When Drax is FLUNG by the beast into the stereo system,

SMASHING it.

Groot stops dancing. Angry that Drax has ruined his fun, hepicks up a piece of the stereo and beats him with it.

CREDITS END.

Drax stands and glares at the ferocious beast as Rocket,

Quill, and Gamora BLAST at it without effect.

DRAX:

The beast’s hide is too thick to be

pierced from the outside. I mustcut through it from the inside.

GAMORA:

Huh?

Drax HOLLERS, CHARGING the creature.

GAMORA (CONT’D)

Drax, no! That doesn’t make

The creature OPENS ITS ENORMOUS MOUTH, SCREECHING, and Drax

LEAPS INSIDE IT, instantly swallowed up.

QUILL:

What is he doing?!

GAMORA:

He said the skin is too thick to be

pierced from the outside, so he -

QUILL:

That doesn’t make sense!

GAMORA:

I tried to tell -- !

QUILL:

Its skin is the same thickness from

the inside as from the out!

GAMORA:

I REALIZE THAT.

INT. BEAST’S STOMACH - DOESN’T MATTER

Drax HOLLERS as he SLASHES AWAY inside the goo of the beast’sstomach. To no avail.

I/E. POWER STATION - DAY

Quill reloads his pistol, thinking.

QUILL:

Gamora, there’s a cut on its neck -

Rocket, get it to look up.

Quill and Rocket JET UP HIGH up over the creature as theyBLAST REPEATEDLY at it.

QUILL (CONT’D)

Hey, you giant Sea Monkey, up here!

Gamora’s rifle is jammed. She tosses it down. PULLS HER

SWORD. SNAPS IT OPEN.

The beast SCREECHES at Quill and Rocket FLYING overhead. The

colorful SPLATTER MATTER FLIES FROM ITS MOUTH, BATTERING

ROCKET, BURNING his clothes.

But its neck is exposed, where the skin is thinner, and thereis a small wound.

Gamora DASHES, LEAPING HIGH into the air, and she PLUNGES her

sword directly into the wound.

She holds tight to the hilt as she FALLS, SLICING AN INCISIONdown the length of the creature’s neck.

The beast WOBBLES, TOPPLES, and DIES. As it COLLAPSES, Drax

SPILLS OUT of the wound. He raises his arms in victory.

DRAX:

Ha ha! I have single-handedly

vanquished the beast!

Quill SCOFFS. Rocket SNORTS. Gamora stares at him, dead-eyed.

Baby Groot throws a rock at him.

DRAX (CONT’D)

What?

I/E. POWER STATION - MOMENTS LATER

The Guardians de-rig by the Anulax batteries.

DRAX:

What are they called again?

QUILL:

Anulax batteries.

DRAX:

Harbulary batteries.

QUILL:

That’s nothing like what I justsaid. But they’re worth thousandsof units a piece. Which is why theSovereign hired us to protect them.

Rocket pulls out one of the ANULAX BATTERIES, checking it

out.

Gamora, Drax, and Quill walk on. Rocket stays back a moment.

Quill nods down the walkway, where GOLDEN SOVEREIGN CITIZENSstand at the edge of the station, gawking.
