Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Chapter 1: Back Again

--Milano--

Quill placed the ship on auto-pilot and went to the lower decks. Rocket and Groot were fixing a small weapon on the side of the ship while Mantis was sitting around the map of the Galaxy.

Gamora walked over to him. "So, are you going to go back to Earth or not?" She asked, fixing her gloves.

"In a few weeks. I'm tired after fighting the purple bastard." Quill said, leaning on the side of the ship. "Do you think we should have buried Drax?"

"It's the only other funeral we had besides Yondu's. By the way, where did you place the Power Stone?" She asked, opening some of the drawers near her. She always wanted to know where the Orb was, like it was her pet.

"You don't have to worry. It's with Rocket." Quill chuckled a little.

"Rocket! The Orb!" She shouted, making her way to the upper deck.

Quill walked over to the landing pod of the ship. He wasn't sure what he was going to do next after they killed one of the most hated people in the universe. Maybe it was time to take a rest? No. They can't.

He grabbed a phone from his pocket. Sam gave it to him because he learned that Quill liked music, so why wouldn't he give him a phone? He told Quill that everyone on Earth listens to it nowadays. Before he got to place the earphones on, he got a call from Kraglin.

"What is it, Kraglin?" Quill felt annoyed that he called again. He propped his hands on his waist and looked at the ceiling.

"Hey... Quill. I know you're tired but I have something going on here. It's on Thanos's home planet, Titan. My men told me that there are Skrulls there." Kraglin said, being careful with his words. He calls Quill when they are in deep trouble, which they are almost all the time. He would always give Quill some supplies when they were finished with the battle. Maybe some tools or maybe even some drinks.

"Fine," Quill said, getting his gear on. "You better buy us some drinks after this on Knowhere. I'm getting tired of those green-faced bastards."

"I bet this is the last time you'll see them. I mean... this is where Thanos trained them... right?" Kraglin asked with an unsure tone.

"I'm not sure if Thanos trained them there..." Quill said, piloting the ship. "But I do know another group he taught."

--Titan--

Quill got his back hit by a Skrull which got him to lay sprawled on the floor. Why his back? His back had so many bruises especially after the so-called "Battle for the Galaxy" against Thanos. The pain started to mount on his back and his lower chest needed to be bandaged badly. When the Skrull almost stabbed him in the chest, Gamora appeared and kicked him away from Quill.

"Get up." Gamora said, lending her hand towards Quill. "There are more moving towards Rocket and Groot."

"'About Mantis? Where is she?" Quill asked, looking towards the large ship on the ground. Some stories say that Thanos used a large ship to collect the Infinity Stones called Sanctuary. Maybe that was it.

"She's on the Milano." Gamora said, looking back on Quill. "Looks like you like her, Quill."

"Shut up, Gamora!" Quill said, as he got hit in the face by another Skrull.
