CHAPTER 07

TAULANA LEFT THE ROOM AND RAN down the destroyed corridor, looking for Groot and Rocket. She found them outside and ran over to make sure they were okay,

"How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the orb?" Gamora ranted as she and Peter left the building, still holding the metal sphere,

"What do you still have it for?!" Rocket exclaimed,

"Well, what are we gonna do, leave it in there?" Peter questioned,

"I can't believe you had that in your purse!" Rocket yelled, pointing at Peter's bag,

"It's not a purse, it's a knapsack!" Peter defended, glaring at the raccoon,

"We have to bring this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it." Gamora said and Rocket shook his head,

"Are you kidding me? We're wanted by the Nova Corps! Just give it to Ronan!"

"So he can destroy the galaxy?"

"What are you, some Saint all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?" Rocket questioned,

"Because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!" Peter answered and Lana raised an eyebrow,

"He's got you on that one, Rocket."

Gamora turned to Peter, holding out the orb, "Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova."

"Right, right, okay. I think you're right." Peter nodded, "Or we could give it to somebody who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice for a whole lot of money. I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view."

Gamora glared at Peter, "You're despicable."

"I..."

"Dishonorable." Gamora turned and began to walk off, "Faithless!" She stopped when she noticed Ronan and his crew arriving in their ships "Oh, no."

Drax stood before them, holding up swords, "At last! I shall meet my foe and destroy him."

Peter stepped forward, "You called Ronan?!"

"Dude... not cool." Taulana sighed,

"Quill! Don't you move boy!"

Peter grabbed Lana's hand and they ran to the right towards a fleet of mining pods, leaving Drax behind to face Ronan.

Groot followed behind Rocket and Taulana as they got into their own pods, "I told you, you can't fit. Now, wait here. We'll be back." Rocket told him,
