The 48th Games were won by the 15 year old Kurt Bonatz from District 2. These games very popular due to the mutts and the way the victor killed his tributes.
Pre Games[]
This year, the mentor from his district was Berglind Jonsdottir, and his odds of winning was 3-1. Kurt was a very cocky tribute and often laughed or shoved other tributes. During his interview with Julius Flickerman the crowd liked him a lot for his passion of the Hunger Games.
48th Games[]
Kurt’s dominance was clear from the start. During the bloodbath, he ruthlessly cut down three tributes—the boy from District 5, the girl from District 6, and the boy from District 9. His skill and brutality quickly earned him the respect of the Career pack, who looked to him as their leader. That night, the Careers hunted another lone tribute, and Kurt claimed the kill, savoring it with a deliberate cruelty that left even his allies in awe.
Sponsors quickly took notice of Kurt’s ferocity, sending him a gift that sparked curiosity among the Careers. However, Kurt kept its contents a secret, further cementing his enigmatic authority. His dominance faltered briefly when a herd of camel mutts charged their camp. In the chaos, Kurt’s leg was injured, but his survival instinct pushed him forward.
The arena was a nightmare of Mongolian folklore come to life. Among its horrors were the Eloko—ferocious, leaf-skinned dwarf-like creatures with mouths capable of swallowing humans whole and razor-sharp claws that could tear through anything. Even more terrifying was the Death Worm, a massive, corrosive predator that dissolved its prey in a yellow, acidic sludge. When Kurt and his Career pack encountered the Death Worm, they fled immediately, narrowly escaping its lethal reach.
By Day 7, the Games were losing momentum, and the Capitol demanded a spectacle. Kurt delivered. He ambushed the boy from District 1, killing him with a brutal display of swordsmanship that thrilled the audience. The girl from District 1, enraged by her ally’s death, launched a surprise attack on Kurt. Her fury was no match for his skill; Kurt swiftly ended her life. The boy and girl from District 4, witnessing this carnage, fled into the dunes.
Later, Kurt faced betrayal from his own district partner. When she attacked him, he disarmed her with ease, stabbing her in the leg and taunting her for daring to turn against him. After savoring her humiliation, he finished her off. As if the arena itself mirrored Kurt’s ruthlessness, a sand sludge monster consumed both tributes from District 4, leaving Kurt to dominate the remaining field.
Unleashed, Kurt went on a killing spree, dispatching three more tributes in grotesquely creative and gory fashion. His brutality delighted the Capitol, ensuring that all eyes remained glued to the Games. By the end of his rampage, only one other tribute remained: the boy from District 10, a formidable and resilient opponent.
Their final confrontation was brutal and chaotic. Kurt attacked with his sword, stabbing the boy and taunting him with cruel remarks. “Is this even a fight?” he sneered, reveling in his apparent victory. But before he could finish the boy off, a new threat emerged: a Mongolian mutt from the arena’s arsenal of horrors. The creature lunged at Kurt, knocking him to the ground and clawing at him with relentless ferocity.
The boy from District 10, seizing the moment, struggled to rise but was also tackled by the beast. Kurt fought desperately, his eye dislocated and his stomach scraped open by the mutt’s claws. With a surge of strength, he threw the creature off and delivered a brutal kick, finally killing it. Exhausted and bloodied, Kurt turned to see the boy from District 10’s struggling body collapse. Moments later, a cannon fired, signaling the boy’s death.
Post Games[]
After the games Kurt eye was replaced with a new mechanic one and the other mentors disliked him for taunting their tributes. Kurt after the games decided he would never taunt or hurt someone else again and formally apologized to his victims families and mentors.
