"Rockie, you sure you wanna wear Guardians armour tomthe rally." Lylla asked.

"Yeah, I feel comfortable in it, Lyllie plus it makes me look heroic." he replied.

It was early evening and a few hours before the rally so in Lylla and Rocket's house, they were getting ready but Lylla was surprised by her furboy's choice of attire for this, even though it made him look handsome saying he could wear it later, hearing him chuckle going to change seekng Branchie, Casey alomg with Peach and Raya leaving to set up.

"Have you seen Ranger, he's not here, this isn't good." Zeke told them.

Herbert wondered what was wrong as he'd came to suppirt his prince telling him to take deep-breaths and think about where his brother would go, makijg him realise the community garden madecRanger happy goijg there finding Ranger crying astounding him, knowing he was getting used to his emotions but Ranger was stunned he was here.

"D-Don't you have the rally to worry about." he asked sniffling.

"Yes but we were worried about you, when you ran off, is everything alright." he told him stroking behind his ear which was helping hearing him explaining he was scared in case something happened at the rally making Rocket understand, Ranger was just concerned for his safety.

"I get why you're converned, but being a Guardian, I've faced worse things including Thanos, so a lil presidential rally doesn't scare me but O love you bro, and get why you freaked out." he told him.

"I can take him back tomthe house, good luck." Zeke told him.

"Yeah, let's go but thanks." Rocket told him hugging him.

At the rally, Casey and her friends were riling up the crowd with their music, impressing Lylla and makijg Rocket smirk but saw cops in the shadows scowling, knowing Phillip had sent them whispering to Lylla and Nebula pointing atvthe cops seeing them nod taking care of this seeing Casey give him the thumbs up sign with her paw.

"Good luck bro, kick some political tail." she said before she, alomg with Peach and Raya left tomgo cool down enjoying his speech seeing Half-worlders getting inspired by it unaware Phillip was there and had dirt on him like being related tomHerbert plus had seen his subject mark snd had taken a photo

"Phil, if you're here to cause trouble, just leave, what're you doing." Lylla said as her brother removed the concealer revealing her subject mark making her mad seeing Half-worlders around them gasping, making Rocket annoyed keeping his cool, Phillip wanted him to lose his temper but Lylla being treated like dirt was not okay making a shield in front of her to protect her.

"So, shecwas in the program, a lot of us were so why use this as a dirty trick." he said impressing Lylla then saw him pull up,his sleeve taking off the bandage revealing his subject mark but heard them cheering astounding Phillip as he left.

"This ain't over 89P13, trust me." he hissed in Rocket's ear.

"It's Rocket and bring it on." he replied back seeing him leave relieving Lylla, as that could have been bad but her furboy had handled it very well knowing things would be okay.

"That was brillant, and you handled Phillip without a fight but you okay." Casey heard Zeke askijg Rocket.

"Yeah but thijgs got scary, when he dragged Lylla into thijngs, but it worked out." Rocket told him.

He and the others were hanging out and drinking coffee or tea celebrating about how the rally had went even though Zeke has been concerned when Phillip had shown up but Zele was proud of how things were handled seeing Rocket nodding feeling Lylla hug him checking him for injuries but he was fine making her grin
