Kicking off the plot

As we suspected when the first concept art was released, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 will begin as the team takes on a multidimensional beast named The Abilisk. The Guardians are doing this for payment, and in this case the payment is Nebula (the Guardians want to take her to Xandar). Captured by the Sovereign people, she is offered to the team when The Abilisk (who feeds on the Sovereign power sources) is defeated.

We’ve mentioned that the members of the team don't really see eye to eye. In this case, Rocket Raccoon believes that Nebula isn't enough payment for their efforts. So he steals some power cells/power batteries, or whatever it is that fuels the Sovereign planet.

Here’s where the Ravagers come into play, as Ayesha hires them to capture the Guardians of the Galaxy. But then things get even more complicated.
