THE GROUP STANDS TOGETHER DELIBERATING THEIR LAST MYSTERIOUS INSTRUCTIONS. "TO WIN IS TO CHOOSE. WEAR THE CHAINMAIL OR LOSE". AARON BREAKS AWAY, MOVING CLOSER, AS THOUGH THE CHEST WAS PULLING HIM IN, CALLING HIM CLOSER. AS AARON APPROACHES, THE URGE TO TOUCH THE CHAINMAIL GROWS INSIDE OF HIM AND HE PULLS THE COOL AND HEAVY METAL FROM THE DEPTHS TO EXAMINE AND FEEL IT'S UNKNOWN POWER. 

 

AARON DONS THE CHAINMAIL AND REALIZES NOT THE IMPLICATIONS OF HIS DECISION. WHEN HE REOPENS THE CHEST HE FINDS A NEW CARD WITH INSTRUCTIONS, "TO WIN IS TO CHOOSE. CROSS THE FINISH LINE OR LOSE". THE CHEST PRODUCES TRAINING EQUIPMENT TO PREPARE FOR AARON'S BIG RACE.

 

THE GUN IS FIRED AND AARON BEGINS HIS SPRINT TO THE FINISH LINE WHERE THE CHEST HAS NOW APPEARED, DRAWING THE RUNNER CLOSER TO ITS SNARE. AARON IS CONTROLLED BY THE CHAINMAIL AND CANNOT BREAK FROM IT'S ENCHANTMENT. IN THE DISTANCE, THE CHEERING JESSA AND KELLY ARE CAPTURED IN A LARGE NET AND PULLED CLOSE TO SHORE WHERE THEY WILL BE TAKEN AND DROWNED BY THE RISING TIDE. 

 

AARON LOOKS BACK TO SEE HIS FRIENDS IN IMMINENT DANGER, BREAKS FROM THE CURSE OF THE CHAINMAIL, AND RUNS TO SAVE HIS TANGLED BAND MATES. THEY QUICKLY REMOVE THE CURSED CHAINMAIL FROM AARON AND RETURN IT TO THE CHEST.
