Possible storyline
The enemy are terrorists. As each fight takes place in each area - explosives have been placed i.e. the battles were distractions for the "real" purpose. The final boss battle is when this information is revealed. As any player falls in combat so one of the areas is blown up. Effectively a city held to ransom. The players having come from different walks of life are hero's of the moment i.e. stepping out of their ordinary lives to make a difference on this most terrible of days. Background information could cover issues such as isolated town, communications cut off, police station blown up etc.
Alternative storyline
The town is being taken over person by person through the wicked machinations of a scientist using brainwashing machine (variation could be conspiracy theory involving a "lost artifact" i.e. illuminati etc). The brainwashed seek to take others for brainwashing and the various type of characters are people who stepped up initially to defend someone then carried on as the conspiracy unfolds. One variation might be using an ability during the boss fight for temporary mind control (i.e. boss with less powerful hand unit for brainwashing), thus creating secondary havoc in the boss fight.
Another alternative Storyline
You are a new gang moving in on another gang's territory. The fights are to take out the defending gang members until you reach the boss.
