"The opponent's attack hasn't damaged the ship."
Inside the control room, the driver of the Ravagers reported to Yondu, who had hurriedly arrived.
Accompanying him, Star-Lord looked out through the control room's glass and immediately recognized the attacking ship—it was his own ship, Milano.
"You idiots, pay attention!
You've been targeted by my designed, immensely powerful Hadron Cannon."
"It's Rocket!" Baymax quickly recognized the voice of the speaker.
"If you don't hand over our comrades, we'll use the Hadron Cannon to blow a hole in your ship!"
"I don't believe you!" Yondu, who had seen various dramatic situations, was not intimidated by Rocket's threat and prepared to ignore his actions.
"I-I'll count down from five, -~five-four-three..."
"Stop, stop quickly!" Upon hearing Rocket counting down, both Baymax and Gamora became anxious, while Star-Lord rushed to the control panel.
Yondu didn't understand Rocket's abilities, but they knew what Rocket was capable of.
If that Hadron Cannon fired, it could really punch through the Ravagers' ship.
Then Star-Lord and Gamora would once again experience the feeling of suffocating in the vacuum of space.
"Rocket, it's me, Star-Lord. We've worked it out, everything's fine now. Please don't fire!" Star-Lord pressed the communication button to speak to Milano.
...
With Yondu's permission, Star-Lord returned to Milano and devised a detailed plan with everyone.
"What did you say? We're going to steal from the guy who just beat us to a pulp?" Rocket said excitedly.
"And what about you? Weren't you trying to save us? You almost blew us up!" Star-Lord retorted, not pleased.
"If they release you, we won't fire," Rocket defended himself.
"Only 5 seconds; they won't have time to release us!" Star-Lord pointed out.
"For the sake of saving you, I didn't have time to think about those details.
And now you turn around and blame us?" Rocket argued.
"I am Groot."
"Exactly, heartless scoundrel!"
"Alright, our top priority now is to get the Ravagers to help us retrieve the Cosmic orb and save Xandar."
Seeing these three grown men throwing tantrums at each other, Gamora quickly stepped in to bring the focus back to the main point.
"Then, as an exchange, we'll give the Infinity Stone to Yondu afterward, so he can sell it to even worse people?" Rocket directly pointed out the problem with this plan.
Even if their current mission succeeded, as long as the Infinity Stone wasn't properly secured, the crisis would persist. Could they, a group of interstellar rogues, keep chasing after the Infinity Stone and dealing with the aftermath forever?
"That's something for later. We need to deal with the trouble at hand first. If we can't stop Ronan now, there's no point in discussing the future." Star-Lord persuaded Rocket.
"But how do we stop him?" The question returned to the initial problem.
"I have a plan." This time, it was Baymax who spoke up.
After successfully rescuing Star-Lord and Gamora and ensuring they were safe, Baymax began calculating non-stop to come up with a plan to retrieve the Cosmic Orb.
If they can't resolve this trouble now, there will come a day when Ronan will descend upon Earth with the Infinity Stone, undoubtedly threatening its owner, Mark.
The battle may be even more devastating than the one in New York.
To prevent this scenario from happening, Baymax even activated the logic program pre-set by Mark in its computational chip.
This logic program could simulate Mark's own thought process, combining absolute rationality with genius logic, making it Baymax's most efficient computing solution.
Of course, enabling this function would result in a huge energy consumption for Baymax.
After losing the support of the Cosmic Orb, an infinite power source, it could only maintain this calculation mode for two hours with its graphene batteries before completely running out of energy.
However, now Baymax had arrived at a calculated result—the so-called "plan"!
This ultimate plan, formulated through simulating Mark's meticulous logic thinking, would be executed in steps.
"Firstly, we've witnessed that the Infinity Stone reacts to any organic matter. The larger the target, the stronger its power.
Ronan only needs to let the stone make contact with the planet's surface, and everything—plants, animals, the Nova Corps—will be destroyed by him."
"So, the first step of our plan is to prevent Ronan from landing on Xandar. We need to confine him to his ship!
Rocket, you lead a team to blast an opening on the starboard side of Ronan's Dark Aster. This way, we and Yondu's ship can infiltrate."
"Second step, once Ronan realizes that we've breached his ship, he will surely seal off the cabin with safety doors, locking himself inside.
We need to unlock these doors by disabling the ship's power system, so we can enter the control room."
"Third step, Rocket, do you remember the Dominator and the Antimatter Annihilation Bombs I showed you? I need your help to manufacture them.
Once we're inside the control room, we'll use them to blast Ronan into the sky!"
"What? Are you out of your mind, Baymax!
Even though I am a genius, I'm not as genius as your master.
And I've never created such dangerous weapons! We don't have time to research it from scratch" Rocket was greatly shocked by Baymax's plan and lacked confidence in completing this mission.
"What are you talking about?" Star-Lord asked curiously.
"These are two types of weapons left in Baymax's database by the Earth genius who invented them.
The Dominator is relatively normal, capable of turning any hit target, even a grazing one, into a pool of blood mist.
As for the Antimatter Annihilation Bomb, if my hands tremble a bit during the manufacturing process, then we won't need to consider saving Xandar, and everyone can go on vacation in heaven."
Gulp—
Star-Lord nervously swallowed, a cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Clearly, Rocket's description had frightened him as well. Turning a target into a pool of blood mist might be considered a normal weapon, but did they have a misunderstanding about the word "normal"?
On the Milano, not only Star-Lord but also Drax, besides the naïve Groot, felt uneasy. Even though they hadn't met Mark, their impression of him had changed from an Earth genius to a more terrifying demon-like figure than Ronan.
