Chapter 3 is here.
I only own my original character, nothing else. I also don't own the name Infinity as well.
It was slaughter on the Ravager ship, they were killing allYondu's loyalists, sending them out into the emptiness of space, one by one. All but Yondu's first mate, Kraglin Obfonteri, who spoke up against Yondu, but he had never imagined it would lead to a full on mutiny.
Yondu just slumped in the chair that he was tied to, not even looking at his crew, who begged for him to help them. Rocket was tied up to another chair, and Groot was trapped in a birdcage, being tormented by a certain Ravager.
Nebula and Finn were in the back, watching everything transpire. Finn seemed to be guilty over the men dying and allowing Rocket and Groot, mostly Groot, getting captured.
"I'm sorry Rocket," he said to him using telepathy. "I'll be going with Nebula. But I have an idea as to how you, Yondu and Groot can escape."
"How?," he asked.
"Yondu will explain."
He then turned his attention to the said person. "Yondu, I know for a fact that your prototype fin is still in your old quarters."
Yondu said nothing, or even looked at him.
"You okay?," Nebula asked all of a sudden just as the mohawk Ravager went over to Yondu.
"Yeah, it's just that some of those men were old friends of mine," he answered quietly, she nodded in understanding then they both turned their attention to the new captain.
"It's time for the Ravagers to once again Rose to glory!! With a new captain, Taserface!!!," he yelled and everyone cheered, but then they all stopped as they heard Rocket was laughing.
"I'm sorry, sorry. Your name, it's Taserface?," he asked.
"That's right," Taserface said.
"Do you shoot tasers out of your face?"
"Its metaphorical!!," he yelled and the crew cheering again.
"How is that metaphorical?," Finn asked and Nebula shrugged.
"For what?," Rocket asked.
"For... it is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of anyone that hears it!," he answered, earning only some murmurs.
"Okay, okay then."
"Shut up! You're next."
Taserface got a knife out and put it to Yondu's neck. "Yondu, I've been wanting to do this-," he then stopped after hearing Rocket snickering. "What?!"
"I am sorry! I am so sorry! But I'm just imagining you waking up and looking into the mirror and getting all serious and saying, 'You know what would be a really kick ass name? Taserface!!!," Rocket said, earning snickers among the Ravagers. "That's how I hear you in my head. What was your second choice? Scrotum Hat?!"
There was then an uproar of laughter, even Groot began laughing, and Nebula and Finn gave out slight chuckles. Then Taserface put the knife to Rocket's neck.
"New plan! We're killing you first!"
"Well dying certainly is better than having to live an entire life as a moronic shitbag who thinks that Taserface is a cool name," Rocket commented. That was when Nebula pitched in.
"That's enough killing for today," she said walking up to Taserface. The Ravagers seemed to be very scared, since she was the daughter of Thanos.
"I thought you were the biggest sadist in the galaxy," Taserface said.
"That was when Daddy was paying my bills," she said. "The Priestess wants to kill the fox herself. And he has bounties on his head in at least 12 Kree provinces. I assure you, I'm not as easy a mark as an old man without his magic stick or a talking woodland beast, Finn is even more so than me. If choosing between the two of us, I'd choose him to be afraid of. We want 10% of the take each, and I want a few other things."
This surprised Finn, but he went with it. After getting new clothes, and a new left hand, Kraglin led her and Finn to the docking bay. Nebula began testing out her new hand.
"We have a whole box of hands if that one don't work out," Kraglin said.
"It's fine," she said back.
"So you think that them Kree is gonna execute the captain?"
"The Kree have been known to be merciful to their own kind," Finn said.
"Well, this is the best ship we got, Ego's planet is in the nav. We'll wire you both your 10% once we's paid. What are you gonna do with your share?"
"When I was a child, my father would have me and my sister spar with one another. And every time she won, he would replace a piece of me with machinery. And she would win again, and again, and again. Once I am finshed with my sister, I will find every instrument of death I can find and hunt my father down and make him suffer a hundred times more than I have suffered."
Finn and Kraglin didn't really know how to process this.
"Huh?," Kraglin finally said. "I just meant like you would but like a nice hat. One that would make the others girls go 'ooh.'"
Nebula and Finn both looked at him weirdly. And he just walked away and the they went to ready their ship.
"So why did you save me?," Finn asked. "You could've just let them kill me."
"We're partners remember?," she said. "We're in this together."
"Well, whatever reason, thank you," he said and she smiled ever so slightly.
"Now how many jumps to Ego's planet?," Nebula asked.
Finn checked the nav and he was taken aback by how many jumps it was.
"Finn?"
"700," he answered and she was taken aback as well. "Luckily I'm a being made up of six different kinds of pure energy and you're pretty much a cyborg so we should be fine."
"No matter what, brace yourself."
They then disengaged from the Ravager ship and began jumping from planet to planet. They were going like this for for a few hours until eventually, they arrived at a red planet which looked to be glowing a faint white light, originating from the core.
"Now that is a weird-looking planet," Finn commented and Nebula nodded. "Nebula, remember you said you'd try to just talk to Gamora."
Nebula simply nodded and then headed down to the planet, and it didn't take long for them to find Gamora. But when they found her, Nebula began screaming as started shooting at her. Finn then just looked at her.
"I tried," she said, causing him to roll his eyes. She then turned around and began firing again. She soon chased her sister into the caverns, but they were too narrow and the ship's wings broke off they crashed and Finn was thrown out of the cockpit and landed near Gamora.
"Okay...that hurt," he said as he got up. Then Gamora tried to kick him but he grabbed her foot and spun her in the air. Then he remembered Nebula was still in the ship and he teleported over to her and tried to get her out, but then he saw Gamora pick up the separated gun and she rewired it to make it fire again Finn put up a purple energy shield to block the bullets.
This went on for about thirty seconds and then the ground underneath Finn and Nebula and they fell through, along with Gamora. Then Finn ran over to Gamora.
"Come on get up!," he yelled. "I need your help to get Nebula out!"
"She just tried to kill me!," she argued. "Why should I?"
"Because it's the right thing to do," he answered and she thought about it, then nodded.
"Alright," he said then grabbing her and they teleported over and Gamora pulled Nebula out and Finn tried to fly them out of there, but then the ship exploded and they were pushed away. Gamora and Finn were fine, and Nebula's body mods began repairing her body.
"Doesn't that hurt?," Finn asked.
"I'm used to to it," she said slowly.
Once that was done, she immediately grabbed Gamora by the neck and forced her down on the ground.
"Are you kidding me?!"
They were then began wrestling and Nebula grabbed Gamora's knife and she was about to kill her when Finn stepped in.
"Nebula! She's at your mercy! Don't kill her, be better than that!," he yelled. "Like I've said before, you're better than what Thanos made you."
She then looked at him, and as she loosened her grip, Gamora saw something change in her adoptive sister's eyes.
Nebula then yelled in frustration and finally released her. "I've won. You're beat, I've bested you in combat!"
"No, I saved your life," Gamora said.
"Well you were stupid enough to let me live!," she argued, all the while Finn is just standing watching them.
"You let me live!"
"I don't need you always trying to beat me!"
"I'm not the one who just flew across the universe just because I wanted to win!"
"Do not tell me what I want!," Nebula threatened.
"I don't need to! It's obvious what you want!," Gamora countered.
"You were the one who wanted to win and I just wanted a sister!"
This shocked Gamora to the core.
"You were all I had. But you were the one who needed to win. Thanos pulled my eye from my head. And my brain from my skull. And my arm from my body, because of you."
There was a silence for a good long while until both girls got up and began walking out of the caverns, with Finn in tow.
"Do either of you feel weird?," he asked and they both look at him.
"How so?," Nebula asked.
"Something about this planet just feels... wrong."
"I've been feeling the same thing since I got here," Gamora said.
"Did you tell Star-Munch this?," Finn asked.
"Yes, but he wouldn't even listen, he's so full of himself right now!"
"Aw look Nebula they had their first fight."
"We are not a couple!!!"
"Could've fooled me," Nebula said.
Then they all saw a light coming in through a tunnel and they followed it in, and what they saw, they will never forget.
They saw a cave filled with massive piles of bones of all sentient species of life.
"Now I know why I was so uncomfortable around Ego," Finn said.
"He's insane," Gamora said.
"We need to get off this planet," Nebula said.
"First we need to get some answers," Finn stated.
The three of them then began a long walk back to the others to find Mantis.
Hope you like it. So Finn was right all along about Nebula wanting a sister. Probably do two more chapters and then that'll be it. Next one will probably be the longest of them all.
