GHOSTLY GUARDIANS

Chapter 3: Attack on Peter Quill.

It was a peaceful day at Xandar. At the Nova Corps Headquarters, two Xandarian Nova Corpsmen were watching as their colleagues were sending a ghost, that they fought and capture today, back into the Ghost Zone. One of them is a grown young man who had purple eyes and bright but dark auburn hair and fair skin and wearing the Nova Corps dress uniform. The other is a beautiful young woman who was a little shorter than her male counterpart. She also had purple eyes, bright but dark auburn hair that goes down halfway down her back and fair skin. She was wearing the female attire of the Nova Corps dress uniform. It is twin siblings Daranak and Salzer Xander, now grown up. It's been several years since they got involved in a ghost portal accident at the headquarters. After the accident, Daranak and Salzer discovered that they have received ghost powers from the accident when ectoplasm merged in with their DNA, making them half Xandarian-half ghost hybirds. At first Daranak and Salzer couldn't control their ghost abilities from the start, but receive the help they can get from both their parents and the Nova Corps. After some time, the two managed to master all their powers. For the next several years, after joining the Nova Corps, Daranak and Salzer use their ghost powers to defend the Nova Empire, especially Xandar, against hostile and powerful ghost attacks as well as fight in the Kree-Nova War, and gave the alter-egos as Daranak and Salzer Nova. The two gained a reputation from the across the intergalactic community, especially their home world and the Kree Empire, and the ghosts at multiple dimensional planes of the Ghost Zone, especially those connecting to worlds of the Nova and Kree Empires. The reputation went on that the two receive the nickname the Nova Twins. They are mostly cheered upon the Nova Empire, especially Xandar. However, they also gained adversaries as well. They are hated by common criminals and the Kree Empire, who marked the Nova Twins as heretics and enemies of the Kree people since they fought in the front lines of the Kree-Nova War and have defeated many ghosts from the Ghost Zone's Kree dimensional plane, especially now that the peace treaty has been signed. Since the signing of the treaty, many ghosts from the Kree dimensional plane of the Ghost Zone have tried to attack and destroy Xandar, but Daranak and Salzer Nova were able to stop them. They have just stop one Kree ghost and are now looking out the window to see it being send back to the Ghost Zone.

"They're not gonna stop anytime soon. Many ghosts from the Kree dimensional plane will just try to get a piece of Xandar." Salzer said.

Salzer is a respected member of the Nova Corps. She is known to be a kind, caring, and thoughtful woman, but when it comes to ghost fighting and the Nova Corps, she takes her job very seriously and is a master combatant, especially against ghosts, alongside her brother.

"Don't worry, Salzer. As long as we're here protecting it, they will fail, despite the odds." Daranak said.

Daranak is also a respected member of the Nova Corps. He is also known to be a caring, but serious individual. He can have comical quirks which can annoy Salzer sometimes, but he is very serious and dedicated to ghost fighting and serving for the Nova Empire. He is also a master combatant, especially against ghosts, alongside his sister.

"Another job well done today, Nova Twins." Nova Denarian Garthan Saal said.

"Thank you, sir." Salzer said.

"Any more orders for us, today?" Daranak asked.

"Yes, you two are on patrol today. Afterwards, you two can go home." Garthan said.

"All right, Salzer and I will get on it." Daranak said.

"Better than fighting ghosts all day, right?" Salzer asked.

"True, but should there be any problems, we'll take care of it." Daranak said.

Meanwhile, at a crowded plaza at Xandar, a individual, or a furred animal, was looking for potential bounty hunts. Subject 89P13 is a enhanced and talking raccoon turned freelance criminal. Many years ago, he was recovered by alien scientists and brought to the Halfworld planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system, where he was genetically and cybernetically enhanced so that he was given sentient intelligence. However, the years of abuse and repetitive genetic rewrite caused him to develop a vain and chaotic personality, driving him into becoming a gun slinging mercenary, calling himself Rocket. Rocket has an extensive criminal record, and he, along with a sentient tree-like individual and frequent accomplice name Groot, traveled across the galaxy picking up bounties, as they are currently doing right now. Rocket was pointing and looking through his tablet-like device at the citizens of Xandar for any potential bounties.
