Neo Metropolis
(Smoke and fire raise into air, as Mysterio and his "Elementals" continued to cause havoc in Neo Metropolis. Said fish bowl villain, using his illusions, appears as a giant, looking over the city.)
Mysterio:(Seeing everyone running around in a panic) That's right, run! Flee from the power of Mysterio!
(Before the villain could continue, he was hit in the face by a glob of webbing. After getting rid of the webbing, Mysterio turn to see his arch enemy, Spider Man, along with Purple Diamond, Purple Pearl, Aquaman, Superman, And Red Tornado.)
Mysterio: Ah, Spider Man! I was wondering when you'd show up. And I see you brought some friends along as well.
Spider Man: Shut your fish bowl, Mysterio! Tell us why you and your friends are doing this?
Mysterio: I don't have to tell you anything, Web-head! This doesn't concern you!
Superman: Since you're attacking my city, it concerns ME!
(Superman then flies into Mysterio's chest, knocking the villain over.)
Mysterio:(Hitting the ground)Oof! You miserable brute!(Gets up and looks for the "Elementals") Help me, you idiots!
Sandman: Don't get you bowl in a twist.
(That's when the "Elementals" started to absorb their components. Sandman getting sand from a construction site, Hydro Man getting water from the docks, Molten Man getting molten metal from a nearby foundry, and Cyclone getting clouds from the sky. Once they were done, they were now giant monstrosities.)
Mysterio: Go forth and destroy them, my Elementals!
(Then the battle began. Spider Man took on Mysterio, Superman took on Sandman, Purple Pearl took on Molten Man, Aquaman took on Hydro Man, and Red Tornado took on Cyclone. Purple Diamond seemly took off somewhere. Spider Man swinged around Mysterio, while the villain tried to catch him.)
Mysterio:(Swipes at Spider Man, but misses) Hold still, you miserable bug!
(Purple Pearl, using her weapon, a rapier, jabbed Molten Man a few times before dodging a blast of molten metal from said villain. Superman threw a few punches at Sandman, only this didn't have any effect. Superman then used his cold breath to freeze the sandy giant's chest. While this did work, Sandman shifted his body to use his froze limb as a bat. In the water, Aquaman and Hydro Man were busy with their fight, with the aquatic king sending fish into the water monster's body, annoying it. Finally, Cyclone and Red Tornado were in the air, trying to blast one another out of the sky. As the battle continued, the "Elementals" suddenly stopped and grabbed their heads in pain. They then turned and marched towards Mysterio.)
Mysterio:(Looks at them in confusion) What are you idiots doing?!
Purple Pearl:(Suddenly shouts) My Lord!
(Standing on the Daily Planet was Purple Diamond, with his arms out. With a motion of a hand, the "Elementals" started to attack Mysterio.)
Spider Man: Using using them as puppets.
Purple Pearl: He truly is the Elemental Master.
(Once Mysterio is good and beaten, his illusion wore off, returning him to his normal size. Spider Man walked up and grabbed the villain by the collar.)
Spider Man:(Shaking Mysterio) Now tell us why you and your "buddies" where attacking Metropolis!
Mysterio: L-Lex Jr located a mine-shaft full of kryptonite near Smallville, so he send us five to distract you while sending five others to mine it.
Purple Diamond: Looks like we're going to Kansas.
Meanwhile
(On Planet Oa, Dragnarok, along with Green Lanterns Hal and John, and Za'Mag'Nu were fighting the Grublin forces. Thanks to Dragnarok destroying the Elite Grublins, the Green Lantern Corps now have a fighting chance. They were able to take back most of the planet, leaving the Citadel of Oa the only thing left to be reclaimed.)
John Stewart:(Looking at the entrance door) Come on, the Guardians are counting on us.
(Once they entered the building, the heroes spotted the Guardians trapped in cages made of Black Lantern light. Standing in front of the cages, was Jinmen.)
Jinmen: I was wondering when you lot would've showed up.
Za'Mag'Nu: We have came to free Oa and stop this madness.
Jinmen: Free Oa will not stop any thing. (He then looks at Dragnarok and laughs) You know whats funny? I can sense you dying on the inside, piece by piece. Soon, you'll be a hollow shell of what you once were.
Dragnarok: If that means putting an end to you and your group's insanity, then so be it.
(Jinmen snorted, before raising is ring into the air.)
The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies.
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!
(Jinmen then summons a giant scythe and slashes at the band of heroes, only for them to dodge. Za'Mag'Nu and the Green Lanterns summoned weapons of their own and fought the Black Lantern head on. While the Lanterns fought, Dragnarok blasted the cages with beams of Aether, destroying them and freeing the Guardians. After a while, the three heroic Lanterns managed to overwhelm Jinmen, knocking him to the ground.)
Jinmen:(Breathing heavily) You may have won this battle, but the war isn't over.
(Jinmen then summons a black portal, which he uses to escape. Once he was gone, the Guardians walked up to them.)
Guardian#1: Thank you for helping us.
Dragnarok: It was nothing.
Guardian#2: Still, you did us a great service. And we wish you good luck on your journey.
(With that, the heroes returned home. Once they were back at the base, they spotted Purple Diamond waiting for them.)
Purple Diamond:(Smiling) Man, do I have a story to tell you.
Meanwhile...
(In the Dark World, the formerly known Void of Nothingness, Eternal was listening to Jinmen's reports on losing their hold on Oa.)
Eternal: It is of no matter, we got what we wanted anyway.
(That's when Malphas appeared.)
Malphas: Eternal, We've managed to locate the Miracle Machine.
Eternal: Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it!
(As Malphas left, Eternal chuckled to himself. 0
Eternal: Everything is going as planned.
