Red 2

by Jesters Folly

When Dex-Starr finds a pile of damaged power rings and no wearers he goes to the only other red lantern he can find. It's down to Red Floof and Dex-Starr to find out what is going on and their only clue is the hologram of a very annoying toaster.

Chapter 19 – The End

The battle had lasted for over an hour. The sky had been lit up with orange warriors led by Rimmer and the polymorphs that had remained on land had soon been killed by Lister and the others, all of whom had been powered up by the blue light of hope that rained down from the red dwarf. When all the polymorphs had been killed Holly sent Bob and the remaining scutter down to the asteroid with flamethrowers for everyone. It took two more hours for everyone to search the caves and clear out the caverns. A cavern was found at the back full of aliens of all species all of which were dead. Another cavern was found with a number of ring bearers who were released. Kryten repowered the other members of the indigo tribe who, intern repowered members of the other corps until they were able to leave. Red Floof and Dex-starr accompanied the Dwarfers back to Red Dwarf.

"Right that should sort out Kristen, try taking the ring off." Holly said

Kochanski slid the red ring, now haloed in blue light, from her finger, the rest of the crew held their breath.

"I, I feel fine. A bit tired but fine."

Everyone breathed out.

"I thought you said a red ring couldn't be removed" Red Floof whispered to Dex-Starr.

"Well, if the rage heart can be replaced with something that cancels it out then there is always a chance." Dex-Starr hissed.

"I have enough charge if you want yours removed." Holly said to Red Floof, the cat woman looked at her ring for a second.

"No, no I think I'm all right. My life has been nothing but trouble since I got this thing but I still like what I can do with it. I don't have to put up with any er, smeg."

"I'm impressed and surprised." Dex-Starr said.

"How about the rest of you, do any of you lot need a hand."

The other Dwarfers all shook their heads and took of their rings. Dex-Starr batted one along the table "They're all nearly out of power anyway." Dex-Starr said

"And I'm done here. I've reloaded the toasters personality back into the proper hardware." Red Floof said.

"Thank, I'm just sorry we couldn't help you with that." Lister said, pointing at the broken gun droid.

"That's ok, I know some one who can help."

With all the rings collected Red Floof and Dex-Starr headed back toward earth and the Red Dwarf disappeared as they started the journey back to their own reality.
