GHOSTLY GUARDIANS

Chapter 2: Ronan the Accuser.

It's been minutes since Peter made his hasty escape from the planet Morag, and while his 'Awesome Mix Vol 1.' tape was playing 'Go All The Way' by the Raspberries on the cassette player, Peter, along with Bereet, who was sitting nearby, was watching a news report from the planet Xandar regarding a peace treaty.

"Scattered riots broke out across the Kree Empire today protesting the recent peace treaty signed by the Kree Emperor and Xandar's Nova Prime." the Xandarian news reporter said.

Suddenly, a device starts beeping, gaining Bereet's attention. She looks to see that Peter is getting a call.

"Peter, you have call." Bereet said.

Peter looks at the monitor to see who was calling. Peter then tried to stop Bereet from answering but was too late as she answered before a blue-skinned Centaurian appear on the screen. He had a goatee and a red prosthetic metal piece on the top of the head. It was Yondu Udonta. Yondu is the leader of his Ravagers clan and the adoptive father to Peter since he was the one who abducted him from Earth 26 years ago. As leader of his Ravager faction, Yondu is an unscrupulous thief. He is willing to kill, threaten and betray if his well-being is in danger or he desires something of value, hence why he furiously phoned Peter since he and his clan is also looking for the Orb that Peter already stole from Morag.

"Quill?" Yondu called from the monitor.

"Hey, Yondu." Peter said, acting calm.

"I'm here on Morag. Ain't no Orb, ain't no you." Yondu said, clearly upset.

"Well, I was in the neighborhood. I thought I'd save you the hassle." Peter lied.

"Well, where are you at now, boy?" Yondu furiously asked.

"I feel really bad about this, but I'm not gonna tell you that." Peter replied, making Yondu more furious.

"I slaved putting this deal together. And now you're gonna rip me off!" Yondu yelled.

"Slaved? Making a few calls is 'slaved'? I mean, really?" Peter said.

"We do not do that to each other. We're Ravagers. We got a code." Yondu said, claiming that the Ravagers have a code of honor.

"Yeah, and that code is 'steal from everybody'." Peter countered.

"When I picked you up on Terra, these boys of mine wanted to eat you." Yondu said, making Peter muttered in annoyance.

"Yeah?" Peter said.

"They ain't never tasted any Terran before. I stopped them. You're alive because of me!" Yondu said, trying to guilt trip Peter on the story of how he stopped the Ravagers from eating him when he was young - an act which he continued to throw in Peter's face. "I will find you, I will..."

Peter however disconnects the call before Yondu can finished.

...

On Morag, Yondu gets more furious that Peter hang him up refusing to give his location.

"Put a bounty on him! Forty K. But I want him back alive." Yondu said to his Xandarian right-hand man Kraglin Obfonteri.

"Yeah, Cap." Kraglin said.

"Alive?" Horuz, one of Yondu's men, said, not happy on what Yondu said.

"That's what I said." Yondu said.

"I told you when you picked that kid up, you should have delivered him like we was hired to do! He was cargo! You have always been soft on him." Horuz said.
