Poco después de los eventos del primer juego , Rayne encuentra la sede de Brimstone asediada personalmente por su padre, el señor supremo vampiro Kagan. Mientras Rayne se enfrenta a Kagan, este tortura al profesor Germain, una figura paterna dentro de Brimstone que ayudó a salvar a Rayne cuando era niña. Kagan revela que Brimstone posee el Fragmento Vesper, creyendo que puede usarse como arma contra los vampiros. Mientras Kagan se regodea, Germain obliga a Rayne a huir, provocando una explosión que aparentemente mata a Kagan. Privada del placer de matar a Kagan ella misma, Rayne jura destruir el legado de Kagan exterminando al culto de sus hijos. ^{[ 5 ]}

Decades later, Rayne's quest to exterminate Kagan's remaining followers brings her to a city where the last of his children are operating. The Cult of Kagan are led by Rayne's vampiric half-sibling; her sisters, the ambitious Ephemera and the arrogant Ferrill; and her sycophantic brother, Xerxes. Rayne infiltrates a party hosted by one of her half brothers, Zerenksi, who lures the city's leaders and elites to be massacred.  After Rayne kills Zerenski, she and her handler Severin observe numerous abductions across the cities as increasing vampire attacks are becoming more public and audacious.

During one such attack, Rayne encounters and briefly fights Ephemera. Reaching the city's sewer system, she faces Slezz, a towering vampiric monstrosity the cult uses to breed monstrous children. After killing Slezz, Rayne soon infiltrates a factory run by the cult, attempting to harness the Vesper Shroud, a substance that can render sun rays harmless to vampires, allowing them to surface at all times of the day, and which twists nature into a nightmarish perversion.^[5] Using the Shroud, the Cult has pledged to create a new era of vampiric supremacy, continuing Kagan's legacy, using abduction victims as "fuel" for the shroud.

On the factory's tower, Rayne faces Ferill, and despite her efforts, is incapacitated by debris. During which, it is revealed Kagan is still alive in the present day, operating behind the scenes and is now coming out of hiding. Unaware of Rayne's presence, Kagan blames Ferrill for the factory's disruption; it turns out Ephemera never told Kagan of Rayne so that Ferrill would lose face with him. As Kagan has Ferrill thrown off the tower to her supposed death, Kagan soon has the shroud activated; blotting out the sun, sending vampires and monsters to run amok in the city. Despite this, Rayne is almost ecstatic with the chance of finally facing Kagan.

Cut off from Brimstone, Rayne makes her way throughout the ruined city, fighting through Kagan's forces. Rayn soon confronts Ephemera, who reveals her intent on killing an usurping Kagan. However, Rayne manages to kill Ephemera herself in the ensuing fight. Later, Rayne discovers Ferrill has survived, who is rallying a sect of the cult to go to war as revenge against Kagan. As Ferrill leads her assault on Kagan's tower, Rayne uses the attack to infiltrate it. There, Ferrill is killed by Xerxes, using his invention, the Sun Gun. Xerxes dons a battle suit to fight Rayne, but is ultimately killed.

Con solo Kagan restante, Rayne lo confronta en su sala del trono. Reconociendo los problemas que Rayne le causó, Kagan lamenta el "esfuerzo que le costó" crearla, antes de finalmente enfrentarse a Rayne en batalla. A pesar de que Kagan está potenciado por el fragmento Vesper, Rayne logra derrotarlo y decapitarlo. A pesar de la muerte de Kagan, el sudario permanece, junto con su apocalipsis vampírico. Severin le informa a Rayne que Brimstone se ha recuperado, pero ha declarado la ley marcial y está reprimiendo a cualquier vampiro o ser relacionado, incluyendo a Rayne y Severin. No solo eso, sino que otros señores vampiros vienen a reclamar el reino de Kagan. A sugerencia de Severin, Rayne toma el lugar de Kagan como "Emperatriz" para continuar su lucha por la humanidad.
