“Really? Deal!” he shouts in excitement, rushing forward and grabbing your left in his own as Chilli glares at him. You focus on the Martian's ki, teleporting the three of you out of the cell just before the gas reached you. But as you go to let go of his hand, realize something's wrong. You can't!
“Wha-?” you say, looking down only to see Divine Dragon Force has bound both of your hands with its crimson body. “Wait, what?”
“The promise has been made.” your Stand says, turning and looking to him. “The terms have been set and the deal is struck. For his freedom, Lobo of Czarnia will never attack General Karn of the PTO or any of his people ever again. The consequence of breaking this vow: DEATH.”
Its eyes then flash, blinding the both of you for a moment and causing you both to recoil from one another. But your hands release each others, your Stand vanishing in the flash.
“What the frag was that?” Lobo asks you, an accusatory tone in his voice. “Why'd yer little arm lizard make us hold hands like that?”
“Arm lizard?” Superman asks, looking back and forth between you and Lobo, clearly confused. “I feel like I missed something.”
“I did not see any lizard.” the Martian says, sounding just as confused as you are, looking at your right arm curiously. “Perhaps another special power?”
“Enough talking, we gotta move.” Chilli shouts, rushing past you all towards a quartet of floating machines and swinging his sword in a horizontal slash. Magical energy surges forth, the sword's light forming a slashing curved blade that cuts through the air towards them.
“Return to your enclosu-” the machines start projecting, when his blade's energy connects, bisecting the four of them. The four drop to the ground, unmoving while your son turns back to you all. “Which way leads us out of here?”
“Oh no. Once this gas wears off, I'm gonna grind that Preserver into kibble an' feed him to his varmints.”
“We should just get our ships and leave.” Superman counters, which surprises you. Why would a Kryptonian need a space ship? Does he not know his kind can breathe in space?
“If you want to run like a coward that's fine, your little rinky-dink toy rocket is in the south hanger, right where I left it by my hog.” Lobo says, pointing off towards a balcony overlooking what seems to be a jungle. Just how BIG is this place? “The docking bay is just on the other side of that jungle.”
