Just as everyone finished packing and prepared to board the ships for Nidavellir.
Gamora, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, her tone filled with deep concern:
"Wait! Have we overlooked something?"
She looked at Su Ming.
"Thanos's target is all the Infinity Stones.
He knows the Soul Stone is difficult to obtain for now.
But the other one... the Reality Stone,
should still be in Collector Tivan's museum.
On Knowhere!"
She took a deep breath, fear flashing through her eyes.
As though she had recalled some terrible memory:
"If Thanos is held up elsewhere, he may immediately turn toward Knowhere!
Someone has to get there first and take the Reality Stone.
Or at least make sure it doesn't fall into Thanos's hands!"
Rocket Raccoon, who was still riding high on his excitement, his mind full of I'm the captain, I'm going to fly a big ship.
Immediately jumped into the pilot's seat upon hearing that.
He smacked the console with his little paw and shouted:
"That's right! Exactly! We can't let that purple potato-head get his way!"
He had clearly fully embraced his role as "captain" and began issuing orders.
"Listen up! We're strong and well-staffed now!
We've got enough idiots... uh, I mean, brave warriors!
And we've got several ships!
We can split into two teams!"
He pointed at himself.
"Captain Rocket will personally pilot the fastest ship.
I'll take Thor, Loki, and... hmm... the boss to Nidavellir to forge the ultimate weapon!"
Then he pointed at Quill, Gamora, and Drax.
"You three! The dumb-as-rocks Star-Lord, the green-skinned girl, and the revenge-crazed big lug!
Take another ship to that whatever-it's-called Knowhere.
Get the Reality Stone back!
Two birds with one stone! Perfect!"
Quill was immediately unhappy when he heard that.
