After everybody finished their food they all went to the dock for departure. Even Rocket joined in as he would be bored waiting for Groot. That's what Rocket and Groot had decided upon before he left Oa. Rocket would wait here for Groot and later go on adventures together. Groot could kill or arrest criminals while Rocket could profit off them.

Rocket was happy as now he had a huge force behind himself, thanks to Groot so he was lazing around now. They all arrived the dock where the drop ship was.

"Oh the ship of Krypton." Barry said. The drop ship opened it's hatch only to reveal Sasuke waiting inside. He had called Sasuke to help them in this mission for extra help.

As John had already shared some vague ideas of Sasuke and Naruto's world from before they didn't ask about him. Rocket on the other hand was surprised to see a new guy.

Barry brought his suit too in his suitcase as John summoned it for him. Rocket on the other hand after entering the ship went crazy. He had never seen a small drop ship of this technology.

"What the hell is this spaceship. Why is it so different?" Rocket said.

"It's because this technology is something that the universe has never seen before. Soon my company would make spaceships of the same technology. Look out for those."

"Are you serious? You will be in spaceship industry? This is a huge matter. You said you have a mother ship. Can I see it?" Rocket asked with enthusiasm.

"Yes. Come with us. I will make you realize how big the universe is." John said. And thus Rocket joined on this mission too even though he hesitated a lot. He thought it was a suicide mission but then he saw John too going on the mission. Rocket didn't think John would be such a dumb person to lead his own self to danger.This was probably universe trying to make some things right by sending Rocket to Kyln prison.

Soon the drop ship left for FOA. John too joined as he wanted to be with FOA a bit. Lex was left alone in Xandar as now he had a company and people to recruit. The drop ship in a few minutes had entered FOA.

Rocket was going mental as what he saw. Just the speed of the drop ship surprised him but the size of FOA was what astonished him the most. It was huge and the technology he saw after entering the ship surprised him even more.

"FOA. Feeling bored in space?" John asked.

"No. It's fine. Most of the times I am sleeping anyways." FOA replied.

"Owwa artificial intelligence. I don't trust AI." Rocket said.

"FOA isn't an AI. This mother ship is itself a living being." John replied.

"What? What do you mean?"Rocket.

"I mean the whole ship is a living one." John said.

"That is impossible. No technology like this exists." Rocket replied.

"Have you seen such high technology before? No. You will get used to it Rocket. FOA take us to Kyln. We have a mission. I won't participate in it. You three will take care of it. There are kryptonian breathing apparatus. You three can use them when you assault. Don't kill everyone. We need to lead them to Xandar later." John said.

FOA used the phantom drive to vanish into space after locking the coordinate. They reached the prison in a few minutes. Now Rocket was more surprised as they didn't go to a jump point to travel. They just directly traveled into space. Now he kind of believed in John's words that this technology had never appeared before.

He was looking forward to the new spaceships that John's company would be manufacturing soon. They stopped a distance away from Kyln hiding from the radar and detection. They waited for Ronan to arrive to get the fake Power stone from the prison.

John wants Ronan to assault the prison and then go inside to save everyone. This would show a glimpse of their power to the higher authorities of the Nova Empire. Thus making the Nova Prime and the others believe in John more. The Nova Prime had already known that John had left and they believed that John left to find Ronan so the assault of him against Ronan would be more believable.

Thus the long wait started. John hoped that Ronan would come before anything happened to Gamora as she had a wrong reputation, thanks to being the daughter of Thanos and an accomplice of Ronan. John even asked Victor to hack into the security to check on Gamora always so that nothing ills falls upon her.

She was required in the future plans of John. After 5 days of waiting, the Dark Aster finally showed up. This looked more huge than in the movie. The whole length of the spaceship was at least a kilometre.

"Can't wait for this big baby to be mine."
