Qward
In the Anti-matter universe of sector -1 on the planet Qward Sinestro and the rest of his corps were getting ready to begin his plan. We then find Sinestro and his second in command Arkillo, discussing the final bits of Sinestro's plan. "We have sent a minority amount of members of the corps to Oa, Sinestro" said Arkillo. "Perfect, the green lanterns won't see what's coming or what's really coming" said Sinestro. Then Nightmare had opened a portal from his dream dimension and exited it in front of Sinestro and Arkillo. "Sinestro" said Nightmare with his devious smile. "Nightmare tell me, what do you have to report?" asked Sinestro. "The majority of your corps, the Anti-Monitor, and his Manhunters are all in my dimension ready for your signal for the real attack on Oa" said Nightmare. "Excellent, now you know the plan, right?" asked Sinestro. "Yes, yes as soon as we exit the dimension we rescue our captured soldiers first while Parallax gets the soldiers on Zamaron. As soon as he's here we attack the lanterns and their central battery. And when it's dead we let Anti-Monitor eat Oa, did I miss anything?" asked and responded Nightmare. "Nope, nothing at all" said Sinestro. Then the Parallax possessed Ghost Rider came into the room interrupting their conversation. "Yeah, but tell me why do you want those soldiers back from Zamaron, if they got captured once they'll get captured again. Tell me are the Star Sapphires stronger or is the Sinestro Corps gone weak" asked Parallax rudely. Then Sinestro put his ring under his chin with an angry look on his face. "I don't know if it's you or Ghost rider talking to me, but if you disrespect me and I'll show that even you and your fearless host your greatest fears" said Sinestro. Parallax then lowered himself and put his hand on his stomach and slowly stood up again. "Now what's wrong?" asked Sinestro. "Ghost Rider is resisting and his hellfire is nearly burning me to a crisp, but don't worry it won't happen again" explained Parallax. "It better not, because if it does then my plans are history" said Sinestro. Then Nightmare opened another portal to his dimension. "Are we going to begin this mission or keep on talking about it" asked Nightmare rudely as Sinestro and Arkillo entered it with him while Parallax was about to take his flight to Zamaron. Just as the portal closed the Butcher possessed Hulk came and attacked him. "PARALLAX!" yelled Butcher as he raised his axe. "Butcher" said Parallax as he enlarged the spikes on his uniform. "So you possessed Hulk and now using him as your host" said Parallax. "RELEASE THE GHOST RIDER, HE BELONGS TO THE RED LANTERN CORPS" demanded Butcher in rage. "Uh, no" said Parallax as he scratched Butchers' mask with the spikes on his wrist and in response Butcher then threw his axe at him. Then Atrocitus and Bleez had made their appearance on Qward. "Oh is the entire red lantern corps gonna be here?" asked Parallax. "Release Ghost Rider from your control" demanded Atrocitus. "Oh you mean Johnny or do you mean Zarathos?" asked Parallax as he smiled deviously. Then Atrocitus had a curious and yet angry expression on his face. "Your red lantern keeps secrets from you, still want him back?" he asked again. Then Butcher came from behind him and swung his axe at him. "HULK SMASH" yelled Butcher as he then smashed him with his huge hands. Parallax then collapsed to the floor and saw the red lantern cat named Dex-Starr with the red ring around his tail came in front of him. "What is this your gonna let the cat get me?" asked Parallax sarcastically. "HHHSSSSSSS" hissed Dex-Starr as he jumped on him, scratched him, and vomited his boiling blood plasma at him. "AAAHHHH, get off me you stupid cat" yelled Parallax. And from out of nowhere, Bleez came and picked him up digging her nails in to him. "Had enough, because I really hope you haven't" said Bleez as she dropped him in front of Butcher. "I don't have time for this" said Parallax as he then flew off to Zamaron to fulfill the mission at hand. "After him" demanded Atrocitus. "HULK NOT FINNISHED WITH YOU AND NEITHER IS BUTCHER" shouted Hulk as he, Atrocitus, and Bleez all went after him in hopes of freeing Johnny Blaze from Parallax's corruption. As they were chasing him the parallax possessed ghost rider saw a jumble of colors moving passed the direction he was heading in. He then smiled and said "This could work" to himself as he headed towards them knowing that the red lanterns would follow.
Okaara
In the air above the swampy planet of Okaara in the sector of 2828 the two Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Captain America and the two Orange Lanterns and Larfleeze and Baron Zemo were chasing the Ophidian possessed Green Goblin. "Lord Larfleeze, Hal Jordan wait" yelled out Sayd. "Wait? Why should we wait when there is a giant orange goblin heading toward Odym?" asked Hal Jordan. "Yes and besides you do not question me" said Larfleeze. "I must warn you I have never seen so much greed before ever in my life as a guardian. And the stronger his greed the stronger his power which can make him impossible to defeat" said Sayd. "Tanks with the heads up Sayd, but I myself have the Ion entity so I think we'll manage" said Captain America. Then the four of them all went after Ophidian. "I want you to leave me alone, I don't want you…yet" said the Ophidian Goblin. "And what I want is Spider-Man dead". Then Hal Jordan noticed a yellow light heading towards them getting brighter and brighter. "Out of my way Jordan!" yelled the Parallax possessed Ghost Rider. "Parallax?" said Hal in confusion. And at that moment the Butcher possessed Hulk came out and swung his axe at him only to be saved by Captain America's construct of a shield. "GET OUT OF HULK'S WAY" yelled Butcher as he and Captain America were fighting. Then Atrocitus and Bleez showed up as they fought Hal Jordan. "Yes do get out of our way Hal Jordan I have my red lantern to save" said Atrocitus. "Hey Larfleeze are you gonna help any time soon?" asked Hal. "No, I don't want to I want my Entity back" said Larfleeze. "Farewell Captain America" said Zemo as he and Larfleeze left to follow Ophidian. "You are in my way of recuing my red lantern Hal Jordan" said Atrocitus. "If you're talking about Parallax's host then your methods aren't going to work" said Hal. "I would know because me, Kyle, and a whole lot of other green lanterns were possessed by him before and our methods worked before". "Oh really then tell me how can I free me red lantern?" asked Atrocitus. "You need to show him something very personal of his and seeing that will remember who he is" said Hal. With that being said Bleez had left the battle and returned to Ysmault. "Bleez return here now, Bleez!" yelled Atrocitus as they continued to fight each other. "Tell me Hal Jordan why do you assist Larfleeze he only cares about himself" asked Atrocitus. "Well if Ophidian didn't possess Goblin over there we wouldn't be here" said Hal. "DIE CAPTAIN AMERICA, OR SHOULD I SAY ION'' said Hulk. "We don't have time for this" said Captain America. "Neither do we" said Atrocitus. "Butcher let's just make this a quick killing". "WITH PLEASURE" said Atrocitus. "Not by my account" said Captain America as he and Hal fought back even harder.
Zamaron
Meanwhile on the violet crystal planet of Zamaron of sector 1416 the star sapphires were getting ready for an upcoming event. "So did Predator tell you what's the upcoming event is?" asked Wasp. "No idea" asked the Predator possessed Invisible Woman. Then all the star sapphires saw something big and yellow aiming right toward Zamaron and eventually it impacted Zamaron sending many Sapphires, crystals, and other rubble flying in the air. "Can you tell what it is?" asked a star sapphire. "I can't tell, sister" said another Star sapphire. As the smoke cleared up they saw a demon creature with the Sinestro corps symbol on his chest. "Stand down, or we'll fire" said Invisible Woman as she and the rest of the sapphires there raised their rings. "Umm No" said the Parallax Possessed Ghost rider as he then used his ring to create a construct to lash them out of the way. "Attention Sapphires this is your queen, fire every bit of power you have at that monstrosity NOW!" ordered Queen Aga'po. Then this one Star sapphire appeared and attacked him but not with her power ring but with her own body. "I am Fatality of the Star Sapphires, cease your attacking!" she demanded. "YOU" he said. "I remember you, you're the rehabilitated star sapphire and though you have now devoted your life to enforcing love instead of criminal acts, you are still guilty of your murder and crimes" said Ghost Rider. "You will now taunt me" said Fatality as he got closer. "You have been found guilty" he said as he ignited his Hellfire. Then Out of nowhere this indigo light appeared and blasted him before he could anything. When the light cleared up they could see a giant Indigo lantern holding a giant lantern and two other Indigo lanterns right beside him. "Parallax stop now I do not wish to attack you" said the Proselyte possessed Yellow Jacket. "Hank!" said Wasp as she shrunk and flew up to his face. "Hi Jan" said Yellow Jacket as he dropped the lantern and shrunk down. "What do we have here Love and Compassion against Fear, HA HA HA" said Parallax as he burst into laughing. "That's rich". Then Predator and Proselyte (Yellow Jacket and Invisible Woman) and the 2 indigo lanterns with the rest of the star sapphires started blasting him with as much energy and power they could throw. "Still think Love and Compassion is weak said Yellow Jacket as he absorbed star sapphire energy. In response to that Parallax stood up and said "I don't have time for this" as he took out his chain and whipped it around shattering all the rehabilitation crystals freeing all the captured Sinestro corps members even Viper. "I'M FREE!" said Viper as she put her ring back on. "What have you done?!" yelled Miri. "I've freed Sinestro's captured soldiers" said Ghost rider. "So long Star Sapphires" said Viper as she and the rest of the captured Sinestro corps members flew off following Ghost rider. "We can't let him escape" said Indigo-1. "We won't" said Proselyte as he, indigo-1, and Storm followed Parallax. "We can't let them escape either, right?" asked Wasp. "No, we won't" said the Invisible woman. "Sue Storm of Earth wait" said Queen Aga'po before she took off. "Don't worry we'll get her back" said Carol as she and Wasp followed her.
Odym
As the blue lanterns of Odym were preparing for the upcoming event Adara warned about the saw what appeared to be an orange meteor heading right toward them. "Uh Saint Walker?" asked Spider-Man. "Yes Peter" answered Saint Walker. "Should we be concerned about that orange thing heading right toward us?" asked Spider-Man. Then as it got closer they could tell it was no longer a meteor. "I'M COMING FOR YOU SPIDER-MAN" said the Ophidian possessed Green Goblin. "I don't think that's a meteor Saint Walker" said Black Panther. "It is Ophidian he is coming right toward Odym and he has taken the possession of the Green Goblin" said Ganthet. "Osborn, he's coming to Odym?"asked Spider-Man. "Indeed Spider-Man" said Black Panther. And at that moment the Ophidian possessed Green Goblin had crash landed on Odym. As all the blue lanterns gathered closer together and headed toward the crash site to investigate, but the pointed their blue rings at it for their protection. Ophidian then emerged from his crater with his orange goblin constructs appearing and shouted "MINE!" at the top of his lungs as he and his goblin constructs attacked the blue lanterns, but they fought back even harder. "I always knew that you only cared about yourself Osborne, but I didn't know you cared that much" joked Spider-Man as he blasted 3 orange goblins with one shot and jumped over them. "Spider-Man you've encountered this villain before, correct?" asked Saint Walker. "Yeah, tons of times, I'm losing track of how many times I-" said Spider-Man as he was cut off by Saint Walker. "Tell us how we can defeat him, NOW!" demanded Saint Walker. "Normally a few shots of your ring ought to do it, but with an entity I have no idea" said Spider-Man. Ophidian then threw a giant sized pumpkin bomb made of the orange light at Black Panther. "We have never lost hope and we never will, he must have a weakness" said Black Panther as he successfully jumped over the Pumpkin bomb. Ophidian then came behind Spider-Man and flew straight forward to him. "My spider senses are tingling, so where's the-" said Spider-Man before Ophidian grabbed him. "-problem" said Spider-Man completing his sentence."I'M GONNA KILL YOU NOW" said Ophidian. Then Blue lanterns Saint Walker, Brother Warth, and Black Panther came to his appearance and pointed their rings at him. "Release him, now" said Black Panther. "NEVER, I WANT HIM DEAD SO BADLY" said Ophidian. "Norman Osborne think about what you're doing if you kill him so many people he's influenced will suffer great loss, including his family and friends, surely even you have a family Osborne" said Black Panther. He then loosened his grip on Spider-Man but then Larfleeze, Baron Zemo, and the Orange Lantern Corps came from behind and blasted him while they all yelled out "MINE!" for all to hear. "It was a trick, you were lying, Spider-Man is mine now, MINE!" said Ophidian. "Larfleeze, what are you even doing here?" asked Saint Walker. "What does it look like, I'm trying to reclaim my entity" answered Larfleeze. Then Adara came closer to Black Panther. "T'CHALLA OF EARTH UPON HEARING YOUR WORDS I CAN JUDGE THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTILL GREAT HOPE, WORTHY OF THE BLUE RING, AND MY POWER" said Adara. "What do you mean your power?" asked Black Panther. In response to that Adara then entered and possessed Black Panther and the two fused as one while the blue lanterns and the orange lanterns witnessed the process. When it ended Black Panther emerged with a new color schemed uniform. Black Panther had a blue cloak that had a collar that went over his head and ended to his feet. He had a series of black and blue armor and designs on his chest, arms, and shoulders. The blue lantern symbol burned brightly on his chest and in his eyes. "ALL WILL BE WELL" said Black Panther. "Adara, you have selected your host" said Saint Walker with glee. "Cool" said Spider-Man. "Who cares, I just want my entity back" said Larfleeze. Then Black Panther and Ophidian both charged into each other. "Saint Walker although the balances of power tipped in our favor we still require assistance, contact the green lanterns" said Ganthet. "Already done, Ganthet" said Saint Walker. "So what do we do, now?" asked Spider-Man. "Now we continue you fighting with our hope burning brightly within us" said Brother Warth.
Nok
On the planet Nok Indigo-1, Storm, and the Proselyte possessed Yellow Jacket had just teleported to the location of where the central power battery should be. "What are we doing back on Nok?" asked Storm. "We are here so I can return the central power battery to its rightful location" said Yellow Jacket. "That's a relief" said Storm. "Yes, quite a relief indeed but shouldn't we be concerned on where Parallax is going?" said and asked Indigo-1. "Don't worry I have an idea where Parallax would go now" said Yellow Jacket. Storm was confused and even though Indigo-1 didn't show any sign of it he could tell so was she. "He's going to Oa" explained Yellow Jacket as he put the central battery back in the statue's hand. "How can you be so sure, Hank?" said Storm seriously. "Sinestro wanted to free his captured soldiers before right, well newsflash Zamaron isn't the only place captured Sinestro corps members are being held" said Yellow Jacket. "And plus Sue just told me on my ring". "Then go" said Natromo as he came out of the shadows. "If Sinestro has his entire corps free and under his control, then compassion might no longer exist" said Munk who also came out of the shadows. "I know, but I couldn't risk damaging the battery" explained Yellow Jacket. "Orva co guda sirma jod" said Indigo-1 as Storm agreed with her. "I know which is why we're leaving right now" said Yellow Jacket. "Hank Pym of Earth, tell me are you in control of your actions?" asked Indigo-1. "100% now let's get a move on" answered Yellow Jacket. Yellow Jacket, Storm, and Indigo-1 had their indigo rings and tribal sticks glowing with power and as a farewell message to them Natromo said "Nok". And as a farewell message to him and Munk all three of them said "Nok" in unison and teleported to Oa.
Ysmault
While this was happening red lantern Bleez returned to Ysmault. "Where is it? Where is it?" asked Bleez, talking to herself over and over again. Bleez continually kept flying around Ysmault moving everything with her power ring as she didn't care about anything except what she was looking for. "Maybe this could be it?" she said to herself. Bleez then used her red ring to raise and push rocks and rubble out of her way only to realize that there was nothing there but that. "AAAHHHHH!" shouted Bleez in extreme anger. "WHERE IS IT?!". Bleez then noticed something moving in the shadows. "This is Bleez, second-in-command of the Red Lantern Corps, Space Sector 0033, for trespassing on Ysmault the punishment is death, reveal yourself" said Bleez. Then the object in the shadows appeared in front of her. He wore a red domino mask, his uniform with a combination of red and black (the red lantern uniform), the red lantern symbol on his chest, and he appeared to have his hair on fire. "Careful Bleez, you don't want to kill a fellow member of the red lantern corps" said the red lantern. "Rankorr? Wha-What are you doing here? And where have you been?" asked Bleez as she lowered her ring. "Which questions do you want me to answer first?" asked Rankorr. In response to that Bleez just shot a mean look at him. "I've been away for awhile and I've heard rumors about the new universal lanterns of each corps are they for real?" asked Rankorr as Bleez nodded. "So I came back to Ysmault to see if they were true only to find that everyone's not here". "I'll explain everything later just help me find this earth object" said Bleez. "An earth object, on Ysmault?" said Rankorr. "A hah there it is" said Bleez. Rankorr came over to see the object she was looking for only to find out it was just a motorcycle. "You're looking for a motorcycle, why could you possibly need a motorcycle, you can already fly with and without your wings?" said Rankorr. "Stop asking questions I need it to save one of those new red lanterns, I'll explain the rest later just help me move this thing" demanded Bleez. Rankorr backed off, stopped asking questions and created a red construct of chains with Bleez and assisted her in pulling it as they flew off. "This is my last question really it is, where are we taking this thing anyway?" asked Rankorr. Bleez shot another mean and annoyed look at Rankorr as he went and answered his question. "We're taking this 'motorcycle' to the red lantern known as Johnny Blaze aka Ghost Rider, he'll be located on Oa". "the name 'Johnny Blaze' sounds human" said Rankorr. "That's because he is" said Bleez. "He's what, Bleez tell me how did another red ring chose a-" said Rankorr before being cut off by Bleez. "No more questions until the end and if you ask another one it won't be until the end of your life so please, ….SHUT UP!" yelled Bleez annoyingly.
Oa
Meanwhile on the planet Oa located in sector 0, the green lantern corps didn't know it yet but they were in for a big surprise. "Do you see what I see?" asked Kyle as he and a bunch of other green lanterns looked and pointed to the sky. What they saw were a group of yellow lights getting bigger and bigger towards Oa. "Hay, it seems Sinestro's corpsmen are planning an assault on Oa and its green lanterns" said Thor. "Plan nothing, there assaulting Oa now" said John. "There just begging us to get them" said Guy as he and the rest of the rest of the rest of the green lanterns went up to attack them. "Have at thee, Corpsmen" said Thor as he threw his hammer at them. "What he said" said Guy the blasted them. But while the green lanterns flew to the air Nightmare opened up a portal from his dream dimension to Oa. As it opened up Sinestro was in front of everybody, on the edge of the portal, needing to take only one footstep forward to enter Oa, with Nightmare and Arkillo by his side turned around and faced his corps while everyone watched him and awaited his orders. "My Corps you know the reason why the rings chose you and why I created the corps, to instill fear, freeing our captured corps members and attacking the green lantern corps will embrace that" said Sinestro as his members raised their hands and cheered. "Imprisoning my corpsmen robs them of honoring their purpose and taking it to their grave. No one captures members of my corps without facing the consequence, not then, not now, not ever" said Sinestro. Then Sinestro grabbed out his personal lantern power battery and put his ring to it. "Remember your oath" said Sinestro as the rest of the corps took out there power batteries, put there rings to it, and recited there oath along with Sinestro.
"In Blackest Day, In Brightest Night,
Beware Your Fears Made Into Light,
Let Those Who Try To Stop What's Right,
Burn Like My Power, Sinestro's Might"
"Attack!" said Sinestro, as the Sinestro and his Corps came swarming out of the portal like bees onto Oa. As they entered Oa Kyle saw them coming toward them. "Umm, Guy!" said Kyle. "What can't you see I'm in the middle of som-" said Guy as he stopped talking. "Thor get over here" said Guy as the green lanterns stopped attacking the small group and focused more on the huge majority invading them. "How is this possible? The entire Sinestro Corps entered Oa without even being noticed" asked Thor. Then he and many other green lanterns went to the surface and attacked as many as they could. During this time Sinestro and a few members of his corps were at the prison cells freeing as many members as he could. Sinestro was able to free a member who appeared to be a hermit crab-like alien with big eyes, a big shell on his back, 6 crab-like legs and 2 arms, pinchers for a mouth, and his ring appeared to be missing "Welcome back to the Sinestro Corps, Bedovian" said Sinestro as he gave him back his ring. As he slid the ring down his finger, the uniform appeared on him, and Bedovian responded with a nod and exited the cell. Arkillo was able to free another member who appeared to have a brown-orange skin and had 3 heads stacked on top of each other. "Get up Maash, you are now free of your captivity" said Arkillo as he tossed him back his ring Maash caught the ring, put on the ring and said "It's. About. Time." One head at a time. Nightmare was also able to free another member from the cell, whose skin was blue, had 4 arms, black hair, a hunched over spine which stood out and looked like a cage, and was missing her power ring. "Your name is Kryb right? I Can see how you instill great fear" mocked Nightmare as he tossed her ring to her. "You have no idea" said Kryb. Then Thor and a bunch of other green lanterns flew in to stop them. "Halt!" shouted Thor. Then Parallax had appeared with the released corpsmen from Zamaron. "I'm BAAACCCKKKK!" shouted Parallax as he whipped his chain around the cells allowing all the members to escape. "Well that was fast" said Sinestro as his corps regained their rings. Another portal opened from the dream dimension and out came the manhunters along with the Anti-Monitor himself commanding them. "I have returned" said the Anti-Monitor. Thor and John right next to him pulled out their rings and contacted Hal Jordan and Captain America immediately. Instead Yellow Jacket, Indigo-1, and Storm had teleported to Oa and attacked the Anti-Monitor. "You called for help?" asked Yellow Jacket as he grew to his size and punched the Anti-Monitor. Then the star sapphires Carol, Invisible Woman, and Wasp came to Oa as well. "Ready when you are" said Carol. In response to that Thor smiled and raised his hammer and his ring and yelled "Have at Thee. It is time to Beware our power, Sinestro".
