"Come now, Peter. I know this isn't what you want. What kind of father would I be to let you make this choice?"

Rocket throws small balls at the tentacles, then formed a spherical shield around him as he presses a button, blowing up he tenacles and lands on the ground with a smile.

"Yeah."

Sarah, who just finished shooting at so many tendrils of light with her guns, shook her head with a fond smile at her boyfriend.

"Always a show off, Rocket."

To which Rocket sent her back a smirk as he casually shrugged in response, before the couple went back to the fighting.

"Soon. Peter, we will be all there is. So, stop pissing me off!"

Ego's skeleton begins to form of light as he slowing walks towards Peter and he slowly turns into his human form again.

Sarah moved to protect Peter from his father, but a shout stopped her, making her turn around and gasp as a tenacle has pinned her uncle to the ground and had broken his arrow.

"Uncle!"

She dashed towards Yondu, only for a tenacle to grab her by the legs, thus making her fall to the ground on her stomach and rocks began to cover her body as she struggled to get free.

"Sarah!!!"

The young woman looked up to her furball rushing to her aid with a look of panic, but she could only watch in horror as Rocket's feet was seized by rocks that slowly began to cover his body. Sarah saw look of fear and desperation on Rocket's face as he tried to reach for her to which only their fingertips nearly grazing one another.

"SARAH!!!" Rocket screamed, despair in his voice as Sarah was covered completely.

She thought that she was die, when she and the others fought Ronan, but she lived and only grew stronger from it. 

She got to become like a sister to Peter and Gamora, who taught her how to fight and enjoy old music and dance to it.

A cooking buddy with Drax, despite him making terribles messes.

Becoming Little Groot's mother to which she would smother him with motherly love and spoil him with treats and gushed at his cuteness.

and

Rocket, her furball that she saved from dying and met on the same night that she was going to end it all, but he saved her from the pain and her tormentor, the furball that loved her as she loved him, the furball that she helps raise Little Groot....and the furball, who supposedly got her pregnant with a child...but now they will never know.

The boulders continued to move with a mind of their own, before they stretched over her body and began to crush her.

Sarah couldn't breathe as she was shrouded by darkness, she couldn't make anything out and it frightened her that she couldn't tell that she was alive or dead.

"Hey, Sweetheart!"

Her eyes shut tightly on the account of the sudden intake of brightness. However, Sarah rubbed her eyes, and blinked slowly, adjusting to the sudden light as she started realizing that she was still alive. She looked up to see that Rocket was looking down at her with worry.

"You alright?" Rocket asked.

Sarah nodded quickly, before tightly wrapping her arms around his torso and burying her face into his soft and furry neck, causing Rocket to hug her back and plant gentle kisses on her head.

The couple froze as the entire structure around them shook violently, and after giving each other looks of fear, they quickly got up and picked up their weapons. Rocket quickly powered up the aero-rig on his back and flew over to Groot's position and shouted into the tunnel where Ego's core was.

"Groot! Groot, if you can can hear me, hurry up- -I'm not sure how long Quill can keep him distracted!" Rocket warned his friend.

Sarah found her uncle standing alone, a smile on his face as he watched the fight Peter and his father. She ran over while dodging many falling debris

"Where's Peter?!" She asked Yondu, grabbing his arm.

"Fighting his father." Yondu replied with a shrug.

Peter continues to battle his father Ego, and brings his arm, now filled with light, away from the wall, so that he causes a shock-wave of light and rock around the interior of the hollow, flying straight towards Ego and knocking him aside roughly. Yondu shields his niece as dirt is strewn in the wake of their battle.

"Talk about a family feud." Sarah said as she moved away from her uncle as he let her go and watched the fight.

"Yondu! Sarah! We're about to blow!" Rocket warned them as he lands next to them with Little Groot on his shoulder.

"Get to the ship." Yondu ordered Rocket, before looking at his niece. "Both of you!"

"Not without you and Peter!" Sarah argued.

"You gotta take care of the twig and the rat." Yondu said.

Rocket catches on, his ears flattening against his head in sadness as he realizes what Yondu's about to do.

"Not without you." Rocket muttered.

Yondu gazes into Rocket's eyes, an entirely new look of seriousness in his expression that Rocket had never seen before in his time of knowing him.

"I ain't done nothing right my whole damn life, rat. You need to give me this." Yondu pleaded. "You take care of her, you hear?"

Rocket, hesitantly, nods at Yondu's request.

"U-Uncle..."

Yondu turns towards his niece and his heart shattered as he saw her that began to shed tears as she shook her head.

"No...I won't let you do this."

Yondu shook his head, looking at the ground, before back up at his niece, who glared at him through misty eyes that were threatening to spill over.

"Sarah..."

The young woman marched up to her uncle and to pound on his chest to which Yondu made no move to defend himself.

"You flarking idiot!" Sarah shouted as she continued to hit her uncle. "I find out that you're my uncle and now you decided to stay here?!" As she yelled at him, Yondu noticed that each strike that she struck him with, grew weaker and that soon to slow hits to stopped. Sarah lifted her head up, revealing a heartbroken expression with rivers of tears flow down her face. "I don't w-want to l-lose you-u..."

Yondu pulled his niece into a bone-crushing hug to which Sarah quickly returned as she sobbed into his chest and Rocket wiped away his own tears as Little Groot whimpered and teared up on his shoulder, he wanted to say something....anything, but he felt that he shouldn't interude on this moment between Sarah and Yondu.

Sarah sniffed and rubbed her eyes as she looked back up at her uncle, who surprised her by taking off his ravagers jacket and wrapping it around Sarah's shoulders to which she reached up and held it with her hand, before looking up at Yondu.

To which sent the same image of his niece wearing his coat and big smile flashed in his head, to which he tried prevent himself from losing it.

He then reached over to grab the back of Sarah's head and brought his forehead to hers, making his niece's eyes widen at the move and the tears that Yondu seemed to be holding back to which the young woman's eyes tear up more.

"You'll never lose me....." He whispered, before pointing at her chest. "...I'll be right here in yer heart...that is what yer mother..always told me." He then pulled his forehead away and placed a small kiss on Sarah's forehead, before pulling back and backing away from his niece. "Now move!!!"

Sarah sniffed, before nodding as Rocket grabs some things from his bag, before handing them over to Yondu. Yondu takes them without question, and nods at Rocket. 

"A space suit and one aero-rig, I only have two of each." Rocket told him, pulling out a spare set to Sarah, who pulled on Yondu's jacket on her properly and took the items from Rocket. "One's meant for her."

Rocket and Sarah starts to fly away, but pauses and before they can say anything, Little Groot had spoken up instead.

"I am Groot." Groot told Yondu.

"What's that?" Yondu asked.

"He says welcome to the frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy... only he didn't use 'frickin'." Rocket answered.

"Bye, twig." Yondu smirked.

Little Groot waves his final goodbye as Rocket finally flies up towards the surface, but Sarah stays and looks at her uncle, who looked back with sorrowful eyes and whispered:

"Go..."

Sarah sniffed, before flying towards Rocket, who waited for her to joined him and when she made it, they both flew up to the ship.

"We're gonna need to have a discussion about your language." Rocket muttered to Little Groot.

Back on the ship, Gamora was tending to Mantis, who was still unconscious as Nebula sits nearby.

She looks up to see that Rocket has returned with Sarah and Little Groot, but couldn't notice that Peter was not with them.

"Where's Peter?" Gamora speaks, concernedly and it grew as Rocket doesn't talk and Sarah just looks away." Rocket, Sarah, Where is?" Her eyes widened in horror, when the teary eyes of Sarah met her gaze. "Guys. GUYS, LOOK AT ME! WHERE IS PETER?!"

Rocket looks down, unsure how to respond. "Mmm..." as Sarah justs holds onto herself tightly as Little Groot points in the direction that they came from. Gamora quicks grabs her blaster as she goes into panic mode.

"No. I'm not leaving without him."

But before she could take another step, Rocket stuns her with his gun to which Gamora drops to the floor.

"I'm sorry. I can only afford to lose one friend today." Rocket spoke while tearing up. "Kraglin, go!"

It is then he looks to his sides to see that Sarah was not next to him, which sent him into a state of panic as his eyes widened in horror, before whipping his head around the ship doors, thinking that Sarah went back to get Yondu and Quill, only to calm down somewhat as he spotted his girl staring at the planet.

Sarah was originally going to try to go back to save her uncle and Peter, but just as she reached the doors, something seems to have stopped her from jumping off the ship and she was just standing looking down at the battle below.

Ignoring Drax's questioning on the intercom, Rocket rushed over to his girlfriend, intending to scold and yell at her for trying to get herself killed, but he just as he made it to her side and opened his mouth to yell out her, he was cut off....

"I know what you're say, Rocket." Sarah said, not looking away from the fight as the bay doors were closing. "I want to go back...to save my uncle and Peter, but...I can't do it...not in my condition."

It was then Rocket noticed that she had a hand on her belly, it then clicked in his head that Sarah had to stay in order to protect their child, if  she really was pregnant.

"I can't risk it, if I'm pregnant....no matter how much it hurts, Rocky."

Rocket's ears fell against his head as he watched his girlfriend fall to her knees and holds her herself tight as she struggles to keep her tears at bay, it really hurts him to see her like this.

It was then that the bay doors closed shut and the ship flew off and away from the planet Ego, that Sarah couldn't hold it in and began to cry her heart out as she heard the destruction of the planet and suffering from the loss of her Uncle Yondu and Peter.....her brother.

Sarah felt a hand gently touch on her shoulder, and saw that Rocket moved into her field of vision, looking at her with sorrowful yet tearful eyes.

"Sarah...I-I'm sorry..." Rocket barely uttered. "...so very sorry, sweetheart."

The terran wrapped her arms around Rocket and buried her face into his furry neck and broke down as Rocket embraced her and placed his head in her shoulder

It didn't take long to notice that Rocket started shaking against her and Sarah felt her shoulder getting wet to which hugged her boyfriend tighter.

"Someone's out there! They have an aero-rig on 'em!" Kraglin shouted over the intercom.

The couple broke away from each other at Kraglin's sudden shouting, but quickly moved to do as he asked. In the distance, Sarah saw two figures and quickly Kraglin flew out there to grab Peter and Yondu. Rocket and Sarah helped everyone back inside and shut the hangar doors. Sarah hugged Peter really tight to which her fellow terran return it with a bone-crushing version of his own, she was really glad that he had one of Rocket's gadgets that helped him breath in space.

Sudden it hit her, if Peter had the aero-rig and breathing mask...then that would mean.

Breaking away from Peter, Sarah dropped down to her knees, next to Yondu and stared in disbelief.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and then she reached out with a shaky hand towards her uncle and touched him....only to gasp in horror as she found him, very cold to the touch. She slowly looked towards Peter with wide eyes, filled with horror and disbelief to which her fellow terran looked at her, shaking his head as rivers of tears fell down his cheeks.

Sarah looked back at her unmoving uncle and gripped his cold lifeless hand and could only start crying again as Peter joined her on the ground and hugged her to his chest with her, not letting go of her uncle's cold hand.

"N-Nooo...."
