Quill and Ego are exhausted, on their knees and leaning against one another, Ego trying to reach for the core.. "No, we need to stop it!" Quill throws him to the ground. But Ego comes back up, grasping his son's jacket, pleading with him now "Listen to me! You are a god! If you kill me, you'll just be like everyone else!"
  "What's so wrong with that?"
Ego looks at his son, scared. "NO -" The countdown reaches zero.The brain explodes, The explosion causes the life forces to burst through the planet, Everything around Quill is exploding. He looks down at his hands, where the glow fades and disappears, he gazes up at the walls around him as they blow up and collapse. Lowing his head Quill was at peace with the death that would come to him. when, from the side, through the debris- Yondu flew towards him on an aero-rig, grabbing Yondu, almost a tackling, lifting Quill up and flying away.

As Yondu and Quill fly upward into space, the planet explodes behind
them, flames licking their heels, huge stretches of the planet caving in. Yondu holds a surprised Quill as they soar up into the sky  "He may have been your father, boy. But he wasn't your daddy." "What?" "I'm sorry I didn't do it right. I'm damn lucky you're my boy."
Quill is touched from his words, out of nowhere Yondu slaps the spacesuit disk onto Quill's chest and the shimmer sheathe covers him the spacesuit disk onto Quill "What?" Quill said, realizing what happen to
Y/N is happening to him as Yondu breathes out completely as he can, emptying his lungs. And they exit the planets atmosphere.
Quill struggles to get free, but Yondu holds him there, trapping him, but in an embrace. The entire planet collapse behind him.
"Yondu, you can't! What are you doing? What are you doing?!" Quill cries out, Yondu's jet pack expires its supply of fuel, and they stop their, in space. Floating as Yondu's grip weakens. Quill turns Yondu grabs his son's face with both hands, looking and
touching him with love. " No." Quill whimpers as Yondu's face expands and his body freezes over, going limp as he floats their and he starts drifting away, Quill grabs onto Yondu's shirt as he cries, losing his only person who truly was a father to him "No!" Quill whimpers again. behind him, Rocket and Drax propel themselves toward him in aero-rigs, grabbing him.

Few hour past
Yondu's body lies on a plank here, Various colored cloths are laid in strips over his body and face, yaro lilies beneath him, red-fired pyres and Yondu's toys all around. Rocket, Y/N, Groot, Drax, Gamora, Mantis, and Kraglin surround the table. Quill is at the head. He has to say a few words. But it is not easy.

"The other day I told Gamora how I used to pretend my dad was David Hasselhoff." Quill said as Rocket and Drax exchange a look. "He's a singer and actor from earth... a really famous guy." Drax nods.
"And, you know, today it struck me. Yondu didn't have a talking car, but he did have a flying arrow. And he didn't have the voice of an angel, but he did have the whistle of one. And both David Hasselhoff and Yondu went on kickass adventures, and hooked up with hot women, and fought robots." Quill says, looking over at Y/N who is tearing up. She look at him, Quill grab her hand "So, the thing is, David Hasselhoff kinda did end up being my Dad after all, only he was Yondu. I had a pretty cool Dad." Quill starts to break down. "And what I'm trying to say here is, that thing you're searching for your whole life, sometimes it's right there by your side all along and you don't even know it." Quill says "so Y/N I guess we are more... alike then we actually knew"

Gamora sees Nebula, watching from a darkened doorway, before
she turns and walks away. She moves after her.

Groot looks up at an upset Rocket. "I am Groot." Rocket chuckle "He did call you 'twig.'"


The Guardians lift Yondu on the plank. A bulbous and rusty crematory is at the center of the room. It doesn't burn witfire, They slide Yondu in  as they watch with sadness and respect as
his body is enveloped by the sparkling colors. Quill closes the door on the crematory.

As Quill moves away, Kraglin approaches. "Pete." Quill turns toward him. He's holding something.
"Cap'n found this for you in a junker shop. Said someday you'd come back to the fold." Kraglin puts an MP3 player in his hand.
"It's called a Zune - what everyone listens to on earth nowadays. It's got three hundred songs." Quill nods, touched. "Wait." Quill holds out Yondu's arrow. Kraglin's lip trembles.
"Rocket grabbed the pieces and reassembled them. I think Yondu would want you to have it."
"Thank you... Cap'n."

Reader POV
Yondu's sparkling ashes are blown out in spurts from the crematory into space, watching while Rocket, Drax, and Mantis are here, watching Yondu's ashes in the vacuum of space, swirling almost magically, I felt two arms wrap around my waist. Looking back, I see Rocket, he held me tightly as fireworks went off. I jump lightly as I look forward "they came" Rocket said
"What is it?" Drax ask, holding me tighter as he Rocket puts his head on my shoulder " I sent word to Yondu's old Ravager buddies and told them what he did." Quill comes up beside us with Groot, just as Gamora enters. Quill smiles "It's a Ravager funeral."

Hearing Kraglin yell out of excitement, Rocket kiss my cheek "I love you Y/N... sorry I never said it" I look over at Rocket "I love you too"
