Here's chapter 6 everybody.
Chapter 6: Escaping the Kyln.
After getting briefed by both Daranak and Salzer on the escape, Rocket heads to tell the others of the plan as they get their meal of the day.
"The Nova Twins has provide details of our escape. If we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna need to get into that watchtower, and to do that, I'm gonna need a few things. The guards wear security bands to control their ins and outs. I need one." Rocket said.
"Leave it to me." Gamora said.
Rocket then notice a inmate with a prosthetic leg walking pass them.
"That dude, there. I need his prosthetic leg." Rocket said.
"His leg?" Peter asked.
"Yeah. God knows I don't need the rest of him. Look at him, he's useless." Rocket said.
"All right." Peter said.
"And finally, on the wall back there is a black panel. Blinky yellow light. Do you see it?" Rocket said, which Peter notice the panel on the watchtower wall.
"Yeah." Peter replied.
"There's a quarnyx battery behind it. Purplish box, green wires. To get into that watchtower, I definitely need it." Rocket said.
"How are we supposed to do that?" Gamora asked.
"Well, supposably, these bald-bodies find you attractive. So, maybe you can work out some sort of trade." Rocket said.
"You must be joking." Gamora said, not liking that idea.
"No, I really heard they find you attractive." Rocket said.
"Look, it's 20 feet up in the air, and it's in the middle of the most heavily-guarded part of the prison. It's impossible to get up there without being seen." Peter said.
"I got one plan, and that plan requires a frickin' quarnyx battery, so figure it out! Can I get back to it? Thanks. Now, this is important. Once the battery is removed, everything is gonna slam into emergency mode. Once we have it, we gotta move quickly, so you definitely need to get that last." Rocket said.
Unaware to the trio, Groot, without warning, extended himself and pulled the quarnyx battery out as Drax watched. As Rocket predicted, the power source caused the Kyln to switch to emergency power and alarms goes off.
At a guard room, Daranak and Salzer hears the alarms, realizing it's time.
"Here we go, Salzer." Daranak said.
"Let's do it." Salzer said as she and Daranak runs off.
Back at the main room, Rocket shake his head at Groot's stubbornness.
"Or we could just get it first and improvise." Rocket said.
"I'll get the armband." Gamora said.
"Leg." Peter said.
Gamora and Peter runs to do their self-appointed tasks as Rocket groans in frustration. Meanwhile, armed-drones flies in and surrounds Groot.
"Prisoner, drop the device immediately and retreat to your cell, or we will open fire." the guard at the watchtower warned.
Groot however growl and makes himself taller.
"I am Groot!" Groot yelled.
"Fire!" the watchtower guard ordered.
The drones then fire their machine guns at Groot. Groot slams one of the drones to the ground while other prisoners take cover.
"All prisoners return to your sleeping areas." the watchtower guard ordered.
Rocket then climbed onto Groot's shoulders.
"You idiot! How am I supposed to fight these things without my stuff?" Rocket yelled.
As Groot tries to hold of the drones, more guards came to stop him.
"The animal is in control. Fire on my command!" one guard ordered.
Before the guards can fire their weapons, Drax attacks them. One guard was about to attack Drax, until suddenly, Daranak and Salzer came to his aid. The guards were taken by surprise before trying to attack them. Daranak fired a yellow ecto-blast at one guard before firing another on one of the weapons. He then use his telekinesis powers to throw another guard away.
"What the heck are you two doing?!" one guard asked.
"I need these people alive." Daranak said before blasting the guard.
Meanwhile, Salzer was using her martial arts skills to fend off some guards. Salzer wrapped her legs around one guard's waist before managing to flip him over. Salzer then send a ecto-blast to blast a weapon away from a guard that was about to shoot her. Salzer then swung her legs and send a ecto-blast at that very guard. Salzer then came face-to-face with another guard, who flirted with her the night before.
"Come on, babe. No need to do this and be all feisty. That's not how you should operate, cutie." the guard said, trying to flirt once more.
Salzer took that to disgust before she gave the guard a powerful right hook before using her telekinesis powers to throw him away.
"I'm not your babe, creep." Salzer said, tired of the flirting.
Meanwhile, Drax managed to take out all the guards and grab a weapon before facing Groot and Rocket.
"Creepy little beast!" Drax said, gaining Rocket's attention.
Drax then threw the weapon and Rocket caught it.
"Oh, yeah." Rocket said.
Rocket then shot at the drones like a maniac, laughing as he's taking them down.
Meanwhile, Gamora punch one guard before kicking another. One guard tried to shoot a blast at her, but she managed to evade. Gamora then knock out one guard before grabbing a hold of the others arm.
"I'll need this." Gamora said, referring to the security band.
"Good luck. It's internally wired." the guard said.
"I'll figure something out." Gamora said before she painfully extract the security band from the guard's arm.
Meanwhile, Peter managed to get the prosthetic leg and was running towards the watchtower until he was stop by a guard, telling him to drop the leg and head back to his cell. Peter managed to take out the guard with the leg before grabbing a weapon and fired at the drones. Rocket, with the help of Daranak and Salzer, managed to destroy the drones and take out the guards.
"Rocket!" Gamora called
Gamora threw the security band to Rocket, which he caught it.
"Move to the watchtower!" Rocket ordered.
"You heard him!" Daranak said.
"Move it!" Salzer said.
Everyone starts heading towards the watchtower, Gamora jumping over railings, Daranak and Salzer flying to the entrance, and Groot extending himself before Peter starts to climb on him. One drone was about to fire on Peter, but was destroyed by Drax.
"You! Man who has lain with an A'askavariian!" Drax said.
"It was one time, man." Peter said before Drax started to climb on Groot towards the watchtower.
Meanwhile, in the watchtower, the guard was calling for reinforcements until he looks behind in fear. He sees Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, Drax, and to his surprise, Daranak and Salzer standing together at the entrance. The guard raises his hands as the group approach him. Gamora moves him out of his seat.
"Sorry we have to do this." Salzer said, before the guard was thrown out by Groot.
"You better hurry before reinforcements gets here." Daranak said to Rocket
As Rocket gets to work on hacking the tower's controls with the armband and battery, Gamora noticed Drax was with the group and glares at him.
"Spare me your foul gaze, woman." Drax warned.
"Why is this one here?" Gamora asked.
"We promised him he could stay by your side until he kills your boss. I always keep my promises when they're to muscle-bound whack-jobs who kill me if I don't. Here you go." Peter said, giving Rocket the leg.
"What's the leg for?" Daranak asked.
"Rocket said he needs the leg." Peter said.
"Oh, I was just kidding about the leg. I just need these two things." Rocket chuckled.
"What?" Peter and Daranak said.
"No, I thought it'd be funny. Was it funny? Oh, wait, what did he look like hopping around?" Rocket laughed.
"That's cruel." Salzer said.
"I had to transfer him 30,000 units!" Peter said, upset by Rocket's joke.
Meanwhile, more drones arrived and fire on the bullet-proof windows.
"How are we going to leave?" Drax said.
"Well, he's got a plan. Right? Or is that another thing you made up?" Peter asked.
"I have a plan! I have a plan! Tell the Nova Twins, they're the ones who told me about how to get the stuff to get out." Rocket said.
"Hey, don't take this on us, we provide you with what you need, not how to get out at this point." Daranak said.
"Cease your yammering and relieve us from this irksome confinement." Drax said.
"Yeah, I'll have to agree with the walking thesaurus on that one." Peter said.
"Do not ever call me a thesaurus." Drax said.
"It's just a metaphor, dude." Peter said.
"Seriously, do you know anything about metaphors?" Daranak asked.
"His people are completely literal. Metaphors are gonna go over his head." Rocket said.
"Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it." Drax said.
"Your reflexes can't even catch a metaphor, what are you talking about?" Daranak asked.
"I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiots in the galaxy." Gamora muttered.
"I know how you feel, Gamora." Salzer said, also getting annoyed.
Meanwhile, more prison guards arrived at the watchtower area and line up to aim their weapons.
"Those are some big guns." Peter said.
"Rocket, hurry up!" Salzer said.
"And our intangibility powers aren't gonna work in this case either." Daranak said.
Outside, the high rank guard was shouting out orders.
"On my command! Number one!" the lead guard said.
The guards fire a shell on the watchtower, damaging the glass.
"Rodent, we are ready for your plan." Gamora said.
"Hold on!" Rocket said.
"I recognized this animal. We'd roast them over a flame pit as children. Their flesh was quite delicious." Drax said.
"Not helping!" Rocket yelled.
"And quite gross!" Salzer said.
Before the guards can destroy the glass, Rocket, using the security band and battery, managed to shut off all the gravity outside the watchtower, making the guards, drones and prisoners float up to zero gravity. Gamora became impressed.
"He turned off the artificial gravity, everywhere but in here." Gamora said.
"I didn't know that could happen." Daranak said.
"Me neither." Salzer said.
Rocket then activated the drones and make them attach around the watchtower before using them to fly the tower out of the prison area.
"I told you I had a plan." Rocket said.
"Impressive." Salzer said.
Rocket then flew the tower before coming to a halt at the main hall and Rocket close the doors.
"That was a pretty good plan." Peter said.
"Huh?" Rocket muttered in confusion.
Once everyone got out of the tower, Peter look out the window to see his M-ship, everyone's ticket to freedom.
"Okay, grab your belongings and find a way out of here." Daranak said.
"Do we have something to fly out, Peter?" Salzer asked.
"Yeah! There it is. Get my ship. It's the Milano, the orange and blue one over in the corner." Peter said, pointing at his M-ship.
"On it." Daranak said as Salzer and himself went intangible before flying to the Milano.
"They crumple my pants up into a ball. That's rude! They folded yours." Rocket complained.
Peter then checks his stuff as Gamora noticed the Orb in a knapsack.
"The Orb's there. Let's go." Gamora said.
Peter however noticed that the Mean Guard did not put his Walkman back.
"Wait, wait, wait." Peter said.
"What?" Gamora asked.
"That bastard didn't put it back." Peter said.
"Put what back?" Gamora asked.
"Here." Peter said as he hands Gamora the bag. "Daranak and Salzer are already on the ship. Get the others there. I will be right back." Peter said.
"How are you gonna possibly..."
"Just keep the Milano close by. Go. Go!" Peter said as he runs off.
A few minutes later, Peter now wearing his Ravager uniform and helmet, use his Quad Blasters to take out more guards. Outside, the Milano flies out before floating nearby to wait for Peter.
"Is he insane?!" Salzer asked.
"Well, how's he gonna get to us?" Rocket asked.
"He declined to share that information with me." Gamora replied.
"Well, screw this, then! I ain't waiting around for some hummie with a death wish. You got the Orb, right?" Rocket said.
"Yes." Gamora said as she checks the knapsack before realizing the Orb is not inside.
Back inside the Kyln, Peter has the Orb as he approaches the Mean Guard who has his Walkman. The Mean Guard managed to see Peter before he is knock out by the Orb.
Back outside, the others are definitely waiting for Peter, now knowing that he has the Orb. Daranak, Gamora and Rocket were also arguing.
"We're not leaving Peter behind!" Daranak said.
"If we don't leave now, we will be blown to bits." Rocket said.
"No! We're not leaving without the Orb." Gamora said.
Drax then noticed a figure exiting out the Kyln out the window.
"Behold." Drax said.
Everyone looks out to see Peter flying his jet boot attachments towards the Milano.
"That crazy son of a gun." Daranak said.
A few seconds later, everyone help Peter board the M-ship, as he deactivates his helmet.
"This one shows spirit. He shall make a keen ally in the battle against Ronan. Companion, what were you retrieving?" Drax asked.
Peter didn't reply and hands Drax his Walkman.
"You're an imbecile." Drax said.
"What is it?" Salzer asked as she grabs the Walkman and looks at it.
"No time for questions, everyone. Peter, fly us out of here." Daranak said.
Peter then pilots the Milano out of the Kyln with his new and unusual allies, including the famous Nova Twins.
And that's the end of this chapter. Well, since Daranak and Salzer help out with the escape, what will happen now that they;re AWOL from the Nova Corps? And how they will help their new and unusual outlaw allies? Will they be able to get along with them as they try to help on figure out the Orb and find out what Ronan is up to? Find out in the next chapter. Please review. :)
