New Guy: Chapter 9

Jaro has now pretty much captured everyone. Even as all hope had seemed lost, it wasn't. There was still Star-Lord, who was beginning to wake up from being knocked out. Star-Lord grunted and he had no idea where he was.

"Ugh...where am I?" he moaned as he was waking up, he then just remembered that he had to rescue his friends from that pysho path Jaro. Star-Lord tried opening the shed door, it wouldn't budge. He then tried it a second time, still wouldn't budge. Star-Lord then realized that he was locked inside. He looked around the shed for anything he could use to break down the door, nothing. Nothing but a large power system and some wires.

"I gotta get outta here, Gamora and the others LIVES depend on it!" he said with a serious tone, he then tried to think of a plan to escape. Star-Lord had no sucess, until he finally thought of a solution.

"Yes! I got it! All I need to do is connect my laser gun to the power system's wires and then I can blow myself out." he said, trying best to make his idea sound good. Star-Lord then sighed with disbelief and looked down.

"But if I do that, I could end up getting electrocuted." he said negatively, but Star-Lord knew it was the only way. Even though it sounded dangerous, he had to give it a try. Star-Lord began to hook up his wires from his laser gun into the power system's. He then ran back into the corner he was lying in as quick as he could. Star-Lord covered his ears, and watched his plan work. Sparks started to fly out everywhere and the power system started to spin out of control. Star-Lord closed his eyes as well and put his head down for protection. The system continued to spin, but twice as fast as before. Moments later, the whole shed tumbled down to the ground. Star-Lord, who was protecting himself, crawled out from underneath the destroyed debris and got up on his feet.

"Well, that could've gone better!" he said sarcastically, he then runs through the security gates and heads into the building. Hoping to rescue his poor friends.

Star-Lord has now made it to the Control Center, he then starts to call for his friends.

"GAMORA! ROCKET! DRAX WHERE ARE YOU?!" he yelled, no response, the room is very dark as well so it was kind of hard to see. Star-Lord had no success until a voice breaks out. Star-Lord tries to look around for the voice, but it was still too dark.

"Hello Peter" the voice said, a light then shines on where the voice is coming from. It was Jaro, looking more insidious than ever. Star-Lord turns around to look at the man.

"What do you want Gannon? AND WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS!" he yelled furiously, Jaro didn't seemed threatened by the man. His curiousity made him chuckle.

"Your friends? Ohhhhh, you mean the other guardians. Well they're fine if your asking." he said with a chuckle, as he put his hand down, Star-Lord realized that he still had the Infinity Gauntlet on him.

"The glove, WHERE'D YOU GET IT!" he yelled, Jaro noticed the man's concern, so he decided to tell him.

"I stole it from Thanos you idiot! Where else would I get something so powerful?!" he said greedily, Star-Lord continued to stare at the glove as Jaro chuckled.

"Thanos?" whispered Star-Lord, even though Jaro could still hear him.

"Yeah, I can make it do anything I want. Like, I don't know, THIS!" he says, he then uses the gauntlet to flash a light on Drax, who is located on the left side of the room. Drax is still locked up in his cage, struggling and banging against the bars with anger.

"OR HOW BOUT THIS!" Jaro yelled again, he then flashes a light on Groot, who was stuck inside the tube from earlier.

"Or maybe you'd like something better?" he asked continuously, he flashes another light, this time on Rocket. Rocket was tied to a long red dolly with wheels. His hands, mouth and feet were duct taped tightly. Rocket tried to speak something out, but couldn't.

"MMM! MMPHM!" he yelled through the tape, Star-Lord eyes widened all the way. He never knew Jaro would kidnap his friends like that, especially in this kind of way.

"And last, but not the least, we have the fearful and stunningly attractive, Gamora." he said as he was walking down the steps to the other light that flashed on the woman. She was sitting on a small black stool. Her arms and mouth covered with yellow masking tape. Gamora looked at Star-Lord, and he looked at her, shocked.

"Yeah, she's a real beauty." said Jaro as he was taunting her, Star-Lord glared at him. He wanted to hurt him so bad.

"Tell him Gamora, tell him about US!" Jaro yelled as he pulled the gag off of her mouth. Gamora grunted in pain from the rip, but stops to talk to Star-Lord.

"Peter! It's not what it looks like!" she said, Star-Lord looked at her.

"Not what it looks like? What it looks like is that you and the others got handled with by this crazy jerk!" he said to her as he was pointing his finger at Jaro. Gamora looked at the ground with disappointment.

"I know... but me and him. W-we're not really-" she tried to say before being interrupted by Jaro.

"What? We're not really what? Together?" asked Jaro demandingly, Gamora had fear in her eyes. She saw what this man has done to her friends and herself, so she had no idea of what else he could do.

"So, I went through all this trouble and all of this nonsense, just for you to say it's not working out?" he continued, Gamora was still shaking, she didn't want her or the others to be harmed.

"Well you know what babe? It's over, you and me, we're through!" he yelled with anger, Gamora did the best she could to remain strong.

"Jaro, it's not-" she tried to say before Jaro stops her.

"Oh why don't you just SHUT UP ALREADY!" he yelled as he shoved Gamora to the ground, which causes her to hit her head.

"NO! You monster!" yelled Star-Lord with rage, Jaro saw the man's attitude, he knew it wouldn't be much longer before he gets pounced on.

"Yeah yeah yeah I now Peter I'm a monster. Like you've said a thousand times before." he complained with altitude, Star-Lord wasn't buying it. He was mad and he wasn't gonna let Jaro get away with this. Star-Lord then started to walk over to Jaro to punch him, until he held the Infinity Gauntlet in the air.

"Uh uh uh, one punch and all these freaks are doomed." he said, this causes Star-Lord to stop imediantely. He then looks over at his friends.

"Why are you doing this Jaro? What do you want?" he asked in a non-threatening manner, Jaro looked at him, dead serious.

"It's not what I want Peter, it's what I need." he responded, Star-Lord didn't understand, so Jaro decided to make it a little easy for him.

"You know what? Since you've been so polite to me. I'll make you a deal." he said to him.

"Deal? What kind of a deal?" Star-Lord asked him.

"Simple, if you can snatch this from me you'll get your friends back, but if you fail, you'll get to watch them DIE!" he informed as he held the gauntlet up. Star-Lord was founded puzzled, would he really stand the chance against Jaro? Especially after how he took his friends down?

"So, what do ya say Peter? Jaro asked continuously, Star-Lord stopped for a moment to think. He could take him, hopefully, he then looked over to Rocket, who was still taped to the dolly. It looked like he wanted to try and say something, but didn't.

"Don't do it Quill, please don't do it." he thought to himself, Star-Lord then looked back at Jaro to give him an answer.

"Alright Gannon, you've got yourself a deal." he said to him, Jaro smiled, like he was exctited for him to say yes.

"Excellent" he said as he was putting his fists up, Star-Lord did this as well.

"Whatever you're planning, I'll be ready." he said with courage, Jaro didn't seem to mind his words, all he cared about was the fighting.

"Well, let's dance starboy." he said, insulting him.

"Gladly" Star-Lord said, the two then started running at each other, and began the fight.
