"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.
