After Erik left Gamora's chamber he headed to the command centre of the mothership. He had to review the battle strategy for today's battle against Thanos.
The girls, Wanda and Cindy, were also there. They were just watching him as he moved around the command center.
As for Gamora, after finally gathering her composure, she went to her companion's chambers to check if they were okay or were tortured too brutally.
Well, even if her 'Uncle' wasn't hostile towards her, Ebony Maw was still Ebony Maw. Thinking so, Gamora couldn't help but wonder about the method of torture for Groot and Rocket.
'He didn't burn Groot's branches, did he?'
Fyuuuussssssssssh
The Chamber in which Groot and Rocket were locked in, opened just when she neared it. Seems like Uncle Maw has re-approved her in the biosecurity systems.
'Hah~'
Thankfully, Groot and Rocket were fine.
"It looks like they're just asleep..."
.

"Switching bodies, eh, that handsome blonde dude is your supposedly dead Uncle... that's definitely one of the top 3 bullshit stories I've heard till yet." Rocket scoffed as he gathered his weapons while listening to Gamora's explanation.
"I Am Groot."
He was asking if the blonde dude has any proof.
Gamora shrugged, "It's rare for Groot to ask sensible questions, well when I asked him he didn't even bother giving any, I guess that's enough proof... That's just like him, but I did notice some degree of changes in him... he's no longer disgusting to look at."
Rocket and Groot looked at each other, they had no idea what she was talking about, well, these guys figured that Gamora's Unc would be a green bitch as well. Welp, for now, they had to think about the mission Gamora's so-called Uncle had asked them for.
"Still, killing the mad titan..." Rocket was now fully suited and armed, for the first time in a while, he had a determined look in his eyes.
"That's a complete nutjob of a mission. No way in hell we'll survive this and I'm not up for a suicide mission. Groot, we're escaping, right now!"
Yelled Rocket.
"I am Groot!"
The 7'10" Groot agreed.
"He'll pay 5 billion units each."
Said Gamora in her calm voice.
"Groot! We have to give our all for this mission!!"
Yelled Rocket, again.
"I am Groot!"
The 7'10" Groot agreed, again.

After a little bit of gearing up, the trio headed to the command chamber above the barracks.
From one of the bridges, Gamora could see the Leviathans being armored up by the Chitauri soldiers, Gorillas getting loaded into their cages, and those feisty untamable Outriders getting thrust into the large dropships.
For Rocket and Groot it was a surreal and honestly, a bit terrifying scene, the army's numbers were in the hundreds of millions and it was just one of the 4 wings of the barracks. But for Gamora, it just seemed like a nostalgic sight.
Once they finally arrived at the Command Chamber, she asked her Uncle Maw about how much time would it take to reach Thanos's Sanctuary to which he replied about one more hour.
"And Gamora, along with my body I have also discarded my previous name. I go by Eirikyr. You can simply call me Erik from now on."
"I see... and who are these girls exactly?" The green-skinned woman asked as she pointed her thumb at two identical-looking girls with slightly different hair colors and one black-haired girl. Two Wandas and one Cindy.
"Ah, these women are my romantic companions," Erik replied flatly.
Gamora's eyes widened with shock, "Y-You have girlfriends! Y-You are a thousand-year-old nosele..."
"Do you wish to say something?" Erik asked turning to her.
"Uh.. no,"
She was going to say "Noseless-wrinkled-ball-sack faced genecidal maniac," but then she realized that he now looked quite different than before. Quite handsome... if she had to put it in exact words.
But that's beside the point... the fact remained that on the inside this guy was the same old narcissistic, efficiency-obsessed noseless creature who once used to worship Thanos and led countless massacres across the galaxies.
Why would he pursue romance?
And most importantly, how could such a person with that kind of personality pull a pair of extremely hot twins and a super hot black-haired babe?
But just after thinking a bit, she realized that it must be to produce an heir or something like that.
Erik continued, "The two identical-looking ones are Wanda. Just so you know they're not twins or anything, it's complex but they're essentially two bodies and one soul."
The two Wandas simultaneously waved their hands. ""Hi!"" They smiled pleasantly.
One was 'his' Wanda while the other one was the Marvel Zombie universe's Wanda, both were pretty identical except for the fact that the Multiversal Wanda looked slightly older and had more reddish hair while 'his' Wanda had somewhat brown hair.
Well, when he first met 'his' Wanda, she had completely black hair but gradually her hair is gaining a red hue. Definitely a side effect of chaos magic but well it isn't causing any other problems at least.
"And she is Cindy,"
"Hello!" the one and only Cindy waved her hands as well.
Having answered, he resumed fiddling with the blue transparent terminal.
Rocket couldn't help but chuckle at Gamora's face. She was still in slight disbelief seeing the love in the eyes of these girls.
Gamora gathered her composure with a quick deep breath, doing so was easy for her since she was a trained soldier as well.
"Now, then allow me to guide you through the plan once again. Wanda, Cindy you two should pay attention as well... Two people pose an actual threat in the Sanctuary. Supergiant and Thanos."
"Since we can't defeat them if Supergiant and Thanos are together, we have to split as well in order to separate them. Wanda will engage with Supergiant and I with Thanos. Meanwhile, Gamora and her companions along with Cindy will engage with the rest of the Black Order. Gamora is against Nebula, Rocket and Groot are against Corvus. And Cindy against Cull Obsidian and Proxima Midnight."
Wanda and Cindy nodded, they didn't know the enemy personally like Erik and Gamora did but the data written on the files given to them by Erik was suffice.
As for Gamora, she looked at Wanda with a bit of mistrust, "If the stories about Supergiant are true then can this girl actually defeat her?"
"No, Wanda as she is now, doesn't stand a chance against Supergiant."
Wanda's eyes fell on the floor, she had already read that in the file he had given to her.
And she couldn't help but feel disappointed in herself because Erik had no confidence in her strength... or was her enemy just that strong? She wanted to be more helpful to him.
"But she just needs to hold out for 10 minutes, and I'm confident that she can manage even more than that."
"Even that would be a miracle." Gamora scoffed.
Wanda's eyes suddenly looked up at him, she couldn't help but smile.
"But still," Gamora rubbed her chin as she pondered over Erik's strategy. "We severely lack in numbers... the battle must not be dragged on for long or our army would be annihilated."
"No Gamora, that's wrong. The longer the battle goes, the more favorable it would be for us it's just numbers that are unfavorable..." Cindy smirked as she folded her arms under her breasts.
Gamora scrunched her nose in confusion, "Uh..." She looked at Erik for an answer but he didn't reply, just smirked.
Well, with the power of [Ressurection], the numbers are never a problem. But she doesn't need to know that.

However, all these preparations were for naught.
When they arrived at the Sanctuary, it was awfully quiet.
No soldier, no motherships, no defense systems...
Thanos has fled the base.
