Synopsis for "Return to Starpoint"

Lobo is eating at a place in New Mexico called Sam's Diner, having ordered every item on the menu. One of the customers asks Lobo to eat quieter. Lobo shoves the person, and then takes his keys to his motorcycle. Lobo leaves the diner with the stolen motorcycle, to go to his spaceship, Starpoint.

Meanwhile, Deathstroke, Zealot, and the Omegas arrive at the Maximum Security facility where Lobo was being held. Lobo had escaped the facility 36 hours ago, and time was running out. If the group does not find and kill Lobo soon, Lobo will blow Earth up. Lobo destroyed the main entrance to the facility, so Deathstroke and Zealot enter from the Cooling Tower, while the Omegas stay above ground. Deathstroke needs Intel to learn more about Lobo and his whereabouts. The two walk around the facility. Zealot starts thinking this is a waste of time. Deathstroke thinks otherwise. He thinks that other prisoners had to be here, not just Lobo. Suddenly, a Khundian Warrior strikes Deathstroke from behind, saying "Death to Lobo and to all that serve the last Czarnian!"

The Khund Warrior, named Karlak, was the Chief Slave Master of the Starpoint. Karlak is asked about where Lobo is, and he responds saying that he abandoned him and others in the facility. Karlak wants Lobo, and "all who seek his favor" killed, because Lobo abandoned him. Deathstroke tries telling him that they are not working with Lobo, but looking for him. Zealot threatens Karlak, and he takes it as a challenge.

After Karlak starts attacking, the Omegas come into the facility, as Tigorr smelt his scent, because Karlak imprisoned Tigorr's race on the Starpoint. Primus is going to kill Karlak for what he did to Primus's race, but Deathstroke tells him he needs Karlak alive. After some fighting, Karlak wants to kill Deathstroke so he can sell his Nth metal and get off Earth. Deathstroke short circuits Karlak's armor with a titanium blade, not knowing his life support was connected to the circuitry. Deathstroke starts interrogating Karlak.

Karlak punches Deathstroke and tries to get Kalista, a member of the royal family of Euphorix, as she is worth Nth metal also. Zealot suddenly stabs Karlak in the stomach as she is sworn to protect Kalista at all cost. Before Karlak dies, he exclaims it is too late to stop Lobo as he has most likely reached Starpoint already.

Meanwhile in Colorado, Lobo enters a Remote Military Facility that protects a crater in the earth from many years ago. Lobo "commences decloaking" and in the crater, the Starpoint appears from being invisible. Lobo then happily exclaims that with Starpoint, he will reunite with Sheba and "burn this world to ashes!"
