Guardians of the Galaxy

Friends

On Yondu's ship, Yondu is beating Peter who's being held by Yondu's men. Yondu had his men hold Mara back.
"You betrayed me! Steal my money!" Yondu yelled.
"Stop it! Leave him alone!" Mara was almost on the verge of tears seeing people being beat.
"When I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted Terran before. I saved your life!" Yondu said.
"Oh, will you shut up about that? God! Twenty years, you've been throwing that in my face, like it's some great thing, not eating me!" Peter spoke out of breath. "Normal people don't even think about eating someone else! Much less that person having to be grateful for it! You abducted me, man. You stole me from my home and from my family." Peter argued.
"You don't give a damn about your Terra! You're scared because you're soft, in here." Yondu beats Peter's chest "Here! Right here!" Yondu grabs Peter again to hit him.
"Yondu! Listen to me! Ronan has something called an Infinity Stone." Mara tried to explain.
"I know what he's got, girl." Yondu turned to her.
"Then you know we have to get it back! He's gonna use it to wipe out Xandar. We have to warn them. Billions of people will die." Mara's voice cracked. Yondu looked back at Peter.
"Is that what she's been filling your head with, boy? Sentiment?" Yondu asked as he slaps Peter and his men laugh. "Eating away your brain like maggots! That's it." He said. "Maybe it's her bein like you, boy. Her bein some damn hummie." He whistles commanding his weapon fly over to point at Peter's throat.
"No!" Mara yelled.
"Sorry, boy. But a captain's gotta teach his men what happens to those what cross him." Yondu said.
"Captain's gotta teach stuff! Kraglin shouts to the others. They grunt in agreement.
"If you kill me now, you are saying goodbye to the biggest score you have ever seen." Peter said. Yondu smiles and turns to face Peter
"The Stone? I hope you got something better than that. Because ain't nobody stealing from Ronan." Yondu said.
"We got a ringer." Peter smirked.
"Is that right?" Yondu asked.
"We got someone who knows everything there is to know about Ronan. His ships, his army." Peter said.
"He's vulnerable." Mara said.
"Hey, what do you say, Yondu, huh? Me and you, taking down a mark side-by-side, like the old days." Peter asked. Yondu hesitates as he thinks for a moment, then he whistles and his weapon moves from Peter's throat. Yondu and his men start to laugh and Peter joins in.
"Let him go! Oh! You always did have a scrote, boy! That's why I kept you on as a young'un." Yondu said but just then the ship shakes as it gets hit by something. Yondu, Quill, Mara Kraglin and the others run to the bridge.
"Captain, the shot was non-damaging."The Milano approaching Yondu's ship.
"Attention, idiots. The lunatic on top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer." Rocket says as they see Drax in a space suit standing on top of the Milano holding a weapon. "It's a weapon of my own design."
"What the hell?" Yondu looked at Peter.
"If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one!" Rocket said.
"I ain't buyin' it." Yondu said. Mara looked at him.
"Oh I would. We never fully tested that thing but if you want to put a new crater in a moon, you could." Mara explained. Yondu's jaw dropped.
"I'm giving you to the count of five. Five, four, three..." Peter and Mara stop Kraglin from giving the order to blow up the Milano.
"No!" Peter yelled.
"No, no! Don't!" Mara said. Mara quickly grabs the radio comm. "Rocket, it's me, for God sakes! We figured it out! We're fine!" Mara said.
"Oh, hey, Kid. What's going on?" Rocket asked in a calm voice.

On board the Milano after Peter's explained his plan to the group.
"You call that "figured it out"? We're gonna rob the guys who just beat us senseless." Rocket asked.
"Oh, you want to talk about senseless? How about trying to save us by blowing us up?" Peter said. Mara shook her head.
"We were only gonna blow you up if they didn't turn you over!" Rocket argued.
"And how on earth were they gonna turn us over when you only gave them a count of five?" Mara looked at Rocket.
"Well we didn't have time to work out the minutiae of the plan. This is what we get for acting altruistically!" Rocket said to Mara.
"I am Groot." Groot said. Mara's face fell.
"They are ungrateful." Rocket agreed with the tree. Mara looked back at Rocket. Gamora put her hand on Mara's shoulder.
"What's important now is we get the Ravagers' army to help us save Xandar." Gamora spoke up.
"So we can give the Stone to Yondu who's just gonna sell to somebody even worse?" Rocket said.
"We'll figure that part out later." Peter informed.
"We have to stop Ronan." Gamora sat down.
"How?" Rocket asked.
"I have a plan." Peter smiled.
"You've got a plan?" Rocket asked not believing the man one bit.
"Yes." Peter said furrowing his eyebrows.
"First of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan." Rocket said.
"No, I'm not. People say that all the time, it's not that unique of a thing to say." Peter argued.
"Secondly, I don't even believe you have a plan." Rocket informed.
"I have part of a plan!" Peter exaggerated.
"What percentage of a plan do you have?" Drag asked.
"You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere." Gamora said. Mara leaned over to Drax.
"I just saved Quill." Drax said.
"We've already established that you destroying the ship that I'm on is not saving me." Peter said.
"When did we establish it?" Drax asked.
"Like three seconds ago!" Peter yelled.
"I wasn't listening, I was thinking of something else." Drax looked off to the side. Gamora groaned in frustration.
"She's right, you don't get an opinion." Rocket said to Drax. Then he look at Peter. "What percentage?" Rocket asked.
"I don't know, twelve percent." Peter said.
"Twelve percent?" Rocket laughs out loud. Mara started laughing.
"I know I told him that's not even a starting point in a plan." Mara laughed. Rocket fist bumped her.
"That's was fake laugh." Peter said."
"It's real!" Rocket said loudly.
" Totally fake." Peter shook his head.
"That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life because that is not a plan." Rocket informed.
"It's barely a concept." Gamora shrugged. Peter looked at Gamora in shock.
"You're taking their side?" He asked.
"I am Groot."
"So what, it's better than eleven percent? What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Rocket asked Groot.
"Thank you, Groot. Thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue." Peter turns to see Groot starting to chew on a leaf protruding from his shoulder, Peter shakes his head and Rocket chuckles. "Guys. Come on. Yondu is gonna be here in two seconds. He expects to hear this big plan of ours. I need your help. I look around at us, you know what I see? Losers. I mean, like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have. Man, we have. All of us. Our homes, our families, normal lives. And, usually, life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today, it's given us something. It has given us a chance." Peter said.
"To do what?" Drax asked.
"To give a shit. For once, not run away. I, for one, am not gonna stand by and watch as Ronan wipes out billions of innocent lives." Peter said.
"But, Quill, stopping Ronan, it's impossible. You're asking us to die." Rocket spoke up.
"Yeah, I guess I am. I..." Peter turns his back to the group in defeat.
"I mean" Mara stood up. Rocket watched. "I.. I was in prisons or running my whole life." She looked at Rocket. "Even if it was with the people I care about. I wanted to be selfish and want my life back." Peter turned to look at her. "To know my mom, be with my family. But I find myself to be selfless, to put my life on the line for everyone. I don't see a difference to die saving these people." Mara looked at Peter. "To die with Friends." Peter smiled. Gamora spoke up.
"I have lived most my life surrounded by my enemies." Gamora rises to her feet. "I will be grateful to die among my friends." Gamora held Mara's hand. Drax rises to his feet.
"You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, see my wife and daughter again." Groot rises next.
"I am Groot." They all then look at Rocket, who finally sighs and gives in.
"Oh, what the hell. I don't got that long a lifespan, anyway." Rocket also rises and stands on his seat. "Now I'm standing. You all happy? We're all standing up now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle." Rocket sarcastic remark made Mara bust out laughing which made Peter laugh. Then everyone was laughing.
