History[]

21st Century[]

In 2009, Adrian Helmsley arrived at the Lincoln Plaza Hotel in Washington D.C. during a fundraiser party to alert government officials about data collected during his time at the Naga Deng Copper Mine in India that shows the Earth's temperature increasing at a rapid pace, which would lead to a series of geological disasters in the upcoming years. He runs into White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser and shows him the data, to which Anheuser takes Adrian to see President Thomas Wilson.

2012 Apocalypse[]

In late 2012, as the government was preparing to evacuate the White House and pack significant treasures, Professor West revealed that the Yellowstone Caldera erupted and the subsequent ash cloud would reach Washington in seven hours, Anhueser, Adrian, First Daughter Laura Wilson and several other government officials evacuated the White House and board Air Force One, with President Thomas Wilson staying to address the nation one last time.

Washington is seen being covered in a volcanic ash cloud that erupted from the Yellowstone Caldera in the night, with many refugees from earthquake-battered cities taking shelter in the White House and the establishment of medical camps to provide first aid and disaster relief. It was later hit by a massive 9.4 magnitude earthquake which centered in North Chesapeake Bay causing everyone to struggle to survive. Shortly, it destroyed the Washington Monument, killing everybody outside the White House. 

While the Earth's crust shifted, President Wilson, one of the remaining survivors of the massive earthquake, awoke and saw the USS John F. Kennedy, along with a mega-tsunami, heading to the White House. As a result, he was crushed to death by the USS John F. Kennedy, which then destroyed the White House and swept away most of the remaining buildings that stood.

In the aftermath of the apocalypse, the remains of Washington D.C. are submerged underwater and are rendered uninhabitable from the apocalyptic disasters.
