The two teams prepared for a gruelling game of Capture the Flag. This was to be the decider of the tournament. There were to be two games of capture the flag each lasting ten minutes. In between games there would be a five minute recess for rest and strategising to enable rethinking of positions etc. Each team had a flag which had been placed at opposite ends of the sports field. The hero's flag was yellow and the normal's flag was red. Whilst protecting their own flag from attack each team had to try to steal the other team's flag. Ché was literally the biggest obstacle with his height and massive strength. For a giant the man also moved rather swiftly which was worrying. Sportacus was also an obstacle but was nowhere near as dangerous as Ché.

Before the game started each team had five minutes to devise a strategy. As there were only two heroes their job was easy, one person to guard the flag the other to steal the opponent's. Ché was to be the guard and Sportacus the front runner. If Ché needed back up however, which was unlikely, it was Sportacus' job to provide it.

Kit, as team leader, elected Stingy and Pixel to defend the flag making a special point to tell Stingy that the flag was his. Ziggy was a runner and would help wherever needed or called. Trixie was to try to block Sportacus and get up his nose as extra help to the flag protectors and Kit was to take Ché. If Kit needed help Trixie had to temporarily forget Sportacus and run over.

"Okay guys we know what we're doing. This game is going to be no holds barred. People might get hurt but don't worry. Try your best and if you need to get down and dirty." Kit motivated the team, "and Trixie, don't be afraid to go for the eyes." Kit said in a comical voice while holding his hands like claws.

Trixie giggled and rolled her eyes. She wasn't going to hurt Sportacus, at least not too much if he got in the way.

As a special precaution Doctor Cole had been asked to oversee the game. It was likely that there could be some nasty injuries and even though Greta and Robyn were providing first aid he gave extra assurance.

When both teams announced they were ready and got into position the Mayor wished everyone good luck and the game commenced.

Trixie shot right in with putting Sportacus off which allowed enough time for Kit to get by him and make for the flag. Using the blocking skills she'd learnt in basketball Trixie really got up Sportacus' nose and as much as he tried he couldn't get past her.

Ché was already waiting for Kit when he approached and used his massive form to get in the way. He followed every single one of Kit's movements and blocked him at every attempt. Seeing that he was getting nowhere Kit called Trixie to get her to give him a hand, Ché couldn't possibly keep an eye on two people.

Sportacus seized his chance when Trixie left to help Kit but was stopped short by Stingy who was getting up his nose worse than Trixie.

"IT'S MIIIIINE!" Stingy bellowed when Sportacus came close.

With Stingy's incomparable defence Sportacus was having trouble getting anywhere near the flag. Whenever he did manage to get close enough to make a grab for the flag Stingy knocked his arms away. In case Sportacus changed tack and decided to try an aerial assault on the flag Pixel guarded the rear flank. Ziggy had been placed in defending the flag for the time being as well and it was effectively surrounded.

Trixie and Kit's relentless attack on the hero's side of the field was starting to wear down Ché. He knew that if he made to grab one of them the other would get round him and steal the flag. From what Ché could see Sportacus was having just as much trouble on his side. There were still two minutes left of this round and it looked like it was going to be a stalemate. All Ché could do for those two minutes was hope that Ziggy wouldn't be called to help in the attack on his flag.

Ché's worst fear came true.

Sportacus tried to block Ziggy as the candy enthusiast ran to help his friends but he was too slow. Stingy was still providing a vicious onslaught and had effectually diverted Sportacus' concentration.

Before the normal team could seize the hero's flag the whistle blew to signal the end of the first game. Ché had managed to hold out long enough for that. The game was declared a stale mate as neither flag had been stolen let alone touched.

Collapsing on the ground in a heap next to Sportacus Ché breathed deeply. "I hate to say it amigo but I am getting old. I think we need to rethink a little."

Sportacus nodded. "What do you suggest we do?"

Ché sat up and motioned for Sportacus to sit closer. He whispered his plan in Sportacus' ear.

The normal team broke their huddle. They'd decided that Kit, Trixie and Ziggy should head straight the flag instead of blocking the others. Stingy protected the flag like a tiger and he and Pixel were enough. With one minute left to go before the whistle sounded to start the next game the normals got themselves into position.

Once both teams declared they were ready the whistle blew.

Kit, Trixie and Ziggy charged the opposition. At first they thought it was Sportacus that was going to be front runner but they were wrong. Ché came out and met their charge with one of his own. Fearlessly the three normals stood their ground despite shouts from their team mates protecting the flag and the crowd as well. Breaking off just in time to escape Ché's arms Trixie and Ziggy ran round Ché and made for the flag.

A split second before he was pounded into the ground by Ché's feet Kit did a forward tumble between Ché's legs. This move caught the giant off guard and he couldn't turn around fast enough to stop him.

Sportacus was struggling to hold his position. It was three against one and he didn't have the advantage of size like Ché did. He refused to call Ché back; they had to win this and couldn't do so if no one was attacking the other team's flag. With all his skill and quick reflexes he carried on blocking the three invaders.

Ché was having a difficult time getting to the normal's flag. Stingy faced him off and wouldn't back down. Pixel had to help him as Ché's arms were considerably longer than Sportacus' and he could reach easier.

It was no use. As much as he tried Sportacus couldn't continue putting up the defence he had done. Desperately he called Ché back, the normals were coming closer and closer to breaking through.

With the same speed that he had charged the normals Ché ran back to Sportacus. He never made it however. He tripped over his own foot and went flying, tumbling and rolling across the ground as fast as he was running. Ché didn't stop until he'd careered into the refreshments table and Robyn.

Doctor Cole rushed over straight away with his doctor's bag. Everyone left the game and rushed over also. With a great deal of difficulty Ché was shifted and while Greta attended to her unconscious husband the Doctor assessed Robyn. She was breathing but she wasn't moving. She'd taken the full force of Ché tumble plus his massive weight.

There was an air of great concern as the Doctor tried to rouse Robyn but couldn't succeed. He was about to radio in for an air ambulance when a miracle happened; Robyn suddenly shot straight up and looked about her.

Seeing what she wanted Robyn smiled and picked up the plate of cake she'd been meaning to get before Ché crashed into her. Completely oblivious to everyone around her Robyn stood up and walked off.

For a moment no one could move. They all looked at each other extremely confused. One minute Robyn was seemingly unconscious and the next she was sitting on a bench eating cake. Doctor Cole was certainly speechless for one; he'd never seen anything like it.

Coming back to himself Kit burst out laughing. When everyone turned to him with a puzzled look on their faces he pointed at Robbie and said, "She's worse than you for cake! Next time she gets knocked out I'll wave a slice of cake under her nose, that'd get her up."

Everyone laughed at this. Robyn was a worse offender than Robbie when it came to cake and there nothing that would put her off getting it. Even being knocked out didn't stop her.

When Robyn had finished her cake Doctor Cole checked her over and declared that apart from a few scrapes here and there Robyn was fine. Ché woke up quickly after being knocked out also and was severely reprimanded by Greta for being so clumsy. She also threatened that if Ché pulled a stunt like that again she'd break both his legs.

The tournament had come to an end and the scores were being tallied. It was about to be announced that the day had been a draw when Kit produced the hero's flag from behind his back. He'd grabbed it just before Ché had rocketed into Robyn and so the normal's won the game.

"I now declare that with a last minute victory that the normals have won the tournament!" The Mayor announced.

A cheer rose from the crowd and all of the normal team members congratulated each other. Turning to the heroes the normals then started to sing Queen's 'we are the champions'.

All in all it had been a great day. Each team had done their best and as insurmountable as the odds were against the normals they'd pulled through to win the day.

No one had any energy to celebrate so both teams were allowed to go home and rest. The Mayor had suggested doing the same thing next year on a specific day but the crowd groaned.

Today had been enough for a lifetime.
