Here we go guys with chapter five and glad this is going well. Yeah, last time we saw Jason and Kara having a little moment to themselves. We also saw Gamora being brought in. At least her shouting at her son for what he did.
How will things go with the team rushing to get things done before mama shows up? Will she understand why Jason did what he did? Why is she upset? And will they get to the DC Universe soon?
Check out the chapter to find out and thanks guys again as always for the support. I appreciate it and happy to read the reviews I have received. Thanks to my friend for his help as well. I appreciate it my friend and hope you all like this.
Now, again and again as I explained this before there will be differences from the game. The timeline will be different, the story will be a little different, and the ending…well somewhat different. But ultimately the happy ending is going to happen. For those who haven't played the game then you won't be spoiled, but for those who have played it don't be spoilers.
Now then, I don't own anything from Guardians of the Galaxy or the DC Universe. Just my OCs and enjoy the chapter everyone.
Chapter V
Xandar (Year 2033)
"Jason, you will return the stone and you will do it right now!" shouted Jason's mother through the video screen that he has in his room.
Gamora contacted her son last night after finding out what he did. She found out through a friend from Earth that one of the Infinity Stones went missing and they were able to trace it back to Xandar. She contacted someone from the planet and found out her son was currently on the planet. How he got the stone she doesn't know, but what she does know is this was very bad.
The stones were all locked up after the war against Thanos. They were to be kept away from the hands of those who might misuse them or worse might use them to harm others. So, when she finds out her son has one of the stones she couldn't help but be furious. Knowing if anyone finds out her son has it then he will be in big trouble.
"Mom, I would love to give back something that you think I took, but I don't have this so-called 'Space Stone' that you keep telling me about," said Jason trying to act innocent in all of this, despite who he is talking to.
"Jason, I told you already. We can track the stone down no matter where it is," a small screen appeared near Gamora where it shows where the stone is at. "And we detect it onboard your ship!"
Jason looks at the screen and shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know anything about that. Maybe it's under my ship. Did you ever think about that?"
Gamora stares at her son looking very upset. "Jason, I can see Groot holding it behind you."
Jason turns around and sees Groot holding the stone in the container they placed it in. "Dude! Not cool man!"
Groot soon realized that Gamora can see the stone and begins walking out of the room. Jason turns to his mother and now realized he has been caught.
"Okay, fine I do have the stone, but in my defense…I did not steal it," Jason replied trying to defend his actions.
"Then how did you end up with it?" Gamora asked waiting for her son's explanation.
Jason explained everything to his mom. How they met the Surfer who he made a deal with. If they defeat Galactus then the Surfer would bring Jason the stone. The one needed to help go into other dimensions or in what he is planning other universes.
"So, you basically told him to steal the stone," said Gamora knowing her son just admitted to stealing the stone or at least being an accomplice to it.
"Technically speaking I asked him to bring me something to help me get to other universes. I did not specifically say it was an Infinity Stone," said Jason who again tried to defend himself. "Also, I'm just borrowing it for a little while. Once I'm done then it will be brought back to you."
Gamora however did not look convinced. Instead she lets out a small sigh and speaks to her son in a calm manner. "Jason, I know you are trying to keep your promise to your girlfriend, but this isn't the way to do it. Borrowed or not you still know the stone is forbidden to use because of how dangerous it is. You cannot control it and for all we know it could send you somewhere else. Now, please return it before anyone else finds out."
Jason knows his mom behind her anger is just worried about them. She has experienced the power of the stones before and how they can harm people if misused. However, he knows he still needs to try. For Kara and to make her happy.
"I promise, I will be careful," said Jason as he tries once more to convince his mother to trust him. "We won't be taking it with us anyways. We will only take enough power to use it to get to where we need to go and then come back. The stone will be here on Xandar for you to pick up. That way no one gets hurt."
"Jason, no," Gamora replied. "You will stay there and when I arrive you will return the stone to where it belongs. Then I will punish you for taking it."
"Um yeah that's um…" Jason moves his hand on the screen and begins shaking it. "Um *static noise* your breaking up mom *more static noise* I think we're going through a tunnel *makes louder static noise* um bye and love you!"
"Jason! Don't you dare hang up on me until I get…" Gamora was cut off when Jason turned off the video.
He turns towards Kara who is standing there looking shocked. "Did you just hang up on your mother?" Kara asked almost as if what Jason did was a crime.
Jason nods in response looking very scared. "Let's hurry and get things done before she gets here and kills us all," said Jason as he ran out of the room. "Aya! Get the ship ready because we got to go soon!"
Meanwhile
"Jason! Jason! He did not just hang up on me!" Gamora shouted as she punches the monitor. "Rocket! Get us to Xandar faster before they can take off!"
"Roger that," shouted Rocket from the cockpit. "Can I also just say you probably should have discipline the kid a little more otherwise he wouldn't be much like his daddy?"
"Rocket! Not now!" Gamora begins walking towards the cockpit, while her sister Nebula and Drax are behind her. "Once we arrive I want you both to shoot down their engines before they can take off."
"You really want us shooting down your son's ship?" Drax asked surprised to hear Gamora ordering them to do that. "You must be really mad for him taking the stone."
"I'm not mad at him for taking it," said Gamora as they continued walking. "I'm worried they might accidentally get send somewhere and we'll never find them."
"I always said he was as reckless as his father for doing these stupid things. Why he should care about keeping his stupid promise is beyond me," said Nebula until Gamora stops in front of her sister.
"There's nothing wrong with making promises for someone you love," said Gamora as she looks down with a sad expression. "Even if it costs you everything…but that's why I want to stop him. His intentions are good, but if he gets hurt I will never forgive myself for not being there."
Gamora took off walking again, while Nebula and Drax stayed behind for a moment. Until they later followed her.
"Jason's promise is very noble and selfless," Drax began. "It reminds me a lot of his father and how he would do anything for Gamora or even us. That's why she is worried about Jason and how she doesn't want him to end up like his father."
Nebula turns to her sister and understood why she is worried. "Well then, let's get there before they can take off."
Gamora gets to her ship and heads inside as she checks the controls. "Rocket, how long will it take us to get to Xandar?"
"Well, it depends. How are you all going to feel when we do multiple jumping?" Rocket asked as the older Groot and Mantis are seen getting into their seats.
Gamora knew doing this will be bad, but at this point she will endure it. "Just do it."
Rocket sighed as he begins punching in the coordinates and get the ship ready. "All right. Hope everyone had a light breakfast."
Xandar
"Are you sure about this?" Kara asked as Jason gets to the cockpit and begins starting the ship. "I mean, I know you want to keep your promise, but not if it means you getting in trouble with your mother."
"It will be fine," said Jason reassuring Kara it will be okay. "She'll be okay once we show her we're okay."
"How do you know this will even work?" Kara asked wondering what the plan is. "I mean, even Strange couldn't figure out which world I came from."
"That's where your ship comes in," said Jason as he shows on a video screen Kara's ship. "Your ship was repaired and Aya was able to gain information off of it. The universe you came from is the same one she is from. So, after combining the data she had from hers and your world we were able to figure out how to get back. Right, Aya?"
Aya began speaking to the two through the ship's computer. "That is correct. The wormhole you came through was scanned, analyzed, and studied by Jason's mother when you first came through here. It was created when an experiment on a planet similar to Krypton occurred. The experiment destroyed the planet, but the data from the experiment was saved on an escape pod."
"So, the wormhole was an experiment gone wrong?" Kara asked surprised to hear this.
"Also correct," Aya continued explaining using a hologram of how the experiment worked. "The scientist was attempting to punch a hole into another dimension to explore and was hoping to do this creating a wormhole. However, the experiment ended up reversing the wormhole and making sure no one on this side could go through it."
"But those from the other side can," Jason finished explaining for Aya. "For years I had her try figuring out a way to reverse this, but the equipment and energy source needed to create another wormhole were unavailable. Not to mention the last one ended up with the planet blowing up."
"That was until I went to Earth and 'borrowed' as my uncle Rocket calls it a special metal that we can use to contain the energy of the Space Stone," Aya shows a simulation of the stone and what it can do. "The stone can act as a new power source, which thankfully we can stabilize and use to make a new wormhole for us to use."
Kara looked at the data and lets out a small sigh of relief. "So, this will finally get me home huh?"
Jason nods in response. "I will have Aya make sure the wormhole appears halfway to the planet where you and Kal were supposed to go to. Otherwise who knows how long it will take us to get to the planet."
Kara nods as she turns to Jason. "Thank you again for doing this," she then turns to Aya. "Thank you also for your help, Aya. I appreciate it."
"It is no problem," said Aya who didn't need to be thanked. "I am just glad to have been able to help Jason get you home. It will also be nice to return home and find out more about…what I am and why I was made."
Jason began smiling softly. "Whatever happens just know we will still love you Aya and will be glad you are part of the team."
"Thank you, Jason," said Aya as she began going over her calculations.
Jason turns to Kara and sighed. "Better get the others onboard and get going before mom shows up."
Meanwhile
Rachel is seen lifting some crates into the cargo room, while making sure not to strain herself too much. Ever since she was born her powers were much stronger than her mother when she was young. She was very gifted, but it also made her dangerous since as a baby she didn't know what she was doing. So, if she accidentally hurt someone she wouldn't be aware of it.
That's why her mother worked hard to make sure she was in control of her powers and make sure she doesn't lose control. After a few years she was able to be in full control over them, until that night when her mother died and she became infused with the…Rachel stopped when she remembered that night and how it felt like it happened yesterday. She's glad she met Jason and how he took her in despite how dangerous she is.
All the more motivation to control her powers and make sure she doesn't hurt anyone. "Raquel, ¿estás bien?" Laura asked breaking Rachel's thoughts.
Rachel turns to Laura and nods in response. "I'm fine, don't worry about it," she replied as she continued to work on her crates, while glazing at the girl.
Laura is seen sitting on a crate reading a book, while her mask is off. All while using her claws to stab a fruit near her, lift it up, and take a bite out of it.
Rachel smiled at her and couldn't help but think back at how she met the girl. Jason brought her with him after coming back from Earth, how she is the daughter of Logan. She remembered him and how he was a nice but quiet old man that lived in the mansion. She was glad to hear he took care of the professor, but was sad to hear they were both gone.
Laura decided to join them and it was Rachel's job to look out for her. Teach her to be more open, to calm down, and help her with anything she needed.
"I am Groot," Rachel turns to Groot who came into the room with two large containers. "I am Groot?"
Rachel points to near the crates. "Just leave them there Groot and I'll sort them out. By the way, have you seen Arthur?"
"I am Groot," Groot replied as he sets the containers down. "I am Groot."
"So, he went to see his mom before leaving huh?" Rachel knew Arthur was close to his mother and would keep in touch with her wherever they go. "Did he say he would go see his dad too?"
Groot shook his head in response. "I am Groot."
Laura turned away from the book to Groot. "Por qué no quiere ver a su padre?" Laura asked. "Sé que los dos no están cerca, pero todavía debe querer verlo, ¿verdad?"
Rachel knew the relationship with Arthur and his father was not…perfect. Arthur's mother became pregnant with him a month before his father left for a journey. One that his mother decided she would not wait for him anymore. Never told him she was pregnant until Arthur was born and his powers began developing.
Despite this though Arthur never got close to his dad and didn't want to live with him like he wanted. He favored more his mother and would rather live the life of a mortal than a God.
"It's complicated Laura," said Rachel who tried to explain this as best she could to her friend. "I'll tell you about it later."
A bright light is seen outside of the ship as Arthur appeared returning from seeing his mother. "Are we ready to go?" he asked as walked into the ship.
"Almost," said Rachel as she picks up the sphere that was near her. "Groot brought this to me and said we need to leave it to the Nova Corps before we take off."
Arthur took the sphere and examined it. "I take it we got the energy needed for this plan to work?"
Rachel nods in response. "Yeah and we better hurry soon before we get caught."
"I'll go leave this then and then we can get going," said Arthur before turning to Rachel. "Do you think this will work?"
Rachel turns to Arthur and smiled. "Well, only one way to find out."
A few minutes later
The Quadrant ship that belongs to the Guardians of the Galaxy appeared as it heads towards the planet of Xandar. Gamora, Drax, and Nebula got into their M-ships. They are prepared to stop Jason and his team from using the stone. Rocket, Groot, and Mantis remain onboard the ship to be ready to help bring in the ship once it's damaged.
"All right. Rocket, be ready to let me know when they are taking off," said Gamora as she takes the lead.
Rocket was able to detect where the ship was at thanks to the tracker they placed on Jason's ship. "I already got a lock on him. It looks like he is taking off and is going into orbit soon."
"Good," Gamora gets her weapons armed. "Nebula, Drax get ready. Here they come."
They got a lock on the ship and prepared to intercept, when suddenly the ships stopped moving. Even the main ship stopped and the power began shutting down.
"What the hell is this?" Gamora asked as she sees a green glow appear on the screen. "Aya, how did you?"
"I found the tracker you placed on the ship and was able to use the signal to bounce off of to hack into the ships," Aya explained. "I do apologize for doing this, but Jason didn't want you to stop them from doing this. I hope you will understand."
"Rocket, can you get us freed?" Drax asked unable to fly his ship.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Rocket asked as he tries hacking his way through Aya's system, but she keeps blocking him. "I didn't think she would be this good. I mean, I taught her how to do a lot of hacking, but didn't expect it to be this good."
"Maybe it didn't help that you also trained her how to hack into Stark's stuff, which most likely gave her more information about this. You dumbass," said Nebula as she insulted Rocket.
Rocket though saw no problem in that. "I still stand by my decision on her doing that, especially how it gave us some cool stuff."
"Aya, you free our ships right now or I'll scrap you down for parts," Gamora threatened until Jason appeared on the screen.
"I'm sorry about this mom, but please understand I'm not a kid anymore. I know what I'm doing and I promise we will be careful," said Jason as he gives her a small smile. "The stone is on Xandar and you guys can use it to find us after we get Kara home. Until then…I love you mom and I hope you won't be too mad when we get back."
Before Gamora could say anything the transmission was cut off and she sees Jason's ship firing something. It creates a wormhole and the ship flies through it vanishing before her eyes. Once they were gone the ships returned to normal. They got control over them again and the crew all looked on sad at what happened.
"They're gone," said Mantis who felt sad. "Will they be okay?"
Gamora who had her eyes closed after they left soon opened them and sighed. "They better. Otherwise I'll go after them myself," she said as she begins flying towards Xandar.
As she does she looks down at a picture of her with Jason and Peter. Taken when their son was at a young age and how happy they all looked. Peter reassuring them everything will be okay and anytime he leaves he promises to come back. Hearing her son say those words made her feel both happy, but worried at the same time.
"Jason, please be careful. I don't want to lose you…like I lost your father."
All right so that's the end of the chapter. Yep, the crew is now off to the DC Universe and hope everyone likes how things went. I'm sure many are wondering what happened to Peter and why I didn't keep him alive. Would you be more upset if I told you my original idea was to have both parents be dead?
I bet you would be upset. I went with this route and hope you all are okay with this. Don't worry though I won't kill off Gamora like Marvel killed off Yondu. I have plans for her and the team.
Anyways, how will things go with the team going to the DC Universe? How will things go when Kara finds out what her cousin did? How many years will it be? And at what moment in the game will they appear?
Check out the next chapter to find out and if you all liked how this went then please leave some reviews. If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review please. Those are not welcomed around here. I'll see you guys next time and take care.
