Ego, the living planet, was here. The world may not know, but Hector knew everything there was to know about this fucker, and one thing he was sure of was that this guy needed to die.

However, Peter was a good lad, and if he trained well, then he could harness the power of Ego and become one more powerhouse of the Earth and the Galactic Federation.

How to do it was something he'd have to brainstorm on the go. Even killing him right now was hard unless he gets to Ego's planet and destroys its core. But doing that would also kill him.

"Sir, the ship is requesting to dock,"

Hector sighed and nodded, "Let it dock,"

"Peter, Gamora, Moony and Diana, follow me. Also, Peter, listen to me carefully as we walk." Hector took the longest route to the docking bay. Meanwhile, he talked to Moony mentally, telling him to be the calming catalyst.

"Son, the man that just appeared out of nowhere, is called Ego, the living planet. He calls himself a celestial, but he's not. He is, however, a primordial and powerful being.

"He came into existence millions of years ago as a flickering brain-like organism, parentless and bodiless, floating adrift in the vacuum of space, alone. Over this extended period of isolation, Ego learned to manipulate the molecules around himself, creating a protective shield. Over the course of untold eons, Ego continued to build planetary components layer by layer around this core, which eventually evolved into a life-like planet.

"Ego craved a deeper meaning and purpose in life. Having wondered about the existence of other lifeforms in the universe, so he created a biological humanoid avatar, another extension of his true self, and set out on a voyage through the cosmos."

At that, Peter interrupted, "But why are you telling me that?"

"Keep listening, son. This concerns you and your future." He spoke in a more serious tone.

Peter shut up and listened, as Hector doesn't usually become serious, "Ego was not impressed by the results of his journey, deeming the other lifeforms he had encountered "disappointing". He concluded that his true purpose in life was to remake the universe in his own image. Ego proceeded to plant seedlings of his own design on planets all throughout the universe, intending them to eventually terraform their worlds into new extensions of himself in an event he called the 'Expansion'. He basically wants to devour the universe.

"But Ego soon realised he had a problem. He alone was not enough to activate his seedlings. He'd need an ally. So, believing himself to be the last of his kind, he began a new campaign, siring children on thousands of female humanoid aliens and Impregnating women under the false pretext of love.

"All in hopes of getting an heir. He hired Yondu Udonta to track and deliver these children to him once born, though none of them proved to have inherited his DNA, at which point Ego killed them, hiding their remains beneath the surface of his planet.

"And Peter, you are one of his children, the only one who inherited his DNA, his powers,"

*BOOM*

On the side, Hector stopped Gamora from going and interrupting, as she clearly saw the lies of Ego, something she learnt after living with Thanos for so long.

Ego caressed Peter's back of the head, "My dear boy, I hoped for this moment to come for so long. I tried so hard to find you, so we can take the Universe and make it ours together. Things I sacrificed for this... my life... my love."

"What do you mean?"

"Son, I loved Meredith so much, if I had stayed any longer or had another visit, I would have stayed and let go of all my dreams and ambitions, the Expansion plans. But I had to do it."

"WHAT? WHAT DID YOU DO?" Peter got louder.

Ego wasn't going to let that slip out so easily. So Hector spoke from the side, "He planted the tumour in your mother, Peter, so she may die, and you don't get too attached to her."

If he had any, Ego's heart raced faster than a horse in heat. He looked at Peter's face; the eyes started to show a hint of realisation and pure anger, "Peter... Peter, I had no other choice. I am your father; you wished to have one forever. We can finally be together and rule the universe. We ca-"

"NO!"

Peter's muffled voice interrupted Ego; his eyes started to shine in blue suddenly, "I... I ALREADY HAVE A FATHER AND... A GRANDPA!"

*BOOM*

It was the most beautiful spark of blue lightning that abruptly came out of Peter's palms, attacking Ego in the chest and sending him ten feet in the air back. But it didn't stop. Peter's whole body started to radiate the same blue lightning, his hair began to float, and his eyes went completely shining blue.

Ego cheered in excitement; the thing he longed for eons was finally here, "YOU HAVE IT! MY DNA! MY SON!"

"YOUKILLED MY MOTHER!"
