Chapter 13: Guardians Pardoned.

It's been four Earth days since the Battle of Xandar. In the past four days since the end of the battle, Peter, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Daranak and Salzer has been giving medical attention and care from the Nova Corps. Daranak and Salzer then went on to explain to the Nova Prime about their actions in the past week and why they went AWOL and help the group of former outlaws. Irani understands why the Xander twins did what they did, and due to their heroism during the battle with their friends, Irani promoted Daranak and Salzer to the rank of Denarian. The group, now calling themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy, was in the Nova Corps Headquarters with Irani and Rhomann where Peter has learn about his true heritage from the Nova Corps while Gamora, Daranak and Salzer, both wearing their Nova Corps dress uniforms and proudly displaying their Denarian insignas, were listening in the conversation.

"Why would you even know this?" Peter asked.

"When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system, so we had it checked out." Rhomann said, showing Peter a hologram of his nervous system.

"I'm not Terran?" Peter asked, couldn't believe what he was hearing or seeing.

"You are half Terran. Your mother was of Earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen here before." Irani said.

"That could be why you were able to hold the Stone for as long as you did." Gamora said.

"Well, Peter, you one of us." Daranak said.

"Yeah, you're a hybird like Daranak and I. I never thought that can happen to a Human." Salzer said.

"Yeah, but I'm not half ghost like you two." Peter said.

"Well, I don't think a half Human-half ghost hybird can exist, but still, you're one of us, a hybird. Half and half." Daranak said.

A door opens and came Drax and Rocket, who was holding a piece of Groot in a plant pot.

"Your friends have arrived. On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Denarian Dey, he has something to show you." Irani said, thanking the Guardians of the Galaxy.

"Thank you, Nova Prime." Peter said before following Rhomann. Gamora, Drax, and Rocket followed as well.

"Your wife and child shall rest well knowing you have avenged them." Gamora said.

"Yes. Of course, Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos I need to kill." Drax stated.

Meanwhile, Daranak and Salzer were watching their friends leaving the building. They look in sadness but then they look at each other realizing that their potential to save the galaxy and not just the Nova Empire was slipping away. They nod to each other before approaching Irani.

"Nova Prime." Daranak called.

"Yes, Denarian Xander." Irani said.

"My sister and I have learn a lot this past week with these guys, and have been thinking about our future in the past few days since the battle. My sister and I realized that she and I discover we have more potential with our ghost powers than we originally thought. Ever since my sister and I gained our ghost powers, she and I thought that we can use them to protect the Nova Empire, especially Xandar, from ghost attacks and the Kree Empire, but after spending with these former outlaws, we discover that we can use them for a greater purpose than just defending the empire." Daranak said.

"We realized how much we can do to protect the galaxy with our ghost powers, and with our new friends, it can happen." Salzer said.

"Nova Prime, Salzer and I would like to resign from the Nova Corps for we are looking to permanently join the Guardians of the Galaxy." Daranak said.

"I thought you two would say that and I can let that happen. You two are incredible individuals and have done so much for the Nova Corps and Xandar owes you two a unpayable gratitude. Even if you two leave the Corps, you two will always be Denarians and Nova Corpsmen to us. Now, I believe you should head for your friends." Irani said with a smile.

"Thank you, Nova Prime." Daranak said, shaking Irani's hand.

Salzer gave Irani a hug, which she return back.

"Thank you, Nova Prime." Salzer said.

"If there's any ghost attacks, you can send us a message anytime." Daranak said.

"Sure thing." Irani said.

Daranak and Salzer then left the Nova Corps headquarters.

"Looks like a new chapter is beginning in our lives." Salzer said.

"Yeah, but I'm sure gonna miss being in the Nova Corps." Daranak said.

"Yeah, I enjoy being a Corpsman, but now we have a greater responsibility and made new friends." Salzer said.

"And increases your chances of visiting Earth someday." Daranak said.

"Yeah, definitely." Salzer said with a smile.

Daranak and Salzer caught up with the others and told them that they are joining them, which earn smiles from them. The Guardians of the Galaxy went outside where Rhomann shows them a fully repaired Milano.

"We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible. We salvaged as much as we could." Rhomann said.

"Wow. I... Thank you." Peter said, amazed by the Milano's repairs.

"I have a family. They're alive because of you." Rhomann said, which everyone smile. "Your criminal records have also been expunged. However, I have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future."

"Question. What if I see something that I want to take, and it belongs to someone else?" Rocket asked.

"You will be arrested." Rhomann said.

"But what if I want it more than the person who has it?" Rocket asked.

"It's still illegal." Rhomann replied.

"That doesn't follow. No, I want it more, sir. Do you understand?" Rocket said before seeing Gamora laugh. "What are you laughing at? Why? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?" Rocket said before leaving with Gamora to the Milano.

"What if someone does something irksome and I decide to remove his spine." Drax said, making Rhomann uncomfortable and Daranak to touch his spine.

"That's... That's actually murder. It's one of the worst crimes of all. So... also illegal." Rhomann said.

"Hmm." Drax hummed before heading to the Milano.

"They'll be fine, Dey. The Nova Twins and I are gonna keep an eye on 'em." Peter said.

"You?" Rhomann asked.

"Yeah. Me." Peter said before heading for the Milano.

"Don't worry, Dey. They'll be fine. Besides, we'll be there to make sure they don't do anything bad." Daranak said.

"Yeah, besides, they have a second chance now." Salzer said.

"Well, I wish you two good luck. Glad to fight alongside you two." Rhomann said.

"Congrats on the promotion." Daranak said.

"We'll try to contact you from time to time. Say hi to your family for us." Salzer said.

"Sure thing." Rhomann said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone boards the Milano. Peter then opens a shelf to see the last present his mother gave to him 26 years ago. He unfolds the note that was included in the present and reads it.

"Peter, I know these last few months have been hard for you. But I'm going to a better place. And I will be okay. And I will always be with you. You are the light of my life. My precious son. My little Star-Lord. Love, Mom." the note read.

Peter then unwraps the present after 26 years. He looks to see a cassette tape labeled 'Awesome Mix Vol. 2'. Peter then plays the tape and listens to the hit song 'Ain't no Mountain High Enough' by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Peter then sees Gamora smiling at him, and Peter smiles back. Daranak and Salzer smiles at their new friends, knowing a bright future is in store for them and themselves.

On the Eclector, Yondu opens the Orb that Peter gave him, only to reveal that the Orb contained a troll doll. Instead of being angered however, Yondu began laughing and kept the doll as a souvenir.

At the Nova Corps Headquarters, Irani places the actual Orb that contains the Power Stone in a vault before returning to work.

Elsewhere, Rhomann returns to home to be greeted by his half Krylorian-Xandarian daughter and his Krylorian wife.

Back at the Milano, everyone was ready to leave Xandar, strapped to their seats as Gamora approaches Peter, and Rocket nods Drax before noticing that Baby Groot was finally waking up and regenerating, giving Rocket his closest friend again, and Daranak and Salzer, in their Xandarian forms and regular attire, smiling and high-fiving each other.

"So, what should we do next? Something good? Something bad? A bit of both?" Peter asked, making Daranak and Salzer chuckle.

"We'll follow your lead, Star-Lord." Gamora said.

"Bit of both." Peter said.

"Hopefully not too bad." Salzer said.

"You said it." Daranak said.

Peter then pilots the Milano, and the group starts their new adventure as the Guardians of the Galaxy.

And that's the end of this story. Well, a new era begins for the ghost fighting superheroes and half Xandarian-half ghost hybirds Daranak and Salzer Xander/Nova and our beloved former outlaws.
