The Mission

CH8 A Friend

The Collector led us to his desk or whatever and explained the powers of the orb. I now understood why Ronan wanted it so bad.

"Blah blah blah!",retorted Rocket next to me. "We expect to get paid!"

"With what?",he asked calmly as he opened some cabinet.

"Units!",Rocket and I retorted at the same time.

"Oh well",he began to search in for units. I noticed that other girl staring at the orb like treasure m. She was slowly walking to it. I nudged Rocket slightly.

"Huh?",he looked at me. It was too late. She grabbed it and yelled," I will no longer be your slave!"

Then the whole place exploded and Groot carried Rocket and me outside.

"The others?",I asked loudly as the heat felt hotter and nearer.

"They'll take care!",said Rocket and then BOOM!

I was on the floor covered in dust and coughing as Rocket dusted off the dust.

"I have my revenge!",I heard that familiar voice as Groot helped me up.

"He's such a-",Rocket began until we were shoves. Everyone was running away from him.

"Drax is an total idiot",I sighed as I looked at the powerful ships and saw Ronan get off the main ship. He was so tall in life. He looked kinda creepy with the dark outfit and bluish skin.

"I agree",he nodded. Peter came in with Gamora a few seconds later.

"I can't believe you had that in your purse!",Rocket yelled in frustration.

"It's not a purse, it's a knapsack!", retorted Peter. I smirked.

" still Kinda girly",I giggled. Peter was annoyed, but his expression changed when he saw the commotion.

"I didn't get my units!",I retorted at him.

"Wasn't my fault!",Peter got angry.

"Come on!",Peter lead us to some ships as Drax fought Ronan. Drax was beaten like a tiny kitten against a T-Rex.

"These ships only can have one!",Rocket said making Groot upset. I patted his back. "Hey aren't us going?!"

"No, I'm gonna help out, Drax",I shook my head.

"Why, it's his fault!",he began. "His fight he wanted!"

"He's my friend!",I was frustrated and left. He sighed out loud as I left.

"You're gonna die!",he seemed to have worry in his words.

"Didn't I make myself clear?!",I looked at him irritated. "I'm not getting on that ship, I have to help my friend!"

"Oh well",he muttered as I left him. Groot now stood alone.

"Hey!",I waved. "Come on, be done good waste of space",Groot smiled nicely.

"I AM GROOT",he smirks and walked by me. I ran towards Ronan and tackled him.

"(Name)!?",Drax was stunned as I came. Ronan pushed me off him roughly and brought his hammer up.

Groot came in and wrapped his vines around the jackass, but he ripped them. Left the poor tree armless like the other time when I first met them.

"What are you doing?!",Ronan laughed at us. He was doing that evil laugh.

He brought his hammer up then Drax tackled him down but Ronan pushed him against the wall as he chocked him.

"Groot!",I yelled. "Can't us just grow your arms again?!"

"I AN GROOT",I sighed. Probably meant no since he didn't anything , but shake his head.

"Hey,blue freak!",I yelled waving my arms at him.

He turned and looked at me with those fierce dark purple eyes.

He grabbed be by the neck and the. He did to Drax too.

His hands were so strong and I could barely breathe. I kept trying to stop him. He was chocking the life outta me.

"I don't remember killing your wife and daughter",he said clearly , but darkly to Drax then threw us in those gooey vats. I couldn't swim, but anyways I was too weak. So was Drax.

The chemicals were the worst thing I ever felt. But I couldn't leave a friend alone.
