"Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm..."
When Time Master and Golden Pioneer woke up, they found themselves in the prison area of the spaceship.
"We're screwed!" Golden Pioneer, his idiot teammate, shouted. "Prime Universe Bat stole our spaceship and dumped us in the prison area to wait for death!"

Time Master easily used the password to open Golden Pioneer's shackles and the door to their cell. "Batman and we have an understanding. He merely borrowed our spaceship temporarily. All we need to do now is take a look at where we are, then set off again. Hopefully, he didn't use up too much of the ship's energy—"

"Damn it, where did Batman bring us?" Golden Pioneer shouted. "Waaah, I don't like Batman anymore!"
"Maybe some sort of cavern or..." Time Master worked the controls furiously, then said, "All right.
