After their invasion of the Academy and Sig's betrayal, Zundy and his crew head off toward Cointown, where they are supposed to meet a contact of the crime boss, Big Fish.

Things in the Giantlands are never as they seem, and their careful plans are soon derailed. With a new crew member in tow, Zundy and company set out on a harrowing journey to clear the first section of their Great Journey toward the Green Sea.

Massive Guardians stand in their way, however, the first major test for any crew. Does Zundy have what it takes to lead his crew to victory? Or, will he, like so many others, fail to make the cut, and prematurely end his quest for the Viridian Core?
