1 year after they saved the galaxy.

The Sovereign. The Guardians were all hired to stop a creature from feasting on their powerful batteries. Quill gets something on his scanner. "Show time, A-holes." Quill says. "It'll be there any minute." "Which will be its loss." Gamora says. She pulls out a gigantic gun. "I thought your thing was a sword." Quill says. "We we're hired to stop a inner dimensional traveling beast from resting on these batteries and I'm gonna do it with a sword?" She asked. "It's just guns were my thing and swords were yours. I guess we're both doing guns, I just didn't know that." Quill says. "Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket and Peter's aero rigs?" Gamora asked him. "It hurts." He says. "It hurts?" Peter asked, getting his Iron-Spider suit repulsers ready. "I have sensitive nipples." Drax says. Rocket bursts out laughing. "'My nipples hurt, oh goodness me.'" He keeps laughing. "What about him? What's he doing?" Drax asks as Rocket is working on the stereo. "I'm finishing this so we can listen to tunes while we work." Rocket says. "Why is that your priority?" Peter asks. "Blame Quill, kid. He's the one who loves music so much." Rocket says. "No, I agree with Drax and Pete on this one, that's hardly a priority." Quill says. "Oh, okay, sure Quill." Rocket says winking. "No, seriously, I side with them." He says. "No, I understand that, you're being serious right now." Rocket says. "We can see you winking, man." Peter says. "Damn, I'm using my wrong eye?" Rocket asks. Baby Groot comes running in chasing some creatures. "I am Groot." He says. "They were not looking at you funny, Groot." Peter says. They sky splits open and they see the octopus like creature. "Oh, that's intense." Rocket says. It crashes down and they all run at it. In the mean time. Groot is finishing up the speakers and they start playing Mr. Blue Skies. Groot starts dancing around to the music. Peter gets thrown off it's tentacle and starts blasting at it with his repulsers. He looks down and sees him. "Groot-" he doesn't get to finish as Quill flies in and hits him backwards while he was distracted. Groot keeps dancing and Gamora keeps shooting at it. "Groot, get out of the way. You're gonna get hurt." She says and he just waves at her. "Hi." She says. Groot keeps dancing until Drax gets thrown next to him and he freezes. As soon as Drax leaves, he starts dancing again. He sees a fly-like creature and eats it. Rocket flies up to him. "No, no. Spit it out. Come on." He says as he gets it out. "Disgusting." Rocket says as he rejoins the fight. Groot keeps on dancing and chases after the creatures that looked at him funny. He gets back near the speakers and Drax comes crashing on them. He gets back up and looks back at the creature. "The beast is too thick to be pierced from the outside, I must cut it from within." Drax says and charges. "Wait a minute. Drax!" Gamora says as he leaps into it's mouth. "What is he doing?" Peter asks completely confused. "He says it's to thick from the outside-" Gamora says until Quill cuts her off.

"That doesn't make sense." Quill says

"I tried telling him that." She says

"The thickness is the same inside than the outside." He says

"I realize that." She says angered.

Inside the beast, Drax is trying to cut it and nothing's working. Peter then sees something. "Guys, it has a cut on its neck." They all notice it. "Rocket, get it to look up!" Quill says as they fly off and start shooting at it. Gamora tried getting a shot and can't shoot as the gun is jammed. She drops it and pulls her sword out. She leaps up it and slices it's throat open and it dies. Drax starts crawling out of it's chest. "Yes!" He cheers. "I have single handily vanquished the beast!" He says. Groot throws a pebble at his head. "What?" He asked. In the morning, they all take off their packs and Peter retracts his suit. "What are they called again?" Drax asks. "Amulax batteries." Quill says. "Harbulary batteries." Drax says. "That's nothing like what he just said." Peter says. "But they're worth billions on the market. Which is why the Sovereign hired us to protect them." Quill says. "Careful what you say around these people. They're easily offended. The price for transgression is death." He finishes.
