They embark on a journey to the city of New Angeles, encountering various challenges along the way, including hostile forces and toxic environments. Their travels lead them to a fateful earthquake that recontextualizes their conflict, showcasing the destructive capabilities of nature versus the consequences of human technological advancements.
