Bounties and Love
Chapter 7 rescue plans and comforting
Author's notes I don't own Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel does.
This fic is set after GOTG Vol 2 and has one big difference from the events of the film.
I want to thank Cheion and Fenrisulven13 for proofreading this chapter and I encourage you all to read their work, you might like it.
Well's that's enough of an Author's notes, on with chapter 7.
Kuatal - Kree Military base
Commander Tar-Voll smiled as Gamora thrashed in the chairs restraints, determined to free herself and kill all of those Kree herself.
Tar-Voll said "Don't you worry. We'll get you soon. Maybe we'll cut off one of your hands as well, so you both can match. Or maybe remove one of your feet? Which would you prefer?"
Tar-Voll looked at Peter and asked "Do you regret killing my brother now Star-Lord?"
Peter said through gritted teeth "Your brother was going to kill millions of people. He was prepared to kill even more. How can you defend him?"
Tar-Voll answered "Ronan was right in what he was going to do. Our weak willed government made a peace treaty with the sworn enemies of the Kree, the Nova Corp. In that war, they killed our father, our uncles, our grandfather, our great grandfather and our great-great-grandfather. 1000 years of war cannot end with a simple peace treaty. It can only end with one side is victorious and the other is wiped from the face of the galaxy. I will finish what my older brother started."
Gamora asked "How does torturing us help you do that?"
Tar-Voll said "Me torturing the two of you and eventually killing you impresses your father Thanos. He's watching what I am doing to you both via hologram. Once your friends show up looking for you, we'll kill them. Take your ship, head to Xandar with my best commandos, get the Infinity Stone they have and use it to destroy Hala and after that destroy Xandar. Then I will give the Infinity Stone to Thanos, he'll allow me to serve as one of The Black Order and carry out his will across the galaxy."
Peter shocked at the declaration said "Why would you destroy your own home world?"
Tar-Voll became enraged and said "My leaders are weak willed. It's time for a change in leadership. Once Hala is destroyed. I will destroy Xandar, war between the Nova Corp and Kree will start again and the people will turn to me, the destroyer of Xandar to lead them to victory in this war. It will be glorious!"
Tar-Voll then went to get some lunch, as another interrogation chair was brought in and put opposite Gamora, as Peter was restrained In it.
Kalix then used his knife on Gamora a few times, stabbing her in the arms and one of her legs before he said "If you two have anything to say to one another say it now. We are still 36 hours away from breaking the previous record."
Kalix headed off to talk to some of the other soldiers as Gamora asked Peter "Are you alright."
Peter said "Aside from losing my hand I'm OK. Are you alright. Having that parasite on your head couldn't have been easy."
Gamora looked away for a moment as Peter said "You can tell me. I've told you of my bad memories."
Gamora looked at him and said "Thanos had me kill a lot of people for him. Some of them were innocent. That parasite made me remember all of it and experience all the pain I done on them."
Peter saw the look her face, one of guilt and said "It wasn't your fault. The blame for that rests with Thanos alone. You had no choice and did what you had to do to survive his cruelty. I swear to you. One he will pay what he has done to you, Nebula and anyone else he has hurt in this galaxy."
Gamora asked "When the Parasite was on you, you saw when your mom died didn't you?"
Peter nodded as Gamora said "I love you and I swear when we get out of here. I will kill every one of those Kree myself."
Peter said "I have no doubt you could do just that."
Meanwhile in another part of the base, Kalix was talking to some of the other officers as one of them said "The commander plans to commit high treason and kill our Emperor. We need to stop him."
Another officer said "The Empeor made a peace treaty with our enemies he is unfit to rule anymore."
The first officer asked "If he dies what, than who rules the Empire. The High Preist?"
Kalix broke his silence by saying "Commander Tar-Voll has proven himself in battle, maybe he should rule the Kree Empire."
The two other officers looked at Kalix in shock as one of them asked "What if he fails? We'll be executed alongside him as traitors to the Empire. Our families will go to prison for 5 generations. Do you want that to happen to your family?"
Kalix said "Of course not. Do you suggest I undermine his plans, betray him?"
Nothing else was said as Kalix headed back to continue the torture while Tar-Voll was in his quarters looking at old childhood holo photos of him and Ronan at the Kree Military Academy with tears in his eyes.
Xandar
The Milano landed at Nova Corp Headquarters where Nova Prime and her top officers were waiting for them.
Rocket told them, what Kazo Sana told them and said "We need your help to rescue Peter and Gamora. We can't take on a Kree military base on our own."
Nova Prime said "If the Nova Corp attack a Kree military base in their borders. It would be an act of war and after what happened with Ronan. We are not strong enough to fight the Kree. I want to help your friends, but I will not start a war that the Nova Corp cannot win."
Drax was angered at this and said "Peter and Gamora helped save all your lives and this is how you repay them."
One of the Nova Corp officers said "What if some of us volunteered to go with them. I gladly will."
Several other Nova Corp made similar declarations and soon Nova Prime gave permission for them to go with the Guardians to Kuatal to rescue Peter Quill and Gamora from the Kree.
Within an hour ten Nova Corp members, among them Denarian Rhomann Dey who wanted to repay his debt to the Guardians for saving his family when Ronan attacked Xandar.
As the Milano left Xandar, everyone on board got ready for what would be the fight of their lives.
