Chapter 36: Weak Will
A/N Enjoy and Please Leave a Review. Thanks you very much and I hope this bring a bit of delight to your day.
Dr. Crane:
"Don't worry," I say, helping Kara and Diana with the threes as soon as they enter the hideout. Carrying Mr. Jamie on my back, I hurry him over to the incubators. Setting it up, I then assist with Professor Stein and Jason. "Easy, easy. Here, rest his head on this."
Placing a pillow under Jason's head, I close the incubator. While recovering, I did an analysis of the three.
"No serious injuries," I say, "Mr. Jamie does seem to have a bruise but not broken right arm. Jason show slight burn marks, most lightly from the yellow ring attacks. Professor Stein-"
"Hey, " Barry screams out of nowhere, scaring me. "Just shut up, okay? We don't need your "medical" examination. We just need these things to do what they do. So just shut up and don't say another word."
Despite the risk, there was one question I had to ask.
"Where is the man in sunglasses," I ask, preparing for the worst.
"The Hall of Justice," Kara reply, staring at where the portal was. "With my cousin, who now had a yellow ring."
Shock to learn Superman had acquired a yellow ring, I manage to somehow keep calm.
"Don't worry," I say, no one turning to face me as I spoke. "If anyone can survive a yellow ring Superman, it's him."
"I hope," I thought to myself, imaging what the strongest man in the universe can do with one of the most powerful weapons.
Green Lantern:
Creating a shield as a three yellow lanterns fire, I manage to block the attacks. However, my shield begin to break, cracks spreading all over. Struggling to keep the shield up, it shatter and I was hit from all three sides. Hitting a wall, the three kept firing, pinning me against the walls. Screaming as I try to summon something to protect me, I look through the yellow to see the man land on one of the yellow lantern.
The other two lowering their ring when they realize who was beside them, they try to change target but were too slow. Hitting them in the head, he knock them out and walk over to me. Walking through the foundation, he knee down and slap me.
"Snap out of it," he says, grabbing my hand and waving it in front of me. "The ring need a strong will."
"I have strong will," I reply, clenching my ring and summoning something. However, only a green, blurry blob appear, floating behind the man.
"Oh yeah," the man yells, "Really strong will. That blob of your will do wonder."
About to yell something, I saw more yellow lanterns drop in behind the man. Preparing to aim their rings, I was about to tell the man about them but before I could, he turn around and whip out his arms. As he did, the water from the spring jump up and snap at them. Hitting all of them, he knock them away. Even before my mouth could drop open, he turn his hand over and water turn into ice, freezing the lanterns completely.
"What," the man asks, getting up and somehow making his arms encase in water. "You think Killer Frost and Mr. Freeze are the only one with cryogenic power. Oh how wrong you are."
Blasting more lanterns as they land, he got they soak in water before freezing them completely. No matter how many lanterns they were or what they summoned, he quickly froze them in ice. Before I knew it, there were no more yellow lanterns.
"Something wrong," the man says, tapping the frozen lantern soldiers as he walk by them. "Something is really wrong."
"What's wrong," I ask, getting up and looking around. "You took out all the soldiers. Without my help. From the look of it, you don't need anyone's help."
"Yeah I do," the man says, also looking around. Looking back at the frozen soldiers, he then slap me in the arm. Yelling as I held my arm, I look to where he was pointing. "Soldiers. There was only soldiers when I fought. But I remember seeing Sinestro earlier. And why wasn't "Not-So" down here too. Where did those two go? Hold on."
"Not-So", I repeat, "Who the heck is "Not-So"?"
"Not-So Superman. You know, once a decent man, now more nuts than a fruitcakes. Also, now had a yellow ring."
"Superman had a yellow ring," I scream, imaging what he could do with it. "Are you sure?"
"Am I sure he had a yellow ring? Yeah, I think so. Dark-yellow, on the finger, transparent drills beside him. Yeah, I think so. Now shut up. I gotten track."
Stomping hard on the ground, small cracks appearing as he did, he place his fingers against his face. About to ask what he was doing, he place his palm in front of my face.
"Shut up," his hand says, his thumb hitting his fingers. "Just let me focus. Oh and don't ask about the magic talking hand. It's just something I learned awhile ago."
Sunglasses:
The world around me turning completely black, the shockwaves and vibrations from my stomped foot travel all over. Seeing flashes of everything, I find both "Not-So" and Sinestro in hallway leading underground. The hallway leading to many rooms, I stomp my foot again and focus.
Sensing the contents of everything in the rooms, getting a rough estimate of what shape there were, I stumble upon a familiar shape located close to the end of the hallway.
"My transporters," I say, opening my eyes. "They're heading to a room underground to get my transporters. The ones I loaned Idiot 1 and 2."
"Uuhh," Hal says, bringing up a finger but pulling back. "Can-Can you please start talking with my mouth? Your talking hand trick is kind of scary."
"Sure," I reply, switching over. "Okay, now that's that out of the way, let's go. We need to beat them to it. Move aside, I making a shortcut."
"Making a shortcut," Hal repeats, just as I slam the ground and create a hole in the hall. "See you at the bottom!"
Falling through the hole, I repeat the "shortcut method" when I reach the second floor. Slamming the ground whole open, I reach the finally floor in almost no time.
"Where are they," I ask, dropping in and looking around. Now in the hallway, I look around. To my surprise, both Sinestro and "Not-So" were still in the hallway, stun by my entrance. Protected by a yellow walls, a little bit of red enter their eyes when they saw me.
"You," Not-So yells, bringing up his magic ring. Sinestro bringing up his, they both fire. Standing my ground, I block both blasts with my hands. Traces of yellow creeping up my arms, I still manage to keep my feet on the ground.
"Go moron," I yell, "I have them distracted!"
Nodding his head, Green Lantern drop in from the hole in the ceiling and rocket toward Sinestro. However, while in mid-flight, Hal's "green" suddenly fade, meaning when he ram into Sinestro, he barely move.
"Bad time for a weak will," I say, watching as Superman grab Hal and toss him into one of the nearby room.
Following after Hal, I rush in and stop Sinestro from moving.
"It's me and you Earwax," I say, grabbing Sinestro's wrist.
Green Lantern:
Bringing up my lantern ring, I fire a green blast at Clark. Putting as much as I could into the blast, it hardly seen to affect him.
Bringing up his own ring, he fire a yellow blast at me. Putting up a shield, it shatter like glass and hit me. Screaming as I went flying through a some piece of technology, I try to summon a cast for my arm but it fizzy for awhile before breaking apart.
"Is he right," I thought to myself, "Is my will too weak? Is that why I can't seen to summon anything? No, it can't be! I am a Green Lantern! My will had to be strong!"
Turning to face Superman as he walk toward me, I focus strong and hard and summon chain that wrap around him. Stopping him for only a little bit, I took the opportunity to electrified the chains. Sparks of green travel along the chains, they turn Superman into a lightshow, flashing on and off.
Despite what it look like, Superman was still strong enough to summon a buzzsaw to cut the chains. Once cut, the buzzsaw then turn, spinning toward me. Jumping out of the way, the saw went right through a wall, leaving behind only a very thin hole.
My eyes glue to the hole, I couldn't do anything when Superman grab me by my neck collar and lift me up. Raising my hand as far as I could, Superman grab my wrist and twist!
Screaming as my bones begin to break, Superman fire lasers from his eyes, the lasers hitting my lantern armor. Feeling the heat from the lasers, I didn't know how much longer the armor would last.
Sunglasses:
Turning my head when I heard Hal scream, I look back to Sinestro as he struggle to get out of the neck hold I had him in. Bringing up his yellow ring, he fire it only inches from my head.
"Die," he screams, clawing at my wrist. "Die! Just die!"
"Politely" waiting for Sinestro to turn off his "nightlight" attack, I was actually a little happy to his eyes wide open when he saw my face completely unharmed.
Pushing my hand into Sinestro's chest, he slam right through about five walls before hitting a car and flipping over. A few soldiers rushing in to check in on him, I left him and stomp my way into the same room as Superman and Green Lantern. When I entered, I find a smoking, knock-out Lantern in the grip of a yellow, angry, Superman with bright-red eyes. Without some much as a second thought, Superman fire laser at me.
Bending my arm and stomping my foot, I raise my bend arm and brought up a pillar of stone. Hitting the pillar instead of me, I slam my palms into the pillar and sent it flying toward Superman. Crossing his arms, he withstood the pillar as it hit him. Shattering into a million pieces, he then let his arms fall to his sides.
"No, no, no," I say, waving my finger. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Trust me when I say this, you see my eyes, and you will die. No, if you want to find out who I am, then you going take me down. Man to man. Whoever hit and knock out the loser."
"Fine," Superman yells, jumping and rushing toward me. Dodging and grabbing Superman's arm as he flew past, I spin around and toss Superman to the ground. Getting up fast, he fire a yellow blast at me. Once more, dodging and rolling away, I pull from my jacket some daggers and toss them. Unlike Hal, when Superman summon a shield, it actually manage to deflect an attack.
My daggers bouncing off the shield, Superman lower the shield and then summon two giant drills.
"What is it with you and drills," I ask, looking at the spinning tip as they edge closer and closer. "What, trying to become a handyman now? Hmm, might be a bit too late for that."
Ignoring my joke, Superman pull back his arm and then launch it forward. As he did, the drills shot forward.
Superman:
Watching as the man clap his hands, he turn a bunch of different colors; blue, green, yellow, red, even pink. As he change color, he split into three different "images" of himself. My drills hitting the wall instead of him, he then vanish.
Turning all around, trying to find him, I was startle when something shot up from the ground and grab my foot. Looking down, I saw what look a bunch of rocks latch onto me. Before I could react, they pull me down and trap me.
"Boo," yells the man as he suddenly appear in front of me. Walking up and punching me, he punch me right out of the stone traps and back onto the ground.
"Come back to earth," the man says, shaking his hand. "Why don't you? Instead of begin all high and might? After all, some of us can't fly or shoot laser from eyes or even lift a hundred time our weight."
"Oh yeah," I reply, wiping my mouth. "I can fly and shoot laser and lift a hundred times my weight, but you know what I can't do. I can't move rocks like you or split into a bunch of different colors."
"Oh you like that. It's a new thing. Neat, colorful, but a little comfortable. I mean, I'm literally splitting myself."
Pushing myself off the ground, I look toward the table to see one of the devices my soldiers got when they captured Blue Beetle and Firestorm. Looking back at the man, I push myself up and onto my feet.
"That what you want," I say, pointing at the devices. "Isn't it? That why you didn't leave. With my cousin and the others. What is it?"
"The entrance to my own personally base. Fully equipped with yada, yada, yada. Look, I just want them back and I'll go."
"Sorry, but they're my now."
"This is not finder, keeper Flyboy. It's my, and my only."
