Hi again! Reviews have been slow, but thanks again to those that are following the story and posting feedback! Now, on with the much-anticipated Chapter 9!
Marvel/DC VS The Villains From HFIL
Chapter 9: In Brightest Day, In Darkest Night...
"Kilowog..." Kyle Raynor whispered in disbelief as Kilowog's lifeless body fell to the ground.
"Kyle, hold it together!" Katma yelled at Kyle. "We're the only ones left! We have to work together or the Green Lantern Corps. Dies!" She stared at him intently, and Kyle nodded in agreement.
Brolli looked down at the last two Green Lanterns with amusement. In an instant he descended upon Kyle, who didn't have time to put up a shield as Brolli prepared to destroy him.
However, all of a sudden a Green Lantern ring blast hit him in the back, knocking him off balance. Brolli looked over his shoulder, and saw a new Green Lantern hovering near him, his ring extended towards Brolli and an angry expression on his face.
"John! What are you doing here?!" Kyle asked as Brolli looked back and forth between Kyle and John.
"Kid, get out of the way!" John yelled, and Brolli smiled and prepared to blast Kyle. Katma, however, had already used John's distraction to reach Kyle, and pushed him out of the way just as Brolli fired his energy blast. It hit Katma Tui at point-blank range, killing her.
"Katma! NOOOOO!" John yelled as he witnessed her die.
"We must invoke the power." The Guardians chanted, swaying methodically in the Great Hall of the Green Lantern Corps. "With our chant, let the power of the Rings be increased 10 fold!" The Guardians chanted, and the Light grew stronger than ever. "That is all we can do, Green Lanterns. Let the Light guide you to victory."
Brolli fired another energy blast at John, who had his shield up. Normally, not even his shield would be able to protect him from being destroyed by Brolli's blast. But...
"What the...?" Brolli asked as John's shield successfully withstood the attack. John was equally surprised, and both John and Kyle realized the light emitting from their rings was growing stronger than ever.
Brolli smiled and hovered to a higher altitude above OA. John and Kyle followed him, on opposite sides of Brolli and with their shields around them. Their expressions were that of anger as they stared at Brolli, who had a smile as he stared straight ahead rather than at either of them.
"Why do you rush to your deaths?" Brolli chuckled as his eyes turned to both of them without moving his head (similar to how his eyes followed Goten and Trunks in Brolli's third DBZ Movie).
"Yah!" John yelled as he fired a green blast from his ring, and Kyle did the same. Brolli smiled and jumped out of the way and quickly fired two energy blasts at both John and Kyle, who were unharmed thanks to their shields.
"Heh heh..." Brolli chuckled as he flew behind John so fast he didn't even see it. Seizing the opportunity, he fired an energy blast at John's back, not injuring him but knocking him into Kyle (who had noticed Brolli behind John but wasn't quick enough to warn him). Once John hit Kyle, Brolli fired a powerful energy blast that engulfed the two, harming but not killing them.
Brolli chuckled as the two slowly recovered, and then raised his hand to signal them to attack him. This time it was Kyle who rushed forward, John close behind. Brolli allowed them to fire their blasts as they charged, then fired his own blast to counter theirs. Brolli's blast easily over-powered theirs and hit the two Green Lanterns head-on. Brolli chuckled as he waited for the smoke to clear, but when it did he was surprised to learn that the two were gone.
"NOW, KYLE!" John yelled as he formed a green bubble around Brolli. Kyle fired hundreds of bursts of green energy blasts at the bubble, which allowed the energy blasts to get in without allowing Brolli to get out. The green energy hit Brolli with amazing accuracy.
"Looks like we did it." Kyle smiled. John kept the bubble up, though.
"We don't know that for sure, though." John said as the smoke cleared. Sure enough, Brolli emerged unharmed, but much angrier.
"You..." He breathed, looking at John with absolute hatred. "You...." He hissed, turning to Kyle. With a cry, Brolli powered up to Legendary Super Sayain 2, shattering John's shield in the process.
"HAAAA!" Brolli let out an unearthly cry, emitting so much energy that John and Kyle were barely able to protect themselves from it, but the planet OA wasn't so resilient. As Kyle and John watched in horror, the planet OA shattered and exploded as a result of the power emitting from the Sayain. When all was said and done, only Brolli, John, Kyle, the Great Hall of the Green Lantern, and various pieces of the planet were left drifting in space where OA used to be.
"OA!!!!" John yelled, firing the most powerful beam his ring would emit. Brolli quickly countered with his own energy beam, and for a short time Brolli and John were in the middle of a beam battle. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Brolli to over-power John using his Super Sayain 2 Transformation.
"AAAH!" John yelled as his body was engulfed in Brolli's blast.
"JOHN!!!" Kyle yelled as he flew over to his friend. Kyle looked over John. He was dying...
As Brolli noticed the Great Hall was still intact, he left Kyle and flew over to see if a greater fighter was inside the Great Hall.
"Kid.... I don't think I'm gonna make it..." John said, in his death throws.
"Don't say that..." Kyle said, crying. "What would I tell Superman?" Kyle forced a smile.
"Heh." John laughed, then coughed. "It's up to you now, kid. Thousands of Green Lanterns gave their lives for the cause, son. Don't let it all..." His eyes began to glaze over. "Go to waste..." He died in Kyle's arms.
"John..." Kyle cried. He let out a wail and turned to the Great Hall, where Brolli had just finished killing the Guardians.
"YOU!!!" Kyle said, crashing into the great hall.
"My name is Brolli." Brolli sneered, looking at Kyle in amusement. "Kyle Raynor." Kyle stumbled back in slight shock.
"How..." He looked at the Guardians on the ground. "Of course."
"They were telling me that you and your friend were such great fighters." Brolli continued to sneer. "So, now it's your turn, Kyle."
Kyle was thinking a mile a minute... only one option, and it might kill him...
"HA!" Kyle yelled emitting a light from his ring. Brolli was temporarily blinded, and Kyle took his last, desperate chance.
He entered the Great Lantern, the source of the Green Lantern's power, and recited the oath.
"In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night, No Villain shall escape my Might. Let All Who Worship Evil's Might, Beware My Power, Green Lantern's Light!"
And with that, he became one with the light, and Kyle Raynor was no more.
Brolli recovered, and noticed that a new being resembling Kyle Raynor was hovering in front of him, glowing with the light of the Green Lantern that seemed to radiate off his body.
"What trick is this, Kyle Raynor?" Brolli asked mockingly.
"I am not Kyle Raynor." The being said, his voice booming. "I am Ion."
So, that was the end of the Chapter 9! Pretty good stuff, right? Remember to Review Please! And now, the "teaser" to Chapter 10!

"That's right. We didn't. Now we do. So do it!"
