Once Star-Lord got into position, it was only a matter of time before he would hear Rocket's signal. Suddenly, he heard screaming and shouting coming from the other side of the camp. Then came the gunfire. It was time to get to work. Star-Lord leapt from the bushes and quietly ran towards the camp. He got inside the camp while the men were reacting to the firefight. Earlier, Rocket counted around thirty-four men in the camp with four outdoor tents. While running towards one of them, he saw a tree coming down upon another tent and destroying it in seconds. Then, he proceeded to enter the tent while men were running pass him and towards combat.

Inside, he found dozens of artifacts and prized possessions out for display. Nearby an artifact was a tunnel designed to send them down towards the underground part of the camp. Star-Lord was interested with everything in the tent, but he heard noises nearby. He immediately hid by one of the displays and watched as  Zynsalak and three other men entered. [color=gray]"You two follow me into the underground,"[/color] he barked out orders. [color=gray]"and you will lead the men to victory or death."[/color] 

The woman nodded and ran outside to fight against the enemy. Meanwhile, one of the men asked what to do with the remaining artifacts. Zynsalak looked around as if for the last time and sighed. [color=gray]"Leave them be. We can finish later or leave it from mother nature."[/color] With that, the three men walked down towards the underground. Star-Lord found what he was looking for and returned outside. The fighting was still ongoing with sixteen men dead, according to one of the pirates. He pulled out his blasters and carefully approached the firefight. Unfortunately for them, Star-Lord was spotted right away and opened fire. He managed to kill two of them before flying away thanks to his jet boots. 

In the air, he spotted the others using another fallen tree as cover and landed nearby. He ran to cover and greeted the others.

[color=darkorange]"You found him?"[/color] Kraglin asked while Rocket was firing at the pirates. 

[color=#FF3E96]"Yeah."[/color] Star-Lord responded. [color=#FF3E96]"You should see the entrance. It's filled with ancient artifacts and other amazing shit!"[/color]

[color=tomato]"Did you say ancient artifacts?"[/color] Rocket stopped firing and looked at Quill.

[color=#FF3E96]"Yeah?"[/color]

[color=tomato]"Alright then."[/color] Rocket got excited and reached into his belt, pulled out two grenades, and handed them to Quill. [color=tomato]"Take them and use your jet boots to deal with these pirates. We will attack once you drop the grenades on them."[/color]

Star-Lord nodded and activated his jet boots. Rocket and Kraglin provided covering fire while he flew towards the enemy. He had to a couple barrel rolls to dodge the lasers. Before he was over the enemy, he put his blaster away and grabbed the grenades. Now with a clear view, Star-Lord pressed the red buttons and dropped them above them. The grenades blew up the second they landed on the ground and did serious damage. Star-Lord pulled his blasters again and opened fire once he was on solid ground. He used a crate as cover. Meanwhile, the others were using Groot as a shield to push forward. 

The fighting continued for a few minutes with the pirate losing more people. And soon enough, there were only three people remaining. Of course, they kept on fighting until Groot impaled all three of them. To make sure they were dead, he smashed them against the ground and one of the tents. It became increasingly violent to the point where everyone was caught off guard. Even Rocket was taken back and told Groot to stop.

[color=sienna]"I am Groot?"[/color]

[color=tomato]"You overkilled it, pal."[/color] Rocket explained. 

Star-Lord and Kraglin were stunned with the brutality and walked away from them. They arrived at the tent and entered it with Rocket and Groot following them shortly after. Inside, the room was quiet and the artifacts were still there. Rocket became amazed with the potential value if they were to take and sell them. If they weren't fakes. He glanced at every artifact before finding the tunnel along with the others.

Star-Lord turned to the others and said, [color=#FF3E96]"Zynsalak is in there with two other men and we need answers. So let's not kill him yet."[/color]

Rocket turned towards Groot and asked, [color=tomato]"Can you walk ahead of us? Just in case."[/color]

Groot nodded and walked faster than the others. They were near the entrance when Zynsalak's men opened fire on the tree. Their weapons were no match for Groot's tough wooden hide. He stabbed one of the guys while Star-Lord shot the other with his blaster. Zynsalak surrendered the moment his men dropped dead. Both Kraglin and Quill couldn't believe that they were facing the only man with answers.

[color=gray]"What do you want?"[/color] Zynsalak asked while realizing that every one of his men were dead. 

[color=darkorange]"Answers, Zynsalak."[/color] Kraglin coldly replied and raised a blaster to his face. [color=darkorange]"Tell us about what you were doing near the Eclector's last location?"[/color]
