Ships start departing. Gamora says that this is a terrible plan.
"The plan worked." Quill pointed out.
"It nearly got us killed." Gamora countered. "Just because it worked doesn't mean it was good."
Peter reminds her that she's the one who said that she wanted to die amongst friends.
"It's true, you did say that." Drax pointed out, as if everyone else didn't already know.
Dey walks to Nova Prime and says that he received a message form the Ravagers that says that Ronan has an Infinity Stone and he's headed for Xandar.
Carol felt her body tense. The Kree- Ronan and his rhetoric- has been her problem ever since she started realizing what the Kree and the Supreme Intelligence were doing to her. She thinks she should have been- should be?- on Xandar during all of this.
Saal says that it's a trick and says that Peter is a criminal.
Quill made a face. Just because he was technically a criminal doesn't mean he's a liar. Besides, who would make any of this up? What would they gain from it?
Nova Prime asks if he said why he should believe him.
"Why would someone lie about something like this in the first place?" Peter asked.
Dey says that he and his crew just escaped prison so they'd have no reason to risk coming to Xandar.
"He's right on that point." Natasha said, "Why else would they ask the Nova Corps for help if they were considered criminals of Xandar, and subsequently, the Nova Corps themselves? It would just land them right back in prison."
Dey quotes Peter's message by saying that 'he says he's an A-hole but he's not 100% a dick.'
"That's what you sent them?" Pepper asked, incredulously. Quill just shrugged in response.
Nova Prime asks if Dey believes Peter.
Dey says that he doesn't believe that anyone is 100% a dick.
"I don't think that's what she was asking." Carol said.
Nova Prime asks if Dey believes Peter is there to help.
Dey says he does.
"Good. It worked, at least you've got someone else on your side." Steve said.
Nebula walks up to Ronan and tells him that a Ravager fleet is approaching.
The ravagers approach the Dark Aster. A barrier starts to encase the Dark Aster. Yondu tells the ships to submerge. The fleet flies below the Dark Aster.

Everyone leaned forward in anticipation.
The Ravagers make a hole in the Dark Aster.
"Finally."
Rocket tells Peter and Yondu to go now.

"Is he going to keep that promise?" MJ asked.
"Actually, yes." Quill answered.
Gamora says that there's too many ships and they won't make it up there. Nova ships join them.
Saal arrives and tells Peter that he's of the Nova Corps and says that he advised against trusting him.

"Okay, out of context that just sounds wrong." Tony said.
Saal tells Peter to prove him wrong.
"Oh we sure proved him wrong." Rocket said.

"You're so mean to them." Gamora said.
"Thank you." Nebula replied.
Nova Prime tells the Nova pilots to form a blockade and says that the Dark Aster can't reach the surface. The nova ships start making a net around the Dark Aster.
Everyone was impressed by Xandar's security system.
Peter, Drax, Gamora and Groot make their way through the ship. Dtax says that he can't see.
Groot releases a bunch of small lights. Gamora asks when he learned to do that.
Peter says that he's pretty sure the answer is 'I am Groot.'
Everyone laughed, to be fair the answer will be 'I am groot'.
"That is very useful." Natasha said.
Gamora says that the flight deck is in 300 meters.
Drax says that he wants them to know that he's grateful for their acceptance of his mistakes. He says that it's pleasing to have friends again.
"That's nice." Maria said. "Finally becoming a team." Coulson added.
He says Peter his friend. Peter thanks him.
He says Groot is his friend, and calls him a dumb tree.
He calls Gamora a green whore.
Gamora tells him to stop.
"He still needs to learn a thing or two about politeness." May said.
"I am extraordinarily polite." Drax said.
"And humility." May added.
Nebula finds them and tells her to look at what she's done. She says that Gamora has always been weak and calls her stupid and traitorous. Drax fires at her, effectively stopping her from continuing.
Drax says that no one talks to his friends like that.
Everybody smiled.
Gamora tells them to go to the flight deck and says that she'll shut down the power to the security doors.
Everybody looked pleased with the guardian's plan. So far, its gone off without a hitch.
Yondu picks up his frog. A soldier tells him to order his men to turn on the Nova Corps. More soldiers join. Yondu starts whistling, the arrow floats.

"God, I want it so bad." Clint said.
"No." Natasha said.

Ronan tells the necropilots to enact immolation initiative.
A pilot says that the necrocraft are dive-bombing the city and asks Saal if they should break their formation.
Saal tells them to hold their positions. Ronan starts firing on the city, civilians panic.
"Oh my god." Everyone had looks on their faces that ranged from Anger to fear. Ronan was sick a twisted bastard that was a fact.
Rocket says to keep Ronan up there and they;ll take care of the people on the ground.
Saal says that he can't believe he's taking orders from a hamster.
"I thought he was a rabbit." Thor said.
Peter, Drax and Groot run into Ronan's soldiers. Korath greets Peter by calling him Star-Lord.
Peter says finally.
"Fight now, celebrate later." Gamora said.
He throws Peter to the ground. The two groups start fighting. Peter gets thrown into a wall. Drax stabs two of the soldiers. Drax starts fighting him, Korath hits him on the head. Korath says that they'll never make it to Ronan.
"You sure about that?" Rocket asked.
Rocket says to shoot the necrocraft before they hit the ground. The ravagers start shooting Ronan's fleet. Meanwhile, Gamora and Nebula are still fighting, as well as the other guardians. Peter starts shooting the soldiers.
"The Kree are tough to beat." Steve said.
"Tell me about it." Quill said.
Drax says that a finger to the throat means death kills Korath. Then says that its a metaphor
"Did you just turn a metaphor into a real thing?" Natasha asked.
More soldiers enter. Groot sticks his arm through a group of them, then smashes them on the ground. He turns around and smiles.
"It a weird, morbid way, he reminds me of the other guy." Bruce said.
Ronan says that Xandar stands accused. He says that their peace treaty can't save them now. He uses the power stone to break the nova barrier.
"Shit!" Everyone yelled.
Saal calls out to Rocket. Rocket tells him to hold on. Saal ship gets destroyed. The barrier is destroyed and the Dark Aster starts moving toward the surface of the planet.
"Oh no." Hope said.
Nebula looked guilty, knowing that she played a part in this.
Rocket tells Peter to hurry. He says that the city has been evacuated but they're getting their asses kicked.
Peter says that Gamora hasn't opened the door.
Gamora and Nebula looked at one another awkwardly.
Gamora and Nebula are still fighting. Nebula electrocutes Gamora, who kicks her off the ship, Nebula latches onto it. Gamora tells her to help them fight Ronan because she knows he's crazy.
Nebula says that she knows that they're both crazy. She cuts her hand off and falls.
Thor and Loki were both vividly reminded of their fight on the bi-frost.
She lands on a ravager ship and punches through the glass. She tells the man to get out, the man falls from the ship. Gamora de-activates the security, and the door opens, she joins the other three. Ronan stands in front of them.
Everyone started cheering the guardians on.
Peter shoots him with the weapon Rocket made, causing a large explosion. Drax says that Peter did it. Ronan stands back up.
"How?" Everyone asked.
"The Kree are very strong." Gamora answered.
Drax runs toward him, Ronan takes him by the throat. Ronan says that he does remember Drax's family and says that their screams were pitiful.
Drax glared at the screen, a murderous look on his face.
Rocket crashes into the ship.
"Take that!" Peter yells.
