004. THE MISSING PRINCESS OF ALFHEIM

Chapter four

"The missing princess of alfheim." 

Having left the kylm, they were flying through space, everyone was doing their own thing, as Amaya stood next to Gamora watching the map, Drax sat across from them while Rocket was humming near by "whoa, whoa, Ranger Rick! What are you doing? You can't take apart my ship without asking me! See, what is this?" Peter asked, as he walked up to Rocket "don't touch that! It's a bomb." Rocket shared "a bomb? And you leave it lying around?" Peter asked "I was gonna put it in a box." Rocket shared.

"What's a box gonna do?" Peter asked "how about this one?" Rocket asked "no! Whoa. Hey! Leave it alone." Peter said, as Atara turned to them "why what is it?" Rocket asked "shut up." Peter told him "hey!" Rocket voiced, scoffing "what is that?" Peter asked "that's for if things get really hardcore. Or if you wanna blow up moons." Rocket shared "no one's blowing up moons." Gamora told him, as Peter began walking over to her and Atara "so, listen, I'm gonna need your buyers coordinates." he shared.

"We're heading in the right direction. For now." Gamora shared, as Atara turned to her "you know the whole trust thing we talked about doesn't exactly work when you don't tell any of us where were going. I mean you could be leading us all into a trap and we wouldn't even know. Especially since you seem to care a whole lot about this.." she shared, taking the orb from her "whatever it is." she said, as Peter took it and put it down on the table, Rocket and Drax walked over.

"I don't know what it is." Gamora told them, as Drax picked it up "if it's a weapon, we should use it against Ronan." he shared "put it down, you fool. You'll destroy us all." Gamora shared "or just you, murderous!" Drax voiced, as Gamora walked up to him "I let you live once, princess!" she voiced "I am not a princess! She is!" Drax voiced, pointing at Atara "hey!" Peter voiced, as they all looked to him "nobody is killing anybody on my ship! We're stuck together until we get the money." Peter shared, as Drax threw him the orb "I have no interest in money." he told him, as he began walking off.

"Great. That means more money for the four of us." Peter shared, looking to Atara "mm?" Groot asked, standing near them, Peter looked to him and sighed "for the five of us. Partners." he shared "we have an agreement, but I would never be partners with the likes of you. I'll tell the buyer we're on our way." Gamora shared, turning and walking off as she headed upstairs, Peter looked to Atara who was wearing her hood and her gloves, he cleared his throat and stepped toward's her, but before he could get there, Atara turned from the map and looked around them "your ship is filthy." she shared, pushing her hands off the console and walking off, heading up top.

And sometime had passed, as Atara was sitting there with Rocket and Groot, a kind of music could be heard that she had never heard before but she didn't hate it "heads up! We're inbound." Rocket shared, as Peter walked up, he put his hand on the back of Atara's seat as he looked out at where they had arrived, while Gamora and Drax walked up from behind "whoa." Peter said "what is it?" Drax asked, as they flew toward's the planet that looked like a skull "it's called Knowhere. The severed head of an ancient celestial being. Be wary headed in, Rocket. There are no regulations whatsoever here." Gamora shared.

As they flew in, heading past different structures and pods and ships as they began to headed down to park.

Where they all were then walking through the streets "hundreds of years ago, the Tivan group sent workers in to mine the organic matter within the skull. Bone, brain tissue, spinal fluid. All rare resources, highly valued in black markets across the galaxy. It's dangerous and illegal work, suitable only for outlaws." Gamora shared "well, I come from a planet of outlaws. Billy the kid, Bonnie and Clyde, John Stamos." Peter shared "sounds like a place, which I would like to visit." Drax shared "yeah, you should." Peter told him.
