A few moments earlier.
Thousands of escape pods fell through the stormy clouds of the mysterious planet.
Kael and his consorts held on within one of the escape pods.
Suddenly, within the darkness of the escape pod's interior, Kael's eyes shone brightly as Jin's memories automatically rose up in his mind.
"Everyone, get ready, the world won't let the escape pods pass through!" Kael said in the group chat that they had set up before the operation.
Almost at the same time, the sound of raging thunder and lightning resounded across the sky.
*BOOM!*
One escape pod was struck clean by one of the swift purple lightning strikes. The world went white for a brief period before returning to its normal colour.
When the flash was gone, all that was left was a falling lion king.
The lion king, having been prepared by the group chat, reacted fast and didn't act surprised. He summoned hordes of needles and refined metal plates to form a sphere around him while he dived straight down.
