Why the heck would the eater of worlds want to meet Moony? Hector was more confused than a husband whose wife was angry. "What do you want from him?"
Galactus sighed, "I have never seen anything like him before. I contain knowledge of everything in this Universe. I know of his species, but one whose soul is stronger than even mine, I'm baffled. When I wished to erase you from existence the last time we met, I could at least sense a shield around you.
"But for him, I felt no shield, rather a threat from him towards my own soul. That if I wished to hurt him, the very reality would be destroyed. So, I wish to understand that being, for he holds power, not even my siblings, eternity and death contain,"
Hector tried to reason with the situation with a calm mind, ~What the... What's all this? When did Moony become so powerful? Oh wait, he did tell me he's protected by God himself. Argh... now I understand. Moony is a heavenly doggo; how can God allow one to be tortured? It all makes sense.~
"Okay then, I will bring him here after this war is over. Keep some tasty treats for him, that will make him happy," He advised him.
Galactus didn't show it on his face, but he was happy, "Then I shall head to the living planet."
"Sure, go ahead. Don't worry about him being banished from the Death realm. I can nullify it,"
That was the whole conversation they had before Hector returned.
...
Back in space, Ego found his body showing cracks, from where lights were coming out. It was also painful to him, "AA... What have you done... this can't... I'm immortal!"
Smiling, Hector waved goodbye, "Sad for you; I have authority over death itself. Sweet dreams, Ego. I hope you enjoy living the lives of all the children you killed."
"Woof wow."
"No, Moony, don't use such strong language. Bad boy," he reprimanded him quickly.
*BOOM*
All of a sudden, loud sounds appeared. It was weird because they were not supposed to travel in space. But when Hector looked around, it was not from the explosion of Ego's body. Instead, the sound came from dozens of accuser ships appearing out of the jump.
One by one, they surrounded the whole space. This made one thing clear to him, "Hm, so Ego allied with the Kree Empire. What else can we expect from a chaos lover,"
"Well, it's time to bring out the big guns then, I guess." Hector created a portal to the Funhouse dimension to summon his Skull Knights. There were two of them by now, one born from the body of Romulus and one from Mister Sinister.
Hector looked around at the ships as they came out, "The only Kree I wish to add to my collection of Skull Knights is Ronan. But, haha, these fools think I am nothing without the army."
He faced Peter and Gamora, "If my wish was just to destroy Hala, I'd have done it alone. But to fight an empire, I needed an army. Understand this, Peter and Gamora, no matter how strong you get, you always need friends, you always need people you can rely on,"
*ROAR*
The two Skull Knights appeared out of the portal, fire blazing over their bodies. They had no vehicle, however. Hector ordered them immediately, "Get me as many of those ships as you can. After all, when life gives you pig to slaughter, you make fine bacon from it."
The two moved away quickly, letting him focus back on Ego. The man was looking miserable, trying to fight off what was happening. But, he seemed to be failing. He could not control the planet as that neatly right now, and Galactus must be wracking havoc.
"PETER... SON! Help me... I'm your father?"
"You stopped being my father the moment you gave mom the tumour. Don't say my name with that tongue now!" Peter barked back in anger. But he calmed down when he felt a certain hand grasping his.
Looking to his side, he saw Gamora, shaking her head, "It's not worth it," she told him. "He's a dead man,"
Peter sighed, "Who would have thought we both had father issues,"
Sadly, nearly all superheroes had a father problem, from Peter to Tony and Natasha. Hector? Well, he had a family problem in his past life. Now he had a son problem, which was more like a cute fluffy blessing.
Diana put her shield, sword and lasso away, "You know, I nearly felt pity while watching this. But then I remembered a city which a friend of mine used to protect. He had this policy of not killing criminals, but then those criminals would always break out to cause more chaos. So it was a never-ending cycle."
"Batman?" Hector blurted, leaving her speechless.
"H-How? How do you know everything?" She strongly asked.
He just shrugged, "You will have to work harder if you want my deeper secrets, Diana Prince. Oh, by the way, is that date still on the schedule? Because I've already decided on the day,"
Silently, Moony was alternatively looking at Hector and Diana's face, loving this development. He only wished he could fasten it by a hundred, no... a million times.
Diana elegantly smiled, walking closer to Hector and tapping on his shoulder. There was a fallen white hair that she took and cleaned his coat, "Mister Washington, you seem very excited about this. I wonder why?"
She put one hand under her chin and made a confused face while looking at him in his grey eyes. Hector blushed instantly, so what if he was Hell's Inquisitory? To feel flustered when the one you like does something like this was normal.
He handled it masterfully, "Well, Miss Prince, I don't want to waste your time by agonising you and keeping you waiting. I'm sure you have more important work to do."
Hector moved back a little; it was time to end Ego completely and head to Hala. But Diana stopped him, "I have important work? What work?"
At that, Hector simply smiled, "For the second, third, fourth and so on dates, of course. Moony, come with me,"
Diana was left speechless by Hector's smooth move. Though she also giggled with a faint glow on her face, ~Oh my, he's a quick learner.~
(°Д°)
Moony's face was worth watching, however. His jaw was hanging open, and his tongue was falling out. He blankly stayed in one place, processing what his dad had just done.
"AWOOOOO..." and there he went, howling in victory and excitement.
A distance from them, Gamora and Peter awkwardly saw this exchange. Gamora felt secretly jealous, while Peter was just amazed ~Holy shit, Mister President is such a... Wait! Isn't he a virgin?~
...
Ego, the living planet, was not a planet anymore. A giant humanoid being had appeared out of nowhere and was eating the planet piece by piece as if he was a block of cake.
"It seems the more I eat it, the weaker it gets," Galactus noted this down. As he felt the resistance was getting weaker and weaker.
...
The Kree fleet that arrived due to Ego's live location beacon never told them they were heading for suicide. The 2 Skull Knights first latched onto two of the ships and used their hellfire to burn every living soul in them. Then they started raming the ships onto others, ensuring they didn't leave with the jump.
One by one, they took over the accuser ships, the main battleships of the Kree Empire. The emergency message had already been sent to Hala by now, and it told them one thing only, "Federation President is a demon,"
Well, they were not wrong about that.
...
30 minutes later,
The evil man got his body ripped apart into pieces slowly while his mind was destroyed. The planet's core was then finally eaten, chewed by Galactus like it was a fine exquisite cuisine.
The team then returned to the Freedom One ship that had already made its way further towards Hala. Teleportation was just one heck of a thing, though Hector tried not to get addicted.
"That took longer than expected," Hector muttered after arriving at the same place. The ship of Ego was still there, so Peter decided to check it, wondering if he could make it his.
"This looks like an eg-" *WOOSH* "AAAAAAAAA... what's this... I'm being attacked..."
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a girl with antennas on the forehead jumped on Peter and started pulling his hair. She clearly had zero experience in fighting.
"Ah, I nearly forgot about her," Hector remembered this mind-reading girl. She, too, had a sad life, another broken being in this boundless universe that often seemed more evil than good.
~*Sigh* It seems... I should just find the rest of the team and make the Guardian Team already. I wonder what that raccoon is doing right now... and that tree.~
