Chapter 2: What in the Orb

26 years later...

On an abandoned planet named Morg, there was nothing but ruin, mountains, thunderstorms, and gazers, shooting out hot water. The Morag lands on the planet surface. Then two people in masks step out of the ship and walk along the way, the man pulls the woman close to him as he braces her against the wind as she held her hand out in front of her, blocking out the rain.

They then stop and look out at the open area that was in ruins. The man went to pull out his scanner, but the woman stops him, he looks at her as she pulls her arm back and touches the side of her helmet and scans the area herself and it should them how it was before ruin, it then showed them a path to the building, the woman took the man's hand and pulls him along, she follows along the red path as they saw there were once people as well, they step up the temple stairs as the scanner wet off and they step inside, they both looked around at the temple. The woman removes her hand from her partner's and then pulls her hood back and then presses the button behind her ear and her mask ripples away, her long black hair with red highlights drop that stops at her waist and she opens her forest green eyes, the marking on the side of her face grew to reach down her neck and under clothing and reveals all grown-up adult woman Ember Greystone.

Her partner presses the button behind his ear also and his mask pulls away and reveals Peter Quill, they looked at each other, Ember smirks and then pulls out her walkman and places her earphone one. Peter chuckles and pulls out his as well, they placed them on their belts and turns them on and then the music started to play, making them dance to it.

Hey (Hey)

what's the matter with your head head

Hey (Hey)

what's the matter with your mind and your sign and

an ohohoh

Peter kicks the water and spins as Ember slides in the puddle, Peter then took her hand and spins her around, she giggles and was out of the puddle.

Hey (Hey)

what's the matter with your head head

Hey (Hey)

what's the matter with your mind and your sign and

an ohohoh

Then the little ciders fight among themselves, but then notices Peter and Ember, they charged at them but were only kick out of the way.

Then one of them jumps at Peter, but he catches it and uses it as a mic, Ember just reels her head back and laughs as she swings her hips back and forth.

Hey (Hey)

nothin the matter with your head baby

find it, come on and find it

Hey

With it, baby cause you're fun and you're mine

and you look so divine.

They lip-sing to the song as they both spin, then Ember stops and looks at the skeleton that was on a stick, she pokes it, making it spun. She shrugs and slides next to Peter.

He catches her, dipping her for a second and then pulls her back up, as they both were dancing together.

Come and get your love

They then stop and look down at the gap in front of them as there were more creatures in the pit below. Peter uses his thrusters and flew across.

He then stops and looks at Ember as she crosses her arms at him, he smirks and shrugs at her. She smirks as well, uncrosses her arms then took a few steps backward, then ran forward and jumps.

She lands on her feet and stood up, Peter glares at her as she just shrugs at him, then spins around and did the Michael Jackson Moonwalk

Come and get

your love now

Come and get

your love now

They walk up to the locked door, then Ember pulls out her lock-pick, then picks at the lock. The door then opens and Ember places her pick away and looks at Peter. She smirks and then he pops his foot out and jesters her to go forward.

She rolls her eyes and walks into the room, he followed her, then pulls out a light orb, shook it and turns the light one. That lit up the room.

Come and get your love

The Song stops and they removed their headphone and turn off their walkman. Then Peter places the light down as Ember walks up to the little cell and looks at the orb inside. She places her hand up close to the energy bars that held it.

She knew that she couldn't get it out with her hand, then she looks back at her friend. "Pete," she calls out, he nods at her, then reaches into his pocket and tosses her the small gravity well. She catches it and places it down next to the cell, turning it on. The orb was then being pulled out from the cell forcibly.

Peter walks up next to her and they watch, hoping that it would work and after a few more seconds, it did and it lands right on the gravity well. Ember smirks and looks the orb from it, placing it in her satchel. "Let's go," Peter tells her, she nods at him and she stood up and they went to leave, but men came into the room, guns aimed at them. "Where is it?!" Korath orders them, "Whoa, hey." Peter states as Ember jumps a little. he then orders his men in a native tongue. "Where is it?!" he orders them again.

Ember didn't like his attitude, then she held up her finger "Look here boy, I am having a really good day right now, I am not having some warmonger ruined it for me." she growls at him and both he and his men were taken back, "The orb, give it to me." he order them again as he held out his hand, then Ember places her hands on her hips. "Ask nicely," she orders him with her arms crossed. Peter looks between her and Korath, who licks his lips as he looks around. "Please give me the orb," he asks in a nicer tone. "Better," she states, then reaches into her satchel and pulls the orb out, then places it on the ground and rolls it to him.

Korath then reaches down and picks it up and he looks at them, "How did you know about this?" he questions them. Ember glares at him, "We don't give out client information, not for free of course." she informs him, Peter shoves her shoulder a little and she smirks. "We don't know what that even is. we're just junkers, man. We were just checking stuff out." Peter answers him, as one of the men shoves their gun into Ember's shoulder. She shot him a glare and he back off. "You don't look like junkers. You're wearing Ravager grab." Korath growls at them. "It's just an outfit man." Peter informs him, "What, are you criticizing our style?" Ember questions him as the man pokes her again and she smacks the gun away, "Yo, ninja turtle, poke me with that gun again, I will rip your head off from your head, then rip it in two then I'll stuff them down your friends mouths!" she threatens him, and the back up.

Then Korath glares at them, "What are your names!" he shouts at them, "My name is Peter Quill and this is Ember Greystone, okay? Dude, chill out." Peter answers him. "Move!" he orders and turns to the door. "Why?" they ask him and Korath glares back at them, "Ronan may have some questions for you," he answers him, but Ember rolls her eyes at him, as she moves her foot back and slides the gravity well turns her. "Hey, there's another name you might know me by." Peter quickly spoke up as Ember tossed the gravity well up in her hand. Then Korath turns back to them, "Star-Lord." Peter said in a serious tone.

But they just looked at him, "Who?" Korath asks him and Ember snorts, covering her mouth, "Star-lord, man, Legendary outlaw and his partner in crime, Greystone the Legendary Thief." Peter states as he points to Ember, who also had a nickname. But Korath shrugs at him as he has no idea what Peter was talking about. "Guys," he asks the others as well, but they looked at each other and shrugs as well. "Move!" Korath orders again, but Peter sighs. "Listen, short, dark and ugly. I have no plans on getting captured or interrogated. So, fuck you, fuck your ninja turtles here and fuck Ronan." she informs him and then Peter kicks the energy ball at the men behind them, killing them, then Korath went to fire, but Ember took out Peter's gun and fires at him, this knocks him down and he lays then.

Ember smirks to herself then pull the gun back and blew on the barrel, she then twirls it and has it back to Peter as she stops the rolling orb with her foot. Peter places the gun away as she kneels down and picks it up. Then places it back in her satchel. But then Korath groans, the two looked at him as he stood up. "Oh shit," Ember mutters as he points his gun at her. But Peter came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her and they both fell backward and Peter lands on his back, they looked at each other than at the hole in the wall. "Mask!" Ember shouts as they both pressed behind their ears and their masks came back on. Then Peter uses his thrusters and they both went flying out of the building, across the way and then crashed to the ground.

They both grunted as they rolled and Ember ended up on top of Peter, they looked at each other and then heard Korath roaring, then Ember got up as well as Peter did and they both took off running, Korath jumps down from the hole in the wall and chases after them. They both look behind them and saw him, then turn back and saw more of his men were standing next to the Morag. The turn, noticing them and fire, but Ember rolls, dodging the blast then pulls out her gravity well and threw it at them, it lands in the center of them and they were all pulled in. Ember smirks as she pulls herself back up as Peter was running for the ship and she closed in behind him, then they step onto the body pile and then jumped.

They flew across the way and land on their ship and then the hatch opens and they slide inside, Peter fell to the floor as Ember lands on her feet and then ran to her seat, pulling her seat-belt on. She then turns her mask off as Peter pulls himself back up and did the same then pulls himself into his seat. "Powering the ship." Peter sates as Ember pulls up the shields. "Shields up," she informs him as the gravity well was loosed power and the men were free.

Then Korath ran to them, shouting at them as the scrambles to their feet. Peter then fires up the ship and Ember looks over at them as they were setting up a cannon. "Peter!" she shouts, he looks over at her and at them and saw the cannon, he pulls back as they fire and the ship reels its nose up into the air. Then pulls down and flew forward as they dodge the cannon blast. Peter laughs in victory as they were flying away, but as he turns a gazer suddenly shot up under them, hitting the ship, making them jerk as the ship short-circuits was set up into the air, then back down, making Peter press against the glass. Ember just jerked as the seat-belt held her in place. Then he went flying back and Ember reaches for the buckle, freeing herself as she pulled out of the seat, but she held onto the arm, then looks over at the next seat and reaches out. She then jumps over, grabbing on the seat and reaches for the handle. Peter was being flung around in the air, crying out. She then growls and shot forward, gripping the handle and pulls it, turning the engine back on.

The ship stops right in the air, Peter smacks against the ground, Ember was jerked back and lands in front of him, smacking against the ground and groans as she rolls on her side, Peter pulls himself up and leans against the wall, panting. Ember slowly pulls herself up, panting as well. Then she locks eyes with Peter and they both started to laugh. Thinking what they just did was crazy. "Peter." a woman calls out, they both stop laughing and look over at the hatch that leads down to their rooms and a pink woman wearing a shirt and had messy hair pulls herself up, panting. "What happened?" she asks her. Peter just looks at her and points. "Hey, Um...I... Um..." he states, snapping his fingers trying to remember her name. Ember shook her head at him "Bereet. You brought her here the other night." she reminds him. He shot his head at her, with his finger pointed at her. "Bereet, right. Look, I am totally going, to be honest with you. I forgot you're even here." he informs her.

She looks at him in disbelief, as Ember crawls up to him and smacks him upside the head. He looks at her and shrugs, she frowns at him and sat back on her legs then looks at Bereet, seeing the shirt she was wearing. Then crosses her arms and glares back at Peter. "Is that my shirt, she's wearing?" she questions him. And he gave her a shrug with a nervous smile.

The Morag flew out of the planet's atmosphere as the sun was coming up. Rock music was paining on the stereo. Ember sat at the table next to Bereet as she was upgrading her blasters, tinkering with her weapons to make them more effective in battle and sharping her blades. Bereet just watches her as she was dressed and sipping on her tea. Peter was standing in front of the Hologram as it was showing the news. "Scatter riots broke out across the Kree Empire today protesting the recent peace treaty signed by the Kree Emperor and Xandar's Nova Prime." the reporter states.

Ember scoffs to herself then sets her tool down and aims her blaster, checking the man, then the phone went off, beeping and Bereet looks down at it. "Peter, you have called," she tells him, setting down her cup. Ember looks over, setting her blaster down and looks at her, she smirks at the caller and looks at Peter as he knows who it was. "No, wait don't," he tells her, but she answers it as Ember stood up and went back in her chair, back to work.

Then Yondu was on the screen. "Quill, Greystone?" he calls out to them, Bereet realizes her mistake and gave him the 'I'm sorry.' look. Peter just exhales as Ember smirks. "Hey, Yondu." they both answer him as Peter turns to him and Ember kept her eyes on her gun she was upgrading. "I'm here on Morag. ain't no orb, ain't no you or your little girlfriend." he tells them and Ember looks up at him, "Not his girlfriend." she reminds him for the millionth time. "Well, we were in the neighborhood. I thought we'd save you the hassle." Peter answers him. "Well, where you at now, boy?" Yondu questions him, then Ember stood up. "You know Yondu, I feel so bad about them, I really do, but..." she states as she walks over and stood next to Peter. "We're not going to tell you," she informs him, leaning back against the table with her hands folded in front of her.

Peter looks at her and smirks. Then looks back at Yondu and shrugs. "I slaved putting this together." Yondu informs them, "Slaved?" they both questions him. "You made a few calls, Yondu. Five calls." Ember reminds him, "You really didn't slave, I mean really?" Peter states. "And now you two are going to rip me off!" Yondu shouts over them as Bereet was getting uncomfortable "We do not that to each other. We're Ravengers. We got a code." Yondu reminds them. The two exchanged looks. "Code, the whole, steal from the rich and steal from the poor. Wonderful, by the way." Ember said in a sarcastic tone. "In simple terms, steal from everybody." Peter states as Ember walks back to her spot and works on her sword with the new upgrade. "When I pick up and Greystone up on Terra." Yondu states and Ember rolls her eyes at him, "Pick us up." Peter mutters and looks back at Ember, she looks at him as he points over at Yondu with the whole, 'This guy.' look and she just rolls her eyes with the 'I know. Every-time.' look in her eyes and the shook of her head.

She places the charge inside her blade. "These boys of mine wanted to eat you." Yondu said to them as Ember mimics him. "Yeah?" Peter growls at him. "They ain't never tasted any Terran before." he states then Ember stood up again, "They ain't never tasted any Terran before." she mocks him, they looked at her, Bereet tries not to laugh, Peter bit back his laughter as she stood next to him "I stopped them, you're alive because of me." she went on and then rolls her head back, groaning loudly. "You ever so remind us every second of every day," she states and then looks back at him and pushes herself from the table. "Just because you took us, doesn't mean we're your goddamn slaves." she reminds him as well. "I will find you both, I will..." he states, but she smirks at him. "Bye Yondu," she tells him and hung up. Peter looks at her as she walks back to her spot again. He smirks and leans against the table as she was working on her gun.

He then inhales, "You know..." he states and she looks up at him. "I can't help but think you enjoy pissing him off," he states and she smirks. "How else am I going to get a reaction out of him," she answers, Peter just laughs as she smiles and went back to tinkering.

~8~8~8~

The second Ember hung up on Yondu, her growls as he swipes the screen away, "Put a bounty on them." he orders his men, "Forty K for each one. But I want them brought back alive." he states, as he grips Krablgen's arm "Yeah, Cap'n." he answers him.

Then they walk down the steps. "Alive?!" Taserface shouts at him, "That's what I said." Yondu informs him. "I told you when you pick those kids up we should have delivered the boy like we were hired to do and sell the girl for some extra cred! They were cargo!" Taserface shouts at Yondu as he was getting on his last nerve "You've been soft on them." he taunts and Yondu turns and shoves him back, "You're the only one I've been soft on!" he shouts at him and then pulls back his coat to reveal his arrow. Making Taserface looks down at it.

Then he and the others dare not question him, "Now, don't you worry about Mr. Quill or Ms. Greystone. As soon as we get them back here, I'm gonna kill them myself." Yondu states as he lets his coat go and then steps away from them as the men were looking among themselves. "What we do need to worry about," he states and looks back at them. "Is who else out there wants that orb."
