Original subtitles

Sir, that unidentified flying object we've been tracking is on a collision course with Earth.

At its current speed, the impact could have devastating effects.

What's the projected point of impact?

We've plotted its trajectory.

Techno Isle Tokyo, huh?

And I think we may have got a break.

Send word to the Avengers and mobilize.

Who does Nick Fury think he is, ordering us around?

He wouldn't even have a job if we hadn't gotten shield-reactivated.

I think he'd show a little gratitude.

Target in sight.

Our orders are to blow it out of the sky.

Ugh, again with the orders.

All right. The ultimate Unibeam ought to do the trick.

Sir, I am detecting life forms within the object.

What? Alien tourists?

I guess the demolition jobs on hold, then.

I'll see if I can slow it down.

Easier said than done.

The object's speed is decreasing.

Why doesn't he destroy it?

Does he really think he can stop that thing?

Oh, man, his time's almost up.

Iron Man!

I know, I know.

Okay, that's slow enough.

The rest is up to you, Hulk.

You did it! Way to go, Hulk!

Well, that's one disaster averted.

But stay frosty.

Don't forget that thing's got life forms on board.

Guardians of the Galaxy!

Keep your distance.

We don't know who or what might be inside.

They could be intelligent beings from another planet.

Sure, it could happen.

Yeah, right.

You never know.

Let's knock on the door and say hello.

No.

I said stay back.

Oh, come on.

What could happen?

Aah!

Aah!

I am Groot.

Did you say Groot?

I said Groot.

I take it back.

He doesn't look very intelligent.

I am Groot.

Stop!

Stay back!

Hold your fire.

I am Groot!

What?

Sir, it is faint, but I am still detecting another lifeform within the orb.

All right.

We'll have to go in.

Uh, you sure that's a good idea, hot guy?

Whoa! This is so cool!

I'd love to check this out in my lab if only it fit.

Awesome!

Stay focused, will ya?

Sure, sure.

Who am I kidding?

This is amazing!

Look there.

A raccoon?

Or a raccoon-like alien?

So that's the other lifeform?

Look at him.

He's so cute.

I want him.

Can I keep him, please?

Jessica.

He's not looking too healthy.

Maybe those two are friends.

Maybe that tree guy was only trying to protect this raccoon thing.

Look!

What in the world is that?

An energy source of some kind.

Like nothing I've ever seen.

I want everything loaded on board, including what's left of that talking tree.

Too bad they turned him into firewood before I could examine him.

But on the bright side, I still have an indeterminate energy source and an alien raccoon I can run tests on,

both of which now belong to SHIELD.

So if anyone's gonna run tests on him, it's us.

Hey, hold on!

That device, whatever it is, could be important.

Its energy is like Red Skull's Dimension Sphere.

It's what?

If we can figure it out, it might tell us just what we need to know in order to beat that sphere.

And no offense, but I can analyze it a whole lot faster than the techies on your payroll.

After all, it's universally recognized that I have one of the finest scientific minds on the planet.

And the biggest mouth.

Hey, what can I say if you've got it, flaunt it?

Huh?

I heard every lousy word of that.

Good.

And you know I'm right.

So tell your boy here that I need that device.

You're welcome to analyze it, but you'll have to do it at our research lab aboard the Helicarrier.

Take it a lead, and keep your hands off the raccoon.

He's ours.

Understood?

You've got to keep your finger on everything, don't you?

Why not, Tony?

What?

Come on, I've been dying to get aboard the Helicarrier again.

Yeah, and I've never even been aboard.

I've always wanted to know what it's like on the inside.

Don't be stubborn. Let them go.

All right, have it your way for now.

I'll use your lame research lab, but only because I have to.

We'll roll out the red carpet.

Well, this doesn't look good.

I do not believe it.

They have taken Groot and Rocket.

I've still got a reading on the Kremokt.

It's airborne.

Just as I suspected, the power this thing's putting out

is off the charts.

You think we can use it to boost ours?

Power power?

Probably.

It could be just the edge we need to beat the Red Skull.

Since we're on the subject, there's something I want to show you.

What's that?

See, I've been thinking a lot about your power-up plan,

so I made a version of my own.

Check it out, as soon as you de-smash out of the disc

and engage the enemy, I start monitoring your activity limit

on my bio-band here.

When it looks like you're getting close to your limit,

I input the command, and voila, these flaps come out of here,

see, and then this part converts into this,

and then the new power unit goes kaching, grr, grr, grr.

Right in there, see?

This is the best part.

And then you can be all kaboom, pow, everything on the enemy.

So what do you think?

I call it the ultra-ultimate secret--

Looks like you've been doodling instead of paying attention

in school.

But I did like the nifty sound effects.

These aren't doodles.

You're making fun of me.

Oh, sorry.

I'll keep it in mind, Akira.

Thanks.

You will?

Promise?

Cool.

Mm-hmm.

Whoa!

You're OK to look around the place all you want.

Just make sure you don't blog about any of this

when you get back down on the ground.

Oh, don't worry.

I won't.

Boy, you don't know what this means to me

to actually be aboard the Helen Carrier.

It's like a dream come true, except better.

I remember this.

Seems like a long time ago.

You're not the same nervous young kid anymore.

You've grown up a lot.

I have?

Really?

Just believe in yourself.

I will.

What?

What's wrong?

How come Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D.

are never able to see eye-to-eye on anything?

Hmm.

Well, we have to keep the big picture in mind

when it comes to making decisions

instead of acting in the moment.

Personally, I think it's good having different points of view.

It keeps things balanced.

But don't ever tell Director Fury I said that, OK?

He'll dock my paver in subordination.

Where am I?

Huh?

Hey, Chris, wake up!

The raccoon like Aelina's gone!

Who are you calling a raccoon?

Come here, you!

Get your hands off of her!

You're gonna make me!

Move it!

Jessica!

That creature we picked up escaped from the sickbay.

Is this how you raccoon aliens

repay someone for nursing you back to hell?

The name's Rocket.

Huh?

Call me a raccoon one more time, sister,

and you'll be the one needing medical attention.

OK.

I take it back, you're not so cute.

This way, move it!

What's going on?

There he is!

Hold it!

All right, let the girl go.

You can have her.

A very wise decision.

Are you surrendering?

Not exactly.

I was just trying to buy a little time, and I did.

What in the world?

The latest service is in it.

I guess they weren't expecting visitors.

That's the warm welcome I was hoping for.

You do not think the smart thing would have been

to de-cloak a little later, Star Lord?

Where's the fun in that?

Hang on!

Guardians of the Galaxy style!

We're here for Rocket, Groot, and the Kremokt.

But first, we want to show our thanks

for how nicely you treated our friends.

What happened?

She vanished.

Did not.

Never seen a human yet who could keep up with Gamora.

Kind of low tech there, aren't you Robin Hood?

Robin Hood, really?

Wait a second, are you from Earth?

Well, my mother was.

You look almost human.

But thanks!

You probably would too if...

You lost those shades!

Um, shouldn't we do something?

We're doing it!

We're going to stay right here in the lab

and finish our analysis of that alien energy source.

Ah, the raccoon thing!

That does it!

The next one of you meatbags that mentions me

and those mangy furballs in the same breath

is it for a real bad day!

Now where's the Kremokt?

Hand it over!

The Kremokt?

What? I don't know what you're talking about.

I ain't got time to play games with you, kid.

So quit playing dumb and just give it up!

You'll never get your hands on it.

Oh no?

Pretty tough talk from a little toy robot.

Toy robot, huh?

Akira!

Right!

Accept it.

Materialize it.

Check.

Identify me.

Iron Man!

Deep Mask!

Look out!

Suit up.

It's on.

Bring it on, rodent.

Rodent?

You are so gonna wish you hadn't said so!

Akira!

No!

Nice catch.

Akira!

You're welcome!

Okay.

I guess you're not such a rat after all.

Save your breath.

I didn't do it to get your approval, you talking tin can.

Oh, I like that.

Coming from a Coonskin cap with attitude.

Coonskin?

That does it.

No mercy!

Oh no.

Those two are at it again.

I'm not sure we need the adversaries.

You?

I thought he got burned up.

I am.

I am Groot.

I think he's trying to say something.

No, wait.

I'm Akira.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

I am Groot.

I am Groot.

Hey, guys!

He understands!

I am Groot.

I am Groot.

What?

He says he regrew himself from one little branch.

That's amazing.

I am Groot.

I am Groot.

They're communicating.

Indeed.

I'm Groot.

Indeed.

This guy's not bad.

Come on.

Is that the best you people can do?

Shield throw!

Whoo!

Nice one.

It's time to bring this mayhem to an end.

Yes, finally a little competition.

No!

Fast, but not fast enough.

Identify yourselves.

Put down your weapons.

Put yours down.

Very well.

Hey, what was that?

Surprised?

What do you expect when you pick a fight without laws?

I am Groot.

I am Groot.

Huh?

Groot!

You're all right?

I am Groot.

You had us worried, dude.

I am Groot.

They what?

These guys saved the escape pod from crashing into the planet?

I am Groot.

And Rocket's okay, too?

I am Groot.

Yeah, I know.

Sorry we're late, but, you know, hey, we're here now.

I am Groot.

So I guess this is all just one big misunderstanding.

You explained all that, huh?

More or less.

Sorry about the sucker punch.

Look, I'll make it up to you.

Go on, hit me with your best shot.

Just not in the face.

My looks are my fortune.

No problem.

I guess anybody can make a mistake.

I wouldn't have let you anyway.

What's going on here?

Star Lord!

What are we waiting for?

Let's wipe the floor with these yahoos!

It was all a mistake, Rocket.

What?

Who are these guys?

We're known as the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guardians of the Galaxy? Really?

Yeah, really.

Anyway, I should probably start by explaining how Groot and Rocket came to be here on Earth in the first place.

See, there's this truly bad dude out there called Ronan the Accuser, and we stole something from him.

The Kremokt, a source of unlimited energy.

Something that powerful you definitely do not want in the hands of a creep like Ronan.

Anyway, we took it.

He sent his goons after us, but we got away.

All of us except Rocket and Groot, that is.

Luckily, we managed to hijack one of Ronan's escape pods.

But the chief forces of the launch knocked us out cold.

You would have been Patay if these guys hadn't saved you.

Yeah, well, uh, sorry about that, but I thought you were going after the Kremokt yourselves.

Huh. Well, I might forgive you if you let me try a French braid on that fur of yours.

A French what? Is that legal?

So, who is this Ronan guy?

He's bad news. He's as evil as he is strong.

How strong is that?

Strong enough to destroy the entire universe.

That's strong.

We're reading a powerful space-time distortion.

Great. What now?

What is that?
