Within the Eternal Echo, the Guardians found Drax trapped in an agonizing vision of his family. Through the team's persistence, Drax realized the truth and sacrificed his illusion by killing the fake forms of his wife and daughter.
The Guardians found themselves in an empty Eternal Echo, as Warlock had warned. When I called out to Mantis, there was no good response, but Rocket triggered something with his words nearby. I spotted Drax's shadow ahead and started running.
Drax appeared to be in a state of grave agony, caught between the love for his family and the reality of the team. The Guardians began the difficult task of convincing him that what he saw ahead wasn't real.
Drax looked ready to be convinced, but his confusion was visible as his family stood right before his eyes. The whole team put their hearts into reaching him, trying their best to pull him back from the brink.
Drax finally started walking toward his family with a look of grim determination. He moved close to them, and for a moment, it felt like he might give in to the promise of the illusion.
He hugged his wife and daughter for the last time, knowing he would never see them again. In a brutal act of will, he stabbed both forms, and the fake projections of his family began to dissolve.
The shape-shifting alien from the Quarantine Zone was revealed as the source of the deception. It took on the form of an alternative, darker version of Warlock to fight him, resulting in a massive explosion.
The scene shifted outside Warlock's nest. The team stood together, talking with Drax as he tried to express the crushing weight of the grief he had felt while trapped in that false promise.
Peter was more interested in why the creature looked like Warlock, and that is when Warlock said cause it was him. He appeared with a brand new outfit and a different face, though the original look definitely had its own charm.
Warlock stepped out of his nest and began walking ahead with renewed purpose. The rest of the Guardians followed closely behind as Mantis mentioned that it was finally time to leave this place behind.
I'll show what happens next later.
I personally took all the screenshots from my play and I used a logo of the game from online to use in the thumbnail.
