"Just another boring day in Estorra...though who are these people chasing Braxton?! Also...Simon has an identity crisis."

Summary
Aphmau finds Simon waiting outside of a building. Simon is shown to be angry with Aphmau, as he thought that Aphmau was the one talking to him the other day (Even though it was the Skull Shield). Aphmau tells Simon that she thought he was the one talking. Simon then points out that even though he is the funny one, he wouldn't make up jokes in a serious situation. Aphmau is shocked at Simon's belief that he is the funny one, and Rune shows up. Aphmau tells Rune about Simon's belief, and they both tell their friend that he is not the funny one of the group, shocking him.

Meanwhile, Braxton is seen coming out a shop, where the black market dealers from the other day follow him. Braxton is confused and thinks that they want him to teach them about resin, until the boss shows up, and tells Braxton what he wants: The Skull Shield.

Aphmau, Rune, and Simon come out of a shop, as they took Simon out to eat to cheer him up. The trio are bored as they don't have anything to do. Simon suggests going to see Owen, however, Braxton is seen running and yelling in fear, with the black market dealers following him. The trio decide to take a shortcut to help Braxton.

Braxton runs to a location where the black market dealers surround him. Just when it seems as if Braxton and the Skull Shield are done for, Aphmau, Rune, and Simon show up, saving Braxton. The four escape the market dealers and decide to hide in the house that Aphmau is currently saving up for.

The four beak into the house, where Aphmau is amazed by it's interior. Aphmau then questions Braxton on why the black market dealers were chasing him, and Braxton reveals the story about him and the Skull Shield.

Back when Braxton was at the magic academy, he went into a area that was restricted to students. He discovered the Skull Shield, and decided to hold on to him, until the school staff discovered that the Skull Shield was missing. Braxton soon realized that it was no longer safe for him at the academy, and decided to go on the run, along with the Skull Shield.

Simon questions as to why the Skull Shield is so important, calling it trash. The Skull Shield gets angry and threatens the four that if they refer to him as trash one more time, he'll hurt them. Aphmau, Rune, and Simon are shocked by the Skull Shield talking, and Simon gets into a argument with the Skull Shield. He then asks what the Skull Shield's name is, though the Skull Shield refuses to answer. Aphmau then suggests calling the Skull Shield "Oscar", and everyone agrees with her. Braxton then realizes that he is tired of running away, and decides to fight back. Aphmau, Rune, and Simon decide to help him, and Oscar is pleased with the thought of not having to run away again.

The four wait outside until the black market dealers show up. The four are ready to attack, but the boss appears on the roof of a building, and shoots the four heroes with a fire wand, severely injuring them. The four are unable to move, and Oscar is helpless.

The boss approaches Oscar, claiming that very important people (Most likely the academy staff) are looking for him. Just then, a voice calls out to the boss, and the black market dealers look up and find Owen and Val staring at them, ending the episode with a cliffhanger...
