Chapter 1.

This is the sixth book I've done on this site so far! Wow! And it's my second Marvel Cinematic Universe story! This is a little bit inspired by "Journey of a bounty hunter" by blaszczu2500. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this story.

Xandar, 2014…

On the planet Xandar, Mark Wulfson sat cross-legged on top of one of the dome like structures that were spread across the area. He looked down at the people passing the dome, oblivious that he was sitting on the top. He liked that, as he was afraid of how they'd react to seeing him. You see, he wasn't like them, as he had a predominately black and grey furry body, his face white, prickled ears, blue eyes, a small tail coming out of his bottom, with a black mottled shirt covering most of his body and a quarter of his hind legs, not to mention he could walk on his two hind legs! He was what people on Planet Earth, (or Terra as Xandarians called it) called a Husky! His looks were not his main concern however, as he feared how they'd react to his smell, as he hadn't washed himself nor his shirt for months. In the past, whenever he'd been to a place, either to get supplies, people around have always complained about his smell. His mind filled with thoughts was suddenly distracted when he spotted a green skinned lady with black hair in black clothes walk along the gantry below him to the right. "Wait a minute… I've seen her before somewhere… yes, that's that famous Gamora women. Of course, she's something like Xandar's most wanted. Word is she's a murderer, or related to one. Something like that. If I capture her, the price on her head could make me rich, set me up for life, which means I'd be able to eat without having to scavenge for food like a Hyena, be able to have a roof over my head again, the good life." Mark thought as he got up on his feet, or paws as that's what they were. He still hadn't yet decided which he should call them.

He followed the green Skinned lady called Gamora towards another dome building, where she stood outside the door. Mark turned to his left and faced the gantry rails, pretending to be someone looking at the view, but would tilt his eyes and face ever so slightly right so as to see her still standing there. A minute or two later, a brown-haired man came out of the building, so Mark, with his interests peaked, used his dog hearing to listen in. "Hey, we had a deal, bro!" The man shouted at the grey metal doors. Mark guessed he saw Gamora next to him, because she started talking. "What happened?" She asked him. "Uh, this guy just bust out of a deal on me. If there one thing I hate, it's a man without integrity. Peter Quill. People call me Star-Lord." The man said, introducing himself, but Mark saw by the looks on his face, he was trying to flirt with her a little bit. "You have the bearing of a man of honour." Gamora said to him. "Well, you know, I wouldn't say that. People it about me, all the time, but it's not something I would ever say about myself…" Quill began saying, before Gamora then grabbed a grey orb he held in his hand and kicked him in the stomach before running away. Mark was about to run after her when Quill stopped her with a rope like device which tied her legs, which reminded Mark of Bolas. Quill came up to her, but she kicked him and made him fall on the floor, and the two started fighting each other. Mark then ran up to them, and as he saw Gamora get onto of Quill and looked about to strike, he made his move. He came up behind her and grabbed her left forehead with his right hand and wrapped his left hand against her throat. "You're coming with me." Mark said in a stern voice.

But before he could make another move, he was suddenly then shoved away from them and fell on his stomach. "Put him in the bag! Put him in the bag!" He heard a voice behind him, and when he turned around onto his back, he saw Gamora was behind attacked by a Raccoon wearing an orange suit with something on its back, some kind of tree like creature behind Gamora, carrying a grey bag. The tree creature then extended what looked like vines towards Gamora and then wrapped them around her arms and waist. "No! Not her, him! Learn genders, man!" The Raccoon then spoke which surprised Mark. "Boy, a talking Raccoon and a tree like creature! And I thought I've seen it all." Mark thought as Gamora screamed and bit on the Raccoon's hand. "Biting? That's not fair!" The Raccoon complained. After a few seconds, Gamora then broke her arms free of the vines and threw the Raccoon away into a glass structure down on the ground below. Gamora then picked up her knife and threw at Quill, who was attempting to get away down the bend in the gantry. Gamora then extended her knife into a blade and used it to strike the tree creatures arm, as Mar got up on his feet/paws before she jumped onto a table and jumped down, Mark running up to the left side of the table just as she jumped down. Mark then looked down at the height, and then, using both hands on the handrail, he moved and turned his whole body over the edge, falling down and landing on his feet. He turned around to see Gamora run away with the orb Quill had had. He raised his left hand/paw, and moved his behind his head, as it started to glow red. Then he rapidly it rapidly forward, a red circle shaped beam coming out of it and headed for Gamora. The beam struck Gamora and made her fall to the ground, just as Quill came down from the gantry and landed right on top of her. They both fought each other again, but Gamora got on top of him once again. "Fool. You should've learned." Gamora said. "I don't learn. Once of my issues." Quill replied, before he took the orb out of her hands and placed something on her back, before pressing something on his leg, which launched Gamora away from him, making him land in a pool of water.

Mark then ran over to where Gamora had landed. However, when he got over to the side of the pool where she was, and looked down at her, she turned over onto her back and then kicked him in the muzzle, making him fall on his back. Mark lay where he was for around half a minute, before getting back on his feet. He looked around and saw the Raccoon holding a gun a then it shot something at Quill, which when hit him, sparkled with electricity, making him yell and yell to the ground. Mark then ran over to them, to see Gamora unconscious on the floor. Spotting him, the Raccoon then aimed its gun at him. "Woah, woah, don't shoot! I'm just here for here! You can have him, I don't care." Mark said in a slight scared voice, pointing his on of his right paw fingers at Gamora and then behind him at Quill. The Raccoon then moved his gun down and looked at the whimpering now armless tree creature, its arms lying on the ground, AS Mark then knelt down, grabbed Gamora and started to drag her away. "They'll grown back, you daft idiot. Quit whining." The Raccoon said rather rudely. Suddenly yellow-orange beams then moved them up of the ground a few feet, making Mark drop Gamora on the ground. Mark looked around and saw the beams were coming from several orange ships with 8 wing like things jutting out around it. "Subject 89P13, drop your weapon." A voice came from one of the ships. "Oh, crap." The Raccoon muttered, before dropping its gun on the ground. "By the authority of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest for the endangerment of life and the destruction of property." The same voice said again.

Mark and the group of thieves he'd encountered were taken to Nova Headquarters, home of the Nova Corps, home of the Nova Corps, the law enforcement and armed forces of the Nova Empire, Xandar, capital of that empire. They were taken to a place where two officers standing behind a control panel, learning who they were. Gamora was first. "Gamora. Surgical modified and trained as a living weapon. The adopted daughter of the mad Titan, Thanos. Recently, Thanos lent her and her sister Nebula out to Ronan, which leads us to believe that Thanos and Ronin are working together." One of the officers explained. Next was the Raccoon. "Subject 89P13. Calls itself "Rocket". The result of illegal genetic and cybernetic experiments on a lower lifeform." The officer explained, as the Raccoon, named Rocket, spat on the floor. "What the hell?" The second officer asked when it was Groot's turn. "They call it "Groot". A humanoid plant that's been travelling recently as 89P13's personal houseplant/muscle." The first officer explained, as Groot moved forwards slightly and growled. Next was Quill. "Peter Jason Quill. From Terra. Raised from youth by a band of mercenaries called the Ravagers, led by Yondu Udonta." The first officer explained, as Quill did the middle finger at them. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know how this machine works." Peter said, playing dumb. Finally, it was Mark's turn. "Subject 15209. Originally called "Mark". Originally from Terra, was kidnapped by mercenaries and transferred his consciousness to the enhanced body of a lower lifeform." The first officer said, Mark staring at him in a stern way with his arms crossed. "What a bunch of A-holes. Transfer all five to the Klyn." The second officer ordered. They were going to prison.

And that's the start of my latest story! Hope it's a good start. I kept Mark's words vague as the others were described short. The idea of Mark's body being a dog was inspired by the character D.O.G from the Netflix tv show "Pup Academy". And the paw beam power was heavily inspired by the Deadly Mastiff paw from the movie "Rock Dog" (2017).

Basically, he was an 18-year-old teenager from Earth, but was kidnapped by aliens six months ago, and had his consciousness transferred into the enhanced body of a Siberian husky's. Right after they finished, the ship was attacked and the kidnappers left to fucus on the attackers. Mark was able to find an escape pod and escaped.
