A chunk of the rear of the craft disappeared and Nebula was sucked towards the hole, but, fortunately, her arms were shackled to a post, so she didn't fly out. But her face and body began to cover with Frost.
———
Everything in the flight deck flew around the spacecraft, rushing through the hole. Liv hurriedly buckled up as everyone was in terror mode.
Groot went flying but Quill caught him, and casually tossed him back to Liv, who quickly cradled the baby. He then punched in a code into the system.
———
A protective energy shield slid up in front of the hole, which caused Nebula to collapse to the floor. "Idiots!" She yelled upstairs.
———
Everyone caught their breath, relieved, but it wasn't over. Of course, none of them were thinking about anything else at that moment. "Well, that's what you get when Quill flies," Rocket said.
Liv then threw something hard at the back of his head while still cradling Groot. "Ow!"
"There's still a Sovereign craft behind us!" Gamora snapped at him.
Then the electronics flickered and Liv sighed, knowing what that meant. "Our weapons are down!" Quill yelled.
"Great," Liv muttered.
"Twenty clicks to the jump," Gamora said.
A Sovereign pilot blasted at them from the sole Sovereign Craft, taking out another part of a wing, causing the Milano to tremble. Drax started climbing down into the living area while Liv watched him go. "Where are you going?"
———
Downstairs, Nebula saw the bowl of yard root had spilled in front of her. She reached for a piece, but it was kicked out of her way. She annoyingly looked up to see Drax, who grabbed a cable on a spool attached to the wall. "It's not ripe," Drax said before he hooked the cable to his belt. A folder on the wall read: SPACESUITS FOR EMERGENCY, and below that, in Rocket's scrawl: OR FOR FUN.
Drax pulled a small disk from the folder then slapped it between his shoulder blades and a shimmery sheath covered his entire body — a thin force-field spacesuit.
———
Meanwhile, on the flight deck, Gamora watched the map that led to the jump point. "Fifteen clicks," she informed before another blast from the Sovereign craft hit them.
———
Drax grabbed a huge rifle before punching buttons on the wall. A second protective shield opened up between him and Nebula, and the first protective sheath opened, exposing him to space. He jumped out the back of the Milano before he smiled to himself. The cable unspooled and snapped taut when it reached its end. Drax was dragged haphazardly by the Milano like a water sled on a boat.
———
On the flight deck, the map showed they were getting closer and closer to jumping. "Ten clicks," Gamora told them.
———
A Sovereign pilot blasted wildly at Drax, just missing him by mere inches. But Drax brought the sight to his eye and aimed at the ship. "Die, spaceship!" And he shot, blasting the Sovereign ship aggressively.
———
As Quill and Rocket left the asteroid field, it seemed for a moment they were scot-free. "Five clicks!"
