"Quill, you will never be in the front line fighting Thanos." Tony said.
"Who are you? Do you know me? John told you about me?" Peter asked as he was confused why this guy with a mustache spoke to him first.
"I don't know you but I have seen what you have done in another parallel universe." Tony replied indicating the fight where they were almost close to defeating Thanos but his momentary anger destroyed everything. Even though Strange said that this was the only way, Tony being a believer that he himself controls his destiny called it bull.
This was the reason why Tony's first words were to take Peter out of the way.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Quill asked as he felt vindicated that he was targeted by an unknown person the moment he came to the Ring. He actually wanted to hold his gun at the forehead of Tony but he also knew that John was present here and even the Teen Titans. Their power levels weren't something he could match against.
"It's not supposed to mean anything. We thank you for your call. Don't listen to Tony, he can be a pain in the ass." Steve said as he went to greet them. He got glared at by many of the members.
"What? I am pretty sure of what you saw and many of you hold the same prejudice." Tony said.
"That world that is that world. This is our world. Nothing is the same here." Victor said.
"Fine.. Fine.. " Tony mumbled.
"John, you have quite an amazing place to say. I have never seen such a place ever in my life in all my years of cosmic travel." Rocket said.
"Yeah. We are lucky to have this Ring. You must have played Halo." John said.
"I am Groot."
"Yeah. This Ring is from the Halo world." John replied.
"Damn. I should move here to live." Rocket said.
"Come in. We can discuss the battle strategy in the Hall." Wayne said as he invited the Guardians of the Galaxy inside the Hall of Justice. The Guardians of the Galaxy were surprised that there were so many people among the members of the so-called Avengers.
And they have seen some of them before but many were new faces. All took their seats and introduced themselves properly to each other. And then the discussion commenced on how to face him.
They would need to evacuate a part of Mars as their battle will be held there. Gamora informed them that they had 3 week to get ready for the battle. As they have discussed before, they finally decided to keep the space stone and make a fake stronghold in Mars away from the public.
Umbrella would be responsible for fast construction of the stronghold while the Kages will give some ninjas as fake protection. If everything goes as planned, then Thanos will take the bait.
Tony first proposed using normal robots for this, but Shikamaru refused saying that would be too much of a sham to be believed by Thanos. They needed to make this stronghold as real as possible. So they had to bring real people in. After a proper discussion and thinning out the details, Tony called Pepper to make construction.
Pepper was confused by this sudden plan, Tony didn't give her an explanation and just told her to execute. He didn't want to make her nervous, saying that there would be a war soon.
The Guardians of the Galaxy stayed over at the Ring. The Guardians of Oa were informed about Thanos. So the Guardians ordered the return of all Lanterns, but this must be done in a hidden manner.
John was sure that Thanos must have noticed the emergence of Green lanterns so he would definitely keep an eye at it. So the Lanterns needed to be back in a stealth manner.
John was excited about the battle. All his cards would be on the table and the people of the universe would get to know of him and his works. That was all he cared about. John needed a boost of fan values. And this battle would be enough for all the people to know of John's works.
Though it might launch Earth into an interstellar era, he didn't care anymore. Black Winter was coming and now even Knull loomed over his head. He needed to be as ready as possible.
John was sure that Thanos would lose. But before the battle he would need some answers from him. The eternals. His brother. His actual motivation in killing half the universe.
Soon in Mars the work started and Umbrella was able to make a huge building with underground facilities. Umbrella made the installation as real as possible for a stronghold. All the technological facilities were used as much as possible to make it fast and leave no traces that the stronghold was made recently.
The ninjas joined in as fake security. Everything looked set and now all they had to do is wait.

1000 light years away from Solar System
Sanctuary II (Spaceship of Thanos)
"My liege, the initial reports suggests that the space stone is being held under a stronghold on a planet that the Earthlings called Mars. The humans recently colonized Mars and have moved the space stone there." Ebony Maw said.
"What about the power stone?" Thanos who was sitting in throne asked Maw who was on his knees talking. On the side were Obsidian and Glaive.
"The power stone is still at Oa. Under the eyes of the Guardians. My liege I would suggest attacking Oa after we get hands on one infinity stone." Maw said.
"Hmmm....what happened to the dwarves of Nidavellir?" Thanos asked.
"We went there, but there was nobody in the forge." Maw said.
"Do you know how this happened?" Thanos asked. He had been stressed a little lately. Not a long time ago, they lost Midnight. Glaive, who was the husband of Midnight, went mad when he got to know of it. He wanted to go and avenge her, but Thanos stopped him saying it wasn't time yet.
Now finally they have amassed a huge army and soldiers but again they have been struck. It was like someone was deliberately stopping him from getting the stones.
"We don't know yet my liege." Maw said.
"Then we shall start with the space stone. After we get this, we will decimate the Avengers, avenge Midnight and get the mind stone. Then we will have enough power. Then the so-called army of Green Lanterns wouldn't be able to stop us." Thanos said. Glaive who listened to all of this clenched his fist.
They were finally about to avenge his dead wife. He wanted to tear this man apart. Even though none knew of the person who murdered her, they were sure that they belonged to the Avengers. So Glaive couldn't wait to take revenge on the person.
"As you command my leige. We will leave for Mars right away. It will take some time to reach the planet." Maw said.
"Is LexCorp still refusing to sell the phantom drive technology to us?" Thanos asked.
"Yes. My liege, that arrogant Lex Luthor still refuses. We should have killed him when we had the chance." Glaive said.
"It's unnecessary. We will soon sit at the top, and we won't need his technology anymore." Thanos said. All nodded their heads. Sanctuary II soon went to a jump point and started travelling to the direction of the planet Mars.
It took them a week to reach Mars.
"My liege we have reached Mars." Maw said.
"How is the stronghold looking? Is it an ambush?' Thanos asked.
"The stronghold looks authentic with real people in them. It was built to house a very powerful weapon, so the probability of this being an ambush is very less. And even if it is, even if there might be Avengers, we have a huge army to confront them. The Avengers are nothing but a few men. What can a few men do against a large army?" Maw said. Thanos nodded his head but he always felt that it might not be that easy.
Sanctuary II went straight to the stronghold altogether as Thanos suggested. He wanted to attack the stronghold with full force. He had done enough to wait to care about anything else. The spaceship levitated in the air above the stronghold.
The spaceship was so huge that it created a shadow over the building. The people in the building went into full panic mode and alarms were set off. Thanos after seeing this was a little relieved as he was still thinking it might be an ambush. Even though he didn't care about the Avengers they had proved to be quite a problem for them on multiple turns.
Thanos, Glaive and Obsidian came down the spaceship with a small army of Chitauris behind them.
The people in the stronghold took up weapons and guns. They pointed it at the small army of Thanos, showing the resolve to fight against an unknown enemy which has appeared.
"Kill them." Thanos ordered. The Chitaur attacked after receiving the order. The men who were defending started shooting at them. The Chitauris too started using their guns on them.
As the battle started one such attack from the Chitauris managed to create a huge explosion on the humans. But when the dust settled there were no dead bodies. Thanos's eyes squinted when he saw this.
The next second, Maw got a reading in his device which he had been carrying with himself. It showed the gamma radiation that had been emitting by the space stone from the stronghold just vanished.
"My liege, the space stone, just vanished from the stronghold. We don't know where it went." Maw was sad with a grave face. Thanos who listened to it looked at the other humans who were defending with their guns.
He could see that the people had a smile on their faces now.
