Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Baby Groot, Drax, Daranak and Salzer have all gathered at the cockpit to see what's going on after the Milano's alarm went off. Peter discovers to see a lot of Sovereign Omnicraft flying and approaching the Milano from behind the craft, which confuses him.

"This is weird. We've got a Sovereign fleet approaching from the rear." Peter said.

"Why would they do that?" Gamora asked.

"Probably because Rocket stole some of their batteries." Drax replied.

"What?!" Salzer said in disbelief.

"Dude!" Rocket said, making Drax realize he wasn't suppose to say that.

"Right. He didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us. What a mystery this is." Drax said.

Daranak checks Rocket's knapsack to see the stolen Anulax batteries.

"Rocket, you idiot!" Daranak yelled.

The Sovereign Omnicraft started firing laser beams at the Milano. Peter started piloting the ship to evade the blasts, making a sharp turn, causing Nebula and some of the others to lose their balance. Peter evades the blasts as he pilots the Milano out to space, but the Omnicrafts were still on his trail.

"What were you thinking?" Peter asked.

"Dude, they were really easy to steal!" Rocket replied in his defense.

"That's your defense?" Gamora said.

"Come on! You saw how that High Priestess talked down to us. Now I'm teaching her a lesson!" Rocket said.

"I didn't like the way she talk down on us either, but it's still no need to steal!" Salzer said.

"I didn't realized your motivation was altruism. It's really a shame the Sovereign have mistaken your intentions and they're trying to kill us." Peter said without using a sarcastic voice.

"Exactly!" Rocket said.

"I was being sarcastic!" Peter said.

"Oh, no! You're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! Now I look foolish!" Rocket said.

"Can we put the bickering on hold until after we survive this massive space battle?" Gamora said in annoyance.

"More incoming!" Peter said, noticing a large fleet of Sovereign Omnicraft in front of the Milano.

"Good! I wanna kill some guys!" Rocket said.

Rocket then fires the Milano's weapons at the Omnicrafts, destroying a few of them, while Peter pilots to evade the Omnicrafts themselves and their fire.

"You're not killing anyone. All those ships are remotely piloted." Gamora said.

"Well, the Priestess said she can't risk the lives of her own Sovereign citizens." Daranak said.

"Typical cowards." Salzer said.

...

Meanwhile, back at the Sovereign, the Sovereign people were piloting the Omnicraft drones on pods that looks like a arcade game, while Ayesha and the Sovereign Admiral observe the battle.

"What is the delay, Admiral?" Ayesha asked.

"High Priestess, the batteries, they are exceptionally combustible and could destroy the entire fleet." the Sovereign Admiral explained.

"Our concern is their slight against our people. We hired them and they steal from us. It is heresy of the highest order." Ayesha said with anger.

"All command modules, fire with the intent to kill." the Sovereign Admiral ordered.
