In 2014, Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and
Baby Groot are renowned as the Guardians of the Galaxy. Ayesha, leader of the
Sovereign race, has the Guardians protect valuable batteries from an
inter-dimensional monster in exchange for Gamora’s estranged sister Nebula, who
was caught attempting to steal the batteries. After Rocket steals some for
himself, the Sovereign attacks the Guardians’ ship with a fleet of drones. The
drones are destroyed by a mysterious figure, but the Guardians crash-land on a
nearby planet. The figure reveals himself as Quill’s father, Ego. He invites
Quill, Gamora, and Drax to his home planet, while Rocket and Groot remain
behind to repair the ship and guard Nebula.
Ayesha hires Yondu Udonta and his crew, who have
been exiled from the greater Ravager community for child trafficking, to
recapture the Guardians. They capture Rocket, but when Yondu hesitates to turn
over Quill, whom he raised, his lieutenant Taserface leads a mutiny with help
from Nebula. Taserface imprisons Rocket and Yondu aboard Yondu’s ship and
executes Yondu’s loyalists while Nebula leaves to track down and kill Gamora,
whom she blames for all the torture inflicted on her by their father, Thanos.
While imprisoned, Rocket and Yondu bond. Groot and Kraglin, a remaining Yondu
loyalist, free Rocket and Yondu, and they destroy the ship and its crew as they
escape, though not before Taserface warns the Sovereign.
Ego, a god-like Celestial who manipulated the
matter around its consciousness to form his “home” planet, explains that he
projected a humanoid guise to travel the universe and discover a purpose,
eventually falling in love with Quill’s mother Meredith. Ego hired Yondu to
collect the young Quill after Meredith’s death, but the boy was never delivered
and Ego has been searching for his son ever since. He teaches Quill to
manipulate his Celestial power. Nebula arrives at Ego’s planet and tries to
kill Gamora, but the pair reach an uneasy alliance when they discover caverns
filled with skeletal remains. Ego reveals to Quill that in his travels he
planted seedlings on thousands of worlds which can terraform them into new
extensions of himself, but they can only be activated by the combined power of
two Celestials.
To that end, he impregnated countless women and hired Yondu to
collect th e children, but killed them all when they failed to access the
Celestial power. Under the influence of Ego’s power, Quill helps him activate
the seedlings, which begin to consume every world, but Quill fights back when
Ego reveals that he killed Meredith due to the distraction she posed.
Mantis, Ego’s naive empath servant, grows close
to Drax and warns him of Ego’s plan. Gamora and Nebula also learn of the plan
just as Rocket, Yondu, Groot and Kraglin arrive. The reunited Guardians reach
Ego’s brain at the planet’s core, and fight the Sovereign’s arriving drones.
Rocket makes a bomb using the stolen batteries, which Groot plants on Ego’s
brain. Quill fights Ego with his newfound Celestial powers in order to distract
him long enough to allow the other Guardians and Mantis to escape.
The bomb
then explodes, killing Ego and disintegrating the planet. Yondu sacrifices
himself to save Quill, who realizes that the reason Yondu kept him was to spare
him from the fate of Ego’s other progeny, and that Yondu was Quill’s true
“daddy”. Having reconciled with Gamora, Nebula still chooses to leave and
attempt to kill Thanos by herself. The Guardians hold a funeral for Yondu,
which is attended by dozens of Ravager ships, acknowledging Yondu’s sacrifice and
accepting him again as a Ravager.
