Quill didn't want to lose the opportunity to leave the prison. Even though he doubted the words of Barry he wanted to escape and even make money as he understood that the orb he found was very costly. He directly went to the place where the orb was kept and took it, while Gamora and Drax went to ready the spaceship.
At first Drax wanted to kill Gamora, but later she convinced him otherwise and even said that she would help him kill Ronan. Drax who was on a path of vengeance was happy to join this team of Peter and Gamora. FOA finally sent the information that Peter and other have left.
John sighed in relief as he Quill was the only source of finding and killing Ego. John also sent Sasuke with Peter sneakily as he wasn't sure how the story would unfold in Nowhere as there was no Groot and Rocket. Sasuke would be their security in Nowhere.
In the meantime, Ronan was cornered by Victor and Barry.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want?" Ronan roared as he used his hammer to take swings at both of them. He was frustrated beyond belief. He thought it would be an easy assault but only three people subverted that in a matter of minutes.
Victor and Barry easily avoided his hammer. Victor then transformed his hand into a canon and took a shot at Ronan. He was thrown away by few metres with this one shot alone.
"We belong to the Nova Empire. You have already breached the agreement between Kree and Nova. This is the final warning. If I see you next time assaulting anyone from the ranks of the Nova Empire it will be your death. Go home Kree. This isn't a child's play."
Ronan felt humiliated by the dirty blooded people of Nova but he knew he didn't have the power to fight back. Soon a small ship came near after the attack ships left the surrounding space. Barry and Victor left by a drop ship who came to pick them up.
The guards of the prison saw all of this and was really grateful by what happened. They weren't sure who just helped them but they saved everyone here and in fact stopped the prisoners too from rioting. Though they wanted them to kill Ronan but they understood that beggars could never be choosers.

The Dark Aster soon left and even though Ronan felt humiliated by all this he still got the information that Gamora escaped from prison. Ronan was ecstatic when he heard the news as now he could catch her and give the orb to Thanos so that he could wash away the humiliation. Soon he ordered his subordinates to find the location of Gamora because he felt pretty sure that such an important piece would still be in her possession.
Victor and Barry returned after the assault into the hidden spaceship FOA. They were happy as they had the first successful mission. Rocket was still in awe with what happened.
"Where is Sasuke?" Rocket asked.
"He has another mission to complete." John replied.
"Let's go back. I guess the Nova prime would be very happy with what had happened. Now let's hope he comes to Xandar. Would be more of a grand show. And even if he doesn't comes we can always find the Dark Aster and kill Ronan. The tracker is already in place with some of his men." John said.
"Yes I did place some un-detectable very long range trackers. Well that big of a spaceship wouldn't be invisible anyway." Victor replied.
"Man sometimes you are more scary than Ronan. You are basically toying with him. Why not kill him?" Rocket asked as he was sure now that they could have taken over Ronan easily.
"Because sometimes politics can be over whelming." John replied. "Let's go back and wait for the news of Sasuke. Hope there is good news."
FOA soon left for Xandar. And this time after they returned John didn't park FOA in space as he wanted to bring them into the planet. He felt a little bad leaving FOA all alone in space for such a long time.
The Nova Prime came to actually receive them when they landed in Xandar. John himself was taken aback when he saw her waiting.
"Thank you Mr. Stone and Mr. Allen for helping us stop Ronan. The guards have already informed us about the heroins assault. We are really grateful." She said before John could speak. They had already brought out information about Barry who was registered recently by Victor.
"We too belong to the Nova Empire and since we have a company here it would look too bad if the Empire looked weak. Plus there was a deal between you and John. So I had to intervene." Victor replied.
"Yes the deal. The part about movies. We would more than happy to showcase the hobby of Mr. Jameson." she replied looking at John.
"That's not my hobby, that's my main job. You will understand what I mean when you will watch the movies." John said.
