Chapter 1: The beginning of this story had been re-edited, as well as chapter 2 and has been broken up into two chapters as opposed to one.

Chapter 1

On the abandoned planet of Morag, two figures came off the small M-ship that had landed on the barren planet's surface. Two men, one short and tall approached an orb that was heavily guarded by an unknown source. However, the shorter of the two men just stood by as the taller one took his strange device. They were watching the old memories of what appeared to be a girl playing with her dog. Also, there had been several workers there walking about in the old memory. The taller of the two men pinpointed where the object they were looking for was at. The taller man wanted to get it. Whatever it was, they wanted it very bad. It was mostly because the taller figure wanted to get the job done for his adoptive father, Yondu Udonta. However, the shorter one of the two wanted to do it for the adventure. As the two approached the cave nearby, the taller man's helmet dissolved, revealing to be an older Peter Quill. The shorter man of the two took down the hood of his own jacket.

"I hope you know what we're doing, Peter," said the shorter figure.

"Of course, I know what I'm doing, Bilbo," Peter said.

He fixed his red leather jacket that reached down to his heels. Bilbo was also fixing the hood of the Ravenger jacket he was also wearing, and had on his green vest on and short reddish-brown leggings. Bilbo watched as Peter put on his headphones and listened to the tape his mom had given him, an Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape. Bilbo watched as he danced around crazy around the ruined room, rolling his eyes. Peter was also dancing around and holding rat like alien creatures, singing to the tape.

"Here, Bilbo, get on my back,"

"Why? I'm up to your shoulder," Bilbo said.

"So, I've carried heavier things," Peter said, with the headphones still on his ears. He let Bilbo climb onto his back as he floated over the chasm. The duo continued walking to where the orb was at. Peter took his device from earlier, trying to summon the Orb himself. Bilbo watched with his arms crossed as the Orb came to Peter's hand.

"Drop it!" shouted a dark-skinned man. Both the figures looked back. These figures were Bilbo Baggins, and Peter Quill (aka Star Lord).

"Uh...hey," Peter said, and was pushing Bilbo behind him. Recently, Peter and Bilbo had found each other nearly four months ago, and had become friends over the course of one of their adventures. Yondu knew of Bilbo's existence, but didn't know that the Hobbit was involved with Quill's schemes.

"Drop it, now!" Korath said.

"Hey, cool, man. No problem. No problem at all. " Peter said and dropped it on the ground.

"How do you know about this?"

" I don't even know what that is. We're just junkers, man, I was just checking stuff out."

" You two don't look like a junker. You're wearing Ravager garb! And your friend there," Korath said, looking at Bilbo's blue coat, brown pants and reaching up to Quill's shoulder. "No idea what he's garbed in."

"This is just an outfit, man," Quill said. "Ninja Turtle, you better stop poking me."

"What are your names?!" Korath shouted.

"I'm Peter Quill, and this is Bilbo, okay?" Peter said. "Dude, chill out."

"Move!" Korath yelled.

"Why?" Bilbo asked.

"Ronan may have questions for you," Korath said.

"Hey, you know what? There's another name you might know him by," Bilbo said. [Korath stops and turns back to look at Peter.

"Star-Lord." Peter said.

"Who?" Korath asked.

"Star-Lord, man. Legendary outlaw," Peter said.

"Move!" Korath shouted.

"Oh, forget this, Bilbo," Peter said and grabbed his guns, shooting at Korath and his henchmen. He grabbed onto Bilbo and picked up the orb Korath had dropped. He took his own gun as Korath opened up the cave with a shot.

"Oh, would you look at that," Bilbo said. Both he and Quill flew out with boots of Peter becoming rockets. They finally got onto the ship, both catching their breaths.

"Peter, we're going up!" Bilbo shouted and got to the seat and drove the Milano named after a woman named Alyssa Milano, also a woman that Peter had a crush on. Later, Bilbo and Peter were watching the news.

"Scattered riots broke out across the Kree Empire today protesting the recent peace treaty signed by the Kree Emperor and Xandar's Nova Prime," said the reporter. Suddenly, Bilbo accidentally touched the call screen. Peter quickly hid bilbo underneath the desk and put a finger on his mouth, causing Bilbo to go immediately silent.

"Quill?" said Yondu.

"Hey, Yondu." Peter said, but it was mutual as Yondu's ungrateful tone.

"I'm here on Morag," Yondu said. "Ain't no Orb, ain't no you."

"Well, I was in the neighborhood. I thought I'd save you the hassle," Peter said.

"Well, where are you at now, boy?"

"I feel really bad about this, but I'm not gonna tell you that."

"I slaved putting this deal together..."

"Slaved? Making a few calls is 'slaved'?"

"And now you're gonna rip me off!"

"I mean, really?"

"We do not do that to each other. We're Ravagers, we got a code."

"Yeah, and that code is "steal from everybody."

"When I picked you up on Terra, these boys of mine wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted any Terran before. I stopped 'em. You're alive because of me! And so is that hobbit friend of yours! I will find you, I will..."

Peter didn't want to hear any more of what that man had to say and shut off the transmitter.

"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Bilbo asked unsure.

"Well whatever the consequences are, Bilbo, I'll happily pay them." Peter said, looking at the screen and then at Bilbo. "We'll be at Xandar in a few minutes."

Peter got up and walked into the next room. Bilbo wasn't sure that was a very good idea.

Meanwhile, Yondu Udonta and his league of Ravengers on the planet of Morag, was infuriated by that boy's insolence. Immediately, Yondu turned with more of a burning glare coming from his red eyes.

"Put a bounty on him! Forty K," Yondu said to his second-in-command, Kraglin. "But I want him back alive."

"Yeah, Cap," Kraglin answered.

"Alive?" shouted the outraged Ravenger Horuz.

"That's what I said." Yondu answered.

"I told you when you picked that kid up, you should have delivered him like we was hired to do!" shouted Horuz. "He was cargo!"

"You have always been soft on him," Horuz shouted. Yondu was pissed and looked Horuz in the eyes while grabbing onto the front of his leather trench coat.

"You're the only one I'm being soft on!" Yondu shouted. "Now, don't you worry about Mr. Quill. As soon as we get him back here, I'm gonna kill him myself. And that hobbit is with him, Mr. Bilbo will regret the day he was born. What we do need to worry about is who else out there wants that Orb!

"They call me 'terrorist,' 'radical,' 'zealot,' because I obey the ancient laws of my people," said a very dark and sinister voice. A blue man tall is talking, with his red eyes masked with a dark mask. He also had a hammer in hand. "The Kree, and punish those who do not. Because I do not forgive your people for taking the life of my father, and his father, and his father before him. A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten!"

" You can't do this!" said a Xandarian prisoner. "Our government signed a peace treaty."

"My government knows no shame. You Xandarians and your culture are a disease."

" You will never rule Xandar."

" No. I will cure it!" yelled Ronan. He hit the prisoner's head, killing him in the process. Suddenly a woman with several prosthetics and blue skin entered the room. This was Nebula, one of the adopted daughters of the Mad Titan Thanos.

"Ronan, Korath has returned," Nebula said

Line division

"Master, he is a thief, an outlaw who calls himself Star-Lord and there was this weird creature with big furry feet with nothing covering him," Korath reported to his master. "But we have discovered they have an agreement to retrieve the orb for an intermediary known as The Broker."

"I promised Thanos I would retrieve the orb for him." Ronan said. "Only then will he destroy Xandar for me. Nebula, go to Xandar and get me the orb."

"It will be my honor." Nebula said.

"It will be your doom." Said a voice. From afar a woman with black/purple tied up and green skin emerged out of the darkness. Her name was Gamora. She approached her sister. "If this happens again, you'll be facing our father without his prize."

"I'm a daughter of Thanos, just like you." Nebula sneered at her sister.

"But I know Xandar." Gamora snapped.

"Ronan has already decreed that I..." Nebula began to attack back.

"Do not speak for me," Ronan said. He looked at Thanos' favored daughter. "You will not fail."

"Have I ever?" Gamora inquired.
