Jin was dreaming of flying in big space ship. She was looking out of the big opening on the wall. She saw Earth and Moon, and other planets. It was beautiful. She was in command. Strange people were all over her, making sure they are going in the right direction. Her dad was nearby, he looked strange. He was dressed in armour and was blue skinned.

''Captain, we are ready to go home!'' He said to her.

''Good! You know coordinates!, Prepare for jump!'' She ordered.

''Yes, ma'am!''

And then she woke up. She looked around, she was still in her room. ''Strange dream!'' She thought.

She rolled her eyes with her hands and looked at the window. Street light was coming from outside. She decided to look out, to see is Max at home, and maybe to see that big guy again. She just couldn't get him out of her mind.

Max was sleeping in his little house, and street was empty. She felt little disappointed with it. She went to their living room, she can see the street better from there. But no one was there. She yawned, felling very sleepy. But then she saw something. Some strange blue light appearing and then disappearing. Like the one she saw today on the sky.

She wondered if maybe that big guy came with that lights to Earth. She looked behind herself. Her dad was sleeping, so she decided just to step outside to look better. She unlocked the door, and got out. The light was coming from the beach. She started to walk toward it without noticing and soon she was on the beach.

She saw something big, with big entrance in the middle of it. The light was coming from inside. She stepped in. Nobody was there. It was empty, at least she thought it was. It was dark and she couldn't see much. She heard cat meowing. She turned around and there was little cat. But it ran further in the ship. Finally she caught it. It was yellow, and very furry. She pet it for a while and fell asleep with the cat in her hands.

She stayed like that, but the cat ran away leaving her alone in side of it.

Nebula and Gamora were searching another way to Xandarian house. It was at the end of the street, a little detached from other houses, surounded with a small park near the beach. It was children playground. They were arguing the whole time they walked. Gamora was trying to change Nebula's vision of things they are doing for Ronan and Thanos. But Nebula was stuborn, thinking she just wants her fail again, so she could take another victory over her.

''You took too much from me already! Thanos loves you most, Ronan has more trust in you too! What else do you want? He'll kill me this time, if I fail, you know that! It's like you wonna get me killed!''

''That's not the truth and you know it! Aren't you tired of all this killing?!''

''We're doing the right thing! Cleaning the universe of unworthy!''

''And who decide who is unworthy?'' Gamora asked, seeing the lost battle.

''The strongest ones! Ronan could one day kill our father and free us from his slavery! Don't you want that?!''

This time Nebula was right. There is no other way. She tried to make him see he is doing bad things, but he is Titan. He can do what he wants. But still she hoped she'll find other way than killing him.

''There are other ways to free ourselves from him!''

''And what are those?!'' Nebula asked.

''Shhhhhsss!'' Gamora sileted her. ''He is here. The location shows this place!'' Gamora pointed with finger to the house in front of them.

''Is Ronan already there?'' Nebula asked.

''No, he is alone.''

''Stay here, I'll go around the house to see is there other ways in.''

''Ok!''

Gamora observed the house, trying to see what is Xandarian doing. She saw him holding a picture of someone. She got closer to the back door window to see better, forgeting she might be seen. He was holding a picture of Xandarian woman and child.

''Must be his family.'' She thought with sadness. ''Too many lives and too many families were torn apart with this war.''

She remembered her family, they were victims of another war, Thanos war. He destroyed everything.

''Thankfully Ronan doesn't have such a power, but he craves for it. He would do everything to obtain and gain more power. He would be even worse than Thanos, if he could. At least Thanos had partialy ''justified'' reasons for his actions, but Ronan…. He is just a mad man.'' She thought. Some noise took her attention.

Ronan was there. He was talking something to him.

''I knew you would come here some day!'' Xandarian said.

''Glad I didn't disappoint you, Thaliar!'' Ronan said. Ronan held serious look on his face. Pain was overtaking all his senses. ''We could have lived in piece if you didn't betray my fath…!'' He couldn't say it to the end.

Gamora was observing and listening all of it from outside. She felt almost sorry for Ronan seeing him like this, but she knew he went crazy long time ago, and there was no good left in him anymore. If there ever was any at all.

''You know we had to do that. Our people have the right on freedom too.''

''Look where that freedom took you! Hiding in that primitive world for centuries!''

''It was worth of every moment! Thaliar said. ''My family and all Xandarians live in peace and free.''

''Not for long!'' Ronan said. ''Where did you hide the orb?''

''The orb was stolen from me days ago! You'll never find it. I don't know where it's is now. Your father gave it to me, to watch over it, when he saw it would be the end of both of our civilization if it gets to Supreme Inteligence possession!''

''DON'T YOU speak like that about my father! My father would NEVER betray his people!'' He started to yell at him. Furry was in his eyes, glowing in purple. Gamora felt fear seeing him like that, craziness began to swallow him. But Nebula almost enjoyed the view.

''But, that's exactly what I'm sayin', HE WASN'T BETRAYING your kind, he was betraying the Supreme Intelinence before it destroy us all! It begin to overtake lives of us all!''

''Tell me no more LIES!'' Ronan yelled and took his hammer in his hand. ''This is your jugement day. Thaliar, you are accused for killing my father, and betraying my people the Kree. And this is your punishment!''

''Watch out yourself and our people Ronan, Supreme Intelingence can't be trusted! Thaliar said before Ronan executed his punishment over him.

Ronan lifted the hammer in his hands and swing it over the Xandarian head, leaving it chrushed on the floor. Blood seeped from his body. He sprinkled it with some fluid so there would be no traces of his actions over Xandarian to be found by Terran race.

He left the house, not looking back, but Thaliar's warning stayed in his head for some reason. ''Lies!'' He said to himself. His father can rest in peace now. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath which slowed down his heart rate.

Nebula was waiting for him outside the house.

Gamora was still behind the house. Trembling in shock and anger she couldn't do anything to save that man. ''He even warn him about danger there might be for him and his people and he still killed him! How can someone be so crazy blind and stuborn!'' She thought still under the impression of Ronan's actions.

''It's really the time to get away from him.'' Now that she knows what Thanos wants from Ronan she knows how she'll do it. She needs to stop Ronan and Thanos from getting the orb. She walked to the main entrance of the house where Ronan and Nebula waited for her.

''Korath will find the location of the orb, and one of you will retrieve it for me!'' Ronan looked at both of them.

''I would be my pleasure'', Nebula said and looked Gamora with smirk.

But Gamora wasn't in the mood for fighting right now. She has to find a way to persuade Ronan to send her on the mission of retrieving the orb. So she could hide it from them and run away for good.

''We can go now. There is nothing else left to do in this place. We are going into the search for the orb.

They disappeared in the dark night, leaving the house empty. The ship was already preparing for taking off when they came in. He looked the beach slightly illuminated with the blue light of the ship. It was empty, no Terran girl or anyone else.

In the distance he saw heavy clouds still glowing with lightning echoing the sky. It was beautiful to see it like that. ''War planet. '' He thought. It reminded him of his home. From space it would look beautiful, all that storms roaming around it. Just like this place. It could easily become his planet. But he still didn't finished his protective service to Hala.

''Korath, I have a mission for you!'' He said.

Jin was still inside the ship, unaware that they took off. The rumbling sounds of the ship engines wake her up, but she thought she was dreaming everything so she closed her eyes again and drift away, dreaming of the blue man and the lights on the beach playing with her. Smile was on her face.

Slowly, they went out the Earth atmosphere, leaving Jin's father alone in the house, unaware of everything that was happening.

''Prepare for jump!'' Ronan commanded, and then they were gonne, unnoticed, just like they came here. Human devices didn't find anything unusual.

''Korath, you'll go in search for the current location of the orb. You'll contact me when you find it. Nebula or Gamora will join you in search for it later. We have some things to do first.''

''Yes, my Lord!'' He turned and summon few of his companions to go with him.

''Nebula, Gamora!'' He called for his girls. ''You have been very helpful this night.'' He looked at them with gratefulness.

''It's been a pleasure.'' Gamora said but not thinking the same.

''What's wrong?!'' Ronan noticed her distress.

''Nothing… Just…couldn't forget what that man said. Are you sure he was lying?!''

''Gamora!'' Nebula looked at her with disapproval.

Her remark offended him. ''How can you possible think my father would do such thing?!''

''No, I thought about Supreme Inteligence!'' Gamora corrected herself.

''Yes, I suspected that for a while but not at that scale. Just thought it wanted to remove some persons from the place of power.

''Like you?!'' Gamora asked. ''That's maybe just the beginning of it taking over your and other planets! She warned him.

''Maybe, but it served us well during the wars. Not thinking trusting that Xandarian, maybe?!'' He asked with anger.

''No!''

''Good!''

XXXXXXX

Peter was still sleeping when the girl he slept with last night took the opportunity and stole the orb he was still hiding in his pocket. He won it in a gamble game while running from Jondu who was searching for him, and maybe for a few things he took with him. Rocket was still outside the ship, looking for Groot and maybe other things valuable for trade.

After a disappointing search and nobody to kidnap Rocket returned to the ship finding Peter still sleeping with his pockets searched and empty. ''Hey, you big loverboy, it seems you lost something! AGAIN!'' He hit him slightly with his boots and woke him up.

''What?!'' Peter said still feeling sleepy.

''I said, you've lost something again. Looks like that girl found what she needed.'' He laught at him. Peter looked around himself and then he searched his pockets.

''Fuck! You can laugh what you want, but she took the ORB!''

''What!? Are you crazy? Where did you hide it?!''

''I didn't. I've forgot about it!''

''WHAT? How could you forget about it, you piece of crap?! You really are useless. I've should have go for it, not you! Can't believe it! You see a pair of legs and a hair and you lose your mind! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! He took a wooden bar and started to hit him with it.

''STOP! Stop it! Peter yelled.

''NO! I've should done that earlier to remind you to hide it!''

Peter went out of his ship. ''I'll go in search for her.''

''No! I'll go! You'll just lose something else meanwhile.

''Ok, but I'll go with you!''

''No!''

''I'll follow you anyway!'' Peter said, making puppy face.

''FINE!'' Rocket was really starting to rethink his first thought of selling him for credits, but he would get almost nothing for him. ''AAAAGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR'' He mumbled in his chin. ''Let's go, if we want to catch her.''

Jin started to wake up. It was dark all over her. Her neck and legs hurt her from cold and firm ship wall. She wondered what time it is. She felt confused, it seemed to her she slept the whole night, and jet it was still night. She rolled her eyes and yawned. Place seemed somewhat different than her room. She looked for her night lamp to turn it on but she only found cold stone walls.

Now she was becoming aware that's something different. She remembered looking for the light she saw outside but she thought she dreamed it. The cat was gonne too. ''I have to go back. Dad will be worried about me. And I promised him I won't go outside in the dark alone, again!'' She started to look for the exit.

Jin was observing the empty hallways inside the ship. It was huge and dark. Very dark, but they had some strange beauty. Walls were covered with some unusual carvings. Nothing she saw before in her life. She was scared but excited too, she would really like to show this place to her father, he wouldn't believe what she found. But she needs to get back home first.

But everything seemed the same. She couldn't remember which way she went when she got here. Tears started to form in her eyes while great fear started to swallow her. How she's gonna get back to her dad. He must be worried sick about her. Her cry was echoing empty hallways.

Nebula seemed to hear something while arguing with her sister Gamora. ''Shhshh! Do you hear it?!''

''Hear what?'' Gamora asked.

''That noice!'' Gamora went silent to see what her sister heard. Then she heard it too. Silent, but it was there, some noice, like someone cry.

They both went to the source of the sound. They were roaming the hallways, and then, finally, found the creature that was producing that sounds. ''What?!'' Gamora couldn't believe what she sees, neither Nebula.

The girl was turned with her backs to them, holding her face in her hands and crying. Gamora looked at her sister who was staring at her with the same surprised expression. They didn't brought anyone to the ship, let alone Terran child. Nebula had a little bit of predatory look in her eyes while looking at little girl. She started to feel afraid for that child.

''I'll take care for her!'' she said to Nebula.

''Why?!'' Nebula asked. ''So you could take credit for another thing too?''

Gamora looked at her with disappointment. ''Not everything in my life runs around success! I don't believe you would know how to take proper care for a child.''

''And you know?! Why would we care for that thing at all? What it is to us?''

''See, that's what I'm talking about, that's why I need to take care of her!''

''No, she needs to be taken to Ronan so he decides what to do with her!''

''Why?, he doesn't need to know anything about her. I''ll take her to my room while we search for the orb and then I'll fly to Xandar and leave her to their government to take her to Terra.''

''You know we don't mess with Xandarians. They are our enemies!''

''No, they are Ronan's enemies, we just work for him!'' Gamora said.

''Don't you forget where your loyalty lies Gamora. ''Nebula pressed her with her elbow to the wall behind her.

Gamora quickly removed her hand of her throat looking at her with angry eyes. ''Leave!'' She yelled at Nebula.

Then Jin became aware that someone is behind her. She turned to see two women looking persons, but with strange features. She felt a little scared. ''Who are you? Can you help me get back home?'' She asked still crying.

Nebula quickly grabbed her hand and started to drag her to Ronan. ''Where are you taking me?! Please, let me go, take me home!'' Jin desperately yelled at Nebula.

Gamora followed her scared of what they'll do to her. He could easily kill her if he gets annoyed with her presence. Gamora walked behind Jin while telling her not to be afraid, and be still and silent, and obey everything he says to her.

Jin nodded that she understood, so she whipped her tears, hoping they would help her. She was entering to another huge room with great, big, dark wall. Someone was standing in front of it with some people looking like some soldiers.

''Ronan, look what I've found!'' she pushed Jin in front of him while he waited for Thanos talk. She almost fell to her knees from Nebula's ''soft'' drag and push.

Jin looked at Ronan's back without recognizing him. He turned and got a bit surprised with what he sees. He stood for a moment looking at her before coming closer. He didn't found fear in her eyes, not yet.

''I know you!'' She said. Nebula shushed her.

He was circling around her trying to sense her emotions. ''Well, well, what do we have here?'' He said.

''You're the big guy I meet this evening!'' She said surprised. Nebula and Gamora looked at each other confused.

''Aren't you afraid of me?'' He asked. ''No… well,… yes… No! I'm afraid of her.'' She pointed with her finger at Nebula.

She looked at her with a smirk, contended with what she said.

''Well, maybe you should!'' He said to her, finding a little bit of fear in her eyes.
