Chapter 13 - Saving Our Galaxy

Gamora, Drax, Groot, Peter, and I take the Milano while Rocket takes another ship.
"This is a terrible plan," Gamora remarks as we begin our flight. Her voice just radiates negativity. "Hey, you're the one who said you wanted to die among friends," Peter shoots back. I lean back in the co-pilot seat, watching as we fly over Xandar and follow Yondu's ship.

Eventually, we get close enough to the Dark Aster. Almost the closest I've been to it since it landed on Knowhere. "Fire!" Yondu orders. Two huge blasts shoot out from a pair of ships, flying out toward the Dark Aster. They stop right in front of it and turn into a big, firey wall. "Cover it down!"

The wall presses against Ronan's ship, giving whoever is inside no sight of where all of our ships are. "Submerge!" All of the Ravager ships, including the Milano dive down below The Dark Aster. Rocket's ship is right behind us.
"Rocket, hurry up!" I tell him over the microphone. The Milano is almost fully below Ronan's ship when Rocket leads two additional ships ahead of the Milano. The three ships fly up to the center of the Dark Aster and begin shooting at it.

Before we know it, hundreds of ships fly out from Ronan's ship. "Alright," I sigh to myself. "This is happening." Peter puts himself into deep focus, flying the Milano away from the necroblasts coming from the smaller ships.

Suddenly, the Dark Aster begins to move forward after being still for so long. "Quill! Yondu! Now!" Rocket yells. Yondu's ship follows the Milano, joining us in shooting down the enemy ships. I shoot down as many ships that come into my line of sight. It's like a light show with how many are exploding in the air. I've always been good with weapons, it's just a gift I have.

Still, you'd think that Ronan would make his ships more durable. Instead, they explode like fireworks just with a few shots. Plus, the Dark Aster only took a few seconds to have a hole blown through it.
"Aw, hell!" I hear Yondu's voice over the speakers. "I'm going down! No more games with me! I'll see you both at the end of this!" Oh, shit. Okay, okay.... we still have a chance. Yondu will be okay. He can definitely handle himself.

Thousands of ships swarm us, not stopping at anything. "There's too many!" I exclaim. Out of the corner of my eye, a ship shaped like a star zips past us as it shoots some of Ronan's ships down. Oh my god... is it...?

"Peter Quill." A voice takes over our speakers. "This is Denarian Saal of the Nova Corps," he announces. "For the record, I advised against trusting you here." "They got my 'dick' message!" Peter cheers, looking at me joyfully. "Your- Huh? Your what message?" "Prove me wrong," Saal declares to us.

Peter picks up the speed on the Milano as soon as there's a clearing. We fly directly into the hole Rocket and the others made. Now, we're officially inside Ronan's ship. "Yes!" Drax shouts before laughing a long, hearty laugh. He holds onto the side of the ship, keeping himself in place. Peter and I exchange a look of confusion as we make it deeper into the Dark Aster.

Many soldiers stand inside, shooting at us as fast as they can with necroblasts. Peter makes a sharp turn as I hold on, shooting them back as the Milano gets close enough to the soldiers. The bottom of the Milano drags against the ground, slowing us greatly. I only let go of the trigger once I see absolutely nobody left.

"YES!" Drax bellows, raising his fists in the air and laughing once more. I can't help but join him in chuckling hysterically. My heart pounds in my chest as adrenaline runs through my whole body. I practically feel Gamora's judgemental eyes burn through me and Drax, while Groot smiles softly. Peter is just silently shocked that we made it.

I take a few breaths before clearing my throat and letting my smile relax. "Alright, let's get to it," I tell everyone, calmly. Everyone else gets out of their seats-- or in Drax and Groot's case, lets go of the wall they were clinging onto. I unhook both of my guns from my belt, as does Peter. We give each other a nod before opening up the door.
