Moony was fine, it turns out his belly had strong enough acids to melt the bomb. But it was releasing all the smoke now. Thankfully, it won't harm him.

So Hector was free to take care of the fight now. "Good, let's get this over with. What's your name?"

"Adam Warlock,"

This got him thinking, ~I've heard about this name a few times, but is he the cinematic version or the comic?~

"I am Hector King Washington, folks call me Mister President."

The two fought with their gazes for a minute, gauging each other's powers out. But that was impossible for Hector, as Adam had a dead face, while Adam could not read anything either.

The first move was made by Adam. He tried to use the same tactic of kicking and flying away since that was his advantage. So he used his super-speed to move.

However, as he was moving, he noticed Hector's eyes moving in his direction, no matter how fast he was, he'd always be tracked. Too fast to stop himself, he went ahead to kick, *BAM*

In a turn of events, Hector caught Adam's leg and started to slam him to the ground as Hulk did with Loki once. *BOOM* His face smashed the ground on the left, making a dent. *BAM* This time on the right.

"Admit defeat, I am not here to kill you," Hector bellowed.

Adam got back up and punched Hector in the stomach by faking one towards the head. It connected and sent him flying in the air.

~Sonofa... this one hurt,~ he cursed. But feeling pain was also refreshing to him, as he had not felt it in a long time. But he was absolutely not a masochist or anything.

Learning that his brute force wouldn't work on Adam, Hector devised a plan to beat him bloody. He decided to use all the means around him. One after another, he started using the telekinesis to throw the rubble around at Adam.

"What are you even doing, kid? Why are you fighting here?" He asked.

Adam didn't give a straight answer, "I am doing soul searching here,"

The fight continued. It was a war of physical strength more than anything else. Both seemed evenly matched at this stage. But Hector had one ace he had not used. He, too, had his structure made of adamantium after all.

He leapt towards Adam. But at the same time, he turned into his giant werewolf form. His claws immediately extended, they were made of the same metal as his bones. Mighty strong, enough to cut anything.

Folks in the stands cheered seeing the new development. Adam tried to dodge all strikes, but in this form, Hector's senses get heightened, there was no way Adam would be able to sneak behind him.

Each slash he made on Adam ensured a deep cut on his skin, ripping apart his muscles. Adam was pushed back this time.

"What kind of soul searching happens on this garbage planet?" Hector asked as he had the ability to speak in his wolf form.

"I am looking for a soul to put in myself,"

Just then, Hector remembered, ~Ah, this guy, he doesn't have the Soul Stone. No wonder he's looking like this, so dead inside,~

Being the capitalist leader he was, he decided to capitalise on this knowledge, "I know a way to get you a soul, one that's not tainted by any, one that solely belongs to you,"

Adam stopped in his tracks. His logical brain told him this won't be a free meal, "Why would you help me?"

"I am on a quest of finding some souls too, I know where to get them but now is not the time. I can give you some soul later." he offered. After all, Hector's goal was to eventually get his hands on the Soul stone so he can make custom souls to put inside dead bodies and allow the Spirit of Vengeance to possess them. All he needed to do was find a way to not have to let go of what he loved the most. Like hell he was going to sacrifice Moony just for that stone.

"What do you want in return?"

"Haha, smart boy, you know it's not a free service. Well, I want you to work for me on my ship as a loyal crew member. Since I will be travelling a lot across the Universe and fighting various beings, maybe you can get a soul even quicker." He asked. It was better to keep a being like Adam close by, or else if he somehow got another infinity stone, who knows how powerful he'd become. Who knows if he'd be a nice guy or a bad guy.

"Did you not come here to take me back to Sovereign?" Adam questioned.

Hector turned back to his human body and rubbed his beard, "Yes, that is why you will decide to stick with me on your own, not the other way around. First, I shall produce you in front of your sister."

There were no more replies from Adam. He silently walked to Hector and stood by his side. This was the cue that the deal has been made. Now it was time to move.

However, now he had to take off the obedience disc fitted to all three. The thing was, it was impossible to just pull it out. Someone well versed in technology was needed. Maybe Tony could have fixed it.

"Moony, boy, did the electric shocks hurt you?" Hector inquired.

*PAAA!* Moony wanted to bark, but suddenly a long smoky fart came out of his ass. He lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Bwahaha... it's okay, I got this covered."

His solution to the problem was simple. It was to summon a being that could mess up any technology. "Come forth, my Knight!"

A portal appeared beside him, it was his ability to summon beings. From the portal came the Skull Knight H, headless and yet the head area was burning like a raging fire.

"What is your command, my lord,"

"Can you help me get rid of these obedience discs? Should be possible with your hellfire manipulation." He asked him.

Skull Knight didn't speak, he walked up to Adam and put one of his skeleton gloved fingers on the device attached to his neck. The fire spread outside it and turned the blue light in the Obedience disc to red. It started to burn from the inside.

*CLANK* It knocked out of Adam's neck and fell down.

Skull Knight did the same with Logan. However, when it came to Moony, the knight stopped and instead first patted the head. "It will hurt," he warned.

"Wuf!" ~I'm a strong boy, headless friend,~ Moony proudly said.

Skull Knight proceeded to touch the obedience disc.

"It's time to go now. Moony, make the circle,"

Moony started to wave his paw round and round. Eventually, the sparks appeared and the teleportation circle was made. Adam, Logan and Moony jumped in. Hector also proceeded.

"AAAAAAA... YOU! DAMN YOU!" But just then, from the sky, Yondu came down with a parachute.

Hector just remembered him, "Oh, you jumped with me. Well, you're on time. We're just going back now."

*BAM* But then, another man jumped into the arena. Hector recognised him.

"No no... I have not permitted you all to leave, this is my planet and you need to buy your freedom. Here, I don't decide what garbage comes, but I do decide how it leaves." Grandmaster interjected.

Hector snorted, his one foot already inside the magic circle, he looked back, "Hmph, should have stuck with Jurassic Park, dumbass. See you,"

*WOOSH* The magic circle closed down, leaving Grandmaster in a rage of being humiliated in front of so many people in the Arena.

But above all, he was bloody confused, "What's Jurassic Park? Did he just curse at me?"

Grandmaster was not a pushover. He was an immortal man with extreme wealth and power. This was a slap to his face, as never before has someone been able to escape from him alive.

Seething in anger, he turned to face his assistant, "Topaz, find out who that man was, put a bounty on all of them. I want them dead... you hear me? Not alive, I want them dead."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

...

In space, the Freedom One ship was already on the move, jumping out of the star system. A small party was going on. Their plan had worked, since the ship never came too close to the planet, it was not noticed. Even when Moony made the portal, the ship was near the edge of the solar system.

Everyone was happy because this mission would earn them 20 million credits, that's more money than they had seen in their whole lives. But Hector had already made a contract with them. There were about 100 clan members. Each normal ranking crew member would get 10,000 Credits. The 3 vice commanders, Logan, Moony and Yondu, will get 20,000, and the only First Mate on the ship will get 15,000. In total, the salaries would cost 1.05 million credits. The rest of the money will be used to start the business.

Even Hector took a salary of 30,000 credits. The clan members were not satisfied by getting just a small fraction, but Hector shut them up by saying he was the one who did the most work. And they will be given this salary monthly.

This was a better deal as they often don't get paid on a bad month.
