[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he is being chased by a 韱 chain gang of escaped convicts. He uses a special device to summon a bunch of 歹 skeletons to protect him and the pawn shop from being 殲 annihilated. Unfortunately, the 歹 skeletons are quite weak, and get 殲 annihilated by the 韱 chain gang in a matter of seconds, their now-broken bones scattered across the lawn.
