Timeline of Events
Nov. 18, NASA satellites reported mysterious readings from an abandoned settlement near Death Valley, named my the locals as the Fanglands. Later that day, a resident of Nashville, Tennessee, named Ishen Matthew, was reported missing.

Nov. 20, A large surge of mysterious energy was reported from the ISS, in the Fanglands. When asked about it, the local scientist, Doctor Melvin Hippocampus, he merely said it was a “government-funded machine test.”

Nov. 21, search parties were rallied in Nashville, looking for the missing Ishen.

Nov. 24, a massive explosion of energy was reported from two locations, the Fanglands, and the location Terrier Tycoon’s mansion.

Nov, 26, hostile creatures suddenly appeared, and began ravaging cities around the globe. Millions were either wounded or killed.

Nov. 27, in an interview from the survivors of the Tycoon Mansion incident, they said that they saw these creatures at the mansion, creating a link in between the two incidents.

Nov. 28. Scientists stationed on the Moon and the ISS witnessed the planet Earth itself disappear before their very eyes. Earth was pulled into a universe named “The Other Side.”

Dec. 1, Earth has been overrun with ”monsters of nightmarish proportions.” Dr. Hippocampus assembles the Resistance, to help survivors and fight the monsters. Ishen Matthew was found, and joins the Resistance. Ishen’s fight begins, along with the resistance.

Chapter 1: Highway to Hell
After Ishen is pulled back to earth, (as seen in the ending of the last game) Ishen has to help Hippocampus and Tycoon escape the Lab. The lab is overrun with monsters. Using his new modified Plasmic Shotgun, called the Overcharged Plasmic Shotgun, he gets to clear out monsters, this entire mission is single player only. Over going outside, he finds the hell that has become the world; dead plants everywhere, cities burning, a never-ending multicolored storm in the sky with large silhouettes roaming about, and of course, hostile monsters. Hippocampus runs forth, saying that he had to leave his lab in the Fanglands, and go the one they’re at, because the only machine capable of pulling Ishen out was at the current lab. Ishen then has to escort them to the Fanglands by walking down an old road. Hippocampus is unarmed, but Tycoon has a sidearm with him. After reaching the Fanglands, the monsters there are all docile, due to the power of the Beacons from the last game. They are all insistent on helping the Resistance fight against the sinister league of monsters. There, Ishen gets to team up with the Resistance.

Chapter 2: No Place Like Home
Ishen and the Resistance are taken to Nashville, Tennessee, where one of the skyscrapers is glowing an ominous red. Ishen and the team hurry to check it out. Along the way, civilians are busy trying to fight monsters, albeit primitively. Some of the survivors recognize him, and say that they have searching for Ishen for days. They start to question his involvement with the disaster. The leader of this survivor group, Stevedore Salwan, denies this. He puts his trust into Ishen, due to him being the one who stopped the Tycoon mansion incident. He says that there was military dispatch nearby, and that it could help Ishen and his allies. The team finds the weapon-filled car and raid it, obtaining a Magnum, Grenades, and a special, high-tech Assault Rifle used for high emergencies, the Disaster Unit Assault Rifle. Using the weapons, the team enter the skyscraper and find it almost completely hollowed out, save for a few parts of the floor from higher levels of the building. There, they find a massive organ of sorts. A growth on it pops, causing a monster to drop. This monster is a blend of the flesh from military troops that attempted to stop the monster attack. The team defeat it, causing a glowing, orb-like object to emerge from it. It turns into a revolver, which flies into Ishen’s hands. He grabs it, aims it at the large heart, and shoots it, causing it to shrivel up and die. After it explodes, it transforms into a set monster-like Rifles called Thundercrack. The team then arms themselves with some, and pull out, completing the mission.
