Victor contacted the Nova Prime and was informed that Ronan was dead. This delighted her and she believed Victor as she had seen the videos of Kyln before. She also allowed the Dark Aster to land outside the main city while she went to deliver the news to the council and the public.
Outside Groot, The Nova Corps and the Ravagers were victorious, thanks to a new green lantern that had arrived.
Hal Jordan.
Since he was in charge and all the new lanterns were just new recruits he had kept an eye on most of them. When Groot started fighting, Hal had already gotten the information of a fight between him and the fleet of Ronan so he came immediately to Xandar to help.
Half of the work was done when he reached Xandar. After Hal came it became more easy as he easily decimated the rest of forces of Ronan. John who came to know this was surprised.
Hal came inside the Dark Aster to see what was going on and he was greeted by old friends.
"Hey Barry. I missed you man. How are you?" Hal said.
"I am great .. I missed you too" the Flash replied.
Victor too joined the conversation as they belonged to the old team. They all were happy to see old friends. John on the other hand said
"OK Victor you need to make a call to Thanos. We need to talk."
"Alright. Wake her up. Hal tie her down." Victor said as he called Thanos while sitting in the pilot seat. After a minute the call got connected and finally John got to see the first great villain of MCU.
The legendary Thanos. The villain which had a purpose and sheer will to do what he thought was right. Even though his ambition was little twisted but he felt whatever he did was for the betterment of everybody. Thanos' face was projected on the huge wall and both got to see each other.
Except for Peter, Rocket and Groot everybody were present in the room when the call was made so everybody got to see him. John had shared vague memories of Thanos with them so they had a general idea of who he was.
"Thanos, son of A'lars and Sui-San, brother of Eros. We finally meet." John said.
Thanos who had not spoken a bit since the call got connected squinted his eyes when John spoke of his family tree. He really didn't expect someone to know of this. He saw Gamora standing beside the man who spoke and Proxima being held by Hal with his ring.
"Are you alright my daughter?" Thanos asked instead of replying to John or even bothering to ask about Proxima.
"I am not your daughter. You murdered my real parents." Gamora roared.
"You really are arrogant." John murmured.
"What do you want?" Thanos finally asked John and still didn't bother to ask the identity of John.
"What I want? I don't want anything. It's just a convenience that I called you and to show you how far you are from your dream." John said as he brought out the orb which had the actual power stone and started playing with it.
"You wanted the power stone. Now it's in my hands. You can come looking for me whenever you want." John continued. Thanos squinted his eyes more as he saw the orb. He clenched his fist in anger when he saw that.
"Who are you?" Thanos finally asked as now he had to be serious.
"Minato Namikaze. Well now for your precious Proxima..." John said as he stretched his hand and soon a ball of blue light started shining. The ball seemed like it was rotating on itself.
It was the Rasengan.
And before anybody could react of what it was John directly attacked Proxima by hitting her with Rasengan. She couldn't even scream as Hal had shut her mouth by his ring. Since John attacked her heart she didn't even last a second after hitting her. There was a huge hole in chest as blood rushed out of it. Thanos got up from his seat when he saw this.
"You have some courage boy." Thanos said now in a more grave tone.
"I have more than courage. You have killed so many people just to fulfill your twisted ambition, how does it feel to lose someone of your own ranks? Don't worry you will lose them all little by little. I know why you want the infinity stones but whatever you do you will never be successful." John said.
"I will find you." Thanos said.
"Of course you will. But the question is will you survive after finding me?" John said with a smirk. Victor cut the call after he said that.
"Man he reminds me of the other guy. Looks like him with the huge body." Barry said as he was referring to Darkseid.
"That guy is more powerful. At least in this universe." John said as this universe's Thanos was really weak compared to other versions of him.
