On the planet Earth in the year 1980 at the US state of Missouri, a young couple was singing happily to the song 'Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)' by Looking Glass. One was a young female human woman who had blonde hair, hazel eyes and fair skin. The other was man who had messy hair, wearing shades, jeans and a leather jacket. The man looks like a human male, but in truth, he is actually not from Earth, and the woman knows it too. A few minutes later, the man takes the woman to the woods behind a Diary Queen ice cream shop.

"Come on!" the man said.

"Slow down!" the woman said while giggling.

"This way, my river lily! Come on!" the man said.

"Where are you taking me?" the woman said.

"Come on. Come. Look. Look!" the man said.

The man guide the woman before showing her a alien like plant that was glowing.

"Oh, it's beautiful." the woman said in awe.

"I was afraid it wouldn't take to the soil, but it rooted quickly. And soon, it'll be everywhere. All across the universe." the man said, making the woman chuckle.

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but I like the way you say it." the woman said.

"My heart is yours, Meredith Quill." the man said.

Meredith then places her arms around the man's shoulders.

"I can't believe I fell in love with a spaceman." Meredith said.

The two then share a kiss as Meredith is unaware that the man is planting the alien plant for a diabolical plan that won't go into affect for the next three decades.

It's now the year 2014, and at a collective of planets called the Sovereign, the renowned superhero group known as the Guardians of the Galaxy are getting ready for a battle in the middle of a hurricane. It's been two months since they've been hailed as heroes for helping defeat Ronan the Accuser and saving the planet Xandar, and now they're being hired by the High Priestess of the Sovereign to defend her home planet's power source from a interdimensional beast, in agreement for a trade.

"Showtime, a-holes! It will be here any minute." Peter said while looking at his Inter-Dimensional tracker, which is actually a modified Mattel Electronic Football game.

Peter Quill, better known as Star-Lord, is the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Not much of his personality has changed, but he still cares about his friends.

"Which will be its loss." Gamora said.

Gamora, the former assassin and adopted daughter of Thanos, became close to her new friends, especially Peter. During a few months with the Guardians, Gamora's hardened personality has begun to vanish, in which she is becoming an almost mother-figure to Baby Groot, but she still has an aggressive edge. Gamora preps a blaster, which made Peter curious since she would normally use her sword the Godslayer.

"I thought your thing was a sword?" Peter asked.

"We've been hired to stop an interdimensional beast from feeding on those batteries, and I'm gonna stop it with a sword?" Gamora asked.

"It's just, swords were your thing and guns were mine. But I guess we're both doing guns now. I just didn't know that." Peter said.

Gamora then noticed that Drax isn't wearing the aero-rigs, jetpack-like devices invented by Rocket.

"Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket's aero-rigs?" Gamora asked.

"It hurts." Drax replied.
