Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

I trust you are all familiar with Ronan the Accuser.

Fanatic, ruthless, power-mad.

And fortunately,

now no longer among the living.

However, his elimination means that Thanos,

the greatest threat to our galaxy,

is now without a general.

Ronan's absence from Thanos' inner circle

has created a power vacuum.

Where is this power vacuum?

I will find it and use it

to cleanse the galaxy of all those scum!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Drax!

Stop swingin' that thing around, you d'ast fool!

I will not, Rocket.

Ronan used this weapon to destroy my family!

I will use it to destroy Thanos!

I am Groot!

Put the Universal Weapon down.

And quit sulking like a baby.

I am sulking like a full-grown man.

Who sleeps with a dolly.

I told you that in confidence, Quill.

And Mr. Rhinopus belonged to my daughter!

You confided in Quill?

He couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it.

Or hold a map still while I'm trying to navigate.

Yeesh, take a recording, Gamora. It lasts longer.

Good idea.

Will you losers pipe down

so as I can spy on Nova Corps in peace?

We believe Thanos will be naming his new general shortly,

based on communications we've intercepted between Ronan's former lieutenants,

Korath, Nebula and Gamora.

What is the meaning of this?

I am no traitor!

Says the lady who betrayed Thanos.

So how come Nova Corps thinks

you're keepin' in touch with Korath and Nebula?

What? Kids plannin' a surprise party for "daddy" Thanos?

Easy.

It's not like Nova Corps is the most trustworthy source of information.

Titus.

Why did you think I hacked into their comm feed in the first place?

I can't speak for Nova Corps.

But I won't stay one more moment

with a team that doesn't trust me.

We get it, Gamora. You were raised by Thanos,

you used to work for Ronan, you turned your back on both of 'em.

Water under the bridge.

Where is this bridge?

Will we find Thanos there?

Oy! No, it means we trust her.

See that reading? My Boom Box doesn't lie.

The Cosmic Seed is right here on Planet Sarawat!

Or it was here, and now it's, um...

There.

In that place.

I doubt the Cosmic Seed was ever on Sarawat.

It's supposed to accelerate life,

but I don't see much evidence of that.

Except for that.

Okay, here's an idea.

Let's get out of here before that thing eats us!

Retro-jets are failing!

Guns ain't doin' it either!

If the Cosmic Seed was here,

that thing must've absorbed its energy.

We need to dislodge it from the ship before that thing absorbs us.

I am Groot!

Good idea. I've been wantin' to try 'em out.

I put a lot of sweat into those space pods,

so don't scratch the paint!

The only thing I plan on scratchin'

is old space squid here.

I am Groot.

No kidding, nothing's happening!

Haven't you done enough damage with that Universal Weapon?

No. I believe I can do considerably more damage

than I have thus far.

Observe.

Yeah, damage to us!

So maybe we can do more damage from the inside!

You wanna get eaten? That's disgusting.

This from the guy who eats from the garbage unit.

I was cleaning it!

With your tongue?

At least I use my tongue for eatin',

and not blabbing stuff that ain't nobody's business!

Told you Quill can't keep a secret.

Creatures, twelve o'clock!

Not true! I never said a word

about that fungus on Groot's butt!

I am Groot.

Hey, Gamora, this creature's like an amoeba, right?

If you mean a single-cell bio-organism, then yes.

So that's probably the nucleus! We ice that, we ice the whole thing!

Fine. One distraction comin' up.

You want some of this?

I am Groot!

You owe me a space pod, Quill!

Make that two space pods!

Where's the Milano?

Okay, Gamora, very funny, ha, ha.

Now come pick us up...

Gamora?

I am Groot.

She ain't in trouble.

She's ditchin' us!

We never should have trusted her!

Looks like we never should have trusted her piloting.

Gamora! Explain your actions!

Where is she? I dunno, but her space pod's gone.

I am Groot! I am Groot!

Good idea. I better check.

Quill's Boom Box is gone?

I'm shocked.

Shocked, I say! See my face? This is my shocked face.

Oh, come on, guys.

This is Gamora... Who maybe hit that big blob on purpose to get rid of us!

What if Nova Corps is right

and she's been working for Thanos the whole time?

Or she was kidnapped,

or forced to betray us against her will.

That is easily the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

I am Groot.

You got that right, bud.

You know you're in trouble when Drax is the smart one.

Fortunately, I put tracers on everything!

Everything?

I am Groot?

Everything. Including the pods.

So as I can nab the little green backstabber!

I'm sure this is all one big misunderstanding!

Besides, you guys gotta stay here and fix the ship.

I am Groot!

Okay, her pod's showing damage.

That's not good.

And that's even worse.

Don't worry, you're safe.

What are you doing? You'll ruin everything!

Go away!

Hello, sister.

You called. I came.

Now show me what I want.

Um, why is Thanos' other daughter here

and why is she not trying to kill you yet?

Nebula, you're late.

Korath's spies must have learned of our plan.

He ambushed me and took the CryptoCube.

Wait, Korath has my Boom Box?

Oh, man, Gamora, what have you done?

Together, we can take it back, and regain Thanos' good graces!

So the Nova Corps rumors are true.

You do want to be his general.

But why include me in your scheme?

Because we cannot allow Korath

to become our father's favorite.

Okay, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

None of this makes any sense.

Oh, unless it's a plot to take her down!

Nice, Gamora. I knew we could trust y...

Oh!

You should have trusted Nova Prime.

Gamora... No...

You still need to prove that I can trust you.

End him.

Now.

I can't kill

We need him to operate the CryptoCube.

Why would we need this fool to operate an empty box?

Uh...

No reason...

Right, Gamora?

The Pandorian crystals interact within the CryptoCube to form a map

to the Cosmic Seed.

He's the only one who can work the thing.

Why do you think I let him follow me?

And you say I can't keep a secret?

Maybe I'll just take him and vaporize you.

If you thought you could beat Korath without me, you would have already done that.

Or you could just let me go and then nobody gets the CryptoCube...

Mistress Nebula, we are closing in on Korath's ship.

He hasn't spotted us yet so we still have the element of surprise.

Nice room. Time to leave.

There's a weak spot in the shield generator near Korath's main thrusters.

Hit him there, and we gain the maneuvering advantage.

Lord Korath has spotted us.

Nebula! What are you doing in this sector?

As if you didn't know, Korath.
