Here it is! This is my version of the Warriors hunger games. To my utter disbelief, most renditions of this crossover were never completed. I chose to start this because a stunning number of... Wait for it... 2 people voted on my poll, and both chose this. The long overdue episode of the Hollyleaf and Ivypool show should be up by this weekend, and I have a very special event planned for one of the future episodes! ;) But sit back and enjoy my story!

The Dark Forest was back. Mapleshade gazed down triumphantly at the Clans, Tigerstar next to her and Brokenstar on the other side.

"This is how it will work, crowfood," she hissed. Some cats muttered below, and one let out a low growl. With a wave of her tail, she signaled Hawkfrost and he dragged the unfortunate cat back into the brush and slit its throat. "Any more interruptions?" Mapleshade purred silkily. All noises shut off.

"This is the Dark Games. Six cats from each Clans will be put into the lake territories. Twenty four of your beloved cats will enter, and one will return. Any questions so far?" A cricket chirped. The island was silent. "Excellent. One kit, one apprentice, three warriors, and one cat of importance from each Clan will be chosen, whether living or dead. If for some unknown reason a cat would like to join the Games, they may volunteer for one of their Clanmates of their equal only. Tigerstar will begin." Mapleshade stepped back, her pelt glowing.

"Kits," Tigerstar began. "ThunderClan, Mosskit. WindClan, Swallowkit. ShadowClan, Marshkit. RiverClan, Pricklekit." The four chosen kits were herded towards the Dark Forest representatives, their relatives hissing and watching helplessly.

Hawkfrost clambered up next to his father, pelt bristling menacingly. "Apprentices for the Games. ThunderClan, Shrewpaw. WindClan, Gorsepaw. ShadowClan, Talonpaw. RiverClan, Troutpaw."

On the topmost branch, Snowtuft yowled to gain attention. Mapleshade gave him a nod, and he recited the names of the chosen warriors. "ThunderClan, Ivypool, Ashfur, Dovewing." Dovewing fluffed up her fur, eyes scared.

"I volunteer!" Bumblestripe yelped, sliding Dovewing behind him. Mapleshade's eyes narrowed in amusement.

"Accepted. Snowtuft, continue."

The white warrior clawed the tree bark. "WindClan, Dawnflower, Heathertail, Crowfeather. ShadowClan, Tigerheart, Starlingwing, Brackenfoot. RiverClan, Mintfur, Rainflower, Silverstream." Tawnypelt lunged forward, her paws slapping the peaty island mud.

Graystripe stood beside her. "I volunteer!" they meowed in unison, each glancing at their kit or mate.

Tigerheart growled and glared up at Tigerstar. "Don't let her," he said flatly. Tigerstar nodded. Mapleshade noted it calmly and cleared her throat.

"Neither accepted." Graystripe opened his mouth to utter words of amazement, but Mapleshade cut him off. "The tom is not an equal position to the she-cat. Push them back." Thistleclaw snarled and shoved the two into the crowd.

"POSITIONS OF POWER," Brokenstar bellowed. "Russetfur, Spottedleaf, Stonefur, Hawkheart."

All the tributes were gathered at the base of the tree, corralled into a tight circle. "The rest of you miserable flea-pelts will be made to work as slaves for us," Mapleshade decreed. "Now say goodbye to these kittypets, because most of them won't be seen alive by you again." With that she teleported into the sky, the Dark Forest cats following, leaving the tributes scattered around the island.
