One Marvelous Guidebook to Defeating Galactus

Meeting in Space 2: Fighting for Knowhere

A metal tube buries itself into the ground right where Spider-Man was standing. If he didn't jump out of the way, he would have been squashed into the planet. The teenager's heart picks up the pace as he gets into fighting mode.

"Hey guys! Don't you think we should defeat this guy as fast as we can?" Spider-Man yells as he climbs the silver tube up to its owner. "Because he's literally eating the planet!"

"That's usually a good idea when beating up bad guys!" Quill rolls out of the way just in time to dodge an attack from Galactus. He turns on his rocket boots and flies up next to the other Peter. "How do we defeat him?!"

"We must be persistent, Quill. Attack him with as much strength as we can muster!" Drax slashes his twin swords horizontally, cutting a metal tube in half. Kraglin stands next to him, using the magic arrow to take out many tubes at once.

Gamora attacks the planet-eating mechanisms as well, but realizes that the more they destroy, the more tubes come to replace the broken ones. "We need to drive him away! Nebula and I will see if the citizens here have a contingency plan for evacuation."

"Blast!" Loki tries to attack, but gets knocked back by the silver metal. He holds his side and takes a deep breath as he stands up.

"Hey you, god of mischief!" Loki turns to the one who called his name and sees Rocket throw him a huge gun. Loki catches it, dropping his small daggers as a result. Rocket sees Loki charge up the gun and decides to explain more, "That red button will transform it into Melee Mode. Use it to access close up combat."

Without needing further instruction, Loki presses the button. The gun shifts around and transforms into some sort of club or bat to hit things with. Loki finds it's much easier to use than his daggers against something this big.

Spider-Man and Star Lord slowly but surely make their ways up to the top where Galactus' face is. The older Peter stays close to the younger one, determined to keep his promise to Tony. Groot climbs up with them as well, using his tree abilities to form branches and help him climb.

"We are almost at the top, Guardians. How's it going down there?" Quill uses the connecting earpieces to communicate with his fellow teammates.

"We are alright down here for now, but they are coming by the numbers! Galactus won't merely give up." Loki jumps on top of a tube, and uses his new height to destroy two incoming ones. "What is your plan?"

"Mr. Stark always said that the one who's higher up always has an advantage. If we can get to at least his level, we can see exactly what we are up against." Peter Parker explains, recalling the training session he had with Tony.

"Speaking of which..." As Peter Quill's voice trails off, the group of three reach the top of the climb. Now that they are getting a good look at Galactus, they can see all his features and tell he looks just like a giant human man with a fancy purple helmet on.

"Ah, I thought I smelled pests." Galactus smiles evilly, showing off pearly white teeth that could eat all three of them in one chomp. "Why do you interfere with Galactus?"

Not believing they are getting a chance to actually talk to him, Spider-Man lowers his mask. "W-we want to know why you are destroying planets!"

Galactus chuckles, glad that he strikes fear in the heart of the teenager. "I am cursed, small one, cursed by the infinite hunger. I strive to consume every inch of the galaxy, and only then will my hunger be truly satisfied."

"Why don't you just e-eat abandoned planets?!" Peter Parker tries to keep a steady voice, but struggles to do so. He knows, however, that these questions must be answered. They have to know about their enemy.
