- (MUSIC ENDS) - Hmm.

(GRUNTS)

I am the Watcher,

your guide through the vast realities of time.

And today, we bear witness to a monumental prophecy,

about to be fulfilled.

Enshrined in this ancient temple, is the last seed of Drez-Lar.

Legend says the seed will emerge from this hallowed ground

and usher the universe into a glorious new age.

But not without the help of one of our bravest heroes.

- (RUMBLING) - An awe-inspiring champion

known all throughout all the cosmos.

He's the chosen one.

He calls himself...

Groot.

(BALL SQUEAKING)

THE WATCHER: There's no telling what perils the temple holds for Groot.

He must tread lightly

- for any wrong step can prove-- - Huh!

- (RUMBLING) - THE WATCHER: Oh! No, no, watch out!

(ARROWS WHOOSHING)

THE WATCHER: Wait. Wait, are you doing that on purpose?

I've never seen someone set off

- literally every single trap. - Ha-ha!

THE WATCHER: How... I... I mean, it's actually quite impressive.

He's lived through every obstacle, untouched.

- (RUMBLING) - Uh...

That's not good.

(RUMBLING)

Oh, boy! Okay, that's, um... lava.

Time is of the essence. The seed is now in grave danger!

- (EXCLAIMS) - Groot must-- Groot! No, no, no.

The seed is that way!

That way!

- I guess he's found the ancient mural. - (EXCLAIMS)

Groot must know innately that there are secrets

hidden in this mural that will lead him to the safest path...

- I am Groot. - Don't draw on it!

Where's the-- Where's he going?

Okay, well, at least he stopped defacing precious artif--

(URINATING)

- Never mind, this is worse. - (GROOT HUMMING)

THE WATCHER: And now that he's relieved himself,

he must be ready to resume his mission.

The galaxy's greatest hope has only minutes

until it literally goes up in flames and...

- Can he see me? - (GROOT BABBLING)

THE WATCHER: No, I'm a 5th-dimensional being.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Sorry, he's just putting on a little show.

But the time has come.

The fate of the universe--

- What are you doing? Napping? - (YAWNING)

THE WATCHER: You can't nap.

You are about to fulfill a prophecy eons in the making

and you're going to let it melt away because you're tuckered out?

No way. Godly rays of light?

This is classic.

Okay. Contain your excitement.

The prophecy's coming true. There he goes.

Facing the danger without fear, he's going for the seed,

about to deliver peace and happiness to the entire universe--

- (EXCLAIMS) - THE WATCHER: The ball?

You just wanted the ball? What's that thing cost, a quarter unit?

Groot, you have to focus-- No!

No, there it goes! This universe-- This universe is doomed!

Oh, I am Groot.

Sorry kid. You're on your own.

I am the Watcher, but I can't watch this.

(RUMBLING)

No. No, no, no.

This can't be right. The prophecy was so clear.

It said the seed,

this small vessel of great potential would sprout from this very place.

Spreading peace and joy throughout--

- And the seed... - (YAWNS)

THE WATCHER: ...is a metaphor, isn't it? (CHUCKLES)

Okay. This is what I get for skimming the prophecy.

(BALL SQUEAKING)

THE WATCHER: Go forth, you little seedling.

I know you'll make us proud.

How does he keep doing that?
