What happens

Monsters: Dark Continent (also known as Monsters 2: Dark Continent or simply Monsters 2) is a 2014 British science fiction monster film directed by Tom Green and co-written by Green and Jay Basu. It is the sequel to 2010's Monsters, directed by Gareth Edwards. Due to commitments with Godzilla, Edwards did not return to direct, but served as an executive producer. Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able also do not reprise their roles from the first film and new characters were introduced. Filming began in March 2013, taking place in Jordan and Detroit (U.S.). The film premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on 9 October 2014. Originally scheduled for a wide release on 28 November, the film was pushed back to 1 May 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
