Hero Lanterns

Chapter 5: The Frontier Space

[Keyblade Graveyard]

Getting up was none other than Master Xehanort and Vanitas.

"How is that possible? How can Sora and Ven can have this new power?!" Xehanort spoke with a bit of anger.

"I will get my hands on that twerp if is the last thing I do!" Vanitas said with anger.

Then two red lights appear in front of them.

"Master Xehanort of the Land of Departure. Vanitas of the Unknown Realm. You have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps. Give in. You will have your revenge." The light said before they form into red rings. Xehanort and Vanitas looks at the rings before they reach out and they insert into it. Despite the pain, they have transformed into the Red Lanterns.


[Calico's Base]

At the base, Dr. Calico was a bit frustrated about his obsession of getting what he wants.

"That wretched brat and her pathetic dog had humiliated me for the last time. I swear they will rue the day!" Calico said with anger.

Then a red light shines around before it floats in front of the villains.

"Ivo Calico of Earth, you have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps. Give in and you will have your revenge." It said.

Calico see the light as it forms into a ring.

"Penny! Dog! You will feel my wrath!" Calico said angrily as he takes the ring. He inserts it before he yells in pain as he is transformed into the Red Lantern.


[Cluster Prime]

Meanwhile, Queen Vexus had return to her home planet enraged about her defeat by Jenny after she received a new power.

"How can XJ9 received a new power?!" She asked angrily. She then punches a monitor in anger making her minions tremble in fear, "I will have my revenge!"

Then a red light shines in front of the queen.

"Vexus of Cluster Prime. You have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps. You will have your revenge." It said to her before a red rings appear in front her.

"I don't know this power, I will have it! That robot girl will rue the day!" Vexus said before she inserts the ring. The transformation is painful but Vexus will have her revenge against Jenny.


[Separatist Flagship]

Meanwhile on the bridge of the droid warship, Asaji Ventress speaks with Count Dooku, via hologram.

"Master..." Ventress said.

"Ventress, your failure to defeat the Republic Forces on Geonosis at the hands of the Padawans. Lord Sidious will not be pleased about this." Dooku said sternly.

"I swear my allegiance to you, Master!" Asaji said.

"General Grevious will deal with the Republic forces until you admits your mistake." Dooku said before ending the communication.

Asaji roars with anger making some of the droids tremble in fear.

"You Padawans will feal my wrath for this!" Asaji said with anger. Then all of a sudden, a red light shines before a voice calls out to her.

"Asaji Ventress of Dathomir, you have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps. Give in. The ring knows your pain." It said to Asasji. She stares at the light as it forms into a red ring.

"I swear my allegiance to you and I shall seek my vengeance on that pathetic Torguta and her friend." Asaji said as she takes the ring and inserts it. She yells in pain as she is transformed. The droids watched as their leader transforms before the light dies down. Asaji now wears a tight suit with the Red Lantern symbol on it.

"General?" A droid before it gets blasted by the Asaji's ring. The assassin now wields a new power and she will seek her vengeance.


[Shard]

Back at the Shard, Lord Atrocitous watches on while Dex-starr sleeps on a red pillow he created. Then Bleeze appears and bows in respect.

"Lord Atrocitous." She said.

"Speak, Bleeze." Atrocitious said.

"The rings have chosen the new wielders. They are at the Central Battery." Bleeze said.

"Bring them." Lord Atrocitious said. Bleeze nods before heading out to retrieve the new Lanterns. Later, Bleeze arrives with Master Xehanort, Vanitas, Queen Vexus, and Asaji Ventress.

"Where are we?" Asaji asked.

"Who are you?" Vanitas asked.

"I am Lord Atrocitous. Master and Ruler of the Red Lantern Corps." Atrocitous said.

"Why are we here?" Master Xehanort asked.

"You are here because all of you have great rage in your heart. You seek vengeance on your enemies." Atrocitous said.

"Anger that leads to darkness." Xehanort said.

"Yes. You will be trained if you want your revenge." Atrocitous said.

The new Red Lanterns will be trained to have their revenge on the heroes who defeated them.


[Oa]

In the hangar, Hal reaches to hall that leads to Interceptor. There was a guard post blocking the way. Hal then forms an idea. He constructs an image of Ganthet and sends it to the post.

"Identify." The guard post said.

"Ganthet of the Guardians." Ganthet spoke with Hal's voice.

"Incorrect. Alarm detected. Contacting security." The post said before Hal retaliates by shooting the post. It falls to the ground and Hal moves in. The hangar was dark and Hal moves in quietly until he bumps into someone. It was Kilowog who has his arms behind his back.

"Kinda figured you'd turn up here, hotshot. Just your style. You borrow the ship. Rush into danger. Catch the killer. Save the day. Big hero." Kilowog said.

"You forgot get the girl. There's probably a girl somewhere in this. Don't try to stop me, big guy."Hal said getting up.

"Who's trying to stop you? We're coming with you!" Kilowlog said.

"Who's we?" Hal asked.

Just the he was blind by light. Then surrounding Hal and Kilowog was Sora, Ven, Bolt, Penny, Jenny, Brian, Ahsoka, and Barriss.

"Hey guys." Hal said.

The back door of the Interceptor suddenly opens and out comes none other than David Jordan who has his arms crossed.

"Hal Jordan." David said sternly.

"Oh no." Hal said grimly.

"Though you could sneak into the hangar to steal the Interceptor behind the Guardians and my back so you can catch the Lantern Killer?' David spoke.

"Well yeah-" Hal said.

"You would not even last a minute without me do you. We were supposed to fly in two days but decided to go early." David said.

"Yeah, we want to help you catch this killer." Sora said.

"Barriss and I wanted to help you since we are Padawans for the Jedi." Ahsoka said.

"I don't know why I was chosen, but I am willing to help you guys." Brian said.

"Yeah." Ed said with agreement.

"I used to sneak out behind my mom's back." Jenny said.

"Besides, forget anything?" Kilowog asked He shows Hal the batteries.

"Okay, you guys can tag along." Hal said.

With that said, Hal, Kilowog, David, and the group boarded the Interceptor.

"I've been saving your butt ever since boot camp. No reason to stop now." Kilowog said.

They reach to the interior of the ship before they are at the engine room.

"Whoa!" Jenny, Ahsoka, Brian, Sora, and Penny said in amazement.

"Would you look at that." Hal said.

"This thing's engine is a giant power battery." Kilowog said.

"This is very different than the Gummi ship." Sora said.

"Or the Twilight," Ahsoka said.

They reach to the compartment and they are amazed.

"She's beautiful." Hal said.

"She?" Kilowog asked in confusion.

"She. A ship is always a she." Hal said.

"We also have to have a name for a ship. I like the name Interceptor." David said.

They enter the bridge which is divided into two levels. The top is the controls for the ship and the bottoms is for the mapping and the fire control center. There are at least five seats at the lower deck.

"Nice." David said in amazement.

"Wonder how you fly this baby." Hal said as he reaches for the pilot's control.

Just then a blue orb appears on the control.

"Please define term: Beautiful." The A. I said.

"Who was that?" Penny asked.

"That must be the AI nav-computer." Kilowog replied.

David, Sora, Ven, Penny, Bolt, Brian, Ahsoka, and Barriss see the A.I in amazement.

"Wow." Ven said.

"This is amazing. Right Bolt?" Penny spoke to her dog who barks in reply.

"This is awesome." Ed said.

"Totally dude." Torch said.

"Hello Aya. We're your new best friends: Hal, Kilowog, and David." Hal said.

"These are my friends; Sora, Ven, Bolt, Penny, Brian, Jenny, Ahsoka, and Barriss." David said to the A.I.

"We want to learn how to fly you." Hal said.

"AI does not spell Aya, it spells Ayee." Kilowog corrected.

"But Aya is a pretty name. A pretty name for a pretty girl." Hal said.

"Don't you ever stop?" Kilowog groaned.

"New designation accepted. Aya." The A.L now named Aya spoke.

"Aya, would you like to play a game?" Hal asked her.

"What game?" Aya asked in confusion.

"This game is called Joyride." Hal replied.

"How does one play 'Joyride'?" Aya asked.

"Guys, I suggest you strap yourselves and hold on." David said to his friends.

They scramble to their seats and construct seat-belts as Hal prepares to fly the Interceptor.


In the quarters...

"I disagree. The Corps must be told everything we know." Ganthet said.

"We know nothing for certain. All we have is a theory." Appa spoke.

Sayd sees the Interceptor in flight.

"Look!" She said.

The ship is flying when Kilowog sees something in the window.

"Someone's coming." Kilowog said.

The group turn and see the Guardians. Appa was pounding on the window telling them the land the ship.

"Appa, forgive me!" David said to the lead Guardian before turning to his uncle, " Uncle get us out of here!"

"Aya, initiate ultra-warp, now!"

" Ultra-warp protocol requires at least 43 minutes to calculate." Aya informed.

"Aya, listen to me. Kilowog, David, his friends, and I are Green Lanterns. We help people." Hal spoke.

"It is unsafe to bypass protocols." Aya informed.

"Green Lanterns risk their lives to save the lives of others. Aya, please." Hal pleaded. The ship charges up for an ultra-warp.

"Hold on, everyone!" David shouts.

The Interceptor flashes into hyperspace. The Guardians are very mad except for Ganthet with a smile on his face.

The Interceptor enters the hyperlane. There was an alarm blaring.

"Warning! Bypassing protocols has resulted in unstable ultra-warp field. Disintegration imminent." Aya warned.

"What does that mean?" Sora asked.

"It's mean we're gonna die." Kilowog said.

"Oh Force help us." Ahsoka said.

"Hal you better do something!" David shouts.

"Hull integrity at seven point seven five percent." Aya informed.

"Aya, can you convert to manual controls?" Hal asked.

"Affirmative. However manual control a vehicle while in ultra-warp-" Aya informed.

"Do it!" Hal shouted.

Aya engages the controls for the ship and Hal takes over. The he slams the ship into the wall of the warp trying to get out of the lane. On the other hand, Kilowog gets thrown around while David, Sora, Ven, Penny, Bolt, Brian, Ahsoka, and Barriss are strapped to their seats they created.

"How is this better?!" Kilowog asked Hal.

"If I can slow us down, I might be able to punch through the ultra-warp conduit without breaking her apart." Hal said.

"And I thought Master Skywalker was the craziest flyer!" Ahsoka said to Barriss.

"Not like Green Lantern Hal." Barriss said.

"You kids better hold on tight!" Kilowog said.

David and the others strap themselves tightly. Hal keeps slamming the Interceptor into warp while Kilowog gets throw around. He then breaks through the warp. The ship is out and it comes to a complete stop. David looks up after the flash of light.

"You guys alright?" David asked his friends.

"Yeah." Penny replied as Bolt shakes from the dizziness. Ven took a breather while Sora was laughing.

"That was awesome!" He said.

"I though our hyperspace was smooth but this is a crazy jump." Ahsoka said.

"It's like being a on a launch coaster." Brian said.

Kilowog recovers and looks around.

"Wow. Frontier space." Hal said.

David and his friends look around the area.

"Wow." Penny said.

"So this is Frontier Space." Barriss said.

"It's so cool." Sora said.

"This is amazing. If my little brother is here, he would have seen this." Brian said.

"I never though I see the Frontier Space up close." David said in amazement.

"I wonder what the odds are for me making my dinner with Carol-" Hal spoke.

"A billion light-years from home, and that's what you're thinkin'? You must've really lost it for this girl." Kilowog said.

"Uh, no." Hal said.

"You better otherwise, she would fired and break up with you." David said to his uncle.

"Attention! I am picking up telemetry from a nearby Power Ring." Aya informed.

"Penny, help Kilowog." David said to Penny.

"I'm on it." Penny said as she goes to the controls. She press a button and it shows the location of the Power Ring.

"It's a GL! And Hal, whoever he is, he's alive." Kilowog said.

"But not for long. He is in a fire fight. And losing." Aya said.

"We got to help him!" David said.

"Buckle up, people. This is now officially a rescue mission." Hal said.

Hal, Kilowog, Aya, David and the others head out to help the Green Lantern. This is will David;s friends' baptism of fire.


The Interceptor flies towards the destination where the Green Lantern is at. David turns to his group.

"Ok, people. Hope you guys are ready because this is the real this. If you guys mess up, you'll end up in a world of pain." David said.

"We'll be ready for this." Sora said with a bit of excitement.

"We are ready for anything. Are you ready, Bolt?" Penny asked her dog who barks in reply.

"I have been fighting bad guys in space before. This should be a piece of cake." Jenny said.

"I hope I'm ready for this." Brian said nervously before he feels hand on his shoulders. He turns and sees both Ahsoka and Barriss.

"Don't worry, Brian. We'll get through with this." Ahsoka said.

"You must have courage, young on." Barriss said which made Brian smile slightly.

"Get ready, you guys." Hal said as they approach a large asteroid.

"Here we go." David said.

Meanwhile, the Green Lantern covers with a shield before the small Red Lantern breaks his cover. It strikes the GL in the back and he's thrown into the ground.

"Not bad." The small alien said to the tall alien. "In fact I'll graciously allow you to make up for your earlier squeamishness. You can strike the final blow Razer. Unless of course you are too weak!"

Razer grunts and prepares to go for the final blow. Just then the Interceptor arrives and blasts the ground knocking Razer and the small alien back. The ship then lands on the ridge. Hal, Kilowog, David, Sora, Ven, Bolt, Penny, Jenny, Brian, Ahsoka, and Bariss all head out.

"Let's go, team!" David shouts.

Hal, Kilowog, David, and the group head out to rescue the GL. Hal, David, and Kilowog attacl attack the Tall Alien while Bolt, Penny, Brian, Jenny, Ahsoka, and Barriss take on the smaller alien. Sora and Ven attack first at the small alien with their constructs shaped of their Keyblades. They attack at him before the alien blasts them back with his red plasma breath. Next, Bolt strikes with his strength before he gets swatted away. Penny sees the moment and strikes with her Wheel-Bar construct.

"My turn!" Jenny creates a large robot fist before she strikes the alien. The alien then retaliates before striking all of them away.

"Weaklings! Your feeble constructs are crushed beneath the Red Lanterns might!" The small alien said.

The Green Lanterns took cover behind a small fort.

"Red Lantern? What the gnort is a Red Lantern?!" Kilowog asked.

"These guys I'm guessing. Let's go!" Hal said.

They reach to the GL who is wounded. Barriss and Ahsoka leaps in front of them before creating lightsabers and attack Razer. Razer strikes at the girls with a blade from his red ring. Brian lands in front of Hal and creates a shield as Hal helps the wounded Green Lantern.

"Easy, we're the cavalry here to rescue you." Hal spoke to him before his ring beeps meaning it is running out of power. "I'm running low. You have enough juice to fly him back?"

"A big shot GL from Oa, huh? Maybe I ought to be saving you." The lantern said.

"David and I will draw their fire while you get the comedian back to the Interceptor."

"Yeah, I had a feelin' that was comin'. What do you want written on your tombstone?" Kilowog asked.

"Spent the rest of his long life making sure his ring was charged." Hal replied.

"And mine will be that I would have an uncle who likes to do things his way." David said.

"Ready? Covering fire!" David shouts as he and Brian open fire on the Red Lanterns while Kilowog runs with the GL back to the Interceptor.

Meanwhile, Razer kicks Ahsoka back before blocking Barriss'. He pushes back before blasting her away. He then gets strike by none other than Sora.

"Back off!" Sora shouts as he creates several Keyblades before striking Razer several times. Razer blasts the spikey brown hair boy before a large fist strikes him by Jenny.

Hal flies with David as the nephew creates a bazooka and fires on a pillar. It collapses on the small alien that was chasing them. Kilowog reaches to the ship before he places him on the medical bed.

"Sorry I can't stay and chat. But I've got some Lantern killers to finish off."

"Thank you." The Green Lantern said.

Hal takes cover and his ring is very low. David takes cover and opens fire on Razer. The Red Lantern shoots at the ground near the robot and he is knocked back before quickly recovers.

"How's your ring, Hal?" David asks.

"Just enough for one last trick." Hal replied.

He creates a holographic version of himself flying over. Razer sees the construct and goes after him. Soon Hal's ring runs out and the construct dissolves including the uniform. He is back to his air-force uniform. David sees Hal under fire from Razer. He flies and hammer punches Razer to the ground. He grabs Hal and flies back towards the ship. Razer recovers and goes after them. The small alien fires plasma at Ro. He gets hit and drops Hal on the ground. Hal keeps moving. He reaches to the top and quickly says the oath.

"In brightest day and blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight let those who worship evil's might; beware my power, Green Lantern's Light!"

Hal jumps on the engine of the Interceptor and recharges his ring. He is back in his uniform. David fires several rockets at the Reds and Hal fires a powerful beam. It hits them and they are thrown into deep space. Hal use so much power that he faints. Robotboy then returns to normal and helps Hal. Hal then wakes up and finds that he is back in the ship with David, his friends, and Kilowog.

"Easy, hotshot. Think you're pretty clever charging you ring off the engine like that huh? I say you're luck not to blow your arm off." Kilowog said.

"What about the other?" Hal asked.

"He's gonna be a little sore for the rest of his life." Kilowog replied.

"Are you guys alright?" David ask his friends.

"Yeah." Ven replied.

"Our constructs were destroyed by their rings so easily." Sora replied.

"Yeah. They were just two of those guys." Ahsoka said.

"I have been noticing anger within them. They are nearly similar to the Sith Lord in the Dark Side." Barriss said.

"Where are our friends, Ball and Chain?" Hal asked.

"Your firework display sent them on a little trip. But I got a bad feeling we'll be seeing them again soon." Kilowog replied.

"We should be ready. I have a feeling there will be more than two of them.

"But in the meantime, who knows. Maybe we'll be back in time for your date with Carol after all." Kilowog asked.

"I was thinking of returning to Kairi." Sora said.

"I want to return home so I can find my dad." Penny said.

"Barriss and I are willing to return to the Jedi Temple. Our masters are worrying." Ahsoka said.

"Dinner will have to wait. We're here now, we fight them. We stop them. What-ever it takes. How-ever long it takes. We stop them." Hal said.

"Guys, we're gonna be here for a while. We are now on the Frontlines..." David said to his friends.

The Interceptor flies into space as they are now in Frontier Space. They are the only hope for the Universe.
