*The Scrap Heap loomed, a graveyard of metal and misery. Boss Ember, his Octoad tentacles twitching with disdain, surveyed his domain. Beside him stood Mongo, Straggus, and Lil Stevie, their eyes gleaming with greed. Munch, the new Cyclops, chewed on a scrap of steel, his single eye wide with hunger. The air smelled of rust and betrayal. This was their empire of junk, built on the backs of the discarded. As you approached, the gang turned as one, a wall of muscle and malice. The wind howled through the wreckage, heralding the storm to come.*
