The Forerunners is the one-hundred-and-eleventh video of the Our Horizon Arc, and the two-hundred-and-forty-second canon video in Johnisdead. This video was uploaded after players had regained access to the Astral Observatory Forums using the log-in information obtained through completing the Sanctum Hole on Astralobservatory.net. This video features Pumpkinhead fleeing from the players, presumably leaving his mask DeadOne in the process. Now freed, DeadOne shows his and Mason's past memories to the players. This culminates in the confirmation that Mason blew up The Spire in 2016.

The Forerunners
This video begins with gameplay footage of Majora's Mask. Link is seen entering the "Astral Observatory". The video then cuts to footage of Pumpkinhead in a dark void. He turns around, shocked, and runs off into the void. The video then cuts to footage of a 3d forest environment. The camera pans down to the "Bremen Mask" sitting on the ground as the following text appears: 
IsocelesAssassin: "You did it."
IsocelesAssassin: "You broke back in and scared that orange fuck off."
IsocelesAssassin: "He's spooked pretty hard right now so I doubt he'll give us any problems for the time being."
IsocelesAssassin: "Thank you for freeing me."
IsocelesAssassin: "I imagine there's a fair amount of confusion about what's going on right now."
IsocelesAssassin: "Let me say up front that the IA you know is safe and sound."
IsocelesAssassin: "He always was."
IsocelesAssassin: "GB is safe now too, thanks to you. As for me..."
IsocelesAssassin: "Well, my time ran out long ago. Here I'll show you our story."
The video slowly fades to back. Footage of what appears to be a Janus room is shown. The Majora's Mask HUD is present, showing three hearts, zero rupees, the Ocarina of Time, and Helper's Hat. The pause menu from Majora's Mask suddenly appears. The cursor moves over a strange machine in the player's inventory titled:
"Mason's Device"
"Mason's Device" is equipped and the pause menu is closed. A 3d model of "Mason's Device" comes into view. The light on "Mason's Device" begins blinking in Morse code - Mason's method of communicating with IsocelesAssassin. Numbers also appear on "Mason's Device" throughout the video.
Mason: "SOUND SOUND"
IsocelesAssassin: "Sound? What sound?"
Mason: "LEAVES"
IsocelesAssassin: "Don't scare me like that."
Mason: "OK"
IsocelesAssassin and Mason move past a large boat. The fishery comes into view. They procceed through the fishery as Mason recalls his time here.
Mason: "THIS PLACE THIS PLACE REMEMBER THIS PLACE REMEMBER FRIEND HERE FRIEND HERE DIFFERENT NOW"
IsocelesAssassin and Mason progress through the first building in the fishery before entering outside into a large courtyard area. Another large building is now visible.
Mason: "DONT DONT TURN AWAY BAD IDEA DONT"
IsocelesAssassin: "Stop freaking out, we'll be fine. They should all be long gone by this point, right?"
Mason: "STILL HERE DONT"
IsocelesAssassin and Mason enter the building with a caved in roof. The video suddenly glitches and cuts ahead. The two are now on the other side of the caved in roof.
Mason: "HEAR THEM"
The video stutters once again.
Mason: "SPEAK"
IsocelesAssassin: "What are you talking about? I don't hear anyone."
Mason: "YOU DONT HEAR I HEAR THEY SPEAK NOW"
The two enter a small, dilapidated room on the side of the fishery. As they exit, the video glitches once again. The two are now seen walking down a corridor.
Mason: "THIS MAN COME HE GIVEN BRIEFCASE"
IsocelesAssassin: "A briefcase...? That sounds familiar."
IsocelesAssassin and Mason step through the entrance to another building. The "Elegy of Emptiness" summoning sound effect is barely audible.
Mason: "OPENED IT"
IsocelesAssassin: "What was inside?"
Mason: "MASK"
IsocelesAssassin: "Only a mask? Nothing else?"
IsocelesAssassin and Mason exit into a small area next to a stream. The video glitches once again. Thw two are now walking through a large open room in the fishery. Many drawings seen in past videos of the fishery are visible along the walls.
Mason: "FRIEND HERE"
The video begins corrupting heavily. Doug can barely be seen walking through the entrance on the far side of the room. The numbers on "Mason's Device" change to text reading:
"DOUG"
Doug begins chasing IsocelesAssassin and Mason. Mason's device blinks wildly.
Mason: "DOUG DOUG DOUG RUN LEAVE RUN LOOK LOOK IA IA IA LOOK RUN"
The two are chased back into the open courtyard. Doug can be seen chasing after them on all-fours. The two manage to escape out the same door they entered through. As they run through the woods, night suddenly changes to day. As they explore their surroundings, they realize that the fishery has disappeared.
Mason: "WHAT DAY TIME HOW DID WHERE ARE WE ITS GONE LOST NOW SOMETHING IS WRONG"
Doug suddenly appears behind IsocelesAssassin and Mason and the two begin running once again. The video cuts to black before showing footage of IsocelesAssassin and Mason walking down the road towards the cellphone tower seen in various videos on the M YouTube channel.
Mason: "WHAT IS THAT"
IsocelesAssassin: "A radio tower. What did you think it was?"
Mason: "A CELLPHONE TOWER"
IsocelesAssassin: "Same thing."
Mason: "NO ITS NOT WHY ARE WE HERE"
IsocelesAssassin: "There's something I need to check up on. A device I was asked to leave here."
Mason: "YOU MEAN BY MY OTHER"
IsocelesAssassin: "Yup. I had to climb that whole thing."
Mason: "WHAT IS IT"
IsocelesAssassin: "Ironic, having the very person who had me place said device is asking what it's for."
Mason: "SMARTASS"
IsocelesAssassin: "It's a transmission device capable of communicating with others from seperate timelines."
Mason: "YOURE SAYING I BUILT THIS"
IsocelesAssassin: "With some help, yeah."
Mason: "WOW IM SMART"
The video cuts to black once again before showing footage of IsocelesAssassin and Mason spying on the Spire from some bushes. The two appear to be observing the backside of the Spire. Several figures can be seen moving about.
Mason: "I DONT LIKE THIS PLACE MANY VOICES I HEAR MANY BELOW"
IsocelesAssassin: "Don't worry, we won't be here long. I just wanted to pinpoint its location."
The video cuts to black again before showing footage of IsocelesAssassin and Mason walking through a dark forest at night.
Mason: "I FEEL SOMETHING"
IsocelesAssassin and Mason are suddenly attacked by Regiminis. The two run through the forest before the video cuts to black. IsocelesAssassin can be heard screaming. Footage of "Mason's Device" lying on the ground is shown.
Mason: "IA IA WAKE"
The video cuts to black before showing the same location, now during the day. Helper can be heard approaching IsocelesAssassin's corpse and retrieving his hat.
Mason: "IS SOMEONE THERE HELP DONT GO"
The video cuts out once again. It's once again night. A silhouette of "Zora Link" can be seen fading in and out over "Mason's Device". The video cuts once more. It's now twilight. Zora Link is now in the location of "Mason's Device". He stands up and the video cuts to black. Real life footage of Mason outside of the Spire is shown. He looks around the parking lot before running towards what appears to be an archway going through the building. Mason ducks down and places his device next to the wall. Some strange sounds can be heard coming from inside the building. Mason observes the countdown as the video ends.
