Yondu's Krylorian

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

     Yondu and I quickly climbed out of bed and began to get dressed, Yondu more frantic than I am. "Yondu?" I softly spoke as I pulled my pants up. "I thought Quill was with his dad."

     "He is." Yondu responded.

     "Then why would he be in danger?"

     "Ego isn't a good man. I used to bring his kids to 'em for a shit ton of units."

     "You dealt children?"

     "It's the one thing I ain't proud of. Got me exiled from Stakar's faction." Yondu sighed. "I didn't know what was goin' on, but when I figured it out, I stopped, and that's how I wound up with Quill."

     "What did he do to them?"

     "He's a celestial. He wanted to create a child with his celestial powers, and when they failed 'em, he killed 'em."

     "You think Quill failed him?"

     "That's the only thing I can think of, unless somehow Quill inherited the celestial genes and he found out what Ego wanted." Yondu pulled his coat on and turned to me. "He's my boy, I gotta save 'em." I walked over to Yondu and gently pressed my lips to his.

     "We will."

     "No. You're gonna stay on the ship. I don't want anythin' happenin' to ya."

     "You need my help."

     "I need ya to do this for me, Devora. I can't lose ya."

     "And you wont." I smiled. "You can't do this on your own. He's a celestial. You honestly think your arrow is gonna do any damage? It's just gonna be like throwing a rock at a bee hive, it'll only piss him off. You need me."

     "I need ya alive."

     "And I need you alive, and I can't have that if you're out there fighting a celestial with a toothpick." I chuckled. "You can't win this argument, Yondu. I'm a Ravager. I swore to honor, protect, and defend you in battle."

     "I hate it when ya pull that Ravager code." Yondu let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine, but stay close and if I tell ya to run, you run, and ya don't ask questions. Got it?" I gently nodded and picked up my coat and pulled it on. Finally dressed, Yondu and I exited the room and headed for the flight deck.

     "I am Groot?" (Did you have a good reunion?) Groot smirked from the seat beside Yondu's.

     "Shut up." I chuckled and picked Groot up and sat him on my shoulder as I sat down in the chair as Yondu took his place in the Captain's chair. "What's the ETA?"

     "Two minutes." Rocket answered as he began to press buttons on the screen in front of him.

     "No, boy!" Yondu yelled. I held onto the arm rests as tight as I could as we jolted forward, speeding through the jump points. "It ain't healthy for a mammalian body to hop more than fifty jumps at a time!"

     "I know that!" Rocket argued.

     "WE'RE ABOUT TO DO SEVEN HUNDRED!" Everyone instantly began to scream as our bodies contorted under the extreme pressure caused by the jumps. My eyes felt like they were about to pop out of my skull, my chest felt like it was about to explode, my stomach lurched, my head throbbed as I silently begged for this to be over.

     We suddenly came to a screeching halt as a large planet came into view, sending everyone toppling forward. "Ugh." I groaned as I held my stomach in pain. "Let's never do that shit ever again." BLECH! I looked over to the side of me as Groot threw up onto the floor. "You alright?"
