Soon later, Mackenzie passed out from lack of oxygen as Ronan tightened his grip on her throat. Nebula interrupts him, "Ronan, the Guardians and their people are invading the ship!" Ronan cocked his neck to face Nebula. He dropped Mackenzie on the ground after he ordered the surrounding guards to put her in the infirmary while Ronan dealt with the Guardians.

2 hours had passed and Mackenzie woke up to find that she's in the infirmary under strict supervision. It has come to her realisation that Ronan had ordered to keep Mackenzie detained so she cannot run away. Mackenzie realised that her hidden fighting training from her dad who used to be a United States Marine, has to be put to the test as she wanted to get off the Dark Aster.

Mackenzie crept up to the guard and choked him silently so nobody wouldn't hear the struggle. Then, she proceeded to walk out of the infirmary but saw two guards walking nearby so she hid behind the wall before knocking them out cold. She took their guns and began to shoot guards from behind the wall.

After checking that the coast was clear, Mackenzie went to the flying pod room where another two guards were inside of the room. With stealth, she took them out silently and got on a pod.
Mackenzie started the engine of the pod and proceeded to fly to Xandar - home of the Nova Corps and Ronan's enemy.

After Mackenzie last, Ronan headed to the infirmary but soon found that the guards guarding the infirmary had been killed and Mackenzie had escaped.

"KORATH!" Ronan's voice boomed which Korath quickly came to his aid, "Yes, my lord?" Ronan was seething, "I need you and the army to go and search for Mackenzie. I want her alive when you capture her, is that understood?!" Ronan shouted under his breath which Korath nodded and scurried away.

Kira th boomed out orders at the soldiers, "Get ready to get deployed!" While Korath was taking care of the soldiers, Ronan headed to the pod room and found the guards dead on the floor.
"What has Mackenzie done now?" Ronan grumbled while he checked the security cameras and noticed Mackenzie was fighting all the guards that came in contact with her. "Korath, get me a pod, I'm going to Xandar to retrieve Mackenzie" He ordered but Korath looks worried, "But, my lo-" Ronan interrupts him, "Just get me a pod!" He shouted which Korath orders the soldiers to get a pod ready for Ronan.

Mackenzie finally arrived in Xandar after what seemed like a lifetime. However, the joy of arriving on the planet was short lived. Mackenzie was surrounded by Nova Corp guards, "Get out of the vehicle and make yourself known!" Denarian Saal shouted from his flying craft which Mackenzie came out of the pod with her arms in the air. "I'm not a criminal, I'm escaping from Ronan the Accuser!" Mackenzie declared her innocence which shortly afterwards the Nova Corps brought her to Nova Prime Rael in the Nova Headquarters.
