I Need A Hero Vol 3 {Peter Quill}

thirty three

Tony and Steve were making their way to the others. They were figuring out a plan for fighting Brenna and her pet dragon.

"I never even thought dragons existed so I don't even know how to fight one" Tony said.

"It probably has a weak spot. We just have to figure out what it is" Steve said.

"We might be able to help with that" a voice said. Tony and Steve turned around to see Damien and Quentin. Tony, having met them before, quickly recognized them and was confused as well as he witnessed both of them turn to dust.

"Damien? Quentin?" Tony said.

"Friends of yours?" Steve asked.

"Yeah. Damien here is Gwen's sister. She has conflicting feelings about Quentin here. How are you guys here? You two faded into dust"

"Well it's not actually us. We're copies of Kamomile who turned into Gwen's friends. We figured you could use some help" Quentin explained.

"We're happy to have it. The dragon will be our biggest concern. Do you know if it has a weak spot?" Steve asked.

"Dovah's weakness is the one that controls him. Brenna can communicate with him. Bring down Brenna and that leaves the dragon weak" Damien said.

"Okay. Let's come up with a plan" Tony said.

Brenna had Natasha, Bruce, Okoye and Shuri inside a cell.

"Look, you already have us in here. Why don't you use this opportunity to try and kill us?" Natasha said.

"I would love to, believe me, but Phantom wishes to. Right after Thanos has the young girl, she will have no mercy in killing you and the rest of your friends" Brenna said.

"If you think that Thanos is going to get his hands on that child, you are sadly mistaken" Okoye threatened.

"Ooh. I'm so scared. Look here, I'm the one with the dragon, and you're stuck in a tiny cell. Do you really think threatening me is a good idea?" Brenna gave a smirk before she walked away from them.

"She's lucky that Hulk and I are having issues otherwise she'd be screwed" Bruce commented.

"Guys, I can see the keys on her" Shuri said. She pointed to them. "It's just a matter of getting them, then we can get out of here and get back to Gwen"

"Looks like she sent our back up" Natasha said when she noticed Tony, Steve, Damien and Quentin. "It took you guys long enough"

"We apologize for that. We needed to come up with a plan" Steve said.

"I hope the first part of your plan involves getting us out of here" Okoye said.

"Who are they?" Bruce asked, motioning towards Damien and Quentin.

"It's a long story that we don't have time for right now" Tony said. Damien inspected the cell's lock.

"Did anybody see the keys for the cell?" Damien asked.

"Yes. They were with Brenna. How do you plan on getting them?" Shuri said.

"We need to distract her" Quentin said. He reached for his gun. "I'll go cause a distraction and when she's not looking, I'll grab the keys. By the way, I'm Quentin, and this is Damien"

Brenna was in the next room, completely unaware that Quentin had crept in. She was too busy talking to Dovah. They seemed to be communicating with each other in another language. Dragontongue to be exact.

(The italics is Brenna and Dovah speaking to each other)

Lady Phantom and Lord Thanos will be very pleased with us, yes?

Yes, they will. Word has it that Zane has failed keeping the others captured. We will not make the same mistake.

Of course not, master.

Quentin spotted a vase sitting in the corner of the room. He pointed his gun at it. A blast of energy came out of it and hit the vase. It broke which made Brenna and Dovah look at it.

Dovah, did you knock it over?

No, master

They were both distracted now so Quentin took the opportunity. Very stealthily, he snuck towards Brenna. He reached for the keys and grabbed them without her noticing. He got out of the room as fast as he could.

Quentin made it back to the others. He went over to the cell and unlocked it.

"How long do we have before she notices that her keys are gone?" Shuri asked. Her question was soon followed by a roar.

"I think she found out" Natasha said.

"Are we just going to stand around or start running before we have to fight a dragon and her master?" Okoye said.

"I like the second option. I'd rather not fight a dragon today or ever" Bruce said.

"Too late" Shuri said. Brenna and Dovah broke through the wall into the room.

"Do you people think I'm stupid? Do you really think I wouldn't notice? Now, you'll pay!" Brenna said. Dovah let out a fierce roar. Everyone got into a fighting position. Before a fight could even happen, a dark cloud swallowed the dragon and his master.

"If that isn't convenient, I don't know what is" Tony said

"Where did they go?" Natasha asked.

"I don't know. We have to meet up with the others before they return" Steve said. He called Gwen. "Gwen, what's your position?"

"Meet is in the cargo bay. Phantom took Meredith again, and we're gonna need all the help we can get" Gwen said.

"Copy that" Steve said. He lost connection with Gwen. "Phantom has Meredith. Gwen needs us to meet her in the cargo bay"

"Why do I have a feeling that that's where Brenna went?" Bruce asked.

"I have a feeling that she's not going to be the only one there" Okoye said.

"Which way is the cargo bay?" Tony asked.

"Quentin and I know the way. We'll get there faster if we split into two groups" Damien said.

"Okay. Natasha, Bruce and I will go with Damien. Stark, Okoye and Shuri will go with Quentin" Steve said.

"Sounds good. We'll meet you there" Tony said. They split into their two groups and hurried to the cargo bay.

Brenna and Dovah suddenly appeared before Phantom and Zane.

"Phantom, what the hell? I was about to have some fun!" Brenna said.

"You should have killed them while they were imprisoned! You made the same mistake as Zane!" Phantom said.

"You said not to kill them though"

"No, I said kill them if they cause any trouble! Now they're all heading this way to get the child! The ship isn't even here yet!"

"Then we fight them off when they get here" Zane said.

"Only this time, we won't disappoint you" Brenna said.

"You better not, otherwise the consequences will be severe" Phantom said. Little did they know, it wasn't the Avengers and Guardians they had to worry about.
