--Somewhere in Space--

Nebula turned her ship to the entrance of the Milano and went inside. She walked to the heroes with a smug face and talked to her sister.

"I need to talk to you." Nebula said, looking at the other heroes on board.

"What do you need?" Gamora asked.

"Thanos has the Space, Soul and Reality stones. He's planning an attack to find the other stones."

"Well the Time stone won't be easy to find." Strange said, holding the Eye of Agomotto.

"You had the Time stone the whole time?" Peter said.

"We must hide it." Nebula said.

"No. If we hide it, he'll still find it." Strange said.

"It's better if we keep it so we have eyes on it than some other jackass in the universe." Rocket said.

"What will we do now?"

"We go back to Earth and check on the Power stone." Tony said.

"We can't. I heard the Nova Corps got raided of the Power stone." Nebula said.

The group traveled to Xandar to check on the stone. They agreed that Tony, Quill, Thor and Peter check on the stone while the others stay on the ship. They hyperjump their way into Xandar and saw a portion of the planet, dark.

--Xandar's Atmosphere--

"You ready to jump?" Quill said.

"Wait, we're going to jump? Peter said.

"It's alright. I installed a space breather kid." Tony said.

"So you had time to install a mechanic on the boy's suit but you didn't have time to study the gems?" Thor said.

"I do a lot of things when I'm at home."

"Jump!" Quill shouted, as he pushed all of them and jumped himself.

They landed one by one and formed a circle when they landed. The group walked into the palace where the stone was held. There was a crack on the floor which led to the vault of some sorts.

"Should we jump in?" Thor questioned, inspecting the hole.

"I think we should." Quill said.

They jumped in the hole and as they landed, they saw green aliens of some sort. Tony just thought it was the inhabitants of Xandar, but as they turned slowly, they seemed to be green monsters with purple clothing.

"Skrulls!" Quill shouted, as they shot their blasters at them.

"Why are they shooting us?" Tony asked, shooting a blaster bolt towards them.

"They can shape shift into anyone. I heard about these creatures back at my home planet, so take all of them down."

"Kid, try to slow them down."

Peter shot his webbing at them, which caused their guns to malfunction. The Skrulls ran towards them with full aggression, to go one on one against them. Tony and Quill was forced to go fist to fist while Peter and Thor had no problem. Bolts of blue could be seen all over the place as that was Tony's primary weapon

"Some help over here?!" Tony shouted, as he was struggling against the Skrulls.

"I thought you were an expert at this?" Thor said, handling the Skrulls with ease.

"They're just too many of them."

"I got this." Peter said, as he punched his way through the crowds of the Skrulls.

They finally defeated them, and walked over to the stone. It was still intact after the raid of the Skrulls. As Quill inspected the Power stone carefully without touching, Tony noticed a red glowing light on the wall.

"What the hell is that?" Tony asked

"It's a bomb, get out!" Quill shouted.

A portal opened beside them, "Get in." Strange said.

They ran to the portal and all fell down inside. It was a portal to the Milano.

"Remove it from his hands!" Gamora shouted, as Quill started turning purple.

"Got it." Strange said, as he used his powers to remove the Power stone out of his hands.

"Why didn't you make a portal straight into the vault?" Tony asked.

"Too dangerous. You would have been killed as soon as you were teleported."

"At least you saved us." Quill said, trying to stand up.

"Well, not everyone." Rocket said, pointing at the cockpit.

Quill and Tony walked up to the cockpit to see asteroids flying pass them. Asteroids of the once known planet, Xandar.

"Bastards." Quill said.

"We have to go back to Earth before the Mind stone gets snatched up." Tony said.

"Alright, we're doing this for the lives of the planet."

Quill walked down and told everyone about the plan. It was about protecting the Mind stone from getting stolen. In the ship, they had both the Time and Power stone and the Mind stone was on Earth.

"Let me see, for god's sake, Earth is 70 jumps away." Rocket said, checking the list of planets on his tablet

"I'm sure the coordinates are right. I studied where the earth was positioned in the Milky way." Tony said.

"We have to do it now or the Mind stone will be taken." Quill said.

"C'mon, Rocket, we have to do this now."

"Fine, you guys better wear your seatbelts, 'cause you're about to shit your pants." Rocket said, pressing the buttons on the ship.

The ship began to power up for hyper space and lines started to appear on the wind shield of the ship.

"Oh shit." Tony said.

--Earth--

"What the hell!" Drax said, who was about to vomit.

"What happened?" Bruce asked.

"We have gone 70 jumps to get to Earth." Mantis said who was calm.

"70, I thought we were going 17." Drax said arguing.

"I am Groot." Groot said.

In the cockpit of the Milano, Quill was shocked upon seeing the Earth. It had been nearly 25 years since Quill stepped on Earth. It had all new buildings as they flew above New York.

"Where are we going?" Quill asked.

"To the Avengers facility, where we stay." Tony said.

They landed on the field next to it, as Tony hadn't even envision a large ship landing next to the facility. It was a sight to see for the Guardians, high technology was shown throughout the base.

--Avengers Headquarters--

"Vision, where are you?" Tony asked, as they walked around the base.

Tony removed his armor from his body and showed his commonly used black shirt.

"So, what's your real name?" Drax asked.

"Didn't I say it in Knowhere? Tony Stark."

Vision walked down the stairs wearing a sweater and some pants. Tony noticed that he was smiling when he came up to him.

"Mr Stark, you're back." Vision said.

"Yes, I am back along with some new friends."

"But, some visitors have joined us while you were gone."

"Like whom?"

"Glad to see you again, Tony." Steve said, leaning on the stairs.
