Living homeless in an alley of Delta, Kid Pestilence reads in a newspaper that the Hens, the perennially defeated Delta City sports team have actually succeeded in winning a match six to nothing, a sign of the End Times. He reunites with the other members of the Four Mopeds, who have observed similar signs. Together, they perform the ritual to summon the nether god Flying Buttress.
