Upon hearing Peter's challenging words, Ego's face hardened as he looked his opponent up and down.
“Kid, just because you could go toe to toe with the Mad Titan doesn’t means you can fight me.” Ego scoffed incredulously. “I’m on a whole other level compared to that purple annoyance. I am a G-”
“Yeah, we get it. You're a god. How can I kill a god?” Peter interrupter sarcastically as he brought his hand to his chin in thought. “Oh, wait... You already told us, didn’t you?”
(A/N: Dagothwave played in my head when I wrote that.)
As Peter finished speaking, he waved his hand and opened a portal on the floor between them, revealing a huge brain trapped inside a cramped cave.
The brain pulsed physically and luminously as it filled the cave with a dull blue light.
“!” Egos eyes widened as he stared down at his own brain.
“What the hell is that?!” Rocket shouts in both disgust and curiosity.
“I am Groot?” Groot questioned.
“Is that?” Quill uttered in shock.
“It’s his brain...” Gamora revealed.
“It’s beautiful...” Drax admitted in awe.
“?” Every Guardian turned to Drax in confusion.
Meanwhile, Mantis looked down at her master's brain, completely shocked by the scene though she had no idea what to do with herself.
“You shouldn’t have given us that whole welcome introduction.” Peter says with a shake of his head as Ego stood stunned across from him. “I mean, come on. Who would give a whole presentation about how to kill them? I guess that your name isn’t just for show. You really do have a big ego, don’t you?”
“Wait! Let’s not be too hasty.” Ego’s earlier haughty attitude completely disappeared.
“I don't think it was us that were the ones being hasty.” Peter says as he snapped his fingers. “Sadly, I can't kill you or else my Vice Captain will lose his new Celestial powers so instead let’s do this...”
Suddenly, a giant metal cube appeared above Ego’s head.
“Huh?” The Celestial grunted in confusion before the cube fell on his head.
*Splat... Squish...*
The impact of the giant cube flattened Ego’s human figure in an instant, swiftly turning him into a puddle of blood and meat paste.
“Is he dead?” Rocket asks dumbly.
“Nope, all that did was make him angry.” Peter turned to his crew as the brain below began to wriggle and pulse in fury. “I’ll figure out how to deal with this.”
Peter points to the brain as Ego's avatar begins to reform behind him. Though this time instead of the handsome fatherly figure that he originally showed, Ego now looked quite horrifying.
He wasn’t able to reform his body just yet, so he appeared as a giant ghostly blue figure, like some sort of angry poltergeist.
“All you guys have to do is distract Quill's dad.” Peter says as if it were the easiest job in the world.
Meanwhile, Ego floated menacingly behind him.
“””What?!””” The Guardians shouted.
“Good luck and don’t die!” Peter waved cheerfully as he hopped backward and fell into the portal.
“Aaarrgghh!” Ego’s deep scream shook the palace as he quickly scrambled to grab Peter.
*swoosh*
Sadly for him, the golden portal swiftly snapped itself shut as his hand crashed into the palace floor, cracking it in half with ease.
“No!” Ego bellowed as he tried I run off to catch up to Peter but...
*Boom!*
Just as he was about to fly out of the palace, a small object flew into his path and exploded, momentarily dispersing the blue energy of his body.
“Hehe, I knew bringing those bombs would come in handy...” Rocket smirked as he held another two similar explosives in hand.
As he spoke, Ego began to reform yet again, though this time he took the time to create his fleshy body as well.
“Son, I know your upset with me, but we can’t allow your friend to meddle with my brain. I’m your father, Peter(Quill). Don’t just abandon me over some past mistakes and a simple disagreement.” Ego's voice sounded warped as he slowly regrew his entire body, floating only a few meters away.
“You killed my mother...” Quill stared firmly.
“Soon enough, the two of us will be all there is so why must you think like a human? You're a god! Act like it!” Ego countered as the palace began to quake showing his unending fury.
And as the Guardians tried to stabilize themselves through the shaking, Ego dashed over in an instant and grabbed his son by the neck, lifting him high into the air.
“Peter(Quill)!” Gamora screamed as the palace floor collapsed, sending her and the other Guardians tumbling down into a dark pit.
“I told you... I don’t want to do this alone. You cannot deny the purpose that the universe has bestowed upon us.” Ego preaches as he squeezed down on Quill's neck. ”It doesn’t need to be like this. Why are you trying to destroy our chance?”
“Aaah... Kah...” Quill clawed at his father's outstretched arm as he choked for air.
“Stop pretending that you aren’t what you are. One in billions. Trillions. Even more. What greater meaning can life possibly have to offer?” Ego asked as he peered downward and found his son's Walkman strapped to his waist as usual.
“Your mother gave you this, didn’t she?” Ego asked as he snatched it off of his belt and pressed play.

“My life, my love, and my lady is the sea...” Ego muttered fondly before cruelly crushing the Walkman between his fingers.
“!” Quill's watched in horror as the only connection to his dead mother was destroyed before his very eyes.
————————————-
“Ahhhhh!” The sounds of screaming echoed in the air as Drax, Gamora, Mantis, and Rocket fell down a winding cavern.
Luckily, instead of free-falling to their inevitable deaths, they instead slid down a rough spiky cavernous slide, which cut them up on the way down.
...
After sliding for about a minute, the four of them crashed down into a cave that was thankfully illuminated by a small hole in the ceiling.
“Ugh...” The group groaned in pain as they picked themselves up.
“Is everyone alright?” Mantis asked worriedly as the Guardians turned to glare in her direction.
“Should we kill her?” Rocket spoke everyone else’s thoughts.
“No, we need her to guide us back to Quill.” Drax denied as he and everyone else watch Mantis cower away from their sharp glares.
“W-What is this place?” Gamora stuttered as her horrified eyes surveyed the cave.
“?!” Following her gaze, everyone’s eyes widened in shock at what they found.
The whole cave seemed to be filled with an uncountable number of skeletons. Some of the older ones seemed to be infused into the walls and entangled into the large roots of the planet, showing just how long they’ve been there.
“The bodies...” Mantis spoke in sadness as they all turned to her. “...are Masters children.”
Instantly, Yondu’s words wrang out in all of their minds.
‘I found a pit, filled with hundreds of skeletons... All of them kid-sized...’
“I think I’m going to puke...”
——————————————
Ascending down into the cave, Peter landed on the glowing brain with a wet squelch.
“Eww...” He groaned as he lifted his shoe, dragging along a thick layer of mucus that was now stuck to the bottom of the sole. “Luckily my suit cleans itself, or else I would have to scrub this off myself...”
Ignoring the brain buggers under his boots, Peter eyed the target below him as he pondered to himself.
‘How should I do this?’ Peter thought as he needed a way to either get Ego under control, trap him, or kill him whilst keeping the brain intact and alive.
After all, unlike the movie, Peter wants Quill to keep his powers after all of this.
And since he’s only half Celestial, Quill can’t produce his own Celestial energy or Light, as Ego would call it, so he has to piggyback off of his father's energy.
...
“...Let’s try that first.” Peter muttered after a moment of thought.
Thrusting both hands forward, Peter gripped the air as golden spell circles appeared in both hands.
Usually, he could do his spells without any sort of exaggerated movements, but this spell would take a bit more effort than the rest.
Each spell circle seemed to grow and twist as Peter turned his wrists in opposing directions.
“Hopefully this works...” Peter muttered as he slammed both glowing hands down on the brain below. ‘Eww... It’s in between my fingers...’
Peter winced as he felt Ego’s brain mucus stick itself to his once clean hands.
Meanwhile, the cave below lit up in a golden light as countless spell lines drew themselves along the huge brain and onto the hard rocky walls in its surroundings.
“I am Groot?” Peter could hear a small voice from his shoulder.
“?!” Peter nearly jumped as he turned to see Groot sitting on his shoulder. “Have you been here the whole time?”
