Peter Quill dashes across the Space Station, red blasts flying past him. He rounds a corner, sprinting towards the docking bay. As soon as he gets there, two more guards stand in front of him, blocking his way, holding blasters to his chest. Starlord then stops dead still and slowly raises his arms, dropping his guns. "Easy now," He says, trying not to get shot. One of the guards tells him to drop the cube that he's holding. He slowly crouches down, about to drop it to the floor when Thanos smashes through the docking bay, destroying most of the ships, he lay there with his eyes closed. The two guards in front of Starlord turn around, gasping, before they hold up their guns at Thanos. Starlord takes the opportunity. He picks up his guns, sending some blasts at the guards behind him, and runs over to his ship. He gets in, about to go when he sees Thanos open his eyes and send a golden beam of energy into the two guards there. The last you see of them is their skeleton fading away in the beam. Thanos then gets up sending another blast at the other two guards.

Annihilus then crashes through the station, doing a superhero landing. It then leaps into Thanos, sending them both sprawling outside into space. Starlord then says "Time to go now," and zooms off into space. But before he knows it a golden beam hits his ship's generator, making it unstable. Flames roar off of the ship as he drops through space, heading to Earth. He catches a last glimpse of the space station, but something different is there, Galactus, and with that he plummets through the Earth's atmosphere, heading straight for New York.

As Starlord drops, he presses a big red button and his seat launches him in the air. He then activates his rocket boots and flies safely to the nearest building. He watches as the ship explodes in flames below. He then talks into his earpiece and says "Stark, this ain't good,"...
