"Well that was dramatic." Hal said.
"It was. Now let's settle everything. I am sure the Nova Prime is waiting for us." John said as he started walking to the main hatch of Dark Aster. Now this huge spaceship finally belonged to him. He changed himself back to John.
John and others finally went out of Dark Aster only to see Rocket, Groot and Peter waiting for him. Even the Nova Prime was there standing. They all had smiles on their faces when they saw everything went well.
"Ronan's body and dead bodies of bunch of soldiers are inside, You can retrieve them whenever you please. I hope you will honor the deal between us." John said.
"Of course we will. We will also help you repair the ship. You and the other heroes have done such a great service to us. You will be regarded as heroes in the Nova Empire." the Nova Prime said.
"Thanks. You can honor them but I won't be joining this." John said as he really didn't want another place where he is known everywhere.
"Sure. I wonder what all of your identities are." the Nova Prime asked as she saw new guys which she had never seen before.
"The motion pictures I made will tell all their stories and their origin. It was for this reason I made a deal with you all. The heroes' stories should be told to everyone. And movies and series are the best way to do that." John said.
"I understand. I will help you propagate the movies in all of Nova Empire." she said.
After that they all went back. The whole 'guardians of galaxy' team were tired after such a long fight and they needed rest. Yondu came up to meet with John and others. He was little bit afraid of John. Even though he hadn't seen him fight but just the fact that they killed Ronan scared him so he knew he couldn't cross paths against him.
After talking a bit with Peter he left with his crew. He even said that Peter didn't need to come back and could make his own team. Quill rejoiced on this prospect.
John and others reached his huge home to freshen up and rest. The Nova Prime again invited them to a huge banquet which they attended that night and discussed about the new company in the entertainment sector under Lex Corporation.
The Nova Prime accepted this too as it would everything easier while Lex discussed the business prospect of it. The banquet went in a very pleasant and loud manner. Thanks to Rocket and Drax being drunk all the way.
The next day everybody woke up late, Hal had already left because he had other recruits to take care of. John would check up on Emma every once in a while after he got his hands on inter stellar communicator after coming to Xandar and thus knew she was fine.
John missed her but he also knew she was living her dreams and she assured her that she would be back by the end of the year. Her sector was in the Kree Empire so she had to be careful around as the Kree Empire was powerful enough.
As John was thinking about all this he suddenly got a call from an unknown person. He got intrigued by this as the connection to his communicator was very private.
"This is John Jameson."
"Hello Mr. Jameson. This Yon-Rogg of Kree Empire. I hope you have been well." said the other person who appeared in the video.
"Oh.. Yon-Rogg.. What is the house call for? To persecute me for killing Ronan?" John said.
"No. Mr. Jameson. Ronan had breached the agreement between us and the Nova Empire. We don't really care about what happens to Ronan." Yon-Rogg replied.
"Than what is the call for?" John asked.
"We would like you to return the Dark Aster to us. This belongs to us. Ronan had been illegally using the spaceship and refused to give it back. We had been hunting him for this for the same reason. Hope you can comply to this request." Yon-Rogg said.
"Is that all? Then you can tell your superior that it wouldn't be possible as it's mine the moment I killed Ronan. I don't think Hala would be petty enough to hold a grudge against me for it." John replied.
"But Mister, this actually belongs to Kree." Yon-Rogg said.
"Doesn't matter. I am not giving up Dark Aster." John said with a more dominating tone.
"Are you sure you want to go to war for just a spaceship." Yon-Rogg now asked in a more loud tone and an assertive tone.
"War? Is the supreme intelligence stupid enough to go to war against me? You couldn't even handle the betrayal of a single rogue agent who defected on the other side. Do you think you can handle me when you couldn't even handle her." John said now.
"Come out Supreme Intelligence. I know you are listening to the conversation." John continued.

"Seems like you know a lot about us." another voice said as there appeared an old woman's image on the screen. The image of the woman was apparent that it wasn't real because that woman actually didn't exist in reality.
The woman was the embodiment of Supreme Intelligence. She was a very advanced AI who was the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire. Her knowledge was an accumulation of Kree's previous scientist, philosophers, thinkers and other such notable personas that had died in Kree history. She basically was like Ultron but with lesser violence.
John knew about her from the comics and from the movie of 'Captain Marvel'.
"Oh yes I know a lot from your experiments of inhumans to the betrayal of Carol. So would you still threaten me?" John asked. The supreme intelligence didn't show any emotion as being a supreme AI you can always tend to show almost no emotions.
"You just made an enemy out of Thanos by killing one member of the Black Order. Are you sure you can handle the enmity of the Kree too."
"I just made an ally with Nova and do you really think that Thanos scares me? Or do you think your Kree has any juice left after the war against the Skrull? You should care about your own species and their survival. The pure blood of yours should have stopped evolution for years now, I presume that's the reason behind your experiments of inhumans. Care about your race's survival, not mine." John said.
"What? How do you know this? Who are you?" the supreme intelligence asked in a more anxious tone if showing anxiety was all possible for an AI.
"Didn't you know my name? It's John Jameson. And you don't need to know this. You be in your path and let me be in mine." John said.
The supreme intelligence was silent for few seconds before saying "I hope we won't be enemies Mr. Jameson. The Kree empire won't look for you in the matter of Dark Aster. Wish you good luck for the future." And thus ended the call.
"Wow she cut the call directly. That was rude. I guess the Kree Empire still has a hidden communicator in Dark Aster. It doesn't matter. Will ask Victor to flush it out. The work here is done. Lex can handle the situation here. It's time to go back home. Tony has almost finished the research. Will pick up Bucky on the way home."
Thus with that the day ended. The next day John asked Victor to flush any extra spy communicator from the system of the Dark Aster. The repairing personnels said that it would take only 2 days to repair the whole of the ship as there was only a damage on the hull and nothing else happened to the interior of the spaceship.
John thought it was enough time to wrap things up in Xandar. In the 2 days he attended a meeting with the Nova Prime while asking her to take care of the company and by a year the Lex Corp will release spaceships that wouldn't need jumping points in space to travel.
The Nova Prime was ecstatic about it as the Nova Empire would be the first exclusive customer of it and thus giving them an edge over other empires in terms of military power as Lex Corp wouldn't sell such spaceships outside the empire as of yet.
Quill, Rocket and others banded together to form the so called 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. They decided to be space mercenaries while Groot being the trouble locator with the ring. Rocket decided to cash on the enemies that Groot would be catching and thus gaining money.
John was happy to see this as at the end their story didn't deviate much. Quill's father is what gave John a headache. He didn't know how he would handle Ego.
"Whatever! I will deal with at as it comes."
On departure day
Everybody came to see him off. Even the Nova Prime and the council members. They still had a fear for John and thus wanted to leave a good impression of them.
"See you soon Lex. Release the movies in the order that I tell you. This is the perfect time to release the Green Lantern movie as many people have seen the Green Lantern in the last fight." John said.
"I understand. Within a month I will release the movie after proper preparation."
John, Victor and Flash went to Dark Aster which has been remodeled now for luxury travel instead of just being huge 'drop' ship. John already had a different plan for Dark Aster from the moment he got his hands on it. He wanted to see if he could implement his ideas onto it.
The Dark Aster took off along with FOS as he directed it to follow the Dark Aster.
