On their way to the weapons room, Helena attempted to speak to Gwen, but she wasn't having any of it.
"Gwen, if you'd just hear me out---" Helena said
"Hear you out? You tried to ruin my marriage, and end mine and my friends' lives. I don't care that you're helping us, and I do not care if you get killed in the process" Gwen said. Peter and Gamora looked at each other. They were surprised to hear her speak in such a cold tone. Helena just put her head down and felt her eyes water. "The same goes for you Quentin"
"Understood, your Majesty" he said. They finally reached the weapons room. Ophelia unlocked it and let everyone inside. There was a vast away of weapons ranging from guns and swords, bow and arrows, and staffs and whips.
"Unfortueately for Peter and Gamora, these weapons were created to be used by Kosmonians only. They require our energy powers for them to work" Ophelia spoke.
"That's understandable" Gamora said.
"Helena, let's start with you" Ophelia said. Helena stepped forward. Ophelia took two staffs and gave them to her youngest child. "Daughter, I would like you to use you to channel your energy to your weapons" Helena did what she was asked. The ends of her staffs were channelled with energy, replicating the look of electricity.
"You remembered my love of staffs?" Helena asked.
"Of course I do. Quentin, you're up next" Ophelia said. Quentin stepped forward. Ophelia presented him with a rather small looking gun. "Now it may look small but it can deliver the heaviest blast of energy. To activate it, you just have to channel your energy. Why don't you try it out on that target over there?" Quentin looked at the target Ophelia referred to. He channelled his energy to the gun. He shot a big blast of energy out of it.
"You weren't kidding about it being heavy" Quentin said.
"Damien and Gwen, your turn. I've picked very similar weapons for you two" Ophelia said. She placed the weapons in their hands. To Damien it just looked like a piece of metal, but it was giving Gwen nostalgic memories.
"It looks like a lightsaber" she said.
"A what?" Damien asked.
"A lightsaber. It was Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's weapons in Star Wars" Peter stepped in. Everyone except Gwen, and surprisingly Gamora, gave him a confused look.
"My love, do you know what they're talking about?" Damien asked Gamora.
"I've heard them talk about it enough to know that it's some old movie from Earth" Gamora said.
"So how does it work? Just channel our energy through it and----" Gwen was caught off guard when her channelled energy came out as a solid beam. She smiled as wide as kid on Christmas morning.
"Babe, it's like an actual lightsaber!" Peter said. He had the same smile that his wife did. "Try moving it and see if it makes the same sound" Gwen swung it from one side to the other, and in fact it did make that iconic sound. "It does! That's even better!"
"Are you sure you have never heard of Star Wars?" Gwen asked.
"No. It's just a coincidence. Son, try out yours" Ophelia said. Damien powered his up and a solid beam of energy appeared. Only it wasn't just one, it was two.
"This is perfect mother. Thank you" Damien said. Everyone put their weapons away.
"Now that you're all set, I suppose it's time to find your friends and start your mission" Ophelia said. She looked at Quentin and Helena. "And break the news that these two will be joining. I don't know how well they'll take it"
"I know I'm still not taking the news well" Gwen said. She grabbed Peter's hand and the two of them headed for the dining hall. The others were about to follow when Gamora stepped in front of Helena and Quentin.
"If you two try anything, do anything to hurt any of my friends, especially Peter and Gwen, I will not hesitate to kill both of you, do you understand?" she said.
"We understand" Quentin said.
"But we have changed. We won't hurt any of you" Helena said.
"You better prove that. Especially to Gwen" Gamora said. She grabbed Damien's hand and they proceeded to follow Peter and Gwen, with Helena and Quentin behind them.
Helena
Quentin (just pretend that the hair for him and Damien is purple. This was just the closest color I could find)
