John spent the whole journey in boredom. He really wished that he could just teleport if he knew the location of Norrin Radd, the name of the Silver Surfer.
Norrin belonged to the planet Zenn-La. An extremely long-lived and technologically advanced humanoid race which had created a worldwide utopia devoid of crime, disease, hunger, poverty, and want of any kind.
Norrin's life changed forever when Galactus came to invade his world and consume it. Radd offered to become his herald and seek out new worlds for him to sate his hunger in exchange for Galactus sparing Zenn-La. Galactus agreed, transforming Radd into a silver-skinned, cosmic-powered super-being.
And thus his journey began. Being herald for Galactus for a long time, until he met the famous Fantastic 4. Due to the Fantastic 4's help he was able to free himself from the clutches of Galactus. And surprisingly, Norrin kept the Power Cosmic with him.
Now Norrin was kind of an intergalactic policeman like Ms. Marvel of their universe. And since he wielded the Power Cosmic it was not possible for John to just search for him. This was the reason John was travelling to find him.
And after almost 3 months John finally found him.
On a planet which was untouched by any civilization.
"Boss, the person you are looking for is on this planet. This is where the pointer ends." Blackbird said.
"Hmm." John said as he started using magic to scan the whole planet. He didn't see the face of the Silver Surfer but he felt it. And he was pretty sure Norrin also felt that someone just scanned his planet.
"Let's go and meet him." John said as he wore and helmet and vanished to the location where Norrin was.
When John appeared again he saw a silver-colored shiny humanoid sitting on a fallen tree. His whole body was super reflective but he looked noble. It was as if being near him only provided calmness and tranquillity. The birds were chirping around him. And a few metres away from him was his famous surfboard.
Levitating on it's own.
John started walking to him. And like Norrin, the birds too gathered around John. John was the essence of life force energy so like Norrin, the living beings would be attracted to him.
"Hello Norrin." John said.
"Norrin!! That's a name I haven't heard in a long time... Thank you for reminding me of my roots. Hello host of Phoenix Force. I am sorry I don't know your name."
"I am John Jameson of Earth 1999999." John said.
"A person from another universe? That is rare. From what I can feel you aren't exactly his host. Is there a problem?" Norrin asked.
"No. The Phoenix is still in its egg form. And during this phase it chose me." John said the truth.
"Hmm. No wonder. I am still confused though. Your body emits the essence of so many things. And that watch of yours. Why do I feel it is as dangerous as the Ultimate Nullifier?" Norrin asked while eyebrows creased.
Ultimate Nullifier, the device which Dr. Reed used to ward off the attack of Galactus when he visited Earth to eat for the first time. It is considered as one of the most powerful weapons in all of Marvel multiverse. Same level as All-Black.
"Because this watch is as powerful as the Ultimate Nullifier. And my body emits different auras because there are many powers that resides inside me. I am the Lord of Order and also the ruler of Babylon." John replied honestly. There was no point lying to a person wielding Power Cosmic.
"Hmm. Having such a powerful weapon by the host of Phoenix Force is understandable. Why are you here Mr. John Jameson. It's been sometime that I could feel that someone was searching me. I presume it is you." Norrin asked.
"Yes. It was I who used magic to search for you. I need your help" John replied.
"Oh.. tell me.. How can I help you?" Norrin asked.
"I want you to help me meet someone." John said.
"Who?"
"Galactus." John replied. Norrin, hearing that name, trembled. He directly got up and started walking. The board came flying by to his side.
"Don't leave Norrin. This is very important. The fate of the universe is at stake." John said as he saw Norrin leaving.
"The fate of the universe is always at stake Mr. Jameson. I can help you in all other matters. But not him. I am sorry. You can go and search for other heralds of his." Norrin said. Galactus did choose another herald after Norrin left his service.
"I can but you are his favourite. I have no other choice but to come and seek help from you." John said. Norrin had already got on his board to leave. He wasn't even in the mood to talk. As he started flying out John shouted
"Black Winter is coming."
