Both Starlord and Moondancer, as they said to each other, watched each other's backs. Years seem to become like days for the two, but, through some course of actions, their kidnappers, strange enough, sorta became like a family to them. They didn't say it, but Yondu sorta became their father figure... a father figure who would be pissed off and try to kill you if you didn't follow his rules, sort of father. Of course, it was a surprise for the two to learn that they were going to become ravagers themselves.

Both Starlord and Moondancer sat in their cell together, eating a meal that wasn't, as Peter called, 'Shit soup'. For a lack of better words, they had what was space chicken & vegetables. Moondancer once had a taste of meat before, and hated both the taste & was morally questioning why anybody would eat something that was alive. Peter joked that vegetable were alive, but the two had a shared agreement where Peter would eat the meat and Moondancer would eat the vegetables. They were both enjoying their meal, but the door opened with Yondu in the doorway. They both stood up and backed up.

"Aw, what's the matter?" Yondu mocked "Thinking we're gonna eat ya?"

"Y-yes." Peter answered. Yondu cackled.

"Aw, that ain't happening... now until I say so. I think ya'll are gonna enjoy being part of this family."

"...Family?" Moondancer asked, turning to Quill. He shrugged.

"Come on. I think yer gonna enjoy this." Hesitantly, they both followed Yondu across the ship. "So, you don't know much about us, don't you?"

"Other than you took me from my home." Peter replied sarcastically.

"Yeah, other than that?"

"No, mister."

"Why are we following you?" Moondancer asked "Is there some sort of purpose, or do you just want us to follow you?"

"A little bit of both." Yondu replied. He turned to the two. "You both have guts, but you'll show your guts if you don't know how to use your brain."

"I use mine more than him."

"Hey!" Peter spoke. Yondu chuckled, ruffling Moondancer's mane.

"I'm sure you do," he spoke "but not like that. If you wanna survive here, well... this is where the fun begins."

"...Fun?" They both asked in unison.

"I see real potential in you two. Potential to become Ravagers, like me." Both of their eyes widened, turned to each other, then back to Yondu. "Surprised? We may not have the greatest start, but I'm sure we can get behind that and become one, large, happy family. So, what do ya say? Want to become Ravagers?"

"...What if we don't accept?" Moondancer asked with skepticism. Yondu let out another cackle and pointed to the window. The window showed space; nearly pitchblack, but littered with stars.

"See that? Space. We're at least lightyears away from another planet with air, zero gravity around, and no one to hear you scream. Tell me: How long can you hold your breath?" Both Peter and Moondancer immediately knew what he meant. "Ready to join?" They both nodded their heads. "Good. Training's begins now. Don't die on me."

"DIE!?!?!?" Both kids shouted in unison. Some other Ravagers came and dragged the two away from Yondu, to other segments in the ship that both have yet to see. No doubt that this was going to be tough, but strangely, they were ready.

Combat.

Both stood in front of another Ravager, but with the cameras on them, they knew that Yondu was watching them.

"Alright," the Ravager began "I saw how you fought against Yondu, and that was a weak display from both of you."

"What do you expect!?" Peter replied "I'm just a kid."

"Ha! When I was your age, I already killed my brothers in a fist fight!" Both Peter and Moondancer stared.

"...I doubt that." Moondancer commented.

"What do you mean!? I'm-"

"'Sup bro." Another Ravager passed, looking like their instructor.

"...That's someone else." their teacher spoke

"Sure~." Moondancer replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, think you're right? Alright, punch me in the face! A good whack across my cheek." He bowed to them and extened his cheek. "Go on! One punch is all." Moondancer turned to Quill. He nodded. Rather than standing on her hindlegs and deliver a punch with her forelegs, Moondancer turned around and bucked their instructor in the face. He was immediately knocked unconscious.

"...I think you over did it." Peter commented

"Eh, he was asking for it." Moondancer replied. The other Ravager came back and examined the unconscious one.

"Oh great, should've known." He commented, turning to Moondancer. "Your work?"

"Yeah."

"...Good job. But what about your front legs?"

"I can barely balance on my hind legs. Peter can tell you." The Ravager turned to Quill. He shrugged.

"She's a terrible dancer." He answered.

"...Eh, I guess we'll have to find some boots that can help you balance on your hind legs." The Ravager spoke. "Luckily, I'm one of the researchers upon this vessel, so I can develop something for you. What about you, Peter? Can you fight?"

"...Kinda. He was suppose to train us how to fight, but... y'know."

"He deserved it then; he's always been a jackass. Guess I'll teach you a thing or two until he gets up."

"Fair enough." Peter picked up his fists and readied himself for his training. Moondancer, however, conjured a notebook & quill and took notes. While most of the Ravagers took note on this small detail, most wondering how she was doing, to which she replied with "Magic". When asked if she can bring other stuff, she shrugged, saying "I only know this". The cameras didn't lie.

Weapons

Their same trainer from last time held an ice pack over his head, though his right eye had a noticeable bruise. They stood in what looked liked another training area, but with targets at the end of the hallway.

"Alright," he spoke with an annoyed sigh. "since my... brother... is your trainer in physical combat, I guess I can work with you on something that's just as important."

"And what's that?" Moondancer asked with a smug "Healing a Boo-boo?" Peter couldn't help but laugh at Moondancer's joke. The Ravager let out a long, deep breath.

"No... that's not it. It's how to use a weapon." He held up a weird pistol. "More specifically, the Quad Blaster."

"Quad Blaster?" Both Peter and Moondancer asked.

"Yep. Every Ravager's favorite side arm, with the exception of Yondu's Yaka Arrow."

"...Why does it only have two ends?" Peter asked "For something called 'Quad Blaster', I expected there to be four ends."

"And are there more weapons?" Moondancer added.

"Yes and shut up!" Their teacher replied to Moondancer, then to Peter. "This is called a Quad blaster because the most talented of people can use both ends of these at the same time while dual wielding it."

"...So, why isn't it called a Di Blaster?" Moondancer asked. The teacher face palmed himself.

"Dual wielding guns, eh?" Peter asked "So these guys were like the best cowboys and outlaws ever?"

"Sure, if that'll make you happy."

"Maybe I can do it."

"Ha! You!? A kid! That's ridiculous! It takes years of practice to master dual wielding!"

"It can't hurt to try." Their teacher cackled as he gave Peter two of the Quad blasters.

"Go on, give it a try! 10 credits say that you can't hit that-" Peter fired two blasts at the same time and disintegrated one of the target's heads. Moondancer sat on her haunches and clapped her forelegs together.

"Whoo! Yeah! That was awesome!" she cheered. Peter turned and gave her a bow. Their teacher grunted in anger.

"Beginner's luck." He spoke "But only a real talented Ravager can-" Peter turned and began to shoot down all of the targets that came out. Many of the other ravagers stopped and watched as Peter, despite being a child, easily shot down the various targets with ease. Soon, all the targets were vaporized in record time, both quad blasters cooled off, and Moondancer with the other Ravagers cheered. Moondancer ran and, balancing on her hind legs, gave Peter a warm hug.

"Oh my gosh! That was amazing! I hope I can be just as awesome as you!"

"Eh, maybe you are." Peter replied "Here, try them."

"But she has no fingers!" Their teacher spoke "she has bloody hoo-!" Moondancer held both guns in her hooves

"...huh... didn't expect that."

"...How do you fire this thing?" Moondancer asked

"Oh, well, you see, you gotta-" Peter touched the quad blaster and bolt of ligthing came out. It struck their teacher's eye, making him scream in pain, followed by him falling limp to the floor. All the ravagers turned to their ally, then to their recruits. Both Peter and Moondancer looked at the situation, and pointed at each other.

"HE/SHE DID IT!!!" They both accused each other.

Ship Maintenance

After a stern talk from Yondu about not endangering their family's life, the two were back with the other Ravager, who had plans to help make some special Quad blasters for her hooves, as soon as he made the special boots and help his brother get a cybernetic eye.

"Okay, I guess I'll have to train you on maintaining a ship." He spoke.

"Aren't we on one?" Peter asked

"Yes, we are, and for that, you're going to maintain this ship as soon as we're done going over the basics." Peter whined. "So, I'm sure you didn;t know, but the ship we're in as simply called "Eclector". As you see, it houses all of us Ravagers, but it's not the only ship we make sure stays flying."

"What's the other one?" Moondancer asked

"Your own ship." Both Peter and Moondancer gasped at the news. "Look, I know this is big news, but-"

"Where is it!?" Peter asked

"Is it fully functional?"

"Does it have lasers?"

"Is it able to hit speeds that can create sonic Rainbooms?"

"Can it work with my walkman?"

"Does it have a bathroom or any rooms?"

"Enough!" Their teacher yelled. He took a long, calming breath. "You're both not old enough to pilot it, but... let me show you." He lead them, but the two kids hopped with excitement. They both stopped and awed at the majesty of the ship in front of them. "This is a standard M-Ship. Now, usually a small group is meant to pilot one of these, but Yondu believes that the two of you should share one together, what with you two already having a bond."

"...When do we pilot it?" Peter asked

"When you learn all the schematics in this ship and fix the gas leak we're having in the boiler. Here's the manual." Peter held a really large manual that could easily fill up half of his backpack.

"Aw~. I was hoping to avoid techno-bable." Moondancer took the manual from Peter.

"Hm... this looks very interesting." she spoke "Maybe if you listen, I can help make the 'techno-bable' into a way that you can understand, Peter."

"D'aw, thanks, sis." He scratched behind her ear.

"Hey!" Their teacher yelled "That leak ain't gonna fix itself!"

"Yes, sir!" Both spoke before running off. Yondu stepped next to the Ravager.

"Such cuties, ain't they?" he asked

"Very much, sir." the Ravager replied

"When is the miss's tools gonna be ready?"

"Probably when they become teenagers, sir."

"Heh, glad to hear."
