Hello! I had first designed Taishakuten as a Red Lantern who raged when Ashura-oh married Shashi, but then I found out he was better off yellow. Join Taishakuten the Yellow/Green Lantern as he becomes an experiment for the Sinestro Corps and, later, the Green Lantern Corps and participates in the War Of Light, ultimately culminating in the Blackest Night. And don't worry, I've planned out a happy ending for him and Ashura-oh!

But for now, this one is a nth rendition of Hal Jordan and Thaal Sinestro's story, told from Parallax's POV.

A yellow entity that was made of living fear. It created terror into anything it came in contact with. Caused entire civilizations to destroy themselves out of paranoia. Their fear was eaten by this creature. And that creature was called Parallax.

—Kyle Rayner

Yeah, that's me. I'm that Parallax he's talking about. I know I sound like a girl, but, oh, believe me, I'm a boy, the second born out of 7 sorta-siblings. We were born out of this order:

Ion, my big brother

Me

Predator, my first sister

Ophidian, my other brother

Butcher, my third brother

Adara, my second sister

Proselyte, my youngest brother

For some STRANGE reason, all seven of us sounded like girls. Why, oh why, I wondered, if there were only two girls in the family, then why were all of our voices feminine? But I stopped wondering when I discovered a tether had formed between me and Ion. He, too, had seemed to notice it as well, and we made love, not knowing that it was an atrocity, going nonstop for 777 days and 777 nights. There was also a prophecy that foretold if the representatives of Will and Fear ever ceased fighting, they would come together to stop the everlasting war between good and evil, and fill the Four-Dimensional World, the internet world harboring the entire fictional omniverse, with peace and light. Back then, I was the representative of Fear and Ion was the representative of Will, so this relationship could bring nothing but eternal peace to the 4D. However, the supreme powers were against us being anything but adversaries. We didn't care. It didn't matter what the powers that be thought or wanted, he belonged to me, as I belonged to him.

Adrift and drowning within...

Forever Love.

Enraged with our relationship, the Presence, the most superior of the supreme powers that ruled the DC multiverse, took a small shard of our sister Predator's violet light, and created a sexy being out of it to seduce any of us, but he had unwittingly made that being evil, too. That being was known as Shachi, the goddess of beauty; being a source of jealousy for long because there was no one who did not long for her. She lured Ion into the depths of her evil lair, then cast a net over him. Ion fought, but, taken by surprise and in Shachi's element, he was overcome at last, and Shachi pulled him beneath the dark purple waves of lust.

I was worried about Ion's safety and scanned the Four-Dimensional World to find him, but nobody, not even the almighty Anti-Spiral of the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann universe, could locate Ion. After 777 days and 777 nights of surveillance, we finally found him, taken captive by Shachi at the harshest corners of the Earth, in the eternal winter of the North where even the Life Entity's fearsome light dimmed. Predator was enraged and she shredded the hell out of Shachi, however, a small shard of Shachi's dark purple light managed to escape to Earth and got stuck in the heart of a young infant known as Carol Ferris, one who would later be known as the Evil One, the Weevil Bun, the One Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered, the Freak, the Center Of Evil In The Universe, the Thing From The Underworld, Satan, the Great Injustice, the Bad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands, the Damsel Of Darkness, the Mistress Of Malevolence. And then, me and Ion were forcibly separated by the Presence, and I was sealed inside a box on Maltus, the home world of the beings that eventually evolved into the Guardians of the Universe. Larfleeze and a few other aliens planned to make the biggest heist the universe has ever seen and raided Maltus. From the planet, they grabbed the box, which was worth an entire star system, and an old map that lead them to the orange light, which was the Orange Power Battery, fueled by avarice, the element of Ophidian. When Larfleeze and his companions reached Okaara and found the symbol of the orange light, they fought for control of the Battery. The Guardians and their Manhunter servants attacked the palace. Many Manhunters and Guardians were killed in the battle, as well as one of the claimers to the orange light. The battle ended with the Guardians making a deal, that they give the box back to them and that they will let one of them have the orange light and they will never enter the Vega system, the system that holds Okaara, ever. Apparently, after this, the Guardians imprisoned me inside the Green Central Power Battery, using fear's opposite energy, willpower. I had lain dormant for billions of years, my true nature hidden by the Guardians to prevent anyone from trying to free me. Being yellow in color, I eventually came to be referred to as simply "the yellow impurity." But while staying hidden, I had set another plan into motion, for all I wanted was to fill the Four-Dimensional World with peace and light. All I needed was an opportunity.

That was when a certain young man caught my eye. Thaal Sinestro of Korugar, one who was selected by the Guardians of the Universe to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps for his honor and fearlessness. At his height, he was considered to be the greatest of all the Green Lanterns, and Sector 1417 was almost entirely devoid of crime and lawlessness under his vigilant protection. The Guardians had never erred in their judgment before, and he would later be considered one of their greatest mistakes. His prowess was so great that he was assigned as a mentor to a number of rookie lanterns showing similar promise...the greatest of which would be his last student, Hal Jordan, who was born in Coast City to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, the middle child of three children. He lived with his older brother Jack and a younger brother Jim. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. At a very young age, he had to face his greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash right before his eyes. Despite his family's wishes, he followed in his father's footsteps and eventually joined the United States Air Force on his 18th birthday, turning up that very morning outside the Armed Forces Career Center, before it had even opened. Many years later, a dying alien named Abin Sur, member of the Green Lantern Corps, crash-landed his starship in the Californian desert. Having selected a replacement officer for his position, the power ring chose Hal Jordan for his ability to overcome great fear. The ring and its abilities were explained to him, and he inherited the mantle of Green Lantern. Acting as a galactic police officer, it was his job to serve and protect all life in Sector 2814. He would soon learn that there were another 3599 Green Lanterns across the universe, all monitored and empowered by mystical creatures called the Guardians. Hal received training from some of the best the Corps had to offer, including drill sergeant Kilowog, and his mentor Sinestro.

Ganthet had specifically requested that Jordan and Sinestro train together, and they quickly became great friends. No, they were more than friends. I had gotten my opportunity, and all I needed to do was paint any of them in yellow to represent Fear.

However, things took a certain turn for the worse when I discovered THIS. Y'wanna know what I found out? Well, all ye Sinhal fangirls, the following descriptions contain your lemon-'n'-lime OTP cheating on their destined partners for life AKA each other, so get ready to receive a Red Lantern ring each, my brother Butcher will provide 'em for you.

Throughout his time in the Corps, Abin Sur was Thaal Sinestro's best friend and trusted confidante, so much so that they considered each other to be brothers. One day Abin took Sinestro to see his home planet, Ungara, where he met Abin's family. Sinestro soon became infatuated with Abin's sister Arin, and the pair quickly fell deeply in love. Eventually Arin and Sinestro wed, and Sinestro moved back to his home planet with his new bride. While on his home planet he realized that if he stretched his willpower to the limit he could make his world a paradise, an example of what a Green Lantern could really do. He began monitoring communications, populations and heartbeats so that nothing on his home planet would happen without his knowledge. He also created robots out of his willpower to patrol the bustling city of Korugar. Within a few years Sinestro controlled the whole planet, and was eventually named dictator for life. Sinestro soon had a baby daughter with Arin which they named Soranik. However after threats to the baby were made by disgruntled civilians, Arin gave the baby up for adoption. Sinestro began passing his teachings and philosophies to the new recruits of the Lantern Corps. Arin would begin to resent her husband for what he was doing to his people. Eventually Abin Sur died on a mission and his replacement from Earth named Hal Jordan—yeah, the one I was talking about earlier—became Sinestro's new partner. In the same way he did with Abin, Sinestro found a quick more-than-just-a-friend in Jordan, much to my delight before I discovered the ugly truth. When Sinestro brought Jordan to his home world, he was appalled by what Sinestro was doing to his people.

With the arrival of a new Lantern on their side, the people of Korugar became restless and began rebelling against their overlord. Sinestro was stricken by grief when Arin was killed by a child suicide bomber after his head. Hal Jordan soon reported Sinestro's misconduct to the Guardians of the Universe, causing Sinestro to be stripped of his ring and banished to the Anti-Matter Universe. Other Green Lanterns who believed in Sinestro followed him into the Anti-Matter Universe. Sinestro made a pact with the Weaponers of Qward, who supplied him with a new ring. This ring would channel the yellow light of fear, making Sinestro the first Yellow Lantern. His followers in the Green Lantern Corps would also wield these rings as they became the first members of the Sinestro Corps, wielders of the yellow light. Now all I needed to do was play matchmaker for Jordan and Sinestro, so that the prophecy would come true. So I decided to use Jordan as my first host, only to be expelled as fast as possible. And then, I discovered another horrible secret:As Green Lantern, Hal Jordan patrolled the galaxy and took on many missions in space. He continued to spend his time at home working at Ferris Aircraft, where he romantically pursued his boss, the lovely Carol Ferris. Yeah, she's that girl with the dark purple heart. The first time I laid my eye-like orbs on Carol Ferris, the first thing I saw was Shachi. I wanted to get rid of her, once and for all.
