"We attach our feelings to the moment when we were hurt, endowing it with immortality. And we let it assault us every time it comes to mind. It travels with us, sleeps with us, hovers over us while we make love, and broods over us while we die. Our hate does not even have the decency to die when those we hate die-for it is a parasite sucking OUR blood, not theirs. There is only one remedy for it. [forgiveness]

Metropolis...

Carter Hall sat at his desk surfing the internet. He was in search of answers he discovered something heinous criminals were for some strange reason being killed, dying under suspicious circumstances or going missing and the police were covering it up. "What hell is going on?" Carter asked himself. perplexed what amazed him even more was that he couldn't see the connections before typing in the name of Alan Scott his former friend and colleague The Green Lantern. Suddenly he heard a loud crash outside that sounded like glass break he slowly got up he picked up his weapon.

He cautiously walked down the hall he found the broken window who ever it was was in a hurry they didn't seem to care about discretion. As he found himself at the memorial area. He saw that the case with the former Green Lantern's ring and lantern missing. "What the Hell?" He asked shocked. Suddenly someone hit him on the back of head. It was Davis Bloome. Davis wore a white T Shirt, green pants, and white tennis shoes.

He held the green Lantern in his right hand which he used to knock out Carter and the ring in his left hand. He looked down at Carter who was wearing a white long sleeved dress shirt with black plants and shoes. All Davis could say with sadness and regret in his heart was "I'm sorry." But just when he was about to leave Clark came rushing in his new outfit and pushed Davis sending him flying against the wall knocking him out. A few hours later Davis woke up after being splashed with a bucket of water.

"Wake up already!" Carter yelled pissed off.

"Oh my god!" Davis yelled as he woke up tied to a black rolling chair. He then took some deep heavy breaths and looked at Clark who was holding the bucket "Cold water Clark? Are you serious." He asked a little insulted.

"How are you alive Davis? Tell me how are you? Are you and Doomsday one again?" Clark asked these questions raising his voice with violent furry.

Davis simply stared at Clark and Carter and said "Yes and no."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Carter asked leaning against a book shelf his arms crossed.

Davis then began to explain. "I was reunited with the beast which brought me back when that happened my sanity was restored and I realized what I had done to Jimmy..." He paused for a moment. "and Chloe."

"Why were you trying to steal Alan's ring and lantern?" Carter asked abruptly.

"I need it." Davis answered mumbling.

"For what Davis?" Clark asked his arms crossed looking down at Davis.

"I need it to stop someone far worse than I or my father Zod could ever be." Davis answered.

"Who is it you need to stop?" Carter asked taking extreme interest in what Davis was saying as if he knew something that Clark didn't.

Davis paused for a minute but not because of the cold water it was out of fear. "His name is Sinestro."

Carter became struck with fear as if he heard the devil himself had busted out of hell "Impossible..." he paused in disbelief he then picked up what he was about to say "Sinestro is dead he died on krypton years ago Alan saw to that."

Davis looked at him his body still shaking. "Carter trust me he's not so dead and neither is..." Just then they heard Bart and Arthur scream.

"What the hell was that?" Carter asked shocked. He turned to Clark real fast fear infecting his voice. "Clark were you followed back here?"

Davis was trembling in fear all he could say was "Oh god Clark what did you do?" His voice began to rise in frustration as he shouted. "What the hell did you do?"

Clark turned to Carter equally shocked not knowing what the hell was going on. "What no of course not. I mean I stopped a mugging on my way here but that was it."

"We need to get ready Clark." Carter spoke as if they were about to face a frightening beast worse than Doomsday as he grabbed his weapon.

"Ha ready we need to get the fuck out of here!" Davis yelled at the top of his lungs. Just then the two wooded doors flew open and Bart and Arthur came flying through them.

As Clark looked gazed at Sinestro's face a feeling of shock and fear came upon him. All he could say was "My god."

One year earlier on the planet Oa...

In the space sector 0000 at the center of the universe lies the head base of the Lantern Corp a magnificent green planet protected by a energy to prevent any and all attacks from any enemy. The Green Lanterns act as the police force for the universe. Each lantern is to protect their assigned sector of the universe. There are over 3600 sectors of known space with over 7200 green lanterns from across the universe working under the guardians. The guardians are the leaders and creators of Green Lantern Corpse and are the most advanced race in the entire universe not even the kryptonians could compare to them. The function of the Green Lanterns is to protect the universe.

Davis Bloome woke with a gasp of air. He found himself in a room surrounded by what seemed like hundreds of green cloaked figures with blue hands. One of the cloaked figures spoke with great self pride"Davis Bloome also known as Doomsday. You have been brought back to life and reunited with your other half to receive a tremendous offer."

Davis Bloome was nervous the last thing he remembered was trying to kill Chloe in a moment of selfish rage and then getting impaled by none other than Jimmy Olson and yet there he was in black pants and shoes shirtless surrounded by an alien council. "What offer?" Davis asked nervously.

"If you agree to become a green lantern and to serve and protect the earth you will made into a full kryptonian. We will free you of the beast known as Doomsday but not by black kryptonite we will give a serum that alter your genetic make up making you pure kryptonian. By doing this we will give you the powers and abilities of your fellow kryptonians and by becoming a lantern you will have one of the most powerful weapons in the universe at your disposal.

"And if I refuse?" Davis asked curiously. Suddenly electricity came out of the floor zapping him. He screamed out in pain. Then the pain stopped he fell to the ground gasping once again.

"If you refuse us that will become your hell for all eternity you will have no absolution no forgiveness you will know only pain and suffering." One of the cloaked figures said sharply.

"Now Davis Bloome what say you salvation or damnation? Your choice." Another guardian said. Davis just stood there and pondered the idea of being able to right so many wrongs.

A few months later near Earth...

Kara raced toward earth determined to make it back. When suddenly she found herself trapped in a green bubble. "What the hell!" She screamed. She then tried to bang on the bubble. Then she turned to her right and saw a man with buzzed black hair, a green mask covering his eyes, green glowing boots, wrist gauntlets, and vest with a white circle containing a symbol of a green lantern this man also had on long black sleeves and pants with black gloves. "Oh god not another lantern." Kara said exhausted. "Okay what did I do now?" She asked clearly pissed off.

"Well for one thing you were going 500 thousands light years in a 400 thousand light year zone." The lantern explained.

"You got to be kidding me there is no sign in the solar system that says that!" The blond bombshell yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Listen lady I don't make the laws I just enforce them to the best of my abilities." The man said to her firmly.

"Yeah I bet in the mean time you lanterns enjoy driving everyone else crazy." Kara said raising her voice.

"Okay how about this I'm going to take you to the nearest holding planet so you cool off." The Lantern said with a smirk on his face.

"You wouldn't dare." Kara said even more pissed off then she was before.

"Oh I can and I will blondy." He said with equal frustration. With that he carried her off away from earth.

"This is bullshit lantern!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Yeah yeah blondy and its not lantern its Davis Bloome." He said this barely listening to her.

Mean while on a desert planet near the ruins of krypton...

A small robot scanned the area it was a circle shape and it combed the entire planet along with others for years on end. Until it finally found one scrap of metal the robot sucked up the scrap of metal and flew up into the sky. It flew for a very long time until it reached a golden ship large enough for an army. I boarded the ship and placed itself on a table in room filled with cryogenic containers of various sizes. Until one opened it was a cloaked figure with a female voice. She emptied the robot and picked up the scrap of metal bearing the Brainiac symbol and with that she said "At last we are one step closer to freeing our lord and master Sinestro."

Back on earth in metropolis...

Dead shot and his crew were robbing a bank he fired his revolver into the ceiling. "Everybody on ground now!" He yelled. "And nobody try and be a hero!" Just then he heard all his men scream as they were thrown to wall getting knocked out. Then he heard a woosh sound and he pointed his gun at Davis getting Davis's face only one inch space between the barrel. "Heh you know what salvation and damnation have in common son? You gotta die to reach both of them." With that he pulled the trigger smiling as he thought the the bullet would kill the man in green but the bullet rick a sheid back through his gun and grazed his left cheek. The force sent Deadshot flying across the room and to the wall. Before passing out he heard Davis say something. What Davis was said was.

"I know." Then Davis thought to himself. "But which have I achieved?"
