Black dust was scattered along the crash site. Ember flutters her eyes open as she rolls onto her back, presses her hand to her forehead as her ears were ringing. But she could hear faint music playing in the background. Then she rolls onto her side and raises her head right up to see that the dust has settled, Rocket was crawling over to the remains of Groot.
Drax was is out, but his hand was moving, Gamora raises her head up and looks at her. Ember groans in pain as she forces herself on her hand and knees, gripping her mid-center with her arm and sat on her knees. She then heard groaning and then saw as Peter rolls onto his side. She gasps and then forces herself to her feet, trying to walk, but she then collapsed to her knees. "I called him an idiot." Rocket mutters to himself. The people then gathered around them and as Gamora then looks over. Ember gasp as she saw Ronan as he walks out of the wreckage of the ship, not a scratch on him. The people whimpered as the step back, in fear of him.
Rocket then turns and glares at him, "You killed Groot!" he shouts and then ran at him, but Ronan uses his hammer and sent Rocket flying off to the side and smacks against his rocket debre. "Behold! Your guardians of the galaxy!" Ronan calls out as Ember pants as she then stood on her feet, but collapsed onto her knees. "What fruit have the wrought," he states, Rocket looks over at his weapon and saw that it was still in good condition, he crawls over to it and messes with the wires. "Only that my father and his fathers shall finally know vengeance." he went on, Rocket looks over at Drax, he got his message and then looks at Gamora. She got the message and looks at Ember, she nods at her and looks at Peter as he looks at her. "People of Xandar, the time has come to rejoice and to renounce your paltry gods," he states as he looks at the people. Ember growls to herself and forces herself onto her feet one last time. "Your salvation is at hand," he states and then raises his hammer.
The people step back as he was ready to destroy the planet, then he shouted something in the Kree tongue as the stone was glowing. But then Peter started to sing along with the pop song that was playing. Making Ronan stop and then looks at him. "Ooh, child things will get easier. Ooh, child, things will get brighter." Peter sang with the wag of his finger. "Listen to these words," he states, then sings the lyrics. Gamora stood up, tilting her head to the side as Ronan lowers his hammer, then Gamora looks over at Ember, who shook her head at her. "Now bring it down hard," he states and did the running man.
Ronan was just confused. "What are you doing?" he asks him, "Dance-off, bro. You and me." Peter answers him and dances more. Ember groans as she rolls her eyes and then face-palms then drags her hand from her face. Then Peter points at her "Ember." he states, she looks around at the people and then looks back at him shaking her head no. Ronan shot a look at her as Peter nods at her "Subtle, take it back now." he states and did the running man again. "What are you doing?" Ronan questions him again. Peter just smiles at him. "I'm distracting you, you turd blossom," Peter answers him. Then Ronan looks over as he heard a gun click, Drax had the gun pointed at him, then Rocket ignites the wire, letting Drax get one shot.
He fires and the head of Ronan hammer was shattered, leaving only the stone untouched. Everything was slowed down, Peter then jumps for the stone as Ronan reaches for it. Both determined to have the stone. "No!" Gamora calls out with her hand reaches out. "Peter!" Ember calls out as she had her hand held out. Peter's hand then curls around the stone and he grips it tightly on his hand. Then block smoke with purple glowing around it. Peter lands on the ground as he was crying out in pain, squirming on the ground. Drax, Rocket, and Gamora were holding onto anything they could find, but Ember held her arms up, shielding herself as she steps closer to Peter.
Peter stood on his feet as he was screaming in pain, as he skin was binning to crack. Ronan just smiles widely to himself, the ground where he stood began to pulse with the energy of the stone that flowed through him. "Peter! Take my hand!" Ember calls out as she held her hand out to him, he turns his head and looks at her, his skin flacks away from his face as his eyes were pitch black. "Please, take my hand Peter," she begs him. But he wasn't seeing Ember. Peter saw his mom in the vast universe around them. "Take my hand, Peter." she calls out, holding her hand out to him "Mom," he mutters to her as he eyes well up with tears. "Take my hand, Peter!" Ember calls out to him, then he moves his hand out and then grips her hand. Ember gasps in pain, as she held the energy of the stone glow through her body as she jerks back, but held a tight grip on Peter's hand.
