Yondu reached up to his communicator, "Kraglin, we need the quadrant for an extraction. T-minus five minutes."

"Somebody's gotta be up top when Kraglin arrives." Peter looked at Drax, "Drax, take Mantis." He slapped a suit on Drax.

"Ow! My nipples!"Drax cried out as he flew to his salvation. The ground started crumbling. I saw Gamora fall down into a p with Nebula.

"GAMORA!" Me and Peter shouted. I saw the rock separate us. I saw Eros' face form in the rock, and glowing blue started attacking Peter. Peter began shooting the tentacles that swung his way.

"Come now, Peter. I know this isn't what you want. What kind of father would I be to let you make this choice? Soon, Peter, we will be all there is. So stop making me mad!" Ego roared, and started using Peter as a battery. I was grabbed by a tentacle, and held. I looked upon them angrily as Ego continued, "I told you... I don't want to do this alone. You cannot deny... the purpose the universe has bestowed upon you. It doesn't need to be like this, Peter. Why are you destroying our chance? Stop pretending you aren't what you are. One in billions. Trillions. Even more. What greater meaning can life possibly have to offer?"

"Peter!" I grunted, "Don't use your head!"

"Use your heart, boy!" Yondu finished.

Peter regained his bearings, and looked at Ego, anger lining his features, "You shouldn't have killed my mom, and squished my Walkman." I was freed. I grinned.

"Hey!" I shouted to Ego, flying into the air, an aura of shadows surrounding me, "You should've known better than to hurt my friends, and you should've known better than to challenge a son of Chaos."

"You!" Egos growled, "Stay out of this! You can't attack without being attacked!"

"Dude. You just attacked him minutes ago." Peter said in a 'duh' voice.

"Indeed." I glowered. Egos looked at me in anger and fear.

"Then you must fade!" Egos growled.

"Challenge accepted." I scowled.

Yondu was standing there grimly, waiting to take Peter.

"Yondu! Get Peter out of here!" I shouted. Yondu took off. Ego trapped us inside so we couldn't escape.

"FOOL!" I shouted, "Now we're all gonna die, even your own son!"

Ego grabbed Peter, who was making holes in the surface, "No, we need to stop it. Stop. Stop. Listen to me! You are a god. If you kill me...you'll be just like everybody else." Peter made a hole, and pulled away.

Peter turned as he and Yondu left, "What's so wrong with that?"

"No!" Ego cried out. I punched him, and we dueled it out.

I fought him until the place exploded. I grimaced as my current form was incinerated. I closed my eyes, and regenerated at Planet Chaos. I saw my mother smiling sadly.
