A.N: Well, I just have one word; Finals. FinalFinalsFinalsFinals….finals. This week is my last week of school, and the most dreaded week. I should be studying, but I wanted to post this now. Thank you to those who reviewed; you guys really want a sequal? Ok, but it's going to be kind of hard, I'll try. But what I really wanted to do was make a series of one shots after I'm done with this story. Then I'll do a sequal. Also to the fact of Ganthet's odd behavior, I can't tell you, but one reviewer has the right idea.

By the way, the end of the chapter is going to go pretty quick.

I don't own GLTAS.

Blue Hope Part 3

"I'll stay with Ganthet." I whispered to Hal. He gave me a look that said, 'you're not going to fight?' But he dropped it quickly when he and Killowag flew up and took on one Manhunter each. Both Blue Lanterns took out the last one, making blue rope instructs.

I had a tugging feeling that I should go help, but I wanted to stay behind and help Ganthet. I turned to Razer and Ganthet, saying, "Come on, we got to go." Razer nodded and he picked Ganthet up. I flew by him as Razer ran down the stairs towards were the battery should be. When we reach the second flight, I heard ringing in my ears. I stopped and gasped. The ring was in my right ear, than went to my left. Then I heard the ring from both sides and it was getting loud.

"What's wrong?" Razer asked as he put Ganthet on the ground.

"They're, they're hurt."

"If you want to go help…"

"But, what about you? Razer has no power to defend you. No offence, Razer."

"None taken." He held his ring hand up to show he agreed with me.

"You wish to protect me, but you see I am safe. Why do you still worry?"

"You don't know what it's like hope that someone will be ok, but it didn't end up ok anyway." I landed on my feet and looked down. I felt a small hand on my shoulder and I looked up see Ganthet hovering eye level in front of me. He said, "I actually do know what it's like."

"What?" Suddenly, two bright green figures came through the cliff and hit the ground hard. "We should keep moving." We went down the stairs as quickly as possible. Ganthet and I made it to the bottom first, than Razer was there next to us.

We saw Hal and Killowag forming a wall construct between the Battery and the Manhunters. But two Manhunters were breaking the wall as they blasted shot after shot. "That Battery has made them unstoppable." Razer said. "You have to shut it off."

"The procedure takes several hours." Ganthet explained, "And by then the battle would be lost." A third Manhunter came down and helped the others to break through the construct.

I saw Hal go on one knee as the force almost made him fall. "I think know would be a good time to help." Ganthet said. I didn't hesitate and I flew towards the battery. I landed and helped make the wall go bigger and repairing some cracks the Manhunters made.

Hal smiled. We went like this for another thirty minutes. A pink hue started to light the walls of the C shaped Cliffside. The sun must have been rising, meaning we were going to get tired since none of us had sleep. In my case, not enough. Even though I still felt the energy around me, my eyes started to feel heavy. I shook my head and kept the construct going. But right before my eyes, the wall cracked into little pieces, then shattered. The force knocked Killowag, Hal, and I from the pedestal and to the ground. We rolled a little and then stopped.

I felt the pain come and go quickly, so I got up onto my feet. I noticed them getting ready to take the Battery from its pedestal. "Hey! Thief's, that's not yours." I yelled, and us three GL's flew back into battle, only to be knocked back into making a force field because of one Manhunter's canon. I really thought that we had lost it this time and the Manhunters were going to take the battery. Wrong! A strumming sound, like that of a guitar, echoed around us. It happened twice, but I recognized it the first time. I smiled, waiting for what came next.

Strum Strum burst out of the pedestal and with one bite, gulped the battery. OK, I was not expecting that, but if it helps I'm ok with it. We dropped the force field and stared at the worm as he went back down into the ground.

"What just happened?" Killowag said as we lost the green glow.

"I had Saintwalker call upon his…pet…for a little assistance." We turned to see Razer being carried by blue energy. He landed on the ground with the blue lanterns right behind him."

Hal looked at me and said, "That's the giant worm you talked about?" I nodded. He smiled and held thumbs up to Razer and the others. "Great Job guys, now let's clean up this mess." Us green lantern flew to the pedestal. Hal and Killowag went to one Manhunter, and I took out the other. I flew from under it, then I sky rocketed straight up. I hit the Manhunter full force making it spin. Then Hal came at it from one side and made it spin again to the right. Then Killowag punched it towards the sky. Hal punched it again, and then I did the same thing by kicking it in the face. Killowag made the final blow by bring it to the ground. The force made a huge crater under it, but it was too strong to destroy it.

We landed on the ground and got our weapons ready. I made a Frisbee in my hand, getting ready to aim. The Manhunter got up and said, "Objective failure."

Something green and white flew behind it. I looked to see it was our missing crew member. Aya, where have you've been? Aya looked at the Manhunter and said, "Correct. Your primary objective has failed. But you as an artificial life form can take this moment to choose alternative programming."

"Where is she going with this?' Killowag asked me as Razer ran up next to Aya.

"I think she's taking Hal's advice." I answered. I noticed Aya and Razer staring at each other. I started to smile.

"What do you mean take my-"But Hal didn't finish when we heard, "Emotions detected." The Manhunter looked at Razer.

"Oh no." I gasped.

"Emotions detected." The Manhunter said, taking his canon out, aiming it at….Aya? "Eliminate emotion."

"Aya!" I screamed. But it was too late as the Manhunter blasted her to the ground. Aya laid there unmoving. "Aya…"

"NO!" Razer covered himself in a flame of red energy. When he turned to face the Manhunter, I stepped back. He was…scary looking, rage written all over his face. His eyes turned a bright red and his mouth showed his sharp teeth. He shot at the canon destroying it and the arm that held it. It all exploded in smoke and fire. Killowag covered his face from the blast, Hal did the same and held me behind him at the same time. I tried looking up again, but another explosion had me cover my eyes.

Killowag, Hal and I looked up in utter and complete shock. Razer, who was supposed to not be able to use his ring, stood in anger in full power where the Manhunter used to be. "He practically destroyed that thing." Hal said.

Razer flew to where Aya laid, he kneeled down and turned her over on her back, "Aya." He said as the red power disappeared from him. Us Green Lanterns walked over to see if she was ok. Razer picked her up, "Aya, are you all right?" Nothing happened for a few seconds, so I panicked a little.

But her eyes fluttered open and I sighed in relief. "Yes, I think so." Aya said as Razer helped her to her feet. He said, "I apologies for what I said earlier. You have more of a soul then I have ever had." I covered my mouth to keep me from squealing. Now that is what I call growing a backbone. Aya smiled.

"We must turn off the Battery for now." Ganthet suggested. "More Manhunters could be around."

))))))))) Later that morning(((((((((

After getting rid of the Manhunter and packing the ship to leave, everyone was out saying their good byes. But before I could say good bye to the Blue Lanterns, I went to the stairs to say goodbye to someone else. I heard deep growling as I made my way down the stairs. I saw Strum Strum lying by the cliff, curled up in a coil. "Strum Strum!" His huge head picked up and he made a gurgling sound. He sniffed me and with his huge tongue, licked me. I was all covered in saliva and I gagged. Oh, well.

The huge dragon worm looked up and saw the green lanterns board the Interceptor. Strum Strum then looked down and me and nuzzled his chin on my head, "Aw, don't worry, I'll come back soon." He opened his mouth to lick me again. I giggled. I flew up towards the Interceptor, "Bye." I called back waiving at Strum Strum. I landed in the clearing to see Razer and Aya boarding the ship. I looked to my right to see the Blue Lanterns and Ganthet standing there. "It was really nice to meet you guys."

"Yes, it's always good to make a friend." Saintwalker said as we shook hands.

"May you hold on to all the wisdom you have in you." Warth said holding his trunk out for me to shake. I laughed and shook it back.

"Thank you." I looked down at Ganthet and he looked back at me. "I'll see you again, right?"

"Of course, we will meet again. You remember what I told you."

"Yeah, I won't forget. Hey um Ganthet, what did you mean by-"

"Mary!" I looked back to see Hal at the door, "We got to hit the road."

I nodded and looked back at Ganthet. He said to me, "You will find out what I mean when you are faced with the most dire situation. If I tell you know, it won't help you later."

"Whatever you say, Ganthet." I kneeled down and we shared a hug.

But it wasn't long until I saw him again, but with a different mission.

Monday brought the usual "Get your ass back in school!"

Tuesday was my first Volleyball game.

Wednesday, I was reminded that I had one week before Halloween would come.

Thursday the Twins almost blew up science class by experimenting salts they brought from their house and carbon water at school.

Friday was a normal day of taking down Manhunters after school. Saturday was the day of the mission, to Earth. We were just patrolling when we got a call from Ganthet. He needed to be taken to Earth for some reason. We picked him up and made our way home. Ganthet explained, as we all sat in the control room, the reason he needed to come to Earth.

"From what I've been told, there is a young boy that has the potential to be a Blue Lantern." I quickly remembered his interest in Cody and stopped him right there.

"No! There is now way Cody Royal can be a Blue Lantern!" Everyone was now looking at me. "He can't fight, he can't even dodge a pummel to the ground."

"Well, a fighter is not all I'm looking for." Ganthet simply said.

"That's not the whole problem. How am I going to explain this whole Green Lantern-Blue Lantern thing. Human minds are small you know."

"We have all day."

"Don't even get me started on his family." I said.

Hal stood up slowly from his seat. "Cody Royal, as in, the new boy in the Bunch." I nodded. "You did say he wasn't like the others. Maybe that's why Ganthet sees potential." I just laid my head back, knowing Hal had a point.

When we got near Earth, we left the Interceptor hovering in space pretty close to earth, but not too close for satellites to notice. Hal, Ganthet and I went down to Earth and left the rest of the crew to wait at the ship. We made it to Coast City around midnight and hovered next to Cody's window. After tapping it five times, the window opened and the blond boy started to say in a sleepy voice, "Who is waking me up-" He stopped when he saw the famous Green Lantern heroes of Earth and a blue alien flying by his window.

But he wasn't the only one who looked shocked, I was, too. It wasn't because he was wearing only his boxers, which made me blush by the way. Stop blushing, Mary, why are you doing that? It was because he wasn't wearing his hat, that didn't cover his abnormally large ears? Large Ears? I almost laughed, but kept my mouth shut. That's why he wears it all the time, if he doesn't, there would be no end to all the names he could be called. "HOLY COW!" Cody yelled and stepped backwards, only to fall on to his bed. "I didn't do anything wrong, I swear!"

I'm not Mary, right now. I'm Young Lantern. "It's find, we just came to talk."

"Wha-Wha-What?" he stammered.

"Cody, sweetheart, are you-" I saw a woman in her forties open the door and turn on the lights. She stopped when she saw us. "Oh My…."

"Honey, what's wrong?" and in walked in Mr. Royal.

He didn't have time to say anything when a little boy about 6 years old ran in and stopped when he saw me. I noticed he wore Green Lantern them PJ's. Oh, geez, a fan boy. "WOW! It's the Green Lanterns! At my house!"

"Boy." Mr. Royal began, looking at Cody, "What did you do?"

"Nothing yet." Ganthet answered. "But it is what he will do that we are here to talk."

A.N: Razer is not a total doushbag! Haza! And some more wise words of wisdom from Ganthet. So yeah, I don't think you guys saw that ending coming at all. To give you an idea of where this is going, this arc is going to focus Mary's affect on Cody and the next arc will have some slight hint of Cody helping Mary out on something. Guys! I haven't seen Star Treck or Iron Man 3 yet! And Epic comes out this week! Holy moly, I'm going to be a busy girl! So next is a filler, then it's the first chapter of Prisoner of Sinestro. I think what I just said was so random, i figured it's time to put the laptop away. I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out.
