Sovereign

3.5

I got out of the seat and took the piece from Peter as Gamora looked at me, "What kind of monster slaughters a civilization?" I sprinted towards the Medbay and Peter ran with me and asked Gamora, "Where are Mantis and Drax?" Gamora followed us, "I don't know!" I started setting everything up and shoved the piece into one of the monitors, "Come on."

Peter put the pins in Rocket, "Okay. Here we go, Nefer." I started scrolling, "Where is the passkey you son of a bitch?" Peter looked at the screen with me as it started scrolling by itself. Gamora read it, "This isn't right." Peter shook his head, "No, no, no, it's good. It's gonna work. It's working." Gamora shook her head, "It needs to be faster." 

The screen started flatlining and I teared up, "No, no, no! No! Come on! Rocket!" I started to do CPR and Gamora looked sorry, "Nefertiti." I screamed as Peter hugged me tight, "No! No!" I started pulling the wires out of him and Gamora tried again, "Nefertiti." I shook my head, "No. I'm not gonna lose him."

Gamora sternly glared at me, "He's gone." I snarled, "I'm not letting him go!" I continued doing CPR and Peter stood beside me. Rocket started gasping and I cried tears of joy, "The passkey's going through!" Gamora put a med pack on Rocket and smiled as I took the cup off Rocket's face and the last tube out of his chest.

Rocket coughed and looked at me, "Nefer?" I cried into Rocket's shoulder as I hugged him, Peter and Groot following my lead, crying as well. Rocket pulled away slightly, "Where's Nebula?" I wiped my tears away but kept crying, "That's who you want right now? Seriously?" Rocket looked at me, "Because her code is on the comm right behind you guys."

Peter grabbed his comm, "What? Nebula?" Nebula sighed, "Where are you?" Peter sighed, "Oh, thank god!" Nebula sounded happy, "We're here to get you out of here." I was confused, "Out of where?" Nebula responded, "The High Evolutionary's ship." Peter shook his head, "No, we got off the ship." Nebula sounded astounded, "You what?!" Peter looked at me, "Wait, where are you?" 

Nebula raised her voice, "On the ship!" Peter had wide eyes, "On the ship!?" Nebula deadpanned, "I didn't lie." Peter threw his hands in the air, "Why are you on the ship!?" Nebula growled, "To save you and Titi, obviously." Peter shook his head, "No, I told you to go back! You gotta know by now I always figure out an incredibly clever way to get out of a fix." Nebula sounded like she was smirking, "Nefertiti got you out." Peter groaned, "Yes! She always does! That's the plan!" 

"Pay attention or play with the kids. One or the other," Nebula said and I screamed, "Kids?!" I started to grow angry and didn't hear any of the rest of the conversation. My eyes started glowing a dark blue, almost black, and then hearing the High Evolutionary's voice, "He's right about that. Back in your cages!" 

Peter called out, "Nebula! Come in." The High Evolutionary came over the comms, "So, you'd like to joust, would you?" I growled, eyes glowing to pure black, "Go to hell, you sick son of a bitch. You killed all of those people." Wannabe William Afton responded, "As I will you friends. And your people, Nefertiti. I'm sending you the coordinates. They will die unless you turn in yourself and bring me what is mine!" He yelled and Peter gritted his teeth, "Screw you, you stretch-faced, RoboCop-looking, Skeletor wannabe, purple-nurple piece of-" 

The comms fizzled out and Peter looked at me with anger, "Nefer. I want him to suffer." Bright gold wisps swirled around my hands, "Don't worry. He will. Kraglin." Kraglin responded, "Oh, hey, Nefer." I growled and he whispered, "Lilith." My voice turned ethereal and demonic, "We need to save Nebula, Mantis, and Drax, and we need your help." Kraglin sounded confused, "Me?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I would say this could be futile, Quill. He's too powerful, but I see that look in Nefer's eyes and I gotta say: I'm spooked," Rocket said as he put on his boots. Peter and Rocket walked beside me, and Peter nodded, "I'd usually say: Well, then I guess we'll die trying, but she's pissed." Everyone got into their seats and I stood on the balcony, gripping the handrail with fury in my eyes as we flew into the portal. 

I watched with a dark grin as Kraglin blasted the spaceport. I closed my eyes and focused on the heat thermal in the High Evolutionary's ship, only to hear a crash. I opened my eyes to see Adam standing in front of me, smirking, "Did you really think you could leave like that?" I smirked, "Just to give you a taste of later." Adam chuckled lowly, "I might have been pulled from my pod too early, but your Uncle made sure that I knew what I was doing when alone with you." 

Gamora yelled, "Get away from her or this weird thing gets it!" Adam held out his hand, pushing me softly over to Peter and Gamora, trying to be peaceful, "Don't be rash." We crashed into the ship and I coughed as part of the Bowie exploded, "Peter, what the hell!?" Peter yelled back as he had already tackled Gamora and me out of the ship, "It was worth a shot!" 

We stood up as Groot and Rocket stepped out of their ships, "This ends here and now. I will end The High Evolutionary." I closed my eyes and opened them for everyone to see a bright gold color that consumed my pupils. Peter nodded, "We go in there, we get Mantis, Nebula, and Drax. We move in, we get 'em, and we get out." A loud thud sounded and I activated my powers, flying above the group. The three missing people of our group smashed the wall and rode out on top of the Abilisks. I blinked as Mantis got down and smiled, "Did that look cool?" 

Peter looked afraid, "Okay, new game plan. We get the hell out of here now." Nebula sounded out of breath, "There are thousands of creatures on this ship." Mantis nodded, "Many of them are children." I snarled, "What?!" Drax nodded, "And we need to be good joob joob." Peter was confused, "Huh?" Drax elaborated, "It means friends." Gamora looked at Drax, "If we want to live, we have to leave now. This whole rig is gonna go down any second." 

Nebula raised her voice, "They will all die if we don't help them." Rocket looked at me and then looked at the door, "I'm done runnin'." Rocket and I walked towards the door and the rest followed us. My eyes glowed brighter and the wisps around my hands grew larger as I walked closer and closer to the man I was about to kill. Adam's F'saki followed closely to me and I could feel Adam's life force. He's still alive, just pissed that Peter keeps interrupting us. 

Drax pushed his way up front and opened the door with his bare hands, causing everyone in the bay to look at us. I heard someone scream, "It's Lilith!" 

I grinned darkly, "Let's finish this."
