A/N: Here's another of the 'bonus' chapters for this story. I hope you all enjoy it :)

Ask the Victors

Who is the greatest Hunger Games victor of all time?

Another question we often ask each other, this year's Hunger Games is the closest we will likely ever get to finding out who the greatest Hunger Games victor of them all actually is, although we can always speculate, as we often do. But what do the victors themselves think? For those who have lived through the arena and can relate to others' achievements in a way that none of us can, who do the victors believe to be the king of kings? Thankfully, Claudius Templesmith has been on the case, and now we can present to you the victors' thoughts on the matter.

Julian Sampson: Finnick Odair. He's the youngest victor - nobody else has won aged just fourteen - and that's got to count for something, right?

Harvey Collings: It has to be Johanna Mason, surely. Nobody else has managed the level of deception that she showed us in the 67th Games. By the time any of the other tributes realised she was the one to beat, she already had way too much sponsor support to be stopped. A tactical masterstroke.

Beetee Matthews: There are way too many variables to consider for there to be a straight answer to this question. In some years, there are victors whose abilities are flattered by a poor crop of tributes around them; in others, a victor might have to fight off six or seven others who all scored a ten or higher in training. Sometimes an arena might play exactly into a victor's strengths, and other times they might struggle through an arena that heavily disadvantages them and favours their rivals. Some tributes win with an abundance of sponsor support, and others have to scrape through without being given anything. So really, there are too many factors for this to be an easy question to answer. Forced to pick someone, I'd have to go with Brutus Cato, who managed the most kills of anyone on the way to victory.

Auriel Hope: Fraser Reynolds, the male tribute from District 4 who won the first ever Hunger Games. Unlike the rest of us, Fraser had no idea what to expect in the arena, as nobody had ever seen anything like it before. Of the tributes in the first Hunger Games, he was the one who adapted the best to the completely unknown landscape - surely that makes him the greatest of all time?

Enobaria Blake: I wish I could say it was me! Honestly, it's got to be Amadeus Cato. He won the Games in under a day. Nobody else has ever got close to that.

Imogen Sands: I don't know exactly, but definitely someone who won through unconventional means. Strong, athletic, technically gifted Careers are six a dozen - nothing makes any of their victories stand out. I'd probably go with either Beetee, whose complicated electrical trap has never been duplicated in the arena, or Mags, who burned down a forest to take supplies away from all of her allies.

Lyme Fairbanks: Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the Second Quarter Quell. We all had to get past twenty-three others to win the Games; Haymitch had to outlive forty-seven.

Sapphire Tompkins: My former mentor, Ruby Tompkins. Not just for her prowess in the Games, but the legacy she has created as a mentor and the impact she has had on the mentoring approach of District 1 in the years since her victory.

Seeder King: If I can be allowed two names, I'll say Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. What they achieved together last year was incredible. I was so moved by the finale of the Games.

Haymitch Abernathy: Katniss and Peeta, for managing what nobody else could and finding a way to get two people out of the arena. I'm proud of them for everything they've achieved, and I'm confident they'll repeat the trick in this year's Games.

Johanna Mason: Every Hunger Games is so different, it's almost pointless comparing. Forced to pick an victor, could it be anyone other than Brutus Cato? The man's a machine. He got fifteen kills in the arena - I didn't even make half of that, and that was still hard work!

Brutus Severus Cato: My father, Amadeus, who has been an inspiration for generations of tributes from District 2; he's the reason I chose to volunteer for the Games myself, to make him proud and uphold the family name.

Ludovic Robertson: It has to be Amadeus Cato, doesn't it? The man's a legend. Nobody has got close to dominating the field the way he did in the 8th Games. Even seventy years later, we're still using his image in the opening credits of the Hunger Games TV coverage! He's definitely the most iconic victor, and I'd be tempted to say he's the greatest, too.

Toby Denham: Molly Higgins, from District 6. Her twelve kills as a tribute from an outer district are unmatched; only those from One, Two and Four have ever got ten or higher. She's shown that even those who don't have everything before the Games can win it all just as convincingly as those that do.

Finnick Odair: If we're determining the greatest by popularity, then it's got to be me, hasn't it? Just kidding... Honestly, I'm not sure - now, let's see... Probably someone like Cashmere, who showed me that it's possible for younger tributes to put up a strong fight against tributes three or four years older than them, and come out on top. Had she not have won in the years just before my Games, I might not have been so confident in the arena.

Cashmere Adlington: Topaz McArthur. She was District 1's first victor, starting our proud legacy in the Games.

Raphael Bryan: Amadeus Cato. Need I elaborate? We all know who he is.
