A number of nasty characters have signed up to the event, think that they have the guts to find the METEOR CHUNKS. All the characters don't know of what Hex is doing, so he waits until all the METEOR CHUNKS have been gathered for world domination. Hex mentions that for the one who brings back all the METEOR CHUNKS, will win a pig. Not according to the contract, one of the contestants named Sid, said that they win a Magic Sceptre.
