Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2

"Hey y'all prepare yourself for the Rubberband Man!"

The Milano soared through the skies, the inside of the ship filled with music from the Awesome Mix Volumes 1 and 2, the crew grooving to the beat.

From his seat as the pilot, Quill mouthed the words. "Sing it, Drax!" But Drax was snoring away in his seat.

Beside the sleeping Drax, Gamora was moving to the beat. "See, Gamora's got it!" Peter grinned, watching his girl grooving in her seat. He always knew she was really a dancer. She flashed him a smile. Peter loved to lovingly tease the assassin-warrior woman about her singing and dancing to his Earth music, but it also warmed his heart.

"I love this song!" Behind Peter, Mantis was dancing in her seat with the biggest smile on her face.

There came a groan from Rocket's seat and the raccoon pulled on his ears. "How can you people listen to the same song over and over again?!" He was trying to clean his gun.

There was a beeping behind him - Groot still had his hand-held video game. He'd been staring at it for hours, despite his team members' protests.

"Groot put that thing away I'm not going to ask you again," said Peter. No response. "Groot."

"I am Groot," Groot mocked back.

"Hey!"

"Whoa!"

"Language!"

"You watch your mouth young man or I'll smash that game to pieces!" warned Rocket.

Pretty soon, Peter put the ship on auto-pilot and they drifted gently through space. That was until they were drawn to a sharp halt, startling everyone, and the lights flickered off. Everyone fell silent, Peter cutting the music, and Drax snapped awake.

"I think someone's coming aboard," whispered Peter. Everyone reached for their weapons and faced the doorway.

A figure, also on the defenseive with thier weapon raised, appeared. In the dimmness they soon saw that it was an orange-skinned woman.

"Envy?" cried Gamora, immediately lowering her weapon.

"Hello, Sister." The other woman gave a weak smile, and it was then that the crew realized she was wounded.

"Envy, what happened?" asked Gamora, rushing to her sister's side. She didn't think she had ever seen the warrior so beaten up before. Wherever she had come from it must have been bad.

Envy addressed the whole group. "Guardians, I'm afraid I come bearing bad news: Xandar has fallen."

So I know I mixed Guardians 2 and 'Infinity War' a bit here, but I didn't want to cut out the awesome scene of the guardians grooving to Peter's music while on a mission :) If you're reading my 'Infinity War' story, the next chapter I'm going to post picks up pretty much right after this chapter! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed! :)
