The Lost And The Broken (Guardians Of The Galaxy: Rocket FF)

Chapter Seven

We followed the girl to her master and came into a large room with glass cases full of different creatures in them. I walked next to Rocket looking around feeling slightly uncomfortable. "Not creepy at all." Rocket muttered looking around.

"We house the galaxies largest collection of Fauna, relics, and species of all manor." The girl explained ahead of us.

I looked at a dog wearing an astronaut suit from Earth. It's hackles raised and it started growling at me, I took a step to the side. I was a little surprised to see Rocket come to my defense and growled back at it. I smiled a little looking to the ground as we continued walking. The girl suddenly turned facing us with a strange grimace of a smile.

"I present to you, Taneleer Tivan. The Collector." She presented.

He made me very uncomfortable, I've heard of him. My father used to do tell me stories of his friend Tivan, how he collected things and such. Father used to help him get some creatures though he didn't really like doing it much. I don't even have an idea why they were even friends.

His eyesight hasn't come to me yet but it went to Groot instead. "What is that... thing?" He asked taking a step closer.

"I am Groot."

I looked down at Rocket seeing him glare at Tivan. I looked back up and watched Tivan have a fan girl moment. "I never thought I'd meet a Groot." He said while looking closely at Groot. "Sir, you must allow me to pay you now so that I may own your carcass. At the moment of your death of course." Tivan kinda asked. I remember now that father said Tivan is polite and informative.

"I am Groot." Groot said while shrugging indifferently.

Oh, Rocket is not gonna like that response. "Why? So he could turn you into a frickin' chair?" Rocket demanded glaring up at Tivan. I was right. "That your pet?" Tivan asked Groot.

"His what?!" Rocket growled reaching back for his gun.

"Rocket." I placed my hand over his making him let his gun go, I removed my hand placing both behind my back. Tivan's gaze came to me and he grinned recognizing me. "Ah, Dracora it's lovely finally being able to meet you." He said holding his hand out. I shook his hand nodding, "You as well. My father spoke very highly of you." I said pulling my hand away.

"Mm Draco my old friend. Your father was a good Faunus and it seems like your a rare one. Purple eyes, one of the rarest for Faunus. I would love to have you in my collection along with your friend here."

My fists clenched as I prepared myself to punch him. I don't care if he was friends with father. Rocket made a growling noise as I took a step forward getting ready to attack. "Tivan!" Gamora cut in stepping in front of him raking his attention away from me, she gave me an uncertain glance. "We have been halfway around the galaxy to give you this orb." She continued.

"Very well then. Let us see what you brought." He said getting on track.

I looked to Quill since he has it. He pulled it out of his purse trying to look cool then dropped it. I sighed shaking my head while Quill scrambled to grab it. Gods he's such an idiot.
 Tivan took it from Quill eagerly and brought it to the table in the middle of the room, and set the orb down. "Oh my new friends. before creation itself, there were six singularities." He began as he pressed something.

A machine started to make a humming noise twisting the orb to open it showing a glowing purple stone. I could feel the natural power and chaos radiating from it. I shivered slightly making Rocket look at me then look away. Suddenly holographic images surrounded us showing different things. I started ignoring Tivan's explanation as I looked at them all. The destruction, and the different stones. I faintly heard Quill say he peed himself and I rolled my eyes coming back to everyone else in the room.

"Blah, blah, blah! We're all very fascinated whitey! But we'd like to get paid!" Rocket demanded not caring about the stones.

I smiled slightly at how Rocket didn't really care. "How would like to get paid?" Tivan asked going to another desk nearby. "What do you think fancy pants? Units!" Rocket exclaimed in annoyance. Tivan started to look through some drawers, he looked up after a while and widened his eyes. "Carina! Get away from that!" He yelled. We all turned around surprised to see the girl that led us here. "I will no longer be your slave!" She shouted reaching for the stone.

I pulled my gun out aiming it towards her and pulled the trigger but it did nothing to stop her when she grasped it in her hands. She started screaming, her lightish red(Please tell me you guys know that reference) skin started to crack showing veins of purple and black. I put my gun back in my holster quickly before the blast went off. "Rocket!" I yelled diving for him when I saw him crawling on the ground.

"Dracora!" He yelled back.

I covered him with my body as we tried to crawl away, I was soon lifted up and I grabbed Rocket realizing it's Groot. He ran through the room and out of the building as fast as he could carrying me while I held Rocket. We soon got to the door the explosion still behind us. Groot dove getting out and covered us with his body as the fire blasted around.

We panted heavily getting up from the ground when everything calmed down. Quill and Gamora ran out while holding the orb.

"How could I think that Tivan could contain whatever is in the orb!?" Gamora exclaimed.
