----- August 4th, 2014 - Nova HQ, Xandar -----

Corpsman Dey quickly makes his way into the room and approaches Nova Prime Irani Rael.

"Nova Prime, I received a transmission from one of the Ravagers. He says Ronan's in possession of something called an Infinity Stone and he's headed toward Xandar."

Nova Prime looks rightfully shocked, and she just mutters, "Good God."

Denarian Saal adds in, not believing, "It's a trick. He's a criminal."

"Did he say why we should believe him?," Rael asks Dey.

"He said his crew just escaped from prison so he'd have no other reason to risk coming to Xandar to help. He says that he's an 'a-hole.' But he's not, and I'm quoting him here,.. 'one hundred percent... a dick.'," Corpsman Dey tells her.

"Do you believe him?," Nova Prime questions.

Corpsman Dey shrugs, "Well, I don't know that I believe anyone's one hundred percent a dick, ma'am."

"I mean, do you believe that he's here to help?," she asks again with a sigh. 

Dey hesitates a moment before nodding, "...Yeah."

Outside up in the skies, The Ravagers fleet of ships stalk near the Dark Aster.

"Fire!," Yondu commands. 

The ships fire at the Dark Aster. The explosion bounces off the ship forming what could be described as a cloud of fire. Nebula can be seen on the other side of a window watching as the fire net expands.

Yondu continues, "Cover it down! Submerge!"

The ships, including the Milano, duck beneath the wall of fire and move beneath the Dark Aster. They all start soaring upward, towards the underbelly of Ronan's vessel.

Peter yells over to Rocket in his own ship, "Rocket, hurry!"

A few Ravager ships led by Rocket are shooting continuous fire at one side of The Dark Aster. The others are on the other side, blasting the ships of Ronan's men as they charge at them.

Eventually, a giant hole is torn through by Rockets heavy fire.

"Quill! Yondu! Now!," Rocket shouts.

The Milano and The ship Yondu's in speed off and through a few ships. They try to dodge past gunfire and ships crashing into them.

They were trying to make it up higher towards Rocket.

Unfortunately, Yondu gets hit by a rogue ship part, wrecking his wing.

As he nosedives down, Yondu yells to Peter, "Aw, hell! I'm going down, Quill! No more games with me, boy! I'll see you at the end of this!"

Peter keeps piloting The Milano past and through Ronan's men. One shot manages to just graze the ship but he's able to keep it steady.

"There are too many of them, Rocket!," Gamora shouts, "We'll never make it up there!"

Just then, they notice Nova Corps ships joining them. To their sides and front, escorting them higher.

"Peter Quill, this is Denarian Saal of the Nova Corps," They hear, "For the record, I advised against trusting you here."

From behind Peter, Y/N exclaims with a laugh, "Dude, they got your 'dick' message!"

With the help of the Nova ships, Peter is able to thrust The Milano forwards and faster. They rush past The Nova and The Ravagers. Peter lands their ship inside the Dark Aster through the hole that was shot through it.
