Star-Lord - Pt. 1 - Space Oddity Pt. 1.

A young man stood outside a NASA facility. He grips his backpack straps and takes in a beep breath. Eagerly, the young man makes his way inside. As he gets to the door, Security stops him and asks for his identification.

 

 

"Here you go."

 

 

"Peter quill, welcome to NASA."

 

 

"Thanks."

 

 

Peter takes his ID from the security officer and he walks into the building. The sight of the lobby makes his heart race. He just stands there, staring in awe of the men and women passing him. "I'm really here!" He thinks to himself.

 

 

"Peter!" His friend, Sam, yells from across the room. Peter, still awestruck, did not answer the call. Sam walked over to his friend and shook his hand. "We're here!"

 

 

"I'm still trying to wonder how."

 

 

"Come on, Peter. You were the best student. Well behind me of course." The two laugh at this statement.

 

 

"D'you know where we have to go to sign in?"

 

 

"Yeah, I'll show you where you need to go.

I can't believe it! I'm here. I'm finally going to be able to explore space!

 

 

Peter thoughts raced still, until a loud commotion broke down a hallway. Anxiously, Peter ran down the hall to see what was going on. He was met by the sight of a pale-skinned man in a red robe. The man hovered almost a meter over the ground.

 

 

"Hello, occupants of this space station. I am a speaker of the Master of the Sun. I'm here to find the most well-suited, capable men on this station to be a Star-Lord."

 

 

"What's a Star-Lord?" Someone asked from the other side of the room.

 

 

"To put it in layman's terms, a space-policeman. One that will patrol the Milky-Way in pursuit of criminal."

 

 

"What do we need to do to become this Star-Lord?"

 

 

"Nothing. We have already taken the liberty of scanning this ship to determine the most suitable candidate."

 

 

"Who is it then?" A man asked.

 

 

"It'll take time to choose. A week's time, maximum."

"I've got to be the Star-Lord! It's the perfect opportunity for me. I'm perfect for the role as well.

 

 

Halfway through the day, The Speaker appeared again. Every man that could showed up in the loading bay. Everyone eagerly awaited for the results to be given. Once everyone arrived the Speaker had everyone silence themselves so that he would have no distractions.

 

 

"The most outstanding candidate is... Herrelson!"

 

 

Peter's mood completely dropped. Harrelson was the farthest thing from a friend to Peter. "How could this be?" Peter thought to himself.

 

 

Harrelson walked out of the crowd and towards the Speaker. The Speaker raised his hand and burnt a circle on the ground in between the two of them

 

 

"Stand in this circle and prepare for telelportation."

 

 

Harrelson stood in the circle. He then turned to his peers and saluted them. Outraged by this, Peter shoved his way through the crowd and ran to Harrelson. He shoved him from the circle just as the teleporter sprung to life and zapped Peter away from the space station. A blinding white light flooded Peter's eyes. As the light went away he found himself in a completely different place. Peter's heart leaped as he heard a voice from behind.

 

 

"Hello, I am the Master of the Sun..."
