Arthur — now known as Brick Breaker — passed the Combine and joined the Eon City Champions. Their first mission: clear out the abandoned housing projects in the Climb, and they get to keep the building as headquarters. But previous hero teams that attempted the same mission were killed or disappeared under strange circumstances. Worse, tensions within the Champions threaten to fracture the group. Arthur must take the lead, forge a cohesive team, secure a steady supply of ChemX, and uncover whoever is keeping the Climb in ruins.
