1
00:00:12,117 --> 00:00:20,622
Mr. Gwarg stared at his watch as he waited for the monsters to calm down.

2
00:00:20,623 --> 00:00:24,083
"We're losing precious time," he said.

3
00:00:24,084 --> 00:00:29,958
When everyone had finally grown quiet again, Mr. Gwarg grabbed his clipboard.

4
00:00:29,959 --> 00:00:33,877
"Let's review our Field Day rules."

5
00:00:33,878 --> 00:00:36,434
"Ugh." Mog groaned.

6
00:00:36,435 --> 00:00:39,495
"We've heard these rules twenty times already!

7
00:00:39,496 --> 00:00:41,852
Can't we just get started?"

8
00:00:41,853 --> 00:00:45,494
"That's enough, Mog!" Mr. Freaky snapped.

9
00:00:45,495 --> 00:00:47,304
"The rules are important.

10
00:00:47,305 --> 00:00:51,079
That's how everything stays under control around here."

11
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,603
He took out his handkerchief and blew his noses.

12
00:00:56,604 --> 00:01:02,822
"Okay, first rule—no magic spells," Mr. Gwarg announced.

13
00:01:02,823 --> 00:01:07,796
"Aww!" Several witches and wizards started complaining.

14
00:01:07,797 --> 00:01:12,147
"What about hexes?" somebody asked. "Can we use those?"

15
00:01:12,148 --> 00:01:17,473
"No!" Mr. Gwarg snapped. "No magic whatsoever!"

16
00:01:17,474 --> 00:01:19,733
A vampire raised her hand.

17
00:01:19,734 --> 00:01:26,827
"Can I turn into a bat and fly around?"

18
00:01:26,828 --> 00:01:28,977
Mr. Gwarg blinked at her.

19
00:01:28,978 --> 00:01:32,868
"You're not even on a team, Vanessa," he said.

20
00:01:32,869 --> 00:01:37,332
"But if you were on a team, yes, you could do that.

21
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:40,392
That's not magic—it's an ability."

22
00:01:40,393 --> 00:01:48,625
"So it's okay if I make my feet bigger to run faster?" Carly asked.

23
00:01:48,626 --> 00:01:51,240
The gym teacher scratched his head.

24
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:56,100
"I guess so. But I don't think it would actually improve your speed."

25
00:01:56,101 --> 00:02:00,135
Monsters kept raising their hands to ask more questions.

26
00:02:00,136 --> 00:02:05,286
Finally Mr. Gwarg lifted his whistle and gave a long, loud blast.

27
00:02:05,287 --> 00:02:10,645
"I don't have time to answer all these questions.

28
00:02:10,646 --> 00:02:13,472
Look, there's really only one rule.

29
00:02:13,473 --> 00:02:17,540
And that's this one—just play fair.

30
00:02:17,541 --> 00:02:22,724
Now Team Orange and Team Black, line up for our first event.

31
00:02:22,725 --> 00:02:25,730
It's the tug-of-war!"

32
00:02:25,731 --> 00:02:31,414
"Phew," Ben murmured to Pixel. "That took forever."

33
00:02:31,415 --> 00:02:39,216
The spectators cheered as the two teams took their places in the center of the field.

34
00:02:39,217 --> 00:02:45,492
Ben could see that a long rope had been laid over a shallow pit filled with mud.

35
00:02:45,493 --> 00:02:50,312
The teams lined up on opposite sides of the pit.

36
00:02:50,313 --> 00:02:53,724
Then each player gripped the rope.

37
00:02:53,725 --> 00:02:58,368
Suddenly Ben spotted the sixth member of Team Orange.

38
00:02:58,369 --> 00:03:01,884
"Oh, no!" he gasped.

39
00:03:01,885 --> 00:03:06,109
Last in line on the opposite side of the rope was Gaby.

40
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:09,633
And Gaby was strong—really strong!

41
00:03:09,634 --> 00:03:13,592
She must be what Zork meant by his "secret weapon."

42
00:03:13,593 --> 00:03:18,077
Waldo had spotted her too. "Not good," he muttered.

43
00:03:18,078 --> 00:03:21,150
"Gaby is even stronger when she's mad."

44
00:03:21,151 --> 00:03:25,895
Ben gulped. "And is she mad about something right now?"

45
00:03:25,896 --> 00:03:29,897
Waldo nodded. "She's really mad at me.

46
00:03:29,898 --> 00:03:33,992
She said that I should have made Mog choose her for Team Black."

47
00:03:33,993 --> 00:03:37,489
Ben drew in a breath.

48
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:41,082
"Well, there's no time to worry about that now," he said.

49
00:03:41,083 --> 00:03:43,233
"We're about to start."

50
00:03:43,234 --> 00:03:49,443
"Okay, guys." Mog turned around to talk to his team from his spot as first in line.

51
00:03:49,444 --> 00:03:55,725
"Here's the plan. As soon as the game starts, pull the rope as fast and as hard as you can.

52
00:03:55,726 --> 00:03:58,567
Maybe we can take Team Orange by surprise."

53
00:03:58,568 --> 00:04:02,912
"Got it!" everybody said, gripping the rope tightly.

54
00:04:02,913 --> 00:04:05,426
Mr. Gwarg lifted his whistle.

55
00:04:05,546 --> 00:04:10,715
"The first team to pull the other team into the mud wins," he announced.

56
00:04:10,716 --> 00:04:12,844
"Is everybody ready?"

57
00:04:12,845 --> 00:04:18,448
Both team captains nodded, and then—<font color="#ffff00"><i>tweet!</i></font> The whistle blew to start the game.

58
00:04:18,449 --> 00:04:22,487
"Pull, Black!" Mog shouted. "Pull hard!"

59
00:04:22,488 --> 00:04:26,529
Ben and the others tugged as fast and as hard as they could.

60
00:04:26,530 --> 00:04:30,264
To Ben's surprise, Mog's plan worked perfectly.

61
00:04:30,265 --> 00:04:37,586
In an instant Zork and his team were flying across the ground, and Zork was teetering on the edge of the mud pit.

62
00:04:37,587 --> 00:04:48,138
"Pull!" Mog screamed. "Harder!"

63
00:04:48,139 --> 00:04:53,553
"Yes!" Ben thought. "Zork's going to fall in! We're going to win!"

64
00:04:53,554 --> 00:04:57,758
Then, with a loud <font color="#ffff00"><i>ka-snap!</i></font>, the rope broke.

65
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,484
Both teams tumbled backward, landing hard on the ground.

66
00:05:02,485 --> 00:05:08,647
"Time out!" Mr. Gwarg rushed forward to look at the broken rope.

67
00:05:08,648 --> 00:05:12,930
"What in the world happened? I buy the best ropes in Monsterville.

68
00:05:12,931 --> 00:05:15,910
I've never seen one break before."

69
00:05:15,911 --> 00:05:19,310
Waldo went to take a look.

70
00:05:19,311 --> 00:05:22,855
"I can fix that, Mr. Gwarg. I know a good spell."

71
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:25,754
"Me too!" Brunhilda called.

72
00:05:25,755 --> 00:05:29,871
"Monsters!" Mr. Freaky was flapping his arms.

73
00:05:29,872 --> 00:05:35,027
"What did Mr. Gwarg tell you—no magic during Field Day events!"

74
00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:37,373
"Sorry!" Waldo called.

75
00:05:37,374 --> 00:05:40,309
"We forgot," Brunhilda added.

76
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:44,985
Mr. Gwarg ran to an equipment shed to get another rope.

77
00:05:44,986 --> 00:05:48,551
Then he told the two teams to line up again.

78
00:05:48,552 --> 00:05:51,663
"Okay, everyone, take your places."

79
00:05:51,664 --> 00:05:56,978
The teams gathered on their sides of the pit once more.

80
00:05:56,979 --> 00:06:02,943
"Go!" Mr. Gwarg shouted, and both teams began pulling with all their might again.

81
00:06:02,944 --> 00:06:10,105
This time, though, Team Orange wasn't surprised by Team Black's strategy; they were ready for it.

82
00:06:10,106 --> 00:06:17,534
Back and forth the rope tugged for several minutes, with neither team making much progress.

83
00:06:17,535 --> 00:06:24,583
The spectators on the field were cheering loudly as the cheerleaders did cartwheels across the field.

84
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:28,252
"Go, Orange! Go, Black!"

85
00:06:28,253 --> 00:06:34,417
Then all at once, the air went deadly silent.
