A massive planet is shown on the screen. The words '26 Years Later' are written in white block letters. They disappear and are replaced with the words "Morag, Abandoned Planet".
"Space! Awesome! I want to go to space!" Peter said excitedly.
"You've been to space already." Tony said. "And it didn't end well."
"It would be safer now that that big purple jerk is out of the way." Peter shrugged. "No offense." He said to Nebula and Gamora.
"None taken." Gamora said.
"I've call him a lot worse." Nebula said at the same time.
"How many planets are there?" Shuri asked Quill.
"Uh… I… dont know…" Quill shrugged. "Millions."
"Millions!?" Shuri squealed.
"And to think seven years ago we thought we were alone in the universe." Tony said thoughtfully.
"Ha! Humans are so adorable and naive." Thor laughed.
A small orange and blue ship landed on the planet. Loud thunder clapped in the background and harsh wind and rain poured down. The now older Peter Quill stepped out of the spaceship and took a long look around. He was wearing a long trench coat of some sort, and a high-tech helmet covering his face. He walked forward, struggling to not fall over from the harsh conditions of the planet. He stumbled forward until he found what appeared to be a rundown old building.
He took out a small rectangular device. He hit the sides of a couple times and a blue light flickered for a moment before the end of the device ignites like a taser. It shone a blue light on everything, and whenever the blue light touches an old run-down area it was replaced by a holographic version of what it looked like when it was new.
The hologram showed children as they ran and played in the street, there were dogs fetching sticks, and parents buying stuff at the marketplace. Peter pushed another button and a red line goes across the ground and into the main building.
Peter stuffed the device in his pocket and cautiously stepped through the old broken doorway. He looked around the eerie and dangerous area slowly. He tapped the side of his helmet and the entire helmet folds back and disappears as he looked around the building with a smirk on his face.
Peter grabbed his orange headphones and put them on before tapping the On button of the Walkman that was attached to his belt.
"What is that?" Steve asked.
"That, my dear friend, is a walkman." Quill grinned. "It's a super high tech piece of human technology that allows you to listen to music. I notice that none of you have any. Must be so expensive and high tech that none of you can afford one."
Everyone (except for the other guardians, Bucky, Steve, and Thor) either groaned or facepalmed.
"It can play music?" Steve asked, amazed.
"Yep." Quill nodded. "All you need is a tape full of your favorite songs and you're all set."
"It's like having a tiny orchestra that you can carry around with you." Thor said, amazed.
"Why dont any of us have one of those, Tony?" Bucky asked.
"Yeah, why dont we?" Steve asked.
It was at this point that Tony was doing everything humanly possible to keep himself from laughing like a crazy person.
"Um… that's not… right... " Shuri said slowly.
"A walkman is the best human invention. Ever." Quill said. "That and my Zoom."
"You use a zoom?!" Tony laughed. He grabbed his stomach and almost doubled over from laughter.
"Yeah? Why?" Quill asked. "A Zoom can contain hundreds of songs."
"I can get over twenty thousand songs on my IPod." Peter said casually.
"Are you freaking kidding me!?" Quill shouted.
"Here. Take a look." Peter said. He took his IPod from his pocket and tossed it to Quill.
"Did he just throw a four hundred dollar IPod?" Clint whispered. Nat shrugged.
"Holy crap!" Quill said as he scrolled through the songs. After a few minutes he slowly looked up. "It's beautiful."
"Let me see." Bucky said.
"No. Mine." Quill said and pulled it close to his chest.
"Actually, it's mine." Peter said.
"Mine." Quill said.
"What have I done?" Peter groaned.
"Peter, give Peter the IPod." Gamora sighed.
"But I dont want to give him my IPod." Peter whined.
"No, the other Peter. Big Peter give little Peter back his IPod." Gamora said sternly. "Dont make me get my taser."
Quill mumbled something incomprehensible and begrudgingly gave Peter back his IPod. "Thank you." Peter said.
"I do not understand." Drax whispered to Mantis. "It does not have any eyes, nor is it a pod."
"Oh for the love…" Gamora groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose.
The song 'Come and Get Your Love' started playing in the background. Peter nodded his head along to the music and walked through the broken building. He started dancing wildly. He dodged traps and jumped over dangerous ravines without even breaking a sweat or stopping his dance. As he frolicked along the words 'Guardians of the Galaxy' appeared above him for a few seconds. Peter skipped through a giant puddle, kicking water everywhere. Little dangerous rat-like creatures came out to attack him, but he kicked them away. Peter smirked and grabbed one and pretended to use it as a microphone as he sang along to the song. He twirled in a circle with his arms outstretched.
"You are a child." Gamora sighed.
"Thank you." Quill said.
"So, you like to dance?" Peter asked.
"Oh, no." Rocket groaned. "You just had to ask him that, didn't you, Hummie? Of all the things you could have asked him… Now he's never gonna shut up."
"Hey." Quill said. "I find that very offensive. And yes, smaller, slightly less charismatic Peter. I do like to dance."
"Good to know." Peter nodded. "Shuri, how many Just Dance games do you own?"
"Five." Shuri said.
"I have three. We'll have a Just Dance marathon after this."
"What's Just Dance?" Quill asked.
"You'll see." Peter grinned.
Peter came across a very deep and long ravine and clicked the back of his heels together. His boots propelled him upwards and he flew across the ravine, all while still singing. He stumbled down on the other side rather ungracefully and danced into a another room.
The music stopped playing as Peter cautiously entered the room and stood before a strange object. It had a purple force shield surrounding it, and a small silver orb floating in the center.
He pulled a small contraption off his belt and set it on the ground in front of the object. The contraption vibrated and made a sucking noise, like that of a vacuum cleaner. The orb was forced out of container and flew into Peter's small contraption.
"What's that orb thing?" Sam asked.
"Thats… uh…" Quill said. "Important."
"Important how?" Nat asked.
"Well…" Quills voice trailed off.
"Quiet, Quill." Rocket said. "Let the Terrans find out about it for themselves."
Peter grabbed the orb off the ground and smirked at it, not noticing the people coming up behind him. Peter turned around to leave but was greeted with three people pointing huge guns at his head.
"Drop it!" The leader, Korath, growled.
"Boo!" Nebula shouted. "I hate him."
"Nebula, that's not very nice." Mantis scolded.
"I hate him too." Gamora said casually.
"Same." Quill said.
"Uh… Hey." Peter said slowly.
"Drop it, now!"
"Hey, cool it man. No problem." Peter tossed it on the ground and raised his hands in the air as someone poked him in the back with their gun. Two of the men stood behind Peter and pointed guns to his head while Korath scooped the orb up and smiled at it. "No problem AT ALL."
"How do you know about this?" Korath growls.
"I don't even know what that is. I'm just a junker, man. I was just… just checking stuff out." Peter shrugged as one on the men poked his back with their gun.
"You don't look like a junker. You're wearing Ravager garb."
"This is just an outfit, man." Peter insisted. One of the guys poke Peter with their gun again. "Ninja Turtle, you better stop poking me."
"Ha! Ninja turtle!" Sam snickered. Bucky and Steve shot each other confused looks.
"Cassie loves that show." Scott said.
"So do my kids." Clint said.
"So do I." Peter said. "I always look for them whenever I'm on patrol, but I haven't found them yet."
"They're not real, Pete." Tony said.
"They are in my heart." Peter sniffed.
"What is your name?" Korath shouted.
"My name is Peter Quill, okay?" Peter yelled frantically. "Dude, chill out."
"Move!" Korath shouts and points toward the exit. The men start shoving Peter along.
"Why?" Peter asked.
"Ronan may have questions for you." Korath growled.
"Hey, you know what? There's another name you might know me by." Peter said quickly as Korath was about to leave. A confident smirk plays on his lips. "Star-Lord."
Korath stared at him like he was insane. "Who?"
Multiple people laughed.
"Do you get that a lot?" Steve chuckled.
"Sadly, yes." Quill sighed.
"Its because having a code name is for losers." Rocket said.
"It is not for losers." Quill said, slightly offended.
"It's a little weird." Drax nodded.
"Superheros are supposed to have secret identities." Quill said.
"Yeah!" Peter cheered.
"None of us have secret identities." Nat shook her head. "We dont do that here."
"What am I, chopped liver?" Peter asked.
"No, you are a Terran child. You are not Liver." Drax said. "You may have a liver, but it is not chopped. It is whole."
"Wha-" Peter said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Just ignore him." Nebula said.
Peter's smile fell. "Star-Lord, man. Legendary outlaw." Korath raised his arms in a confused way. Peter groaned and turned to the other two people. "Guys? You know me, right?"
"Move!" Korath bellowed. Peter dropped his hands to his sides and shook his head.
"Aw, forget this." Peter mumbled bitterly. He pulled a glowing blue orb from his pocket and tossed it behind him, disintegrating the two people behind him
Peter pulled out his guns and fired them, hitting Korath twice in the chest. The silver orb rolled next to Peter's feet and he picked it up.
Korath jumped to his feet and pointed his gun at Peter. Peter looks up in surprise; he had thought Korath had been knocked unconscious.
Peter ducked and landed on his back just as Korath fired his gun. The blast from the gun completely destroyed the wall behind him. Peter activated his boots and flew through the hole in the wall, out into the windy and stormy landscape.
"Awesome!" Peter squealed. "Rocket boots!"
"What are the science behind those?" Shuri asked. "How do the work?"
"I dont know." Quill shrugged. "I bought them. I didn't make -ack!"
Shuri grabbed Quills shoe and pulled it up to her lap to look at it, pulling him out of his chair and sending him crashing to the ground in the process. He landed in an awkward position were he was laying on his back on the floor with Shuri holding one of his feet up.
"I think their powered by thermal radiation… No! There's a slot for a battery!" Shuri gasped as she looked at the boot. "There's a quantum magnet reverser! I didn't know those existed!"
"Do scientists just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything?" Scott asked.
"Can I please have my foot back?" Quill asked from where he was lying on the floor. A few people giggled.
"Of course." Shuri said. She unstrapped his right shoe and pulled it off his foot. "Okay, you can go now." Shuri said as she set it in her lap. "But I'm keeping this."
"My shoe…" Quill said as he sat back in his chair.
"You can have it back when I'm done." Shuri said with a dismissive wave of her hand.
"Oh, can I? Can I have my boot back when your done? Thanks." Quill said sarcastically.
"Peter, let the girl look at the shoe." Gamora said.
"That rocket boot cost me over a hundred thousand credits!" Quill whined.
"It's not like she's going to break it." Gamora said. Just as Gamora said this Shuri broke a large piece off of it.
"Fascinating." Shuri said.
"Great."Quill whispered and sunk into his seat.
Peter hit the ground hard and stumbled to his feet quickly. He ran as fast as he could with Korath chasing after him. Five more people with guns were guarding Peter ship. He threw a small triangular device at them; once it activated it pulled them all together and they were stuck. Peter made it to his ship and dove into the pilot seat, locking it behind him.
Just as Peter started the engine the people he had trapped broke the device that was making them stick together and Korath ran next to them. They got what looked like a canon and pointed it right towards Peters ship as he began to hover above the ground. They shot a giant green ball of energy towards him, but Peter jerked the ship to the left and barely missed it. They continue to shoot after him, and Peter is barely able to dodge it each time. He angleed to ship towards the sky and blasts off as fast as he can.
Peter looks behind him and laughed mockingly as he escaped.
Suddenly the shift is jerked off course when a geyser shot up and hits one of the wings. Peter was thrown back and crashed into the other wall of the ship as it spun out of control. The ship spins and dives in the sky as Peter desperately tries to get to the pilot seat but just gets tossed against the wall repeatedly. After a long struggle he finally grabs onto the back of the pilot seat and was able to grab the controls of the ship right before it crashed. He let out a shaky breath and steers the ship through the sky gently. He sighed and sat down in his seat and rested his head back.
"Yeah! You're such an awesome pilot!" Peter cheered.
"Thank you." Quill said.
"If you think he's a good pilot then youre crazy." Rocket laughed.
After a few moments of silence part of the ships bottom popped open and a girl sat up. Peter jumps back in surprise as the girl took her surroundings. She had light pink skin and messy dark hair.
"Peter?" She asked, a little dazed. "What happened?"
"Hey… uh…" Peter snapped his fingers as he tried to remember her name.
"Bereet." She said.
"Bereet!" Peter smiled and nodded. "Look, I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I forgot you're here."
"Ugh. Peter." Gamora groaned.
"You have issues." Nat sighed.
"What?" Quill asked, stretching the word out.
Bereet tilted her head and gives him a confused and slightly offended look.
