The final showdown!!!! O0O Let's get ready for this!!!

::Splash's POV::

Tributes:

Dodre

Splash

The Aussie puppy jumped back in surprise as a large pool,about the size of him,formed in front of his paws and glinted in the morning light.Fear churned in Splash's belly.If he didn't go in,he would certainly suffer grave consequences,but if he did,he would suffer a consequence worse than regular death...

I won't get out of here alive anyway,he thought.I might as well get this over with...

Taking the last breath he might ever take,he leaped into the pool as the arena disappeared behind him.

Splash emerged from the pool,gasping for air as the frozen water bit at the skin underneath his fur.His body shivered uncontrollably as he struggled to force his eyelids open.In front of him,he felt his heart skip because as he saw rows of O.C.s lined up in seats,cheering and howling as Dodre emerged from the other pool.His appearance spooked Splash.Battle-scarred,stained with blood,and with one torn ear and one missing,Dodre was definitely a sight to see.Animals placed bets on him and Dodre,most of them paying attention to Dodre.

What am I thinking?! Splash thought in terror,feeling himself tremble as Dodre barked out at the audience's wild cheering. He's about five times the size of me!I'll be killed within ten seconds!

This had all happened because of the Reaping.If only Black Paw had been able to save him.If only she could still fight like she used to.If only these Games never came into exsistence.

Splash's mind suddenly whirled.If I win the Games,I could start a rebellion...

However,Splash's thoughts were interrupted by Feather,whose starry image appeared in the middle of the two of the two canines."Welcome,Splash!Welcome,Dodre!Welcome,everyone,to the final showdown of the Third Annual Hunger Games!!"she yowled.The crowd cheered and screamed louder as she said this.

"This year's final two contestants are Splash from the Webkinzluver5 group!" she yowled as she introduced the Aussie.Cheers met his introduction.

"And Dodre from the xXIshehXx group!" she continued as the pointed a paw at Dodre.He got the same reaction,though it sounded noticeably louder.

People don't really think he's going to win,do they?! the Aussie thought in disbelief.

"These two canines will fight to the death to see which one will be crowned Victor for the Third Annual Hunger Games!The Victor who emerges from the fight in triumph will be rewarded graciously!And now,without any further delay,let the Final Showdown...COMMENCE!!!" Feather screamed,her image fading as the two canines circled each other in a wide circle,preparing to attack.

"I'm taking you down,pup," Dodre snarled,the scars on his snout showing clearly.

"Don't make threats you can't keep," Splash shot back.

Dodre shoved his ears forward,curling his lips into a devious grin."They're not threats, "he replied darkly." They're promises."

With that, Dodre lunged at the Aussie,snapping his jaws at him.Unable to think quicker,Splash dropped on his side and rolled out of the way,narrowly dodging the great wolf. Eyes blazing,Dodre charged at Splash again,this time grazing the dog's shoulder with his teeth.Yelping,Splash collapsed on his side,whimpering as he cast a glance at his shoulder.Blood oozed from his wound and it fiercely stung,but he gritted his teeth and did his best to fight through the pain.

"Ready to give up,pup?" Dodre taunted,snarling.

"I'm not a pup anymore!" Splash howled,forcing himself to get up and put his paw on the ground despite his shoulder protesting.

In a sudden collision,the two sprang at each other,barking out as each of them sank their teeth into the other's skin,snarling and growling with fury.The audience went wild,screaming for one to rip the other's throat out or destroy them.

Dust flew in Splash's face.He was about to scramble away from Dodr when a paw flew in front of his face,causing the little dog to cry out.The Aussie flew across the the sandy ground,his side being matted with sand.Letting out a low moan,Splash struggled to get up as Dodre padded towards him,baring his teeth at the Aussie.

"I would love to be at your funeral,but not-so-sadly,I'll be celebrating my victory in my O.C. group while you watch from the sky," he wooded,glaring at Splash with malicious looking eyes.

No.It won't end like this! Splash vowed.

"For the O.C.s!!" Splash howled,getting up and running towards Dodre at full speed,forcing himself to move forward despite his muscles' protests,then leaped at Dodre's neck,clamping his jaws around it and sinking his teeth in deep,feeling blood well around his snout as Dodre let a bloodcurdling yowl of pain and fell to the ground,gasping for air with his paws scrabbling in the sand.

"You...t-think you a-are so cl-cl-clever,pup," Dodre rasped at him,spitting out the word 'pup' like it was poison, glaring daggers at Splash."B-But know t-this:i-in the f-f-future,you won't g-get out of the Games...."He paused to draw in a shaky breath."...So easily."With that, the male wolf's pale green eyes glazed over as a thin trickle of blood escaped his mouth.

A long pause lasted over the audience before they finally went wild and chanted the name of the annual Hunger Games.Most smiled,most cried,some booed and hissed,mainly the animals whom had placed a bet and lost.

"Splash!Splash!Splash!Splash!" the audience chanted, shouting out in celebration.Splash folded his ears against his head,trying to keep out the deafening sound as he thought about how the O.C.s at home would react.

I hope they still welcome me.I'll have to start a rebellion,and I'll need all the help I can get.

Feather suddenly appeared out of a pool,and her arrival struck Splash with fear.Her tan fur gleamed in the bright daylight,and her strikingly green eyes seemed to glow.Every instinct in Splash screamed at him to run away as far as he could(not that he could go far,anyway),but he forced himself to stay rooted to his spot and to not whimper as Feather padded gracefully towards him and raised a paw and announced,"Splash from the Webkinzluver5 Crew has won the Third Annual O.C. Hunger Games!"

Splash could feel triumph and pride flood through him.So this was what it was like for the past victors to win the Games.The admiration and support from the crowd after they had defeated their foe.

But even though Splash had this and was soon to get more,there was one last thing he had to do to fully complete his quest to survive the games...
