Don't you move! Get out of the way!

Ronan the Accuser!

You are the one who

transmitted the message?

You killed my wife.

You killed my daughter!

I told you, you can't fit.

Now, wait here. I'll be back.

It is Gamora. She is

escaping with the Orb.

No!

Nebula,

retrieve the Orb.

The Stone is in the furthest pod.

Bring it down!

Rocket, keep them off Gamora

until she gets to the Milano.

How? We've got no

weaponry on these things.

These pods are industrial grade.

They're nearly indestructible.

Not against necroblasts, they're not.

That's not what I'm saying.

Let me borrow your ride.

I don't recall killing your family.

I doubt I'll remember killing you, either.

Quill, I'm trapped.

I can't make it to the Milano.

I have to head out.

Wait! These things aren't

meant to go out there.

You are a disappointment, sister.

Of all our siblings,

I hated you least.

Nebula, please.

If Ronan gets this stone

- he'll kill us all.

- Not all.

You will already be dead.

Ronan, it is done.

Quill, come on.

Her body mods should keep her

alive a couple more minutes,

but there's nothing we can do for her.

These pods aren't

meant to be out here.

In a second, we're gonna

be in the same boat.

Damn it.

Quill?

Yondu! Yondu.

This is Quill!

- My coordinates are 227 K324.

- Quill.

Quill, what are you doing?

Just outside Knowhere.

If you're there, come get me.

I'm all yours.

Quill, don't be ridiculous.

Get back into your pod!

You can't fit two people in there.

You're gonna die.

You'll die in seconds!

Quill.

Quill?

What happened?

I saw you out there.

I don't know what came over me.

But I couldn't let you die.

I found something inside of myself.

Something

incredibly heroic.

I mean, not to brag,

but, objectively...

Where's the Orb?

It's... Well, they got the Orb.

What?

Welcome home, Peter.

Blasted idiot. They're all idiots!

Quill just got himself captured.

None of this ever would have happened

if you didn't try to single-handedly

take on a frickin' army!

You're right.

I was a fool.

All the anger,

all the rage,

was just to cover my loss.

"My wife and child are dead."

I don't care if it's mean!

Everybody's got dead people.

It's no excuse to get everybody else

dead along the way!

Come on, Groot. Ronan has the Stone.

The only chance we got is to get

to the other side of the universe

as fast as we can and maybe,

just maybe, we'll be able to live full lives

before that whack-job ever gets there.

I am Groot.

Save them? How?

I am Groot.

I know they're the only

friends that we ever had,

but there's an army of

Ravagers around them.

And there's only two of us!

Three.

You're making me

beat... up

grass!

The Orb is in my possession,

as I promised.

Bring it to me.

Yes, that was our agreement.

Bring you the Orb,

and you will destroy Xandar for me.

However, now that I know

it contains an Infinity Stone,

I wonder what use I have for you.

Boy,

I would reconsider your current course.

Master! You cannot!

Thanos is the most powerful

being in the universe.

Not anymore.

You call me "boy!"

I will unfurl 1,000 years

of Kree justice on Xandar,

and burn it to its core!

Then, Thanos,

I am coming for you.

After Xandar, you are

going to kill my father?

You dare to oppose me?

You see what he has turned me into.

If you kill him, I will help you

destroy a thousand planets.

You betray me?

Steal my money?

Stop it! Leave him alone!

When I picked you up as a kid,

these boys wanted to eat you.

They ain't never tasted Terran before.

I saved your life!

Will you shut up about that? God!

Twenty years, you been

throwing that in my face,

like it's some great thing, not eating me.

Normal people don't even think

about eating someone else!

Much less that person

having to be grateful for it!

You abducted me, man.

You stole me from my

home and from my family.

You don't give a damn

about your Terra!

You're scared

because you're soft in here.

Here, right here!

Yondu!

Listen to me.

Ronan has something

called an Infinity Stone.

I know what he's got, girl.

Then you know we must get it back!

He's gonna use it to wipe out Xandar.

We have to warn them.

Billions of people will perish.

Is that what she's been

filling your head with, boy?

Sentiment?

Eating away your brain like maggots!

That's it.

No!

Sorry, boy.

But a captain's gotta teach his men

what happens to those what cross him.

Captain's gotta teach stuff!

If you kill me now,

you are saying goodbye to the

biggest score you have ever seen.

The Stone?

I hope you got something

better than that.

Because ain't nobody

stealing from Ronan.

We got a ringer.

Is that right?

She knows everything there

is to know about Ronan.

His ships,

his army.

He's vulnerable.

Hey, what do you say, Yondu?

Me and you, taking down a mark

side-by-side, like the old days.

Let him go!

You always did have a scrote, boy!

That's why I kept you on as a young'un.

Captain, the shot was non-damaging.

Attention, idiots.

The lunatic on top of this craft

is holding a Hadron Enforcer.

It's a weapon of my own design.

What the hell?

If you don't hand over

our companions now,

he's gonna tear your ship a new one.

A very big new one!

- I ain't buyin' it.

- I'm giving you to the count of five.

- 5, 4, 3...

- No! Wait, hold on!

Rocket, it's me, for God sakes!

We figured it out! We're fine!

Hey, Quill. What's going on?

You call that "figured it out"?

We're gonna rob the guys

who just beat us senseless.

You want to talk about senseless?

How about trying to save

us by blowing us up?

We were only gonna blow you

up if they didn't turn you over!

And how on earth were

they gonna turn us over

when you only gave

them a count of five?

We didn't have time to work

out the minutiae of the plan.

This is what we get for

acting altruistically.

- I am Groot.

- They are ungrateful.

What's important now is we get the

Ravagers' army to help us save Xandar.

So we can give the Stone to Yondu who's

just gonna sell to somebody even worse?

- We'll figure that part out later.

- We have to stop Ronan.

How?

- I have a plan.

- You've got a plan?

Yes.

First of all, you're copying me

from when I said I had a plan.

No, I'm not. People say that all the time.

It's not that unique of a thing to say.

Secondly, I don't even

believe you have a plan.

I have part of a plan!

What percentage of

a plan do you have?

You don't get to ask questions after

the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.

I just saved Quill.

We've already established that you destroying

the ship that I'm on is not saving me.

- When did we establish it?

- Like three seconds ago!

I wasn't listening. I was

thinking of something else.

She's right. You don't get an opinion.

What percentage?

- I don't know. Twelve percent.

- Twelve percent?

That's a fake laugh.

- It's real!

- Totally fake.

That is the most real, authentic,

hysterical laugh of my entire life

- because that is not a plan.
