It exists as a thick shell roughly 20 to 25 kilometers from the Earth's surface. If one day, the ozone layer were to be suddenly destroy completely, what will happen to all the living things on earth?? Humans aren't capable of predicting weather anomalies.

Now that's been covered, we take a look back to Versus, as ran all the block, surrounded with snails and people turning into them, looking for Emporio, and can't even find him at all...

Versus: God damn it! Seriously, I thought it'll be easy to find him, but how should I know how he looks like!? He has to be somewhere around here! ...Wait!

As Versus uses Underworld to dig the ground for memories...we then see Emporio making a run for to go after Jolyne and to make a call...

Emporio: Jolyne! Is that you? Listen, I'm making my over and-AUGH!!

Suddenly, Underwolrd happens to appear and to strike and knock down Emporio to the floor unconscious...

Versus: Ha! Found you! And it looks like he's a brat after all!! I did it! Now, let's see where he has it...

As he searches Emporio's body to find the disc...he realizes it isn't on him at all, nor the phone he has on his hand, it just vanished...

Versus: What in the!? He doesn't have the disc?! And where the phone go!? I could've sworn he had it on his hand! Am...I losing my mind?! ...Hold on, chill out, I can find it by excavating his memories and learn about it.

But then, he spots something far from the distance, three persons happen to run down to his direction, and he knew who they are...

Versus: Oh shit! They're coming this way! I have to hide quick!

As Versus drags Emporio's body into the bush, Jolyne (YN) and Ermes rush down and to stop...

(YN): I could've sworn I saw someone here. Jolyne, you sure he came this way?

Jolyne: Totally, I can sense his presence.

Ermes: If I remember correctly too, this is the way Emporio went too, weird....wait, you think he went after Emporio?!

Jolyne: No, no way. Emporio's a secret.

(YN): Yeah, neither does Versus and father know about him-

Jolyne: Wait look!

They spot something behind the bush, and a body to drag through it too...

Ermes: That body...!

(YN): It's Emporio!!

As they rush over to help him, they notice a car driving crazy at their way as they leap away from it, as Ermes and Jolyne to land onto some snails and (YN) safely on the floor...

(YN): Damn, Jolyne, Ermee, y'all alright?

Jolyne: Y-Yeah I'm fine.

Ermee: Same here, Jeez honesty, these slimy bastards are really snails and slippery.

. . . Suddenly, with them being all over the snails, their bodies started to react weirdly, as their body parts slowly started to change into actual snail parts...

Ermes: Wh-What the fuuuck!?!

Jolyne: Sh-Shiit!!

(YN): No!!

Jolyne: D-Don't worry (YN)! Just worry about helping Emporio! He's behind that bush, which means Versus as well and after him!

(YN): Okay!

(YN) makes a run for to go help Emporio, but as soon he gets close, out of nowhere from that bush, a car burst out and to then hit (YN), sending him flying away and crashing to a house...

Jolyne: (YN)!!

Versus: Haha! If you don't notice, this street we are on now, happen to have a lot of accidents! So enjoy getting ran over by the accidents that's been happening here! Oh yeah!

(YN): Nrgh!!

(YN) gets up and to rush after Versus, as more car accidents from the memories started driving towards (YN) like crazy, as he dodged them away, but kept getting hit by them...

Jolyne: No (YN)!!!

Versus: Hahaha!! Don't even keep going after me, if you do, you'll just end up getting ran over lot of times and die for good!! Now die!!

And then...as one car goes in speed towards (YN) to run him over, (YN) quickly stood up on foot, and to use Fulgore's blade to stab and stop the car with brute strength, and to then lift it, spin it and to toss it at Versus as he dodged it...

Jolyne: H-Holy shit!!

Ermes: God damn!

Versus: Wh-What the?! How is he still moving!? Those wrecks should have-AHHH!!

Versus notices (YN) rushing at him with Fulgore out...

Versus: No wait-

Fulgore: Muda!!! Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!

With Fulgore throwing barrage punches to Versus and to knock him down with a final one...

Jolyne: Alright! Way the go (YN)!

Now that Versus is taken care of for good, they can focus on going after and find Weather...Emporio tried to contact the SWF to receive Jocelyn's disc...

Emporio: Dang it, it's no use Jolyne. The SpeedWagon Foundation courier is stuck, so they're on standby until they can get closer to the city.

Jolyne: I see...well, in that case.

Jolyne walks up to a car, open it and to use her threads to connect the wires to manage to turn on the car and get it to work..

(YN): Hehe, alright Hotwire. Still got it, former car thief.

Jolyne: Oh shut up idiot, you know I was innocent and framed!

(YN): Haha, I know I know, just joshing your pants babe.

Jolyne flusters from what (YN) called her...

Jolyne: ...Babe?

(YN): ...O-Oh shit! I mean, well I just-

Jolyne: *giggles* It's alright, darling~

Both gave each other a smile...

Jolyne: Alright, now Versus, you'll be coming with us, and I wouldn't even try running away.

Versus: ...I couldn't even if I try...

As Ermes checks in the car, she notices some snail shells on the front seat, and alot at the back seat...

Ermes: *Huh?? The hells up with these empty shells?? Where could the snails be? Only way to find out is....Wait a minute! ...Holy shit!* Wow Weather, I don't know what you did to cause these snails to show up. But now I get the idea how this phenomenon is going to end!...It's their predators!

Ermes then spotted lots of some black insects looo alike termites that happen to be predators, who eats snails...

Ermes: These bugs hunt down the snails in order to feed on them!  Snails move slow as hell, so being devoured is how they usually go out! So I'm situations like this, bugs crawl into their shells, bite their and suck on their flesh! Rey's bugs are known as snail suckers!!!

(YN): Well god damn Weather, not only you cause everything to turn snails, but you also lure predators to eat everyone who's turn into a snail, holy shit. Okay, we have to move now and find him!

.

Meanwhile, somewhere else at the city, we see Weather walking down still, and Anastasia following him still, not knowing what he's doing or what is going on with him...

Anastasia: Yo Weather! What is going on?! This madness is going on, did you cause this?! Well!?

Weather: ...Shut your mouth, Anastasia...because that man, is heading closer as we speak now. At this point, he's within a 20 meter radius.

Anastasia: By "he" do you mean the priest?!

Weather: ...Yes, he's here. My only reason why I'm continuing to live, is to settle the score with him once and for all!
