Synopsis for "Just Another Planet Story!"
In New Moscow, the capital of Earth, in 3015 A.D., the Guardians of the Galaxy fought against the Brotherhood of the Badoon. During the battle, Vance Astro saved a young boy, while Yondu saved Charlie.
Meanwhile, Martinex executed Governor Koord before rendezvousing with his teammates at the main rotunda of Federation Hall and learning that Earth. Later, Badoon reinforcements in the form of starships landed, carrying Queen Tolaria, who had come to remove the Brotherhood from the planet. A mob of humans sought to kill the Badoon, but were blinded by Starhawk, who ensured that all of the Brotherhood had been evacuated from Earth.
In autumn, Yondu used his Yaka Arrow to stab a man who attacked him before vowing to restore his health. In winter, Martinex and a human scientist walked through a ruined laboratory in Berlin, where the first Pluvians were created. In Los Angeles, Charlie became a construction worker and wrapped a steel beam around his boss after being provoked. At a cabaret in San Francisco, Vance Astro caught the attention of a dancer, although he rejected her before attacking a drunk man who belittled him.
After leaving the cabaret, Vance Astro was beamed up into the Starship Captain America by his teammates. Onboard the ship, Starhawk revealed that they were going on a mission that all, save for Vance Astro, had approved.
