"Hi hon. I see that the earth has changed quite a lot in this more than one year." Emma said as she landed near the House of Mysteries.
"Yes. Many things have changed." John said. Even though Emma was away they always used to have conversations over calls and give an update of what was going on in each other's life. Thus Emma knew about the Ring and even John being the Sorcerer Supreme.
She was happy that her boyfriend had grown more powerful over the years and even confronted another enemy called Ultron. This Ultron gave her a headache too as she had to search for the AI. Surprisingly John couldn't search for Ultron even with his cosmic awareness.
John then proceeded to tell her what had happened in the last few months and the coming of Black Winter and the whole story behind it.
"So we have a huge war coming?" Emma said in a very serious tone.
"Yes and we need to be ready. I will have to soon cross the barriers of the Multiverse and go to Earth 616." John said.
"Wouldn't that be dangerous? I have been going through the books of Oa. There are way too many variables in that universe." Emma said.
"Doesn't matter. I will have to go and talk to Galactus. This is for the survival of Earth, our universe and all of the multiverse." John said. Emma knew that John had to take this journey no matter what as only he was capable of doing that and had enough knowledge to handle situations.
She was happy to see their new home and loved the Pokemon Audino and the spirit of the House. Emma even went to Earth to meet her parents and catch Pokemon. John thought of her having the Pokemon Deoxys as that Pokemon would be helpful in dealing with space related missions. Deoxys was a Psychic type mythical Pokemon and thus could help Emma in every way possible.
Thus John and Emma went for a search for Pokemon and led her to the Pokemon Deoxys and let her catch it. She was ecstatic to catch a mythical Pokemon. John didn't help her any more as now it was her own choice which Pokemon she would prefer.
She ended up catching Emolga. A very cute Pokemon.
The days went by and it was January soon. The Ancient One had already left to meet the trio of Vishanti. Wong, Mordo and Constantine took over each Sanctum as the main masters, while the trio was responsible for educating the students in turn at Kamar Taj.
The new year was celebrated with a little more grandeur, as this was the first New Year everybody would spend on the Ring and thus everybody joined in the fun. The last few days had been depressing for them and they all needed some relief.
Due to the war in the Himalayas the movie that was supposed to be out in December was pushed to February as nobody was in a mood to watch movies for sometime now. There was still a small sense of panic for people and the battle prompted more people to go after Pokemons.
After a week of January, John took Emma to Oa as he needed to talk with the Guardians and speak about Black Winter. And also give a boost to them as he had already calculated his fan values and the necessary upgrade required. John used the helmet of Fate to appear in Oa and they flew to the citadel. The Guardians had all been summoned as he had already been notified from before.
Emma and John both landed in the citadel while the Guardians were standing in their respective places circling John and Emma.
"John, we noticed the breach in the multiverse barriers. Is everything alright?" Appa asked.
"Yes. For now. But I have come with grave news." John said.
"Go on. Let us hear." Appa asked. John then proceeded to recount what had happened and things with Strange and the coming of Black Winter. The Guardians were silent after hearing that for sometime before Ganthet finally saying
"The Green Lanterns will help the Avengers in dealing with the Black Winter. All Green Lanterns will be given information about it. The emergency protocols are now activated here in Oa."
"Thank you Guardians. Now for the other reason I am here for..." John said.
"After becoming the Sorcerer Supreme I have gained more powers and can bring alternate versions of every being that has come through the multiverse and thus allowing me to give more powers to the travellers at the expense of a little bit of magic."
The Guardians became interested when John said that. They knew what John actually meant by that.
"But before I start the process of bringing alternate versions and pushing the power through the travellers I have a question to ask." John said.
"Speak." Appa said.
"Do you remember the prophecy of the Blackest Night?"
