Marvel: I Need A New Body

"Not accepting our plan of attack was your own fault, Ronan. You got no right to stand here and speak insolence in the presence of Thanos!" The Other yelled at pure-blood Kree zealot.

Currently, they were in the throne room of Thanos. The Mad Titan was sitting on his throne, though his face was in the opposite direction, and he was busy reading the report that Jerry had sent him. He wasn't much interested in listening to the blabbering of Ronan.

The members of the Black Order were also present, including Gamora and Nebula as well. They too, weren't interested in listening to Ronan's fit. Except for Jerry. If only he had some popcorn...

But he too, just like his step-siblings and step-daddy, had to pretend like he wasn't interested.

"One of my Dark Aster ships was destroyed because the child of Thanos, Ebony Maw, didn't share information with me and you say that it was my fault!" Ronan replied back with a yell, he was furious due to his loss.

Indeed, one of the Dark Aster Ships was blown to smithereens by the Rak-Iechunians and their tough-ass ships. It seems that despite Jerry's warnings, Ronan overestimated his capabilities.

While greatly underestimating the enemy and in the greed of hogging more merits, he split his forces into two.

The first Dark Aster was stationed in space to stop the fleeing enemy ships, for his 'assigned role' in the conquest, while he marshaled the other one to aid the conquest on Gamora-Nebula's side and capture the king of that continent to present him to Thanos himself.

However, without knowing the weakness of the Iechunian Ships, his troops found it challenging to deal with them. And as Iechunians observed that a particular portion of the invading force couldn't defeat them that easily, they rushed towards that point.

Thanks to Ronan, the number of escapees was highest in the side he thought to help.

Moreover, the guarding legion of Dark Aster, stationed in space found themselves in trouble eliminating the fleeing Iechunian forces. Unaware of their weaknesses, even the formidable Necro-Ship couldn't help and a few Iechunians managed to infiltrate the Dark Aster ship.

They blew its engine which caused a chain of explosions within the ship which blew it to smithereens.

And yeah, that dark-skinned Kree, who attacked Star-lord in Morag, during the beginning of the Vol.1 of Guardian of the Galaxy was dead too. He was in charge of that ship and was blown into pieces along with it.

And now, Ronan has shamelessly come here to blame Jerry for not sharing the information and causing him the damage.

Typical...

At the mention of his name, Jerry finally decided to involve himself. He slowly walked to the center, his fingers intertwined together.

A recording of the video conference he had done with Ronan started playing on a projected holographic screen.

The events on the screen unfolded exactly how they did in reality, without any adulteration. From the moment where Jerry told Ronan his role in the upcoming invasion, the moment where Jerry called him stupid, to the point the Accuser got so angry that he rejected to accept the help and even follow the proposed strategy.

'Seriously, though, Ronan's stupidity surpasses even my expectations...'

"The strategy wasn't sent according to YOUR wishes, Accuser. Or perhaps, I should call you FALSE Accuser, from now on?"

Cull Obsidian snorted, seems like seeing his big brother getting involved got him interested in the conversation too. It was too funny seeing that the only comeback Ronan could come up with was yelling and trembling even more.

"You should have sent those regardless, we were allied! Sharing information was your job. Had I known that the planet possessed such ships, I WOULD HAVE MADE APPROPRIATE PLANS, USING MY INTELLECT!!!" Ronan roared, trembling in rage, recalling the insult of his great intellect last time.

"Couldn't use it to gather the information yourself and couldn't use it to improvise during the battle itself, quite the great intellect you have... FALSE Accuser." Jerry smirked.

Through his gaze filled with condescendence, he also kept an eye on Ronan's hands and gestures, to anticipate any attack. Who knew when the young master might blow?

Ronan's rage was getting out of control, true. If only the one ridiculing him wasn't Thanos's child, he would've blasted him with a sonic burst and killed him on the spot! However, he also knew the prowess of the cold-hearted Black Order, he can't lift a finger on any of them unless he wanted to die.

Ronan gritted his teeth, he opened his mouth again, but this time with a bit of tact as he looked at the back of Thanos's throne, "With all due respect, Thanos. I have suffered a great loss because your people didn't comply. I only ask for proper judgment."

"The only one to blame for your loss, "boy", is you," Thanos spoke as his throne turned to face the Kree zealot and everyone present. "Your obsession clouds your judgment while arrogance makes you foolish."

"And you have failed to prove your worth as an ally in battle. However, I shall honor our agreement and give you a last chance. Locate and bring me The Orb." With his deep, commanding, and intimidating voice, he gave Ronan a new task.

"Fail again, and you will know the inevitable wrath of destiny, Kree." Thanos leaned back on this throne and gave the Accuser an evil grin.

Ronan clenched his jaws and gave Thanos a last look before he turned to leave.

Jerry's plan turned out better than he expected. He knew that after riling Ronan up, and verbally attacking him the way he did, the Kree would refuse the help and the stratagem.

And ultimately, would do something stupid and self-destructing considering his personality. He also expected that Iechunians would give him trouble and he'd fail to impress Thanos.

'But such a huge blow to one of the most feared terrorists in the galaxy, great job, Iechunians!'

How his actions affect the future, only the future shall tell...

With this, the war fiasco was over- Not yet!

Now that they have conquered the planet, they need to do the job they have come for in the first place.

It appears that Jerry hadn't got his well-deserved break for the work he put in during the past week.

For the next couple of weeks, Jerry had to roam around with Thanos and other Black Order members from city to city and from continent to continent, delivering uninterrupted speeches, as the soldiers apprehended the twisted populace of Iechun planet from their homes to the plaza for slaughter.

There was even a dedicated unit of Chitauri troops which was armed with golden armor and maroon capes, whose sole role was dragging and slaughtering the citizens.

"Hear me and rejoice! You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become children of Thanos." Jerry would recite Maw's speeches before the soldiers would commence the fire.

"Rak-Iechunians, choose a side or die. One side is a revelation. The other is an honor known only to a few....."

"....Now go in peace and meet your Maker."

These were the final words the nasty populace of Iechun would hear when the rain of fire from Chitauri plasma guns would kill them for good.
