This is the continuing story of Peter Quill/Star-Lord after the Guardians part ways and he let Gamora go. He now lives with his grandfather back on Earth in Missouri. He's more depressed since he lost his mother, had to kill his father, lost his girlfriend who came back from another timeline and doesn't want to date him, and he and his friends parted ways. One of his late mother's ex-lovers does something bad to the Quill house. Also, Grandpa Quill has a complicated past, and enemies from his past are coming after him. Unfortunately, Peter's ex-lovers from space have tracked him down and they want to kill him. What will he do now since he's going solo and he's outnumbered. What if after the prologue, the opening credits will show Star-Lord having a spaceship race, and we hear "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins? At one point, while going through jump points, Peter and Grandpa get stuck in a different dimension where he sees a different version of his biological dad, who is an emperor named J'Son. What if the Eternals are involved because of the revelation of Eros, the brother of Thanos? What if they also talk about the dangerous relic called the Black Vortex?
