Beast and Petrie were walking out of the tower talking about Petrie's training to become a green lantern. "look, this is a big mistake, I can't be one of you guys, I'm a coward I run away from fights, sometimes I even get scared of my own shadow." Petrie stated trying to change Beasts' mind about making him a lantern. "well we're just gonna have to change that now won't we." replied Beast. Petrie sighed and then said "why are you so determined to make me a green lotus" "lantern" Beast corrected "whatever, why is it so important that I become one". "because that ring belonged to Sotaru." beast started "He sent the ring to find a new lantern and the ring chose you, and the ring never would have chosen you if it didn't think you would make a good green lantern". "yeah but" Petrie started but was interrupted by Beast "let me put it this way" started Beast as he turned to face Petrie "either you become a green lantern, or I can bash your skull in with a rock, your choice." "I can be a green lantern." Petrie nervously replied right away. "so when's this training supposed to begin?" Petrie asked "right now" said Beast, just then Beast punched Petrie in the stomach causing him to fall to his to his knees and grab his stomach in pain. "what was that for?" Petrie grunted in pain "that was your first two lessons. Lesson 1 never let your guard down and lesson 2 don't trust anyone." Beast explained "here man let me help you up." said Beast as he reached a hand out to Petrie "thanks." replied Petrie as he took Beast's hand to stand up. When Petrie was finally up Beast punched him again but this time in the head knocking him to the ground. "what were lessons one and two?" beast said to Petrie who was trying to get off the ground. "want some help man?" Beast asked. "no thanks, I don't wanna get punched again." Petrie replied while getting up. "there you go now you're getting the hang of things." said Beast "come on, lets go see how your friends are doing."

Back at the at the mess hall….

Katra and Ducky were waiting outside for Petrie and Beast to arrive. "are you sure they're coming?" Ducky asked Katra "yeah, the trial ended so they should be hear any minute." replied Katra. Just then Petrie and Beast appeared and approached the two. "there you two are, I was wondering when you guys were going to show up." said Katra. Ducky then noticed that Petrie had a black eye "what happened to your eye?" she asked "Beast punched me." replied Petrie "well are you okay?" asked Ducky in a slightly worried tone "yeah I'm fine." answered Petrie. "Damn it Beast" started Katra "you know you can't go around beating people up like that.". "hey this was different." replied Beast "How?" asked Katra "because this was training." "excuse me?" Katra asked in shock "yeah, I'm gonna be the one that trains him". "what he'd do to deserve that?" Katra asked in a somewhat nervous tone "I just thought I'd be the best one to train him." replied Beast. "But that's Killowog's job." stated Katra " I'm sure he'll be okay with it." said Beast "come on lets go get Killowog and their friend." finished Beast as he started to walk towards the infirmary. "fine, come on guys." said Katra as Petrie and Ducky followed. "sorry by the way Ducky." Katra whispered to Ducky as they continued walking "for what?" asked Ducky "I lied about how Petrie was going to be alright.
