The Milano landed on Mandila's surface "ok guys, we're moving out to see what we can find Jay stay here in case we need a speedy get away" Quill said "sure" Jay responded when Rocket piped up and asked "say…where's Lylla"
"oh she's in you room getting ready"Quill responded and Ranger along with his younger brother Rocket went right over and found Lylla searching for something "looking for something Ly?" Rocket asked and Lylla looked back and nodded "yeah..my staff, have you seen it?"
Rocket thought about it for a while and snapped his fingers and he reached into his belt "yeah, it's with me remember?" Rocket said as he gave the staff to Lylla, "thanks" she said as she kissed him, Rocket felt her smile as she did. The Guardians moved out into Mandila, "why do I get the feeling something ain't right here?" Jason said in which Rocket responds with "nothing ever is Jase"
The group kept on walking for some time when Groot started to loose balance "whoa there bud careful!" Quill exclaimed when a voice rang out from nowhere "hehehehe...Mandila like to play" everyone froze and stayed silent when Lylla broke it to ask "did anyone else here that...?" obviously creeped out.
"Yup" Gamora confirmed when they heard more laughter and the ground shaking "the planet is...ALIVE!" Drax exclaimed in shock "LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" Quill shouted as the team tried to run back to the Milano, then Mandila spoke again "aw...stay and PLAY!" the Guardians were almost nearing the Milano when Rocket stopped and clutched his head in pain, he fell on his knees screaming "ROCKET! WHAT'S WRONG!" Lylla exclaimed in worry as she ran to his side, in a few moments she too was doing the same too, then Ranger,then Blackjack,then the rest of the Guardians too except Quill who was staring in horror as his team suffered, moments later Rocket stopped screaming.
He looked around "where am I?" he said then he looked at Lylla and was shocked to see her here "LY! are you doing here?" This was odd for Quill to hear so he addressed it "she came with us remember Rocket", Rocket looked at Quill with a raised eyebrow "do I know you?"
"Dude! I'm star-lord remember" Quill exclaimed, grasping the situation slightly "who?" Rocket said as he turned his attention to Lylla "Rocket?..where are we?" she said "well this ain't Half-world" Rocket said.
Then Gamora woke up "oh good Gamora" Quill said in relief as he saw her rise ,but when Gamora looked at Quill and she saw was a ravanger, "I'm going to kill you FOR RONIN!" she shouted, she charged at Quill with her sword "RONIN?!" Quill said in confusion as he dodged the blade when he realised what Mandila was doing
"Gamora listen to me this is the OLD you this planet's messing with everyone's mind" Gamora's face twisted as she screamed "LIAR!" she was about to strike when her sword hand was grabbed by Drax's hand "finally a worthy opponent for me to face off in the arena!" Drax laughed as he threw Gamora to a nearby tree,shattering it in the process. Quill was helpless to do anything but watch, then smoke bombs fell near Drax and Gamora and Red Hood was visible on the tree top nearby "finally...Red Hood" Quill...but even he too was affected by the planet's influence "who's Red Hood? I'm Robin!" Jason smirked as he threw two batarangs at Drax and Gamora disarming them, he then glided down and gave each a flying dragon kick to the face. With Drax and Gamora were taken down Hood turned his attention to Quill "you look like you could some help"
"yeah I could,my whole team just forgot their my team...that goes for you too" Quill said "prove it" Jason said "alright...Jason Todd" Quill smiled. Jason blinked once and then twice before responding with a shrug "ok fine you got me...and say aren't you Starlord?"
"Yup and your hero Rocket is right there" Quill said as he pointed to the left "cool!" Jason exclaimed with a large grin as he hand cuffed Drax and Gamora. Meanwhile with Rocket... he was trying to figure out where he was with Lylla, Blackjack showed up from behind "oh Rocket...missed me?", Rocket turned around and raised an eyebrow and Lylla turned to ask "Blackjack? Do..you know where we are? I mean, wasn't your unit just deployed?" she asked
"Yeah...but how'd we end up here?" Blackjack asked and Rocket shrugged, observing all of this he grew annoyed "Alright that's ENOUGH!" Quill shouted as he blasted everyone with water and froze the ground with ice 'if contact with the surface makes them like this then I'll make my own surface' Quill thought as ice formed one the ground. He was right, once the Ground was covered with ice everyone stopped fighting and suddenly looked very confused.
"what happened..." Rocket asked "I...I..don't know" Lylla responded and Gamora and Drax were wondering why they were in shackles. "Mind telling us what happened?" Jason asked "It's the planet's surface..It makes you act like your younger self and the planet can use that to manipulate you as it sees fit" Quill said"If that's the case then we'll never get outta here fast enough" Ranger said
"yeah..if this planet's surface touches you you..well..." Quill said as he contacted Jay "need a get away?"
"yeah and FAST" Quill said and in a second all of them were back on the Milano, "well...what went wrong?" Jay asked, Quill explained everything and Jay listened "a psychic attack eh?...I might know just the guy that could help" Jay said, from Quill's knowledge of comics and Jason experience the both of them realised who he was talking about "NOT HIM!" the two of em said in sync.
"Jason you know he's the only one that can help us,besides just activate the field" Jay whispered as he didn't want the others to know, "fine...since he's harmless enough without his speed" Jason said as he activated the force field, a minute later Jay showed up with another man that looked a lot like him "we should probably wait for Rocket and Lylla before we start" Jay said "good idea" Drax said "but first mind introducing us to your friend here" Gamora said "guys and girls this is Hunter Zolomon, he's an expert on avoiding and building devices that help avoid psychic attacks"
"pleasure to meet you" Hunter smiled "nice guy" said Gamora who was unaware that she was talking to Zoom. "GUY'S WE GOT A BIG PROBLEM! ZOOM'S MISSING!" Ranger exclaimed in shock, then Hunter sighed "wait a second...Zoom goes missing and Hunter shows up..which mean that!" Rocket said in shock "yup...I'm Zoom" Hunter said "you sure about that Rocket cause he sounds nothing like Zoom" Gamora said,then Hunter used the speed force to deepen his voice "do I sound familiar now?"
"OK THAT'S ZOOM!" Gamora said as she withdrew her sword "what gives Jay?" Rocket asked , before Jay could answer Zoom made his voice normal again and spoke "Jay told me about your little problem on this world, he came to me because I'm an expert in avoiding and building devices that help avoid psychic attacks, and from the looks of it Mandila wasn't taking any chances" said Hunter "we'll need all the help we can get" jay said "besides..I'm not all that bad" Hunter said "let's hope so..."Rocket growled in caution
"well without my speed I cant really work that fast so I'll need help...Rocket I need you and Groot you're a great multi-tasker and I'll need Jay as well"
"Sure well help" jay said as the team moved downstairs and went right to work on the devices.
OK guys so I'm going to take a short break from this story and work on a short Rocket Raccoon story called How It all began..now I was kinda saving that for until after season 2 which is basically after 2 more stories in this season since each season has 4 stories. And I plan to do 3 seasons, however in the middle I plan to do a few short stories about how the team end up after Season 2 WHICH IS GOING TO BE ABOUT TOTAL AND UTTER WAR! :). But I'm doing the Rocket story now since well...I REALLY can't help myself :)
