"Fire!" Yondu yelled. As two of the Ravagers ships shot at the Dark Astor blinding then from out view.

"Cover it down! Submerge!"

We all then flew under the Dark Astor.

"Rocket hurry!" Quill yelled as we dodged many of the other ships shooting at us.

"Come on!" Kraglin yelled.

"Quill! Yondu! Now!" Rocket yelled. We then see a ship get shot down.

"Aw, hell! I'm going down, Quill! No more games for me, boy! I'll see you at the end of this!" Yondu yelled as his ship went down. We were surrounded and weren't able to make it to the Dark Aster.

"There are too many of them, Rocket! Well never make it up there!" Gamora yelled. Just then Nova Corps ships join us.

"Peter Quill, this is Denarian Saal of Nova Corps. For the record, I advised against trusting you here." Saal spoke.

"They got my 'dick' message!" Quill yelled as I smiled and let out a little laugh.

"Prove me wrong." Saal said as Nova Crops ships started aiding us in the fight. Quill then flew the Milano into the Dark Astor, shooting at all the soliders and through the ship, while Drax laughed hestericaly.

"Yes! Yes!" Drax yelled as we all turned to look at him. I then turn to Quill and smile.

"We're just like Kevin Bacon." I said.

We hop out of the Milano and roam the ship, but it was so dark that I held my hands out to make sure that I  didn't run into anything.

"I can barley see." Drax said. Groot then raised his arm, and little lights came out, lighting the whole ship.

"When did you learn to do that?" Drax said as I looked around in astonishment and laughed.

"I'm pretty sure the answer is 'I am Groot.'" Quill said.

"The flight deck is three hundred meters this way." Gamora spoke as we coutinued our walk.

"I want you all to know that I am grateful for your acceptance after my blunders. It is pleasing to once again  have friends. You, Quill, are my friend." Drax spoke.

"Thanks."

"This dumb tree, he is my friend."

"Mmm."

"This white Kimonian, she too, is my friend."

I simply nodded my head to his statement.

"And this green whore, she, too...."

"Oh, you must stop!" Gamora said. Just then Nebula jumped down.

"Gamora, look at what you have done. You have always been weak. You stupid, traitorous..." But she never finished because Drax shot her, sending her back a bit.

"Nobody talks to my friends like that."

Gamora smiled slightly and turned to me.

"Head to the flight deck. Kiana and I will shut down the power to the security doors."

Gamora and I walk up to the power source. I walked over and opened it. But before we could shut it off, Gamora jumped down.

"Nebula, please." Gamora begged.

"Nebula, you are my friend, and Gamora's sister, we do not want to hurt you."

"Stop living in a fantasy, Kiana, we were never friends." Nebula hissed. My face hardened as she approached us, taking out two sticks. I unstrapped my staff and swung it off my back and pulled it out in front of me. I ran foreward and swung my staff, hitting Nebula in the head, she fell down as I backed away, she then jumped back up and swung her sticks at me as she managed to hit me in the side of my head, knocking me to the floor, she then kicked me in the stomach, making me loose my breath. I clutch my stomach as I try to breath in. While Gamora took over with fighting Nebula. Gamora then managed to kick Nebula, which resulted her to being thrown off the side of the ship, but her arm catches the edge and she hangs off. I swiftly jumped back up and went over to the power core.

"Nebula! Sister, help us fight Ronan. You know he's crazy!"

"I know you're both crazy." Nebula said, as I watched her cut her arm off and fall.

"No!"

"Good bye old friend." I whispered as I cut the power core open. Gamora nodded at me as she shoot threw the floor. We then both jump up and land next to Quill, who then shoot Ronan with the canon Rocket made.

"You did it!" Drax yelled. But then the dust cleared, and Ronan appeared unharmed. He then lifted up his hammer, which had the power gem in it and throws us aside. Drax got up and ran over to Ronan, only to be picked up by the throat.

"I was mistaken, I do remember your family. Their screams we pitiful. I..." But he was interupted by me, who screamed and ran over, smashing my staff over his head. He let go of Drax and turned over to me. He swung his hammer, but I swiftly dodged it. I then swung my staff at him, only for him to grab it, I stared at him in the eyes not showing any fear.

"I will kill you." I growled. He then pulled me in and grabbed me by my hair and raised me in the air. I let out a scream as I grabbed at his hand, trying to get him to release me. While me feet kicked in the air.

"I remember you, the Kimonian princess." He said as he laughed.

"I enjoyed hearing your mother and sisters crys and screams, they were weak." Ronan said as he laughed and pulled my hair harder and then grabbed my arm, slowly twisting it, causing another scream to erupt from my mouth as tears streamed down my face.

"Time for you to join your fami..."

But he was cut off by Rocket crashing his ship into the Dark Astor. Causing Ronan to drop me and fly back. I landed on the floor and refused to move, my muscles were in pain and my head was pounding in pain. In then felt a pair of arms wrap around me and pull me over. I opened my eyes a little to see Quill.

"Peter." I whispered as I looked over to see Gamora dragged Drax and Rocket lying next to next to Quill. I groaned as I clutched my stomach.

"Don't move." Quill said.

Just then Groot extended his arms, growing his branches around us as the Dark Astor went down, forming a dome to protect us, Rocket woke up just in time to see what groot was doing.

"No, Groot! You can't, you'll die. Why are you doing this? Why?" Rocket cried out, as Groot put a small branch on Rocket's cheek and smiled.

"We are Groot."

And then everything went black.
