The crew starts out heading into the burn after deciding to veer south and skirt the edges instead of driving though the heart of the burn. Hours later the crew comes to a fork in the road and Kamanje turns to the right which would take the crew right the the middle of the burn unbeknownst to the crew.
The crew comes across a massacre in the middle of the road. A large section of the road was covered with bodies, the twisted metal of ruined vehicles, shell cases, scorch marks, and a few small burning fires. The crew slows down to investigate and to move some of the debris out of the road so they could pass. As they are making slow progress the roar of engines are heard in the distance moments before a motorcycle with a side car housing mutant octopus and a thin boy with a shotgun and a ATV speed around the bend. Before the crew can even react, a rocket is fired from the ATV wish narrowly misses 9s on his hover bike but the blast send him careening out of control, and off the side of the cliff.
Wilhelm riding his Po Dog charge the ATV but Wilhelm gets hit with weapon fire and ducks into a long warehouse like building as the ATV jumps over some rubble to follow him. The ATV circles around and slams into the Po Dog which sends Wilhelm flying off into the sand. As the ATV driver continues to try to injuries the Po Dog, the driver meets the business end of Wilhelms sniper rifle and takes off. The second shot from the rifle goes wide as the ATV vanishes into the distance.
During the same time, shots are exchanged between the crews hover van and the motorcycle with the side car. During these exchanges Kamanje notices that the hover van is really bogging down because they are now 2, then 3, and now 5! Hughies popping up. It is quickly surmised by Parrot that the radiation blast Hughie took form the Obb in the Killbox somehow caused him to mutate with temporal fatigue. Hughie keeps multiplying until they are 8 total and these Hughies start rolling out of the hover van. Before the rest of the crew could even get their bearings, two more motorcycles speed around the bend and head towards the hover van.
Kamanje not missing a beat, speeds up and crashes into the two incoming motorcycles sending destroying the motorcycles with the sounds of screeching metal as one of the drivers fly through the window of the hover van. Parrot and Kamanje dodge the flying dead body but it lands on top of Hughie.
As Kamanje tries to control their steerless hover van Parrot notices an armored tow truck bearing down on them with a two headed duck gesturing wildly at them with a shotgun, a mohawk burn wench driving, and a giant bare chested human hanging on the back of thee tow truck swinging around a tow hook.
Kamanje, Parrot, and the OG Hughie all bail out of the hover van and quickly take up deference positions as Parrot fires his AK at the motorcycle with the side car - taking out the dirver and sending it crashing into a rock formation with a fiery explosion . Tthe tow truck continues to speed towards the hover van with obvious intent, two of the Hughies teleport inside of the truck - one of them fighting with the passenger and the other one grabbing the steering wheel and wrenching it to avoid a bone crushing collision. The antics are successful even though Kamanje had to leap to safety to avoid becoming road kill. The other 5 Hughies fire their crossbows with some of the bolts finding their mark as one of the Hughies in the tow truck pull the pin on a stun grenade and it explodes knocking everyone unconscious except the driver who takes a hard right into the burn to escape.
Within in minutes of the remaining opponents escaping, they crew kills two of the unconscious Hughies which cause the other 5 to vanish in puffs of acrid smoke. The real Hughie falls unconscious as 9s finally makes his way back up over the cliff walking a dented an dbut still functioning hover bike. 9s looks at whats left of the hover van and the fresh carnage and asks, "What did I miss?". As they quickly scrounge for additional supplies they notice that their ambushers vehicles all had this symbol painted on them...
