I know I've been absent lately, I've been doing stuff. Also, I wanted to announce something. Before you get worried, I WILL continue this story. But It'll probably been a few months before the next update, just until the movie comes out on DVD. Why? Because I've seen the movie ONCE. I can't remember how I must write the battle and I want it to be perfect because SHIT will happen and not just what happened in the movie.

BUT! If any of you remembers how the battle should go, please, inform it to me on a review and I might publish a chapter sooner than expected. If you guys help me with that, the chapters that go after are pure fanfic without a need for the movie.

Chapter 11: Mutiny part 2

"You didn't kill them, Yondu! It was Ego!" Meredith yelled with tears in her eyes.

"Ah took them to the slaughter, Meredith! Ah'm as guilty as Ego is!" He yelled back. "Ah was dealing kids! Why else do ya' think Ah and this crew is exiled from the Ravager clan!?"

"ENOUGH!"

Both Ravagers stared at Rocket. He growled. "Listen! If that A class bastard is going to harm my bastard humie friend, then we have to get out of here! Stop whining! You're adults, remember? If I didn't know any better, I will say you two were a married couple." He did not noticed the Ravagers blushes. "Now we have to get Quill back. I KNEW Terrans were stupid."

"Ahem."

"Except you, Mrs. Quill."

Meredith and Yondu stayed quiet for a moment and then nodded. "You're right, Rocket." Meredith said and stood up. "We need to find a way out of here."

Yondu stood up as well. "Without ma' arrow or keys we won't."

Then they heard a sniff and tiny feet. They looked outside the cell and spotted a little tree.

"Groot!"

The little tree looked up with a sad gaze and slowly walked up to the cell bars. He sniffed. "I am Groot…" He whined.

Rocket kneeled down. "Aw, man. What did they do to you?" His gaze softened.

Groot nodded. "I am Groot. I am Groot, I am Groot…" He sniffed.

Rocket growled. "Well, that's crap and you know what? We're gonna make them pay!"

Meredith down at the little tree. "But first, you need to help us. Can you help us?" She used her 'mother' voice to which Groot immediately agreed.

Yondu looked down at the little tree. "Good then. Ya' need to go to ma' room and get ma' a prototype fin."

Rocket looked down at Groot. "Did you get that?"

Groot nodded and quickly ran away to get it. He came back with…

"That's ma' underwear, twig." Yondu deadpanned. Meredith chuckled and Rocket rolled his eyes.

"You have to be more specific with him. He probably didn't even know what you were talking about." Rocekt told him.

"Don't worry, sweetie." Meredith told Groot. "You can try again."

"Don't 'mama' him, Mrs. Quill. Gamora has done enough of it." Rocket warned. "I don't want him to be a mama's boy."

Yondu sighed. "It's a prototype fin."

He came back with…

"That's a desk." Yondu deadpanned as he walked around the cell. He had ditched the coat, showing off a uniform that hugged his muscles, much to Meredith's secret enjoyment.

"We told you it was about this big." Rocket told Groot, who in turn…

…brought a severed toe.

Yondu, Meredith and Rocket stared down at the toe. Yondu opened his mouth to speak, but could not find the words for it. Meredith simply stared down at the toe. Rocket's gaze never left the toe. "Tell me you guys have a refrigerator with severed toes around here." Yondu and Meredith slowly shook their heads.

"I think I know whose toe is that…" Meredith commented.

"Who?" Yondu asked.

"You don't wanna know."

After that, he brought a mechanical eye, one which Rocket replied with a laugh and decided to keep it. Groot brought a bunch of things after that like used tooth brushes, used bandages, a rock and nail clips. Yondu decided it was enough. "Alright, listen, twig. You'll find a nightstand with this symbol." He took off his Ravager insignia and passed it to Groot. "Inside it, you'll find a red fin. You bring that."

Groot nodded and took off. The trio sighed. "What do you think he'll bring this time?" Rocket asked.

"Have a little faith in him." Meredith replied.

"Darling, he brought a severed toe."

"He's a baby, smurf."

"What's a smurf?" Rocket asked.

Yondu shrugged. "Ah've been asking that myself for a long time."

"A smurf is a creature from a Terran cartoon. They're blue." Meredith smirked. Rocked laughed.

Yondu glared. "Ah don't like it."

"I don't like your nickname either."

"Ah'll call you love, then."

"Well I- I will- I'll- I'll call you BLUEBERRY!"

Yondu and Rocket shared a look. "What's a blueberry?" They asked.

Meredith smiled. "A blue fruit."

Yondu frowned. "Ah'm starting to believe ya have something against ma' skin color."

"No, I don't."

"I think she finds it attractive." Rocket chuckled.

"Rocket!" They both yelled.

All of a sudden, the red prototype fin was thrown into the cell along with two twin blasters and a small earpiece that Meredith recognized as her own space mask. They looked up and saw Kraglin standing there with Groot safely in his hands. He placed the little tree between the bars and looked away. "I didn't mean to cause a mutiny. I should have stopped it when I could…" He wiped a tear away. "They killed all ma' friends." His voice cracked.

"Oh, Kraglin…" Meredith whispered.

Yondu looked at Kraglin with a passive expression for a moment. "Prepare the Quadrant, Kraglin. We're leaving the hell outta here."

Kraglin smiled and did the Ravager punch to the chest. Meredith smiled. "You have to make sure to get my music there, though. It's all in a brown bag by my bed."

"Consider it done, Nurse Quill."

"Oh wait!" Rocket said. "Do you happen to have a copy of Pete's music? Come on! Put it on, it will be funny."

OOO

As soon as they were out of the cell, the group went to the closest workshop and Rocket quickly started to adjust the new fin to Yondu's head. Meredith hooked the blasters to her belt and placed the earpiece mask behind her ear. Yondu watched her from his seat as she enlisted Groot's help to salvage anything useful around the workshop before leaving.

"You love her, don't you?" Rocket whispered.

"What?" Yondu was about to turn when Rocket held his head in place.

"Stay still."

"What are ya' talking 'bout, rat?"

Rocket chuckled. "You won't stop staring at her and that means two things. One, either you're a creep or two, you love her. I was feeling kind today, so I decided to go for option number two. You love her."

Yondu side glared at the raccoon. "You tell anyone, I'll kill ya'."

"I won't promise anything." Rocket smirked.

Meredith came back with a bag full of… stuff. Honestly, Yondu was not going to ask. He really didn't care. But he did corrupted this woman at some degree, he made her a Ravager after all (one without a criminal record, but a Ravager nonetheless). Taking what she needed without asking was part of it.

"Groot and I are ready." She commented. "Also, I got your gun, Rocket."

"Sweet, thanks." He said.

Meredith smiled at Yondu. "The fin makes you look taller."

They smiled when 'Come a little bit closer' started to play throughout the Eclector's sound system. All of a sudden two Ravagers appeared in the workshop. They were about to shoot when Yondu whistled and killed them both. "Show time." Rocket said and finished the last adjustment. Yondu stood up and smiled at Meredith. "How do Ah look?"

"Like you're gonna kick ass." She said and pushed the button on her earpiece. A metal mask materialized around her head with two glowing blue optics staring back at Yondu.

"Damn, woman. You look like you're gonna kill someone." Yondu joked.

"I'm not above it."

Rocket shivered. "The resemblance between you and Pete scares me." He picked his gun.

Meredith smiled behind her mask. "Thank you. I get that a lot." She grabbed her blasters as Groot climbed his way up to Yondu's shoulder.

Soon enough, Yondu's arrow was at work as it killed each and every one of the Ravagers that stood in their way.

"You know." Yondu commented to Rocket as he side glanced at Meredith shooting off some scum. "There's a reason Ah never let her go on the more dangerous missions."

"Why's that?"

"DOWN WITH THE EMPIRE!" Meredith yelled in the background.

Yondu looked down at Rocket. "She gets trigger happy. Seriously, she's dangerous in the battlefield."

"Isn't that good for your side?"

"Ya' don't seem to get it. No one is safe from her when she gets into 'battlefield' mode. Ah mean no one. How do ya' think she earned respect around here?"

"I am Groot!" Groot angrily yelled as he pointed to certain Ravager in the upper levels.

Rocket smirked. "Sure, buddy. He's all yours." Groot nodded and extended his vines up to finish off the guy that belittled him.

Rocket turned to Yondu again. "Care to give me an example about Mrs. Quill over there?"

Yondu bit his lip. "Maybe you should look to ma' left. Ya'll see what Ah'm talking 'bout." Rocket glanced at Meredith.

"You wanna know who I am!? I'll tell you who I am! I'M MEREDITH FREAKING QUILL, QUEEN OF SASSGARD!" And she shoot down the Ravagers to her left. "RULER OF COOLVILLE!" She shoot those to her right. "STRAIGHT FROM MISSOURI!" She shoot to those above her. "You're welcome!"

Yondu couldn't help but smile. Rocket smirked. "She's bullshit crazy in the battlefield alright."

"Yep."

"That woman has my respect on so many levels."

"Agree."

A Ravager fell down beside them as Groot jumped into Rocket's shoulder. In a matter of seconds, they reached the security room, one they used to gain advantage over the enemy.

It was a massacre and none of them seemed to care.

Yondu noticed Taserface in one of the screens. He growled and sent his arrow towards his direction. With one specific whistle, the arrow lit itself in flames and flew pass Taserface. Oh no, he was not aiming at that idiot. He smirked when the engines behind the traitor exploded.

Rocket and Meredith stared at the Centaurian with horrified expressions. "You… maniac…" Rocket whispered.

Yondu turned to them. "Time to move. Now." He made his way out of the security room and quickly found the entrance to the Quadrant. Once inside, they took seats and buckled up. Meredith deactivated the earpiece and turned to Kraglin. "Everything ready?"

"Yep. Here's ya' music." He tossed a brown bag to her. She quickly investigated its contents and sighed in relief.

"Get us out of here! This blue idiot decided it was a good idea to blow up the big ship's engines!"

"Cap'n!" Kraglin yelled and quickly turned to the motherboard while Rocket typed away on another board.

"Ah was not gonna let any single one of those bastards live!" He said as he watched the remaining of the Eclector explode.

"I already put the coordinates to Ego and we're going to make the jumps straight." Rocket said.

"ARE YOU NUTS!?" The Ravager trio yelled.

Yondu frowned. "Do you realize how many jumps away that is!?"

"200, last time I checked.

"IT'S 700!"
