(A/N) Just so that we are all on the same page for the timeline, I am going to be reposting the chapter here that is part of Spiderverse Book 1 - Chapter 45: "Galaxy of Heroes". Since this is supposed to be canon, I can't exactly ignore what I have already confirmed to have happened post-GOTG story. So, this will be the prologue that will then bring us to the main GOTG 3 storyline.

I just wish that it was better written and didn't contradict a lot of stuff. Just keep in mind, this is to set up where we are in history, most of this isn't exactly relevant to the main context of the story.


Peter's POV:

All right, let's start at the beginning one last time.

My name is Peter Parker, and when I was five years old, I was kidnapped by aliens along with a raccoon. While I was taken, they intertwined my DNA with spider DNA giving me incredible powers.

As for the raccoon, they gave him the intelligence to talk, use higher brain functions, and more, and goes by the name Rocket. Who later became like a father figure to me.

After some time, we were able to escape and met up with a new friend of ours, Groot. The three of us became an unstoppable bounty-hunting team. I never returned to earth because I didn't want them to see what it is I have become.

Fast forward ten years, and that's when we met up with Peter Quill, Star-Lord. We were going to get a bounty off of him, but a week later we ended up fighting Ronan the Accuser, with an infinity stone. Teamed up with Gamora, the daughter of the mad Titan Thanos, and Drax the Destroyer.

Afterward, we were known as the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Then a few years later, we met up with Peter's father, Ego. Blah, blah, he was an evil planet, that wanted to destroy all life in the universe. We blew up his brain and made a new friend, Mantis.

Then a short while afterward, we got a distress call from an Asgardian refuge ship that was under attack. But by the time we got there, there was only one survivor.

Thor Odinson, god of thunder.

He explained how Thanos was the one who destroyed the ship in search of the space stone as he already got the power stone from Xandar. So in order to help stop Thanos,, Groot and Rocket offer to go with him to Nidavellir to get a Thanos killing weapon, Stormbreaker.

But when they got to Earth, it was too late as Thanos had all but one of the infinity stones. We and the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers, fought him off the best we could, but he got through us, and...he killed half of all life.

I felt my entire body was feeling sick, my powers were warning me it was the end. The next thing I knew I was turning into dust.

After that, the next thing I remember is waking back up in the jungle of Wakanda where apparently five years had passed. And all of the universe was assembled to fight off Thanos.

Before we fought him, I used a powerful arc reactor to bring their android back to life they call Vision.

During the fight, I got ahold of the gauntlet and used my suit to keep one of the stones away from the gauntlet so if Thanos did get them again, he couldn't kill us all again.

My plan worked as when Thanos got the gauntlet, he thought he had won but then Thor sliced off his head, ending the Titan. Then they destroyed the Soul stone to save a friend of theirs, Natasha Romanoff.

That's when Rocket told me mostly everyone in my family was dead, all except my Aunt May. But that's when I thought I needed to choose between having a life on earth, or to keep traveling the Galaxy with my new family.

I met back up with May, my best friend Ned, and my crush Michelle Jones. It turns out that none of them stopped looking for me over the years.

Promising to keep in touch and giving her a communicator, May understood I couldn't just leave my family. I chose to remain a Guardian of the Galaxy.

Not only that, but I even asked MJ to join us since she didn't have any family left on earth, and since I was offering her the adventure of a lifetime, she agreed.

Fast forward ten years, I'm in my late early 30s and am married to MJ now and we have a child, Eliza Parker.

She has her parent's brains, but her father's heart and her mother's don't-take-nothin' attitude. Which is amazing considering she's only ten years old.


Normal POV:

Right now, the Milano is flying down to Xandar which is currently under attack by a new guy, Kang the Conqueror. He and his forces are invading Xander looking for something unknown. And he's not afraid to destroy worlds to find it.

"Okay, am I the only one seeing a sword spaceship?" Peter asks looking out the window.

"You're not the only one," Quill confirms.

"Guardians?" Nova Prime calls them on the communicators. "Kang the conqueror is attacking. Were evacuating everyone as fast as we can, but we need more men on the ground." She explains the situation to them.

"Relax, Nova Prime, the Calvary is here. No problem we can't punch, no payment we won't accept." Quill tells her.

"MJ, Eliza, everything okay back there?" Gamora asks as the two of them are working on the controls that are getting damaged.

"We're working on it!" MJ replies while putting out a fire with her foam webs.

"Okay, Rocket, take over controls," Peter tells his raccoon father. "We're going down there to give them a hand." He tells the rest of them and they follow.

"Let's go kick some Kang," Quill says agreeing and they start leaving.

Peter was the first to make it to the hangar doors and Mantis got them open for the team and they see it's a million-foot drop between them and the ground.

"Alright, let's jump..." Quill was in the middle of telling them when Drax just leaps out of the Milano. "As soon as we're low enough!" He yells to Drax.

"Was he even wearing a jet-pack?" MJ asks.

"He doesn't even wear a shirt." Peter reminds her. "He and his sensitive nipples." He mumbled before he and Quill leaped from the ship and start flying around and destroying the ships while Quill saves Drax from certain death.

"Peter, how's it going?" Gamora asks him from his comlink as he flies and blasts every enemy ship he comes across.

"Goin' fine, Gamora," Peter tells her when his senses go off and he turns around to see something new flying at him.

It was someone flying onboard a glider-like device, and he was coming after Peter.

Peter tries blasting him, but the glider seems to be even stronger than these ships.

"This is a new one," Peter admits and flies after him.

The man flies and avoids every attack from Peter before grabbing him by the throat.

"A Guardian of the Galaxy. I should have known." The freak tells Peter.

"Am I supposed to know who you are?" Peter asks this guy before blasting himself free and starts to glide to the ground to figure out what's going on.


On the ground, the original Peter is swinging through the city trying to figure out where he is.

"Karen, can you hear me?" Peter calls for his A.I. which appears to have stopped working since he followed the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn into that dimensional portal.

"Okay, so Norman dragged me through a portal to some parallel Earth. Except I'm not even on Earth, and I'm apparently part of a team of heroes known as the Guardians of the Galaxy." Peter recaps everything he's learned and looks up to see the giant sword-shaped ship.

"Okay, focus, Peter." He tells himself while looking around the strange alien world he's on. "This place is incredible. Okay, step one; find this reality's Spider-Man. Spent two; to stop Norman from collecting his DNA. Step three; take a selfie somewhere to make Ava and Coulson jealous when I get home." He lists and sees there are people in trouble with some evil robots.

"Oh, no you don't. This may not be my world, but I still need to help." Peter states and swings in and kicks the evil robot back from the civilians.

"Greetings, robots. Seeing as you're most likely evil robots, this is going to be fun." Peter tells the robots while sending a taser web at the robots, taking them down.

"Wow. You know, for advanced technology, I expected it to be a bit more...advanced." Peter says when his senses go off and he turns to avoid getting blasted by a robot as it gets defeated by someone who looks a lot similar to Iron Man, but also Spider-Man.

The man lands across from Peter and he comes face to face with this reality's Spider-Man.

"Whoa," Peter says seeing the alternative version of himself. "You're Spider-Man...but who are you?" He asks his duplicate as he walks up to him. "Are you me? How old are you? And what's up with the suit? Trying to copy Stark much?" He wonders.

The alternative Peter doesn't answer and grabs him before tossing him into a wall.

"Great. So who created you? Kree, Sovereign, you an android, clone imposter?" Iron-Peter asks his alternative, younger self.

"Android? Clone? God, your life sounds so much cooler than mine." Peter admits and stands back up. "No, I'm none of those things. I'm here to help you. You're in danger." He tries explaining.

"Yeah? Well, welcome to every day of my life." Iron-Peter informs him.

"Look, I'm you. I know what I'm going to say sounds crazy, but I am Spider-Man. This is gonna be hard to believe because even I find it hard to believe. I'm from a parallel universe. I did mention I'm not crazy, right?" Peter asks.

The Guardian Peter just scoffs as he laughs and retracts his mask to show Peter his older self.

"Wow. I'm old." Peter comments on his looks while removing his own mask.

"I'm in my late twenties. You look like you just got my powers. And I was five at the time." Iron-Peter informs him.

"Hey! I'm fifteen and have had these powers ever since I was born." Peter states.

"Okay, back to the part where I'm in danger?" Iron-Peter asks him.

"Right. Sorry. There's someone from my reality who's here and he's after your DNA." Peter explains to him.

"Let me guess, tall, green, face like a Skrull?" Guardian Peter asks referring to the guy he was fighting earlier.

"What's a Skrull?" Peter asks, never hearing of those things before when both of their senses go off they turn and avoid a missile coming in and look to see the Green Goblin has caught up with both of them.

"Well, Well, Well. Look who made the trip." Norman says to Peter. "And you already made a new friend. Looks like you're a hero in this reality as much as you are in ours." He states.

"You know this guy?" Iron-Peter asks his younger self while placing their masks back on.

"He's been trying to kill me for the past several years," Peter explains as Goblin comes flying in to attack them.

Both of the Spider-Men go charging in to stop him.

Peter swings up and tries to kick him, but Norman predicted it and has upgraded his armor and throws him away.

Guardian Peter comes flying in and Norman sends a missile at him, sending him flying.

"Okay, take this," Guardian Peter tells Norman before raising his wrist to shoot out a taser missile. But Norman was able to take it and hit Peter, causing him to drop in pain.

"No!" Peter shouts, seeing Spider-Man down.

Seeing he's down for the count, Norman sends out a small drone and it collects the Spider-Man's blood.

"Now I have what I came for, on to the next," Norman says as he opens a new portal and disappears into it.

"You're not getting away this easily!" Peter promises before webbing Goblin's glider and gets pulled into the portal with Norman.

Guardian Peter later wakes up and sees the Goblin guy and his younger self is gone.

"Well, that just happened," Peter says when the Milano comes flying down and lands.

"You okay, Pete?" Quill asks as he helps him get back up.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Had a run-in with some weird version of myself from an alternative reality who was fighting a Goblin-like villain." Peter tries explaining.

"You sure you didn't hit your head, kid?" Rocket asks him.

"Where's Kang?" Peter wonders, changing the subject.

"He escaped, he appears to be on a course to earth," Mantis tells them from inside the Milano.

"We gotta get there and warn the Avengers," Peter states and they head into the Milano.


(A/N) Okay, are we all good with this? As I said, this was supposed to have happened years ago by the point we get to GOTG 3 main history. If I knew this movie was going to happen back in 2019, I would have changed and written it accordingly. But this was mostly supposed to be a one-off chapter, showing they got a good ending after the story was over. But you guys seem eager to see an official finale, and I was a little interested in finally giving Rocket and Peter an official canon backstory.

So let's get ready...for one last ride.
