After escaping the Type 5 Void, Arika found herself wandering the ruins of New York, aimlessly. She knew she needed to find some kind of shelter, somewhere safe to survive.
And that's when she found the Protector Network. An isolated group of survivors, led by the relentless Olivia, who have banded together to protect others from the dangers of aliens. In addition to the 6 factions, there are several other groups just as large. Together, they fought for survival in a world ravaged by the apocalypse.
Arika joined them, grateful to have found companions in the fight for survival. She decided to work alongside Olivia, helping to protect the other survivors and find a safe place to live.
As Arika fought for her own survival, she never forgot her father's words, which echoed in her mind: "No matter what happens, never give up on your dreams. Even in this world, you can be happy." She moved on, determined to survive and find happiness in a world so dark and full of danger.
