Here's chapter 6 everybody.
Chapter 6: Finding Meaning.
Peter, Gamora, Drax, Salzer and Mantis has finally arrived at Ego's planet. Upon landing, Ego gives Peter, Gamora, Drax and Salzer a tour to his planet.
"Welcome, everyone, to my world." Ego said.
"Wow. You have your own planet?" Peter asked.
"Come on. No larger than your Earth's Moon." Ego said.
"Humility. I like it. I, too, am extraordinarily humble." Drax said.
"Very colorful the place." Salzer said.
Gamora, Salzer and Drax look at some colorful bubbles that were floating around them and try to reach them. Drax poked one and created more bubbles, making him laugh.
The group then reached Ego's palace, while Gamora wants to know more about Ego.
"You own a planet and can destroy two dozen spaceships without a suit. What are you exactly?" Gamora questioned.
"I'm what's called a Celestial, sweetheart." Ego replied.
Ego's comment stop Peter, Gamora, Drax and Salzer right on their tracks as they heard about the ancient and powerful Celestial race.
"A Celestial, like a god?" Peter asked.
"Small 'g' son. At least on the days I'm feeling humble as Drax." Ego replied.
A few seconds later, everyone goes inside Ego's palace, which was huge and awes Peter.
"I don't know where I came from exactly." Ego said as he shows the group a showcase of his true form, which is a brain. "First thing I remember is flickering adrift in the cosmos utterly and entirely alone. Over millions of years, I learned to control the molecules around me. I grew smarter and stronger, and I continued building from there, layer by layer, the very planet you walk on now." Ego said as he shows the Guardians another showcase of his planetary form.
"Whoa." Peter said.
"Incredible." Salzer said.
"But I wanted more. I desired meaning. 'There must be some life out there in the universe besides just me', I thought. And so, I set myself the task of finding it. I created what I imagined biological life to be like down to the most minute detail." Ego said as he shows the Guardians another showcase of him creating his human avatar form. The showcase was in the display like a figurine.
"Did you make a penis?" Drax asked.
"Dude!" Peter said.
"Really, Drax?!" Salzer asked.
"What is wrong with you?" Gamora asked.
"If he is a planet, how could he make a baby with your mother? He would smush her!" Drax asked Peter.
"I don't need to hear how my parents..." Peter said.
"Why? My father would tell the story of impregnating my mother every winter solstice." Drax said.
"Okay, can you stop talking about this, please?" Salzer said, getting grossed out.
"That's disgusting." Peter said, getting grossed out.
"It is beautiful. You Earthers have hang-ups." Drax said.
"Yes, Drax, I got a penis." Ego replied.
"Ha! Thank you!" Drax said.
"It's not half bad." Ego said.
"Ugh, men." Salzer muttered in annoyance.
"I've also got pain receptors, and a digestive system and all the accompanying junk. I wanted to experience what it truly meant to be human as I set out amongst the stars, until I found what I sought. Life." Ego said as he shows the Guardians another case of his avatar form meeting a figurine of a Krylorian girl. "I was not alone in the universe after all."
"When did you meet my mother?" Peter asked.
"Not long after." Ego said before showing another showcase of the figurines of his human avatar and Peter's mother Meredith. "It was with Meredith that I first experienced love. I called her my river lily. And from that love, Peter... you." Ego said before looking at Peter. "I have searched for you for so long. And when I heard of a man from Earth who held an Infinity Stone in his hand without dying, I knew you must be the son of the woman I loved."
"If you loved her, why did you leave her?" Peter asked, which Ego didn't reply.
'Thank you, Peter.' Salzer thought with a smirk.
And that's the end of this chapter. Let me make one thing clear, I'm not a big fan of sexual jokes or references like that question Drax asked in the movie. Heck, I'm uncomfortable just saying the word, or in this case type it. So hopefully, this is a one time thing. I had no choice but to include that in my fanfic since it's scripted. If you were to read any of my other fanfics, you won't see that. Anyway, always defend your mother. The mother is the most important person in the family and your lives, just like Peter did. Anyway, please review. :)
