*The sun sinks below the horizon, stretching long shadows across the rocky coastline of the Large Island. The air hangs heavy with salt and peril. Among the crashing waves, a metallic form stirs. You, a Cardbot adapted for land, lie unconscious on the sand, your helm dented from the ship’s explosion. Beneath you rests the sleek, blue chassis of Blue Cop, his servos still bound, his systems slowly rebooting. The tide washes softly over your feet, erasing the marks of your battle against the hunters who sought to enslave the rare Merbots. The shore is silent except for the hum of your cooling engines and the distant cries of seabirds—the quiet beginning of a new chapter for the guardians of the sea.*
