the problem with Fedi Games is that instead of being a collaborative effort, such as @fediplayssnake , it is a versus format where contestants are weeded out. This ends up leading to the reasonable conclusion that the end of the Fedi Games is much less active or seen than the beginning of the games, since once you died, why would you stick around to watch?

Day rises. The Feast has begun.

The center of the area has been restocked with new gear, new tools, new rations, perfect for a final encounter.

Mardatron and Vincent Sparks lock eyes at the cornucopia. It's time to finish this once and for all, and without ball kicking this time.

Vincent Sparks and Mardatron rush towards the cornucopia as fast as possible, and grab something as fast as they can.
Mardatron finds a pistol and points it at Vincent.
"Ha, see you never!"
(click click)
"Oh shit there aren't any bullets in here. huh."

Vincent then loads up a bow and arrow.

"Ah."

What proceeded was perhaps out of the page of one of those Scooby Doo chase scenes with the many doors leading into the same hallway, where Vincent is chasing Mardatron whilst using holding various weapons.

Diving into the cornucopia itself like some kind of weasel, Mardatron pops out holding an axe in both hands.
Vincent, out of arrows, switches to a spear they had.

With both charging at one another, Vincent will win by the reach difference, but shockingly, Mardatron at a final moment, sidesteps and raises their axe, cleaving Vincent's spearhead clean off!
Mardatron, then, with a twist of the body, kicks Vincent square in the stomach, knocking them over.
Mardatron walks up to Vincent and says:
"You should have killed me when you had the chance. I am very powerful."
and cleaves Vincent in twain.

Mardatron is the winner!

As night falls, and dusk settles, Vincent finds Mard, weapon in hand.
Mardatron pulls out their own.

Knives clash during the forested sunset, each just barely outmaneuvering out of being hit.

With a ballsy move and a flick of the wrist, Mardatron aims to disarm Vincent Sparks, and does so successfully, knocking their knife out of their hand... but Mardatron's grip slipped, so his knife went flying too.

Now with both with just their hands empty, Mardatron puts up a boxing stance, mocking Vincent.
Vincent steps forward, puts up a boxing stance, and kicks Mardatron square in the nuts.

Mardatron grimaces, keels over and curls into a ball.
Vincent Sparks, not satisfied with this enounter at all, just walks away disgusted. This is not how this game should end. Not at all.

Day rises on the arena.

Vincent Sparks prepares a nice meal, courtesy of these unknown sponsors that keep sending stuff into my arena.

Meanwhile, Mardatron just keeps repeating things. Like they said nothing but "I am very powerful" repeatedly for the last 6+a half hours.
then they said some weird stuff about a girl who turned into dust in front of him. eh.

As night falls, and the sky goes dark, Mardatron settles in their secure shelter, and is surprised to see a crate of food be dropped near their location by an unknown sponsor. Someone must want Mard to win. Who? No clue.

Meanwhile, Vincent Sparks... uh. actually i have no clue what they did.
we have trackers for the contestants and piku just dissappeared. like not even a body was found they just poofed out of existance?????
uh anyways

2 REMAIN

Progressing away from the cornucopia, the remaining 4 contestants, Vincent Sparks, piku, Mardatron, and grug cavecool, all try to prepare themselves for upcoming future conflict.

Vincent Sparks discovers a cave, a helpful resting point and makeshift shelter.

piku practices their archery, a helpful tool for ranged offense and defense.

Mardatron sets traps, to protect themselves and to eliminate others.

grug looks for food for their pack, sees a loaf of bread on the ground, grabs it... and falls into Mardatron's pitfall trap.

3 REMAIN.
