Peter Quill distracted
Ronan the Accuser by dancing, long enough for
Drax to destroy Ronan's Cosmi-Rod, exposing the
Power Stone. Quill grabbed the stone, but was overwhealmed by its power.
As it started to destroy him, the other Guardians took his hands, sharing the burden of the power between them, allowing them to use its power to destroy Ronan, before returning the Stone to the
Orb.
