AYESHA:

They will serve as a warning to allof those tempted with betraying us;

don’t screw with the Sovereign.

INT. PLANET'S HOLLOW/LASER DRILL - DAY

Yondu works some switches: The LASERS slide back into the

slots all over the ship.

YONDU:

This is gonna hurt.

NEBULA:

Promises, promises.

Yondu flips ALL the switches; ALL THE POWER RUNS PAINFULLY

OUT OF NEBULA’S BODY INTO THE VEHICLE -

AND THE LASERS BEAM OUT OF THE SHIP IN ALL DIRECTIONS AT

ONCE, like a dangerous disco ball, slicing through almostnearly every single ENVOY.

INT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

A BEAM ALMOST HITS Drax, but he LEAPS out of the way. Smoke

rises from a hole in the ground between him and Mantis.

DRAX:

Hey!

INT. PLANET'S HOLLOW/LASER DRILL - DAY

With flair, Yondu spins the pilot’s wheel, so that the wholerig REVOLVES.

Ayesha looks on, in horror as the BEAMS SLICE THROUGH theremaining CRAFT - and one is COMING HER WAY.

AYESHA (ON SHIP)

NO!!

AYESHA’S ENVOY IS RIPPED APART.

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

Ayesha SITS BACK. She looks around her at the other pods: allof them are down.

AYESHA:

NO! NOOOOO!!

INT. PLANET'S HOLLOW/LASER DRILL - DAY

Quill sees FLAMING CHUNKS FLY into the rig...

And FIRE SPILLING toward the ship’s engine, dripping fuel.

QUILL:

We’re gonna blow!

Yondu WHISTLES as the FLAMES HIT THE FUEL

INT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

Gamora watches as the ENTIRE LASER DRILL EXPLODES. She is

stricken.

GAMORA:

Peter?

She sees a tiny body flying from the ship - it’s Nebula, whoLANDS across from her on her feet.

Gamora looks at her, worried. Nebula gives her what might bea little smile, and looks upward. Gamora follows her line ofsight.

Quill is FLYING FROM THE EXPLOSION on his aero-rig. Yondu is

holding onto a flying arrow: his one arm up straight, hisheels touching. Quill looks at him and SNICKERS.

YONDU:

What?

QUILL:

You look like Mary Poppins.

YONDU:

Is he cool?

Quill looks at the man who raised him. He smiles.

QUILL:

Yeah. He’s cool.

Yondu looks out at the Guardians as he comes in for a

landing.

YONDU:

I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!

Quill and Yondu LAND beside Nebula. Gamora sees Quill and

MARCHES TOWARD HIM.

The CAMERA CIRCLES GAMORA AND QUILL, FIERY SHIP FRAGMENTS

RAINING DOWN AROUND THEM IN SLOW-MOTION, as if this is the

greatest heavy metal video of all time.

The other Guardians enter, one by one - Nebula, Drax, Yondu,

Rocket FLYING DOWN on his aero-rig, and finally, Mantis,

staring forward with concentration until -

A HUGE CHUNK OF SPACESHIP FLIES IN FROM THE SIDE, FLATTENING

MANTIS. The others all look down at her in shock.

QUILL:

Oh. Wow.

Mantis, UNCONSCIOUS BENEATH a ship fragment, has lost hold ofEgo.

THE ENTIRE HOLLOW AROUND THEM BEGINS TO RUMBLE. THE GROUND

AND WALLS THEMSELVES SHIFT and WAVER.

The whole cavity is alive. Drax checks on Mantis.

DRAX:

She’s just unconscious.

INT. SELF CHAMBER TUNNELS - DAY

Groot RUNS and HOPS through the tunnels. He comes to acrossroads.

He sees a COSMIC LIGHT emanating from one tunnel. He dashes

off toward it.

INT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

QUILL:

How long before the bomb goes off?

ROCKET:

In the unlikely event Groot doesn’tkill us all, about six minutes.

Yondu speaks into the comm on his lapel.

YONDU:

Kraglin.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - DAY

Kraglin, NODDING OUT, abruptly wakes.

YONDU (O.S.)

We need the Quadrant for extraction

in T-minus five minutes.

KRAGLIN:

Aye, Cap’n!

EXT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

Our heroes peer up to see the SURFACE OF THE PLANET UNFOLDING

ABOVE THEM, so that THE BRIGHT SKY SHINES THROUGH.

QUILL:

Someone needs to be up top whenKraglin arrives. Drax, take Mantis.

Drax nods. He picks up Mantis. Quill grabs the aero-rig offhimself and SLAPS it on Drax’s back, which AUTOMATICALLY

WRAPS around his upper body.

DRAX:

Ahhh! My nipples!

He FLIES UPWARD.

The ground around them SPLITS INTO ENORMOUS CRACKS. Gamorasees a CRACK IN THE EARTH RUSHING TOWARD her and Quill, and

she turns toward him.

And Gamora’s side CRUMBLES AWAY, GAMORA FALLING DOWN with it.

QUILL:

Gamora!!

HUGE BURSTS OF EARTH SHOOT UP all around Drax, Yondu, Rocket,

and Quill.

The planet has formed GIANT TENTACLES THAT HURTLE towards our

heroes.

EXT. LOWER RIFT - DAY

Gamora is PLUMMETING, seemingly to her death, when she looks

over and sees Nebula FALLING just behind her.

Nebula grabs Gamora’s arm and then grabs onto a passing

cliff.

They SNAP TO A STOP- OW! - hanging down off the side.

Nebula tosses Gamora up onto a flat surface.

As Nebula climbs up after her, Gamora looks at her, wary but

surprised by this beneficence.

NEBULA:

Oh, get over it.

EXT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

Quill BLASTS a tentacle.

Yondu WHISTLES, the ARROW WEAVING THROUGH TENTACLES around

them.

Rocket TOSSES a bunch of tiny bombs at some, which they stick

to and EXPLODE.

But they are by no means winning this fight.

EXT. PLANET SURFACE - DAY

The giant Quadrant LOWERS toward the surface.

EXT. LOWER RIFT - DAY

Gamora looks at Nebula.

GAMORA:

We have to get up to the extractionpoint!

They look over the edge and see a huge RIFT OF LAND RISINGQUICKLY. They look at each other and JUMP

They GRAB ONTO THE EDGE of the rising rift, CLUTCHING TO ITas it FLIES upward toward the open space above them.

EXT. PLANET SURFACE - DAY

Drax FLIES UP onto the surface; he sees the Quadrant waitingfor him there. He DARTS for the ship.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - DAY

Kraglin opens the LOADING DOOR

EXT. PLANET SURFACE - DAY

But huge swatches of the planet reach up and GRAB onto theQuadrant, YANKING IT DOWN.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - DAY

Kraglin, freaking out, throws the thrusters into high gear.

I/E. PLANET SURFACE/QUADRANT LOADING BAY - DAY

The thrusters FLARE as the massive ship STRUGGLES to freeitself from Ego’s tendrils.

And it does PULL ITSELF UP for a moment, but the tendrils

tighten, SLAMMING it back down.

The whole Quadrant starts to TIP OVER. Kraglin falls downagainst the side of the ship.

Drax sees the ship FALLING TOWARDS HIM and he RUNS away fromit in fear.

But he arrives a the edge of a cliff. He crouches as the

ship CONTINUES DOWN toward him, about to SQUASH both he andMantis -

But Kraglin heroically CRAWLS his way back up to the controlsas he dangles from them. He pushes on the thrusters, so thatthe ship goes back upright.

Drax turns and again RUNS toward the Quadrant.

EXT. PLANET’S HOLLOW - DAY

Gamora and Nebula are still rising on the rift when they SLAMinto a wall near the opening in the surface of the planet.

EXT. BELOW SELF CHAMBER - DAY

Quill turns and sees Ego, in his terrifying SKELETAL LIGHTFORM, STROLLING DOWN TOWARDS HIM as the land around him PARTS

LIKE THE RED SEA.
