"You have one week to prepare and then we are off. Take care of the logistics. The shinobis and shinigamis have a different food consumption and thus take special care. Even the Straw Hats and Goku will join us so we will need more food than a typical one. I I don't want anyone to be hungry in this war as logistics are very important. The last war had problems with betrayal. I want Naruto to take care of that." Batman said as he wanted to keep all the holes plugged. They weren't sure who they were going to face so they needed precautions even in the journey.
After proper discussion John and others left. Emma went to her parents home and John went to meet his dd one last time before he goes for the invasion. John came to the home which his dad had on the Ring. John knocked on the door and a familiar face opened the door. Valentina opened the door.
"John, what a pleasant surprise."
"Hi!! It's been sometime."
"Yes. Come in." Valentina looked young and strong. Like others she too was given a dose from the dragon serum along with her family. Since she was the same as before, she continued looking after the life of Jameson as he continued his work though he had lessened his work hours now and does most of the work from. Thanks to John, Daily Bugle was a huge news agency now with control over channels, media and even OTT that broadcasts in the whole universe.
John needed a distributor of his works and Daily Bugle had evolved into one as time went by as a huge media company with the help of Disney.
John went in and then talked with Dad about the movie that Dad and Valentina and her family would have to go through. Jameson was surprised by the words of John. The last time he had expected that something was wrong but he didn't expect that the situation was bad to this degree.
"What about the people of Earth? From your words I can infer that nothing is safe. Your powers are almost godly so whatever is threatening might be able to kill a whole galaxy. So what about the people living here on Earth and Mars."
"I can't save everyone, dad. I can only promise you that if we win, everything will be back to normal and we will have a happy ending. I can only say that and promise that." Jameson was stupefied by the words of John as he didn;t know what exactly John meant by that but he knew that he shouldn't ask more here as John wouldn't speak any more. Over the years John had changed a lot but there was something stubborn about him when it came to family.
He would always put his family and Avengers first and then the rest of the world came to the picture for him. John didn't even take the position of Sorcerer Supreme when he had the chance. After being convinced of moving out and doing the same thing with Valentina and her family. She didn't understand why this was to be done but she trusted John as he has been a boon to her family. Her husband was doing a respectable job just because Jameson and his family helped her out.
Even her children were well settled because of John, so she didn't think much and had decided to follow what John said. After this John returned home and said to Orchid.
"Orchid, I think we will have to move and go over to your old universe."
"So the war is going to happen anyways?" Orchid appeared out of thin air and said. She normally never showed her face as Audino used to take care of everything.
"Yes it has started." John said. A week went by fast as Emma took care of things in her sector with Hal one last time before they travel. The central battery was moved to the Harvester along with the blue battery. Two batteries in two separate Harvesters. The Green and the Blue Lanterns would also join in this fight and thus they needed their batteries.

John and others arrived at the Hall of Justice and were now ready to leave. The two harvesters were already parked beside the Ring and were now loading proper supplies for the expedition. Luffy and others had also arrived after roaming the universe with all their curiosity. Goku and Luffy instantly became friends when they met each other. Those two looked like they had come from the same mother.
John looked at it and smiled. He was really hoping to keep that smile on the face of Luffy until the end. He then proceeded to spend some fan values to bring out the spaceship that he wanted to bring for a long time.
Arcadia. The immortal spaceship
