Peter walked forward and half raised his right hand, pointing at the guardians, especially the baby. He will do just as his mistress wished. To kill this pathetic fools who have done her harm. He saw as this fools hugged each other one last time. Pathetic. Really pathetic.
"Dada!" The baby shouted.
Peter raised an eyebrow in confusion. Was this infant inferior being referring to… him?
"Dada!" She threw her arms out, trying to reach him. Her pink eyes were full of happiness. True happiness. The green skinned woman tried to pull the baby back, but the baby refused. The baby wanted to get to him. She was actually… kind of cute. And she had those adorable pink eyes…
Peter lowered his hand and cooed his head in curiosity.
Crimson noticed this and growled furiously. "What are you doing? Kill them! Kill them all!"
Peter ignored Crimson and keep looking at the small baby. She was so beautiful, so… familiar…
Crimson growled even more in frustration. "I said-!" She was thrown back by a purple energy beam. She landed several feet away.
Peter lowered his hand. "Yeah, I know what the fuck you just said and you can be damn right I'm not going to do anything you tell me, bitch." He grabbed the mind control collar and threw it away, broken in half. He hold on to the Infinity Stone. This was not over yet.
Crimson got up. "But… but… How did you escaped the mind control!?" She yelled frustrated.
Peter crossed his arms and shrugged. "Let's just say that little piece of shit had a flaw." He smirked. "And you can thank Lotus for helping me find it." Peter turned his around and faced his friends. He smiled at them. The guardians were relieved that their asshole leader was back. Gamora smiled at him gently, grateful that her one true love was back. Peter turned his head back to Crimson.
Crimson breathed in and out, her body shaking in rage. She started to glow in a furious red and hovered three feet in the air. Her eyes glowed in a fiery red. "You will pay for this, Peter Quill…" She shot a powerful energy beam with both hands.
Peter shot one as well to stop it. And it did. Both beam collided with each other and exploded. He turned his head around. "Go! Get out of here, I'll stop her!" He yelled at his friends.
"But Peter-!" Gamora started.
"We are not leaving without you, you bastard!" Rocket yelled as he grabbed his ribcage in pain.
"I am Groot!"
"Friend Quill, you must come with us." Drax said as he grabbed his broken arm.
"Peter, I know that you have always been stupid, but this is ridiculous!" Yondu yelled.
"JUST GO! NOW! Protect Lotus for me, Ok?" And he flew away towards Crimson.
"We will…" Gamora whispered.
Groot, who had finally grown back his arms and legs, grabbed Rocket and Drax, except for Yondu, and made a quick dash towards the exit along with Gamora who was holding Lotus. Yondu followed behind shortly.
"We need back up." He said.
Gamora looked at him. "Who? The Ravagers? They won't stand a chance."
Yondu smirked as he remembered something.
(Flashback)
"Listen Kraglin, if you see that everything goes out of control, contact the Nova Corps for backup and tell them what the fuck is going on, got it?"
Kraglin nodded.
(End of Flashback)
"Let's just say I kind of told my second in command to get the Nova Corps in case something went wrong."
OOO
Peter flew towards Crimson and shot a purple beam at her. She blocked it by crossing her arms and making a small red force field. She flew straight towards him and punched him straight in the face. He gladly returned the blow in the abdomen. Crimson kicked Peter in the face and then in the guts.
OOO
Gamora, Lotus, Groot, Yondu, Rocket and Drax returned to the Ravagers' spaceship on the Milano. They made their way to the navigation bay. Once there, Groot carefully put Rocket and Drax on the floor. Yondu approached Kraglin.
"You got the Nova Corps?"
"Yes, sir. They'll be here any minute."
"Good boy."
Kraglin took a look at Gamora… holding the baby that caused all this trouble. "Is that Peter's…?"
Gamora glared at him.
"Never mind."
The communicator started beeping loudly and Nova Prime appeared on the screen. "This better be true." She saw Gamora on the back holding Lotus. "Never mind, it's true. The troops are right outside your ship, waiting for battle."
"It's an honor to work along you again, Nova Prime." Yondu smirked. Was he… flirting with her?
Nova growled. "I can't say the same… But the fate of the galaxy is at stake again so I have no choice."
Rocket sighed. "So, what's the plan?"
"Unfortunately…There's none."
"WHAT!? What kind of intergalactic leader are you if you don't have a plan!?" Rocket yelled at Nova.
"She could have twelve percent of a plan." Drax commented.
"She doesn't even have a plan! Not even one percent!"
"All we can do is wait. I had send the ships before your distress call. I did not know of the battle between Crimson and Peter. The battle involves an Infinity Stone that could wipe out a whole planet. I don't want to risk anyone's lives. The troops will only be watching for your safety. I'm sorry I couldn't do more."
The guardians felt defeated. Nova Prime was right. All they could do was watch their leader fight one of the most powerful villains the galaxy as ever seen.
OOO
Crimson grabbed Peter's shirt collar and slammed him on the floor, cracking it a bit. She did so a couple of more times and Peter's head keep hitting the ground. Finally, he grabbed her by the throat and slammed Crimson on the floor, he on top of her punching her perfectly pale face. She raised her leg and kicked him straight on the face. Seeing her opportunity, she slipped away from him and kicked him hard in the-
"AH! MY NUTS!" Peter yelled as he grabbed his said nuts and kneeled on the floor.
"You will pay for what you have done to me!" Crimson said as she got up and her arms glowed in an intense red energy.
"What? Getting you pregnant? I don't regret it one bit. I got Lotus! What I do regret is the mother…"
Crimson gave a loud battle scream as her hands made contact with the floor, making a large crack on it. Peter recovered himself and flew away from the floor before falling through the large cracks.
"Not loving you? You don't deserve to be loved, Gamora does!"
Crimson's eyes glowed in an intense red color and she threw a large energy ball towards Peter. Peter dodged. He wondered. Crimson was strong when calm and collected, but when she loosed her temper, she seemed to be weak when angered. She didn't have a target, she just wanted to slam and smash anything in her way. She was not focused. He smiled. This could be of his advantage.
"Gamora has a heart, she has feelings. SHE deserves to be loved. But YOU are just a heartless monster who was willing to sacrifice my daughter!"
She shot another energy ball. He dodged it again and the energy ball hit the far wall behind him, making a large hole that lead towards outer space. The air in the ship was sucked to the outside along with Crimson and Peter. They spun in circles until they finally came to a stop. In space. Peter gasped, but he was surprised that he was breathing.
"Impressive. The Infinity Stone you are holding allows you to breath outside the ship. Very impressive indeed." Crimson said. "Unfortunately for you, my powers allow me to breathe outside too. I just wonder what will happen if I take that little stone away from you."
Of course, Peter knew. He knew that he will stop breathing. Crimson flew towards him and tried to snatch the stone. This woman was crazy! He flew away but Crimson was hot in his heels. He flew pass the Ravagers ship and some Nova Corps but Crimson followed. If the Ravagers and the Nova Corps knew what was best, they better stay out of this fight. He shot a few beams towards the woman, but she gracefully dodged them.
She finally grabbed his foot. Peter panicked and started to shake his foot, an attempt to get rid of the maniac. "Let me go you psycho!" Crimson's grp on Peter's feet loosened and she finally let go.
She, in all her rage, threw a ginormous energy ball to Peter. Peter was send backwards. It hurt. It hurt a lot. But he had to be strong. He had to be strong for his daughter. For Gamora. For his friends. He replicated the energy ball and returned to Crimson.
It send the amount of damage to Crimson as it did to him. Crimson was disorientated. This was his chance.
Probably the last one.
OOO
They all watched the battle that took place several miles away from the ship. By Nova's orders, nobody could interfere for their own safety and of others. They had to watch helplessly from the ships. Gamora watched as the man she loved was getting beat up by some bitch. But he was kicking her ass.
"Finish her, Peter…" She whispered while her grip on Lotus tightened.
OOO
Peter punched her straight in the face. Crimson kicked him in the nuts. Again. He gasped in pain and punched her again. Damn, it hurt like hell. He kicked her right on the ribs. Crimson flew backwards in pain, she clutched her ribs. It felt like she was on fire. She glared at Peter.
"This. Is. Over." She raised her hands above her head and conjured energy. Her whole body glowed in a fiery red; it seemed like she was on fire. She pointed her hands towards Peter and shot an energy blast towards him. Peter tried to avoid it but the blast hit him straight on the chest. He screamed in pain as Crimson chuckled darkly.
Peter turned his head around and looked at the Ravager's ship. He couldn't see well, but he imagined his fellow guardians and Gamora and Lotus waiting for him on the Milano with a hot cup of chocolate and his Awesome Mix vol. 1 playing on the background. They will all fly the Milano away into the stars and watch Lotus play in all different kinds of planets. She will meet new people and Gamora and Drax will train her in combat. She will learn to take care of plants thanks to Groot and Rocket will teach her mechanics (Yeah, he knew…). She will 'probably' get to spend some time with Yondu under supervision. And Peter will gladly teach her the ways of planet Earth and how to ride the Milano. He will watch her grow and turn into a beautiful woman. He really wanted that to happen.
And it will.
He focused all the stone's energy to his hands and shot it. It hit Crimson and it send her flying backwards. The invisible force fields around her body were weakening. Peter growled as his body irradiated more energy than ever. He had to finish her. He extended his arms to his sides and a giant purple ball of energy surrounded him and Crimson. Crimson started to panic. She remembered. This was how Ronan was defeated. She couldn't accept defeat. She flew back and forth in desperation, searching for an exit. There was none. She turned around and the sight in front of her send shivers through her spine.
Peter flew above her with his arms still extended. He looked down at Crimson with hatred. Pure hatred, but also, he knew that this was for the best of the galaxy. For his daughter.
Crimson shivered while she looked up to him. "What… what are…are you doing!?"
"Finishing you up, so you can never hurt my little princess ever again! Or anyone else for that matter."
Crimson shivered even more. She was so screwed up. The man that hovered seven feet above her was holding one of the most powerful artifacts in the galaxy and he could wipe her out like dust. "Please… have mercy…"
Peter raised an eye brow. "Mercy? You dare to ask for mercy after you killed hundreds? After kidnapping MY daughter!? You know what? This. Is. Over."
"NO! PETER! PLEASE! LET ME LIVE! I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO!"
"Too bad." He shrugged. "You should have thought of that when you messed up with my little girl."
"I DIDN'T MEANT TO! I'M SORRY! PLEASE, FORGIVE ME! YOU ARE A GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO SAVE PEOPLE! PLEASE, SPARE ME!"
"Let me think… Um? How about…No?"
"PLEASE!"
"Sayonara, Crimson Bitch!"
"NO!" Crimson screamed.
Peter pointed his arms in Crimson's direction and shot all the energy he could muster. The last thing Crimson saw was a bright flash of light.
OOO
They all watched as a giant purple ball surrounded Peter and Crimson. Minutes later, the ball exploded and a white flash of light pushed the ships backwards for a little bit. Due to the unexpected movement of the Ravager's ship, many tried to hold on to something and many fell down by the impact. All except Gamora, holding tightly onto Lotus, protecting her from any harm.
Gamora slowly opened her eyes at the surprised gasping sounds and whispers of those around her. She saw everybody on the floor looking at her in disbelief. Or at Lotus for that matter. She gasped as she saw a weak looking but visible pink force field surrounding her and the baby. Lotus had her little hands raised in front of her and her eyes glowed pink. The baby slowly let her arms fall and the glow in her eyes disappeared. She turned her head towards Gamora, looking at her with tired eyes.
"Mama."
Gamora's jaw fell. Did the baby just… protected her with a force field?
OOO
The purple energy vanished and Crimson was nowhere in sight. Peter sighed in relief. It was over. It finally over. His little girl was safe. Everyone was safe once more. Now… he just had to write a report to Nova Prime. Then get some sleep.
Or maybe the other way around. He felt his eyelids getting heavy and suddenly, everything went black.
