A.N. This is the last chapter of the small To Be a Blue Lantern episode I made. Guess what, I'm taking care of this group of seven year olds at the zoo camp I'm working at and there is always that one kid that always misbehaves. Yesterday I found out that one kid watches GLTAS and his favorite character is Razer. Our camp theme this week is superheros and we made our super hero capes today. I made a Young Lantern cape and Royce comes over and sees it and starts talking about a show he watches about Green Lanterns and other color lanterns. And now even though he still misbehaves, he will always pays attention to me now when I tell him to do something (only because I like Razer, too)

Beawolf's Pen: Ooo, someone likes Cody. Just Kidding, you're not the only one falling for him. Even though the Ganthet thing is getting crazy, I hope it's not too confusing. Oh, I'm glad you saw the picture, and you love it so that's great!

Luminesyra: Yes things are finally making sense now I hope. Haha, Mary and Cody were written for each other, that's a good one. But you know I can only let the story explain that for itself.

Speaking of which let's get started. This takes place right where we left off but in a different POV to start with.

I don't own GLTAS

Italics are Thoughts

To Be a Blue Lantern part 3

))))))))Cody's POV((((((((((

I pulled the canvas closer to me. "You think so?" I asked her in surprise.

"I know so." Mary said.

"Heh- well- wait, did you say grotz?"

"Um, yes. I've been in space for too long."

"For how long?"

"About four years almost five."

"Wow, it even comes home with you." I dipped my paint brush in the blue and started to outline the mountain. "I remembered you said the same thing to Brandon on Halloween."

"Yeah, that crazy night." She looked down and then pulled her knees to her chest, "I guess I should say it now but, I wanted to thank you for saving me from getting hit."

"Oh, it was nothing."

"Of course it was something. You did something no one else did that night. You even showed off Brandon."

But it ended up being nothing. I had tried to do something I knew was right and I ended up being picked on and having my hat fall off and get my new name Dumbo. "It just hasn't ended up good for me in the past month."

"Yeah, I've seen." She said in a monotone. Now that I know Mary is Young Lantern, it means she knows both sides of me.

"So, who else have you told." I asked

"What?"

"Who else have you told about me?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, the only person I could trust with that information was Vivian at first. Then the Circle started to get worried and I only told them the small facts, not everything. And then there is Hal."

"Wait you didn't tell the rest of the whole class?" I looked up from my painting of the mountain.

"Not really."

I misunderstood her, that's for sure. Brandon had made her look like she can be one to overpower or just be the one to gossip and make someone look bad. She did take on Brandon only a few years ago and her and her friends do make him angry. But it's because he messes with them, and he's the one pulling the pranks. The Circle doesn't even touch the Bunch. "I just thought , no- I mean…I kind of believed Brandon would help me out to be a better person. He seemed excited when he found out about my scholarship, I really thought I had made a friend but after seeing what he does, I wasn't sure anymore."

"Wait you never knew?" she asked. "I just thought you went with it."

I continued to paint. "It was mostly when you got back when I started to get the clues. Then Halloween is when I saw everything."

"Well that changes things."

"Everything changes, sometimes you just have no control."

"Not unless you fight for it."

I rolled my eyes and put the painting to the side to dry. I laid the paintbrush on the ground and then turned to face her. "What good would that do? I mean if you try, everything just ends up falling apart."

"Then you try until you get it, because if you give up, then your whole life goes downhill."

"Is it because of your…oh shoot, sorry I shouldn't." I quickly shut up. I knew what I would have said next would just ruin everything.

"Brandon told you. Everyone knows what happened to my mom. But not everything, heck I don't remember much. I spent the last four years forgetting her and now I'm back to trying to find out who she was." She pulled out a small booklet from her pocket and opened it. There were a bunch of sketches of different people.

My eyes widened. "Holy Cow! Those are crazy good." I said as I looked at the sketches. "These were your mom's?"

"Yep. You can take a look." She handed the booklet to me and I eyed her. "Don't worry, it won't bite."

"Ha-ha." I said with sarcasm and I took the sketch booklet. As I looked through it I asked, "So you forgot because…."

"I couldn't handle it, the sadness made me so depressed."

"So now I know why you forgot, now why do you want to remember."

"I can still remember her, I can still talk about her, but it doesn't have to weigh me down."

"How did you figure that one out?"

She smiled, and told me about her Journey in the Frontier. When the story ended, we noticed the change in light around us and we looked to see the sun had already set. "Well that was fast." She said looking at the skyline. I took in her features, so light, so soft...she looked so…beautiful…so full of hope. When she turned to face me, I still stayed mesmerized looking at her. "What?" she asked.

"Oh, nothing." I blushed

Then I heard a metallic voice say, "Emotions Detected."

"What was-?"

"Get Down!" She pushed me to the ground and I heard an explosion.

))))))))))Mary's POV(((((((((((((((

After I tackled Cody to the ground, I stood up quickly and put myself between Cody and the Manhunter. There were scorch marks where we were sitting earlier but the Manhunter still was on us. He was almost destroyed, limping and one side of his face showed microchips. Its canon had some sparks and one hand missing. Wait, microchip face? Limping? One less hand! That's the same one Killowag took down and the one we brought to Odym to inspect! Aya had disappeared with the Manhunter, this is where she took it. I looked at the cave. In there!

"Cody, get out of here." I said powering my ring.

"What is that thing?"

"Manhunter. Now get out of –" The Manhunter attacked by making a canon appear from out of its good hand and aiming it at me. I made a construct hand and yanked it out of its grasp. I crushed the canon with the construct hand and it turned into a million pieces. I made the construct disappear and made rocket shooter. When I shot the Manhunter dodge and then got lost in the explosion of dirt flying everywhere. As I made the launcher disappear, I looked around the cloud of dust surrounding me.

I heard the clink of metal and then the sound of grunting behind me. I turned to face the Manhunter whose arms were outstretched to grab me. But I noticed he was pulled back by the neck. Some hands were wrapped around its head so when it turned to try to get it off, I saw that the hands were Cody's, "Leave her alone!"

"Cody, the hell is wrong with you?"

"I don't know-" Suddenly the Manhunter was able to grab Cody from his back and through him across the ground. Cody skidded and then hit a nearby tree and slumped to the ground. The bell sound came in my ears. "CODY!" I was going to run up to him but the Manhunter got in my way. "Get out of the way!" I lassoed its arm and threw it to the wall of the canyon.

I then heard someone say, "Help me disassemble him." I looked up to see Saintwalker make a construct lasso on the Manhunter's bad arm. Then Brother Warth landed next to me and made a lasso on one of the Manhunter's legs. "On three." Walker said. "1…2…3!" We all pulled at the same time and the Manhunter came apart in wires and sparks. Pieces of it flew everywhere and I blocked the light of the explosion from my vision. When all was quiet, I looked up to see all was safe.

I heard moaning and I turned to see Cody getting up from the floor rubbing his head. "Woah." He said looking around his surroundings. "That was wicked crazy."

"Are you all right." I walked up to check his head.

"It's just a small bump."

"Or a concussion." I held his head in my hand and started to slowly heal it.

"You weren't kidding about being a healer."

"No."

"Here's the sketch book back." He took out the booklet from his pocket and handed it to me.

"Thanks for holding it." Then I flicked his face.

"Ow, what was that for?"

"For not doing what I said. I said run."

"Then I would never have gotten hurt and we wouldn't be having this nice little chat. Then again, you told me earlier than that that I have the power to make my own choices."

I sat there dumb founded. "Now I sound like such a hypocrite." He just laughed.

After I made sure Cody was alright and he had packed all his supplies, we made our way back to the camp. It was dark now so we made our way to our beds which were hammocks. It doesn't get to cold at night so a blanket was just what we needed. Usually we wouldn't rest this easy after a Manhunter attack, especially since they don't come alone. But we figured out its origin and we right away went to our sleeping quarters. I filled Cody in on what the Manhunters were and our problem with them. He later asked, "So they can tell if one has emotion?"

"Yep, strong emotions."

"Like what?"

"You know, fear, anger, love."

"Love."

I remembered on how Aya had her emotions detected when she took one look at Razer. "Yep." I turned to look at him biting his lips and looking away. "Are you ok?"

"Oh-um-yeah." He managed a smile and rubbed his head. "I'm just going to miss this place."

"You don't have to follow what your dad told you, if you like it here, just say so." I climbed the tree and swung myself to the top hammock.

"I'll think about it." He said getting into the hammock under mine.

The next day was the day we got back home, we waited at the clearing with Cody's stuff already packed. Strum Strum was there, too. He gave Cody a huge lick with his slobbery tongue. "Ew, grody."

"You get used to it." We heard the sound of sharp wind and we all looked up to see the Interceptor fly in and surround the area. Strum Strum turned and slithered away, making room for the Interceptor to land on the spacious clearing. As it landed, Ganthet went up to Cody and asked. "You have not made a decision yet, have you?"

"No." he said. "But that doesn't mean I'm not interested. It really seems nice to be a Blue Lantern. All the things you could do. It's pretty cool. Is there is any way I can contact you?"

Ganthet nodded and held out a box device in the shape of a circle. It was white and had a blue button in the center. "If you need anything."

"Thanks." Cody said

)))))))))))))on the Interceptor ((((((((((

Cody and I took our spots by the window and waved to the Blue Lanterns. Then the Interceptor took off as we left Odym behind us. On our way back home, we ended up chatting with everyone on what we did.

"A Manhunter?" Hal asked. After we told him.

"Well we were able to rip it to pieces." I answered.

"You guys did." Cody added. "I just ended up getting knocked out."

"Only after you jumped onto the thing."

"Wait a minute." Killowag stopped us. "The kid I met a few days ago, who was practically scared out of his mind, had tried to take on a Manhunter alone?" I nodded, all Cody did was turn red. Then the Hal started to laugh and the point to Killowag. "So that means I win the bet."

"What? You bet?" I asked.

"We didn't exactly bet." Killowag tried to reason. "We just wanted to see if Cody here ease up a little while on Odym. But there was no actual agreement."

"Yes you did agree on the bet." Razer said. "I was there."

"Ha!" Hal exclaimed. "That's the reason why we had to have a witness."

"What did you two bet?" I asked.

Aya explained, "If Green Lantern Hal had lost, then Sergeant Killowag would take command the ship for a one week. Since Sergeant Killowag was the one to lose, he must not use hammer constructs for the same amount of time."

I just started to laugh and the whole room erupted in chaos. The boys were busy arguing and Aya, Cody and I just watched the show

A.N: More Cody POV! Is that romance I see blossoming? O.O. And action, Booya! Cody you brave soul. By the way, the circle box with a button is very important and just to give you a hint, Cody takes it everywhere. Also, poor Killowag can't use hammers. Never bet with Hal or just never have a witness at all. Mehee! By the way, there is one more filler chapter after this, and then that's the end of the first arc and the last chapter before I leave to Mexico Thursday I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out.
