"!" Quill watched in horror as the only connection to his deceased mother was destroyed before his very eyes.
As the broken bits and pieces of his Walkman fell from Ego's hand and disappeared down the large hole that swallowed up the Guardians only moments ago, Quill's eyelids began to droop downward as he found himself getting lightheaded.
Up to this moment, Ego hasn't released or eased his grip on his son's neck, so the lack of oxygen was seriously starting to become a real problem.
And just as Quill was about to pass out, a voice shouted from the entrance of the palace.
"Hey, there, jackass!"
Instantly, the sound of heavy gunfire filled the area as a hail of energy bolts of all sizes and colors shot across the room.
"?!" Ego turned just in time for the barrage of gunfire to collide with his body, tearing it apart and revealing the blue ghostly figure underneath once again.
And soon enough, the rain of blaster bolts collided with his outstretched arm, tearing it off and releasing Quill, who immediately plummeted down toward the dark hole below whilst simultaneously gasping for air.
*Whistle*
A whistling sound filled the air as a blue figure flew across the spacious hall, hanging by the glowing arrow in his hand.
"I got yah." Yondu said reassuringly as he caught Quill with his free hand and slowly descended back toward his men, who never stopped shooting at Ego.
"Haha!" After realizing what happened and catching his breath, Quill couldn't stop himself from laughing.
"What?" Yondu asked in confusion as he held his arrow above his head.
"You look like Mary Poppins." Quill commented jokingly.
"Is he cool?" Yondu asked hopefully.
Quill couldn't help but smirk, as he found Yondu's cluelessness both funny and endearing at the same time.
"Hell yeah, he's cool." He nodded with a warm smile.
"I'M MARY POPPINS, Y'ALL!" Yondu yelled proudly.
(A/N: I had to add that. It's one of my favorite scenes in MCU.)
"You guys figure out why Ego wants you here?" Yondu asks as they land near the other Ravagers, who still haven't ceased firing at Quill's father.
Meanwhile, Ego was constantly growing his body back whilst taking what's seemed like an unending amount of damage.
If they planned to buy some time, then it was working, but sadly, they wouldn't be doing much else.
"Something about my genetic connection to this light thing. He basically wants to destroy the universe." Quill says with an unknowing shrug. "He mind-controlled me for a minute and showed me how to control it."
"So, could you?" Yondu asked curiously.
*heavy breathing*
Quill descended to the ground tiredly as he stood over his father's beaten body.
"!?" Suddenly, Ego's eyes shot open as he started to panic out of nowhere.
"What's happening?!" He shouted like a madman as he scrambled to his feet. "I don't... We need to stop it. Stop. Stop. Listen to me! Don't let him do it!"
Quill watched in shock as his father's body began to crumble like sand.
"NO!" Ego bellowed one last time as his form collapsed into a pile of mushy sand.
Not even the blue ghostly figure of his father was left behind...
Although he had some questions, Quill quickly remembered something as he turned and rushed across the rubble-filled hall.
"YONDU!" Quill yelled in worry as he rushed toward his adoptive father. "No... No!"
As he dropped to his knees at Yondu's side, he couldn't tear his eyes away from the gaping hole in his chest, which was leaking blood like crazy.
Opposite to Quill's, who was on the verge of tears, Yondu smiled upward.
"What are you crying for, boy?... Quit being a p*ssy..." He spoke weakly.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Quill lashed out as he quickly pulled off his coat and covered Yondu's wound.
"That ain't gonna do much..." Yondu laughed lightly as he turned his head to see the pile that once was Ego. "You know... he may have been your father, boy... but he wasn't your daddy... I'm sorry I didn't do none of it right... I'm damn lucky you're my boy."
"NO!" Quill screamed as tears fell from his eyes.
He watched as the light slowly draining from Yondu's eyes could do nothing about it...
"NO! NOOOOO!" Quill screamed and cried as he applied pressure to the wound.
...
"What the hell are you screaming about?" A voice spoke from behind.
Turning around, Quill watched as Peter casually stepped out of a golden portal with Groot on his shoulder as usual.
"Captain..." Yondu uttered, though it was getting hard for him to speak at this point.
"Yondu... He..." Quill tried to speak but the words wouldn't leave his mouth.
"Huh? Oh... Don't worry. I got this." Peter said without worry as he waved his hand.
Suddenly, a golden spell circle appeared above Yondu's bloody body.
"There, all better." Peter shrugged as his newest crew member started to heal at a visible pace.
"..." Quill watched in awe as signs of life returned to his Daddy's face. "Thank you..."
Quill sniffled as he wiped his tears away.
"No problem." Peter said as he rested a hand on his Vice Captain's shoulder. "What kind of Captain would I be if I let my men die so easily? After all, you have a long life of grunt work ahead of you."
A/N: 1463 words :) I was thinking about doing a cliffhanger for Yondu's possible death, but I thought that might be a bit cruel of me.
