Appleseed Alpha

Characters

Deunan - Her original motive was to find the city of Olympus, but then changed to stopping  Talos' plans.

Briareos - He was the cyborg that originally wanted to find Olympus, but ended up helping Deunan stop Talos' plans.

Two Horns - He was the king of the post war New York and sent Deunan and Briareos on the errand at the very beginning. His motive was to make as much money as he could, until near the end of the film, where he wanted to help Deunan and Briareos stop Talos and Nyx.

Matthews - He is a medic that can also help cyborgs recover from battle.

Olson - Was the other cyborg soldier that accompanied Iris. His goal was to keep Iris away from Talos and Nyx so they couldn't use Iris for their evil plan.

Iris - Her goal was to stay away from Talos and Nyx so they couldn't go through with their evil plan.

Talos - His ambitions to remake the ruined world in his image; he needs Iris to help him complete his 
quest so he must capture her first.

Nyx - Nyx was the accomplice to Talos' plan. She helped Talos capture Iris and use her. 

Plot 
A female soldier named Deunan and her cyborg Briareos survive in the apocalyptic setting of New York after World War III, searching for the legendary city of Olympus. They then run into two very similar characters who are on the run from an evil cyborg who wants to make the world in his image.

Beginning 

We start by seeing Deunan and Briareos in the middle a retrieval mission of a vaccine, which turns into a gunfight which they finish expertly. They then bring the vaccine to Two Horns, who then sends them on another quest, but when they arrive, they see a vehicle containing two people (Iris and Olson) who are about to be ambushed by lots of targets. Deunan and Briareos then save the individuals, but then an air vehicle arrives, which the individuals hide from. The passengers then talk about how they are chasing the individuals and then they leave. Both duos then help each other out and are then on their way, whilst Iris and Olson explain their situation.

Middle

The group then drives for a long while, but in the mean time we are shown a scene when Two Horns' based is destroyed by Nyx. The gang survive, and then are determined to kill Deunan and Briareos. The group then run into Two Horns and his gang but the gang has a battle tank. After a very action packed scene, the group then destroys the tank, but Two Horns survives. Talos then shows up and kidnaps Iris and Olson. He then scans Olson's brain so he knows the location of their base. Talos then kills Olson because he isn't needed for his plan anymore. The rest of the group's goal is then to save Iris and stop Talos.

End

Talos and Nyx then head to Iris' base to retrieve the spider-like mobile battle fortress. This will help him create the world he wants. Two Horns had survived the last fight and decided his real enemy is Talos, so he helps Deunan and Briareos. He gives them an armored mechanical-suit for Deunan to fight in. She then gets on top of the cannon of the spider battle fortress, but is shot at by turrets which destroy the mechanical suit, but she is fine. Briareos tries to help Deunan but runs into conflict with Nyx, who is killed in combat against Briareos. Deunan then arrives at the center of the battle fortress and fights Talos with the help of Iris. The battle is concluded by Iris closing a huge metal door on Talos. The group then destroys the battle fortress but at the cost of Iris' life, because she must stay behind to keep the fortress' shields down. Two Horns then departs from Deunan and Briareos, leaving them with the mechanical suit as a gift. They then head to find the legendary city of Olympus.
