Jake was led down an open corridor through a set of double doors in tow with Archy and Halsey. He could hear the crowd roaring with excitement before he entered. "Now Jake are you positive you are ready for this?" Archy asked. "I am. I just wish I knew what this was." Jake exclaimed. "This will be the battle of your strategic thinking and if your mind is smart enough to possess the power of ultimate sacrifice."Archy explained. Halsey interjected by saying "I don't understand how a stupid game of Chess will show the galaxy that Jake is the Allmega."

"Chess is nothing more than a game of mistakes and sacrifice." Archy said plainly. "Who am I playing?" Jake asked. As they walked through the double doors into an awaiting crowd full of raging polepes Jake could see in the middle of the Gauntlet style amphitheatre. A table and two chairs across from each other were set up already. It looked almost identical to the roman callouseum if the calloseum had been rentavated and enclosed. He looked up and literally saw the universe before his eyes. It was the most amazing sight he had ever seen. He saw stars and planets and it looked all to realistic that he stood staring until Halsey broke his daydream by grabbing his hand with hers "Jake? Are you okay" she asked concerned. He looked back down to realize that she was more beautiful than the galaxy and all that was in it. "I am now." Jake said without breaking eye contact with her. "Jake you don't have to do this." She said "What's the matter? You don't have Faith that I can win" he said kissing her transcendent hand never breaking eye contact.
