A small wrinkling blue skinned, white haired man appeared in front of him. He wore a long flowing red cloak.
"Greetings Alexander Lavelle Harris of Earth 4." The man greeted him with a small smile.
"Wha – Who are you?" Xander asked, revising his question thinking that the small blue man might take offense at being asked what he was. Xander liked everything of his where it was. "What do you mean by Earth 4?"
"I am Ganthet, last of the Guardian's of Oa, creators of the Green Lantern Corp." The small man answered. "I meant that this your dimension is one of my making up the Multiverse. My people have labeled this Dimension 4. There are humans in almost every dimension and they have a love of the name Earth for their home planet."
"What's the Green Lantern Corp?" Xander asked.
"The Green Lantern Corp was a group dedicated to defeating evil. Their power was tied to the green color spectrum of Will. They were given rings that could project their will outwards."
"Like the ring I found?" Xander asked.
"Yes and no." Ganthet answered. "A Lantern's power rings only had a finite charge and had to be recharged using a lantern battery connected to the power core on Oa."
A cloud of green smoke flowed out of the ring before turning into a screen that hung in the middle of the air. Images flowed across it like a television. A large planet, a giant battery with a core of deep green light. Men, women and aliens dressed in dark uniforms all with the symbol of the Green Lantern Corp on their chests. All wore green metal rings. Energy erupted from rings taking on different shapes, some coming out as projectiles, blasts of energy, he saw a giant drill and a giant baseball glove.
"I bound my spirit and the powers of myself and my brothers to this ring. We and the Green Lantern's fought against powerful enemies. In the end we lost...everyone lost." Ganthet whispered sadly. "I directed this ring, the Prime Ring to find a worthy bearer so that our legacy would not be forgotten. It has crossed not only time and space but dimensions to find you."
"I – there must be some kind of mistake." Xander stammered. He was just lame old Xander Harris. He couldn't even stand up to his old man when he went into his drunken rages. He was bad in school and regularly hid behind his smaller, but stronger, friend Buffy.
"This ring has not chosen wrong." Ganthet said, giving him a firm but solemn look. "The ring, and I by association, have seen all that makes you who you are. You are worthy Alexander Lavelle Harris. You are worthy of the power of Will, you are worthy of being a Green Lantern. You are stubborn like many of your race, you can be lazy and underachieving but you are not unintelligent. You are also courageous, pure of heart, and you fight for those who cannot even though you have no special abilities of your own. If only you believe in yourself you will wield a power greater than any other ever seen in this Universe. And in time I will help you to rebuild the Green Lantern Corp."
"In Brightest day, in Blackest Night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Green Lantern's Light!" Xander chanted feeling slightly cheesy.
Green light exploded around him, filling him with it's power. When the light died down he stood in his room wearing a tight black spandex body suit, boots and a full green face mask. On his chest in a white circle was the symbol of the Green Lantern Corp. Looking in the mirror he noticed that his eyes were glowing bright green and a thin green aura outlined his body.
'You can shape the appearance of your uniform to your desired form if you are unsatisfied with it.' Ganthet's voice sounded in his mind causing him to twitch.
"Are my clothes gone?" Xander asked.
'You need only reply in your mind and I will hear you, some humans might think you are crazy of hearing voices.' Ganthet replied with what Xander knew to be amusement. 'When you activate the ring any clothing you are wearing are stored in a dimensional pocket inside of the ring. They will reappear when you deactivate it.'
Xander sighed in relief. He didn't have enough clothes to keep destroying them. Looking in the mirror he tried to think of how he wanted his uniform to look. First he gained black combat boots then black cargo pants. He left the suit covering his torso. Over it a knee length black trench coat with green inner lining appeared and finally his hands were covered in a pair of fingerless black gloves. Clicking his tongue he frowned.
The mask isn't a very good disguise really. Xander thought. His mask crawled over his head and neck becoming a helmet.
'You will require training' Ganthet said. 'You cannot do that on Earth.'
"For how long?" Xander asked.
'Normal Lantern training last six months to a year.'
"My friends –" Xander protested.
'This is more important than any one world Alexander. I know that you do not wish to leave your friends but with training you will be able to protect many instead just a few.' Ganthet said. 'The Universe needs the Green Lanterns.'

Ganthet was the smallest being there. Standing next to him was a huge, broad shouldered alien who looked sort of like a pig. Next to him was a woman with dark hair and eyes and pink skin, an African American man and a human in his twenties with messy brown hair and green eyes.
"These will be your trainers." Ganthet said. "From left to right is Killowog, Katma Tui, John Stewart and Hal Jordan. All of them were once part of the Green Lantern Corp and the last two of Earth."
"So this little poozer is the newest Green Lantern?" Killowog said, his voice a deep rumbling bass, before snorting. "Well I am not impressed."
Xander just scowled at him causing Killowog to smirk.
"Well Killowog you and Sinestro didn't think very much of me when I first became a Lantern remember?" Hal Jordan asked. "And who was it that destroyed Paralax?"
Killowog just grumbled before nodding grudgingly.
"I say give the kid a chance." John Stewart said. "I think he has potential."
"To be a Green Lantern takes the utmost commitment." Katma Tui said, arms folded over her chest. "Sometimes they must put the Greater Good of the many over the individuals. Are you prepared to do so?"
"I will not fail." Xander said firmly.
Katma gave him a hard stare.
"You will experience failure but if you are strong you will pick yourself back up and learn from your mistakes." Katma said with a compassionate look. "Now prepare Alexander Harris. Your training begins now."
Xander barely had time to gulp before a blast green was headed his way.

"Please." Xander's voice broke, tears flowing down his cheeks as he gripped the hand of the smaller being lying in front of him. "I don't want you to go."
Ganthet coughed as he reached up and cupped Xander's face gently. A warmth he had rarely experienced burned in his heart. He and his Bretheren were immortal but he felt living so long sometimes took away things that were so obvious to the shorter lived races. Love and happiness were two of the things they rarely paid much thought to. They left that to the lesser races. They were expected to lead the Green Lantern Corp, to be above such things. But since meeting Alexander Harris Ganthet had experienced them and found that they were lesser for not having done so.
"Most of my people were dead and we were immortal." Ganthet said. "I had no children of my own but if I did I would wish for them to be like you Alexander. I leave everything to you. You will be our legacy in this Universe."
"Goodbye father." Xander whispered.
"I go to join my brothers." Ganthet whispered. "Never forget that I believe in you. I know that you will do me and the Lantern Corp proud."
Breathing his last Ganthet let his hand fall.
I am coming my brothers. Ganthet thought as darkness encroached on his vision. Know that our legacy is in the best of hands.
Xander used his ring to carve and shape a large slab of marble before polishing it. Levitating Ganthet's body he laid it on the slab. Covering him with rocks Xander manipulated them until they encased him in clear rock.
Here lies Ganthet
Last of the Guardian's of Oa
Mentor and Father of Alexander Harris
Returned to His Brothers-November 25th 1997 AD
Xander wiped a tear off his cheek before his visage hardened.
"I swear Ganthet your legacy will live on." He whispered. "I will recreate the Corp. and all Evil will tremble at our power and the innocents rejoice."

Xander flew away towards the new power core he had constructed. Placing his hand on the wall he willed it to open. Standing inside were large crystals that were completely clear. Firming his jaw his hands clenched into fists.
"In Brightest day, in Blackest Night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Green Lantern's Light!" Xander roared, ring raised. Green energy exploded in the air before becoming fireworks.
Gripping the power he forced it towards the crystals.
"Argh!" Xander yelled as the power exploded from his ring to fill the new power core from which all of the Green Lanterns would receive their power.
Plans for the story:
-Xander, known as Primus, recreates the Lantern Rings. Training those who are found by the rings they start building their own planet, ships and weapons.
-The Green Lantern Corp starts taking the fight to the Gouald.
-SG-1 become Green Lanterns.
