"Done! I am done! This is it! The end has finally come!" Hector danced in his office, happily with Diana in his arms, with Moony and Fenris jumping around left and right.

"Now, I just need to talk to a few important people, and by then, the war will also be over. With that, I will invite the UGF to make Earth a member and start sharing their technology slowly. I don't think they will need me once I have united the planet."

"What about the war on the planet? And what about the unification? The people still don't speak the same language, and the poverty gap still exists; how are you going to stop people from crowding rich nations?" Diana asked him seriously.

Hector smirked. "Well, for that, the stones will help me. It's my powers that are causing the crack in the fabric of the universe, not stones. All I need to do is make sure that everyone can speak the same language. I initially created a real system for the world to slowly combine, but it's going to take decades.

"So, with the illusion that it was achieved by themselves, I will use my powers in secrecy. As for borders, I still have time to create cities around the world. And once space technology starts coming in, things will change. But, Earth needs to find new jobs, mainly for the production of something... and that's where the East Xandar Trading Company comes in. It's the largest food and beverage business in the universe right now... I will give it to United Terra."

Diana took a cold breath as a realisation dawned over her. "So... it was all a part of the plan? I don't know what to say. What about the cargo company?"

Hector shrugged. "That's impossible for Earth to control alone. There are too many enemies. So it will be in the hands of the Ravagers, UGF and United Terra. The profits will be divided into three parts."

"Woof woof!"

"Kingstech? I will give that to Peter... I think he can make something good out of all that crazy technology. Anyway, I need to go now and meet the Guardians first. This will be my farewell to them." Hector picked up a bag that contained some presents and vanished from the spot.

Diana looked at the two wolves and a pup and called them close to hug her. "Let's go and watch a movie... how about Tropical Thunder? I heard it's funny."

...

Space

"..Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Lonely is a man without love

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love..."

ZZZZzzz!

Peter jumped up angrily. "Hey! Why did you sto... Grandpa? What are you doing here?"

Hector took a seat and looked at the garbage around. This was Peter's little room on his ship as they headed towards Xandar for another mission completion report.

The Guardians of the Galaxy right now have the same members as the old times, with just one addition. There was Gamora, Nebula, Mantis, Groot, Rocket, and also Yondu. Drax was also a member, but the man was on holiday right now.

"What? Can't I come here? Now get your ass up and salute me as you should. I am still the supreme commander of the United Galactic Federation."

Peter clumsily but quickly stood up and saluted. "Commander Peter Quill reporting, sir."

"Reporting my ass, you were listening to music. Nice choice, by the way. Anyway, I came to see how you were doing. So, have you proposed to Gamora yet? I'm sure she's waiting for it." Hector asked.

"Oh, I don't think she'd be interested in marrying me, old man. She's just passing her time... I think."

Bam!

Hector facepalmed. "Son, I thought I'd never find a man denser than me. You already know she likes you, and you like her back. How many years has it been now? Eight? Trust me... she wants you... We men are a strange breed that is prone to not take hints. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com

"Tell me, has she ever looked at you for a long time for no reason? Has she ever sighed, standing beside you for no reason... do you both feel complete when together?"

Peter closed his eyes and folded his arms as if thinking deeply. "Hmm... hmm... hmm... Fuck! I'm such a dumbass! Does she really want to fix it with me?"

Hector chuckled. "Kid, if she didn't want to, she'd have already left... Nobody can tolerate you otherwise."

"Yeah... Wait... that's not a compliment."

Hector put his arm on the boy's shoulder and dragged him to the main deck where the rest were, also listening to earth music and doing something.

"I'm Groot."

Hector patted the good boy tree. "Yeah, I know, Groot. I will teach him a lesson, don't worry."

Rocket, who had come very close to Hector during his time on Earth, jumped to give the old man a hug. Since Hector was the only person who ever cared for him and treated him with the same respect as any other human.

"Old man, welcome back. Whose ass are you here to whoop today?" Rocket asked.

Bonk!

But, Rocket got bonked instead. "Kid, Groot complained you've become lazy now and just keep watching Netflix and whatnot."

Rocket grunted. "Ugh... I'm old, you know. And Groot also plays video games all the time."

Hector walked to Groot, who was taller than him and still bonked him on the head. "Boy, you're no better. Anyway, I came here to have a chat. Peter, the Earth will soon become a member of the UGF, so be sure to watch over your home planet. Since you've been a part of the space civilisations for so long, you are in a good position to provide guidance from time to time."

Peter thumped his chest. "You can count on me."

"And Yondu. You are a General at UGF. To think you used to be a crook and now are a good model man for many across to take guidance from. You have to keep going down this path and help the other commanders with this... maybe Kul will become the next President of the UGF, or it could be Logan. The main job of the President of the UGF is not to administer or do paperwork, but it's to ensure that the UGF does not fall, that corruption does not take over."

Hearing Hector speaking so seriously, they all felt ominous about this. So Yondu asked. "Why do you sound like you won't be here for long?"

"Because I won't be." Hector blurted. But he didn't wish to reveal much to them about his other job. "Let's just say my time has come, and now I must head to the next frontier."

Peter gasped and rushed to check Hector's body by patting his arms. "Are you okay? What happened? Is it cancer?"

'Does this kid have PTSD?' Hector wondered.

"No, kid. I have grown too powerful, and to remain in the world any longer will break the fabric of reality. So... I must let my soul leave for the next part and let this universe heal itself. You were there with me to see it... how the reality was breaking apart."

Bam!

Rocket jumped onto him and stuck on like a lizard. "Take me with you then... this world's gonna be shit with you gone."

"Hahaha... don't worry, Rocket. I have placed all the necessary means to ensure that does not happen. You should instead just live your life with fun and, when the time comes, pass away happily. You know, fall in love, have some kids and such things. We can start with Peter and Gamora."

Hector conveniently threw the two under the bus. But they didn't even try to argue with him, so all doubts were cleared, and Hector winked at Peter.

"I will now head back with just a few more words for you all. Remember, whenever there are hardships, you will find strength in one another. I trust you that you will not let my legacy die when I'm gone."

"Gramps."

Peter hugged him hurriedly. Following him, Nebula also came forward, as this may just be the last time they see the legend alive. Yondu soon grunted and joined. At the same time, Mantis was happy to jump on.

Hector looked at Nebula from a distance and spoke jokingly. "I'm sure I can find space for one more child. Come here now."

She scoffed embarrassingly and came forward. Soon, Hector was surrounded by hugs, and since he was a giant man, he had enough space. But then Groot came. "I am Groot."

He just wrapped his wooden branches around them and hugged everyone tight. Hector, however, bonked on Peter's head. "Why did you keep that recorder in your front pocket? It feels like something else."

"All right... enough hugs. Now I should go and meet the two Asgardian princes. All the best, Guardians. I am leaving my bag behind. It has gifts for all. Open them after I am gone—Adios!"

Hector vanished from the spot suddenly as they watched him in sadness. Peter soon took out gifts, and he only had a little one. So he quickly opened it and found a single music cassette. "What's this? 'The most important'?' What song is this?"

Without much wait, Peter put it into the player and listened. But instead of music, a woman's voice came out... a voice that instantly brought tears to Peter's eyes and made him curse. "Fuck... that crazy old man."

[Tape]

[Peter, it's me, your mom. The President asked me to record this cassette for you in the future. He told me how strong and kind you would be in the future. I hope you're eating well... and just propose to that girl you like, sweetie. I didn't raise you to be so shy...]

The cassette played as everyone sat silently. Peter just cried with no shame as he listened to his mom. Slowly, everyone felt emotional because soon, the old man would be gone. A new era was finally coming to dawn.
