"How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?" Gamora asked herself out loud. The five of them met up again. 

"What do you still have it for?!" Rocket asked with his paws on his face dramatically. 

"What are we gonna do, leave it in there?!" Peter asked sarcastically.

"I can't believe you had that in your purse!" Rocket exclaimed as he pointed to Quills 'purse'. 

"It's not a purse, it's a knapsack!" 

"We have to bring this to the Nova Corps!" Gamora interrupted them. "There's a chance they can contain it." 

"Are you kidding me?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps. Just give it to Ronan!" Rocket protested. 

"So he can destroy the galaxy?!" Peter argued. 

"What are you, some saint all of sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?" 

"Because I'm one of the idiots who lives it!" 

"Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the Stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova." Gamora said to Peter. 

"Right, right, okay. I think you're right...Or we can give it to someone who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice, for a whole lot of money... I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view-" 

"You're despicable. Dishonourable. Faithless!" Gamora was stopped by the sound of spaceship engines. "Oh no.." 

"At last!" Drax laughed. "I shall meet my foe and destroy him!" 

"You called Ronan?!" Peter asked shocked. The six of them saw Ronan's ships get closer. Peter watched until he was interrupted by someone yelling. 

"Quill! Don't you move, boy!" Peter looked over to where he heard the voice and saw Yondu and his men run towards him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gamora run towards small spaceships that were used for mining. The others, except Drax, followed. "Don't you move! Get out of my way!" Yondu called as he and his men pushed his way through the crowd of people. Gamora pulled a man out of a small ship and climbed in. Quill got a ship and so did Rocket. 

"I told you, Groot, you can't fit. You two wait here. I'll be back." He said to Groot and (Y/N) before he flew off after Quill. 

"Still as bossy as ever, isn't he?" (Y/N) said smiling, which made Groot laugh. Then they heard the battle cries of Drax. They ran in his direction and found him fighting Ronan. (Y/N) flew up and straight after Ronan punched Drax to the ground, she landed on Ronan's back and covered his eyes with her wings. (Y/N) managed to land a quick but deep cut on his arm with one of her knives. Ronan threw (Y/N) off his back and onto the ground. He looked to his arm and saw his armour had been torn. He growled before Drax, once again, came running towards him. They fought for a bit then (Y/N) flew directly at Ronan and punched him square in the face, making him fall. (Y/N) turned back to Ronan about to do it again as Ronan stood up. But Ronan moved out of the way, grabbed one of (Y/N)'s wings and threw her to a wall, knocking her out. Ronan and Drax battled for another five minutes before Ronan had Drax on the ground while his hand was held tightly around his neck. 

"I don't recall killing your family." Ronan let him go and stood up straight. "I doubt I'll remember killing you either." He said before he grabbed Drax's leg and dragged him towards a large container of gooey yellow liquid. He threw Drax in and heard a ship lower behind him. 

"Ronan...It is done." He heard Nebula say through an ear piece. He walked onto the ship and they flew into space and up into their much larger ship. Groot ran over to (Y/N). (Y/N) opened her eyes and sat up. She winced a little before she remembered. 

"Where's Drax?" She got up and looked around. 

"I am Groot!" Groot called from a tub with yellow liquid. He stretched his vines and pulled Drax out. He laid him down and made his finger sharp, like a needle. He took a breath then stuck his finger into Drax's chest. After a second, Drax coughed up the yellow substance and started to breath normal again. He slowly sat up as a little ship gently crashed near them. The door opened and Rocket came out. 

"Blasted idiot. They're all idiots! Quill just got himself captured!" He said. "None of this ever would have happened if you didn't try to single-handedly take on a frickin' army!" He complained to Drax. 

"You're right." Drax agreed as he continued to lay on the ground on his side. "I was a fool. All the anger, all the rage, was just to cover my loss." He said then looked to the ground. 

Rocket looked at him with sympathy before he said, "oh, boo-hoo-hoo. 'My wife and child are dead'." He mocked. Groot gasped as he put his hand over his mouth. "Oh, I don't care if it's mean! Everybody's got dead people! It's no excuse to get everybody else dead along the way." He said before he looked to Groot, who had a slightly annoyed face, and to (Y/N) who had her arms crossed. "Come on, Groot. Let's go, (Y/N). Ronan has the Stone. The only chance we got is to get to the other side of the universe as fast as we can and maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to live full lives before that whack-job ever gets there." Then Groot stood up. 

"I am Groot." He said, which (Y/N) nodded to. 

"Save them? How?" Rocket asked. 

"I am Groot."

"I know they're the only friends we ever had, but there's an army of Ravagers around them. And there's only three of us!" 

"...Four." Drax said as he stood up slowly and put a hand on Groot and (Y/N)'s shoulders. Rocket groaned and rolled his eyes angrily. He turned around and started kicking a patch of grass. 

"You're making..me..beat..up..grass!" Rocket stopped and faced the three. "...Let's go." He said as they went to the Milano. Once they found it, they all got on and tracked down the Ravagers ship. Rocket and (Y/N) sat in the front seat. Rocket had told Drax to be ready to get on the top of the ship to shoot a gun at the Ravagers. "So, you fight Ronan?" Rocket asked (Y/N), breaking the silence. (Y/N) nodded. "Yeah... He's tough. What happened while you were up there with the others?" 

"Well, Gamora almost died. Then Quill saved her. Then he almost died. Then the Ravagers showed up and took both of them." 

"Sounds like I missed a party." 

Rocket chuckled, "guess you did...We're here. Drax! Go!" Drax made his way onto the top of the ship while covered in a suit to protect him while being in space. He held the gun in place and waited for Rocket's call. "Fire!" He heard Rocket say. Drax shot the gun at the massive ship and waited a couple of seconds before he shot again. And again. Rocket spoke into the loud speaker, "attention, idiots. The lunatic on top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. A weapon of my own design. If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one! I'm giving you to the count of five. Five! Four! Three!-" 

"Rocket, it's me, for God sakes! We figured it out! We're fine!" They heard Quill say over a loud speaker. 

"Oh, hey Quill. What's going on?"
