"…I told Gamora…how…when I was a kid…I used to pretend that David Hasselhoff was my dad…" Peter spoke, in tears.

Rocket rubbed up and down Petra's arm as she cried silently into his chest. Groot gripped his hand on the other side. Gamora stood by Peter's side, firm hand on his shoulder for support. Drax, Mantis, Kraglin, and Nebula in the corner, respectfully stood.

They all surrounded Yondu's body…

one last time…

"Earlier…it struck me…Yondu didn't have a talking car, but he did have a flying arrow…He didn't have the beautiful voice of an angel, but he did have the whistle of one…Both Yondu, and David Hasselhoff went on kick-ass adventures…and hooked up with hot women…and fought robots…I guess David Hasselhoff did kind of end up being our dad after all," he spoke the last sentence specifically to his sister who, despite silently falling apart, listened to his every word. "Only it was Yondu…We had a pretty cool dad…" he smiled at her…

and she smiled back…

"What I'm trying to say here is, sometimes that thing you're searching for your whole life…is right there by your side all along…

You don't even know it…"

…At that, Nebula walks away…

…Gamora follows after her…

Drax moves with Mantis away to give them space as Kraglin pushed Yondu's body to the incinerator, furthering Petra's crying. Peter slowly walks to her and takes her in his arms. Rocket holds Groot, who was silently crying, closely to him.

Peter then pulls away and holds her face between his palms. "He loved us…and he knows we loved him too…" he tells her firmly. She smiles through her teary eyes, and hugs him again.

Peter then, after returning Petra safely to Rocket's arms, takes his leave.

"Come on…" Rocket beckons Petra… "There's something I wanna show you…" he softly tells her.

She wordlessly complies. He pulls Groot along.

They head up to the navigation deck, and stop.

"What?" she hoarsely asks in confusion as they simply stood.

"Just wait," he told.

Then…

They saw it…

The Colors of Ogord…

From around the ship, the Guardians gathered to watch, all but Nebula, who had taken her leave after vowing revenge against Thanos for torturing her all those years, and bidding Gamora farewell.

Petra looks to Rocket in shock. "You called them?" she asked, referring to the true Ravagers who emitted said lights, a true, honorable Ravager funeral.

"Mhm," Rocket smirks. Petra smiles brightly at him in gratitude. He paces a light kiss on her head.

The Ravagers then invite the Guardians out for drinks. Each group swapped their known stories about Yondu in remembrance.

It was soon realized by many, that his stories would forever live on…

immortalizing his legacy…

forever…
