"Astra?" Gamora responded to the call.

"Keep that transmitter nearby so we can find you." The brunette got right to the point as she climbed down a ladder, Rocket and Groot following.. "We're in an old piece of construction equipment Yondu once used to slice open the Bank of A'askavaria"

"Ego's unkinged." The green girl told her.

"I know. Get ready." Astra advised before adding. "And stay safe."

"Dop her, Kraglin." Yondu ordered. The small ship was released from the larger on, shooting down to the red planet with an evil face.

"Hey, Ash." Rocket called, the brunette looking over to see his worrisome face. "Do we survive this?"

"Eh," She thought. "I've never fought a planet before and I haven't seen past this moments, so, let's hope for the best."

"I am Groot."

"Yeah, well, you aren't much help either." Astra sassed back at the little plant.

The golden-yellow ship zoomed at the main building at full speed, crashing through the large window. "Hey there, jackass." Yondu greeted, flooring right into Ego.

Astra opened the door, letting the others onto the ship. "Hurry up, idiots. We gotta get out of here." She grunted and they didn't waste anymore time. "Hey, sis." She grunted when she pulled Nebula up.

"Sorry for selling you out." She bald girl mumbled.

"Yeah, well, my brother once left me at a baseball game when I was 9. Turns out he was just trying to get rid of me."

"He sounds like a jerk." Nebula commented, looking over with confused eyes when following Astra through the ship.

"He's a sweetheart, really."

They finally net up with Rocket, swirling in his chair. "What are you doing? You could have killed us all!" Drax pointed out while behind him Mantis tased the floor anxiously.

"Ah, 'Thank you, Rocket.'"

"We had it under control."

"We did not." Mantis spoke up. "That is only and extension of his true self. He will be back soon."

"What's Smurfette doing here" Peter grunted out, he and Gamora now on the ship.

"Whatever I need to do to get a damn ride home." She sassed.

"She tried to murder me!" Rocket shouted.

"I saved you, you stupid fox." She claimed.

"He's not a fox." Gamora defended.

"I am Groot."

"I'm not a baboon, either."
