.....

Star-Lord's ship followed the one ahead, landing on a desolate planet with no intelligent life.

Knowing Roger's overwhelming power and having witnessed him kick Ronan away with a single strike, Star-Lord had elevated Roger's threat level to the maximum in his mind. He kept his distance from Roger's ship, staying far enough away to ensure he wouldn't be detected before finally stopping.

As the ship touched down, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer joined Star-Lord in disembarking to find Roger, while Rocket stayed aboard to care for the newly-awakened Baby Groot and guard the ship.

As they moved in Roger's direction, Gamora turned to Star-Lord and asked:

"Have you thought about what you're going to say to him?"

"Say what?"

"...?"

Gamora stopped in her tracks, staring at Star-Lord in disbelief.

"You didn't plan out anything before coming here to confront him?"

"This isn't a confrontation, alright? I'd have to be insane to drag you all here just to pick a fight with that monster! I just... want to negotiate with him, you get it? Negotiate!"

"What is there to negotiate? You already said he's unwilling to hand over the Power Stone to the Nova Corps, which is why he altered our memories. Do you honestly think he's going to give you the Power Stone just because you asked?"

From Star-Lord's description, Gamora understood clearly that the man known as Superman had no intention of handing the Power Stone over to anyone.

If he wasn't planning on giving it up, what was the point of negotiating with him?

"..."

Star-Lord found himself speechless.

Before coming to find Roger, he hadn't thought of any specific plan. Perhaps because he'd recently received praise and rewards from the Nova Corps, he got swept up in the moment and impulsively pursued Roger, hoping to reclaim the Power Stone.

Now, hearing Gamora's question, he sobered up a little, realizing how rash he'd been. He turned to her and said:

"Well... we can at least try... ah!"

Before he could finish, he felt himself bump into something.

Looking up, he saw Drax's massive frame blocking his path; he had accidentally walked into Drax's back.

Holding his nose, which hurt from the impact, Star-Lord looked up and asked:

"What's your problem, man? Why did you suddenly stop!?"

"There is no problem," Drax replied, pointing ahead. "I stopped because of her."

"Her?"

Star-Lord leaned forward and saw someone familiar standing in their way.

They knew this person: Thanos's daughter, Gamora's sister, and fellow renegade, Nebula.

Recently escaped from Xandar, Nebula now stood there with a cold smile, her gaze fixed on the Guardians, though her eyes lingered on Gamora behind Star-Lord. She spoke with a mocking tone:

"Well, look who it is, my dear sister and her little group of sidekicks."

"Nebula..."

Gamora stepped forward, her voice heavy as she asked, "What are you doing here? Are you here for the Power Stone, too?"
