A.N: Extra long for you guys! Apperently the episode is too, ahaha. Check out my Deviantart for a reference to some sketches I've made as to what happened to the crew.

Beawolf's Pen: It does seem a bit ooc, but u think that's how thw writers would have started developing Razer. He well still have some rage baby burst every once in a while, though, because you know. Now that I think of it, I think I wrote it too obvious to the point even Hal would have noticed, but I was thinking there should be one episode here Hal actually doesn't get it right, so let's do this one.

Silverwolf: Arkillo's tongue will heal, but not by Razer and Cody, I'll give you that much.

Guardian's of Azarath: I guess I went too far on the obvious trap for even Hal to notice. But I have a good reason for him to go off alike that. Maybe not the best one but it will be explained next chapter. Poor Killowag.

I don't own GLTAS

Episode 6: The Beats Inside and Out part 5

Back with Razer and Killowag the two were going off from their previous conversation back on Brigard. "Maybe it would have been better if you were in the room." Killowag told Razer, "You may have done better to get Hal out of there."

"It is better if I wasn't in there."

"Why not?"

Razer stopped walking and Killowag did the same. The Blue Lantern tapped his foot nervously on the ground for the third time that day. "There is a reason that in my first travel to Brigard, I did not go into the store myself. I would have asked him to lead me to Aya, but I did not want to be given false hope that what he does may be true."

"But if you trust the guy enough now to tell us on how to defeat the Sinestro corps, why did you not ask him when we were there? You're a Blue Lantern, you believe in hope."

"It's not hope this time. It's the importance of the mission." Killowag was confused and Razer explained better, "Asking him now would have derived me from our current mission."

"But Aya is important to you."

"How are you saying this to me when you believe this man can't give us the answer?"

"I should probably make myself clear. He uses magic. Do I have to keep-" Killowag felt a prick feeling in his neck and he then felt the sleep hit him. As he fell, Razer ran to his friends and yelled, "Killowag! What happened! Then Razer felt the prick feeling on his neck and the fell on Killowag limp

Hal woke up, feeling a little groggy to the head and sore in the neck. "Ugh…." He moaned as he felt around and noticed he was lying on his stomach. As the light pain was subsiding, Hal tried to recall what happened. After the others left; he and John stayed behind in the clearing and with the feeling of tensions growing between them. The two had not attempted to talk to one another for about a minute, that is until Hal tried to start the conversation with pointing out John's uncooperative behavior from before. Not one word was able to get out of John's mouth by the time Hal felt something prick his neck and he fell on the floor all dizzy and tired. What had happened to make him fall asleep?

Remembering now that John was supposed to be with him, Hal looked around his surroundings to see if he could find him but instead Hal found himself facing metal bars. He was in a metal cage and a small one to transport animals probably. He sat up, asking himself, "What in the world—Ow!" He yelped when his head hit the ceiling of the cage. Very small the cage was indeed. Hal was mid-reaching up to his head to rub the sore spot when he realized that the gloved white hand wasn't there anymore and had been replaced by a brown furry paw. "That's not supposed to be there." He followed the paw and saw it attached to the rest of his furry body. "Is this hair?" He tried to scoot back but he ended up hitting something plastic with the back of his foot. He turned around but ended up flat on his stomach again to face what looked like a bowl of water. He looked in to see his reflection, but instead saw a chocolate brown eyed German Shepard starring back at him. "Ah!" Hal screamed and scooted back until he pressed himself to the wall of the cage. "Why am I dog?!"

"I'm actually surprised, too." Said an annoying voice. Hal turned his head around to see there was a cage next to his. A Rottweiler sat in the cage and stared at Hal with a knowing expression. "I thought you would turn into something more disobedient, like a cat."

"John?" Hal asked.

"Hey!" Came a yowl from the other side of Hal's cage. In the cage was a lion, well, more like a lioness. Except, the she had brown tufts of fur that acted like human hair that started like bangs from the forehead and the ended down to the back of the neck. Hal instantly new who it was. Mary yelled to John, "Cats may be independent but they do know how to pack a punch. So when I get out of here—"

"If we get out of here." Came Killowag's voice. Hal looked across from him and saw a cage with a hooved foot, pig-like creature but with horns on its forehead and tusks from the side of its mouth. Recognizing the color of its skin, Hal knew it was Killowag. "Without opposable fingers, there's no way to even pick the lock." Hal heard the sound of clinking and he looked at the cage next to Killowag where there was Komodo dragon like creature with long horns that curved up from its forehead. Just by the little white hairs that stuck out of its head hinted to Hal it was Razer. He was picking the lock of his cage but was failing. "You don't need fingers. You just have to find anything useful. Look at Cody." Razer pointed to a cage next to Mary that had a blue paradise bird picking at the lock with its talons. The bird, Cody, squawked and then said, "Well, Razer, I'm not feeling the usefulness coming out of this. How about you, Arisia?" He looked to a cage on his other side and there was a brown ferret like rodent with white longer fur around its neck. Arisia was squeezing her muzzle through the bars and trying to get to the lock. To no avail, she pulled back and said, "No use."

Hal began, "Ok, I can see why you're all worried about being in cages, BUT HOW THE HECK AM I A GERMAN SHEPARD?!"

"I'm still asking why I'm a Burfhog." Killowag said.

"A what?" Hal repeated. "Is that an animal?"

"We're all animals that are indigenous to our planets." John answered. "That's why Arisia is a Herming and Razer is a….Viluna-ak?"

"Vilinak." Razer answered. "But we only know that it had something to do with getting shot with tranquilizers and then at some point when we were asleep, we were turned to into creatures. Where we are is a mystery."

"Yeah, we're under a tent." Mary stated. Hal observed the area around them and took note that the caged were set in a semi-circle on tables. Over them was a big, tan colored tent which had only one opening out. "I hear people outside though, so whoever is out there is responsible."

"How did we get turned into creatures in the first place?"

"Good question Hal Jordan." John said, "Why don't you look in your water bowl again to find the answer."

"Oh shut it, John, or I'll put a ring in your- our rings!" Hal looked at his paws and then all around the cage to try and find his ring which was not in his possession at the moment. "Where is my ring?"

"All our rings are gone." Cody answered.

"Then how can we understand each other?"

Arisia stated, "I say it's a creature thing. Every creature understands each other. Weird theory."

"I guess it's the only theory that works." Hal commented.

"But it just doesn't seem possible." Killowag grunted. "Animals say things differently like their own language. How is it scientifically possible to—"

"Again with the science…." Razer muttered.

Apparently it was audible enough for Killowag to hear and the Burfhog stomped his front hooves hard on the cage floor and growled, "Want to run that by me again?"

"Shhhh!" Arisia hissed, "Someone's coming."

Everyone went silent as someone came through the flap of the tent. Everyone's jaw almost dropped in seeing it was a Psion that looked almost like the Voodoo man back on Brigard, except this one was more strongly built and he wore brown pants with boots, a white lengthy collared shirt and a blue, long leather coat. He had on a hat that resembled what a pirate would wear. He began to speak, "My brother was right; you are a very diverse group. And the fact you are all lanterns makes you all even more priceless goods. I'm surprised, the Seer usually doesn't trick your kind into coming to this planet but you were all desperate and deceivable. Magic can do that to anybody, really. That why anyone who goes to him and leaves happy never come back." He noticed the growls he was getting from everyone and continued, "Where are my manners?" He bowed and then stood up again to say, "I'm Keaton. I sell exotic creatures to passer byers on this planet. We used to sell the animals that lived here but of course, when we ran out we had to make out our own. You can guess what we had to do there."

"And you can guess what we're about to do when we get out of here." Hal yelled.

Keaton laughed and said, "I'm sorry but whatever you say is not understandable. You're an animal now thanks to the charm." He tapped a purple gem hanging from a line around his neck. "And weaponless." John noticed Keaton put a hand on his pocket. "It only takes a few minutes and then bam! You're creatures." There was a yell outside and Keaton heard it, turning around to the tent exit. "Well, I'm going to head out and get started on finding buyers. Hopefully you got all that I said, especially since you can't say anything about it to anyone really. Not even your buyers will know." And with that, Keaton was out.

There was silence again, but this time more anger and more demise was felt. Suddenly, Mary, with her back legs, kicked the cage bars behind her. "God damn it! I'm going to kick that man's ass all the way back to Brigard! And then kick his brother's ass to Oa."

Cody looked at Arisia and pointed to the tent exit with his beak. "Well, there's our answer."

"And the award for worst leader goes to-" John began.

Hal interrupted, "How am I the worst leader?"

"Are you kidding?! You blindly lead us into a trap."

"Right now is not the best time to bring up what I did." Hal growled.

"Oh really? Because between being stuck in here and being sold, now is the perfect time! There is no way out."

"I don't think it's the time to be pessimistic." Cody began. "We should keep working on picking the lock."

"Great." Mary said sarcastically, "Because that idea has been great so far, Cody. Why don't you just fly off and—"

"Mary, be nice." Arisia scolded. "He's trying to help."

"You call him lying helping?"

"You call being a bitch helping?"

"What did you just call me?"

"Stop fighting over me!" Cody yelled.

"That could have different context." Hal commented.

John argued. "How can you joke at a time like this?"

"Because we're sitting in cages and not able to do anything."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Was I the one who magically turned us into animals? No!"

"Well there wouldn't be magic if you had just—"

Killowag cut in, "Stop saying magic! It's ridiculous to hear you talk like that."

"Then how should we talk? Science?" Razer suggested sarcastically.

"Are you making fun of me? This isn't a joke. We were probably genetically enhanced. Mutated."

Razer argued, "Keaton said it only took him a few seconds to change us into creatures. That's scientifically impossible."

"What? Now you're trying to prove to me magic exists? If you're so sure, why didn't you just ask Voodoo man for help?"

"Now see here, Killowag." And then suddenly, the tent became a battlefield of throwing out random squabbles and ganging up on each other. Killowag and Razer fought among each other about their problem while Mary, Cody, and Arisia fought among theirs. John and Hal were just barking back and forth taunts and insults. In all the chaos and in all the toss ups, there was a load, shrill, ear piercing squawk.

A.N: Who was that? So, the others got captured to and then they all wake up as animals? That's what my Devientart picture is all about so check it out! I hinted that idea to a few people, so I hope you're all excited for where this can go. I was excited to write this so…. The Crew is hating on each other and among that, they realize they were tricked and now sold as creatures who can't speak and are defenseless. Along with that, they're justa bit more sarcastic. Will they get out? I'm KikaKatTIOI, peace out!
