"After all, you abandoned the family that you claimed to love. You weren't there so how did you know?" Peter's words seemed to strike a major nerve in Quill's father.

Though instead of shouting, attacking, or even refuting Peter's claims, Ego reigned himself in and turned to his son.

"Over the millions and millions of years of my existence, I've made many mistakes..." He says as he steps forward and grabs Quill by the hands.

As soon as their hands met, Quill's eyes went wide as they glazed over with the image of a starry night sky.

"Please give me the chance to be the father that your mother would have wanted me to be. There's so much that I need to teach you about this planet and the light within. They are a part of you, Peter."

"What do you mean? What's happening..." Quill asked in awe of what he was seeing.

Sort of like a dumbed down version of the 'Open your mind' thing that Peter went through, Quill's sight was thrown across the universe and into infinity and beyond.

(A/N: - Buzz Lightyear)

"Hey! What are you doing to him?!" Gamora exclaimed as she drew her knives and stepped forward.

And she wasn't the only one.

Everyone drew their weapons and were just about to pounce on Ego, but before they could...

"Don't interfere." Peter spoke up.

"But-" Surprisingly, Rocket was the first to object, as he glanced worriedly at Quill, who looked like a zombie at the moment.

"Just wait a minute." Peter tried to sound reassuring, though they still looked antsy about the whole situation. "I'll interfere if it gets out of hand, but for now let's just watch."

'Come on, help Quill activate his powers already...' Peter thought impatiently.

As they heeded Peter's words, Ego took the opportunity he was given and got right back to work.

"Now, you need to readjust the way you process life. Everything around us, including your friends, are temporary. Only we are forever." Ego explains as he gives the Guardians a sideways glare.

"..." The crew glares back as they wait for Peter to say the word, so they can attack.

Meanwhile, Mantis stood off to the side without a clue as to what she should be doing.

"I told you how all those years ago I had an unceasing impulse to find life. But what I did not tell you was that, when I finally did find it, it was all so... disappointing. And that is when I came to a profound realization. My innate desire to seek out other life was not so that I could walk among that life. Son, I have found meaning. Meaning for the both of us!"

"Both of us..." Quill repeated back in his dazed state with the infinity of space still flashing over his eyes.

"I did. My river lily who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. She was a sight to behold..." Ego said with a far off reminiscent look in his eyes. "I returned to Earth to see her three times, and I knew that if I returned a fourth, then I'd never leave."

Soon enough, that far-off look resembling a mourning man looking back on his long-lost love disappeared, and a resigned almost uncaring expression took its place.

"The Expansion... The reason for my very existence would be over. So, I did what I had to do." Ego said as a melancholy frown flashed onto his face for a brief moment. "But, it truly broke my heart to put that tumor in her head..."

"...what?" Quill sobered up in an instant as his eyes returned to normal.

The murderous look he sent his father would send lesser men fleeing in fear.

"Now, now, all right..." Ego holds up his hands, as he knew that was something he shouldn't have revealed. "I know that sounds bad-"

*pewpewpewpewpew...*

Without a second of hesitation, Quill pulled his pistols and opened fire on his father in a silent fit of rage.

With each shot, parts of Ego's body disintegrated, revealing a ghostly blue figure underneath.

"Haha! Are we finally shooting?!" Rocket yelled happily as he pumped his large cannon-like blaster and joined Quill.

Though when the shooting died down...

"Who..." Ego muttered in shock though he soon snapped out of it. "WHO IN THE HELL do you think you are!?"

"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!" Quill yelled in a furious rage as the Guardians formed up behind him, ready for battle.

Of course, Peter didn't stop them this time. He already got what he wanted.

"You know, I tried so hard to find the form that best suited you..." Ego says as he heals himself in a matter of seconds. "...and this is the thanks I get? You really need to grow up!"

'Dude, you just admitted to killing his mom...' Peter rolls his eyes at Ego's behavior. 'Don't act like you're the victim.'

"I wanted to do this together." Ego laments as he sends his son a deadly glare. "But, I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next thousand years as a battery!"

Without hesitation or sympathy for his own son, Ego whips a hand forward and shoots out a tentacle of blue energy, aimed right at Quill's chest.

"!" Quill and the Guardians saw the attack coming but none of them were fast enough to do anything about it.

Except...

*Slap!*

Appearing in front of his Vice Captain, Peter wound his hand back and swatted the blue tentacle aside like a true Chinese Young Master from a novel.

(A/N: You do not give this Young Master face? [Slap!] You did not see Mount Tai? [Slap] Courting death? [Slap!] I'm your Grandfather! [Slap] Dare to covet my harem of fairies? [Slap] | Okay... I may have gotten carried away...)

As the ethereal energy tentacle crashed into the monitor, which exploded into sparks and flickered off, Peter and Ego eyed one another dangerously.

"Only one person is allowed to beat my Vice Captain and that's his Daddy." Peter says with a smirk under his mask. "And since Yondu ain't here right now, I'll have to whoop your a*s in his place."
