Plot
Enjoying their first week of studies at Baxter Institute, Nathan Quill is with his girlfriend Zoe Gillan working on their animatronic robots while recalling the day he was once joy-walking on streets until he ended up witnessing an alien gemstone which crash-landed on Earth and, right after Nathan touched it, merged with him, granting him a symbiotic link with a special star-shaped emblem of alien technology which was stored in a old S.H.I.E.L.D.. The emblem granted him amazing powers and, inspired by Peter Parker's actions as Spider-Man, became the new superhero Star-Lord. Right after finishing their projects, Nathan and Zoe witness the Jackal, an animalistic, green-furred criminal, terrorizing citizens at Roxxon. Nathan and Zoe (who happens to be the shapeshifting alien amazon Gamora) suit up and leap for action.

Star-Lord and Gamora confront Jackal in Roxxon and, after a fair fight, defeat him and force him to retreat, but not before Gamora finds a damaged badge with small inscriptions of Midtown High School in the Jackal's cloathing, as well as a key for a secret Hydra laboratory hidden in the school. Deducing that one of the teachers is the Jackal and ackowledging him as a agent of Hydra, they opt in infiltrating Midtown High to find evidences. With help from Sally Avril, who keeps principal Raymond Warren and others occupied with her long speech, Star-Lord and Gamora successfully sneak through the school and enter the Hydra laboratory through what was once Otto Octavius' office. As they find and gather enough evidences of who the Jackal is, Star-Lord and Gamora encounter an alien relic of the Kree Empire and an A.I. card containing the consciousness of Sebastian Allan, a deceased army sergeant and top engineer who was killed during a battle with Hydra in World War II. It was also revealed that Arnim Zola and Red Skull had also transferred sergeant Allan's mind and consciousness into a super-computer for his future experiments. Star-Lord and Gamora retrieve the relic and the flashdrive containing Allan's consciousness, but they are soon alerted that Ronan the Accuser is coming for the relic, and will destoy anything in his path if necessary.
