Chapter 13: One-Inch Man
The ship smashed through trees of the forest. Gamora held onto Drax's rope as he hit each of the trees. He grunted in pain with each hit. The ship soared through the forest as it knocked down multiple trees. It slowed to a stop and froze for seconds before the right wing of the ship fell off. Birds flew away in freight. Drax laughed as he lifted himself up off the ground. "That was awesome!" He yelled. "Yes!" He continued laughing.
"Look at this!" Gamora yelled angrily. "Where is the other half of our ship?!" She asked.
"My ship." Quill mumbled.
"Either one of you could have gotten us through that field had you flown with what's between your ears instead of what's between your legs!"
Quill looked over to Drax and (Y/N). "If what's between my legs had a hand on it.. I guarantee I could landed this ship with it."
"Peter, we almost died because of your arrogance." Gamora said with her hands on her hips.
"More like because he stole the Anulax batteries!" Quill yelled as he pointed to Rocket.
"They're called Harbulary batteries." Drax tried to correct him, even though he was wrong himself.
"No, they're not!" Quill exclaimed with his arms out.
"Do you know why I did it, Star-Munch? Hmm?" Rocket asked Peter.
"I'm not gonna answer to "Star-Munch"."
"I did it because I wanted to!"
"Dick..."
"What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up 50 ships!"
"How little?" (Y/N) asked.
"Well, I don't know, like this?" Rocket raised his hand and used his fingers to show how big the man was.
"A little one-inch man saved us?" Gamora asked sarcastically, clearly not believing him.
"Well, if he got closer, I'm sure he would be much larger."
"That's how eyesight works you stupid racoon." Peter said annoyed.
"Don't call me a racoon!" Rocket growled aggressively.
"I'm sorry. I took it too far... I meant trash panda."
Rocket looked to Quill then to the others. "Is that better?"
"I don't know." Drax replied.
"It's worse. It's so much worse." Peter said to Drax as he gave a slight laugh.
"You son of a...!" Rocket began to say as he lunged and tried to bite Quill as he jumped back. "I've had it with you!" Rocket yelled. "Hey! No! Back up!" Peter yelled.
"Someone followed you through the jump point." Nebula said as she saw a ship slowly get closer to the group. Everyone got their weapons ready. They stood in a circle, back to back. "Set me free. You'll need my help."
"I'm not a fool, Nebula."
"You're a fool if you deprive yourself a hand in combat."
"You'll attack me the moment I let you go."
"No, I won't." Nebula said unconvincingly.
"You'd think an evil supervillian would learn how to properly lie." Peter said. Nebula glared at him.
"I bet it's the one-inch man." Drax said with a small smile.
A white and yellow egg-shaped ship lowered down in front of the guardians and Nebula. It landed on the ground and opened a bright yellow circular door. Two figures stood at the entrance. They walked out, revealing a woman with green clothes, shoulder-length black hair, large black eyes and two antennas on the top of her forehead. Next to her, stood an older man with gold coloured clothes and a black scarf, grey hair and a grey beard. "After all these years, I've found you." The man said.
"And who the hell are you?" Peter asked.
"I figured my rugged good looks would make that obvious. My name is Ego...and I'm your dad, Peter."

"I hired Yondu to pick you up when your mother passed away. But instead of returning you... Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why." Ego explained.
"Well, I'll tell you why. Because I was a skinny little kid who could squeeze into places adults couldn't. It made it easier for thievin'." Peter informed.
"Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since." Ego said before he ate a spoonful of his soup.
"I thought Yondu was your father." Drax said out loud.
"What? We've been together this whole time and you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative?" Peter asked.
"You look exactly alike." Drax said with his mouth full.
"One's blue!" Rocket exclaimed.
"No, he's not my father! Yondu was the guy who abducted me-" Rocket gave Drax a disgusted look while Drax slurped his soup. "-kick the crap out of me so I could learn to fight and kept me in terror by threatening to eat me."
"Eat you?" Ego asked.
"Yeah."
"Oh, that son of a bitch." Ego said as he put his soup down.
"How'd you locate us now?" Gamora asked.
"Well, even where I reside, out past the edge of what's known we've heard tell about the man they call Star-Lord. What say we head out there right now? Your associates are welcome. Even that triangle faced monkey there." Ego gestured to Rocket, who put his hands on his snout insecurely. "I promise you. It's unlike any other place you've ever seen. And there...I can explain your very..special heritage. Finally get to be..the father I've always wanted to be. Excuse me. I've gotta take a whiz." Ego walked away to one of the trees.
"I'm not buying it." Peter said to Gamora.
"Let's go take a walk." She replied.
