The Brother of Star-Lord (Guardians Of The Galaxy)

Chapter 10:Sacrifice

We enter a dark room. "I can barely see."  I heard Peter say that's when Groot and Iris lit up the place. It was like they were using fireflies. "When did you two learn how to do that?" I ask. "I learned it when I was on a planet in the northern region." Iris answered. "And for him?" Ryan asked. "Pretty sure the answer is I am Groot." Peter said. "The flight deck is 300 meters this way." Gamora said leading the way.

"I want you all to know that I am grateful for your acceptance after my blunders. It is pleasing to once again have have friends. You, Quill, are my friend." Drax said to Peter. "Thanks."

"You, younger Quill, are my friend." He said to me. "Thanks."

"And you two children as also my friends." Drax said to Iris and Ryan. "Thank you." They both said at the same time.

"This dumb tree, he is my friend." Groot made a sound of what I think he said thanks.

"And this green whore, she, too..." "You must stop!" Gamora said facing him. Then a blue lady jumped down and spoke to Gamora. "Gamora, look at what you have done. You have always been weak. You stupid, traitorous..." Then she was shot back. We looked over to see Drax had shot her. "Nobody talks to my friends like that."

"Head to the flight deck. I'll shut down the power to the security doors." Gamora said running off. We ran into a group of guards on our way to the flight deck. "Star-Lord." One said, "Star-Bolt." Another said. "Finally" Peter said happily. "About time." I said then we both put on our masks and we all attacked.

I stabbed one of the guards through the chest with my Plasma Saber then used him as a shield. Groot punched and threw the guys all over the place. Iris was using her dual plasma combat knives to defeat them. Ryan was using his Plasma Saber to fight. And Peter was using his two blasters. There was one more left and Drax grabbed him by the head.

"Finger to the throat means death." Then he ripped a piece out and he felled. "Metaphor." "Yeah, sorta."

We were about to go to the next room but a group of guards came running in. Groot threw his arm through all of them then slammed them against the wall several times then he dropped them and smiles at us. Then I saw a flash of purple heading towards Groot, I ran towards him and rammed him out of the way. 

A figure jumped down and landed in front of us. Blocking the way to the flight deck. "Man, Ronan was right about these people, they are worthless." He said. I stare at him with suspicion until he came into the light.

 He wore a black jacket, black pants, black boots, black gauntlets and he had a scythe. "Who are you?" I asked. "You should know me by now, partner." He said. "No, I don't know you." I said. "Eden, who is he?" Peter asked. "I see, it would seem that my name does not matter, Just call me Black, if that simplifies things" He answered. "Now, then, shall we begin" Black said. "Begin what?" I asked. Black pulled his scythe and swung and a giant slash flew towards us. We dodged.

"You guys go on ahead! I will handle this." I said. Peter and the others nod and they ran past Ivan. "We will fight with you." Ryan said as he and Iris stood on each side of me. Black floats in the air. "Doesn't matter, how many of you there are, Show me what you got" Black stated. We grabbed our weapons. "Bring it on!" I said.

" Fine then" Black said. He grabbed his scythe and charged towards me. He swung the giant weapon downwards, but I blocked with my Plasma Saber just in time. Iris threw her combat knives at Ivan. He dodges them. I swung my left leg in a semicircle and it hit him in the face. Ryan stroke him in the arm. He swung his scythe leaving a gash in Ryan's back. "Enough." He said as he launchs a giant dome wave of black energy and sent us flying. When we looked up, he was gone. All three of us came to an agreement and we ran to catch up with the others.

We caught up with Peter and the others but the flight deck's door was shut. "Quill, you gotta hurry. The city's been evacuated, but we're getting our asses kicked down here." Rocket said on the radio. "Gamora hasn't opened the door!" Peter said putting his hands on the door.

After a few seconds the door opened and we ran in. Gamora shot through the floor and jumped in. We all stand in front of Ronan and Peter fired at him.

As the dust cleared Peter and I turned off our masks. "You did it." Drax shouted but once the dust cleared all the way Ronan was still alive. He slammed his hammer down and sent a shockwave, sending us all flying. We all hit the ground hard. Ryan stood up. "You damn bastard!" I heard him yell. I see him charge at Ronan. He swung his Plasma Saber at him but he missed and he got smacked with the Stone. He was sent back but once he hit the ground he started to decompose. I ran towards him. "Ryan! Ryan! Stay with me buddy!" I yelled. Iris clasped her mouth with her hand. "Heh, I guess this it." He said as his legs decomposed. 

He grabbed .his Plasma Saber and hands to me. I turn to him. He gave me a thumbs up. "Goodbye, friends." Ryan said and he disappared. I clenched the ground with my fingertips. "You bastard." I mumbled. Ronan turned around. "What did you say, child." He said.

I picked up Ryan's Plasma Saber and turned it on revealing a yellow laser-like blade. I unclipped mine and turned it on. "And now I know what I'm fightning for!" I yelled. I ran so fast and charged at him at lightning speed. I swung my blade to the left. I kept swinging them both at fast speeds while Ronan kept blocking all of my attacks.

 I jumped backwards and threw both weapons at the same time. Ronan deflected them. I jumped down from a high place. and axe kicked the shield. I caught one of the Sabers and swung down at the same spot and it cracked and broke the shield. "What!" Ronan said. I grabbed the other Saber and landed on the ground. 

 I charged at him and swung both blades at break-neck speed. I twirl around in a spin. I swung both blades down but I missed. Ronan grabbed me by my neck. "That was Bursting Star,  A Kree special skill. A mere child like you is not worthy." He said. He threw me upwards and swung his giant hammer and slammed me in my ribs, sending me flying and I hit the wall hard, creating a crater, I fell down and blacked out.

"Eden!" Peter yelled and ran towards me. Drax ran at Ronan but he grabbed Drax by and held him up.

"I was mistaken. I do remeber your family. Their screams were pitiful. I..." Ronan stopped and turned towards the window just as Rocket crashed his ship into the deck.

Peter carried me to the others as Iris made her way to Rocket's ship and Gamora pulled Drax out and Groot helped as well. Peter layed me down on the ground as Iris carried Rocket who was knocked out and carried him over. Groot drove a vine into my body and helped me awake. I coughed a bit. "Eden" Peter said as Iris placed her arms around me. Then Groot grew around us. Like a shield.

Rocket slowly opened his eyes but when he saw what Groot was doing. He jumped out of Iris's arms and ran to Groot. "No. Groot! You can't. You'll die. Why are you doing this? Why?" Groot wiped a tear away with a branch. "We...Are...Groot."
