All the good love when we're all alone, Keep it up girl! Yeah, you turn me on. -------------------- Quill laughed at the snarky comment from his green partner. He liked Thor but having him around definitely made him way more confident in calling himself Star-Lord. After all, it was hard to sound pompous when wandering around with a guy who called himself the God of Thunder.
The fact that the sobriquets didn't stop at that only made Peter feel like he had a perfectly measured sense of self.
Not letting himself get distracted by the perfect one-liner, her let Gamora charge in first before sprinting after her. Swapping out one of his Kree submachine guns with an element gun, he quickly aimed it ahead as he arrested his charge and slid down low on one knee. The grenade out, he let a hail of rocks fly from the barrel just in front of Gamora, slanting it so she would be protected from the blast while providing her with a perfect ramp to leap off of next time.
After all, girls love to leap.
At least in Star-Lord's line of work.
As soon as it was constructed, he rolled back onto his feet, nary a sign of lost momentum as he continued his rush forward.
"Hey, Rocket, what's that thing you love to say?"

Rocket let out a cheesy grin as Quill asked him what it was he always says.
"I believe what you are referring to is.... BLAM! MURDERED YA!"
He said with a laugh. It's no secret that Rocket loves what he does... Shooting guns and explosions everywhere? It's safe to say he's like a kid in a candy store. He kept on firing flanking everyone else as he flew around.
"Hey Quill I packed a portable gravity barrier... Think that could buy us some time?"
He said reaching into his artillery bag. With Rocket you never know what he might pull out of that thing.
"Now where did I pack that stupid thing..."
He mumbled as a shot screeched past his head barely grazing his fur.
"EXCUSE YOU!!!!!"
Rocket yelled shooting the Skrull dead.
"Now that was just rude!!!"
Rocket yelled as he pulls out the field.
"Send me the coordinates to where you want me to park this bad boy!"
Rocket said armed and ready to deploy the barrier.

The remaining Skrulls stood pretending to be brave, they were currently distracted by Thor and to be honest, if the leader had not been so terrified of the god he would've rolled his eyes at Thor's response. Instead he pointed out the others who were currently attempting to break through the door, but he was too late as one of them tossed a grenade and the door exploded, taking him and some of the others with it. The few that were left were shocked and didn't know what to do, but after a few seconds they drew their guns and began firing on the invaders. No talk, now they were all business. One of the survivors slipped inside the prison, taking up a spot far enough down so he wouldn't be shot right away, yet close enough so he could help defend the prison. They had no idea who the invaders were after, but given that they'd directly attacked the prison had to mean something.

There was little real resistance left, and it seemed that Gamora and Star-Lord could almost certainly handle it on their own, but Thor was not going to lose resolve at this stage of the mission. He strode forwards, not scared of the punier weapons of these guards. Their guns were only for putting down escape attempts from prisoners, after all. It was only the soldiers outside that had weapons to face bigger threats. By not taking cover, it meant a lot of fire was directed his way, which suited him fine. A few did manage to score hits on his armour, barely even breaking his stride. The next one was blocked by Mjolnir, and he quickly swung the hammer round to return the energy blast, greatly amplified, taking out the guard who had fired it at him. Was this an inefficient way of dealing with the guards? Most certainly, but that wasn't Thor's plan. He was getting their attention, making sure they focused on him, rather than the far more easily killed others of the group.
Meanwhile, he was focusing on Mjolnir again, trying to sense any more human souls nearby. As yet he was only getting a vague sense of a presence, but it would surely become easier to pinpoint as time went on. Of course, as time went on, the remaining soldiers began to coordinate their fire a little more on Thor, meaning he had to actually start defending himself properly, but that still meant it was him being shot at, rather than the others.

_____________________________________________
Gamora felt confident as her grenade exploded within the prison hall that few of the guards who were positioned there would remain. Some would, however, and those that did not die immediately were likely to utilize their dying actions to enact revenge on those who attacked them. Very little of anyone's efforts at the end of their life while in battle were honestly performed for king and country. Most were done out of spite if done at all, which often meant suicide moves were to be anticipated becvause people intent on revenge were unreasonable and often illogical. Noting, however, that Peter had built a sort of rocky hill between she and the entrance allowed Gamora a vantage point through which to enter that would provide her views of the scene less obscured by fallen debris.
Nodding at Star-Lord an acknowledgment of gratitude for his foresight, Gamora got to her feet and, with guns drawn, ran up the rocky ramp and leaped into the fray. Beams of light were flying past beneath her feet as she rose into the air, weapon's fire that would have been aimed at an intruder on the ground. In their delay to catch up to Gamora's flight through the air toward them, the guards were unable to counter her assault with anything more than misaligned response. She picked them off: One. Two. Three. And before she landed on her feet into the hall filled with rubble and Skrull bodies, five of the remaining conscious and firing guards were subdued. One lay on the ground bleeding from a shot into his stomach, gasping for breath. Gamora looked on him with pity as he reached out for her then collapsed.
Looking around the entrance, Gamora said into the comms, "We're in." She then moved forward into the prison anticipating the others would soon be following.

All the good love when we're all alone, Keep it up girl! Yeah, you turn me on. -------------------- They were in.
Thor and Gamora had done most of the heavy lifting up to this point, but the next part was all Rocket.
Quill moved through and slipped his helmet off before setting it onto a console along the side of the hallway. It should be plugged directly into the control center so all Rocky had to do was hack through, access the prisoner database, and tell them where to go next.
"Hold off on the barrier. Might be good to have in a few minutes. For now, get us the cell number so we can go be big damn heroes." Swapping his element gun for the Kree weapon once more, he checked the clips on them. With any luck they would be on the move before they met more resistance so this was a good moment to breath. If not, they would need to hold this position until Rocket got what they needed.
Piece of cake.

And just like that they were in. Now it was time for Rocket to fly into action!
"Alright! Make way for the Rocket Man!"
He said as he flew into the prison following Gamora. Quill already set up his helmet.
"Alright boys and girls step aside! I'll take it from here! Just watch my back so that these stupid Skrulls don't get too froggy while I'm doing this!"
Rocket made himself comfortable in the computer chair and started typing away at the computer plugging in his flash drive over riding any security inputs required.
"Well this is interesting..."
Rocket said scratching his head.
"They have a firewall blocking my program..... I did not expect this..."
Rocket scrambled before reaching into his bag and pulling out a can of Intergalactic cola and downing it...
"Gonna have to make this work with me!"
He says before he starts kicking it into overdrive typing out more codes before the computer let him in.
"Bingo! Alright downloading everything to your helmet there Quill!"
Suddenly Rocket turned and fired a shot over Quill's right shoulder killing a guard rounding the corner...
"Score another one for Rocket Raccoon baby!"
He says as the program is almost done downloading.
"Say Quill this is a pretty comfy seat.... Think I can take this chair with me before we go?"

Several Skrulls died in the battle, with only a handful remaining. They were all gathered in the prison hallways, spread out in alcoves but that did not protect them. As Thor marched down the hallway, the Skrulls figured out which cell they were most likely heading toward and had to make a quick decision: to gather their tattered remains in front of the cell or to try and distract the invaders. Their leader was gone so they were unsure of what to do, and as the invaders managed to make quick work of their attempts to destroy them, their morale was almost gone. They backtracked from the main hallway, some ducking into empty prison cells to wait for a good chance to attack, while three of them gathered in front of the cell they were almost positive was the invaders' objective.
Bobbi on the other hand kept pounding on the door, pacing and hollering for help. Even if whoever was attacking weren't there for her, if she made enough noise they might realize that she's there and get through to her.

The few Skrulls left proved to be almost insignificant by this point. They were clearly unprepared to fend off an attack of this magnitude. Between his companions skill at arms and Thor's sheer power, there was little the Skrulls could do to so much as hinder them, at this point. As he began to get a better idea of where the human soul nearby was, Thor walked down the relevant corridor, only fighting those that offered him any resistance. Soon he was at a cell door, hearing a banging on the door and a familiar voice crying for help. The cell was locked, of course, but that proved no problem at all. Thor simply tore the door out of the frame, and grinned when he saw Bobbi finally. He reached one hand back under his cloak, it reappearing with two mid length pieces of metal that Bobbi would be very familiar with, which he held out to her.
"Here. Feel free to use them on the way out. There are others that came to rescue you too, though they are not known to me, I confess..."
He stepped back, looking both ways down the corridor to ensure no immediate threat was going to snipe at him, or worse at Mockingbird, right as she left her cell. Of course, any that even tried that would receive a hammer to the face...

_____________________________________________
Gamora felt she had performed her job well. Most of the enemy soldiers were dispatched She had taken point to get them into the Skrull prison, leading the way through enemy territory and resolving enemy encounters so that the others could follow. She knew she was not the only one to perform their duties well, but now that they were inside she felt less pressure to do so. The enemies would be fewer and the building offered more familiar containment for close quater battles. From here until the moment they left to return to the ship, Gamora felt confident their battles would be easier.
Rocket, being Rocket, quickly dispatched the security within the alien technology. He had the "firewall" down and the information uploading to Quill's helmet in minutes. In that time no one attempted to attack them. Gamora found this wise of an alien race that wasn't known for wisdom despite having loads of intelligence and technology. Rocket piped up about taking the chair with him and Gamora cast him a sideways glance.
"You're carrying it," she told him.
Gamora watched Thor take off in the direction of the prisoner they all sought. She quickly looked to Quill. "Better hurry or the Thunder God is likely to deprive you of your prize."

All the good love when we're all alone, Keep it up girl! Yeah, you turn me on. -------------------- Waiting around was the worst part. Not only was it boring as all get out, they basically had to stand around while Rocket played at being clever. He was, of course, but having to listen to it made you want to feed him to a Tantoen Sand Best. Especially when there was nothing else to do but stand around and put up a token effort of keeping guard. So yeah, Quill was a bit on edge and as soon as Rocket said he was done and Thor wandered off, he snatched up his helmet and pulled out his element guns.
"Groot, pull the ship around to the front gate and blow it, we'll be coming out soon," the pilot said into the communicator in his helmet as he waved the rest to follow him. Sure, he was expecting at this point for Rocket to come carrying a chair, but he was betting the little guy was going to be too lazy. Furniture shopping aside, they still had to catch up with Thor, secure their prisoner, and fly off into the sunset.
The first was easy and Star-Lord found the muscle bound blond in front of the cell his map led him too, a much prettier blonde before him.
"Hey guys, hope we're not intruding," he cried out nonchalantly as he approached the pair. "Reinforcements should be showing up soon. How they've not arrived yet is beyond me. Think you can walk, birdy?"

Groot pulled the ship around blasting through the gate as Quill ordered. While he's busy taking care of rescuing the prisoner Rocket has his own plan...
"I need a new seat! Time to make good use of these wheels!"
Rocket said starting to move around in the chair wheeling around the room.
"We best bounce from this popsicle stand before anyone else gets froggy! I think Quill and thunder boy got this on lockdown!"
Rocket said before scooting the computer chair out of the building and wheeling down the ramp standing on the seat shooting his pistols at anyone who dares to approach the building.
"My chair!!!! Get your own!!!!"
What? Rocket is a thief! You know he takes whatever he wants! And if the Kree have a seat that is better than his then you know he's taking it.
"Time to take this puppy home!"
Rocket yelled as he hit the thrusters on his boots hanging onto the chair. Like it was shot out of a cannon the chair zoomed across the warzone.... Perfect timing too because Groot just landed the ship and the back entrance was opening up...
"Uh oh.... Oh crap...…"
Rocket muttered as The chair hit the ramp...
"INCOMING!!!!!!!"
*CRAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!!!*
And he proceeded to crash land through the ship's lounge table in a hellacious landing... Groot stood there baffled by the display not even knowing what to say from what he just saw.

Bobbi had to jump back suddenly as her cell door got ripped off, then she grinned as she saw just who was there. "Thor, I'm so happy to see you!" she exclaimed, practically squealing as he handed her the best weapon; her staff! She quickly assembled it, feeling the so often missed weight of it in her hands, while she nodded along to Thor's words. "Oh really, who'd you get to come along?" she asked, half hoping for the real Hawkeye, but as another handsome gentleman appeared, explaining a bit before asking if she could walk, though she had to smirk as he called her 'birdy'.
Sauntering forward a bit, she smiled and said "Yeah, I can walk, and guess what? I can kick the crap out of any Skrulls that get in my way too. By the way, name's Mockingbird, nice to meet you..." She paused on purpose, wanting to know who had signed up for this crazy rescue mission, hoping that it wasn't just these two. Don't get her wrong, being liberated by two hunky guys wasn't bad at all, but even if they'd managed to eliminate some of the Skrulls, there were more out there. "So, is the coast clear? Can we get off this planet now?" she asked, having so many questions but not sure which to ask first. After a bit, she did think of one and turned to Thor. "How'd you figure out I was here of all places?" she asked, tapping her staff against what was left of the door frame.

Their moment of reunion was swiftly... interrupted was not quite the correct word, but it was close enough, Thor supposed. He gestured in the direction of Quill, a casual enough gesture that probably showed his trust of this man in a battlefield situation. "Mockingbird, allow me to introduce Star... Me? Star You? Way-Lord? Um... Star Lord. That was it. He and his crew were trying to find you as well, so we teamed up and took on a few armies to do so. You know, the usual. I am able to sense the general proximity of human souls with Mjolnir. Not much use on Earth, but this far away? Most helpful indeed."
Mortal naming conventions were strange, Thor considered, but he'd definitely heard those other ideas he'd had before somewhere, which was no doubt where his mind had dragged them from. Hopefully they weren't galactic criminals or something, he would not want to offend the honour of this man by suggesting he was anything to do with space crime of any sort. Maybe there was some other issue with his name that Thor could poke him on later, though.
"So, after the kicking in the door is done, I believe tradition calls for a heroic withdrawal. Those who are feeling heroic might wish to join me in withdrawing, therefore." He took a step towards the doorway, ready to allow the others to dictate the pace, at this point.

_____________________________________________
Gamora stood watch in the prison entrance that they had imploded as Thor and Star Lord retrieved the prisoner they were here to liberate. She picked off a few straggling Skrull here and there, usually coming at her from the prison hall rather than outside. It seemed that Thor and Tocket had done quite a number on the ones from the ship who had tried to follow them to the planet and engage. She was under no illusions that leaving would be simple, but destroying most of the opposition on the way inside was definitely wisest.
Groot did them all a favor and brought the ship closer to the prison. When he was low enough, Rocket took his leave - along with the chair he wanted - and beelined for the ramp. His boots made quick work of it, though Gamora was sure there'd be a mess inside from the crash she heard even from here. The seasoned warrior did not let this distract from her the mission, however, so that when Thor, Star Lord and the Earth woman appeared, Gamora was ready.
Pointing at the ship with her weapon, Gamora encouraged them to follow. "Groot brought our ride." Seeing two prison guards emerge from behind the trio, Gamora raised her guns and fired around them calmly. The two fell instantly. "Let's go."
