Ultimate Fanfiction chronicles BOOK 1

CHAPTER 7

I could feel the heat travelling to my cheek bones as I walked into the control room that morning. Rocket made immediate eye contact with me and it made me blush underneath my fur (Thank god for it!). I don't think the other guardians of the galaxy knew every detail about last night. Drax doesn't remember anything. Groot remembers coming back to the ship, but he's Groot, he just went straight to sleep. Gamora and Quill, well, we'll get into that later. I sat on the edge of the table while everyone went over the plans for today. "Okay, so we'll go to the place with the most people in and ask around to where the nearest court is, since we've never been here before. It could take a while." Gamora stated, what? I have no time for this, I could be arrested, or worse...hunted, any day now. "I know the area." I told them, they turned towards me in surprise. That was when I noticed Drax wasn't present, so it was just: Gamora, Quill, Groot, Rocket and me. "Why didn't you say earlier?" Gamora questioned. "It never came up in a conversation!" I scrambled over my words, she was having mood swings...one of the obvious signs of- "MOLLY!" I lost my train of thought. "What?" I asked her, "Lead the way." She pointed towards the now open door. "What about Drax?" I asked. "He's hung over, he'll join us later when he feels better." And with that Gamora stepped outside in to the warm light of Claytex. "He'll be fine, at least he won't be able to ring up Ronan this time." Rocket snickered as he made his way out of the door. "What?!" I jogged behind him, he started to tell me the story of the first time they all got drunk together and Drax went crazy.

"OH my God!" I couldn't stop laughing, Rocket wouldn't either, and it was just a memory now it wouldn't hurt him anymore. "It was hilarious, in the end they made me beat up grass!" hysterical laughter broke out through the street and everyone gave us awkward glances which just made us laugh more. All this time the guardians were walking behind us and they were surprised at how much Rocket was laughing. They were probably suspecting something by now, I didn't know whether we wanted to let them know we kissed...I don't even know if we are in some sort of relationship. I'll ask him when we are somewhere more private. But I didn't get the chance. The three Langorians that helped me escape were walking straight towards us. "Fuck." I exclaimed. "What's up?" Rocket's happy expression suddenly dropped. "It's them." I pointed secretly towards the small gang. They were a group of identical triplets, they had their arms decorated with tattoos and the only difference between them all was their skin colour (Purple, Blue and Red). "Shit...run Molly, I'll distract them." I wondered how he was gonna do it, but I just assumed Groot would help him, so I turned into a cheetah and bolted.

I didn't know where to run to, it had been a long time since I had last been to Claytex. I was only a cub then. I ran into a dead end and decided to change into a sparrow and scout the area from above. When I broke into the clouds of Claytex and shot down to see the town more clearly. Rocket was on Groot's back and he had his gun out, that's not good. Quill was holding Gamora back...that was it, I'm not gonna let people die for me anymore. I shot down the street, but before I could get to the group I slammed into a tattooed figure. As I landed on the floor, I changed into my regular form. "Drax?" I squinted up at the tall dark figure since the sun was right behind his head. "The Guardians need your help!" I pointed down the street to the group, who were on the verge of breaking into a fight. "My friends...help" Drax was finding it hard to process my words due to still being hungover, but he got the message all the same. He charged towards the Langorians, I followed his example and changed into a Rhino. Together we barrelled into battle as Rocket broke out his bullets. The people of Claytex scattered as the bullets made contact with numerous glass windows.

I thrusted my Rhino's horn into the Purple Langorian's chests and sent him sprawling into a fountain causing the concrete statue to crack. "MOLLY?!? For fuck's sake, get out of here!" Rocket shouted at me. I gave him a menacing glance that caused him to shut up and carry on shooting the two other triplets. They dodged the bullets and the occasional 'shock shooters', I didn't know what else to call them. "Where is Gamora?" Drax called up to me. I glanced over at Groot and he pointed over to Quill and Gamora. Gamora was on the floor and Quill was trying to pick her up without getting shot in the head. I changed into a rat and scuttled over to Quill, then shifted into my natural form. "What's wrong with her?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer. "She passed out from lack of food. She's-"Quill was about to tell us the answer we were all waiting for until one of Rocket's bullets bounced off a beam above Quill's head. "Rocket!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?!?" Rocket glanced back at us and saw Gamora unconscious. He got distracted, which led to him being punched in the face by the Blue Langorian. He skidded on the concrete as his gun bounced through a shop window.
