New Guy: Chapter One

It has been three months after the guardians have saved the land of Xandar from Ronan's evil plot. They are now located in the far lands of the planet Morag. Star-Lord and Gamora went out hunting while Rocket, Drax and Groot stayed behind to watch over Star-Lord's ship. Gamora is now killing off a giant space monster while Star-Lord, who is impressed, watches.

"And now for the big finish!" Gamora yelled, she then jumps on top of the monster's back and stabs it with her sword. The creature falls to the ground, dead.

"Wow" said an amazed Star-Lord, Gamora takes her sword out of the creature's back, and walks over to him.

"I see you're finally improving." he said to her, Gamora rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, and I see that you're still standing there." she says to him, Star-Lord laughs at that comment and the two start to head back to the ship.

"So, have things been good between you and Rocket?" he asks her, Gamora looks at him. Like she already knew that he was going to say that.

"Of course we've been good Peter, we're a team. And if a team doesn't work together than it's not a team at all." she replyed, Star-Lord knew what she meant and the two continued walking.

"So...you think we'll be able to find any fuel out here because the ship's running low-OH NO!" said Star-Lord before being interupted by by a herd of alien slugs. Gamora and Star-Lord pull out their weapons and stand beside each other to make sure they don't get harmed.

"Looks like a lot, you think we can take em'." asked Star-Lord, Gamora looks at him as she is drawing her sword. As the two continue to be circled by the slugs, a figure with rocket powered shoes flies into action. He is a tall man with a red motorcycle helmet on his head with a small razor-sharp knife in his hand.

"Well I see that you guys are in some trouble, well let me fix that. RRGH-AGH!" he said as he started to kill off all the slugs that circled the guardians. Few seconds later, all the slugs are dead. The man then turns around and takes his helmet off to reveal himself. He has dark brown hair and he only looks a few years younger than Star-Lord.

"Man, I saw that ya'll were in trouble and I just had to drop in." he said, Gamora and Star-Lord look at each, confused.

"The name's Gannon...Jaro Gannon." he said as he shook the two guardians' hands.

"Uh, well it's nice to meet you...Jaro. I'm Peter, but most people call me Star-Lord. And this is my partner, Gamora." introduced Star-Lord, Gamora gave Jaro a smile. Jaro smiles back at her in order to be polite.

"We'll it's nice to meet you both. So...you two from around here?" he asked them.

"Well actually we-" said Gamora before Star-Lord grabbed her shoulder and shook his head.

"Gamora, can I talk to you for a moment?" Star-Lord asks her, Gamora gives him a dirty look and the two move to the side to have their private conversation.

"Are you crazy?! We can't just tell this guy where we live!" Star-Lord whispered loudly, Gamora turns her head to Jaro and gives him another smile.

"What are you talking about? He seems like a really nice guy and I think we should take him with us. Plus he is really cute." she said to Star-Lord, he shakes his head in disagreement.

"Take him with us, cute, we don't even know this guy!" Star-Lord yelled loudly.
"Um...you know I'm standing right here?" Jaro said behind the two, Gamora and Star-Lord then turn around from hearing that.

"I'm so sorry Jaro, what Peter means is that we would be happy if you came with us." Gamora said to him, Star-Lord grabs her shoulder again after hearing her say that.

"Uh I think that she means no, we're...really busy and we don't have enough room to take you with us." he says, correcting her.

"No it's alright, I see that ya'll are busy." Jaro says to her, he then turns around and starts to leave. Gamora quickly runs in front of him to stop him from going.

"No really it fine! You should come with us." she begged.

"Uh no, you really shouldn't." added Star-Lord, the two guardians then begin to argue as Jaro still stands, not leaving like he previously was."

"So, what do you say?" asked Gamora as she had the chance to finally speak again as she was arguing with Star-Lord.

"Uh...alright. I guess I could go with you two." he said, Gamora jumped with joy after she had heard him say that.

"YES! Well, let's get going, I can't wait for our friends to meet you!" she said excitingly, Star-Lord rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, when they rip your face off." he said sarcastically.

"PETER!" yelled Gamora furiously before punching him hard in the shoulder. Star-Lord let out a cry of pain from the punch.

"What was that for?!" he yelled at her, Gamora turned her head back in a dismissive way.

"Oh I don't know, maybe because you're being a total JERK!" she said to him, she and Star-Lord then started another arguement as they were traveling back to the ship with their new friend. Or at least one of them thinks of him as a friend.
