"Astra!" Quill called, Astra currently in the middle of balancing on a Sovereign ship and ripping through the wires. "Do you have tape?"

"One second, Quill." She yelled back angrily. The ship she was on began to dive down chaotically  and she jumped off to hover in the air. "Some what?"

"Tape!" He shouted, then groaning at a hit he just got.

"Let me see!" She called, unshrinking her satchel and looking through it. "Tape, tape tape." She muttered as she looked through. "I have washi tape!" She shouted she held up the white colored tape with hello written in rose gold thought out it. Just then a blast just barely grazed the skin on her hand, making her drop it. And then a yellow blast shot it into dust. "Never mind!" She called.

"It's okay! I'm gonna see if Gamora has some!" He shouted and Astra went right back to her fight. Taking her blaster from the strap on her leg and went right back to shooting.

Sometime later, she flew back into Yondu's ship, landing gracefully in the metal ground. The ship got surrounded and Quill dove in, landing on his stomach. "Guardians." The High Priestess spoke. "Perhaps it would provide you solace that your deaths are without purpose. They will serve as a warning to all those tempted with betraying us. Don't screw with the Sovereign."

The Sovereign ship all started firing at once. Astra took cover being the wall, just missing a few shots but the ship was still rattling in an unstable way. Up in the cock pit, Nebula screamed in pain as power was drained from her arm to act like a generator. The laser orbs all shot at the Sovereign ships, taking them all out.

Two flying parts from the ship landed in Yondu's ship. One hit Astra right in the head, making her fall to the ground, and the other had oil leaking out and onto the critical parts of the parts of the ship, didn't help that it was caught on fire. "We're gonna blow." Peter called, to Astra it was like it was far away. She couldn't react immediately as her eyes were out of focus and she felt dizzy. Luckily, a metal arm grabbed a hold of her and jumped off the ship before it was too late.

Nebula landed on both feat, Astra starting to regain her strength as she wobbled while standing. "Metal's hard." She grunted and rubbed her head. "This might be the second time you saved my life." Astra chuckled to Nebula.

She looked over to Gamora, with a sad look in her eye. Peter. Both she and Nebula looked up with a hopeful look, Astra looking up as well, not seeing anything at first and thinking they were crazy. Until, Peter floated down, and Yondu being right beside him with his arrow slowly lowering him.

"I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!" Yondu shouted proudly.

"I'm not even going to question that, right now." Astra spoke softly with a confused expression and they landed beside her and Nebula.

The group all huddled closer, preparing for the moment Ego get's free and they looked around at the environment. A lot of fires burning and a couple explosions. And let me tell you, it may look cool, but it's like a million degrees. 

Mantis, the one thing stopping Ego from waking up, was hit by a stay metal part, knocker to to the ground. "Mantis, look out!" Drax said after she got hit. The white energy spread back through the system of cracks as Ego woke up and shook the ground. "She's just unconscious." Drax told them, picking up the girl dressed in green.

"How long until the bomb goes off?" Quill asked Rocket.

"In the unlikely event that Groot doesn't kill us all, about six minutes."

Above them, a large rift was created, showing the light from the outside. "Kraglin, we need the quadrant for extraction. T-minus five minutes" Yondu ordered.

"Aye, Captain." Kraglin responded.

"Someone's gotta be up top when Kraglin arrives." Quill shouted over the noice of everything falling apart. "Drax, take Mantis." He took off his own aero-rig and placed it on Drax's back

"Ow, my nipples!" Drax yelled as he started taking off to the top.

"I can take one of two people." Astra informed as the ground shook some more, and under them it cracked, Nebula and Gamora falling through.

"Gamora!" Quill shouted.

"I got them!" The cosmicite girl shouted diving down in hopes to get her sisters. Her grey eyes scanned the area, pebbles and large pieces of rock all falling to the ground. Finally spotting them looking up to find a way out of the higher ground. "Gotta go!" She said quickly, sweeping them off the ledge and into the air, only holding them by the arms. The aero-rigs were having a bit of trouble with the amount of weight it was carrying, making for a bumpy ride.

"You should be helping Peter!" Gamora scolded.

"I thought you were falling to your deaths!" Astra shouted back, not seeing the electric blue vine wrap around her waist and pulling her and her sisters into the rock wall roughly. The vines filled with rocks strangled them, making it hard to breath as it wrapped around theirs necks, wrists, legs, everywhere.

Astra thought it was the end. The earth had consumed her and she could no longer breath. She had no idea what was going on, just hoped that somehow everything would turn out all right. Until suddenly everything that consumed her had fallen off and she took in deep breaths of air.

The three spent no time to ask questions or say a thing, instead they just started to climb up t the ledge. They struggle to get over in the windy conditions, but once they did they ran at full speed to the ship.
