Yondu took a deep breathe before turning to Petra, telling her, "You have a plan right?"
"Yeah, of course," she answered, smiling. "Just need to go over with the boys."
The Ravager Captain narrowed his red eyes at the red haired woman. "You have ten minutes, girly."
Petra nodded and led Gamora to the docking bay where the Milano was waiting, the boys walking out and towards the girls. She led them to an area where they pulled up some cargo boxes and sat down.
After the red head explained, Rocket exploded, "You call that figuring it out. We are going to rob the guy who just beat us senseless!"
"You want to talk about senseless?" Petra snapped, stepping towards the raccoon. "How about saving us by blowing us up?"
"We were going to do that if they didn't turn you girls over."
"And how were they going to that when you gave them to the count of five?"
"Okay. We didn't have time to detail the plan. This is what we get for acting on our own."
"I am Groot," Groot agreed with Rocket.
"They are ungrateful."
"What is important now is getting the Ravager army to help us save Xandar," Gamora said. "We have to stop Ronan."
"So we can just hand the Stone to Yondu who is going to sell it to someone else who might be worse?"
"I will handle that part when we cross that bridge," the red head said, her brain already forming different ideas and scenarios. Some of which do not end well.
"So how are we going to stop Ronan?" questioned Rocket.
"I have a plan," Petra announced, causing Rocket to look at her in disbelief.
"You have a plan?
"Yes I do. Problem?"
"Okay, first of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan."
"I'm not copying you; I have a plan, that's not that unique of a thing to say."
"Second, I don't even think you have a plan."
"I have a part of a plan," she admitted.
"What percentage of a plan do you have?" Drax questioned.
"You don't get to ask questions," Gamora snapped, pointing towards the muscular man. "Not after the nonsense you pulled on Nowhere."
"I just saved Quill," he argued.
"We've already established that destroying the ship we are on is not saving," Petra cut in.
"When did we establish that?"
"Like three seconds ago."
"I wasn't listening. I was thinking of something else."
"What percentage of a plan, Quill?" Rocket asked.
"I am thinking…12%," she answered.
"Only 12%?" Rocket asked, laughing.
"That's fake," Petra pouted.
"It's real."
"Totally fake."
"That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life because THAT IS NOT A PLAN!" Rocket argued.
Garmoa sat down and agreed, "It is barely a concept."
The red head turned to the other woman, "
The red head turned to the other woman, "You're taking their side?"
"I am Groot."
"So what, "It's better than eleven percent!" What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Rocket asked his companion.
"Thank you, Groot," Petra said, smiling at the humanoid tree. "See? Groot is the only one of you that has a clue."
Groot started to mouth at a leaf on his shoulder causing Petra to turn away and sigh while Rocket huffed.
"Guys, Yondu is going to be here soon. He is expecting to hear this big plan of ours. I need your help," Petra said. "When I look around, you know what I see? Losers."
Everyone glared at the woman.
"I mean like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have, man, we have, all of us. Our homes. Our families. Normal lives. And you think life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance."
"To do what?" Drax asked quietly.
"To give a shit," Petra answered, green eyes meeting purplish-blue. "And I am not gonna stand by and watch as billions of lives are being wiped out."
"But Quill, beating Ronan... it can't be done. You're asking us to die," Rocket said, scared.
"I guess I am."
Gamora stood up and looked at the pale woman. "Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends."
Drax stood up. "You're an honorable woman, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter."
"I am Groot." Groot stood as well. They looked towards a still sitting Rocket, who looked back at them.
"Aww, what the hell, I don't have that long a lifespan anyway..." Rocket stood. "Well now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle."
Yondu and a major of his crew walked into the docking bay and saw them standing in a circle with Petra at the center. The blue captain smiled, happy to see his little girl all grown up and with a crew of her own. However, he was also scared of what the future battle might bring.
"Before I hear this plan of yours. I would prefer to see those four in Ravager colors," Yondu said. "Quill, go see Lockly about your green friend. They look to be the same size."
He waited till the girls had left the bay before turning to the boys. "My first mate will show you where you can change."
Kraglin stepped up. "Follow me." Leaving the docking bay with the boys following him. He pointed to a room for Groot and Rocket. He also had to growl a bit because the only room left was the one next to Petra. He left Drax to change and headed to the cargo bay.
Drax stepped into the room and noticed a pant and jacket combo hanging on the door. He looked at the jacket before tossing it towards the bed and changed into the pants, sliding his knives into their boot holsters. He stepped out of the room and walked back the way his came. The muscular man had stepped passed a door causing it to open. Drax stepped in and looked around, noticing things that he did not what they were. Since he was looking at the stuff, he didn't notice that Petra had walked out of her shower, naked as the day she was born. The red head looked up and screamed, startled to see the Destroyer in her room.
Drax turned to the scream and quickly started to back out of the room, apologizing as he left the room. A couple of Ravagers who were nearby had came running to see the muscular man leaving their captain's adopted daughter's room. They grabbed the man and held him to the hull as they sent one to get the captain and first mate.
Yondu and Kraglin had just turned the corner when Petra appeared, still wet from the shower but wrapped in a towel. The Ravager captain saw his men holding the Destroyer and saw his near naked daughter. He growled as Kraglin pulled out his blaster, "What the hell is going on here?"
"Youdu, I can explain," Petra started. Only to have him glare at her to be quiet.
"Captain," one of the Ravager said. "We heard Pet scream, so we came running and found this asshole coming out of her room."
The blue captain turned to the muscular man and asked, "And what were you doing in her room?"
Drax scowled at him, "I had just stepped out and walked passed. The door opened and I walked in. I was curious about why it opened."
Yondu turned to his daughter who was blushing, "Get dress, girly. We are nearing Xandar."
Petra quickly ran back into her room, door closing and locking behind her.
Yondu turned to the muscular man and whistled, causing his Yaka arrow to shot from its holster to Drax's face; hovering in front of the man. "If something like this happens against, I will make so many holes in you before I dig my arrow into your skull. Understand?"
Drax nodded. Yondu ordered his men to let him go before heading back to the cargo bay. He talked with his mate, waiting for his girl and her crew to appear. They came in, causing the Ravagers to look at him. The boys stood with the crew while Gamora and Petra stood in the middle; screens surrounding them.
Gamora started, "The Stone reacts to anything organic. The bigger the target, the bigger the power surge."
Petra took over. "All Ronan has to do is touch the Stone to the planet's surface and zap," Petra took over. "All plants, animals, Nova Crop."
"Everything will die."
"So Ronan doesn't make the surface," the red head said. Using the monitor, Petra played out the plan. "Rocket will led a team to blow a hole in the Dark Aster's hull. Then our craft and Yondu's will enter."
"Won't there be hundreds of soldiers inside?" Kraglin asked, standing next to Yondu.
"I think of them as paper people," Drax said causing Kraglin and the navigator to laugh.
Kraglin gave Drax's shoulder a punch only for the man to glare at him. He stepped closer to his captain and away from the big man.
"One they know we are on board, Ronan will isolate himself behind a security system which I can disable by dismantle the power source," Gamora said.
"We will make it to the flight deck and I will use the hydron enforcer to kill Ronan," Petra said with a determined look on her face.
"Once Ronan is died. We will revive the Stone." A ravager passed out a containment device as Gamora explained. "Use these devices to contain it. If you touch it, it will kill you."
"I will contact the Nova officer who arrested us. Hopefully they will believe we are there to help."
"There's one more thing we need to complete the plan: that guy's eye!" Rocket said, pointing at a Ravager with a cybernetic eye, who looked around in panic.
"No we don't," Petra snapped, glaring down at the snickering Rocket.
"No, seriously, I need it!"
"Rocket," the red head growled before turning to the one eyed Ravager. "Don't listen to him, Boolu. He is trying to be funny."
Boolu looked down at the furry creature before Yondu dismissed the crew to their stations, stopping Petra before she could get to her ship.
"Remember, girly," he said, pulling her close. "At the end of all this, I get the Stone. Cross me, I'll kill you all."
Petra looked at him, slightly nodded before heading to her ship. Yondu waited in his craft until everyone in the M-ships gave him the signal.
"Let's go get him, boys," he said over the comms. M-ships dropping from the Ravager's ship.
"This is a terrible plan," Gamora comment.
"Hey, you said you wanted to die among friends," Petra said, smiling as she flew with her Ravager family.
