This is now my most popular story yet so thank you guys for reading and happy 4th of July weekend. It's hard to believe that I've been on this site for a year and look how things turned out. This and my other stories will go on hiatus because I need to finish up one of them and help write up another crossover with another author.

I'm also getting sick of calling Deoxys an it or the being so I'm just gonna have it established in the next chapter.


Chapter 3: Lunchtime

It floated along with Peter as they made their way to the cafeteria. It was an huge room with tables surrounding a tower where two guards sat behind a control panel. Prisoners were either eating, chatting in groups, or getting in fights in which guards came in and broke it up. It was amazed at the sight but a prisoner bumped into its shoulder bringing it back to reality. "So, what's your name?" asked Peter.

The being shrugged its shoulders as they made their way to a table. "No name huh, well if that's the case then I'm just gonna call you Bob for now." It tilted its head in confusion. "Yeah not really the best but unless someone comes up with something better, you're going to be called Bob and you're gonna like it."

A purple skinned alien with a large black mohawk sat on a table drinking soup from a metal bowl using a metal spoon. Peter and "Bob" sat down in front of the alien where it looked up to the two inmates. "Hello Peter and who is this you brought with you?" said the alien.

"This is Bob and Bob, this is Kallark better known as Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard." said Peter.

"I hope that is not your actual name." said Gladiator.

"Relax, it's only temporary since this guy has no name to begin with."

"I see. I hear from the others that you were the one that caused the incident earlier with the Omega Core yes?" Gladiator asked and "Bob" nodded.

"That was a mistake my friend. But how is it that you managed to come here for this is a place that is quite literally on the edge of the universe?"

"Bob" shrugged its shoulders again and Gladiator raised his eyebrows at it, surprised on how little its knowledge of the cosmos was. "You truly don't know what this place is?"

"Bob" nodded.

"This place is known as the Kyln, an intergalactic prison for the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy and a power source for neighboring worlds. It is also a religious pilgrimage site since this is near the Crunch, a barrier between our universe made of positive matter and the Negative Zone which is made up of anti matter. People flock over here come to observe the Crunch and ponder about their place in the universe." Gladiator explained.

"Have you been living under a rock this whole time because this is pretty common knowledge out here." Peter asked.

"An interesting friend you have introduced to me Peter but I must get back to the task at hand." Gladiator stood up from his seat and walked away from the duo. "Bob" pointed to Gladiator wondering what he was talking about.

"All I know that he's on a undercover mission and he couldn't tell anyone about it." Peter explained.

"Oi Quill!" A voice shouted out. It was coming from a small mammal-like being dressed up in yellow like the other inmates. He had light brown fur all over his body and his face had black and white markings around his eyes. He had whiskers and a bushy tail with black rings around it.

"You and I aren't done after what happened last time!" said Rocket.

Peter sighed almost as if he was annoyed at the inmate. "You have to excuse Mr. Personality a.k.a. Rocket here. He's still pretty mad at me for getting him arrested by the Nova Corps."

"You better believe I'm still mad Quill! You practically humiliated me and my partner in front of a crowd no less!"

"Bob" saw someone or something walking up behind Rocket who was smiling at its arrival. It had a towering physique wearing only yellow pants but the strangest thing about it was that it was entirely made up of wood. It had branches sprouting out at the top of his head almost as if it was hair and yellow eyes along with a hole where its nose should be.

"I am Groot." It said in a deep and booming voice.

"Bob" was amazed at the sight of this being and wonder how it was even possible for something like this to even exists. "Now that some real muscle showed up." Rocket cracked his knuckles while grinning. "What say you and I settle this once and for all Star Lord?"

Peter got out from his chair. "First off, don't call me by that name and second..." Peter grabbed a nearby food tray and threw it a green skinned prisoner with tattoos who angrily looked back to see who did it. "...You have other things to worry about than little old me."

He pointed to Rocket and the prisoner then charged straight at Rocket but was stopped by Groot who grabbed him from the back of his shirt and threw him across the cafeteria landing straight on top of a table.

"Food fight!" Someone shouted out of nowhere and chaos reigned out in the cafeteria. Food were thrown across the place and prisoners were started to brawl with one another. Rocket snarled at his missed chance for revenge at Peter and jumped up when a inmate's body almost crashed into him. Groot was tossing anyone away who tried to attack him. "Bob" felt a hand on its left shoulder and looked up to see Peter motioning his head to follow him away from the skirmishes.

Omega Core guards burst through the doors with electro staffs and rushed in trying to get the inmates to stop but some of the inmates saw this as an opportunity and began fighting the guards back. Just when it seemed like the situation couldn't escalate any further, Riker came in and pulled out a pistol, firing multiple times into the air. Every inmate stopped what they were doing and looked at Riker who only chuckled while shaking his head. Everyone felt a chill run down their spine dreading what kind punishment the warden would sic on them. The answer came with no food for three days and everyone who had been in the cafeteria were forced to brush the toilets with their toothbrushes. "Bob" had no idea how lucky he was to have escape it.


I just can't imagine Steve Downes saying all of this dialogue for Star Lord because Star Lord sounded so serious in the show but I figure that it would be best if I added in some of his traits from the movie and the recent comics to make him more human.

How did you guys feel about Rocket and Gladiator, did I nailed it or was it off balance? I would love to know and please review, fav, and follow.
