Story:

Plot - Deunan (a younge female soldier) and Briareos (a cyborg partner) are trying to survive in a post World War 3 apocalyptic New York City. While doing jobs on the side, Deunan dreams of finding Olympus (the legendary city of hope for humanity).

Beginning - At the start Deunan and Briareos had been set out on a task to obtain a vaccine for Two Horns. On their way back to Two Horns, via. metro train lines, they become under attacked by 3 cyborgs which causes damage to the vaccine. Deunan and Briareos believe that the 3 cyborgs were Two Horns men and that Two Horn is secretly trying to sabotage Briareos. By not bringing back the vaccine they are forced to go on another mission to destroy some drones.

Middle -  This is when they meet Olson and Iris. At that point Olson and Iris did not know about the drones that had gone wild, so Deunan rushes in to save them, while Briareos stayed back to support her. After the drones had been eliminated, Talos and his companions flew to the ceased battlefield in pursuit of Deunan and Briareos' new found friends. After finding no trace of Deunan and Briareos at the site, Talos heads over to the city to see Two Horns. Since Two Horns doesn't know anything about the girl that Talos is looking for, Talos decides to kill Two Horns. Only somehow Two Horns manages to survive. Briareos and his friends set up camp in an abandoned building to stay for the night,  when Two Horns shows up in a tank to kill Briareos. Deunan, Iris, Olson and Briareos fight against them and manage to destroy the henchman followed by the tank. Once that battle had ended Talos shows up and kidnaps Olson and Iris.

End - Briareos, being a cyborg, is able to track Olson, but when they found him they were too late, Olson had been killed and his data on the weapon had been taken, but he did leave behind a data chip for Briareos, so that he could locate the pre-war machine. Immediately they take the jeep and rush to the location. killing 4 enemy cyborgs at the entrance, they rush down the elevator shaft using the jeep. They are then pinned down and struggle to advance to save Iris. This is when Two Horns which had survived the tank explosion, shows up to save the two protagonists from the Tritan forces. Talos end up activating the machine and sets out with Iris (who is held captive) to destroy New York City, what he doesn't know is that Deunan is onboard aswell. She appears infront of Talos and shoots him multiple times, running out of time and being unable to stop the machine through the command console, so they get Briareos to shoot the engine with his rifle on the ourside. Unfortunately Iris had to stay behind to keep the shields down for Briareos to have his opening and ends up dying in the explosion.
