Rampage
The Energyne company was located in the Willis Tower in Chicago. Following the destruction of the Athena-1 space station, Energyne CEO Claire Wyden and her brother Brett Wyden attempted to retrieve the samples of the Project Rampage pathogen which had crash landed on Earth across the United States. After discovering that the pathogen had already been administered to Ralph and George, Claire planned to use a transmitter atop the Willis Tower to send out a low frequency signal that the mutant animals would respond to; George, who was held in a plane by the Department of Homeland Security with Davis Okoye and Dr. Kate Caldwell in custody, would bring down the plane and kill Kate in the process; Ralph would be drawn to Chicago, killed by the military, and Energyne would extract the pathogen.
After the signal was activated, Ralph indeed advanced towards Chicago, and was later joined by George - who survived the plane crash - and the two arrived in the city. The U.S. military was unable to repel the two monsters, who were quickly overwhelming their forces. Not long after, the two mutants were joined by Lizzie, who was also drawn to the transmitter's signal and entered the city through the Chicago River. The military was unable to halt the three mutant's advance, and an airstrike with a Massive Ordnance Air Blast was called as a last resort.
Meanwhile, Davis Okoye and Kate Caldwell infiltrated the Willis Tower to get R-19 samples. They were able to get three of them before they were caught by Claire and Brett, who were preparing to evacuate. The Wyden siblings forced Davis and Kate to hand over the R-19 samples, before Claire shot Davis in order to coerce Kate to go with them to the top of Willis Tower as the three monsters began to ascend it. Before the Wyden siblings could get into their helicopter with Kate, intending for her to later reengineer the pathogen, George reached the top of the tower. Brett fled down the building, and George severely damaged the chopper before attacking the transmitter. Meanwhile, Davis - who had survived his wound as it did not hit any vital organs - reunited with Kate, and the two planned to administer an R-19 sample Kate pocketed to George. Claire once again held them at gun point, but Davis called George over while Kate slipped her R-19 sample into Claire's purse, which had the rest of the samples collected, and George devoured Claire and the R-19 samples by proxy. Meanwhile, Brett reached the ground floor of the Willis Tower, where he was caught by Russell, who let him go in exchange for him handing over the computer and a pet rat. But just as Brett exited the building, he was crushed by a large chunk of debris as the building began to collapse. Ralph reached the top, and Lizzie continued towards the top, while Davis and Kate got into the Wyden siblings' damaged helicopter, and used it to glide down just over the Willis Tower as it fell.
After the tower collapsed, George emerged from the rubble, the R-19 samples having successfully returned him to his normal disposition. Ralph and Lizzie emerged from the rubble themselves, and Kate left in a Humvee to try and get Russell to call off the air strike, while Davis and George stayed behind to fight the two mutants. George struck Lizzie with a chunk of metal, sending her rolling into a building back. Ralph then attacked George, and the two briefly fought before Ralph managed to get the upper hand. However, Davis fired on Ralph with a grenade launcher and tricked the wolf into flying right into an attacking Lizzie's jaws. Lizzie killed Ralph with a deathroll, decapitating him before turning her attention to George and Davis. Davis drew her attention with grenade launcher fire until he ran out of ammunition. Lizzie chased after Davis, destroying buildings around her and causing Davis to fall, dazing him. Lizzie prepared to kill Davis, before George attacked her from behind. George climbed onto her jaws, attacking at her head, but it did not seem to harm her significantly, and she flung him off, before overwhelming him. However, Davis flung a belt full of grenades into her gills, causing the mutant crocodile to collapse. However, Lizzie quickly got up, and attempted to crush Davis with her club tail, but George stopped it just in time. Lizzie flung George off her tail club and into a metal pole, which impaled him through the chest. Pressing her advantage, Lizzie once again overwhelmed George, biting his limbs and throwing him around. Davis quickly got into a fallen Apache helicopter and fired at Lizzie, drawing her attention away from George. Lizzie attacked Davis, attempting to kill him, when George leapt in and drove the metal spike he was previously impaled by into Lizzie's eye, piercing her brain and killing her. With the threats eliminated, the airstrike was called off.
George seemingly succumbed to his wounds but revealed that he was playing dead as a joke for Davis. George then helped rescue civilians who had still been trapped in the city.
