Chapter thirty seven

"Counter Earth."








Having changed back into her all red leather outfit, Atara had her hood over her head as she stood in the med bay, she was holding his hand and as she did, she remembered when she was a little girl and how she had held her hand up to his and they were practically the same size, as a beeping filled her ears, Rocket began convulsing "no, no, why..why.." Atara asked, looking up at one of the screens, Peter came running in "what's happening?" he asked "the fluid is in his lungs." Nebula shared.

"Then..then do something! Don't just stand there! Help him!" Atara voiced, as Nebula got to work, Atara squeezed Rocket's hand, Nebula stuck a needle in to start draining the fluid "he's dying. We need that passkey. We don't have long." she shared "we've arrived." Mantis informed them through coms, and as she did, Peter, Atara and Nebula turned walking out of there and as they made it to the front of the ship, the planet counter Earth came into view "that looks just like..home." Peter said.

And as they flew in, it really did look like Earth as they flew over water and passed a statue of the high evolutionary "it's like a replica of Earth. It makes no sense." Peter shared "atmospheres habitable. Gravity's xandar minus one." Nebula shared, as they began to fly over houses "it is just like Earth." Atara shared, as a women pushing a carriage turned around but it wasn't a women but a warthog with a warthog baby and their was a panda man mowing his lawn, as they landed the ship.

They all then began to walk out of the ship, as all the animal people in the neighborhood came up to them "hello. We mean you no harm." Peter shared, as a little girl animal tossed her ball toward's them, Drax picked it up and threw it back toward's the little girl hitting her right in the face as she fell over, the people gasped, as a man began yelling orbose "no, no, no! Wait!" Atara voiced "he was just trying to give throw her back her ball." Peter shared, as rock then hit him in the head "ow!" Peter voiced, as Drax laughed until he got hit "hey!" he voiced.

As the people continued throwing rocks at them, Atara brought her hands up and took her hood off, and as she did, everyone stopped throwing rocks and looked at her pointy ears "yeah! See! We are not here to hurt anyone. Our friend is hurt. And we want to save him." Atara shared, and as she did, one of the women with short black hair and bat ears, walked up to her and took her hands and began dragging her off, where Atara turned around, looking at the others, as they began following her.

The women lead them toward's her house as they headed through the door, the women walked up to a door that seemed to have two kids in it as they spoke orbose to each other, she closed the door and walked toward's the living room, as a man yelled in orbose, the woman yelled back at him, as they all then walked into the dining room, the music stopped playing, as the women held her arms out "yeah, yeah, sit. Let's sit. Okay." Peter said, as they all sat down at the table, Drax laid down on the couch.

"I am groot." Groot said as he remained standing "it's not rude. It's what it's here for." Drax shared "Drax, sit up! Idiot." Nebula said, as Drax sat up, Atara looked at the women who let them into her home "thank you." she told her, as the women said something in orbose, she sat down as the man brought them a plate full of drinks "thank you." Peter said loudly, as the women said something orbose again "our friend..is dying." Peter was saying, as Atara looked to Nebula "show them." she told her, as Nebula brought her arm up and showed them a hologram of Rocket.

"He's dying." Atara informed her, as Mantis imitated choking "that's not dying, that's already dead. They'll think he's already dead." Nebula informed her "they'll think we're here on a quest for revenge." Drax shared, laying on the couch "Drax, sit up." Nebula told him "it's what it's here for!" Drax voiced "Drax, it isn't. It's meant for people to sit shoulder to shoulder right next to each other. Get your boots off her pillows." Peter shared, as Drax sat up again "I find it hard to believe it doesn't have multiple purposes!" he voiced.

"Excuse our friend, he's a dumbass." Atara told the women, as Mantis grunted "that's the same as your dying." Nebula told her "why do you criticize everything?" Mantis asked her "well, why is is oblong then?" Drax asked "enough! All of you!" Atara voiced, looking to the two bat people "I know this is all very weird and strange but we need your help. There's a man." she shared, turning to Peter "draw the man." she told him "yes, yes.." Peter told her, grabbing the paper and pen on the table and started drawing, he then held it up "have you seen this man?" he asked them.

"That's very good." Mantis said "can I have that later to hang in my apartment, please?" Drax asked "yeah. Thanks." Peter told them "Mowtio." the women said "he's Mowtio?" Atara asked, pointing at the picture "eo, eo. Uh.." the women said, standing up and walking off, she pulled the blinds and when she did, the entire town seemed to be looking through the window as she spoke to them, they all began walking off.

Atara walked up to her, as the women pointed out the window at a mountain "Mowtio's ek lolo." the women said, counting on her fingers, she pointed out again "saw there's more then one Mowtios." Atara realized "oh." the women said "up there?" Atara asked, pointing to it "oh." the women said, Peter then walked up seeing the ladies car "is that your car in the driveway?" he asked, moving his hands like a steering wheel "oh." the women said "eo." the man sighed.

Atara then began walking toward's the front door as Peter followed her along with Groot, Drax, Mantis and Nebula "Drax, stay here with Rocket. Watch him. That's who they're coming for." Peter shared, as he went over to the drivers side, Atara walked up to the passenger "I wanna come." Drax said "no." Peter said, as Atara turned around "Mantis watch Drax." she told her, as Mantis nodded "Groot. You know what to do with these." Peter told him, handing him blasters, he then got into the drivers seat while Atara got in the passenger, Groot got in the backseat.

Nebula then tried to get into the backseat but couldn't "push down on it." Peter told her "what?" Nebula asked "push down on it." Atara told her "I am pushing down on it." Nebula told them "push the button under the handle." Atara informed her, as Nebula did so "okay, now what?" she asked "open the fucking door." Peter told her, as Nebula did so, getting in the back "that is a stupid design," she told them, closing the door "and your instructions were very unclear." she shared, as Atara turned to Peter "drive please." she told him.

As Peter started up the car "let's get that passkey and save our friend." Peter shared, driving out of the driveway, he knocked over the garbage can, stopping the car abruptly, Atara's eyes went wide "okay, um..maybe..maybe I should drive. Seeing as I was taught how to.." she shared "no." Peter told her "I'll drive." Atara told him "I don't want you to drive. I got this." Peter shared, going forward, he put his foot on the break as they jolted backwards "Peter we're not even moving! Turn the wheel and take your foot off the break!" Atara voiced, and as she did, Peter did so, as the four of them went flying down the road.
