Chapter 6:

*No One's POV*

The next morning is when the newcomers are going to make a plan. Verena tells her boys that in order to make plans to escape they must help both Peter and Gamora as well. Also in fairness, each one will split the price to go their separate ways. They all agreed.

"So, what's your plan, huh?" the terrain asked when they meet up.

"Okay," Rocket begins when they walk to the table. "If we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna need to get into that watchtower." He's referring to the large watchtower behind him. "And to do that, I'm gonna need a few things."

"The guards wear security bands to control their ins and outs. We need one," Verena explains, sitting down with them.

"Leave it to me," Gamora volunteers, nodding her head.

"That dude there," Rocket points to a man walking past them. "I need his prosthetic leg," he's holding a snicker.

Verena smirks.

"His leg?" Peter was confused.

"There are materials within the prosthetic leg is actually useful to make adjustments in our escape," Verena steps in out of habit.

"Alright," Peter shrugged.

"And finally on that wall, back there is a black panel, blinking yellow light. You see it?" Rocket asked. They all did. "There's a quarnyx battery behind it. Purple ish box, green wires. To get into that watchtower, I definitely need it."

"How are we supposed to do that?" Gamora asked.

"Well, supposedly, these bald-bodies find you attractive," Verena's eyebrow raised in confusion at this as he speaks. "So maybe you can out some sort of trade."

"Why not, Verena?" Peter asked, suggesting something else quickly.

"She's not doing nothing to them," Rocket glares deadly at him, making Verena secretly thanking him.

"Anyways, look, it's twenty feet up in the air, and it's in the middle of the most heavily-guarded part of the prison," Peter explains. "It's impossible to get up there within being seen," he stated.

"Once the guarnyx battery is removed," Verena speaks up, "everything will become emergency mode. Once we have it, we need to move quickly, so you definitely need to get that last."

Then suddenly the lights went out and the emergency mode came on.

"Or we could just get it first and improvise," she suggests a plan after seeing what Groot did.

"I'll get the armband," Gamora volunteers.

"Leg," Peter volunteers.

A series of of machinery surrounds Groot who is still holding the battery.

"Prisoner, drop the device immediately and retreat to your cell or we will open fire," the guard says through the speakers to Groot.
Groot begins to morph with more of his roots as the anger spreads through him. "I am Groot!" he screams at the top of his lungs.

"Fire!"

He attacks and destroys the machinery, causing mayhem around him and the prisoners. A few of the attacks almost hit his friends, Rocket and Verena.

"All prisoners return to your sleeping areas."

Both Verena and Rocket runs over to Groot, trying not to get hit by the attacks.

"You idiot!" Rocket says to their tree friend annoyed, climbing up on his back as Verena did the same thing. "How are we supposed to fight these things without our stuff?" he asked him, referring to him and his lover.
One machine begins to shoot multiple hits to Groot who uses his arm as a shield to protect his friends. Dex the Destroyer who has been watching the attack, sees a few guards with guns about to shoot at Groot.

"Fire on my command!" one of them send when they are ready to shoot.

Dex attacks the guards with a series of punches and kicks, knocking them out. Some of them were with the guns that they have. One guard tries to hit him, but it was attacked back.

"Creepy little beast! Purple hair freak!" he calls out for Rocket and Verena before throwing them guns.

They catch them and smirk at each other, loving this now.

"Shall we Rocket?" she asked, smirking more.

"Oh, yea," he smirks back.

Rocket took one side of Groot while Verena takes the other side, doing what they know best. Shooting random things and screaming, but in this case, they are shooting at the attackers so they can escape like usual.
"Rocket! Verena!" Gamora calls for them from a railing.

She throws the armband to Rocket who catches it.

"Move to the watchtower!" Verena calls back, still on Groot.

Groot stretches out to where Gamora landed on another railing. Rocket and Verena climbs up the branches where she helps them up on the railing.

"Thanks," Verena says to her.

"Don't mention it."

Peter gets up on Groot's legs with the fake leg when another machine comes in to attack. Before it did attack him, Dex jumps up to destroy it, saving Peter.

"You! Man who has lain with an A'askavariian!" Dex exclaims to Peter.

"It was one time, man," Peter mumbles under his breath, climbing up more.

Dex follows him up, wanting to escape as well.

"We need all available guards in full combat gear-" the guard in the watchtower couldn't continue the order because behind him someone enter into the tower.

More like six beings enter in. They pose and glaring at him, silenting telling him that they are here to escape. Gamora and Verena walks over to the fearful guard so Groot can take care of him.

Dex startles Gamora a little before looking at him annoyed.

"Spare me your foul gaze, woman," he barks at her.

"Why is this one here?" she asked Peter annoyed.

"We promised him he could stay by your side until he kills your boss," Peter answers.

"And who is we?" Verena asked annoyed.

"The guys and I," Peter's response makes her roll her eyes. "I always keep my promises, when they're to muscle bound whack jobs who will kill me if I don't. Here you go," he says, giving Verena the leg.
"I was just kidding about the leg," Verena chuckles with a smirk.

"I just need these two things," Rocket says chuckling, referring the armband and th watchtower.

"What?"

"No, I thought it'd be funny," Rocket snickers. "Was it funny? Wait, what did he look like hopping around?"

"I had to transfer him thirty thousand units!" Peter complained.

"Don't worry," Verena assures him. "I do need the materials in it for future projects."
"How are we going to leave?" Dex asked.

Many of the machines begin to shoot the glass.

"Well, he's got a plan. Right?" Peter asked Rocket. "Or is that another thing you made up?"

"I have a plan! I have a plan!" Rocket scatters to get everything ready.

"Cease your yammering and relieve us from irksome confinement," Dex is impatient.

"Yea, I'll have to agree with the walking thesaurus on that one," Peter says.

"Do not ever call me a thesaurus." He glares at him deadly.

"It's just a metaphor, dude," he argues back.

The only two girls look at each other annoyed with the guys and rolling their eyes and shaking their heads.

"His people are completely literal," Rocket says from the controls. "Metaphors are gonna go over his head."

"Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it."

"I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiots and one sane being in the galaxy," Gamora says to herself, annoyed with everyone.

Armed guards comes in with large guns, ready to fire at them.

"Those are some big guns," Peter stated the obvious.

"On my command! Number one!"

One attack cracked the window.

"Rocket, we need to get going," Verena is starting to get worried.

"Hold on!" he says, going through more controls.

"Number two!"

Another cracks another.

"I recognize this animal," Dex says with a smile. "We'd roast them over a flame pit as children. Their flesh was quite delicious."
"Not helping!" both Verena and Rocket yells at Dex.

"Number three!" More cracks. "All fire on my command! Three! Two! One!"

Before they can fire, Rocket connects two wires together. The Anti-Gravity force came on. Everyone begins to float in mid air as the main part of the watchtower detracts itself from its base.

"Rocket!" Verena smiles big, happily. "You turned off the artificial gravity!"

"Everywhere, but in here," Gamora smiles small, releasing the plan.
The machines that was attacking them becomes under Rocket's control and attaches themselves onto the watchtower. It was a bit of bumpy ride out of the prison using his control.

"I told you I had a plan," he says, getting them out of here.

Soon they escape with the doors closing behind them.

"That was a pretty good plan," Peter admits, surprised.

Verena smiles big and hugging Rocket from behind making him blush madly at her touch and affictionates.
