Plot[]
Having acquired their flight abilities, Larguirucho and Nezumi Otoko are seen flying in Jakku and they wonder how they got there, but their conversation is cut short when they are chased by the four First Order TIE Fighters. As they are chasing each other around the Imperial Star Destroyer Graveyard, one TIE Fighter nearly blasts Nezumi Otoko in his right arm. He retaliates by spitting at the TIE Fighter's left attachment point, which causes the fighter to electrocute and explode.
Nezumi Otoko triumphantly laughs as he has destroyed the TIE Fighter, while he and Larguirucho are still being chased by the three TIE Fighters. The two get out their smartwatches to call their friends for reinforcements, and afterwards they decide to do the barrel roll, dodging the shots of the fighters. To hijack the two TIE Fighters, they lure the TIE pilots out of the fighters and mount in.
The last First Order TIE Fighter is still around, chasing the two hijacked TIE Fighters. The TIE pilot brags as he is about to blast Larguirucho and Nezumi Otoko out of the sky, but not before Super Hijitus, Kitarō, Medama Oyaji and Ittan-Momen intervene and destroy the fighter (with Kitarō using Hair Needles on it and Super Hijitus flying through and punching its right attachment point).
The TIE pilot, having used an ejector seat to eject from his damaged fighter destroyed by Kitarō and Super Hijitus, swears to them that "you will get yours for this one day". The Hijitus and Kitarō squad then fly away as the short ends.
