Synopsis
The story began on a remote facility in the middle of the ocean. An unknown organization attacked the island, leaving the head scientist as the sole survivor. The scientist is then rescued by an unknown soldier. The story's timeline flashes back 2 weeks ago. The soldier and his team have just finished sabotaging rebel operations in an unspecified South American village when they are attacked mid-flight over the Pacific. Escaping the destroyed craft in time, they are scattered all over a small island.
The main character is ambushed by his own soldiers, who appear to be deranged, After hearing an explosion, Shadow transports the main character to a hidden facility. Here, he rescues the scientist. After the battle, the Scientist explains the nerve toxin that turned soldiers deranged. He then sends the Strike Force to obtain the cure. However, they are again attacked by the same unknown organization. During a battle in an iron foundry, the team Medic, Toad, recovers intel about the Organization, revealing its name to be Globex.
The team would battle Globex forces on many battlefields until they board a train carrying a nuclear ballistic missile. The missile is intended to annihilate the virus as Globex does not want to be accused for the incident. Despite their efforts, the Strike Force were too late to stop the launch. The main character is then transported to the missile to switch the warhead with the cure.
In a last ditch attempt, the Globex Leader steps in to stop the soldier from switching the warhead. The Globex Leader is defeated after heavy fighting, but he attempts to bring the soldier down with him. The soldier simply replies:
Sorry, but I fly solo.
With this, the soldier escapes, leaving the Globex Leader to die in the explosion. The explosion spreads the cure all over the area, curing the infected.
Several weeks later, the Scientist contacts someone. He apologizes to the mysterious but familiar figure and informs the figure about the toxin, revealing that there is still toxin samples and the cure stored by him.
