in Earth's orbit, we see a fleet's worth of portals rip open and what came out of them were Helghan Empire warships, and among them was Aiden's Helghast warship ''The Red October''

inside the Red October's command deck, we see Aiden staring out at Earth's surface and at the current state America has been in now since he left months ago

(America looks like this now and yes, it's now completely divided and messed up since the ''Ever After Uprising'')

Aiden growled in so much anger at knowing Linda took part in the Forever Purge by joining The PPF (Purge Purification Force), of whom they planned and started this whole genocide while the rest of the world did nothing but watch in amazement at seeing America falling apart

Aiden: the Purgers will soon pay for their crimes.

then a Helghast Officer walked into the command deck and saluted to Aiden

Helghast Officer: General, you're needed by the Autarch. He wishes to talk to you now that we've arrived in your Earth's orbit.

Aiden nodded in response to the Officer, walked past him, and left the command deck, leaving the Officer alone as he stared out at America on Aiden's Earth

Helghast Officer: My God, that's too much chaos.

(French Voice: Later)

In the War room, we see Aiden arrive and approach the war-table, where a hologram of Visari is seen on the table as Aiden saluted to the Autarch of the Helghan Empire

Aiden: My Autarch, is there something you need me to do now?

Visari: why yes, there is. Now that we've arrived on your Earth, my senators are suggesting that we should send a recon team to your (growls angrily) America to find any survivors hiding from the Purgers hunting them.

Aiden: (raises eyebrow) what about Orlock?

Visari: he suggested that we should kill everyone on your Earth, but my senators disagreed with him because if we do that, we'd be turning your Earth into another version of our barren home world.

Aiden: Let me guess? You want me to lead the recon team to find any survivors, right?

Visari: Exactly. And if you find any valuable intel about the Forever Purgers, inform me immediately.

Aiden: I won't let you down.

Then Visari ended communication and Aiden looked at a nearby Helghast officer and pointed at him

Aiden: I'm going down to Earth. Assemble a recon team and tell them to meet me at one of the dropships.

The Helghast officer nodded and began to send a message to any recon teams available while Aiden left the war room to get ready for his mission

(The U.S.A... or what's left of it)

In the outskirts of El Paso, TX, we see a Helghan Dropship arrive on American Soil as Aiden & a handful of Helghast Troopers stepped off the ship and looked around the desert of Texas

Then as they turned around, they see the Border Wall that was constructed a few years before the Purge Uprising began months ago

Helghast Trooper 1: What kind of a wall is that?

Aiden: that, trooper, is the American Border Wall, it was designed to keep anyone not American out of the country, such as Mexicans for example. Also, remember, we have a mission to find survivors and find intel, but we can't use the dropship to find them because we can't risk our presence from being revealed yet.

Then he took notice of a Black pickup truck, which appears to be flipped over recently, which made him smirk in having an idea for that Truck

Aiden: I know just the vehicle for the job.

(Timeskip to El Paso, TX)

We see the Black Pickup truck, which is being driven by Aiden while a small group of his Helghast Troopers were riding on the back of the truck as it was driven through the city of El Paso, which is littered with Blood from innocent people killed during the Ever After Purge, Trash, wrecked vehicles, rubble from explosions and so on...

Helghast Trooper 2: My God. This is messed up.

Helghast Trooper 3: agreed.

He and the other Troopers nod in agreement after they saw a Kindergarten school that has the PPF (Purge Purification Force) symbol spray painted on the school's name and has many dead bodies of little kids all over the grass, playground and probably inside the school too

Seeing that Kindergarten school's brutal scenery made Aiden sick to his stomach, but in an angry way as he continued driving through the city

While the truck is cruising through the city, we see a mysterious figure watching them from the distance with a stern look in his eyes

Back with the Truck, we see Aiden driving near a run-down movie theatre until... the truck stopped driving, making Aiden sigh at knowing what just happened as he then stepped out of the vehicle and grabbed his weapon

Aiden: alright men, get off the vehicle. We ran out of gas, so we're going to have to find our survivors on foot.

Then he looked at the movie theatre

Aiden: and I think we might have to go through that Theatre, there might be an alley in the back of it and if there's any purgers, be prepared.

His Troopers nod and ready their rifles as they head towards the theatre and enter the building. After they entered the theatre, the mysterious person that was following Aiden & the Helghast troopers is seen staring at the theatre and pulled out his radio and spoke through it

???: Charlie, unknown soldiers entered the theatre you're in now. Be prepared if you and the others encounter them.

Charlie Roan: (through radio) Got it.

Then the mysterious person put his radio away and continued to follow Aiden & the Helghast as he entered the theatre

(IN THE THEATRE)

As Aiden and his squad entered one of the screening rooms, they see that the whole room is a mess due to popcorn everywhere on the floor and a few bodies here and there. Some bodies were civilains while the rest of the bodies were just Purgers, which they appeared to have died very recently as Aiden grew suspicious at seeing the recently dead civilians and purgers

Aiden: men, be on your guard. I don't were alone in here.

Helghast Trooper 4: yeah, because we already noticed that the bodies were recent, sir.

Helghast Trooper 5 then pulled out his tablet and sees multiple dots heading near their location in the theatre

Helghast Trooper 5: Uh, General. We've got company!

Then from behind the Helghast Recon Team, many armed people barged through the doors and from the theatre seats, more armed people were hiding until they jumped out and they all aimed their guns at the Helghast, who also aimed their rifles at the people surrounding them and were about to shoot them, but Aiden lifted his hand up, signaling his troops to hold their fire

Then the mysterious stranger and a familiar woman walked through the theatre room's entrance, revealing themselves to be Leo Barnes

and Charlie Roan (AKA: the former president of America before the Forever Purge started)

meaning that if she's here, that means that the people surrounding Aiden & his troops are just Anti-Purger Resistance fighters

Aiden widened his eyes under his helmet in recognizing Charlie Roan since he saw her on TV when he was 12 years old

Leo Barnes: who are you people? A new Purger faction?

Then Aiden grew angry as he pulled his pistol out and aimed it at Leo's face, but Charlie also pulled a pistol out as her resistance fighters aimed at both Aiden & his troops

Aiden: We are not a Purge Faction. Me and my troops hate them as much as everyone else that survived in this country.

Charlie: (stern eyes) then what's with that Nazi looking arm band.

Aiden glared at her

Aiden: the symbol on it isn't a nazi symbol. It's a symbol of the faction I serve under: The Helghan Empire.

Charlie, Leo, and the resistance fighters were now confused after hearing Aiden say ''The Helghan Empire'' because they never heard of it before, which is understandable because.... You people know why it's understandable
