First step in the journey

"FOS you have already exchanged information with Starscream. Take us away. Oh yes don't be seen by the satellites of Earth. Even though they seeing us is a very minute chance I still don't want to be seen by any spaceships if they exist on the orbit of Earth." John said as he wasn't sure if there were spaceships in the orbits of Earth as he didn't know what Skrulls had been plotting for Secret Invasion.

"Sure. I will go out from the other side of Mars so they nobody from the orbit of Earth can see us." FOS replied. Bucky and John took their seats in the main deck.

"I have to say, this ship looks more futuristic than the previous." Bucky said.

"It does. They were one of the most powerful races in the universe at one point." John replied as he it entered the exosphere within mere seconds.

"Charging the Phantom Drive in 3 seconds.. 1..2..3..." FOS narrated.

FOS who just came to the space vanished after a flash of blue light. They couldn't again appreciate the beauty of Mars and were taken away. The next scene that came up was a huge planet which had massive ring in orbit position. They knew they were now near Saturn.

They could also see a huge green planet in the distance. FOS traveled in a very high speed to the planet. After few minutes FOS got a call. John connected it.

"John. I sensed that you are coming. Come to sector 45 for docking. I have sent the coordinates." a voice said. It was Appa. John had already informed through memories that they were coming in a spaceship.

FOS went to the given coordinates and finally landed in the dock. John and Bucky finally stepped into Oa. The planet of the Guardians. Bucky was having a hard time as he hesitated a lot while stepping his foo into Oa.

"What happened?" John asked seeing his weird face.

"Never have I imagined that I am going to step my foot into another planet. That too an intelligible one. And we are here for the mistakes that I did. Am I worthy of even saving?" Bucky said.

"Bucky. Whatever you did was not under your control. Whatever happens now is under your control. We are here to redeem your wrong and finally take a new path of freedom. And this is just another planet. Don't think much."

As they stepped out, they were able to finally get a glimpse of Oa. It looked more amazing than even John imagined. When John extracted Oa he didn't think much and just wasted 1.5 billion so that the lanterns would help him keep an eye on all of universe using the Guardians. But now when he looked into Oa he understood that it was the Oa of the Ryan Reynlods' movie.

It was futuristic way beyond belief with high rise buildings and small spaceships travelling on their courses. John could even see some Green Lanterns flying around. As they were appreciating the surroundings a Green Lantern came by flying by. It was Hal.

"Hey buddy. The Guardians are waiting for your arrival in the citadel."

"Hey. How's the training going on?" John asked as he hopped into the small ship nearby. It was being operated by a robot. Hal too joined inside along with Bucky.

"It's hectic but at least I don't need to run around. This must be a new guy. Hello! Hal Jordan, the first green lantern of this universe." Hal said while greeting Bucky with pride.

"Bucky Barnes, a semi-stable old man." Bucky replied.

"Woo.. Seems like a story there." Hal replied.

"So why are you in Oa. Don't tell me the Guardians summoned you too." Hal asked John.

"I am here to cure Bucky and for sight seeing." John replied.

"Cure him? OK. Let's talk with the Guardians." He said as they arrived at the citadel. The ship was fast so they didn't take much time to reach the citadel across the sectors.

John, Bucky and Hal walked into the center of the citadel. All the Guardians were present in their positions and all were floating. They didn't look so gloomy like the ones in the Ryan Reynolds' movie.

"Hello Guardians. We are all meeting for the first time." John said.

"Hello John. Thank you for guiding us in this universe and helping us in continuing the mantle of the lanterns."

"It's an honor and I just wanted a little peace in this chaotic universe."

"I understand. And thank you for the shielding technology. Even though the shield won't be able to stop energy attacks, any physical weapons won't be able to harm the lanterns now." Appa said.

"You are welcome. I am here to ask for a favor." John said. "Bucky here is my friend. He had a weird and violent past. He needs to be cured mentally. I hope the Guardians can help him."

"Hmm..." all the Guardians looked at Bucky with squinted eyes. "... Anxiety... Pain.. Sufferings... Killings.. Your mind is confused like the chaotic universe.. You boy need a proper medical screening. Send him to the medical bay."
