"Get back here so I can kill you!" Arisia yelled she chased a laughing Harry her hair a bright fluorescent pink.
"That doesn't sound too good for my health plus pink looks good on you."
"I will kill you!"
"Green lantern of sector 2815 please respond!"
Arisia immediately stopped chasing the annoying red lantern. "Salaak what's the matter?" It was the lantern who managed all archives for lanterns.
"There was an attack on a lantern she's dead and the Guardians are calling all the lanterns to Oa."
"Ok I'll be right there." Before she could leave Salaak spoke again.
"They also requested you bring the other 2 lanterns. Salaak out." He informed her before blinking out.
"Wow I don't think the Guardians have ever called all the lanterns together before." She whispered to herself worried.
"Everything alright?" Inquire Harry floating over.
"Yeah the Guardians are calling a meeting of all the lanterns and they want you two to come along." She told him with a worried look in her eyes.
"I'm guessing that's not normal?"
"I may be the newest lantern but I have never heard of the Guardians calling all of them together like this."
"Well then let's get going."
"Oh and Harry one more thing."
"What's that."
"This!" She shouted kicking him in the shin. "That's for my hair."
"Ow!"
Running through the halls trying to find her way to the meeting hall she ran into another fork in the road. "Why is this place so confusing!" She shouted in frustration. Before her ring started pulling her along. "Wait up, hold on." She called barely managing to keep up with the ring. The ring led her to a large door realizing that the ring was leading her to hall she quietly opened the door hoping to sneak in without anyone noticing.
"How did we get here before you?" Asked a voice behind her. She jumped and glared at the two lanterns that stood out greatly among all the green. Their red and orange a stark contrast to all the green.
"Not funny!" She whisper shouted turning around to face the front only to bump into someone. "Sorry." She apologized before seeing who it was.
"It's alright." Dismissed Hal Jordan. "But cutting it a bit close aren't you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. She just flushed in embarrassment it would be just her luck to make a fool out of herself in front of her crush.
"...Needless to say we are all shock and saddened by the news of Ardakian Trawl's death. She was a brave and gallant green lantern and her deeds will long be remembered. But we must put aside our grievances for the threat at hand." holding up his hand the Guardian released Ardakian's ring which floated to the middle of the room projecting an image down. "We know from her ring that her attackers were shadow demons. Soulless creatures from the antimatter universe. We have not seen these creatures since the great crisis. They came from a rift in our sun." the image changed to show the surface of the Oan sun and the shadow demons emerging. "a portal that led directly from their universe to ours."
"We take it this was no mere anomaly?" asked Sinestro doubting they would all be called together if it was.
"No, we were able to make a detailed analysis through her ring." face becoming even more grim he continued. "There is no mistake the demons were sent by Krona." the lanterns started murmuring in worry they all knew who Krona was.
"I'm sorry but who is Krona?" asked Harry being one of the only ones lost on the Identity of the being.
"Krona is a former Guardian who went against the laws of the universe and created the antimatter universe billions of years ago." the image in the ring changed once more showing a very tall Guardian who crossed his arms and glared at everything. "He nearly destroyed all of creation."
Another Guardian started to speak. "As punishment he was turned into disembodied energy and scattered throughout the cosmos." the Guardian flew through the image turning it into smoke which scattered to an invisible wind. "But it seems has reconstituted himself in the antimatter universe. Bringing the shadow demons under his control."
Once more another Guardian spoke. "We sense this is only the beginning that Krona means to use our sun the very center of the universe as a portal to attack us." several lanterns flew through space to the sun. "we have sent a squadron of green lanterns to the sun to monitor the situation. They will be setting up observation platforms to conserve energy." the lanterns started to build massive towers to watch the sun.
"Meanwhile all important documents will be moved from Oa to the broome-kane star cluster for safe keeping. We will need all lanterns to keep a close watch on the sun while we evacuate."
All the Lanterns' eyes widened none of them in all the years, for some decades they had been in the green Corps had ever heard of the Guardians leaving Oa. "We have already removed the book of Oa our most sacred text next shall be the library."
"You have got to be kidding me." Kilowog muttered in disbelief and no one could blame him the Guardians were always seen to be fearless. And now they were so worried they were evacuating the planet.
"Surely you're overestimating this threat, these precautions seem rather extraordinary."
"We take this threat very seriously Sinestro, he vowed to destroy Oa and we have no doubt he will try."
"I get that but why are me and Zord here not that we're not willing to help but I don't see why we were called there is not much we could do that the rest of the Corps could not."
"Your rings unlike our own do not use willpower. Krona was there when we harnessed it he knows how to defend against it. Unlike your own rings which he has never encountered before. We are hoping that he will be caught off guard long enough for us to defeat him." He then addressed the rest of the Corps. "We recommend you charge your rings immediately as we will be removing the battery soon."
"Let those who worship evil's might beware my power green lanterns light." Laira chanted charging her ring before flying off. With two more lanterns stepping up.
Arisia watched Laira fly off being shoved ahead by another lantern. "Sorry about this kid, I like to train the recruits a little before having them face armageddon."
"It is a little overwhelming." She admitted.
"Yeah well nothing like the end of all life as we know it to get you used to being a lantern." Zord joked. "Next week they face the evil versions of themselves from another universe for a warm up."
"Been there done that." Hal dismissed with a wave of his.
Harry chuckled before stopping "Oh my god he's not kidding." he said after seeing the look on his face.
The line moved again shoving Arisia into Hal. "You ok?" he asked understanding if she was nervous.
"Fine." she blushed before glaring at the other two who were silently laughing at her. "It's just that two months ago I was sitting in class trying to figure out a physics problem, now I'm facing the end of the universe."
"Yeah that's the way it is." Hal agreed remembering how he got his ring.
"But the thing is why me, I'm just a student, a nobody really." She asked fiddling with her ring.
"You not a nobody you're my friend which automatically makes you the second coolest person to exist." Harry said comforting her putting one arm around her shoulder. "Sorry Zord you're number three." he apologized to the turian.
Hal chuckled in amusement. "I'm sure Avra felt the same."
"Avra?" she had not heard of him.
"The first green lantern." stepping forward he moved with the line once more. "It's one of the first stories you learn. I guess we got a little side tracked." He said thinking of recent events.
"To quote scripture: the first one given a ring was not the first lantern. The first was Avra." Hal then went to explain the first story of the book of Oa. How the last of the first four lantern rings instead of choosing one of the many warrior that had gathered. It instead choose a simple scribe someone who had no battle experience. About how when the lanterns were first dispatched to fight against a massive armada he was nervous and how the other lanterns had to protect him. Until one of them died and they were forced to retreat and hid in an asteroid. "The other two wanted to give up and flee. Believing even with the power the Guardians gave them they were no match for such an army. But Avra had more faith in the Guardians refusing to give up, he charged out into battle and fought until he did something amazing. He created the first construct ever to be made. Using the sword forged by his ring he tore through the invading army. The other two seeing what he had done had gained renewed faith and attacked making their own constructs. Together they destroyed the army. In time new lanterns were chosen, new ring were forged and avra taught them what he had learned. But eventually even he could no longer fight and his ring was passed on. What was once a unique innovation became a way for all, a way of will." holding his ring up he finished the story. "Believe me they each have quite a history."
"So being a green lantern basically means being too stupid to know when to quit?" Zord asked.
Hal laughed. "Yeah pretty much."
Arisia gazed down at her ring in awe wondering what history this ring had. "Come on missy it ain't a wedding ring." looking up she saw Kilowog standing there.
"Right sorry." apologized before rushing up the steps to charge her ring.
"She the new one?" Kilowog asked Hal.
"Arisia meet Kilowog our kindly drill instructor." Hal introduced.
"Hello." She said meekly intimidated by his huge size.
"First real combat?" he asked looking her over.
"Yeah." she admitted. It was true, sure she dealt with a couple pirates. But that was it no real threat to her and even then she had both Harry and Zord backing her up who could easily deal with what she could not.
"Don't worry rookie, this won't be half as bad as bootcamp." he said teasing her.
"Well then I would hate to see boot camp." Harry told them.
"Really I would love to." Zord said typical turian military mentality shining through.
"In brightest day in black night…."
Leaving the power station they made their way to the satellites orbiting the sun. "I have heard of Kilowog."
"Really what horror stories have they told you?" Asked Hal a small smile on his face it was always funny hearing the rumors about him. Some of the older lanterns went out of their way to make up stories about him to scare new recruits.
"I heard someone died."
Hal roared with laughter. "Don't believe everything you heard kid. Kilowog is a cakewalk compared to Deegan."
"Deegan?" Hal then told her story of how he was the trainer before Kilowog who while extraordinarily hard on recruits he did care for them and the reason he was so hard on them was because he did not want them to die. He would rather they hated him and lived than loved him and die. And that he was also the source of Kilowog's infamous word poozer.
"Wow so Kilowog isn't as scary as he looks?"
"Nah you'll survive Kilowog it only took me about three or four fights. But watch out for his left." He advised.
"Sounds like fun. Hope you enjoy it Arisia." Harry teased.
"I hate you both."
"Thank you." Zord said putting his hand over his heart, with the turian equivalent of a smile.
"Why don't you three go head I want to take a look around." Harry told them he did not like cramped spaces.
As Harry flew off the others looked at him strangely. "Harry has never liked cramped spaces something to do with his past I think." Zord explained it was something he had realized over the years he had known him.
They shrugged and continued on it was his business. An hour later they joined him outside patrolling. "Any action?" Hal asked flying up to the red lantern.
"Nothing big only about three demons easily dealt with."
"Good." Hal said he was glad that nothing had gone wrong but at the same time the waiting was killing him. "Shame you missed the rest of story ti- look out!" Hal used his ring to shove Harry out of the way before blasting a demon with his ring. It took several seconds for a single blast to kill the demons. Taking two of them out. Hal advised them to extend their shields.
"Right." Arisia nodded nervous. If Harry was caught of guard what chance did she have.
Several dozen demons had emerged from the sun and started to circle the lanterns. "Any ideas?" Zord asked looking at the demons.
"Yea one." Harry told them.
"And what's that?" Hal asked trying to keep an eye on as many demons as possible.
He smirked "Hit em till they die!" he yelled before attacking them.
Good plan." Hal said joining him.
"Simple but effective." Sinestro agreed joining the fight. "Behind you!" he called blasting a demon that was sneaking up on Arisia.
She was doing fairly well throughout the fight defending herself even taking out a couple of demons but eventually her inexperience in fight got her hit.
"Ahhh!" She cried out in pain the demon tearing through her shields hitting her but they did their job they stopped the demon from killing her outright.
"ARISIA!" Harry shouted rushing over to her side blasting any demon that came near. But like sharks in water they smelled blood and circled for the kill.
"Get back!" He hollered blasting them but they just kept attacking soon he could not hold them off anymore forming a shield around them. Soon all he could see was darkness as the demons slowly broke through his shield. It seems the Guardians were right the demons were made to kill green lanterns as they were nowhere near as effect on his shield as the theirs.
Finally one of them broke through and hit Arisia giving her a severe burn across the chest. That was the breaking point for Harry. "I said get BACK!" He roared his shield turning into a wave of pure destruction eliminating over a dozen demons at once. Several dozen more attacked hoping to taking him out fast. He opened his mouth to roar but no sound came out instead it was a stream of plasma and napalm. Easily destroying half of the demons Harry's aura had also changed before it was a bright red similar to the green lanterns. Now it was more like a cloak of fire burning anything that came near. Harry attacked every demon that came out of sun easily destroy over a hundred. Snapping out of his daze Sinestro grabbed Arisia and flew her into a nearby lantern station.
Waking was a disorienting feeling she felt like she had been hit by two buses going in the opposite direction.
"Careful you took quite the hit." turning her head she saw Sinestro standing by a window looking out at the sun.
Suddenly her eyes widened as the day's events came back to her. "What happened with Krona and demons and is Harry alright she asked the last thing she remembered being Harry standing between her and a dozen demons.
"The green lanterns have all gone out to join the fight it seems it won't be too long now till Krona shows." Sinestro informed her. "And as for your boyfriend he is fine if angry."
"He is not my boyfriend!" she nearly shouted at him.
But Sinestro just chuckled. "Ah young love."
"What do you mean angry Harry is always angry?" she asked his earlier words coming back to her. Plus choosing to ignore the second comment.
It seems after you were injured the demons surrounded you. Harry put a shield and it seemed just when it was about to fall he got very angry and roared plasma at the demons vaporizing them. After that he went on a rampage he is still at it three hours later as you can see."he said indicating to the flashes of red coming from around the sun.
"Sinestro!" Hal called phasing into the room. "The sensor just pick up a massive spike in the dead center of the sun."
Staring out a sun in shock Tomar-Re spoke "we have visible confirmation. It is enormous!"
"So I guess this is the blackest night everyone is always talking about huh?" Arisia said staring at the sun in shock as a massive solar flare jumped across the surface.
"No my dear. Merely the dusk."
As the portal from the antimatter universe open a massive wave of energy passed through the area destroying the satellites. Flying down to join the other lanterns they gazed in shock as Krona emerged with a roar standing as tall as the sun. Right up until a red blur slammed into his face sending barely affecting him but affect him it did.
What are you poozers standing around for? Are you gonna let a kid do all the ass kicking?" asked Kilowog before attacking the herd of demons emerging from the sun the other lanterns following in suit.
Harry blasted another herd of demons with his ring annihilating them. "Having fun?" Asked Sinestro as he and Hal flew by.
"Yeah this is amazingly therapeutic." he answered with some his usual cheery tone his rage having come back down to manageable levels but nowhere near gone.
"Thing you can get another shot like before on him? Our ring don't seem to affect him." it seemed he also came ready to fight green lanterns as he did not even notice when the entire Corps blasted him in the chest. Lucky for them they had a red and orange lantern. Who seem far more effect against the demons than the entire Corps.
"No I got lucky and caught him by surprise. He is wary of me now, his demons block at every turn."
"Everyone I got an idea!" Hal called to the others over his ring.
"What is it Jordan I'm a little busy here?" Kilowog asked as he smashed another group of demons.
"We aren't doing anything against Krona no matter what we throw at him. He was ready for us but we weren't for him."
"So what you want us to give up? Not happening!"
"No I think we should use something he wasn't expecting. Two lanterns that aren't green."
"What?"
"Listen those two have done more than the rest of us combine. If we can give them an opening we might be able to send him packing into the sun."
The green lanterns quickly formed a wall with Harry and Zord falling in behind them. "We only got one shot at this let's make it count!" and with that the lanterns charged forward blast any demons that came close. "NOW!" Hal shouted as the punched an opening through to Krona.
Charging forward with a roar the two of them blasted him with all their might using up half their rings charge in the process. But it worked Krona was sent reeling into the sun.
As the lanterns cheered Sinestro noticed something wrong. "NO! NO! NO! NO! Everyone back now." but it was too late Krona brought his hands up and crushed over a hundred lanterns. As their rings flew by the others looked down in grief.
"Wait he is antimatter right?" Arisia asked before continuing. "The only way to destroy antimatter with matter. If we can hit him with something of equal or greater mass we can end this."
"What do you want to do throw a planet at him?" Kilowog asked skeptically.
"Why not? He wants Oa so badly, why don't we give it to him?"
Sinestro and Hal exchanged looks "Kid you just earned your stripes."
She perked up at that before Krona rose behind her with a roar. "Everyone back to Oa. Now!" turning everyone started back to the lantern home world.
Before noticing Harry and Zord staying behind. "Kids what are you doing we need to get out of here."
"You go we can hold him off for as long as possible." Zord said face grim.
Hal was about to object before his face turned serious. "Thank you."
As he flew off Zord turned to Harry, "You got a plan of attack?"
"Yeah! I got a plan. Attack!" he roared before charging the herds of demons.
As the Green Lanterns reached Oa they turned back and saw Krona's approach had slowed to a near stop Harry and Zord doing their job of keeping him busy. "We got to do this in one shot or it's over ok!" every lantern blasted the planet with their rings forming a barrier around the planet as they moved it towards Krona he finally noticed them. But it was too late the planet caught him and started hurling him towards the sun if he was not weakened from his fight with Harry and Zord, plus the hit from them which took him into the sun earlier, maybe he could have escaped but at this point he was too weak. With a final cry of defiance he burned up into nothing.
"While the we rebuild Oa we will be using this asteroid as a base of operations."
"We also have to thank the aid given to us by the Red Lantern Harry Potter and the Orange Lantern Zord. Without them we may not have prevailed this day." Ganthet said pointing to the two foreign lanterns. "And we must not forget the young girls who had the brilliance to use the very planet of the green lanterns to defeat our enemy." the book of Oa glowed before flipping to two new pages, one of Harry and Zord fighting against Krona and another of Arisia leading the charge of pushing the planet at Krona.
"Looks like you guys got your own stories now." Hal whispered to them proudly.
"Does this mean I can skip bootcamp?" she asked hopefully.
"Not a chance poozer." Kilowog said walking up behind her patting her on the back nearly knocking her to the ground.
"Have fun with that." Zord laughed at her. She glared at the laughing turian before turning her glare on Harry who was also laughing.
"I don't know why you two are laughing you going through it as well." Sinestro told them with a slight smirk, stopping their laughter immediately.
"You can't make we aren't Green Lanterns!" Harry stuttered in fear backing away.
"Come on Harry, it will fun." Arisia grinned turn around was fair play.
"Never!" He shouted before turning to Zord. "Run!" they took off hoping to escape however Harry felt something grab his leg. Following the construct he saw Arisia smiling at him. "Let me go!" he ordered pulling on the construct.
"Come on poozers we have a planet to rebuild." Kilowog told the others flying off. "Let's leave the lovebirds." Both Harry and Arisia suddenly appeared on opposite ends of the clearing.
The green lanterns laughed flying off.
"Hey Arisia could you do me a favor?" Harry requested walking up to her.
"What?"
"Could you catch me?" he asked before collapsing to the ground. Arisia rushed up to him in worry looking him over for an unseen injury. Before hearing him snore she gave soft smile he was just exhausted. It sense he had been fighting for over 7 hours straight she used her ring to pick him up and carry him to the impromptu infirmary.
If people complain about Harry's ring doing more damage than a green lantern's against Krona it is because Krona was almost entirely made of yellow energy making green rings way less effective than they should have been against him and the demons. While Harry and Zord do not have that weakness so they can do way more damage to both.
Poor Ghia'ta no one has voted for just her but the pole still going on vote. But I am starting build the romance between Arisia and Harry. So hurry. Also NO HAREM I feel the need to emphasize this as several people asked for that.
No Mogo did not appear that is deliberate as A: Harry and Zord made that unnecessary. B: I'm slightly basing this off the cartoon the animated series.
Thank you to everyone who review.
pappy old guy: thank you i always worry i'm going to fast.
Indigo: i already have an idea for that and no it is not a former criminal yes they are apart of the corps.
