1|Bounty Hunting

"If my name was Peter Quill where would I go to sell a special item for more units?" I pondered out loud, flying my ship through space. I was nearing Xandar which made me groan, it was one of the few planets on my list I didn't want to check to find Quill. I had committed so many crimes there before I became part of the Ravagers. I sighed and flew on down to the surface, to the capitol city there and to somewhere I could land without being recognised by security. When I'd finally found a place and landed I made it my first priority to locate any places or people who'd be looking to buy that orb thing Quill has. Using my scanner, I scanned several buildings and people and came up with nothing. Groaning, I got down on all four of my paws and ran faster than what I could on two to scout out another part of the city, seems as it was huge.

Took me about 15 minutes to navigate the area and scan it, coming up with something unexpected, Quill. He had just come out of a place and was yelling at somebody who was inside. A green woman came round and began speaking to him, but I wasn't close enough to hear it. Within seconds she stole the orb from him and kicked his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. I quickly scurried along on all of my paws to get to him, I needed to get him back to Yondu alive with the orb. A lovely fight between the two ensued mixed with a chase, which I joined in on eventually. I had to keep changing what level of the pathways to run along to best get at them. Just as I was almost there, something small and furry blurred past me and attacked the green woman while a giant tree thing walked up beside me and watched. I stood up on my hind legs and couldn't help but chuckle at the little scuffle between the woman and the furry creature. During this time Quill had taken it upon himself to grab the orb and make a run for it.

"QUILL!" I yelled and scurried after him. In the midst of him turning back to see me, the green woman threw a knife at him which knocked the orb out of his hand. When I got to him, I launched myself up and pinned him down. He was bigger and probably stronger than me, so I basically had to sit on him to get him to stay down. He kicked me off and I fell over the edge onto the lower pathway, where the orb had gone. It hurt my back when I landed, and my ears flattened. 'For fuck sakes Peter!' Suddenly, he jumped down and placed something on the green woman, who was running with the orb and made her basically fly away after he'd grabbed the orb. Just when I thought this couldn't get any worse, the tree thing put Quill into a giant bag and began walking towards the other furry creature who was talking back to him. Eventually, I got up off the floor and ran towards it. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was what Peter had informed me was a raccoon. 'Yes, whilst being part of the Ravagers he'd educate me on Earths creatures seems as I was a more evolved version of what they called a fennec fox.' I jumped at the raccoon and we rolled over in a scuffle as the woman headed for the tree thing carrying Quill.

"Get," He pushed my face out of his way, "Off of me!" He complained and we continued to have our little scuffle. I completely ignored Quill at this point, forgetting what I was here for. The raccoon managed to shove me off and I landed near the woman with the wind being knocked out of my stomach. I groaned and watched as Quill ran away with the orb. All of a sudden, the raccoon shot Peter with a rather large weapon that looked very customised and it shocked him, causing him to fall to the ground. As I was slowly gaining my strength back to get up, me and the green woman along with the tree and raccoon were beamed up by none other than the 'police' of Xandar, the Nova Corps.

"Subject 89P13, drop your weapon," One of them said. 'So, he was a test subject?' He complied and the officer continued.

"By authority of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest." Whilst we were suspended in the air, two other guards had retrieved Peter and were talking to him.

Now we were all inside the Kyln, one of the biggest highest security prisons in the galaxy. I groaned when the raccoon wouldn't shut up.

"I guess most of Nova Corps wanna uphold the laws but these ones here, they're corrupt and cruel. But, hey, that's not my problem. I ain't gonna be here long," He continued on and on to the point where I had to block him out but pulling my large ears down. Eventually, my ears began to hurt from being strained so I let them go and they pinged back up to where the previously were.

"What's a raccoon?" The raccoon asked.

"'What's a raccoon?'" Peter looked down at him, "It's what you are, stupid."

"Ain't no thing like me, except me," The raccoon boasted.

"Oh please..." I mumbled, "I'm surrounded by bloody idiots." My tail swished as I walked, and I knew it was annoying the raccoon behind me. I was taller than him by a bit, especially if you counter my large ears. I deliberately kept hitting him with my tail, trying to annoy him and stop him from focusing on talking. We continued walking and Peter was curious about the orb. When we came across where our belonging were I had to laugh at Peter complaining about some blue guy listening to music.

A little while later, we all had to change into the prison uniform, and I was the second to come out after being soaked in the orange liquid. My fur was all wet and dripping with the substance, causing me to shake as much of it off as I could before changing to the yellow uniform. It blended in with my light creamy coloured fur. Once I was finished, I sat next to Quill on the bench and punched his arm lightly.

"Long time no see aye?" I whispered.

"Let me guess, Yondu sent you?" He questioned.

"Yeah..." I sighed, "Look, I wish it were different, us meeting again and all. I've missed robbing things with you Quill," I chuckled.

"Mhm, they were good times," He patted my head and stroked one of my ears as the raccoon came in. Whilst he was changing, I noticed the strange metal cybernetic like things implanted into his back. 'Definitely a science experiment.' Much like me, his fur was drenched. The green woman, who I now knew as Gamora the daughter of Thanos, came in and then the giant tree creature called Groot. We walked down a hallway and were giving a sleeping mat each. When we came into the main part of the prison, there were a lot of prisoners of all kinds of species, colours, and sizes. I grew a little nervous and my ears dropped slightly, causing the raccoon to snicker at me. So many of the inmates were yelling things at Gamora, she was responsible for a lot of their family's deaths and whatnot.

"It's like I said, she's got a rep," The raccoon stated.

"And not a very good one at that," I added.

"A lot of prisoners here have lost their families to Ronan and his goons. She'll last a day, tops."

"The guards will protect her, right?" Peter asked.

"They're here to stop us from getting out. They don't care what we do to each other inside."

"Whatever nightmares the future holds, are dreams compared to what's behind me," Gamora bitterly stated. When Quill turned around from listening to her, he came face to face with a pretty big blue dude. I stayed hidden behind his legs. For a Ravager, I'd never been to a prison before and this was the worst one I'd heard about, so I wasn't exactly very pleased to be stuck in here, especially being small compared to a lot of them and without my gadgets.

"Check out the new meat," The blue guy said in a deep voice, "I'm gonna slather you up in Gunavian jelly, and go to town..." He started and was about to laugh when Groot came over and began to extend his wooded fingers of sorts up the guys nose.

"Let's make something clear," the raccoon began to shout to everyone and pointed at Quill, "This one here is our booty, including the furry one too!" I groaned quietly to myself, knowing he probably knew of my bounty on Xandar and various other places, "You wanna get to them, you go through us, or more accurately, we go through you!"
