The Milano

Peter was nervous as he debated what to wear for this date with Gamora, as he desperately wanted to make a good impression, after a few minutes of debate in his mind, Peter finally chose what to wear and got ready for dinner.

Peter took a deep breath to calm his nerves, knowing in his heart that this date with Gamora would go well. After everything that happened ever since the team went to help the Sovereign deal with the Abilisk on their home world, Peter knew the team needed a break and was happy he and Gamora had finally admitted their feelings for one another.

With that Peter left his room and left the Milano.

Gamora was waiting for him near the ship, wearing the same attire she wore after the Guardians defeated Ronan and were honoured by the Nova Corps.

The two of them held hands, as Peter led the way to the restaurant where he made the reservations earlier in the day.

A few minutes later, they were at the restaurant and sat down as a member of staff came over to take their orders.

Once the orders were taken Peter said to Gamora, "I've been here before ever since I first came to Xandar, thought it'd be a nice place for our date."

Gamora smiled and said "It's a nice place."

After a few moments of silence Gamora asked "What do we talk about now?"

Peter made a suggestion by saying "I could tell you a few more legends from Earth maybe one about a great hero called Luke Skywalker."

Gamora nodded as Peter began the story of Star Wars, the film he watched a lot of Earth as a kid with his mom and grandfather.

Peter was up at the point where Darth Vader fought Obi-Wan when their meal arrived, nothing else was said as they tucked in. Both of them liking the food and one another's company.

Once they were done Peter and Gamora went for a walk as he told her how the story of Star Wars ended.

Meanwhile Kazo Sana was loading his rifle and got his sword. He needed to be prepared and waited for Corpsman Makel to inform him when his targets were alone and out of sight before he made his move.

Kazo then got ready for what would be a hard fight, as Makel soon sent word to him. Peter Quill and Gamora were nearby and they were alone. He left the sip and headed to the coordinates he was sent.

Once he got nearby, Kazo looked for the best position where he could ambush them and started to look around for a good place as the targets were too busy talking to notice anything around them.

As Peter told Gamora about another legendary Earth hero, Indiana Jones and his quest for the Ark of the Covenant.

Gamora loved hearing about these Earth legends from Peter. It made sense for Earth to have a lot of planets to explain Peter and her heroics against Ronan, against Ego and every other threat the Guardians had faced since they became a team.

Gamora listened on as Peter told her about the shootout Indiana Jones had with the swordsman when she heard a weapon being fired nearby and saw Peter fall to the ground stunned, Gamora turned around as she saw a man standing in front of her with a sword, in his hand a rifle on his back.

A man she heard about. The bounty hunter Kazo Sana.

Kazo said "Are you going to cooperate, or do I have a fight on my hands?"

Gamora reached into a pocket of her jacket and pulled out her sword Godslayer before she went after Kazo was raised his sword and smiled. He had been looking forward to this fight.

'It's been so long since I had a good fight.' Kazo thought to himself.

Gamora went on the attack, as Kazo blocked her attack and retaliated with a strike of his own as Gamora dodged it. Kazo jumped away as he avoided a stab to the back. Kazo said "I'm just getting started."

Kazo took out another sword and went back on the attack. The fight was evenly matched for several minutes as Kazo used a stun mine he planted nearby as soon as Gamora was close to it to knock her out.

As Gamora fell to the ground, Kazo smirked. He stunned Peter Quill again to keep him out cold as he dragged, the unconsciousness Gamora back to the Chaser and put her in the holding cell, before going back for Quill.

When he got there Peter was getting up and had his blaster out. Kazo took out his own rifle and said "Stand down Peter Quill. The bounty said I had to bring you and Gamora in alive. It didn't say you had to be intact."

Peter looked at the merc and said angrily "I try to have a date with a woman I love and somehow end up fighting a Boba Fett knockoff."

Kazo didn't respond not wanting to know who or what a Boba Fett was and opened fire. Using his jet Boot peter dodged the shot, but Kazo shot the boots quickly taking him down as he shot Peter again, stunning him in short order.

Kazo started to bring him back to the ship as he muttered "You're predictable Quill."

Once Kazo was back on the Chaser, he put Quill in the holding cell with Gamora as he got the ship ready to leave Xandar, he contacted his employer and said "I have the targets. I'll bring them to you in the next day. Have my money ready."

His employer said "Very good. Rest assured, your money will be waiting."

Once the call was ended, the Kree commander turned to his men and said "Get everything ready. We're about to have some guests."

The chaser soon left Xandar and headed to where the Kree were at this military outpost.

A half hour later, Drax and the others tried to contact Peter and Gamora but got no response. Nova Prime had Nova Corpsmen look for them but all they found were their com-links on the ground near a dock.

Nova Prime was furious that two of the team who saved Xandar from Ronan the Accuser had been abducted right under their nose and once it was reported that surveillance in the area was down when this occurred, only told Nova Prime one thing.

There was a traitor in the Nova Corp. Once Rocket told Yondu what happened, the man was mad with rage and swore whoever abducted his son would die at his hands.
