Part 3: Alan's First Mission…Stop Major Disaster!
Alan was walking down the street when he noticed a strange hooded man in a white and blue costume. The man raised up his arms to a building, and to Alan's shock, whirlwinds formed from the man's hands, causing the building to be lifted in a huge tornado! "Where are you Green Lantern?! I'll tear this town apart until I, Major Disaster, find you!!!" screamed the man as he shook the building with his air control powers. Alan knew it was time for his first mission as the new Green Lantern, as he took off his sunglasses, and activated his ring. In a flash of green light, Alan's clothes were replaced with the Green Lantern uniform, and he felt the green energy fill his body.
"You looking for me?" asked Green Lantern as he flew out from his hiding spot, covered in a green aura. He fired a beam from his ring, but Major Disaster saw him and dodged in time.
Major Disaster smirked and said, "Now I can have my revenge for you putting in me in jail!" before he raised his arms up again, and made water from a nearby fountain gush into the Green Lantern, pressing him against the wall.
"He…must…mean…John…" thought Green Lantern, as he struggled to break free of Major Disaster's water control attack.
Major Disaster continued, "I can
still feel the shame of my defeat; it was all I can think about while I was
locked in solitary confinement, doing community service, and making license
plates! The only cure for my embarrassment is YOUR DEATH!!!" He was about to
increase the intensity of the gushing water, but his talking gave Green Lantern
the time he needed to aim his ring, and form a green energy plate in front of
him. He pressed the plate against the water with all his might, eventually
forcing the water into Major Disaster, sending him flying into the wall. Major
Disaster snarled and used his earth control powers to break concrete rocks from
the road and fling them towards the Green Lantern, but the green clad hero was
ready. He used the ring to create a force field to protect his body from the
rocks, and soon Major Disaster was tiring out. "I hate you…I hate you…I hate
you…I HATE YOU!!!" screamed Major Disaster, before he tried to use his air
control power again, planning to throw the Green Lantern into the telephone
poles; the whirlwinds from his hands began to form into a tornado and would
have scooped up Green Lantern, if the hero hadn't fired into the eye of the
storm. The dispersed whirlwind distracted Major Disaster for a few minutes,
giving Green Lantern the chance to punch him in the jaw.
"It's time for you go back to jail!" shouted Green Lantern, before he fired a beam that knocked Major Disaster unconscious. He then used green energy from his ring to carry Major Disaster's out cold body to prison, smiling that he completed his first mission with flying colors. After running to a secluded place, Green Lantern changed back to Alan Douglas, before he headed home. A few months passed and Alan had upheld justice greatly in the world, when one day he was heading for John's apartment.
"John! John! Oh there you are," said Alan as he searched the apartment before he found the former Green Lantern lying in bed. "Out of bed John. John? Wake up. John? John?" said Alan, shaking John's body, before a horrifying thought came to him. He grabbed John's wrist and pressed his fingers against it, before gasping and lowering his head in sadness…
A few days after John Stewart's funeral, Alan came up to his friend's grave and said, "John, I promise I will keep the world save, just as you wish. Goodbye my friend, till the day we meet again," He walked away, knowing though John was now gone, a torch had been passed, and the world had a new guardian.
