->''"This story begins every hundred years. It always begins in the same way - with a legend awakening. The Legend says that a multitude of armored beasts emerge from the dark core of the earth. They swarm to the surface, drawn by their master. Every hundred years, they try to overtake our world, and we always think we've destroyed them. The legend also has it that every hundred years... we're wrong!"''

Every hundred years, the insect swarms emerge from their caves, and the Centipede awakens. Every hundred years, a hero is chosen.
This time, the chosen hero is Wally, a simple bean counter. He may not be the usual hero, or a hero at all, but he's going to have to make it happen.

* CollateralDamage: It's possible to accidentally shoot and destroy Wee people and buildings. Buildings can typically take a few hits and stay standing, but people go down in one shot.
