Here is the next chapter.
I only own my original character, Finn. I own nothing else. I don't own the name Infinity as well.
There three of them soon got back and found Mantis speaking with Drax. Gamora stormed over to her and lifted her up by the neck.
"What is going on here?!," she demanded.
"Gamora let her go!!," Drax yelled.
"The bodies in the caverns, who are they?!," Finn demanded.
"You are scared," Mantis said using her empathic abilities on Gamora. She immediately let go and began to go into a fearful panic.
"What did she do to me?," she asked, then Finn used his own empathic abilities to calm her down.
"Mantis already told me everything," Drax said and he began explaining that Ego has been bonding his DNA with thousands of species, up until Quill. And he explained the Expansion, and eradicating the universe.
"The bodies in the caverns," Mantis said. "Are his children."
"So I'm not the only Celestial?," Finn asked and everyone looked at him, except Nebula who already knew.
"You're one too?," Drax asked.
"It's what Thanos called me what I was."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"We need to get Quill."
"Ego will have won him to his side by now," Mantis said.
"Then we just leave," Nebula said.
"No, he's our friend," Gamora argued.
"All you do is yell at each other, you're not friends."
"No, we're family. And we don't leave anyone behind," Drax said then he looked at Nebula. "Except maybe you."
"Oh my God," she said.
"But then you would all die by my hand cause you left her here," Finn said, and they backed down on the idea and Nebula smiled at him. Then he put on his mask. "Now let's go save Gamora's not boyfriend."
They nodded then Gamora was finally able to reach Rocket.
"Finally, Rocket?," she asked.
"Kept the transmitter nearby so we can track you, we're in an old piece of machinery that Yondu once used to slice open the Bank of A'askavaria."
"Ego's unhinged."
"I know. Get ready, and tell Finn thanks for helping us escape the Ravagers."
"You helped them escape the Ravagers Finn?"
"There was a mutiny and some loser calling himself Taserface took over," Finn explained and Drax burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha... Taserface?," he asked, and Finn nodded.
"Let's laugh about it later," Nebula said.
"Right, and Finn," Gamora said and he turned to her. "Thanks for saving my friends."
"Thank me when we save all of your friends," he said back and they all made their way back to the main building and Drax kicked the door down, just as Yondu, Rocket and Groot crashed in. And the door to the machine and Drax, Finn and Nebula ran in, while Gamora got Peter, who was weakened after being slightly siphoned by the light.
"Out of the way, dumber, smaller Groot!," Drax yelled as he got in. "What you doing, you could've killed us all?!"
"Uh... 'Thank you, Rocket?,'" Rocket said.
"We had it under control."
"No," Mantis said as Gamora and Peter got in. "That was an extension of himself, he'll be back."
"What's Smurfette and Infinity Man doing here?," Star-Lord asked.
"Whatever I need to do to get a damn ride home," Nebula said.
"And if you call me that again, I'll teleport you into high orbit," Finn threatened, still hating the name.
"I'd like to see you try."
Finn's eyes then went blue and Peter immediately backed down. "Okay, I'm sorry, Infinity."
"That's more like it. Yondu get us out of here!"
"Yondu?," Peter asked surprised he was there.
"No problem!," he yelled and tried to get out the building, but Ego was stopping them.
Peter went up to the cockpit and began tinkering at the controls.
"How do we kill a Celestial?," Drax asked.
"Its harder than it would appear to be, trust me," Finn said. "I know."
"You've killed one before? How?!," Peter asked.
"He is one, you moron!," Nebula said.
"Anyway there must be a center to him, brain, heart, soul, whatever," Finn said.
"Yes there is," Mantis said. "It's in the caverns, below the surface."
Ego then began pulling them deeper into the ground, crumbling the building on top of them.
"You were right, kid!," Finn yelled. "He is a jackass!"
"Why are you calling Yondu 'kid'?," Peter asked.
"Because he's known me since I was a kid," Yondu said.
"He's that Finn?" Yondu nodded in confirmation. "Well anyway, it's a good thing that I was a skinny kid, otherwise you would've delivered me to this maniac!"
"You still think that's why I kept you around, you idiot?"
"That's what you told me, you old doofus."
"Well after I figured out what happened to them other kids, I wasn't gonna just hand you over!"
"You said you were gonna eat me."
"That was being funny."
"Not to me!"
"To me it is!," Finn said.
"You people have issues!," Rocket said.
"Of course I do!," Peter yelled, then a massive version of human Ego appeared, very angry. "That's my freaking father!!"
The ship was then finally able to get out of the building and they began diving into the core.
"We should be going up!," Yondu yelled.
"We can't!," Star-Lord yelled. "Ego wants to eradicate the universe as we know it! We have to kill him!"
As they burrowed, Kraglin began trying to contact Yondu, but he couldn't hear over the noise. Peter then began to explain why Ego needed him.
"I was able to control the light a little. I made a ball."
"A ball?," Yondu and Finn questioned, since Finn had come up to the cockpit.
"I thought as hard as I could. It was all I could come up with," Peter defended.
"You think that I use my head to fly my arrow, or him using his powers?," Yondu asked, then they reached the core but they lost a piece of the machine as they arrived. Mantis then pointed out the large sphere of thick ore.
"There. That's Ego's core," she said.
Rocket then prepped the drilling lasers on the ship and began drilling into the sphere. Then Yondu was finally able to hear Kraglin.
"What is it Kraglin?"
'Remember that Ayesha chick?,' he said over the communicator.
"Yeah why?"
'Uh...'
Then Yondu saw the Sovereign fleet coming towards them.
"Oh hell!!," he yelled then began flying out of the way of the laser blasts, but they were able to blow out the generator, and the collision pushed Drax, Gamora and Mantis out.
"Why aren't you firing the lasers?!," Peter yelled.
"They blew out the generator!," Rocket yelled back. "I think I packed a detonator!"
"A detonator is useless without a bomb!," Nebula said.
"Well you do have those batteries," Finn said. "Rocket, you, Peter and Groot go and place the bomb on Ego's core. Nebula, go and help Yondu."
"Rocket, are those batteries strong enough to kill Ego?," Star-Lord asked.
"If they are, it'll start a chain reaction throughout his entire nervous system," Rocket Raccoon answered.
"What does that mean?"
"The entire planet will explode! We'll need to get out of here fast."
"Wait, what about you, Finn?," Nebula asked.
"I'll keep the Sovereign busy."
"No! They'll swarm and kill you."
This comment surprised everyone on board, except Finn. Nobody had ever expected her to actually care if someone died.
"Maybe, maybe not. But at least you'll be safe. Now go all of you," Finn said then activated his mask and flew out. He began shooting the ship with purple blasts of energy to make a path for Peter, Rocket and Groot.
Once they were through, and they decided that Groot was the only one who could deliver the bomb, Quill flew out and began aiding Finn.
"What a day," Peter said through his own mask.
"Tell me about it," Finn said as he continued to fight. "So you're a Celestial too huh?"
"Apparently so."
"We
After a couple minutes, Peter all of sudden began asking everyone if they had any tape, no one did.
Then the ships rear thrusters went out again and they were sitting ducks, and the Sovereign ships surrounded them just as Quill and Finn got back into the ship.
"Guardians," Ayesha said through the ship's intercom. "Perhaps it will provide you solace that your deaths will not be meaningless." As she spoke, Yondu began hooking up Nebula so that she could act as the generator. "They will stand as a warning for all those who dare to betray us. Don't screw with the Sovereign."
An overwhelming barrage of laser blasts began to rain on them.
"This is gonna hurt," Finn told Nebula.
"Promises, promises," she said smirking and Yondu turned the generator on, and as she was being electrocuted, Finn then fired the lasers and destroyed all of the Sovereign ships. But then Peter saw a piece got on the ship and began leaking into the engine.
"This thing is gonna blow!," he yelled and Yondu whistled for his arrow. Then the ship exploded as the other Guardians watched helplessly.
"Peter!!!," Gamora yelled, then saw Finn with his arm around Nebula as he flew them down safely to the ground.
"Thanks for the save again," Nebula said, and he nodded, smiling under the mask. Then they looked up and soon saw through the smoke Peter with his aero-rig on, flying down and Yondu holding his arrow up, floating down as well. Peter looked at Yondu and laughed.
"What?," Yondu asked.
"You look like Mary Poppins," he answered.
"Is he cool?"
Peter looked at him for a second before deciding to go with it. "Hell yeah, he's cool."
"I'M MARY POPPINS, Y'ALL!!!!!," Yondu yelled.
The two then landed and then Rocket appeared, and the eight of them began a superhero team pose, then it was ruined when Mantis, who was using her empathic abilities to keep Ego asleep, was hit by a rock and knocked out.
"Mantis! Look out!!," Drax said too late.
The planet then lit up with white light and began to come alive again as Drax picked up the bug-like woman.
"Rocket, how long till the bomb goes off?!," Peter asked.
"In the unlikely event that Groot doesn't kill us all, about six minutes!," the raccoon answered.
"Kraglin, bring the quadrant down for extraction!," Yondu said.
'Got it, captain,' he said and began bringing the ship down.
"Drax, take Mantis!," Peter said taking his aero-rig off and putting it on him, who then yelled in pain.
"Ah!! My nipples!!," he yelled and then flew up, then Nebula and Finn looked at each other and then at the others.
Then part of the ground gave in and Nebula and Gamora fell.
"Gamora/ Nebula!!!," Star-Lord and Infinity yelled at the same time. Then they saw Nebula grab her sister and then grabbed a piece of rock that was going up, and they knew they were fine.
"Peter!!!," a loud voice yelled behind him. Ego had arrived and tentacles of light and rock began attacking the four. His face then show as large version of it made of rock and light.
"Come now Peter, I know that this isn't what you want," Ego said still trying to turn him to his side. "What kind of a father would I be to let you make this decision?"
Yondu began destroying layer by layer of the rock tentacles with his arrow one by one, Rocket tossed a lot of mini bombs on four tentacles at once and created a force field around himself and then blew them up.
Finn was using a variety of attacks, using his purple laser blast to destroy tentacles instantly or bashing them with his energy shield, or using his telekinesis to twist two together until they disintegrate. And Peter used his guns and hitting with perfect shots on each one, keeping them at bay.
"Soon son, we will be all there is. So stop pissing me off!!!," Ego yelled.
Then soon enough, the four were over whelmed while the others began to be captured and immobilized by the tentacles. Yondu was pushed down and his arrow was destroyed as rock covered him, same thing happened to Rocket as he tried to fly away, then as Drax reached the quadrant, the ground began pulling him under, but he raised Mantis up so she couldn't be sucked down. Nebula and Gamora were nearly up to the extraction point but then tentacles began wrapping around them and kept them where they were. Then the walls around Groot as he ventured deeper into the sphere to find the core began to close in on him, trapping him, as everything went dark, he the baby tree began crying. Now it was just Peter and Finn and they were now back to back.
"So it's Star-Lord and the Infinity Man vs. Ego the Living Planet," Finn said, and Peter smirked under his mask as he saw that the name had been slowly growing on him.
"Looks that way. By the way, with everything you have done for me and my team, consider yourself a Guardian," Peter said.
"Thanks but where Nebula goes, I go."
"You two have an unspoken thing too?," he asked, shooting a tentacle without even looking.
"Not exactly like yours and Gamora's but-," he said then was stoped by a large tentacle hitting them both, breaking both of their masks. Ego began immobilizing Finn, but then spoke up.
"I know you can easily get out of that my fellow Celestial," Ego said. "I could see it within you. If you try to escape I will kill the one you love." This threat immediately made Finn stop struggling. Unknown to anyone, Nebula was able to hear this.
'Could it be true? Or is he just lying?,' she thought to herself.
Then Ego began forming his human form again once Finn gave up after that threat, which shocked everyone but Ego. The thing then began walking towards his son, as tentacles of pure light began creeping up to Star-Lord.
"I told you, I don't want to do this alone," Ego said and he then began siphoning Peter again, and as he continued to form. "You cannot deny the purpose the universe has bestowed upon you!"
He then began the Expansion again, and countless worlds began to suffer again, including Xandar and Earth.
"It doesn't need to be like this Peter," the almost fully-formed Ego said. "Why are you destroying our chance? Stop pretending you aren't what you are! One in billions. Trillions! Even more! What greater meaning can life possibly have to offer?!"
Then Yondu, whose face was the only visible part of him and whose arrow laid next to him, broken in two, then spoke up. "I don't use my head to fly the arrow boy! I use my heart-" he was then cut off by Ego covering his face.
Finn then used his telepathy and empathy at the same time and looked through Peters memories and began showing the good ones to him. One of him and his mother just listening to music, then he and Drax having a laugh, one of Peter flying around with Rocket and Groot, one of him and Gamora just looking into each other's eyes and finally one of him and Yondu, teaching him how to shoot.
Peter then knew how to control his connection to the light. (Think of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain beginning to play). Peter then began to summon up the rocks around him and began the control just as good as Ego could.
"You shouldn't have killed my mom and squished my Walkman," he said then flew at his father and began attacking him with a rock covered fist. As the two fought, the Guardians were released, and Finn was released lastly and he and Yondu then began to watch Peter and Ego fight as Rocket went to go get Groot, who had also been released as well and had pressed the right button, thankfully. Then Drax got on the quadrant and placed Mantis down and went to the bridge, just as Nebula and Gamora got on.
Rocket and Groot then went back to Yondu and Finn.
"Guys come on!," he yelled.
"Go get out of here!," Yondu yelled back.
"Not without Quill!"
"You need to take care of the Twig!"
"Not without you!"
"I ain't done anything right my whole life!," Yondu said. "You've gotta give me this."
Rocket knew he couldn't convince him to not do this so he gave him his spare space suit and aero-rig.
"I only have one of each!," he said, directing his attention to Finn.
"I can survive in space!," he yelled. "I'm gonna help out Quill! If I don't make it, tell Nebula... that what Ego said was true, I love her."
"I will."
"I am Groot!," Groot yelled.
"What's that?!," Yondu asked.
"He said 'Welcome to the frickin' Guardians of the Galaxy,'" Rocket translated. "Only he didn't use frickin'." He then flew off to the quadrant and Finn turned to Yondu.
"I'm proud of you, kid," he said. "You've more than earned back your seat at the table."
"Thank you for everything... Infinity Man," Yondu said back, and Finn nodded.
"Despite being a pain in the ass, I always saw you as my son." He then he flew off to help Star-Lord.
Soon Rocket made it back to the quadrant, he found Nebula and Gamora there, who was checking on Mantis.
"Rocket where's Quill?," Gamora asked.
"And where's Finn?," Nebula asked.
When Rocket said nothing, they began asking him over and over, but all he did was shake his head slightly and then Groot answered for them and pointed to the planet. The sisters then got up and grabbed some weapons, intent on getting them back. But they were stopped after getting electrocuted by Rocket.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I can only afford to lose one friend today. Kraglin, let's go!!"
'Rocket! Where's Finn and Quill?!,' Drax asked over the intercom. 'Rocket, where are they?!!! Rocket!!!! Where are Quill and Finn?!!!'
Rocket refused to answer as the quadrant began to take off and leave Yondu Udonta, Infinity Man and Star-Lord behind.
Finn soon found the father and son flying towards each other, Ego as a huge, rocky form of himself and Peter as a giant Pacman. They were about to collide, then Finn flew in and formed a purple energy projection of unselfish and headed straight for Ego, right next to Pacman. The three then collided and they all fell down and onto a small rock, overlooking the core sphere.
Ego then began to get up, but Finn grabbed him and punched him in the face and then Star-Lord hit him as well and knocked him back to the ground. There was only thirty seconds on the bomb now.
"No!! We have to stop it!!," Ego yelled and then both Finn and Peter tackled him back to the ground.
"Peter, wait!!," he yelled as he got on his knees and put his hands on Peter's shoulders and Finn watched. "Listen to me!! Listen! You are a god!! If you kill me, you'll be just like everyone else!!!"
"What's so wrong with that?," Star-Lord asked.
"No!!!!!," Ego yelled, then the bomb exploded and with it Ego. The extension then disintegrated in Peter's hands and Star-Lord started up the light and watched it disappear as the planet exploded.
"You did what you had to do, Peter," Finn said, earning a nod. Then all of a sudden, Yondu flew in and grabbed Peter and the three of them flew out to escape the exploding planet.
"He may have been your father," Yondu said. "But he wasn't your daddy!"
They then flew even higher and when they reached the upper atmosphere, Yondu spoke again.
"I'm sorry I didn't do any of it right. I'm damn lucky you were my boy."
He then put the space suit on Peter, much to his confusion. Then they entered the emptiness of space, and Finn's eyes turned red and he had a red aura around himself.
"No, Yondu! You can't do this!!," Peter yelled, as his adoptive father began to succumb to the cold, airless space. "Finn, help him!!"
"This was his choice," Finn said.
Peter then tried to share the space suit with him, but he couldn't remove it. "Come on!! Come on!!! No! No!! No!!!"
Yondu simply placed his hands on Peter's face, gesturing him that everything would be okay, and he then finally died, arms now out wide, showing that he was ready. Star-Lord then began to sob and placed his head on Yondu's chest while Finn placed his hand on Peter's shoulder.
"Goodbye... son," Finn said to Yondu.
Yondu Udonta was dead, sacrificing himself to save the boy he saw as his son.
Hope you were satisfied by this chapter. I rather enjoyed writing it, it was a lot to do but I hope you'll like it, please review and let me know how you think of it. Just one last chapter and it'll just be the rest of the movie. I might go on and make up my own stuff as to what they do afterwards, and maybe I'll have them meet Stakar and the rest of the Ravager captains, we'll have to see what happens.
