Their just outside Knowhere and are shooting at the lead ship. Peter is on top of the ship using his metallic arms to stay attached holding a gigantic weapon. "Attention, idiots." Rocket says "the child on top of this craft is holding a hadron enforcer." "A weapon of my own design." Peter cuts him off. "If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one." Rocket continues. "We're giving you to the count of 5. 5, 4, 3-" "Rocket, it's me, for God's sake don't fire, we're fine!" They hearQuill say through the speakers. "Oh, hey Quill. What's going on?" Rocket asks. Peter just rolls his eyes and puts his weapon away for another day.

Inside the ship they tell them they made a deal with the Ravengers to help stop Ronin and they get the stone. "You call that figured out?! Rocket yells, "we're gonna rob the guys that just beat us senseless?" Peter asks. "Oh, you wanna talk about senseless? How about trying to save us by blowing us up?" Quill argues back. "We were only gonna blow you up if they didn't turn you over." Rocket says

"And how on earth were they gonna do that when you gave them to the count of 5?" He yells. "Well, we didn't have time to work out the minutiae of the plan. This is what we get for acting altruistically." Rocket says. "I am Groot." Groot replies, "they are ungrateful." Rocket says. "What's important now is we use the Ravengers army to help us stop Ronin." Gamora interjects.

"So we can give the stone to Yondu who's gonna sell it to somebody even worse?" Peter asks.

"We'll figure out that part later." Quill says.

"We have to stop Ronin." Gamora says.

"How?" Rocket asks. "I have a plan." Quill says, "you have a plan?" Peter asks, not believing him, "yes." Quill says. "First off, you're copying me for when I says "I have a plan"." Rocket says. "No I'm not. People say it all the time, it's not a unique thing to say." He says. "And I don't think he believes you have a plan. Neither do I." Peter says. "I have...part of a plan." Quill says. "What percentage of a plan do you have?" Drax asks. "You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere." Gamora says. "I just saved Quill." Drax says angry. "We just established that blowing the ship I'm on isn't saving me." Quill says. "When did we discuss that?" Drax asks, "LIKE 3 SECONDS AGO!" Peter says getting frustrated with this guy. "I wasn't paying attention. I was focused on something else." Drax says calmly. Everyone rolls their eyes at him, beside Groot. "She's right. You don't get a opinion." Rocket says.

"What percentage?" He asks Quill. "I don't know, 12%." Quill answers. "12%?" Peter asks. Rocket bursts laughing. "That's a fake laugh." Quill says, "it's real!" Rocket says. "Totally fake." Quill says. "That is the most real, authentic laugh I've ever done because that is not a plan." Rocket says. "It's barley a concept." Gamora whispers. "You're taking their side?" Quill asks. "I am Groot." Groot says. "So What If it's better than 10%? What's that have to do with anything?" Peter asks. "Thank you, Groot. See? Groot is the only one of you who understands." He says as Groot starts eating his own elbow. Quill looks away annoyed. "Guys, Yondu is going to be here in 3 seconds waiting to hear this big plan of ours. I need your help. I look around us and you wanna know what I see?" They all look at him. "Losers. And I mean, like, people who has lost stuff. And we have, man. We have. All of us. Our homes. Families. Normal lives. And usually life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. Today, it's giving us a chance." "To do what?" Peter asks. "To give a shit. For once. Not run away." Quill answers.

"I, for one, am not gonna stand by and watch as Ronin wipes out billions of innocent people." He finishes. "Quill, stopping Ronin, it's impossible." Rocket says. "You're asking us to die." Peter finishes. "Yeah, maybe I am." He says looking away. "Quill. I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. I will be grateful to die amongst my friends." She says standing up. "You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter again." Drax says smiling. "I am Groot." Groot stands up. He looks towards them. Peter sighs "Well, my uncle always used to tell me "with great power, comes great responsibility." Maybe it's time I took those words to use." He stands up and they all look at Rocket. "Ah, what the hell? It's not like I have a long lifespan anyhow." He says and stands on the box. "There, now I'm standing. You all happy? A bunch of jack asses standing in a circle." Peter chuckles knowing he means well.

They gather up a plan and gather the army. "The stone reacts to anything organic. The bigger the target, the bigger the power surge." Gamora starts off. "All Ronin has to do is touch the stone to the planets surface and then zap. All the plants, animals, Nova Corp." Quill says, "everything will die." Gamora finishes. "So Ronin doesn't make it to the planets surface." Quill says. Rocket gets his weapon powered up and ready. Peter gets his black and red suit on ready to go. "Rocket and Peter will lead a team to blow a hole in the Dark Aster's starboard hull. Then, our craft followed by Yondu's will enter." Quill explains the plan to them. "Won't there be a 100 Sakaraain soldiers inside?" A Ravenger asks. "I think of them as paper people." Drax says. "Once they know we're on board, Ronin will isolate himself behind impenetrable security doors on deck. Which I can disable by dismantling the power source." Gamora says explaining her role in the plan. "We'll make it to the flight deck and I'll use the hadron enforcer to kill Ronin." Quill says. "Once Ronin is dead, we will retrieve the stone. Use these devices to contain it." Gamora says. "Remember, you touch the stone, you're good as dead." Peter says. "I'll contact one of the Nova Corp officers who arrested us. Hopefully they'll believe we're here to help." Quill says, "There's one more thing we need to complete the plan. That guys eye!" He points to somebody with a robot eye. "No. We do not need that guys eye." Peter says knowing what he's doing. "No, seriously, I need it...it's...it's important..." he said trying not to laugh.

They're all geared up and are heading to the ships. Drax is walking still with no shirt, Gamora changed into a new suit, Quill replaced his damaged equipment, Peter has upgraded his suit, Rocket is holding his blaster over his shoulder. They make it to the hanger. "Let's go get 'em, boys!" They hear Yondu shout. They release from the ship and all fly off. "This is a terrible plan." Gamora says on the Milano. "Hey, you're the one who wanted to die among friends." Quill says as they fly into battle.
