09: Xandar

[Time Skip: 1 Month. 02/01/1993 (On Earth)]

"Hum... Hi there."

"Who the heck are you!?"

"Well... My name is Gray. I'm a bounty hunter! I need money to buy something important that I want... And im here for your head. Thank you very much for your patronage."

Before the man could say anything, his head was cut off by a golden sword. The crew just saw their captain talking with a 1,58 centimeters tall kid using gray clothes when golden arrows penetrated their heads, killing them instantly. James is now a bounty hunter, a month ago after he had a battle with the X-Men, he decided that he wanted to go to Xander... So he used his Phoenix powers to teleport himself across the universe, his body burned with the white flames and he appeared floating on the void of the universe, that was when he discovered that he doesn't need to actually breathe... His body can use energy as a substitute for air.

It seems that only his memories of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy weren't enough to teleport him there, in the end, he was captured by a group of pirates that tried to sell him as a slave. James waited until they arrived on a planet and killed the whole crew using Pisce's ability. He had to learn how to pilot the ship, and he learned it faster... He just almost destroyed it 5 times. Right now James was going back to Xandar, his base... The first time he went to Xandar, he clashed his space ship and almost killed himself. He was rescued by the Nova Crops and he was brought to the hospital to checkup because they thought that he was a kid...

Well, he is a kid. But that thought that he was a kid from Xandar that was kidnapped by Space Pirates, but then he explained to the lider of the Nova Corps that he was a bounty hunter, those who heard him saying it thought that he was a just a kid but James showed them that he wasn't a normal kid. Magic is known on the whole universe, but the most famous magic is Asgardian Magic, know as hard magic to master that some can use freely. And, well, James is one of them. He challenged the Captain of the Nova Corps for a spar.

The Captain was known as a powerful person that is a master on Hand-to-Hand combat expert. James fought with the captain for two hours before he lost, but not only him but also the captain was completely tired. James used Asgardian Magic to create illusions, to create dark pillars that attacked with ranged attacks, to create golems and even to make the body of the captain burn. They fought on the training grounds, so several soldiers saw their fight and were shocked by James' magic and attacks because not only he attacked magically but also physically with his fists and kicks.

[Flashback]

"James! Come here, boy." said a tall grey-skinned muscular man using a different suit from those around him. "Yes, captain?" James walked forward, it been a week since he... Landed in Xandar. He already killed and collected the bounty of three famous pirates and received a decent amount of Estelar Money. "I want you to spar with some of our new recruits..." The captain's name is Verzus, he is pretty old, 96 years old! James sighed when the Captain asked for him to spar with the new recruits... He spared with not only the captain but with a lot of people, he won more than he thought he would just using Asgardian Magic.

"Okay, Captain..." James is not from the Nova Corps, but he still calls this man Captain because he respects him and he respects James, he is just an 8-year-old child but still fights like a grown-up man! When he arrived at the camp following the captain, he saw 20 new recruits they looked at him and at the captain and one of them even asked: "Captain! Is he your child?" What made a lot of people laugh, principally those who knew who James was and even the captain himself. "No! He is your 'helper' for today's training session." James as an innocent child that he is ready to make them let their guard down.

"Hello, guys! My name is James!" He said while approaching one of the recruits with enthusiasm in his voice, he continued: "You are like my big brother! So cool!" He looked at one of the recruits who looked up with pride and said: "Of course im cool! I-" before he could end his sentence, a hand grabbed his arm and he was yeeted on the wall 5 meters away from their position. "The first lesson is to never let your guard down... Really, does the new recruits of the Nova Corps just trash that can't know the basics of survival?"

James was walking away when a foot was going to hit his head, but he just moved his head to the side a little bit and grabbed the foot with his hand and yeeted the person on the ground. It was the same person that he threw on the wall. "Ho... You seem pretty resistant." Commented James while using his feet to press the guy on the ground, he changed his form to Taurus. two bull horns grew out of the sides of his head a cow's tail jumped out of his back and he said: "I will enjoy this moorning." He unconsciously mooed but no one dared to say something or laugh. No one except the captain who was laughing his ass off when he saw the beating that those new recruits were going to receive...

In the end, all the recruits were on the ground moaning with pain on their arms and legs as James used his Taurus form to teach them Hand-to-Hand combat and switching to Leo form some times. Magic is rare in Xandar because they focus on technology, so when everyone saw James' body transform they thought that it was magic. James sat down on the body of a totally bruised recruit, his name was Vertyz he was the one that James threw at the wall and the one who most attacked James and the one who was most kicked, punched, and more... "You know, your technique is terrible, your footsteps are leaking strength and your gravity sense always breaks when someone kicks your left foot."

The captain that saw all the recruits getting beaten laughed while saying: "He is so right! Hey James, what about getting to work for the Nova Corps? Maybe you can be a captain too." When the recruits learned that he wasn't a member of the Nova Corps they were sincerely surprised. Vertyz the one who was on the ground broke some bones, well all the recruits broke a bone or two... James sighed and got up from Vertyz's body while saying: "I still want to be a Bounty Hunter... Captain. So I will have to decline your offer." James switched to his Aquarius form, his hair turned blue and white bubbles started to float around him... He was like a merman but outside the water.

Wherever the water bubble touched a recruit, he would feel pain and scream, but after 5 minutes they stopped screaming. Janes used his water ability to make their bodies natural healing ability supernaturally faster what made their muscles and bones mend together again and produced a lot of pain. The one who screamed the most was Vertyz, who screamed for a whole 10 minutes. The captain asked what he did and James just said: "A basic healing spell." The captain didn't ask further and let James return to his hunting job.

[Flashback ends]

James landed in Xandar with his Space Ship that originally was a pirate ship, he went to receive his bounty for this man he got and later go to Knowhere to buy books from the Collector or something like that... Stone? He doesn't want a fricking stone, his 1 wish was to have no limits so he will train hard to be stronger without using those stones. Every day he uses his forms to everything, even walks around with different forms, takes a bath, cooks and other things! It became so natural to James switch forms that he does it even sleeping. He wakes up in the morning in a different form, today he woke up as Pisces (Light green hair and some scales on his body) and yesterday he woke up as Gemini (White hair with black eyes.)

"Now, let's get you bounty shall we?" He said while looking at the head he bought with him. It was a Dead or Alive bounty... And he prefers to take the target corpse, it is very difficult to bring the target alive and they would mock him or even beg, what was very lame and a dead body can't talk.
