Here's another Guardians of the Galaxy story. This'll be a mostly GamoraxOC story but there will be slight Star-LordxOC. My characters are Jason and Emily Payne, brother and sister and the deadliest bounty hunters in the universe, feared by all criminals. This idea for a story was inspired by Bladewolf101's story, Deadstroke and the Guardians of the Galaxy, so thank you. Also there is already a character with Jason's outlaw name so I do not own it.
I own only my original characters, nothing else.
It was a normal day for Jason and Emily Payne. They were simply flying around from planet to planet in their ship, the Shadow, in search of bounties worth their time, (their ship looks like a mix of the Milano and a quinjet).
Jason was tall, about six feet, strong build, short brown hair and beard. His armor was light, yet very strong, and he wore a hooded trench coat over it as well, (he looks like Reaper from Overwatch). He also has dual swords and pistols, (swords look like the one from this site: https/ah-kai./art/Sci-fi-Sword-7-487171078, and the pistols look like the one from this site: https/trends/men-in-black-iii-replica-gun).
Emily is a few inches shorter than her brother, and is a few years younger. (She looks like Shae Vizla from the Deceived trailer of the Old Republic, But with violet eyes and black hair).
Together they were the most dangerous bounty hunters in the universe, the Painmakers.
Then a buzzing started going off.
"We've got a call," Emily said, then answered and they saw an old man, blue in color with a flat fin on his head.
"Yondu Udonta," Jason said. "How can we help you?"
"Got a bounty for you," he said. "40k for Peter Quill, alive and with an orb he's got with him."
"Make it 40k each and you've got a deal."
"...Fine. 40,000 units for each of you. But only if he's alive."
"Yeah, yeah. We'll bring handsome back alive," Emily said, saying the handsome part cause she's always had a crush on the Terran. "Just tell us how to find him."
"He'll be heading to Xandar," he answered then Jason nodded and ended the call, just as he was about to say something else.
"The Broker," Jason deduced. "I know where his shop is, let's get going."
She nodded and they both started piloting towards Xandar.
"Gonna be okay when we get the music man?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
He gave her a look and she frowned then.
"Shut up!"
He laughed continued to pilot the ship towards the Nova homeworld.
A few hours later they found themselves on Xandar, waiting for Quill, unaware that two other bounty hunters were watching them.
"Uh oh, Groot, look what we've got," a little raccoon said to his walking tree friend. He placed his tablet like screen in the direction of the Painmakers.
NAMES: Jason and Emily Payne.
Alias: Jason: The Reaper, Emily: The Death Watcher. Both: The Painmakers
OCCUPATION: Assassins, mercenaries, and bounty hunters.
WANTED: 10,000,000 units each.
WARNING: If either are seen, ALERT AUTHORITIES.
BOTH ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
"Holy shit!," he said. "Let's try to avoid those guys, agreed?"
"I am Groot," he said, figuring out what he was talking about then he saw Emily. "I am Groot."
"Somehow I doubt she'd be interested in you. Now let's go get that 40,000 units bounty."
Jason then saw something that made his heart skip a beat. A drop dead gorgeous woman stood leaning on a wall near the Broker's shop. She had black hair and green skin but then he recognized her.
"Sis," he said, behind his skull mask. "That's Gamora."
"Oh boy," she said then they saw Quill being pushed out of the shop.
"Hey! I thought we had a deal!," he yelled as the siblings moved closer.
"What happened?," Gamora asked.
"...This guy just backed out...on a..."
He trailed off when he saw Jason and Emily coming. He tried to make a run for it when Gamora kicked him in the gut and grabbed the orb.
"Grab Quill! I'll get the orb," Jason yelled then Emily shot a net towards Peter.
"Hey Emily," he said as she walked up to him.
"Hey, cutie," she said but then he shot her with his pistol and shot the net then flew off.
Jason quickly caught up with Gamora and tackled her down. She spun and got out her sword.
"Sorry, but you're in my way," she said. He then got our one of his own swords, and blocked her stab.
"Nice try, beautiful," he said then pushed her off him and then he got up and shot a electric shot at her. It caused her to let go of the orb, which he grabbed. "I'll take this."
He then walked away calmly but she had gotten up and he ran.
He soon caught up with his sister, then Peter jumped on him.
"This is mine!," he said, grabbing the orb from him, then Gamora got on him.
"This wasn't the plan," she said. Just as she was about to stab him, vines grabbed hold of her.
"What the-?!," Emily said. Then the raccoon jumped on Jason to keep him distracted.
"Hey! Grab him, not her! Learn genders, man!," he yelled at the tree as Gamora got loose and then Peter was able grab the orb and fly away little, Gamora chasing him.
"Get...off me!," Jason yelled pulling the rodent off him, then getting out a pistol. "Stay out of our way! We've got 80k on this bounty."
"It's 40k."
"40 for each of us," Emily said.
"I am Groot," Groot said.
"Hmm...alright then, as long a we get some money," Jason said, completely understanding him. They all then ran after Peter who had his back turned on them. Groot then got I'm in the bag he had and he carried him over his shoulder smiling.
"Stop smiling, you're supposed to be a professional," the raccoon said then Gamora came. "You've gotta be kidding."
She pushed him aside then kicked Emily away and Jason got out his swords. He swung at her and she blocked it, then she used the handle of her sword to hit him on the side of the head.
"Ow...lucky hit," he said going down then she began chopping off Groot's arms and he dropped Quill, who got out of the bag and shocked her with his pistol. With the orb in hand, Jason watched as he made a run for it. He saw his sister was still out since she got kicked in the face, so he grabbed a gun off her person and it transformed into a larger one that shot powerful tasers. "I live for the simple things. Like how much this is gonna hurt you."
He then fired it and Peter yelled in pain from the electrocution.
"Haha...yeah, writhe little man," the raccoon said, then he saw Groot complaining about his arms. "They'll grow back, you vast idiot. Now let's go get that bounty."
Just then the Nova Corp arrived with suspension fields around them.
"Subject 89P13 and Jason Payne, drop your weapons," the officer ordered.
"Fuck," Jason said and he and the raccoon dropped their weapons.
"By the authority of the Nova Corp, for endangering life and the destruction of public property, you are under arrest."
"Fascists," the rodent grumbled as he, Jason, Groot and an unconscious Gamora and Emily were lifted into the air as Peter was hauled away.
Nova Corp Headquarters
"We just arrested these six for destruction of public property and assault, check out the rap sheets," a Nova Corp officer said, first bringing up green skinned. "Gamora. The adoptive daughter of the Mad Titan Thanos. We've recently learned that Thanos loaned Gamora and her sister, Nebula out to Ronan the Accuser. This has led us to believe that they're working together. She's wanted for over a dozen murders and assaults."
Then he brought up the raccoon.
"Subject 89P13, calls itself Rocket. Subject to illegal experimentation on a lower life form. Wanted for many accounts of sabotage, assault and mayhem."
He then showed Groot.
"What the hell?," the other officer said.
"They call it Groot," the first officer explained. "He's been traveling with Subject 89P13 as his personal house plant/ muscle."
"Peter Jason Quill, from Terra. He's also known as Star-Lord."
"Who calls him that?"
"Himself mostly. He's wanted mostly for accounts of theft, assault and fraud," he said as said flipped them off.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't know how this machine worked."
They shook their heads and continued.
"Emily Payne, the Death Watcher. Wanted for a massive number of accounts of murder, contract killing, assault and theft. The number of people she has killed numbers in the hundreds, that's only the ones we know about."
"I aim to impress," she said then they finally came to her brother.
"Jason Payne," the other officer said.
"Yes, sir. The Reaper. A former member of Stakar Ogord's Ravager faction, until he went rogue and then he and his younger sister became the two most dangerous bounty hunters in the universe. But Jason is the real criminal. He has a rap sheet as tall as this building. He and Emily have been alive for a very long time, a few centuries by our count. Their people seem to live a very long time."
"What crimes has he committed?"
"Innumerable. Contract killing, piracy, theft, kidnapping, murder, torture and many more. Also a notorious war criminal in many systems."
"Can't help myself sometimes," Jason said with a grin. "It's just so fun to kill for money. But rest assured, I have never killed a cop...yet."
"What a bunch of aholes," the other officer said. "Have them all sent to the Kyln. And I want the guards on the Painmakers tripled."
Once this was said, the prisoners were moved to a transport that would send them to prison.
"So no hard feelings, right Peter?," Emily asked.
"Yeah, no hard feelings," he said. "It's been a while since I've seen you guys."
"We've been busy," Jason said.
"So I've heard," Gamora said. "So you're the Painmakers?"
They both nodded and she gave a cold look.
"How could you bring your little sister into all of this?"
"I brought myself into all of this, missy! And if it's an consolation, my brother did try to stop me."
"I am Groot," Groot said and Emily shrugged.
"It'll be fun to be back at the Kyln," Jason said.
"Yeah, you're right. I wonder if Miko is still there," Emily said.
"You're both batshit crazy," Peter said.
"Well it's what you like about us. Well it's what you like about my sister."
He blushed slightly and so did she when he said this.
The Kyln
"Now I know most Nova Corp men want to help people and keep the galaxy safe," Rocket began. "But not these Kyln guards. They are corrupt and cruel. Not that it matters for me. I've escaped 22 prisons, this ones no different."
"Amateur," Emily said. "We've escaped 57 prisons."
"Is there a contest or something?"
"Everything is a contest."
"You're lucky hotstuff over there showed up, Space-Man," Jason said and Gamora blushed wildly at the comment of her being hot. "Otherwise you'd be dead by now. You should thank her."
"I've had a lot of people try kill me my whole life," he said. "I'm not about to be brought down by two psychopath siblings, a tree and a talking raccoon."
"What's a raccoon?," Rocket asked.
"What's a raccoon? It's what you are, stupid."
"Ain't no thing like me, 'cept me."
"Anyway, this orb seems to have a shiny blue suitcase, Ark of the Covenant, Maltese Falcon sort of vibe, what is it?"
"I am Groot," Groot said.
"So what?"
"I have no words for an honorless thief," she said coldly.
"Pretty high and mighty coming from the lackey of a genocidal maniac," Emily said, which shocked her.
"Yeah, sweetheart, we know who you are," Jason said. "Anyone who's anyone knows who you are."
"Yeah, we know who you are?," Quill said. "Who is she?"
"I am Groot."
"Ya said that."
"She's Gamora," Emily answered.
"Oh."
"Anyway," Gamora said. "I wasn't retrieving the stone for Ronan, I was betraying him. I had a deal to sell to a third party."
"I am Groot."
"That's as fascinating as the first 95 times you've said that!," Quill yelled. "God, what is with Giving Tree here?!"
"Well he don't know words like me and you," Rocket explained. "So his vocabulistics are limited to 'I' and 'am' and 'Groot.' Exclusively in that order."
"Well let me tell ya, that's gonna get old really fast-."
"What is that?," Jason asked then he turned to see a guard trying on Peter's Walkman headphones.
"Hey!," Peter yelled. "Take those headphones off! Right now!"
The guard's answer was tasering him.
Later on, after they were cleaned and given new clothes, Jason and Emily walked behind everyone. Then a guard used his baton to smack Emily right in the butt.
"Keep moving, bitch," he said, and the other guards grimaced. Jason then took his baton, and smashed his face in.
"Sorry, Mr. Payne," one of the other guards said as another grabbed him and dragged him to the infirmary. "He's new here."
"I know. That's why he's still alive. No one does stuff like that to my little sister. Remember that."
Emily smiled at this, happy to know she has such a loving and protective big brother.
"Thanks," she said.
"No problem."
They then walked in to see the others weren't getting the best welcome. The prisoners were shrieking angrily at Gamora mainly, as many of their families had been killed by Ronan and his men.
The ones who saw the Painmakers come in instantly shut up, the others didn't.
"EVERYBODY...SHUT THE HELL UP!," Jason screamed, and they all did so, shocking Gamora and the others.
"The two is have been around for centuries," Emily said. "We've put many of these guys in here, and we've earned quite the reputation. Fear is a great motivator."
"Now I know who she is! But if anyone touches her, you'll be dealing with me and my sister! Got that?!"
"Y-Yes, Mr. Payne," one prisoner said, he was pink in color and weasel like. Jason and Emily then tossed him their bedsheets.
"Hold those for us," Jason said and he nodded. All the prisoners had a look of fear on their faces, all except one. A large, green man with red tattooing all over his body. He watched them with hateful eyes and plotted to kill Gamora.
"You didn't have to do that," Gamora said. "I can take care of myself."
"I never said you couldn't. I just wanted to do that."
"Why?"
"Because I think you are a very beautiful woman," he answered and she blushed again. "I'm guessing not many people have told you that, huh?"
"Not really, no," she said.
"Check our the new meat," one huge blue prisoner said, talking about Quill. "I'm gonna slather you in Gunavian jelly and go to-."
He was then stopped by two vines going up his nose, and Groot lifted him up in the air.
"You all listen to me now!!," Rocket yelled. "This one here is our booty!! You wanna get to him, you go through us!! Or, more accurately, we go through you!!!"
Groot then let the prisoner go, with his nose bleeding profusely. Groot and Rocket then walked away, Quill slowly following.
"I'm with them!," he said, walking away then.
"And they're all with us!," Emily yelled.
Then Gamora walked away as well.
"Emily," Jason said and he turned to him. "Stay with her."
"Want to keep your girlfriend safe, huh?," she teased.
"Oh, I see what you're doing. Start spreading rumors and I'll tell Quill."
"I won't! I won't!"
"Good girl. Stay with Gamora so no one hurts her. She said she was gonna sell the orb to a third party, I want to know who and for how much. She'll never tell you if you try to force it out, so we'll have to be patient."
She nodded and caught up to Gamora.
"You my bodyguard?," she asked.
"Who better to protect the most hated prisoner in the Kyln that the its queen? Here...my brother and I are treated like royalty."
"Through fear."
"It's the only thing these people will react to," she said as they sat in a private cell. Prisoners began to yelled and threaten her again, then Emily looked at them and they backed off.
Jason then began to walk over and find Quill and the others, but soon he felt some eyes on him. He turned to see the man from before watching him.
'Drax the Destroyer...,' he thought to himself. 'This is gonna be fun.'
Hope you liked this. As you can see, Jason and Emily are feared by every criminal in the galaxy. Sorry if this sounds something like your story Bladewolf101, that wasn't my intention, it was an inspiration. Anyway I'll have the escape in the next one. See ya later.
