A/N: I looked up the spelling of the Abilisk (the creature the group fights at the beginning of the movie) on GOTG 2 music soundtrack. So, hopefully It's spelled correctly there.

Useful Info.-

Italics- is writing.

"..."- is dialogue.

'...'- is thoughts.

Chapter 1- The Abilisk

The Sovereign- Platform

The gang was on a platform that contained five big orange glowing power generators which were powered by Anulax batteries. The Sovereign had hired the group (which was now referred to as the Guardian's of the Galaxy) to protect them from a creature called the Abilisk which was currently making a beeline for the platform.

Peter Quill stood with his device in front of everyone else with Valkyrie Rael next to him holding two rectangular box-looking guns that Rocket had made for her. Gamora stood slightly to Valkyrie's left and Drax to Peter's right. Rocket was fiddling with the music system that he had designed and Baby Groot walked around curiously next to him.

"Showtime, A-holes!" Peter Quill stated as he looked at the device he was using to track the Abilisk's movement. "It will be here any minute."

"Which will be it's loss." Gamora, Thanos's ex-adoptive daughter remarked as she cocked the gigantic gun she was olding. Each of the guardians, sans Drax, was wearing a one of Rocket's Aero-rigs, which allowed the user to fly through the air.

At the sound of the cock Peter looked over at Gamora, "I thought your thing was a sword?"

Gamora gave Peter an 'are you stupid?' look and responded with, "We've been hired to stop an interdimensional beast from feeding on those batteries and I'm gonna stop it with a sword?"

"It's just, swords were your thing and guns were mine. But I guess we're both doing guns now. I just didn't know that." Peter stated, shifting from one foot to the other and biting his lip while glancing down at the tracking device.

Trying to defuse the flirting, Valkyrie turns and looks at Drax, noticing for the first time that he wasn't wearing one of the Aero-rigs, "Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket's Areo-rigs?"

Drax turned away from her and mumbles, "It hurts."

"It hurts?"

"I have sensitive nipples." Drax mumbled.

Valkyrie sighed, shook her head and turned back to look at the device Peter was holding to see if the creature was almost here.

Rocket laughed, "My nipples hurt! Oh goodness me!" He lifted his paws to rotate where his were underneath his aero-rig.

Drax turned and pointed at Rocket, "What about him? What is he doing?"

"I'm finishing this so that we can listen to tunes while we work." Rocket said, motioning to the sound system.

"How is that a priority?" Drax asked.

Rocket motioned to Peter, "Blame Quill. He's the one who loves music so much."

Peter looked puzzled, "No, I actually agree with Drax on this. That's hardly important right now."

"Okay. Sure. Quill." Rocket said while blinking his left eye… in view of the rest of the group.

"No. Seriously. I side with Drax."

"No, I understand that. You're being very serious right now." Rocket blinked his left eye again and Valkyrie rolled her eyes at the bickering, turning to look up at the sky, watching out for the creature.

"I can clearly see you winking." Drax stated.

Rocket huffs, "Damn it. I'm using my left eye?"

The attention pulled off of Rocket and onto Baby Groot when he started to fight with small lizard-like creatures. He drove them off for a second, straightened up and adorably stated, "I Am Groot!" His fists were tightly closed into fists and Valkyrie thought it was the most adorable thing.

Rocket sighed, "They were not looking at you funny." Suddenly a thunder-like sound ricocheted across the area. The Abilisk was here. It came through the clouds and roared. "Well, That's intense." Rocket stated.

The Abilisk crashes into the platform and Drax yells while holding out the two swords in both hands and charges at the creature. Everyone else follows suit and flies in with their aero suits, attacking the thing all at once.

Music came out of nowhere and Valkyrie knew that Baby Groot turned it on. She would have to thank him later.

After a couple minutes of fighting, Rocket flew over to Baby Groot who was about to eat a fly-looking creature, "No! Spit it out! Spit it Out! Come on!" Rocket hits Baby Groot and the fly flies free from almost being eaten." Rocket then flies away, taking back out his gun and stated, "Disgusting!"

The Guardian's of the Galaxy fight the creature for a couple more minutes and Drax suddenly smashes into Rockets sound system, making Baby Groot begin to attack him but Drax shrugs him off and stands up.

Gamora and Valkyrie back up, firing their guns at the Abilisk. Nothing seemed to be able to penetrate it.

"The beast's hide is too thick to be pierced from the outside." Drax stated, "I must cut through it from the inside."

At that, Valkyrie glanced at Drax, startled, "What?!"

"Huh," Gamora also asked, "No, no!"

"Wait a minute! Drax!" Valkyrie yelled, putting her hand out and running to him, followed by Gamora, but Drax paid no attention to them and ran at the creature, yelling and charged right into it's mouth. The creature swallowed him whole.

Peter pushed a button and his helmet collapsed down to behind his ear, staring at the creature in disbelief, "What is he doing?" Peter yelled.

"He said the skin is too thick to be pierced from the outside; so he-"

"That doesn't make any sense!" Peter interrupted.

"Gamora and I tried to tell him that." Valkyrie said frustrated.

Peter continued, "Skin is the same level of thickness from the inside as from the outside!"

Gamora turns to Peter and says angrily, "I realize that!"

Peter puts some more ammo into his gun, "There is a cut on its neck." Peter turns toward Rocket who is still firing his guns at it from the air, distracting it so that Gamora, Peter and Valkyrie could talk, "Rocket, get it to look up." He then flies up to the Abilisk and fires at it saying, "Hey, you giant Sea-Monkey! Up here!" Valkyrie follows Rocket and Drax up, distracting the Abilisk so that Gamora could go in for the kill.

Gamora goes for her gun, but it is jammed so she brings out and extends her sword, runs and jumps up onto the creature and leaps to the creature's neck, bringing her sword in and down the creature's underbelly, bringing it down on the ground, dead.

Drax slides out of the open wound, alive and laughing. He stood on his knees and raised his swords over his head, "Yes! I have single-handedly vanquished the beast!" Everyone stood around him with disbelief and annoyance. Gamora and Valkyrie crossed their arms. Baby Groot throws a stone at Drax and he stops laughing, bringing his arms back down, "What?"

After the group explained to Drax what had happened, Drax was a bit put out but was still enjoying the thrill of being inside the Abilisk's stomach and surviving didn't really care that much. The group stood around the main Anulax battery storage system cleaning up from the battle.

Peter and Valkyrie took off their Aero-rig suits and Valkyrie stretched her arms over her head.

"What are they called again?" Drax asked, using a towel to wipe off the sweat from his body.

Peter put back on his red Ravager jacket, "Anulax batteries"

"Harbulary batteries." Drax repeated… the wrong word.

"That's nothing like I just said. But their worth thousands of units apiece which is why the Sovereign hired us to protect them." Peter explained for the billionth time, "Careful what you say around these folks. They're easily offended. The cost of transgression is death."

The Sovereign- Government Palace

The Guardian's of the Galaxy stood in the Sovereign's throne room, receiving praise for defeating the Abilisk from The Sovereign's leader. Everything in the room was gold colored, including the skin of the Sovereigns.

"We thank you, Guardians for putting your lives on the line. We could not risk the lives of our own Sovereign citizens. Every citizen is born exactly as designed by the community. Impeccable, both physically and mentally. We control the DNA of our progeny, germinating them in birthing pods."

Peter spoke up then, "I guess I prefer to make people the old-fashioned way." Valkyrie rolled her eyes.

"Perhaps someday, you could give me a history lesson in the archaic ways of our ancestors…. For academic purposes."

At the Sovereigns response to Peter's flirting, Valkyrie glanced at Gamora and saw her lips tighten and her mouth twist into a small frown.

"I would be honored. Yes…. In the name of research I think that could be pretty-" Peter turns and looks at Gamora, who is staring intently at Peter. He turns back to the Sovereign, "repulsive. I'm not into that kind of casual…."

Gamora steps forward, finally annoyed with Peter's flailing around and stated in a clearly annoyed voice, "Oh please. Your people promised something in exchange for our services. Bring it and we shall gladly be on our way."

The Sovereign nods and two Sovereigns bring out a hooded figure and forcing them to the ground. The two guards pull back the hood to reveal Nebula. Both ex-adopted sisters stared at each other, the hatred very clear to everyone else in the room.

"Family reunion. Yay." Peter said sarcastically, bringing his hands up and waving them really fast then put them down once he realized no one else was amused.

The Sovereign started to speak, "I understand she is your sister."

Gamora narrowed her eyes, "She's worth no more to me than the bounty due for her on Xandar." She moves forward and grabs Nebula, forcing her to stand up and brought her next to her.

"Our soldiers apprehended her attempting to steal the batteries." The Sovereign stood up and clasped her hands in front of her, "Do with her as you please."

Gamora forced Nebula to walk and Gamora stalked out of the throne room, keeping a close watch on Nebula. Valkyrie bowed and followed, keeping a careful eye on Nebula.

Peter bowed, "We thank you, High Priestess Ayesha."

He turned around but stopped when the High Priestess asked him a question, "What is your heritage? Mr. Quill. And your's Miss. Rael?"

Valkyrie frowns, "I don't see how that is any of your business."

At that Valkyrie stops a couple feet from the door. Gamora and Nebula stop as well, "My mother is from Earth."

"And your father?" Ayesha asked, eyes focused on Peter after giving Valkyrie a death glare.

"He ain't from Missouri. That's all I know." Peter responded.

"I see it within you. An unorthodox genealogy. A hybrid that seems particularly reckless.

"You know, they told me you people were concelted douchebags," Rocket began, turning his head toward Peter, "but that isn't true at all." Rocket winks with his left eye… in full view of the court. A guard moves forward and raises his gun, "Oh shit. I'm using my wrong eye again, aren't I?"

Peter makes the correct decision and turns around to walk away. Drax picked up Rocket and pulled him away before he could say anything else but Rocket kept on talking, "I'm sorry. That was meant to be behind your back."

Drax lets go of Rocket and Rocket turns around and walks out on his own, Drax commenting, "Count yourself blessed they didn't kill you."

"You're telling me." Rocket opened up his bag a bit and showed Drax his bounty, "You wanna buy some batteries?" Drax burst out laughing.
