Looking back on this story, I figure that it has way too much potential to be left as a one-shot. So, I decided to keep going with this one! I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter, and I'll provide a list of what I plan to update next at the end of this chapter.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or Green Lantern: The Animated Series!

Meeting with the Council

Anakin and the others were still in shock over this new development. Barriss had gain new powers from some weird orange ring? This seemed almost too good to be true. However, they couldn't deny that Barriss definitely had some good control over these new abilities. It was almost instinctual to the young girl.

They knew that at least one of these new powers is flight. Why? Because Barriss was currently flying alongside the speeder our group was using to get back to the Jedi Temple. She was also, for some reason, cradling a small orange lantern (power battery) in her arms like a baby.

"I still can't believe you gained new powers just by putting on a ring." Ahsoka said in disbelief.

"Well, stranger things have happened in this war." Barriss countered. "Although, I must admit, it did come as somewhat of a surprise."

"I wonder if there are other ring colors out there." Anakin added.

"There are."

The others looked at Barriss in shock. All except Anakin, since he's the one driving.

"The ring told me that there is a ring for each color in the emotion spectrum. Each one is fueled by a different emotion. My orange ring is fueled by Avarice, the red ring is Rage, yellow instils Fear, green is driven by one's Willpower, blue burns bright with Hope, indigo is the tribe of Compassion, and violet is the light of Love."

This really threw our potential lanterns for a loop. They couldn't believe that the rings themselves were powered by emotions like those ones. If someone were to get their hands on a ring like that one, there's no telling just what could happen in the war! However, even though the orange ring is fueled by greed like Barriss said, she seems to have not given in to that greed.

Either that, or hers was fueled by her own desires. After all, greed and desire are, in a sense, two halves of the same coin. This would explain why Barriss wasn't trying to make everything hers. But they were kinda creeped out by the way she was cradling that lantern.

Finally, they made it back to the temple without incident. But they were surprised to see various members of the Jedi High Council waiting for them. These members included Jedi Grandmaster Yoda, Mace Windu, a fellow Togruta named Shaak Ti, Luminara Unduli, and even Jedi Master Oppo Ranthesis. He's a reptilian species known as a Thespessian, and one of the oldest members of the Jedi High Council.

(Ahsoka: Nerd alert!)

(Barriss: Dude, you need to get out more.)

"Welcome, Barriss Offee. Expecting your presence, we have been." Yoda said. "Changed greatly, you have."

It took all of Barriss' restraint to keep from lashing out at the Jedi before her. She didn't trust her voice, so she just settled for nodding in greeting. That's when she noticed Mace staring intently at her Power Battery.

"You'd be wise to keep your paws off of my orange shiny!" Barriss warned.

"Your what-now?" Mace asked.

Not my best work, I know. But next chapter, we'll see Barriss in action as an Orange Lantern. I've also posted a picture of her as an Orange Lantern on my Deviantart account. Feel free to check it out when you get the chance.
