Guardians of the Galaxy

Cherry Bomb

Quill and everyone suit up and they start to plan to take back the stone from Ronan.

"The stone reacts to anything organic. The bigger the target, the bigger the power surge." Gamora informed the ravagers.
"All Ronan's gotta do is touch the stone to the planet's surface and zap. All plants, animals, Nova Corps." Peter said. Mara stepped up next to Peter.
"Everything will die." Mara spoke up.
"So Ronan does not make the surface. Rocket will lead a team to blow a hole in the Dark Aster's starboard hull. Then, our craft and Yondu's will enter." Peter informed.
"Won't there be hundreds of Sakaaran soldiers inside?"Kraglin asked.
"I think of Sakaaran as paper people."Kraglin smiles and gives Drax a friendly punch on the shoulder, but Drax, not understanding the playful jester, gives Kraglin a look like he's going to hit him.

"Once they know we're on board, Ronan will isolate himself behind impenetrable security doors on deck. Which I can disable by dismantling the power source." Gamora said.
"We'll make it to the flight deck, and I'll use the Hadron Enforcer to kill Ronan." Peter informed.
"Once Ronan is dead, we will retrieve the stone. Use these devices to contain it." Mara explained as the devices are passed out. "If you touch it, it will kill you."
"I'll contact one of the Nova officers who arrested us. Hopefully, they'll believe we're there to help."

"There's one more thing we need to complete the plan." Rocket said as he points to one of Yondu's men who has one robotic eye. "That guy's eye..."
"No! No, we don't. No, we don't need that guy's eye." Peter said.
"No, seriously, I need it! It's important to me." Rocket chuckled.

"This is a terrible plan." Gamora said.
"Hey, you're the one who said you wanted to die among friends." Mara said. Mara sat in the copiloted seat next to Peter. He smiled over to her.
She smiled back.

The Ravagers fleet of ship stop near the Dark Astor. The ships fire at the Dark Astor and the explosion bounces off the ship forming a cloud of fire. The ships, including the Milano duck beneath the wall of fire and go beneath the Dark Astor.
"Rocket, hurry!" Mara said.

"Quill! Yondu! Now!" Rocket yelled. Yondu's ship is shot down.
"Aw, hell! I'm going down, Quill! No more games with me, boy! I'll see you at the end of this!" Yondu spoke.
"There are too many of them, Rocket! We'll never make it up there!" Gamora said. Just then they notice Nova Corps ships joining them.
"Peter Quill, this is Denarian Saal of the Nova Corps. For the record, I advised against trusting you here." Saal said.
"They got my "dick" message!" Peter smiled over at Mara. Mara chuckled.

With the help of the Nova ships the Peter lands their ship inside the Dark Astor through the whole that was shot through it.
"Yes!" Drax laughs as they crash land inside the Dark Astor. "Yes!"
"We're just like Kevin Bacon." Mara smiled.

Rocket looks up from ship at the Dark Astor who is being attacked by the Nova ships.
"Oh, man." Rocket sighed.
"All Nova pilots, interlock and form a blockade. The Dark Aster must not reach the ground." Nova prime said as the Nova ships start to form a giant net. Nova ships capture the Dark Astor in their giant net shape form; inside the ship Peter and the rest of the group leave their ship and make their way through the Dark Astor.
"I can barely see." Drag spike. Groot releases glowing particles from his body to light their way.
"When did you learn to do that?" Mara looked at the particles.
"I'm pretty sure the answer is "I am Groot."" Peter walked up to Mara.
"The flight deck is three hundred meters this way." Gamora informed.
"I want you all to know that I am grateful for your acceptance after my blunders. It is pleasing to once again have friends. You, Quill, are my friend." Drax smiled.
"Thanks." Peter said.
"You Mara are my friend." Drax said. Mara smiled.
"You too Drax, you too." Mara spoke.
"This dumb tree, he is my friend." Drax looked up at Groot. Groot tilted his head, "And this green whore, she, too..."
"Oh, you must stop!" Gamora yelled. Nebula intercepts their progress across the Dark Astor.
"Gamora, look at what you have done. You have always been weak. You stupid, traitorous..." suddenly Drax a fires a shot at Nebula sending her flying off."
"Nobody talks to my friends like that." Drax said.
"Head to the flight deck. I'll shut down the power to the security doors." Gamora said running off.

Gamora and Nebula start battling it out as Gamora tries to shut down the power to the security doors.

Peter and the rest of the group are intercepted by Korath and Ronan's crew.
"Star-Lord." Korath said. Peter smiled.
"Finally!" They all start battling it out.
Drax manages to grab of hold of Korath and shoves a device into his head.
"Finger to the throat means death." Drag said as he rips the device from Korath, killing him, and Peter walks over to Drax. "Metaphor." Drax looked at Peter.
"Yeah, sorta." Then suddenly more of Ronan's crew come after them. Groot saves them by skewering a bunch of the goons, then whipping them around to take out the rest, after which he turns to Peter and Drax and smiles.
"Stop smiling." Mara chuckles.

Peter continues to fight off Ronan's men as he makes his way to the bridge.
"Gamora hasn't opened the door." Peter said. Gamora and Nebula continue to battle it out, Gamora manages to kick Nebula which throws her off the side of the ship, her arm catches something and she hangs off the edge, Gamora goes to help her.
"Nebula! Sister, help us fight Ronan. You know he's crazy!" Gamora yelled to her sister.
"I know you're both crazy." Nebula cuts off her own hand falls.

Gamora opens the bridge's door and she along with Peter, Mara, Drax and Groot enter and Peter shoots Ronan with Rocket's super cannon.
"You did it!" Drax said then suddenly Ronan rises and uses the power of his warhammer to throw the group aside. Peter holds on to Mara. Drax rushes towards Ronan but Ronan grabs him by the throat and holds him up.
"I was mistaken, I do remember your family. Their screams were pitiful. I..." Ronan said. Rocket crashes the Milano into the bridge and seemingly destroys Ronan, the group then huddles together as the ship starts to plummet, Groot forms a giant nest around the group to keep them shielded.
"No, Groot! You can't, you'll die. Why are you doing this? Why?" Rocket asked. A tear rolled down Mara's cheek.
"Groot. Don't." Mara cried. Groot smiled wiping away Mara's and Rocket's tears away. Mara looks back to Peter. He pulled her to him hugging her. Mara looked to Groot. Everyone looked at the tree.
"We are Groot."
