Isaac's team is a group created in the Moriah Caverns that would intend to escape the treacherous basement.

## Story

After Isaac first found Maggy and Cain stranded in the Basement, he decided to team up with them and find a way out. Later on, Judas would join their ranks, although he was met with a lot of suspicion. Despite his shifty demeanour, he genuinely wanted to escape the Basement. Eve and Samson would later join the party at the same time, despite their rivalry, and at the end of their debut run, Eden would also be welcomed to the party. At this point, Isaac would also realize what was actually happening: He wasn't in the Basement. He was dying in his toy chest.

### Unwilling to die

Isaac, struggling with the idea that he was actually dying, had created ???, a glitchy blue womb, where a manifestation of his unwillingness to die, **hush**, would attack them. After the beast's destruction, Isaac continued with his crisis, going ahead of the others into the Cathedral. In the starting room, the team would find Bethany and Lazarus, who would contribute to the search for Isaac. Eventually, at the heart of the Cathedral, Isaac would be found crying, not wanting to die. The party told him to get a hold of himself, and realizing that their help would kill him, Isaac fought his former teammates. After the battle, Isaac jumped in a large, gold chest, to find somewhere to hide from his allies. The others would chase him in, to find the chest much larger inside than outside. Isaac had found himself stuck in a room with a corpse; **his** corpse. The door being locked, Isaac could not bring himself to accept his death, and attacked the Blue Baby, to no avail. After some encouragement from his allies, Isaac overcame his fear of death, and demolished the body in battle. To his surprise, the corpse would follow him, although it would not attack him or his allies, so that was an indication that it probably wanted to help.

### The evil inside Isaac's mind

Recognising what the Basement really was, Isaac tried to visualize his inner demons, but could not change the higher levels of the caverns. The party had fought their way to the end of the Womb, where instead of his Mother's heart, a fetus had attacked instead, more specifically, a fetal version of Isaac. He had simply attributed it to his self loathing, but putting that aside, the group headed for the Sheol, the manifestation of Isaac's inner demons. Isaac had found a friendly demon named Azazel, who claimed to be the son of the Sheol's king. He said he wanted to fight back against his father, but he needed help. The group trusted Azazel, all except for Judas, who was stranded by the others. As it turns out, Azazel was worthy of Judas' doubt, as it turns out the demon was leading the gang to a trap by order of his father, Satan. Judas ended up having to fight Satan, but when the situation started to overwhelm him, Azazel came to his rescue, defeating Satan, leaving him to retreat into a large, red chest. Freeing the others, Azazel was redeemed and was accepted into the group, as they chased after Satan. Satan's new hiding place was a Dark series of Rooms, with a rather large door in the beginning room. The party found Satan, but he left them to fight a demonic, skeletal Lamb and fled. Chasing after him, the group ran into a skeleton, who had Forgotten their identity. They joined the others, finding no reason not to, while also telling them about the Gilded Door, opening it with a large key. The party had then battled Satan in his true form.

### Delirium

After Satan's defeat, the caverns began to shake, as it started to become unstable. The ground broke from under the team, leaving them to fall into The Void, a glitchy mess of different places in the Basement. They were greeted by Apollyon, a stone statue creature, and found their way to **hush**, having become a being that embodied Isaac's new found acceptance of his fate. In a last ditch effort, it attacked the party again, but not before a large being known as Ultra Greed joined in the fight. Delirium destroyed Ultra Greed for impeding their battle, and out came two new allies for Isaac's team, the Keeper and Lilith. Ultimately, Delirium was vanquished, and the Basement had began to overstress itself. It ended up making a new path to find a new ending to the story, one where Isaac escapes, reviving Mom in the process. Isaac would have a tagalong, though, in the form of a friendly ghost, who had Lost their way and wished to repent. The group attempted to construct a knife that would break the basement, but they ended up having to use it on Mom's heart to kill her once and for all. Her womb having gone grey and rotten, the cast traversed her corpse, finding and killing what remained of Isaac's Mother. Jacob and Esau, two devoted brothers, joined the cause afterwards. After this, Isaac and Maggy had a talk about Isaac's intense hatred of his mother. Isaac, recognising Maggy to be a reconstruction of his mother, simply explained that his mom wasn't very good to him. Maggy said his dad wasn't very good to him either, and Isaac, looking back, agreed. Then, he realised what was going on, and went through the Basement one more time. The group had found Joshua's last message to Isaac before leaving, an "I'm Sorry" note. Isaac, taking this note, realised that his mother suffered because she had been lied to, by the salvation she had sought out. Rising through the basement, Isaac's party members had disappeared one by one, until all that was left was Isaac, Maggy, Cain and Judas, as they entered Isaac's Home.

### Finale

Maggy, sleeping in Isaac's mother's bed, had recollected a memory of Isaac's mom finding a televangelist church during her time of distress, and a being that would whisper things in her ear. Horrid things, that God would, ironically, frown upon. Maggy directed the group to the television, and punched the glass hard. This called out the being that represented televangelism and had turned Isaac's Mom insane. After defeating Dogma, Isaac was all alone, in a hellish landscape, fighting The Mother of Harlots and her Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Vanquishing the Beast, Isaac's mind had reached a boiling point, in which **hush** had returned once again, to attack the survivors, all 18 having returned. They destroyed **hush**, and Isaac's mind had finally given up and died.

### Aftermath

Isaac had ended up in a white void, with none of his allies alongside him. Then, Eden would appear. Eden told Isaac their true identity, and that they could bring Isaac back to life in a better timeline. Isaac refused this, answering that it wouldn't be as simple as putting his parents back together. Despite Isaac's refusal, he and Eden would agree, alongside Conquest, to give souls to their teammates, and let them see the real world. Isaac had died, but Maggy, Cain, Judas, Eve, Samson, Lazarus, Bethany, Azazel, Lilith, Apollyon, Jacob and Esau would live to see the sun.

In 2004, the group split up into three smaller groups; Eve, Samson and Lilith, Judas, Lazarus, Bethany and Apollyon, and Cain, Azazel, Jacob and Esau. Maggy would live alone, but not in solitude, in a small house on top of a hill. They would still keep in touch, and gather on special occasions.
