What did Hector plan to do? It was a secret, unknown to all, but that didn't mean Ego would have it easy. He was getting beaten by Wonder Woman, Moony and now even his son as he explored his powers further.

Peter embraced the powers that belonged to his father and started to use the energy around him. The manipulation created beautiful sparks, but they were deadly when used. Wonder Woman had a wide variety of attacks, but she was the best at physical attacks.

*BOOM*

She punched Ego in the face and then launched a barrage of spears she made with the Green Lantern ring. Moony used his mighty Adamantium claws and sorcery to beat the hell out of him, clawing him and then pushing him into a portal that would again bring Ego's body to his claws.

It was a loop, and Moony was kicking ass. Ego, after all, was far away from his planet, and the energy source does get lost in the transmission through the cosmos. And to take energy from the matter around him in deep space was unreliable.

*BAM*

Peter came forward and punched his father in the face, "Stop smirking!"

"You can't kill me, Peter. Nobody can, no matter what." Ego replied, smirking. He cared not even if this body died; he could create an infinite amount of them.

Even now, he could do it, and that's exactly what he did. Suddenly, matter started to gather in a dozen spots, each growing bigger and taking a humanoid form, imitating Ego's looks and body. "I learnt these powers after training myself for eons. The universe is my playground."

"Does each of his body have similar strength? Or are they weaker?" Peter wondered.

Diana shrugged, "Only one way to find out. AAAA..."

She kept her sword out and rushed to slice one of the clones into pieces. *WOOSH* Ego didn't even dodge, but the sword did no damage either. It went right through the body like it was made of sand.

*PA!*

The clone punched Diana's stomach with the fist, it made her squeal a bit, but that was it. Though it made Diana smile, "That's it? One hundred tonnes is all your strength can provide? Fine, it's time to kill you,"

*WOOSH*

She caught the clone with her lasso of truth. As it forces anyone captured within it to obey the wielder's commands and tell the truth, she bellowed, "I command you! Tell me how to kill you!"

The clone struggled, but the lasso was a thing made by DC's Olympian god's magic. "I... D-Destroy the... argh... the core of my p-planet!"

"Where is your planet?" She asked further.

Ego spoke a string of numbers, "G52 22C848T12F+E16UC22..."

"Wuf wuf." Moony barked at Diana, in awe of what he saw. He now only wished that she'd used it on his dad one day. Not for kinks, of course. Good boy didn't even know they existed.

"I presume you liked this? Thank you, dear. But it seems we will need to go to these coordinates to kill him."

"That won't be necessary," Hector's voice reached their ears as a portal of dark clouds appeared beside the good boy.

With a big grin, he came out. "He's dead meat, Diana. Peter, say whatever you want to him. He won't be alive for too long now,"

Ego could feel that Hector was not bluffing, and that confidence must come from somewhere, "What did you do?"

"Take her lasso if you can and ask me," Hector shrugged and proceeded to hand Moony some delicious treats. After all, how can he call himself a proud dad if he does not spoil his boy?

Peter, meanwhile, simply showed his middle finger, "Fuck you for killing my mom, asshole. I hope you die in hell..." he turned to Hector, "He will go to hell, right?"

"Sure, he will go to a very bad hell, one where he will be boiled in oil, disintegrated, made to live the lives of each being he has ever killed. You can't imagine the horrors," Hector elaborated kindly.

Peter and Gamora stared at him in suspicion, "Hmm... how do you know all that?" Peter asked.

*Cough* "Well, I'm the god damn president of the United Galactic Federation,"

"YES SIR!" Peter instinctively saluted and kept showing the middle finger to Ego.

Diana silently flew to his side, "What did you do?"

"Just wait and watch,"

Ego was nervous. He was caught in a mess, as he could not use his full strength. He never expected the President and his woman to be this powerful. And then there was that white furry menace.

"ARGH!" he yelped suddenly. He felt something happening to himself. His core was being harmed.

"What did you do?" He screamed at Hector. Hie eyes showed pure confusion and fear. The idea that he would cease to exist after millions of years of working hard frenzied him.

Hector stayed in his place, arms folded and a look of pride and indifference. "I made a deal, Ego. One heck of a deal."

Ego didn't speak, but his eyes did inquire what he was talking about. So Hector only cared to give a short answer, "Hmm... who could be the greatest enemy of Ego, the living planet? What about—planet eater—Galactus?"

"NO!"

...

A few minutes ago,

Hector came up with the idea to make Galactus Eat Ego and still allow Peter to harness his powers. Since then, Ego's energy will become a part of Galactus' energy. Besides, to Galactus, letting Peter use some powers was not a big deal, as he did the same with his heralds, who were strong enough to destroy planets.

*WOOSH*

He arrived right inside Galactus' ship, in the throne room. The big man was not looking as big right now, as he had the ability to manipulate his size to his wish. Still, he was the size of Hulk.

"Why have you trespassed on my home again, Hector King Washington?"

Hector smiled, "Galan, I have come to bargain. Or let's say, propose a better deal. Do you want to eat another planet?"

(•ˋ _ ˊ•)

Galactus glanced at Hector's face to try to understand what this human even wanted. Why was he acting like his herald without even asking? Still, he was curious, "Which planet?"

Like a shrewd businessman selling stupid overpriced things to gullible housewives, Hector rubbed his hand together and smiled, "You're going to like this one. Say, have you heard about Ego, the living planet?"

Galactus' eyes shined red, and he certainly liked the idea. "I have fought him before. But I was famished back then. Now..."

He had just eaten Tarnax IV, and his hunger was quenched to a reasonable amount. His energy level was enough to eat Ego too. He just never thought it was worth the fight before, "Why now?"

"Well, Ego wishes to devour the Universe and make it his own. He has planted seeds around the various planets. You eating will kill him, and also, Ego had a half son, a good lad. I want that boy to continue to have the primordial powers, which you can grant him,"

Galactus thought about it silently. The pros and cons were clear. The pros were only good; he'd have a lot of energy by eating Ego. But, if the situation turns bad, he'd lose it in the fight.

However, he had a favourable view of Hector to some extent, so he agreed, "What do you wish in return?"

"Nothing, I could have killed him alone if I wanted, but then that young lad would lose the powers. You are the pathway to the most favourable outcome. Nothing less, nothing more,"

Galactus nodded, but, "I can agree, for one thing in return,"

Hector had no damn clue what this all-powerful man could even demand from him. "What is it?"

"I wish to meet your white-furred son,"

(￣▽￣)"

"Moony? What? Why?"
