Chapter 10: We're the Guardians of the Galaxy
Hako open her eyes only to meet a bright light right at her face. She stand up and look around... pure whiteness. She didn't remember how she end up there, she can't remember anything at all. She didn't feel complete at all, she look down and saw her left arm... it's gone, it was cutted. She touch at the wound, the flesh, she didn't feel pain at all. It was freaking her out.
"Don't worry" A voice said from the distant "You'll come back soon"
"Who's there?" She ask. Hako didn't see anyone near her. She was alone
"Don't be afraid" The voice come from behind her. She turn around and saw an old man sitting in a chair. Hako look at the old man carefully. He had white short hair and he was dressing like a homeless person. He's eyes didn't leave Hako "You know how many had come here but never return to their worlds?"
"I-I don't understand" Said Hako and walk to him "Who are you and what i'm doing here?"
"Simple... You died" He said out of nowhere
"Pfff. Yeah, right" Said Hako. The man stand up and touch Hako's forehead. Her eyes widen suddenly because of the memories coming back at her. The man remove his hand from her and Hako start to cry.
"Don't cry, Hako. You'll come back soon enough. You still have work to do... Things need to happen, and you need to be there" The man say and Hako walk backwards
"WHO ARE YOU?!" She yell
"... I don't have a name. People know me with many names they put me in the course of history. The more usual is God" The old man, calling himself God, was now standing before Hako "But the entities that "control" the main forces of the universe call me..." His lips move but Hako couldn't hear him
"W-What?" She ask and this time she heard him
"The One Above All..." He said and Hako close her eyes "You will not remember this encounter... Hako. For your own good..."
The Dark Aster crashed on Xandar. After the smoke of the crash clears, the Xandarians start to gather and see the Dark Aster reduced to trash. Near the rubbles of the ship, Peter, Gamora, Rocket and Drax wake up. They saw around them the destruction that the Dark Aster cause. Peter saw Hako lying on the rubble, her eyes were closed and her left arm was missing. Peter and Gamora stand up and went to see her, she was pale. Peter sigh.
"She's gone, didn't she?" Peter ask
"I think-" Gamora was interrupted. Hako open her eyes and search for air "She's still alive" Said Gamora "We need to take her to a hospital now"
"Y-Yes we need to-" Peter hear people around them gasping. He turn aroun only to see Ronan walking out of the ship without a single scratch "You have to be fucking kidding me" He whisper. Rocket saw Ronan walking at them.
"You killed Groot!" Rocket yell at him and run to punch him. Ronan move his hammer and send Rocket flying. Hako open her eyes and saw Ronan. She couldn't see clearly but she knew it was him. She look down, her arm slowly start to regenerate but without enough blood she will die.
"Behold!" Ronan scream "Your Guardians of the Galaxy! What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall finally know vengeance. People of Xandar, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods!" Ronan raise his hammer. Peter slowly stand up. "Your salvation is at hand" Ronan yell in Kree language. Peter appear before him and start to sing a song that the tape deck was playing. It was "Ooh Child" from The Five Stairsteps.
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things'll get brighter
"Now bring it down hard!" He said and start to dance awkwardly. Everyone was looking at him like he was just crazy, even Ronan. Hako realize why he was doing it. Rocket was reparing the Hadron Enforcer, Drax was helping him. Hako didn't know the lyrics of the song so she start to move her right arm a little to get Ronan's attention too
"Nice dance, Peter. Keep like that" She said
"What are you doing?" Ronan ask, confused
"Dance-off, bro. Me and you. Gamora" Peter point at Gamora to join him but she shake her head. She didn't want to dance at all, much less in this situation "Hako?" Then he point at Hako. He remember that she couldn't move. Hako show him the middle finger "O-Okay. Take it back" He said and keep dancing
"What are you doing?!" Ronan ask again
"I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom" Said Peter. Ronan turn around as soon he heard a gun behind him. Drax was holding the Hadron Enforcer, Rocket put together the cables and Drax shoot at his hammer and breaking it, making the Infinity Stone to fall to the ground. Peter jump to grab the stone, Ronan extend his hand to reach it. But in the end, Peter grab it. As soon he touch it, an purple hurricane form and Peter was trapped inside. Gamora run at the hurricane, Rocket and Drax did the same. Hako try to stand up quickly but she couldn't. She didn't have blood, if she move she will die. Hako didn't care about her life anymore, she was worried about Peter and the others. She breath heavily and make her way to the hurricane. The wind was strong, very strong. She was getting weak by the second, she was starting to fall back but her determination was bigger. At that moment she realize that she indeed was prepare to give her life in order to save someone.
She enter the hurricane and saw Peter standing with the Stone in his hand, Gamora touch his hand and the power run through her body and start to glow purple just like the stone. Drax come after and touch Peter's shoulder. It happen the same, the power enter his body. Then Rocket grab Drax finger and happen the same. They all were sharing the power. Hako walk to them and touch Rocket shoulder. She could feel the power travelling through her whole body, it feel good but at the same time it was killing her. She stand firmly with her comrades and face Ronan.
Ronan couldn't believe what he was seeing. They were controlling the power of the Infinity Stone so easily "You're mortal! How?!" He demand answers
"You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy" Said Peter. Ronan growl at them and what was left of his hammer try to attack. Peter open his hand and the power of the Stone surround Ronan. Slowly consume him and disintegrated him. Gamora take out a device to contain the stone inside of it. Peter mantein his hand open, Gamora put the Stone inside the device and the hurricane ended. Everything was over.
"Well, well, well" Yondu appear clapping his hands "Quite the light show. Ain't this sweet. But you got some business to attend to before all the nookie-nookie starts" Peter take the device and hide it behind him before Yondu walk toward them
"Peter, you can't" Said Gamora
"You gotta reconsider this, Yondu. I don't know who you're selling this to, but the only way the universe can survive is if you give it to the Nova Corps" Said Peter
"I may be as pretty as an angel, but i sure as hell ain't one" Said Yondu "Hand it over, son" Yondu extend his hand. Peter take the device and give it to him. Yondu smile and walk away
"Yondu. Do not open that Orb. You know that, right? You've seen what it does to people" Yondu throw a smile at him and left. As soon the ship of Yondu leave the planet. Peter take out another device "He is gonna be so pissed when he realizes i switched out the Orb on him" Gamora laugh
"He was gonna kill you, Peter" She said
"I know. But he was about the only family i had"
"No. He wasn't" Gamora replied
"Aww, Really sweet. You two are having a moment while i'm dying here" Said Hako and kneel in the ground
"Are you okay?" Peter ask and Hako look at him in disbelieve
"Are you fucking blind?! I don't have an arm... or any blood left. It's a miracle that i can talk... or move at all"
"Don't worry you will-" Hako interrupt Gamora
"Stop saying: Don't worry! I'm worried as hell!" Hako yell at Gamora "I'm dying here!"
A couple of days have passed since the attack of Ronan on Xandar. People cry over the lives that were lost at that day. Some of them still missing but everyone is doing everything they can. In the hospital they give Hako a transfusion. It was difficult because of her blood and the fact that she was the last one of her kind, but helped that she wasn't pure so they could find a donator. Slowly, Hako's left arm start to regenerate but the doctors of Nova Corps insisted on accelerate the process with nanomachines.
Hako turn them down, she want it to heal alone. Her arm regenarate completely after 3 days. After that she was discharged from the hospital and the Nova Corps take her to the Nova Corps headquarters. There she saw Peter talking with some of the officers. He saw Hako, walk to her and hug her.
"... P-Peter. Stop hugging me or i'll stab you" Hako was blushing a little
"Sorry is just that i was worried. They didn't let us see you at all during this days" Peter look at her arm "It looks new"
"Because it is new... i have to workout a little, is very skinny" Compare to her right arm, the left one lacks any muscle
"Come with me. The Nova Corps call us all to a meeting, they wanted to talk with us about something"
"I hope they won't send us back to prison because we'll escape again anyway"
"Hahaha Yeah. With Rocket everything is possible..." Peter make a pause "Did you know that Groot...?"
"Yes..."
"Still, looks like Rocket manage to plant him. He will grow up again... In about a year or so"
"I hope so. He's a cool tree" Said Hako. Both went to the main room of the Nova Corps Headquarters. One of the Nova Corps talk with Peter about something unusual on his body. Gamora arrive not long after.
"Why would you even know this?" Peter ask
"When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system, se we had it checked out"
"I'm not Terran?" Peter ask
"You are half Terran" Said Nova Prime "Your mother was of Earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen here before"
"That could be why you were able to hold the Stone for as long as you did" Said Gamora
"Maybe your father is a Celestial" Hako suggested
"Who knows. There's no way of knowing..." Said Nova Prime "You're friend have arrived" She said and point at the door. Drax and Rocket come out of it. Rocket was holding a plantpot "On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Denarian Dey, he has something to show you. But before that" Nova Prime turn to Hako "We know that you had commited a lot of crimes, must of them of unforgivable nature. But thanks to your determination, your skills and after talking with your friends, i'm here to give you a proposition. Hako, would you like to join the Nova Corps and train our future soldiers?" Nova Prime ask and Hako's eyes widen
"W-What? But i'm a criminal"
"Your crimes are all forgiven. If you accept or not doesn't matter but we want to give you a better future, more possibilities. It's your choice, we won't push you" Hako look at Peter and the others, then at Nova Prime and sigh
"It's... Actually sounds nice. If i had that offer when i run away from home... I would have accept it without thinking it twice, Nova Prime. But now i decided what i want to do with my life. If the offer stills up, i will return"
"We will wait then. Good Luck" Said Nova Prime and Hako join Peter
"Are you sure about that?" Peter ask "That could have been an opportunity for you"
"Yeah... i have unfinish business first"
"And that would be...?"
"Mainly... Killing my father"
"Thanos? Really?"
"No one will miss him so. Are you with me?"
"I should be asking if you are with us" Said Peter
"Of course i'm with you all... But when the time comes. Will you fight with me?" Hako ask. She was serious about it
"Of course" Said Peter. "We have your back" They all went outside only to see Peter's Milano. It was rebuilt
"We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible" Said Denarian Dey "We salvaged as much as we could"
"Wow. Thank you" Said Peter
"I have a family. They're alive because of you" Said Denarian
"Wait, wait! What happen to my ship?" Hako remember her ship that leave in Xandar at the beginning of this jorney. Denarian didn't know how to response
"That ship... Umm, we kinda... destroy it"
"You did what?!" Hako yell and Drax stop her "Let me go Drax!"
"Take it easy. We take out everything before dismantle the ship" Hako calm down a little "We leave it on the Milano"
"Ha... i was about to kill you if you destroy my things" Hako smile and Drax let go off her
"Like Nova Prime said before. Your criminal records have been expunged. However, i have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future"
"Can i torture my enemies?" Hako ask
"That's against the laws"
"... But they are my enemies. They deserve it"
"Question" Said Rocket "What if i see something that i want to take, and belongs to someone else?"
"You will be arrested" Denarian replied
"But what if i want it more than the person who has it?" Rocket insisted
"It's still illegal"
"That doesn't follow. No, i want it more, sir. Do you understand? What are you laughing at?" He ask to Gamora who was laughing at his quetions "Why? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?"
"What if someone does something irksome and i decide to remove his spine?" Drax ask
"That's why i love this guy" Said Hako "We are in the same channel here"
"That's actually murder. One of the worst crimes of all. So... also illegal"
"It's okay" Hako pat Drax's back "We'll remove someone spine eventually. Hang in there" She and Drax walk away
"They'll be fine, Dey. I'm gonna keep an eye on them" Said Peter
"You?" Dey laugh a little. Peter wasn't someone you should trust to keep an eye on criminals
"Yeah. Me" He smile and follow his comrades to the Milano
Hako sit down in the cabin with Peter and the others. For the first time in years she feel complete, she feel wanted, she feel happy to be around people that understand her and would by there for her. Hako smile and Drax look at her
"Why are you smiling?" He ask
"Nothing. Just feeling whole for a moment. That's all" Hako replied and smile at him. "Don't forget about the deal, Drax... Although we can take our time on this. We should enjoy the ride now"
"Yes, we should enjoy the moment" Said Drax. Peter take the control of the ship and look at each one of his new partners in crime
"So, what should we do next?" He ask "Something Good? Something Bad? A bit of both?"
"We'll follow your lead, Star-Lord" Said Gamora
"Bit of both!" He said and turn on the ship. Hako look out of the window as they exit Xandar and together travel across the galaxy. She can't wait to see what's their next destiny. True, she still have a lot of unfinish business but she will take care of them one by one. For now she will forget about everything and enjoy the ride with the first friends she ever had...
