As he was thinking that Rocket came to his room to ask about them Gamora and others coming with Groot and explained the whole incident. Even though John knew what had happened he didn't know what happened after they escaped as he didn't ask Sasuke.

"Sure bring them here. Didn't we want a confrontation against Ronan. I hope they come after us. Will be fun." John said. Rocket was ecstatic as he didn't expect John would be so helpful in this regard. John on the other hand was happy and hoped Ronan would come to Xandar to attack as he did with Kyln.

This would be his stage to shine and pave the path for his works in the Nova Empire. Groot and everyone reached Xandar after few hours, thanks to the fast speed of Milano.

Peter had doubts on the fact that were actually free from Nova Empire's wanted list but when they saw they they could enter Xandar without any problems they got relieved. Groot directly took them to the home of John where Rocket was waiting for them.

Meanwhile, after the huge failure of Ronan he directly called Thanos and said that the orb was a fake one as the Collector already said the same thing.

"I want to go and search for Gamora. Your daughter betrayed us. This was not the plan. You need to compensate for this." Ronan said.

"The only compensation you will get is your head still in the body. You made my favorite daughter alienate from me." Thanos said in a grave tone.

"Alienate her from you? She already hated you from beginning from what I heard from the Kyln prison." Ronan replied.

"I need support in catching her. She has way too many friends who are powerful. In Kyln and in Nowhere we were stopped twice." Ronan continued as he still thought that Victor was the friend of Gamora as he let them escape.

"Friends? My daughter has friends outside?" Thanos murmured.

"Proxima Midnight go to Dark Aster and assist him in finding the orb. This is the last help I will give you boy. If you can't return with the orb the next time I will come for your head." He said then.

Ronan who listened to Thanos couldn't speak in higher tone. He felt more humiliated and he secretly made up his mind that if he even find a chance to take revenge he will do so. He was really interested in the orb that Thanos was searching and wanted to see what secrets it held that Thanos was ready to send Gamora, Nebula and now another member of the Black order.

Groot and others reached the home of John. Gamora and Peter were surprised to see Victor and the red suit guy at the home, while Groot was happy to see his old friend again.

"How was training? Did Hal kick your ass?" Rocket asked.

"I am Groot."

"Well he better be otherwise I won't mind blowing him up." Rocket said.

Gamora, Peter and John were still looking at Victor and others. John too came in to see the whole team of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

"Mr. Quill, I am John Jameson. Welcome to my home."

"Your home? This is big. You must be rich. Umm I want to know why did you help us? I don't think we are your friends." Peter asked.

"I have my own reasons. Maybe because we both come from same planet."

"You are from Missouri too?" Peter asked.

"No Missouri is just a state in USA which is on planet earth. I live in a different state in the same planet. Well enough about me. What are your plans?"

"I don't know. We can't go out of Xandar because of Ronan. He is way too powerful."

"Where is Yondu? Call him. I am sure he is pretty much angry of you betraying him." John said.

"What the hell? How do you know of Yondu." Peter asked almost getting scared.

"He is some kind of prophet. Don't think much of it." It was Rocket who said that. "Now how do we blow up Ronan?" Rocket intervened.

"No.. No.. How do you know of Yondu?" Peter insisted on knowing.

"He has a weird power to see future. That's how we helped you in Kyln prison, even tried helping you in Nowhere, Sasuke accompanied you in that journey." Rocket replied as he now understood a little bit of the power of John. While they talked Sasuke emerged from nowhere.

"Huh this guy helped me in Kyln." Drax said who was silent all this time. "Thank you."

Sasuke just nodded at him and vanished again.

"So now can you call Yondu?" John asked again.

"Ok. But what do you want me to say to him?" Peter asked.

"Tell him that we have the original orb and to spread this information to Ronan. I am sure he will come running by for it."
