Ego Part 1

//

The spaceship of the Guardians of the Galaxy had been following the trail of the herald of fire and they arrived at the sector where he decided to rest.

"That bastard sure is slippery" Hela said coldly looking at the planet in front of her.

Just as she was going to continue talking to enter the planet, she frowns as she felt uncomfortable with the planet, as if someone was watching her.

Captain Marvel beside her is also frowning, with their current power levels it's normal for both of them to notice that.

And Legion, who was silent, also moves.

"I am detecting a very powerful energy source coming from the interior of the planet in front of us" the Sentinel said.

This gets the group's attention and makes Hela and Captain more alert.

"Isn't that the herald we seek?" Peter Quill asked confused.

"No, our target is on this planet but does not own that energy" the Sentinel replied as his eyes gleamed.

"This planet doesn't look normal" Gamora said with a serious expression.

"I am Groot" Groot said as he continued playing with his Gameboy.

"Drop that, it will burn your brain... but you're right, we don't know if that guy will do anything wrong on this planet so we have to do something about that guy" Rocket said looking at the gun in his hands.

"This is not simple. This sector of this solar system is not found in any Shi'ar, Xandar or Kree records. According to reports, these planets are not capable of producing life, much less have special energy sources" Gamora replied looking at the spaceship logs and frowned.

"How's the herald's energy signal?" Gamora asked the Sentinel.

"...His energy trace is minor, according to my calculations, he couldn't recover his energy or something external is preventing him from recovering" the Sentinel said analyzing the situation of the herald's energy.

Hearing its words, all the Guardians of the Galaxy fall silent and Hela shows a cold smile.

The planet in front of them is not normal, after all «something» in that place managed to suppress the herald and according to the report of the Sentinel of that planet, it is that there is a strange energy inside it.

"Completely analyze the energy of the planet and tell me its structure" Captain asked the Sentinel.

"...The energy source is Cosmic Energy that feeds the planet and sustains it, thus managing to maintain its shape" the Sentinel replied.

"...This planet is fake" Gamora said in surprise and became alert, looking at the planet suspiciously.

The others are also surprised by the information and look at the planet solemnly.

"Hahaha, that herald is an idiot, he almost dragged us down with his stupidity" Hela commented with a cold smile.

"So what do we do now?" Peter Quill asked confused.

"We must go and report this strange planet. Besides, our target, the herald, will no longer be able to escape this planet" Gamora said without changing her expression as she walked towards the controls.

Hela and the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy did not complain and accepted her decision.

They were not stupid, they knew that there was something very dangerous unknown in that place.

Just as they were about to leave, Hela and Captain changed their expressions and when they went to warn the group, it was already too late.

They felt a strong pull from the planet and the spaceship they were in stopped and began to enter the planet.

Gamora did not hesitate and activated the thrusters at maximum power, with that they began a tug of war with the planet.

But seconds later, great pillars of earth, as if they were snakes, headed towards the spaceship and surrounded it, pressing it.

The spaceship began to show ruptures but the Legion Sentinel activated its magnetic ability and prevented the destruction of the spaceship.

But even though they were safe for the moment, the Guardians of the Galaxy did not let their guard down.

At that moment, they saw a strange change in the surface of the planet, as what looked like a human face was formed, which was looking at them.

"Ego the Living Planet" Hela muttered coldly and everyone listened to her words.

"Do you know this thing?" Captain asked with a frown.

"Yeah, it's just that it's been a long time since I heard of him, that's why I didn't remember him" Hela answered calmly as she stared at Ego's face.

"Well, since you know who he is, do you think you could tell him to let us go?" Peter Quill asked hopefully.

"Fool, don't you notice that guy's great killing intent? The bastard has no intention of letting us go" Hela answered mocking Peter Quill.

The latter is speechless.

Hela continues:

"Since things have gotten to this point, we can only fight or else we'll lose our only transport"

Finishing speaking, Hela gently strokes her hair with her hands, making her iconic helmet appear.

In her hands appear two swords.

Captain Marvel's body releases a powerful glow.

The others put on their protective suits and arm themselves.

"This battle will be our victory" Drax said with a serious expression.

"I think so too, especially with these new toys" Rocket said patting the gun in his hands.

"I am Groot" Groot said with a nod.

Nodding her head, Gamora stopped struggling and let her spaceship be dragged through the living planet.

Gamora stood up and touched Legion's chest, which melted and transformed into armor that covered the woman's body.

Hela's eyes shone with astonishment as she sensed a great deal of danger coming from Gamora at this moment.

In the beginning, the robot was already strong but she never expected that its second form would be more dangerous.

But that put a smile on her face as she made the decision to follow them and not attack them when she met them.

Besides, she found this group interesting.

Without saying anything, they stood alert as they entered the living planet.
