Everyone gathered in the lab, ready to jump in and help anytime. 
Watching the screen surveillance following Serena, Henrique and Damian. 
All the girls were untransformed watching. 
"Queen? Will I not be able to transform?"(Mina)
"Of course you will. Here's a new bracelet, Mina."(Tiana hands her a new bracelet)
Mina gratefully and excitedly gasped. 
"Thank you!"(Mina)
"No problem, sweetheart."(Tiana)

Rei is watching the screen attentively and worriedly.
Ami was next to her. 
"Rei, are you okay?"(Ami)
Rei nodded her head fast trying to put on a cool front.
"If you're worried about Henrique, it's okay to say it."(Ami)
Mina joins their pod and sits next to them. 
Ami hugs Mina as she sits. 
They all look up at the screen.

The Guardians, Serena, Darien, Damian, and Henrique arrived at the pet store. 
Quill and Gamora went straight to the store owner. 
Quill pointed a gun at the store owner as they keep trying to get answers out of him. 
"Alright, alright! I'll tell you. I sold her to the Kree. I have no idea where they took her!"(Store Owner)
"Oh, that's not good."(Gamora)
"They are bad guys, but I don't think they'd kill her. It would literally make no sense to kill her. They would definitely try to use her. They know how to manipulate people."(Gamora)
"How do you know all this?!"(Serena)
"I...was part of their team."(Gamora)
"But, she's changed."(Drax)
"Okay,"(Henrique)
"But how do we find them?"(Darien)
"I can track them."(Gamora)
Henrique turned to the store owner who's been standing there for a long time.
"Wait, why are you helping them? Are you on their side?"(Henrique asks him)
"No, I just want no part of Ronan"(Store Owner)
"Who's Ronan?"(Darien)
Gamora looks down in shame. 
"Ronan is a mad man. He has the power to kill many people at once."(Gamora)
"Well, we can stop him! And get Lita back!"(Serena)
"Ok, let's get on my ship and let's go."(Kraglin)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok girls, it's time to go to sleep."(Tiana)
"Now? But what if they need help?"(Rei)
"Then we will send someone else besides you to help."(Tiana)
"Please, don't let them die."(Rei said sincerely)
"I promise, Rei and Ami."(Tiana)
Ami looked down trying to hold her tears. Then she pulled herself together and looked at Tiana.
"Where will we sleep?"(Ami)
"In your houses of course...."(Tiana fades her sentence rethinking what she just said)
"Queen, can they sleep at my house?"(Mina)
Tiana thought about it, but she thought "Why not?"(Tiana says out loud)
"That's a good idea, I'll go with you, Hawk"(Terence)
"Yes, I think that's a good idea."(Hawk)
They all go to Hawk's apartment. 
They sit in a circle on the living room floor. 
"Are you guys ok?"(Hawk)
"I don't know."(Ami)
"I didn't know I'd feel this protective over him."(Rei)
"You know what makes me happy?"(Terence)
The scouts look up to him.
"I appreciate that you guys are starting to open up to us."(Terence)
"I would've never been able to admit until now."(Ami)
"How would you guys feel if they die?"(Mina)
"I don't know."(Rei)
"I don't think I'd know what to do with myself."(Ami)
"Speak some more. Let it out now."(Hawk pets Rei's head)
"You know, I lost my mom a long time ago, and then not so long ago I lost my grandpa and the life I was comfortable with. I just started getting comfortable with Henrique. He was in fact, the dad I never had. Whenever he was around I felt comforted and protected. I feel like I got close to him faster than the other scouts got close with their dads. Not as a competition, I'm just saying that I got close enough to him to where if I loose him, I don't know who else to talk to besides the scouts. It would be so hard for me to get close to someone else again."(Rei starts to tear up a lot)
"Rei, Tiana said that she will protect Henrique"(Hawk continues to pet Rei's head)
"What would happen if I lost him? Where would I go?"(Rei sobs)
Terence smiles warmly.
"You know, it's my daughter that they are looking for. Let me just start with that. I pray that they find her and save her."(Terence)
"How come you are not going out there?"(Mina)
"I wanted to. But they knew I wouldn't make rational decisions. They knew I'd lose my mind."(Terence)
"But with that being said. If he died, Rei, I wouldn't know where you'd be."(Terence)
Rei loses more tears understanding. She became scared and felt alone.
Terence calms her down and shushes her. 
"Do you know why?"(Terence)
Rei pays attention to him. 
"Because all of us care about you. We'd all want to take care of you and would want you to live with us."(Terence)
Rei looks down and exhales. 
"Do you believe me?"(Terence)
"But I want to stay with Henrique. I don't want to adjust again."(Rei)
"I understand that, but we're always here for you."(Terence)

"How about you Ami? How do you feel about this?"(Hawk)
"Mmmm"(Ami)
"You're free to say anything, Ami. Nothing you could say could ruin anything."(Terence)
"I don't really mind who I live with. That's not my issue. I just really hope he's safe. I want to go protect him very much."(Ami)
"How were you feeling when you were watching the screen?"(Hawk)
"I really wanted to go to him. I want to protect him from danger."(Ami)
"Ami, do you feel attached to him?"(Terence)
"Not so much, honestly. But...that doesn't mean I'm not scared for him. I'm just not close with him. "(Ami)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now, it's the time to infiltrate their ship, we all know our plan!"(Rocket)
"Yes, now, let's go."(Henrique)

In the ship*
Lita has found herself in a large, glass, indestructible cage. 
"Just wait there a minute chip, we are going to inject bad guy blood into you."(Yon Rog)
Lita had a very worried expression, she doesn't know what to do in this situation when she can't transform. But if she became a bad guy how would she fight people?
Yon Rog's goon walks up to the cage and reached for the lock. 
Lita backed up in to a corner trying to avoid his grasp but of course, no escape. 
The Serena, Darien, Henrique, and Damian arrive after fighting their way through. 
"Lita! Are you alright?"(Darien)
Lita gasped. 
"Serena!"(Lita starts to tear up)
"Let her go!"(Damian takes out his Maho no gun and points at Yon Rog)
"You know I have your little chum, and I can hurt her at any moment"(Yon Rog)
Yon Rog pulls out his needle and threatens to inject her with whatever he had in that syringe.
They all get into fight mode. 
Darien starts an earthquake in the ship. 
Yon Rog had a hard time holding on to Lita and standing still. 
Lita gets scared thinking about how he is going to fall, and also if he's going to end up successfully injecting her. 
She uses her strength to pry his fingers open and finally falls to the floor. 
Serena hits Yon Rog with beam to get him far away from Lita. 
Darien stops the earthquake so that Henrique can run to Lita and pick her up. 
He hugs Lita and Lita grabs his shirt tight and tries to comfort herself against Henrique...but it's not the same as being comforted by Terence. 
"Lita, I'm so glad you're safe."(Henrique)
"Let's defeat Yon Rog and then go home!"(Damian)
"I'm going to go first, I have to get her home."(Henrique)
Henrique opens a portal and goes through and the portal disappears. 
The rest leave the ship and destroy the ship from the outside.
