Synopsis
Gonard is standing atop a building, with Team LilyMu approaching. Gonard threatens to destroy Tokyo using a remote control he is holding.

Gonard breaks free from the lasso and is about to confront Mikey when a beeping noise is heard, distracting them and forcing Guano to end the scene.
It is revealed that the beeping was due to Mikey microwaving a cheese sandwich. Ozu inquires about a large machine in the studio, which Mikey tells him is a "microwave oven" he found at an abandoned power plant. Mikey retrieves his sandwich, which is now glowing green, from the "microwave". Guano detects that the sandwich is radioactive, convincing Mikey to dispose of it.
