Sinestro continued to battle against the Earth's forces. With the exception of Batman, who was helping Bulma. Yamcha currently had the upper hand over his opponent. However it was clear that he was starting to tire. The desert bandit smashed Sinestro with a deadly right hook. This sent him hurtling into the ground. Sinestro stood up and found himself surrounded.
"I must admit, you earthlings are very strong... For a primitive race, that is." He reluctantly complemented.
"You fought valiantly, but for your own sake... stand down." Diana responded, pointing her sword at him. The yellow lantern gritted his teeth in anger.
"That man took the two people who cared for me most. I promise you, either he dies... or I do."
"That's not going to happen!" Hal added. Vegeta though had lost his patience.
"Enough of this!" He shouted, sending a Ki blast Sinesto's way. The yellow lantern managed to dodge. This meant that the attack actually hit Krillin, knocking him out. Sinestro and Vegeta once again went after each other, however this time Hal joined in. Yamacha and Diana stood trying to catch their breaths.
"Yamcha, can't you use the Kaio Ken to knock Sinestro out?" The amazon warrior asked.
"I can maybe use it one more time, but I'm almost out of juice. Any more and I could permanently damage my body. I've already died once, I wouldn't really like to repeat it." He replied, heavily panting. Back over at the fight Sinestro blasted Vegeta with a laser gun he created. The Saiyan prince tried to get in close. Though he couldn't find his way through the barrage of attacks. The sheer amount of force behind each attack was excruciating. Every fibre of Vegeta's body wanted him to stop. However his pride kept him going.
"You just don't know when to give up... Pathetic." Sinestro taunted his family's killer. Vegeta looked up to see a giant hand smashing him into the ground. He could feel at least two broken bones. His pale hands shook faster than anything he had ever seen before. The yellow lantern stood over him, ready for the kill. "This is for all the lives you have ruined." However before finishing Vegeta off, Sinestro felt his hands restrained. The former green lantern looked down to see handcuffs on him.
"You know it took me a while to realise. But you have to use your hands to create constructs. Sucks to be you right now." The pilot joked. Sinestro felt the anger build up inside. He was so close to his revenge, it couldn't end now.
"You'll pay for this Jordan!"
"Yeah... I don't think so. Your going to face justice for every crime you've committed. I'm taking you to the guardians."
"No!" Vegeta tried to shout, but he could only whisper. "He's mine!"

Gohan rocketed towards Kara and the cloudburst. The son of Goku had just one focus on his mind, getting Bulma's cure to Kara. However because the toxin was a deep shade of green, visibility was an issue. It was almost impossible to see anything more than ten feet away. Gohan kept going though. He knew that with every second he wasted, the toxin's effects would become greater. Eventually he found the Sensõ-Ji. However now the toxin was starting to take effect. Gohan looked around and saw both his parents with holes in their chests. The red blood dripped from their still corpses.
"It's not real. It's not real." The half Saiyan kept repeating to himself. Gohan kept pushing forward. He managed to spot Kara in the distance, knowing his job was almost complete. More images popped up. First it was Krillin with his arm detached. Then Flash with hand marks on his neck. Gohan finally walked past the body of Piccolo. However unlike the others Piccolo was still alive. He grabbed Gohan's ankle in desperation.
"Why?" He whispered before taking his last breath. The young boy looked down in utter horror. The man who he spent an entire year training with. The man who was like a second father to him... was gone. Gohan knew he couldn't continue any longer. So he threw the cure to Kara. However before she could catch it an energy blast ripped through her. Gohan was left speechless as her limp body fell to the ground. Behind her stood the one person that Gohan least expected... Himself. The second Gohan smirked as he saw his counterpart. Gohan's pain turned into anger as even more bodies started to pile up. Bulma... Robin... Superman. They were all dead because of him. And Gohan swore he would make things right.
The half Saiyan charged in at full speed. However with just a flick of his wrist, his counterpart swatted Gohan away. Though Gohan didn't give up. Again he charged at his evil twin. However once again he was sent flying backwards, this time into a wall. The pain rushed through Gohan's entire body, sweat dripped down his face. However Gohan kept standing back up. The son of Goku didn't know if it was willpower or just stubbornness, keeping him going. And frankly at this point he didn't even care. Gohan screamed, as he once again charged at his opponent.
.
Hal couldn't believe it. After just witnessing Sinestro pushing Vegeta all the way to his breaking point. The Saiyan prince wanted to keep fighting him. The pilot knew that if Vegeta kept going, he would surely perish. And he couldn't have something like that on his conscience.
"What are you, stupid? We caught Sinestro... It's over!" Hal shouted. Vegeta though continued to step forward.
"No... This is my fight. I will be the one to take him down!" He ordered.
"Don't be an idiot, you can barely stand as it is. How do you think you'll win?"
"Saiyan warriors thrive when pushed to our absolute limits." While this conversation was happening, Sinestro planned his escape. The yellow lantern's breath slowed, his eyes looked for an opportunity. And when Hal walked beside him, he took it. Sinestro created a dagger and dropped it on Hal's foot. This caused the green handcuffs to fade away. Vegeta launched several Ki blasts, however Sinestro created a glove and threw them all back. One smashed Vegeta into the ground at blistering speed. The other one hit Diana into her leg. The amazon screamed in pain, clutching her leg. While this was going on, Yamcha powered up again. This time he knew that it was all or nothing.
"Kaio Ken times two!" He yelled, charging towards the lantern. "Wolf fang fist!" In a flash he launched his signature move. Yamcha kicked Sinestro, followed by a barrage of punches. And finishing with a final double punch to send him flying through the air. Yamcha felt his entire body shake, that final attack had taken everything out of him. The desert bandit collapsed in exhaustion. The heat made it almost impossible to get back up. Yamcha looked forward, to see what had happened to his opponent. And to his horror he saw Sinestro still standing. Albeit having taken a lot of damage. The yellow lantern clenched his fist in pure rage.
"I'll deal with you later." He told Yamcha. Who could only look on as Sinestro walked over to Vegeta. "You had this coming." In response the Saiyan warrior spat on his enemy's shoes. "You know what, Vegeta? Underneath all that pride, your just a pathetic little prince... Weeping over his lost kingdom." Sinestro created an axe to finish Vegeta off. The yellow head glistened in the sunlight. "For my family."

Kara caught the cure that Gohan had thrown at her. The former Ginyu force member immediately called Robin, knowing that she had to move fast.
"Alright I've got the cure." She quickly said, wanting to get a move on.
"O.k... Open that panel and replace Scarecrow's toxin with the cure." The boy wonder responded. Kara immediately did as instructed.
"Now what?"
"Close the panel and let go of that button. The cloudburst will need a minute to start up, so just make sure it doesn't move." Kara let go of the button and immediately raced to Gohan. She knew that her best friend was going through hell right now. However Kara stopped in her tracks when she noticed the rage in his eyes. Before she could even speak a word, Gohan charged at her. The Kryptonian used her super breath to knock him back. Yet Gohan wouldn't give up, whatever he was seeing, made him enraged beyond comprehension.
"Die!" The young boy screamed and once again charge at Kara. This time though he managed to hit Kara, smashing her into the wall.
"Robin... How long left?" She stuttered before dodging an attack.
"Thirty seconds left. Wait, what's going on down there? You sound out of breath." Batman's sidekick asked.
"Oh you know just ran into a slight problem." Kara blocked a chain of attacks from her best friend. Who just wouldn't give up. Gohan powered up and readied himself for a Ki blast. Kara knew she was in a no win situation. One one hand, if she fought back. Then Gohan might end up critically injured. On the other hand, if she didn't fight back. Then the cloudburst would be destroyed.
"Masenko..." Gohan shouted. Time was running out, and Kara had to think quick. Risk her or Gohan's life. Or risk all of Tokyo's residents lives. In the end, it wasn't much of a choice at all. Kara readied herself and launched her heat vision at the half Saiyan. "Ha!" Gohan's Ki attack flew towards the red beams. Both attacks collided, blowing away all of the walls. The few people that were left, ran away screaming very loudly. The battle continued as Gohan, started to gain an upper hand. Kara kept going, giving it everything she had. Pushing her body past whatever limits she previously had. But eventually the pure rage of Gohan's masenko overpowered her heat vision.
Kara felt a humongous explosion right in front of her. The force of impact sent her flying backwards. Her body started to ache all around. Making it impossible to even stand up. The Kryptonian started to hear footsteps coming towards her. At first they were almost silent, however one after another the footsteps increased in decibels. Until eventually she looked up and saw her best friend about to do something unspeakable. Kara closed her eyes. Not wanting her last sight to be Gohan like this.
"Kara?" Gohan questioned. Kara opened her eyes to see the half Saiyan back to normal. And a huge blue cloud covering the sky. "Oh Kami... What have I done?"
"It's alright... You weren't in full control." Kara tried to comfort him. Gohan hugged his friend, while crying.
.
Sinestro was about to finish the job he spent so long obsessing over. The one thing that he wanted more than anything... Revenge. It was right there in front of him. And yet as he swung down, Sinestro spotted the blue cloud appear over Tokyo. The earthlings had used the cloudburst for their cure. However before he could even think, Hal smashed him in the back with an anvil. Sinestro stood up, now looking very infuriated.
"Stop this Sinestro, your plan is over." Hal shouted, making Sinestro howl in laughter.
"You think that this was my plan all along?" The yellow lantern responded, walking forwards. "This was just a taster of what is to come. Soon the entire universe will know the power of fear. And I will be the..." Before he could finish though, Vegeta found the strength to smash Sinestro in his back. Causing him to crash into the ground. Vegeta extended his hand, ready to finish the yellow lantern off. However before he could fire, a green energy shield surrounded the former apprentice of Abin Sur.
"Stand down... Sinestro will face judgement from the guardians." Vegeta scoffed at that statement.
"If he comes back for revenge, I'm not saving you all." The prince said. During this, Diana was helping Yamcha up. And they joined the other two.
"You know, the guardians won't be able to prosecute me if they're all dead." Sinestro mocked. Earning a confused look from the others.
"What do you mean?" Hal interrogated his former colleague.
"Let me ask you something, Jordan. How do you think I got this ring in the first place?" At that point the lightbulb switched on. Hal could barely stand as he figured it out.
"Lantern, what is it?" Diana asked.
"It's Parralax." Hal whispered. "Sinestro's just set him free."

So I hoped you enjoyed.

X3runner: Most of this stuff would be spoiler territory. What I can say is that Chi Chi isn't affected she lives way out in the wilderness and the cloudburst only has a limited range.
