Battle of Xandar Part 2

I don't own Digimon or Guardians of the Galaxy

Outside the Dark Aster, Rocket positioned his ship above the water. "Everybody shoot them before they hit the ground," he ordered the Ravagers tilting his ship up before he began firing its weapons at the dive-bombing Necrocraft, the other Ravagers joined him to protect the city from further destruction.

Above in the Dark Aster, Ronan walked towards the viewing window as it opened. "Xandar. You stand accused. Your wretched peace treaty will not save you now. It is the tinder on which you burn." He held his hammer up and fired a purple energy beam at the Nova Corps ships in front of him and they blew up, the Dark Aster then began pushing forwards harder crushing the rest of the ships slowly.

"Argh! Rocket!" Denarian Saal shouted as he was slowly crushed inside his ship.

"Hold on, Saal. Just…" Rocket stopped when he heard Saal's scream and saw the remainder of the Nova Corps ships explode and he sighed. "Daisuke, you have to hurry. The city's been evacuated, but we're getting our asses kicked down here." he told her.

"Just keep it up a little bit longer Rocket. Sylar hasn't deactivated the security doors yet," Daisuke replied as she, Drax, Groot and Flamedramon arrived at the security door leading to the bridge and took out the Sakaarans guarding it. "Sylar, what's taking so long?" she asked.

Sylar and Nebula meanwhile continued their battle, Sylar withdrew his sword and began blocking Nebula's baton with the sword absorbing the electrical current. "My sister's being difficult!" he replied kicking Nebula in the gut, Nebula combined her batons into a single staff and continued fighting her brother before knocking his sword out of his hands. She then thrust her staff into his gut and he screamed as electricity coursed through his body.

He reached for the pistol Daisuke had given him and she fired it at his sister hitting her in the stomach and she was thrown out of a hole in the side of the ship that had been caused when Ronan destroyed the Nova Corps blockade. Her hand was caught on a piece of metal and she saw Sylar standing over her.

"Nebula, give me your hand. Help us fight Ronan, you know he's crazy." He said.

"I know you're both crazy," Nebula replied before she cut her hand off and fell before landing on a Ravager ship by sheer luck. "Get out!" she screamed smashing the window and she tossed the pilot out and flew off.

"Sylar, what's happening?" Daisuke asked as she equipped the Hadron Enforcer waiting for the door to open.

"Nebula's gone. But we'll see her again, I'm disabling the door." He answered picking up a Sakaaran gun before smashing the device powering the doors before he ripped out a few wires opening the door for the others. He then blasted a hole in the roof and jumped up and killed on of the Sakaaran guards while Drax stabbed the other with his blades. Daisuke stood in front of them and aimed the Hardon Enforcer at Ronan who turned around and looked at the group.

"See ya!" Daisuke fired the Hadron Enforcer at Ronan and it was a direct hit engulfing him in the explosion and filling the area with smoke.

"You did it!" Drax exclaimed joyfully and Daisuke removed her helmet and looked at Flamedramon and Sylar who smiled slightly. However, they heard something and looked back to see Ronan getting back to his feet completely unharmed from the attack.

"I knew this wouldn't be easy," Sylar grumbled as Ronan held his hammer up and a shockwave knocked everyone off their feet. Drax was the first back up and he charged Ronan only to be grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground.

"I was mistaken. I do remember your family. Their screams were pitiful. I…" Ronan looked up to see Rocket fly his ship into the Dark Aster and it crashed into Ronan and skid through the flight deck, Daisuke tackled Groot to the ground as the ship crashed into the wall behind them and the Dark Aster began rapidly descending to the ground.

"Okay, let's not do that again," Sylar grumbled getting to his feet before running to the ship and he pulled Rocket out of the cockpit and held the unconscious racoon in his arms, Daisuke and Flamedramon pulled Drax towards Groot and they all looked around as the ship began falling apart around them.

"So…is this how things end?" Daisuke asked softly looking at the others.

"I am Groot." Groot answered holding his arms out and branches slowly began growing from his body and wrapping around everyone in a ball.

"What's he doing?" Flamedramon asked softly.

"I think he's protecting us," Sylar answered, Rocket groaned and opened his eyes and saw what was happening and he looked at his friend who smiled at him.

"No. Groot…you can't. You'll die." Rocket said grabbing Groot's shoulders as a small branch wiped away a tear that was falling down his face. "Why are you doing this?"

"We…are…Groot." Groot answered, the Dark Aster suddenly crash landed in the city and skid to a stop.

As the dust settled around the crash site, Daisuke, Sylar, Rocket, Drax and Flamedramon who turned back into Veemon were alive but Groot was nowhere to be seen. "Ow," Daisuke groaned weakly slowly getting to her feet her face now covered in cuts and blood with the others also with similar injuries.

"I called him an idiot," Rocket whispered as he held a twig in his hands as bystanders who also avoided being killed by the crash began to gather slowly. The people of Xandar looked at the destruction before they gasped as Ronan emerged unharmed from the wreckage and the team looked at him. "You killed Groot!" Rocket shouted charging the Kree before he was thrown away by a wave of Ronan's hammer and he landed beside the Hadron Enforcer and he looked at it before crawling over and he began to repair it.

"Behold. Your Guardians of the Galaxy! What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall finally know vengeance. People of Xandar the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand." Ronan shouted lifting his hammer and he began shouting in his native language. Before he could slam it into the ground he was blinded by a golden light that began to emanate from Daisuke's hands and it formed the Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles.

"This is not over Ronan. I thought I wouldn't have to use this, but you leave me no choice. Veemon!" she shouted and her partner jumped to his feet and nodded and began running towards Ronan. "Golden Armour Energise!" she shouted as the Golden Digi-Egg began glowing as did Veemon.

"Veemon Golden Armour Digivolve too…Magnamon!" he shouted turning into his Royal Knight form and his armour glowed golden making the people of Xandar and the rest of Daisuke's team look up in awe, Ronan however looked at the Digimon in horror.

"No…it cannot be…" he whispered.

"What? Did you really think we didn't have a backup plan if everything else didn't work?" Magnamon asked with a smug tone and Ronan roared swinging his hammer at Magnamon who caught it with ease and he kicked the Kree back before charging him. "Magna Punch!" he shouted hitting Ronan with a powerful punch in the jaw sending him across the ground. "Magna Kick!" he then kicked the Kree as he tried to get back to his feet sending him flying into the wreckage of the Dark Aster.

"Keep going Magnamon don't let him recover and hit the ground with the hammer!" Daisuke told her partner who nodded as he dodged a purple energy blast from Ronan's hammer.

"Magna Blast!" he shouted firing gold energy blasts from his armour at Ronan making him scream as he was hit.

"Daisuke!" Rocket shouted and she turned to see Drax putting on the Hadron Enforcer and she nodded.

"Magnamon bring him this way!" she told her partner who nodded and flew towards Ronan and kicked him in the back and he slid across the ground, he groaned as he pulled himself to his feet.

"You…how…how can this be possible? I wield the Infinity Stone…nothing can match its power…" he said before seeing Daisuke's eye flashing gold. "No…Thanos was right?" he whispered.

"It's over Ronan," Daisuke said and Ronan growled.

"It's only over when I say it is over!" he shouted, he lifted his hammer into the air intending to slam it down on the ground and destroy the entire planet. He stopped however, when he heard a click and turned to Drax and Rocket who connected two wires together and the Hadron Enforcer fired at the hammer and destroyed it causing the Infinity Stone to float in the air.

"I'll take that," Daisuke said as she caught the Infinity Stone in her hand.

"No!" Sylar shouted before he and the others were blown off their feet by the energy the stone gave off as Daisuke screamed as she felt her entire body burning in pain. She got back to her feet and grit her teeth as her skin began to crack and disintegrate as purple lines of energy began to cover her body as well. "Daisuke!" Sylar shouted slowly walking towards her. "Take my hand!" he shouted and she looked at his outstretched hand.

"Sylar…" she said before she took his hand and Sylar began screaming as the power of the Infinity Stone began to course through his body as well. Ronan looked on in growing terror as he saw Magnamon fly over and place his hand on Daisuke's shoulder and he began screaming as well as his armour began flashing gold and purple. Drax slowly made his way towards his friends and placed his hand on Magnamon's shoulder and he also screamed his scars beginning to glow purple, Rocket grabbed Drax's finger and gasped as the energy hit him as well but instead of them all being destroyed, they managed to control the power.

"You're mortal! How!?" Ronan demanded.

"You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy," Daisuke said opening her hand which held the Infinity Stone and she unleashed its power upon Ronan who was lifted off his feet as his body began glowing purple and he screamed before exploding leaving nothing of the Kree Warlord. Sylar grunted and slammed the containment orb on the stone and the cloud of energy surrounding the team vanished and they all panted.

"Oh man…did that just happen?" Rocket whispered as Magnamon glowed and turned into Demi-Veemon who groaned and laid down exhausted.

"Yeah…let's not do that again," he said cutely.

"Agreed," Drax said.

"Well, that was quite the light show," Daisuke turned and saw Yondu and the other Ravagers walking towards them. "Ain't this sweet. But you got something you promised me Daisuke." He said walking over. "Hand it over before you start with the nookie-nookie."

"The one time I was hoping you'd forget," Daisuke muttered making Yondu smile.

"Daisuke…you can't," Sylar told her.

"Yondu whoever you're selling this thing too…you know it's not the right thing to do." Daisuke said and Yondu sighed.

"I may be as pretty as an angel, but I sure as hell ain't one. I won't ask again." he replied showing his arrow and he was about to whistle before Daisuke handed him the orb reluctantly and he chuckled and signalled for the Ravagers to leave.

"You do know not to open that orb right?" Daisuke asked him. "You've seen what it does to people." Yondu nodded and walked off with Kraglin and the rest of the Ravagers.

"You know she swapped the orbs on you right?" Kraglin whispered once they were out of earshot and Yondu smiled.

"Yep. I taught that girl well." He replied as they boarded a ship and left.

"I know one thing is for sure. He's going to be so mad when we meet next time," Daisuke said as she held up the orb that held the Infinity Stone in it and Sylar smiled.

"He was going to kill you," he said.

"No, he wasn't. He may look like someone who'd kill you for blinking at him, but he really was the only family I ever had once I left Earth." Daisuke said gently before Sylar kissed her on the lips gently.

"Well, not anymore." He said and Daisuke blushed and smiled, Demi-Veemon giggled at the display of affection before he heard Rocket sobbing while holding a twig that was all that was left of Groot and he hopped over as Drax sat beside the racoon holding his ribs.

"Don't be sad, Rocket. He saved us all. I think he wanted it this way," Demi-Veemon told him as he climbed into Drax's lap and giggled as Drax began to pet Rocket who tensed up before he sighed.

"If you tell anyone about this…" he said.

"We don't," Demi-Veemon chirped.

Not long after the battle, and once their injuries were healed, the newly named Guardians of the Galaxy were in the Nova Corps headquarters with Nova Prime and Rhomann Dey. "Why would you even know this?" Daisuke asked looking at a hologram of her body which had a golden orb in the centre of it.

"When we arrested you, we discovered an anomaly in your body. We had it checked out, but we assume that it was what you displayed against Ronan when you helped your buddy transform." Rhomann Dey answered as Daisuke held Demi-Veemon in her arms.

"I have had it since I was a kid," Daisuke said.

"It must be why you were able to hold the Infinity Stone for as long as you did," Sylar said now back in his normal clothes and Daisuke nodded.

"Your friends have arrived," Nova Prime said as Drax and Rocket entered the room. "On behalf of the Nova Corps, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for your help in saving Xandar. If you will follow Denarian Dey he has something to show you." She said with a smile to the team.

"Thank you, Nova Prime," Daisuke said respectfully nodding her head slightly before walking off with Sylar who fell into step beside Drax.

"Your wife and child shall rest well knowing that you have avenged them." he said.

"Yes. Of course, Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos I need to kill," Drax told him and Sylar shook his head in disbelief but he still smiled. The team followed Denarian Dey outside to a landing pad and Daisuke and Demi-Veemon's eyes lit up as they saw the Milano fully repaired.

"We tried to keep it as close to the original as possible, we salvaged what we could." He explained.

"Wow…thank you," Daisuke said and he nodded.

"I have a family. They're alive because of you," Denarian Dey said. "Your criminal records have also been expunged, however I do have to warn you about breaking any laws in the future." He told them.

"Question, what if I see something and take it but it belongs to someone else?" Rocket asked him.

"That would be stealing, and you would be arrested," Denarian Dey answered.

"But what if I want it more than the person who has it?" Rocket asked.

"That's still illegal," Denarian Dey answered.

"You don't understand sir, I want it more than he does." Rocket said as the others chuckled and Rocket grinned. "What're you all laughing about?" he asked walking to the Milano with Sylar.

"What if someone does something irksome, and I decide to remove his spine?" Drax asked Denarian Dey.

"That actually would be murder. It's one of the worst crimes of all. So also…illegal," he answered and Drax nodded and walked towards the Milano.

"Don't worry about them Dey, we'll keep an eye on them," Daisuke told him with a smile.

"You?" he asked and Daisuke and Demi-Veemon grinned.

"Us." They answered catching up to the others. Once inside the Milano, Daisuke found her crate with all her private stuff and she pulled out an old photograph of when she was younger with the other DigiDestined and she and Veemon were front and centre with Tai and Matt ruffling her hair and they were all smiling. She chuckled slightly at seeing her friends before she walked to a wall and hung it on a hook.

"Daisuke, I got the iPod set up with the speakers," Demi-Veemon chirped and Daisuke giggled and she chose and song and played it. She then turned to see Sylar standing nearby and he smiled and began dancing to the beat before he approached Daisuke and the two began dancing.

On the Eclector, the Ravagers were celebrating their victory getting drunk and falling over each other while Yondu sat in a chair. He opened the orb to reveal a gold locket, he opened the locket and smiled as he saw it contained a picture of himself, Daisuke and Veemon smiling.

On Xandar, Nova Prime placed the orb containing the Infinity Stone in the secure vault and she walked past four Nova Corps guards who saluted her and she nodded. Meanwhile Denarian Dey arrived at his home and walked inside as his daughter ran towards him and he picked her up before his wife embraced him and kissed his cheek happy to see him alive.

Back on the Milano, Daisuke sat down in the pilot chair beside Rocket who looked back at Drax and nodded and he nodded back before turning to a small pot of earth which held the stick he retrieved and it had grown two small arms and began reforming into Groot and he smiled, Sylar stood beside Daisuke holding Demi-Veemon in his arms and he smiled down at Daisuke.

"So, what should we do? Something good? Something bad? A bit of both?" Daisuke asked her team.

"We'll follow your lead, Star Princess." Sylar answered and she smiled.

"A bit of both." she said and the Milano flew off.

A few hours later, Drax was busy cleaning his blades as music played through the speakers and on the table behind him Groot who had grown a bit more began dancing to the music, Drax stopped cleaning his blades and looked at Groot who stopped dancing, Drax went back to cleaning his blades only to stop again as he looked at Groot again who had stopped dancing and he sighed before walking off leaving Groot to continue dancing to the music.

The End for now.

The Guardians of the Galaxy will return.
