so the groot weren't handing over their planet
To ronan the accuser without a fight.
I am groot.
The natives are unwilling to give up their freedom
Or their land for your mining operations.
Ronan will not be defied.
Burn it. Burn it all.
I am groot.
I...
I am groot! I am groot.
We are groot!
groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot!
Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot! Groot!
nah, my bud groot
Wasn't turning tail like a coward.
He was rushing back to save the world pod,
The source of all life for every group that ever existed.
as soon as the surface cools,
Gut the planet of all its minerals.
the other groots didn't survive the attack.
But my bud had saved their future.
The species would survive.
Or not.
I am groot.
I am groot? But as long as there was still one groot left standing--
I am groot! ...The world pod and his entire species--
I am groot. ...Would live on inside him.
I am groot!
What is that? I don't know.
But let's grab it and get outta here before ronan finds us.
And that was the start of a beautiful friendship.
I am groot.
