Star-Lord was the first to shoot once the battle begun, the blaster hitting Taserface directly in... Well, his face. This caused the Ravager to tumble backwards, a growl of rage seething out of him. Quill gulped, regretting his decision. "Crud..." luckily as the large alien charged forward, Drax stepped ahead and stopped him in his tracks, holding Taserface's shoulders, "Thanks for the save, Drax!"
The leader of the Guardians noticed more of the bandits armed, and ready to shoot. Gamora was the second to strike already, throwing a blade sheathed in her pocket directly into the arm of one, causing them to scream in agony as she jumped forward, driving her knee directly into their jaw, knocking them unconscious. She rolled on the ground and grabbed the blade swiflty and slashed another's leg, making them fall, a loose laser blast aimed into the air as a result.
Groot held out his arm again, trying to focus himself as a target so the teens could escape from the crossfire. All of the guns were primed on him and lasers began to blast out, his wooden barrier working in the meantime as people around the battle ran to safety. "I am Groot!" he shouted, lowering another arm, creating a branch long enough to tie under one's legs, causing them to trip and fall onto another Ravager, creating a small domino effect.
Peter aimed his gun behind him, casually shooting a beam at a goon, knocking them backwards. "Yep. I did that." he boasted, a smug smile on his face.
"Nobody but you cares, Quill." Rocket growled, shoving himself downward in an attempt to tackle another bandit. His small body made ir easier to avoid the crossfire, and although he wouldn't like to care, the fact that this was a crowded area also made him a little uneasy. "Grah! Taste claws, bandit scum!"
Drax swiped an arm upward, uppercutting a Ravager. Taserface came charging forward again, with the Destroyer ready once more. The green man jabbed the alien's stomach. "Why do you call yourself Taserface? Your face is not a taser? If so, that is quite stupid."
"It's... Metaphorical!" the Ravager growled, slapping Drax. The Destroyer held his arm and lowered it, punching the bandit in the face.
Gamora kicked another alien back, asking, "Has everyone gotten themselves out? Last thing we need is someone getting stuck in this mayhem!" she hissed.
"The girls should've been on that. They seem self-aware enough to figure when the going gets tough!" Star-Lord replied, shooting back more Ravagers from his spot, his mask on now.
Principal Celestia, Vice-Prinicipal Luna and recent Principal Cadance guided the students away from the battle, easing that these newcomers could handle the situation and not to be too concerned. "This was... an unexpected turn of events..." Cadance admitted, seeing the crowd of teens clear up, everyone accounted for and heading home. "Is this another magical incident?"
"Are you kidding?! They knew we'd win! They staged this!" Indigo Zap shouted the declaration firmly
Cadance sighed, "We can discuss that part later. For now, just go!" she ordered. She could hear the athlete grumble about something, but she really didn't pay attention.
Celestia shook her head and groaned as she spoke, "No, see, our school has been visited by those five, calling themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. And I should've told them to keep stuff like this away from school grounds."
"It is a good thing our school is under the radar." Luna sighed in relief, "But can you ease the students of Crystal Prep into keeping this under wraps as well?" she asked.
Cadance nodded, "I think so... they're still keeping the Friendship Games quiet, which is a feat. Your school gets weirder every month." she commented, guiding the last of the student out.
"You have no idea..." Celestia muttered, slapping a palm onto her forehead in disbelief.
Standing nearby were seven girls and a dog. All of them gazing upon the Guardians' battle. Wondering if they too should intervene. Rainbow dribbled the soccer ball over her knees and said, "Man, of all the times to have an epic fight..." she groaned in annoyance, dropping the ball and stepping over it.
"Is that yer only concern, Rainbow?" Applejack asked.
Sunset rubbed her neck, "First interdimensional magic, now alien bandits... Even I can't figure things out anymore."
Twilight replied, "The fact that we have knowledge of extraterrestrial life is astounding... But this is wrong. Not how I imagined meeting aliens would go... Especially these Ravagers..."
"I did not think them to be so... Brash..." Rarity commented.
"Um... I think we should go before we get hurt..." Fluttershy quietly suggested, "They got laser guns..."
"Yeah! It's like we're in a censored cartoon where there are no bullets!" Pinkie said, "But I'm not scared of those meanies!"
Spike shook his head in Twilight's grip, "I'm with Pinkie. You girls fought magical monsters from other worlds. This shouldn't be too hard. Plus, the Guardians are with you! That's like twice the awesome."
"Spike is right about that..." Sunset responded. "Minus the awesome part. I think he's been hanging with Rainbow too much." the dog rolled his eyes at that comment.
Rainbow scoffed, "This is our school! I'm not standing by while those Ravager jerks mess up the field! That's supposed to be my spot!" she said in a determined tone.
"Okay, now you are acting a little rash, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said, "Do you think that maybe this is something they should take care of? It does seem they have fought before."
Rainbow Dash's eyes narrowed at Rarity, then to the battle going on in the field. She spotted Gamora jumping over someone before kicking down another Ravager. "Yeah, but... It's aliens..." she whined, "That's like a dream for me!"
"I'm... actually with Rainbow on this one, girls." Sunset decided.
"Huh? Why?" Twilight wondered.
The redhead shrugged, "I mean... In a way, we kind of are the only ones who can protect the school from problems such as this. If we just stand by at the first sight of trouble just because it's not magic, it wouldn't be any better. I think we can shorten this fight if we help them. We have the magic to do so."
"See? Told ya!" Rainbow bragged. "Now is it just gonna be the two of us? Or are we gonna be a team?"
Applejack tipped her hat, "Guess there's no arguin' with the two of ya."
Rarity fixed her hair, "I mean, I'd rather I didn't... But if you choose to then so be it."
"Duh! I can fight aliens!" Pinkie cheered.
Twilight adjusted her glasses, "I'm still not used to this... But maybe I'll help."
"And... Maybe me too." Fluttershy agreed.
Spike shrugged, "And I'll be the emotional support to root you on!"
"Awesome!" declared Dash, "Now, let's kick some alien butt!"
"I told ya it didn't have to come to this, boy-o." Yondu reminded the kid he raised.
Star-Lord scowled under his emotionless mask, "You know I don't want to fight you, Yondu. We don't have the freakin' stone."
The leader of the Ravagers shook his head, "Don't care. You were plannin' on makin' a getaway with it, I bet anyway. So consider this a little payback fer earlier."
Quill shook his head, "Some parent you are..."
Rocket hopped off of someone else's shoulder, allowing Groot to deck them in the face, knocking them on his back. The raccoon noticed a giant gun flung into the air. "Come to me, baby!" he shouted, reaching for the weapon. As he and the object descended, a wooden brance stretched forward, catching Rocket and the gun.
The raccoon was placed gently on Groot's shoulder, just like always, his arm wrapped around the handle of the large gun, his hands placed on the trigger and handle despite his small size compared to it. He noticed it was still working. His eyes narrowed, his hands firmly gripped the gun, and a proud smile was slowly forming on his face. The other Guardians instantly recognized that face as Rocket's battle face. And he was glad to be armed once again.
Two words of excitement simply escaped his mouth.
"Oh... Yeah..."
