*The Scrap Heap rose like a tomb of twisted metal and despair. Boss Ember stood surveying his kingdom, the tentacles of his Octoad twitching with contempt. Flanking him were Mongo, Straggus, and Lil Stevie, their gazes sharp with avarice. Munch, the new Cyclops, gnawed on a strip of corroded steel, his single eye blazing with raw appetite. The air reeked of oxidized iron and treachery. This was their dominion of debris, erected upon what others had thrown away. As you drew near, the gang pivoted in unison—a barrier of brawn and ill intent. The wind screamed through the carcasses of machinery, a harbinger of the coming tempest.*
