Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Chapter 14: Execute

--Sanctuary--

Glaive walked towards the lower cells to visit Adam Warlock who has been stored there for 2 weeks. They managed to capture him and interrogate him but he has said nothing significant. It was more of the common stuff, where he was born and raised. Meaning behind his family and whatnot. That information wasn't important to someone like Corvus Glaive. He went down there before he went out and searched for the Guardians.

Glaive opened the cell door and sat across Adam, "So, tell me, why do you want the Orb so bad?"

"You have asked me this question so many times. Can't you let a person rest for once."

"I will let you rest once you answer my question!" Glaive slammed his hand on the table. "I've been asking you this for a week now."

"I am a simple person, Corvus. I search for things that interest the Sovereign yet I do not get anything in return. All that risk, nothing, Glaive. Now, why do you want that Orb badly?"

"I want to rule over your Galaxy. I want to do something that Thanos himself could not achieve. I have told him on numerous occasions that I am capable of being his ally in this yet he does not listen."

"I see that. I have been programmed to kill the Guardians but my kind does not see the purpose on that group of people."

"Oh, I can understand their purpose." Glaive said, standing up and walking around him, "They are there so they could waste of time. They intervene in my plans so I would like to exterminate them out of the Galaxy. Do you understand, Warlock?"

A loud noise can be heard outside the ship. It sounded like a missile hit their lower deck, the place that was the most sensitive. Midnight went downstairs and opened the door of Adam's cell.

"Glaive, I see Ravager ships. I think this is the Guardians." Midnight said, as she got her spear and went back to Ebony.

"The clock is ticking, Glaive. Don't you think it's time to play hero in this one?" Adam chuckled, as Glaive gave him a dirty look in the face.

"Remember me, Warlock. For the one who captured you." Glaive said, trying to install fear into Adam.

Glaive went to the cockpit where Ebony was closely looking at the screen. Supergiant was on the couch, trying to pretend that this was not happening and Midnight was commanding the army that was in the armory. Glaive looked out the window to see an army of Ravager's in a attacker position. He got on the speaker and tried to negotiate peace between the two factions.

"Ravagers. I know you are here to attack my ship but I wish that it does not come to that." Glaive said through the speaker for everyone to hear.

--Milano--

Quill placed the missiles on the slots where it needs to be placed and quickly run to Rocket who was driving the ship. Richard was on the speaker from below Sanctuary.

"Well, I'm sorry to break the news, Glaive, but this little scuffle between us won't come to peaceful terms, and I'll promise you that. But we can, however, let you free for about 2 years if you exterminate the bounty that is on the Guardians of the Galaxy." Richard said

"I have a counteroffer, for whoever is on the speaker. You give us the Orb, also known as the Power Stone, and we will let you walk, forever." Glaive proposed to the Guardians.
