Sector 13121
Thanos sat in the large throne room that once belonged to the ruler of this pathetic planet. Against his ego, Thanos took to consideration what Darkseid suggested and headed to this particular sector where they quickly conquered the race and took control of their planet and resources, which were quite impressive for such a small planet.
They had then tapped into this universe communication systems via Nebula, his cybernetic daughters help. She could hack into any known technology though for this particular universe it took her some time to adapt to their codes and programs. They were researching on when, where they had travelled to and why.
I wonder if this universe has infinity stones. Thanos thought of his life time goal of collecting all the infinity stones, combining their power and harnessing it to be used in his crusade. Will these ones be easy to retrieve unlike our universes.. His train of thought was cut off by Nebula, Gamora and Ebony maw walking into the room. They had news for him.
"Master, It seems the Avengers have made their way to this same universe" Ebony spoke up, all coming to a stop in front of the staircase leading to Thanos throne and slightly bowing before looking up again.
"Those pesky humans from Earth?" Thanos asked a little intrigued. He had always wanted to meet the humans who managed to defeat Loki, a god and a part of his chitauri fleet he sent to aid Loki.
"Yes…and that is not all…" Ebony maw continued nervously. Thanos narrowed his eyes at his minion for taking too long with his presentation. He hated being denied information, however terrible it turned out to be. He gripped the helmet in his hand hard! For his anger unleashed at Ebony Maw would mean certain death for he was not as durable as his other children. The Maw noticed.
"It seems this universe's Earth has its own set of superheroes unlike the Avengers." Ebony maw informed him then signaled to Nebula who brought up the videos they tapped into from all over the universe in hologram form of Thor fighting with a beast of sort and some equally powerful people like superman helping him.
Things just keeps getting interesting. Thanos thought. After a moment of silence and watching the videos, "Is that a shapeshifter?" Thanos inquired looking at Ben transforming to various beings each with their own unique power.
"It is unknown Father. No sector seem to have any information partaking to the Avengers or him. We however found information on this Earths protectors called the Justice League." Nebula explained to her father while showing him holograms of various folders and videos of the Justice league in action. "They seem to be very popular in this universe much like the Avengers."
"And what is your report on them?" Thanos asked looking at Gamora who was content in letting the others report while she observed quietly. Everyone in the black order knew Gamora was the master tactician and grand planner only second to her father, Thanos who had once commended her on that.
"This Earth has many heroes each with different abilities thus the Justice league is a threat to whoever wants to invade and conquer it. Among all those, only the founding members prove to be very dangerous…especially the one called Superman." Gamora answered her father while Nebula brought up a video of the founding members fighting against Darkseid and this superman going toe to toe with him. Managing to subdue him from time to time.
"He may be stronger than that green beast from earth that has been stirring up controversies all over our universe ever since it joined the Avengers." A video of Superman and Hulk fighting on the dock came up and Thanos looked at his daughter who explained, "The superman guy was holding back for the most part."
Thanos looked back to the videos in thought. "It seems the Avengers and the Justice League are now a team." He stated. "What about the Infinity stones?" He asked them.
They all looked unsure and at each other silently conversing on who was going to tell him.
"There are no infinity stones in this universe." Nebula told her father whose eyes immediately hardened at the news.
"Explain!" Thanos demanded sitting up in his seat. The news shocking him but he quickly composed himself.
"In all my research and all these planets databases, there is no such thing as an Infinity Stone or even Arsgard." Nebula explained showing him again in hologram form the results she constantly got.
Thanos sat in silence for a few minutes thinking on his next move before an idea suddenly lit up in his head. If the Justice league and the avengers are basically the same things then that could mean that him and Darkseid are also basically the same people with the same yet slightly different objectives..
"Nebula, run a search algorithm for Anti Life Equation." Thanos commanded Nebula who immediately started hacking databases again.
Various results were brought up and most of them had Darkseid mentioned once or twice in relation to the most powerful weapon of knowledge in the universe.
"This Anti Life Equation is basically the same weapon as the infinity stones and according to the database of a person named Zod, Darkseid has been going after it for a millenium if not more." Nebula answered.
"That shall be what takes us back to our universe. Send out scout ships and start a search for it." Thanos ordered his children who departed to fulfil their masters orders except for Gamora who stayed behind.
"What is it you wish to say? Daughter." Thanos asked already knowing what she wanted to say.
"Won't we start a war with Darkseid if we go after this Anti Life Equation?" Gamora asked her father. They both knew they needed an ally in this unknown universe because once they were found out especially by these Green Lantern Guardians they would definitely pay them a visit whose outcome may not be favorable for both sides.
"I will handle Darkseid." Was Thanos only reply to which Gamora nodded her head and walked out.
I will kill them all, take the Anti Life Equation back to our universe, use it to get the infinity stones then combine their power to rule every dimension there is after completing my crusade he thought smirking.
"What!" Lex Luthor demanded into the speaker at the person calling him. He was brain storming on a lot of his projects, especially the one he was currently going to discuss about with Grodd then possibly implement it as soon as there is an opening.
"It is done." The voice spoke up.
"Any complications?" Lex Luthor listened keenly, his attention captured by the voice.
"The samples were contaminated from rain water." The voice explained unsure of his employers reaction.
"Fix it." He ordered into the speaker ending the phone before the scientist replied.
"Excellent." He smiled for the first time that day then looked out the helicopter window.
At a distance you could see the island the legion of doom had made into their base of operations. He smirked. It was all coming according to his master plan.
