On the way there, they watch videos of others threatening tributes that pose conflict to their victory. Therefore, they try their best to learn new techniques before entering the bloodbath known as the Hunger Games. They take tours of the districts, preparing for the games prior to arriving in the Capitol to await their fate.
In the Capitol, they have only three days to prepare and to potentially learn lifesaving techniques. They ally with Finnick and his partner Mags. They go down the elevator, where Katniss is reminded of the horrors of the last year, Thus she realizes she will endure them once more.
The games begin. Katniss has a good lead over the others, especially as the Cornucopia is surrounded by water. She is lucky enough to be a skilled swimmer. She gathers a bow and is nearly killed, but Finnick murders the bloodthirsty competitor from five. They meet up.
Mags and Peeta and run off before the careers arrive. The group runs off into the jungle before they are caught in the initial fighting. They run until they are convinced no one is following them. Peeta runs into the force field surrounding the arena. His heart stops momentarily, but Finnick revises him after performing CPR.
The group rest knowing that in their tired and drained state, they will pose no threat and will be easier to kill. Finnick and Mags keep guard, while their wounded teammate Peeta recovers.
Katniss goes off in search of food and water. She finds food in the form of the nuts which most animals consume, but has no luck retrieving water. Their sponsor parachutes in a tub. She hasn’t had the faintest clue on what the instrument is used for and deems it worthless.
Katniss goes back to camp, bringing with her food. She is unsuccessful with delivering water. They suffice with the rations they have on hand. Therefore, the three of them sleep except for Katniss, who thus stays on guard to watch for any signs of trouble.
Lightning strikes and a mist roll in followed by fog. She gasps for breath, awakening the others. They gather their belongings to quickly run off away from the fog. Finnick carries Peeta. Katniss lifts and holds Mags. Mags sacrifices herself to buy the others time.
Peeta, Katniess, and Finnick emerge from the jungle, as a female tribute associated with six, saves them. They run into Beetee, Wiress and Johanna, who form an alliance. With this large group, they head to the cornucopia. They are ambushed by the pack of careers.
Wiress is killed in the attack; two of the careers are also killed as well. The remaining two disappear into the jungle. Katniss remembers Wiress repeating the words 'tick tock' over and over again. She realizes the arena is set up in a way that each hour brings a new challenge in each sector of the arena.
Beetee comes up with a brilliant plan to hook up a wire to the highest tree and electrocute the rest of the competitors in the arena. The group divides to carry out the plans. Johanna and Katniss go to wire the tree to the ocean. She tackles Katniss as she cuts her tracker out of her arm.
Johanna distracts and directs the savage tributes to follow her. Katniss sees Beetee, as he destroys the force field. She passes out seconds later, after being temporarily paralyzed. She is told that Peeta has been captured along with Johanna. They tell her of the plan, in place, to overthrow the capitol and how most of the tributes were willing to have themselves killed for her survival. Gale informs her that her family made it out safely out of her home district. He tells her that 12 no longer exist.
