At the same time, several Necro-Soldiers had finished assembling an energy cannon and aimed its barrel at the ship.
Star-Lord saw this through the cockpit windshield, and his expression changed. He hurriedly yanked the control lever, and the ship sharply veered aside. The thick green energy beam fired by the cannon passed just beneath the ship and struck the canyon opposite, exploding violently. A large section of the rock wall collapsed, and countless fragments and clouds of dust blanketed the canyon overhead.

Star-Lord piloted the Milano swiftly out of the area. After circling around a mountain, he completely escaped the Necro cannon fire.
Just as Star-Lord was laughing triumphantly, the ship, which had slowed while turning, suddenly jolted violently. It then lost control and rose rapidly upward as though some force were holding it aloft.
Seeing water spraying wildly across the windshield, Star-Lord instantly realized what had happened. They had been hit by a column of water from a high-pressure underground spring erupting below!
Although Morag's current environment was no longer plagued by constant earthquakes and tsunamis as it had been during its destruction, it was still extremely harsh, and the crust remained highly active.
The immense pressure underground erupted from time to time, blasting columns of water dozens or even hundreds of
