Added by Mistertrouble189After Ed's helicopter crashes, Isabela comes to the helipad and saves Frank from the zombies, but later informs him that he is now infected. Frank then collects supplies required for the zombification cure. Once Frank has acquired the necessary items, Isabela creates a temporary serum to delay the effects of zombification. She then sends Frank to capture 10 queens, which are used by Isabela to fashion a zombie repellent pheromone. While Frank is looking for the items and queens, however, he discovers that there is a gaping hole in the clock tower, as a result of Ed DeLuca's crash, to which he tells Isabela. She and Frank then decide to descend into the dark depths of the unknown, as a way for them both to escape the mall.
After long walking through the tunnels, the duo reach a rusted gate, where the military has established a defensive perimeter. Frank activates a lever, raising the gate and distracting the military long enough for them to enter, where they promptly face the commander of the military clean-up operation, Brock Mason. Frank commandeers a humvee while Isabela manipulates the machine gun mounted on the back. After the fight Isabela and Frank's Humvee is tipped over, Frank engages Brock in combat, while Isabela climbs onto the top of the car to avoid the zombies. After Brock is killed, the game ends, with Isabela being stranded ontop of the car, surrounded by zombies. As the camera pans out for one last time, she and the jeep are mysteriously absent; in the credits it states that Frank was able to survive and spread the story of what really happened at Willamette and Santa Cabeza. She is one of the very few, besides Frank, Otis, and any survivors Frank rescued, that officially survive Dead Rising.
Dead Rising: Road to Fortune
Edit



Added by TalkNShootWhile she doesn't make a physical appearance in the series. Isabela is featured in a flashback recalled by Frank West during his first meeting with Rebecca Chang. Frank mentions that after escaping Willamette, he and Isabela were separated by homeland security agents who intercepted them after their escape helicopter landed.
Agent Cornell of the DHS orders his men to take Isabela into custody for her and her brother's involvement in the Willamette Incident. When Frank tries to intervene, Cornell explains that the DHS had been aware of what Isabela and Carlito had been up to for some time, and expresses his thanks for killing Carlito. Cornell also warned Frank that should he intervene, the DHS could just as easily make up a story about him being Isabela's co-conspirator, and arrest him for it.
All that Frank West can do is watch helplessly as Isabela Keyes is taken away.
Dead Rising 2
Edit
It is revealed by Stacey Forsythe that Isabela was working on a cure for zombification for those who have been bitten, but not yet turned.
Case West
Edit
Isabela is shown to be working for the Phenotrans Corporation as a way to atone for her and her brother's crimes in Willamette. Working from a secure lab in a Phenotrans Facility, she attempts to create a cure for the zombie plague, but Phenotrans doesn't mass produce it because they know that it would hurt their profits. Towards the end of the game, Isabela is knocked unconscious by Harjit Singh (Chief of Security for the Phenotrans Facility), and is taken hostage by Marian Mallon (Phenotrans Facility Director) as the facility self-destructs. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
Infinity Mode
Edit
Isabela appears in Al Fresca Plaza at 1:00:00 - 1:07:00 and the North Plaza at 6:19:00 - 7:00:00 and is armed with a handgun and motorcycle. When killed, she drops a pack of cookies, a carton of milk, an energizer juice drink, a pick ax, and a shotgun.
Battle Style
Edit



Added by Mistertrouble189Isabela attacks Frank while on her motorcycle, armed with a handgun. If Frank remains out of the open for too long, she will drive away to a hallway in North Plaza, and will only return once Frank steps into the open.
Motorcycle: Isabela will attempt to run over Frank if he is in the open. This attack causes two blocks of damage and will throw Frank into the air.
Handgun: If Frank is in a location that cannot be reached by the motorcycle, Isabela will stop and pull out her handgun. She will fire at Frank, each time causing half a block of damage.
Notes
Edit
- If Frank leaves the area or enters Seon's Food & Stuff during the battle, Isabela will flee and Frank will miss out on all remaining cases. This also happens if Frank doesn't defeat her before midnight.
- When she is being escorted in Overtime Mode, she cannot be equipped and has to hold hands or be carried, but she is also immune to all damage.
