygmy Omni padded over to her sweet smelling food. A soft creak sounded above her, and her owner came walking down the stairs, black hair falling like a burnt nest on her head. Purple circles sat under her tired gray eyes, damp from crying.
"Big day today, huh Melody?" Said the girl sarcastically.
Melody rubbed against her owner's legs and proceeded to eat her food, the Election always leaves every creatu coming home hungry and sweaty. Well, not every creatu. The 3 creatu from each planet are taken to Uldavi, where they are pampered and trained before being thrown into an arena, and from there, a fight to the death.
The square was not large. What used to be Adagu City was now a small clearing of stone, with several shops that sold the basic staples; wheat, eggs, milk, and the little meat there was left. The creatu were gathered there, sitting before a small stage, where two important people sat on either side a a large container, undoubtedly full of slips of paper, where each creatu's name was written in precise lettering and folded in half. The mayor of Relcore sat in one chair, perspiration dripping from his large, bushy moustache. He was a plump man, and insisted on wearing suits three sizes too large. A large green robot sat in the other, with bright alien-like purple eyes glowing under it's helmet. Layers upon layers of molded metal made up its suit, making it practically unbreakable. Off the stage sat the rows and rows of creatu. After age 10, they were added to the container, each year adding one more slip. Once the creatu turned 25 they were taken out, and the remaining creatu were allowed to get jobs and start a life, as 25 was the age creatu were adults.
Melody struggled to see over the heads of her fellow creatu. She was a pygmy after all, but the robots stuck her in her age group, the 14 year olds. Every owner was forced to sit on the outside of the fenced area, and two more robots guarded the gates. She watched as the mayor feebly walked to the microphone, tapped it twice, and began to speak.
"Hello dear citizens. It's a big day today, The Election, in fact! Three brave creatu between the ages of 10 and 25 will be chosen to compete in this year's Creature Games! The wondrous planet of Uldavi hosts these games every year, without fail! The winner of the games, get praise, prizes, fame, and fortune! Now wouldn't that be wonderful?" More sweat was dripping off his moustache now, and his eyes shifted nervously back and forth between the large robot and the note card containing his speech in his shaking hands.
"Without further ado, let's find our special creatu for this year's games!"
Sticking his hand in the bowl, the mayor grabbed a couple slips of paper, three to be exact. He read the names aloud, relaxing more with each name.
"Gerfred Mujerfry!" He exclaimed, watching the large black Zaphao climb the wooden stairs, bright yellow energy crackling between his horns. He was masculine, yet the excess fat he had shook as he walked.
"Our second creatu, Liam Courned!" The mutant Otachie walked proudly up the stairs, his natural brown and red fur swaying with each step. Sitting next to the Zaphao he winked at his mate, a cute blonde Mirabilis five rows back.
"And for our last contestant of the night, Please welcome to the stage, Melody Fergan!"
Time seemed to freeze for Melody. Everyone in the crowd had turned their heads to catch a glimpse of the small pygmy Omni, her fins trembling. She padded up to the stage, and saw her owner for barely a moment before the three creatu were ushered to a spaceship. They were thrown on board and Melody watched as Adagu City shrinked below her.
"I didn't even get to say goodbye." She whispered to herself, before breaking down into tears and collapsing on the floor.
So that was the first chapter! I hope it was fairly entertaining, please tell me if you would like to see some more chapters!
