On board the Spaceship belonging to Star-Lord…
“Godfather, what should we do now? Should we fight back or continue to flee?” Tony’s expression was serious as he handed the decision-making power over to Kyle, the backbone of the team.
Quill and the others also looked to Kyle, knowing full well the man’s formidable abilities. However, they were now caught between the most powerful forces in the galaxy: the Nova Corps and Ronan’s fleet, closing in from both sides.
Kyle fell silent.
Flee?
Even if he managed to escape himself, there were too many people aboard the two Spaceship for him to evacuate everyone.
Fight back?
That would be a fight to the death. In the end, everyone aboard the two Spaceship, except for him, would likely perish. It wasn’t worth the risk…
“Wait a minute,” Kyle seemed to have an idea. He turned to Tony and instructed, “Have J.A.R.V.I.S. change the course of the spaceship. We’re heading back towards the prison, and inform the Hawk Spaceship with Vis to follow our lead.”
“Are we going back after just escaping?” Everyone was a bit puzzled by Kyle’s decision.
“Quill, I need your help with something,” Kyle squinted.
“What is it?” Quill nodded. In their current situation, they were all in the same boat.
“I need you to figure out a way to contact the Nova Corps here. Or contact the higher-ups in the Nova Corps and tell them that the human criminal who raided the prison yesterday is now offering a deal they can’t refuse,” Kyle pondered.
“This…” Quill hesitated while Rocket, standing beside him, sneered and said, “Leave it to me. I’ve got this!”
Following Kyle’s orders, the two Spaceship under attack abruptly changed course and flew back towards the Kyln Prison, one behind the other.
At the same time, both the Nova Corps and Ronan’s fleet received corresponding messages.
“Report to the commander, the escaped Spaceship has turned back, with another Spaceship following closely behind, heading towards our Spaceship. They’ve also sent a communication request!”
“All Nova Corps fighters, halt and remain on high alert. Let’s see what these criminals are up to!”
This was the online channel of the Nova Corps Spaceship. After the commander gave the order, thousands of Spaceship blinked with golden light as they hovered in the asteroid belt, waiting for the two Spaceship to enter their trap.
On the other side…
“Report to the commander, the target Spaceship has approached the Kyln Prison. Beyond that lies the Nova Corps’ space jurisdiction. Shall we continue pursuit?”
“Stay put for now, don’t act rashly. I’ll report to Ronan first and ask for his orders.”
This was the online channel of Ronan’s fleet. Equally massive black Spaceships floated in the lonely expanse of outer space, gazing across the asteroid belt at the Kyln Prison several thousand kilometers away.
The relationship between the Nova Corps and Ronan’s forces had long been fraught with tension. Today marked the first standoff between the two sides.
If not handled carefully, it could mark the beginning of a massive Interstellar war, a fact that any intelligent lifeform could understand.
The two Spaceship approached the Nova Corps Spaceship, hovering in the asteroid belt, and began docking their cabins together.
Inside one of the spaceships…
Lorna and Green had just arrived in the cockpit of Kyle’s Spaceship when they saw a genetically similar but distinct lifeform, resembling Calvin, pick up a communicator and address Kyle. “Success. The higher-ups of the Nova Corps are willing to have a video conversation with you.”
Kyle knew that the Nova Corps was unlikely to refuse. He was already seated and nodded to Rocket, signaling to open the video call.
Rocket manipulated the buttons, aiming the camera at Kyle, and a projection screen opened up.
In the center of the screen was a dignified Xandarian woman with white hair, accompanied by several men in uniforms who were obviously Nova Corps officers.
“Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Prime Minister representing Nova,” The Xandarian woman said with a smile.
“I’m Kyle, from Earth,” Kyle replied. The Nova Prime looked at him with astonishment and disbelief. “Earth, humans?”
The perception of Earth was not just limited to the Xandarians; in the entire civilization of the Galaxy, Earth was considered a remote and backward region, and humans were viewed as primitive beings.
“I think you are going to wanna see this?” Kyle smiled faintly and snapped his fingers lightly. Fusion energy surged, and colorful lights flashed between his fingers.
The Nova Prime’s face showed a hint of respect, and she smiled, “I believe, Mr. Kyle, there must be some misunderstanding between you and Xandar. What kind of cooperation do you want? Please, go ahead and explain.”
“Smart,” Kyle smiled and went straight to the point. “I know that your planet is hostile to Ronan, and unfortunately, so are we. So when I talk about cooperation, I mean that I will take care of Ronan.”
The Nova Prime trembled slightly, but before she could say anything, the Nova Corps officers behind her showed shocked expressions. In the Galaxy, few dared to provoke Ronan, let alone confront him alone.
But the man in front of them had recently shattered the defense network established by the Nova Corps, so maybe there was a possibility!
The Nova Prime stared at Kyle and said in a deep voice, “This deal is too big. What does Nova need to give in return?”
“It’s simple,” Kyle raised his left hand and gestured towards Quill and the others beside him. “I have a few friends who are registered criminals in the Kyln Prison. I hope you can clear their records and offer them protection as important guests. I’ll take care of the rest myself.”
“Is that all?” The Nova Prime was deeply moved by Kyle’s unexpected proposal.
Kyle nodded gently. He had already deduced that there were no deep conflicts between him and Xandar. A simple arrest warrant could easily resolve the situation.
The Nova Prime nodded and said, “No problem, I promise you. Before you return, your friends will be treated as honored guests of Nova and protected by the entire Nova Corps.”
“Thank you. I hope they’ll be unharmed before I come back, or Xandar will feel my wrath.” Kyle said calmly before ending the video call.
Shortly after, the alert Nova Corps fighters actively contacted the Spaceship where Kyle was located. The attitude of the Nova Corps officers had done a complete 180, respectfully inviting the two Spaceship to visit the Nova Capital.
“Tony, take care of Lorna. Quill, look after your team. Just relax and wait for me to come back.”
After giving instructions, Kyle, accompanied by Vis, went to the safety door at the rear compartment of the Spaceship.
“Boss, please be careful!” Lorna expressed her heartfelt concern.
“Don’t worry, I never do anything I am not 100% sure about!” Kyle said confidently, closing the door and opening the rear compartment door.
Exposed to the fierce and cold of outer space, Kyle instinctively activated the fusion energy, and brilliant and scorching lights enveloped him.
“I’m going.”
Surrounded by fusion energy, Kyle turned into a streak of light, breaking through the asteroid belt along the way, like a shooting star shooting toward Ronan’s distant Spaceship.
