The Milano came out of hyperspace and was approaching Half-world 'It's been a while since I've been here'
"You ok Rocket?" asked Red hood
"Yeah why'd ya ask?"
"You look spooked,"
"It's nothing I..I haven't been here in a long time,"
"I know the feeling,"
The Milano managed to get past the galacian wall and landed in Half-world
"Stay sharp! this place is swarming with robo scientists," warned Rocket
"Hey it's your world so your in charge," Quill said
"Ok so we split into teams, Red Hood and Arsenal go west, Gamora and Drax cover the east valley, Quill stay in the ship as backup and Groot...you follow me,"
"Hey why do I get to be backup?"
"Cause I'm in charge,"
"Fine" sulked Quill as he made his way back to the Milano while the team made their way surveying the area.
The first team was the former outlaws red hood and arsenal, the went west wards to survey the area
"It's been a while since we were a team,"said Arsenal
"Yeah..it has," Jason responded
Arsenal spotted a clearing up ahead just beyond two huge rocks the two outlaws hid behind the rocks and arsenal scanned the horizon"Well...Rocket was right, this place is swarmed with them!"said Arsenal
"Lets take em down?"
"Hell yeah!" Red Hood said excitedly.
Arsenal nocked an electro arrow and fired it on the nearest robot and shorted it out, "Cease all defiant activity," said the Robots as they blasted Arsenal, who avoided it and shot another arrow at the bot, Red Hood took out a machine gun and started shooting robots left and right and destroyed quite a few of them. Arsenal smiled and shot tow arrows as the nearby robots who were about to shoot Red Hood in the back
"Feels like old times eh Jason?"
"Yeah,"
Red Hood ran out of machine gun ammo and reloaded, at this time the Robots surrounded the Outlaws
"Hey Jase remember the enhanced electro arrow?"
"Yeah...what about it?"
"I might have brought a few of em with me"
Red Hood sighed "Fine...use em"
"Thought you'd never ask!"
Arsenal took out the enhanced electro arrow and slammed it on the ground, it's impact released a shock wave that shorted out all the Robots in a 10 mile radius. "Good news no more robots, bad news our comms are down and so are all our electro-equipment" said Red Hood
"At least the robots are gone" Arsenal pointed out
"Yeah I guess that's a good thing"
The Outlaws proceeded into the base and found it deserted "Signs of struggle...there was a fight" observed Jason
"Yeah you're right but robo v who?" Arsenal asked
Red Hood moved closer and spotted fur on the ground, he picked it up and examined it
"Looks like animal fur, Raccoon to be specific"
"Rocket?"
"No...it doesn't although the genetic coding does match Rocket's though"
"Relations? maybe grand-parent, father?, I don't know son maybe?" Arsenal suggested
"son? really? but...it may be his parents or maybe even siblings"
"Can you run a scan through recognition?"
"Through what?! my comic books?!"
Arsenal light up a light bulb "Yeah...yeah you could, If everything in the comics is true then maybe.."
"Maybe we can find who this belongs too"Jason continued
Jason ran a scan through a dozen different comic books with the name 'Rocket raccoon' in it and found various matches
"Well..." Roy asked
"Well, there are several family members that still exist, his brother,mother and sister"
"Father?"
"Don't know it doesn't say maybe he's dead or...missing"
"Lets go with missing in action"
"He wasn't a soldier, at least I don't think he was, but..the fur sample has an XY gene, meaning that it's brother,Ranger."
"Arsenal see if you can find the power switch in this place"
"On it"
Arsenal found an emergency power switch and flipped it and the lights went on but then it flickered and shut down "Well...I think the enhanced electro arrow took out ALL power in this facility"Arsenal commented
"Ya don't say buddy"Jason said
"STOP RIGHT THERE INTRUDERS!" said a deep voice from behind
Arsenal and Red Hood turned around and saw glowing red eyes "Great...more bots"said Roy as he withdrew an arrow and shot it at the one on the left
It avoided it and shot back with a green plasma ray that hit Arsenal on the shoulder, the second on tried to shoot Jason but he saw it coming and withdrew his shuriken batarang and threw it at the second which caught it's right shoulder and Jason punched it put cold
"You guys are softer than those robots outside...more importantly how'd you not get fried!"Jason asked with the lights still off"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!WE AIN'T BOTS!" shouted the thing he was fighting
"THAT"S ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU! BLACK JACK! WAL-RUS STAND DOWN! NOW!" said a third voice from behind
The power returned and Red Hood as well as Arsenal saw a huge walrus, a rabbit who was on the floor clutching his shoulder from the batarang wound was bleeding
"d..da..damn you...that hurt.."said the Rabbit as he yanked it out and dropped it
"ARGH!" he shouted
Another Raccoon emerged from the shadows "Wal-rus tend to blackjack I'll have a word with these two" he said
"of course,I'll take him to Lylla" Wal-rus took blackjack into the shadows and disappeared
"Ranger,I take it" said Red Hood
"That's right, how did you figure my identity out so quickly?"
"It's a long story"
"Yeah...even I have questions too, is...is my brother Rocket here? Since you know me then you must know him,"
"yeah he's here too, he went south from here" said Arsenal
"wait south?! that place still has robots in it! Even for a daredevil like him there are too many robots,"
"he didn't know"Jason said
"well we'd better get to him and fast, that place still has about two thousand strong, It's the only one besides the main base that's operational" said Ranger
"good to know..now let's regroup with Quill on the Milano"
"the who? on the what now?" Ranger asked
"our ship, Rocket's an intergalactic hero along with others like Gamora,Drax, Groot and Starlord"Jason said
"that's my little brother". Ranger smiled
