Guardians of the Galaxy: Gauntlet of Infinity

''Mind. Soul. Space. Time. Reality. Power. Death is coming.''

Guardians of the Galaxy: Gauntlet of Infinity is a film taking place in Earth-77, the Community Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Opening Scene
The film opens with a shot of deep space that slowly fades into an ancient hieroglyph of outer space. Adam Warlock narrates.

"Since the dawn of time, there have been artifacts with the power of destroying everything. I was created by the Celestials themselves to keep the artifacts from falling into the wrong hands. But now, we are all in danger."

We cut to Adam Warlock meditating in some chamber made of pure gold. Suddenly, there is an explosion. Several green aliens rush into the chamber, all wielding laser blasters. Warlock gets up, and releases a huge burst of yellow energy that kills all the aliens. He realizes something, and rushes out of the chamber. He goes into another room but sees that the Infinity Gems are missing.

Aboard Tarnax IV
We see Kl'rt, commander of the Skrull soldiers. Lyja, his second-in-command, approaches him and tells him that Thanos has retrieved the Gauntlet, and wishes to form an alliance with the Skrulls so that they may rule together. Kl'rt doesn't trust Thanos, and sends Lyja to tell him that the Skrulls won't give up these weapons of mass destruction so easily.

Lyja takes off, and Kl'rt gets up. He walks over to a shelf where the Gems are all sitting in different glass containers. Kl'rt smiles, and tells some Skrull slaves to take the Time Gem out. We cut to Earth, 1970, and see a man named Michael Korvac having a romantic picnic with his wife, Carina. Michael proposes to her, and she says yes. They have a romantic moment, when out of nowhere the Skrull spaceship, Tarnax IV, appears in the sky, and beams Korvac up into their ship.

Korvac struggles to escape, but the gravitational beam is too powerful for him get free. Carina yells for Michael, but is killed by a laser beam from the Skrull spaceship. Aboard the Tarnax IV, Skrull slaves tie Michael to a table and leave him there. Kl'rt walks up to Korvac and tells what's going on. Kl'rt says that the Skrulls are at war with the Kree, and a man named Thanos told them of six powerful artifacts that would help them win the war, but if they put all the objects together in a special Gauntlet, the power of the artifacts would be combined, and the wielder of the Gauntlet would gain omnipotence.

Kl'rt says that they didn't trust Thanos, so they just took the artifacts for themselves. Kl'rt reveals an ancient Skrull prophecy revealed that a man from Earth could help the Skrulls win an ancient war. The war with the Kree. Kl'rt tells Michael he is the man destined to help them win, but Kl'rt feels some "modifications" should be made. Kl'rt walks away and a slave walks up, holding the Power Gem on a special platter. The screen cuts to black as Michael screams in pain.

The Star-Lord
At an intergalactic bar, bandit Peter Quill is in a fight with some Rigelians. He gets beaten senseless, and the owner of the bar, Morg, kicks Quill out. Quill gets in his spaceship and takes off. Quill notices a shootout between two ships, one being piloted by Darbian police forces, and the other has been hijacked by Rocket Raccoon, an escaped convict. Rocket Raccoon shoots down the other ship and takes off. Curious, Quill follows him to the planet Cron.

Quill lands his ship and approaches the raccoon, asking him what just happened. Rocket Raccoon tells him that he was imprisoned on Darbia but escaped. Rocket Raccoon tells Quill to leave him alone, but Quill tells Rocket Raccoon he should turn him in, since Quill is a member of the Star-Lord Squadron. Rocket laughs, and Quill admits he was actually just fired.
