After getting introduced to each other again and knowing that he was the Iron Man of the universe, Erik smiled at first. The name itself was a huge nemesis for him. Erik was able to control metal, so Tony's suit would be useless in front of him. But he didn't know that Iron Man's suit wasn't just simple metal. There were no magnetic fields around it as it worked like a superconductor.
Though Erik trusted John and others, he had always been on the lookout if everything went south later. He wanted to know of their powers beforehand and make necessary preparations if they ever fall out in the future.
All was fine when it came to the members of the Avengers he had seen but Steve and John were 2 of them where he had no idea of how to stop them. According to Steve, he was powered by something called Uni-Power. And from the looks of it, he was way too powerful for any of the mutants and Diana too. Her strength and psionic powers too were incredible.
And then there was John. He was as enigmatic as it gets. He still had no idea of how powerful he was and what exactly his powers were. He had a feeling that if a war ever broke out between their Avengers and his Brotherhood, their Brotherhood would be probably erased on the first day itself. This itself gave me a little fear but the wheel has already started rolling.
If he gets back to his world now, he would be hated more now. Though for a few years, nobody would dare to say anything to him, but when the people would realize that there was no John , the humans and the Sentinels would hunt the mutants again.
And this time more aggressively. So all he could do now was bite the bullet and just move to the new world.
"So John, are there any limits in sending the number of robots and machines to 616?"
Tony asked as that again was his main reason for the call.
"No, why?"
"GAIA was saying that we could use the machines of hers to go and fight for us during the war."
"I will be able to provide 500,000 troops for this war against Knull if I operate 5 times faster than the normal manufacturing process." GAIA interjected in the middle as she showed up with her typical hologram of a woman.
John raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He didn't expect that help would come when it came to troops from an unsusal place.
"Yes, I can take you all away. IF it's not too much the Avengers would appreciate your help GAIA." John said.
"I am happy to help the Avengers. I will get back to work." GAIA said as she vanished. Tony too showed relief in his face. Umbrella had been working overtime and Pepper had a lot of work this week to meet the deadline set by the Avengers for the war.
"Who is Knull?" Logan who was beside couldn't help but ask.
"Knull, another major problem for us. Probably bigger than Annihilus." John said. The mutants were all dumbstruck that there was something more powerful than Annihilus. From what they had heard from Chavez, Annihilus was a world destroyer and this guy was saying that this Knull guy was a major threat??
What is wrong with the multiverse?
"What does he want?" Charles now had a solemn face. He had already decided to help Avengers during the Annihilus war but now he seemed like he had to be more serious.
"He wants the universe to be covered with darkness. It's us who have occupied his territory and he wants it back." John said in a solemn face.
"Occupied his territory? How?" Storm asked as she was intrigued. John then gave them a whole run down of the story of Knull.
"This is ridiculous. How can these things such as this even be born?" Erik couldn't help but ask.
"Some things are just born abstract. There is no proper explanation. You can say that the universe gives itself a sentience and along the passage of time many stories pop up." John said.
"We will help you in this war against Knull." Jean said as she was terrified to even think of a world where everything is dark and they are under the control of a single person with no freedom.
"You are welcome to help but remember your counterparts will also be in this war. We don;t have a good relationship with them, so be on the lookout." John said with a smile. He had a smile on his face. He knew that he would get help from them as his sixth sense was saying that Knull and Annihilus were cooking something together.
And it was only a matter of time before the mutants joined the war. These people would be quite helpful in this.

"We will appreciate any help you can provide us. But at first you all need to move fast. And get used to the place. We will still have a few days before the war arrives. We are not even sure if both of them had joined. It's just my speculation and it might not even be true" John said. All nodded their heads as John was right. They needed to settle down fast and get used to the place when they went to war.
Only this time, this war was for saving the multiverse, instead of themselves. Their lives changed pretty fast with just a twist of fate!!
After an hour staying at Huberville they were ready to go to see their new moon or the place that had been chosen for them. John teleported all of them to the new moon.
The 5 moons were named Lui, Smekta, Warden, Wanderer and Nightstar. And the moon where the mutants were going to live was Nightstar (names can be changed later depending on other factors.)
John had teleported them to a very clear and huge space surrounded by trees. The mutants could see there were many people building a huge palace-like structure on the clear opening. The people were going in and out. Bulldozers and various huge machines were working around the clock to complete the structure. On the boundary of the establishment there was a huge board.
On the board there was a total plan of the structure and how it would look after the completion. It looked like a futuristic palace while still retaining the vibes of the mediaeval age castle.
This was the School for the mutants that Charles had in his own world. John wanted them to have their own school here too but in a more grander scale. When he had decided to move all the mutants here he had already ordered GAIA to build homes and various buildings for them here. And this school was one of them as Charles would need the school to educate the new mutants that would be born.
The X-men and Brotherhood went to see the end design on the board while Charles and Erik were just looking at the people who were building it. Charles almost had tears in his eyes. They couldn't believe that John would even gift them a new school and he had thought that they would have to start from ground zero here.
But it seemed that John had already thought of all this.
"Like it?"
There was a silence from them.They were not even able to express how happy they were seeing all the construction works.
"We love it. We thought we would have to build everything but it seems you have already thought about it." Erik said finally as he found words to express
"I have more money that I can possibly spend in my entire life, so doing this small favor is nothing." John bragged a bit. He remembered when the mutants had to move to Krakoa after the House of M story line and they had a hard time. He didn't want the mutants to suffer the same fate here.
"There will be homes built all over the place on this planet. As the population rises they will be provided more homes by Umbrella. This planet will soon be filled with Pokemons, humans and other aliens. The 5 new moons will soon be filled with many different kinds of people. Like Mars these moons will operate in the same way, a centre for trade and exchange of knowledge. Your moon too will work the same way but the mutants will have the first say on the decisions here and no governments will intervene in this. Umbrella will make sure of this."
All the mutants who heard this had almost shiny eyes now hearing the rough plan devised for their place. A place which will have interaction with all kinds of beings will make sure that they won't be marginalised against the general society.
"You have thought everything through?" Charles couldn't help but ask. John just shrugged his shoulders and said
"It comes natural to me. My brain tries to find out the best solution the fastest way possible."
"We thank you for what you have done. This tour has been nothing but an eye opener for us. And a great boon. We realise that you have not asked for any repayment but I can assure you that in the upcoming war, we will try our best to help you." Erik said as he was full of gratitude for John and his team.
What they had done was not something a normal man could do. When Andrew indicated that John was kind of a half God none believed him but seeing all of this he realized made him understand that John was more than a God.
He made moons and made the planet bigger. That in itself was a testimony that they would never be able to gauge his powers.
