Ch 5
The Guardians headed to Knowhere, which was not a planet but a mining colony set in the severed head of a dead Celestial. The Celestials were cosmic entities that lived before the Asgardians and the Dark Elves. The Milano landed in the Collector's Museum and the Guardians soon met the man himself.
"Ah, we meet again, Guardians." The Collector said with a grin.
Star-Lord did not like this guy and he remembered the first time he and his friends went to his place. It was not good.
"You know why we're here." Gamora said.
"Of course." The Collector said. "But if you don't mind me asking, why not keep the Soul Stone in your own vault?"
"It's power is too dangerous." Gamora said.
The Collector nodded and gave another weird smile.
"Legend has it that this Infinity Stone has the power to resurrect the dead." The Collector said.
"Yeah, but before you get too attached to it, I should warn you that the Kree are after it." Star-Lord said.
"I will not use it but I shall merely keep it in my own collection." The Collector replied. "How would you like to get paid?"
"What do you think? Units." Rocket said, getting impatient. Suddenly, the power went out and energy blasts ripped through the area. The Guardians dove for cover but the Collector got shot. 3 Kree Troopers and Hala came out. Another battle was going to begin.
