End of Chapter 10 -
"Peter, I'll do it. I'll blow up Ego. I'm powerful enough, and it's sort of fitting for me because he tortured me not long ago." Carol states.
"Carol, are you sure?" You ask, worry filling your voice.
"Y/N, I want to kill that bastard. Once and for all."

The Milano comes to a halt above Ego's planet. It's a lot bigger than you had previously thought! The planet seemed to have... a face, and it looked angry! Am I hallucinating or is that real?
"Right, Guardians, are we ready to fight a whole planet?" Rocket asks.
"That 'planet' is merely one guy, I can take him easily." Drax replies seriously.
"Drax, for the love of God, it is not just 'one guy'! That 'guy' is Ego, a motherfucking celestial! A God! You cannot take him on your own!" Peter points out, and you laugh.
"We'll be fine. We're gonna make it out of this alive." You answer, looking over at Carol.
She gives you a small smile and moves to the back of the Milano, ready to fly out and scout the planet. You follow her and reach for her hand, making her jump a little bit then relax when she realises it's you. "Carol, you remember what you have to do? Scout the atmosphere and see if he is somewhere he can be deemed vulnerable?" You ask, reminding her.
"Yeah, sure. I'll use the comms to say where he is." Carol says.
"Good luck." You walk over to her and give her a quick peck on the lips 'for luck'.
"You too." And with that, Carol jumps out the ship and begins her mission. You return to the Guardians, and prepare yourself for your mission.

"Land the ship in the centre of the planet. There is a building there. He must be in there." Carol says into the comms.
You land the ship nearby the planet's point of origin, which you all worked out to be his brain. You and Peter head down to find Ego and negotiate with him. You enter a massive palace-looking building, it looked magnificent. The walls were lined with gold and stained glass. In the middle of the building were egg-shaped orbs, which appeared to show several stages of Ego's many years of life. "Peter, come here!"
Peter runs over to you. "Isn't that... isn't that your mother?" You ask, pointing at the orb with a woman standing in, next to a ma, who you assumed was Ego.
"Oh my Jesus, Y/N. How did he know my mother? What does this mean? Why is this here? Y/N, I think I'm freaking out!" Peter panics.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see a bright blue glowing light, that is almost blinding. "Ego." You state.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing with my son?"

Carol's P.O.V
The rest of the Guardians and I head down to the centre of the planet, where the brain is held in a structure that resembles the skeleton. "Right, I'm going to try and break through the membrane. Keep the Milano close in case it doesn't work." I instruct.
