A tiny mistake could cost Camazotz his life. He knew that very well.
Despite knowing that his opponent was a Celestial, one of the Apex Beings in the world of Solterra, he still resolved himself to fight.
The previous him wouldn't have done such a dangerous thing. But after fighting alongside Thirteen and Cranky against the Majin King, something in him changed.

Witnessing both scenes had moved him. Since then, Camazotz longed to experience the same thing, even pestering Cranky to be his sworn brother.
In the end, the Honey Badger had been pestered into agreeing. If it had a choice, it didn't want to. But the Death Bat was too annoying, and Cranky wanted his peace back.
