AUTHORS NOTE
Heya guys, it hasn't been too long. Right? Hahaha.
Well, new chapter time!
The War of Light is reaching its climax!
James' Harem 2
The Blackest Night Looms
The power of the Orange Lantern was burning like a sun, Larfleeze jettisoned himself at the Titans and the Indigo Lanterns, drooling like a ravenous beast... like a serpent striking forwards.
"AWOOOOOOOOOOO!" James howled as he unleashed a sonic howl, at such a high frequency the air was basically aflame
Larfleeze's orange aura pulsed and shuddered, something about this howl... it was breaking him and it. This horrifying wolf-like alien was a predator. But he was not stopping! He roared as his fur was burnt, charging and tackling James
"James!" The group screamed in fear.
"Mine! Mine, mine, mine, Mine, MIne, MINe, MINEMINEMINEMINEMINE!" Larfleeze maddeningly screamed as he pushed past James, blasting him away
James bent backwards and riposted the alien away, giving him a just a little more push just to get that speed.
"Zinthos!" Raven called, formig tentacles of anti-light. She managed to grab Larfleeze and yanked him again, slamming him into the broken planet below.
CRASH!
The crater that Larfleeze crashed in was massive, the power he was exuding was intense and it was sustaining itself..
"I... I can't... Can't hold... On!" Raven grunted
"Our turn!" Arisia said as the five Lanterns charged energy in their rings
"Light'em up!" Lyssa proclaimed as they shot their blasts of light at Larfleeze.
Green, Yellow, Blue, Red and more Ree came rushing down, slamming into Larfleedz' back
'There's the Lantern!' Garfield thought, seeing the Lantern separated from Larfleeze.
"Booyah..." Vic blinked
"Guys! Let's help how we can!" Dick said "They can't hold out forever!" As he spoke, Nightwing pulled out a handful of special Wingdings and gave them a throw, causing them to land in a circle around Larfleez
"If you think those can hold him." Bleez commented.
Suddenly the Wingdings started giving off a loud sonic vibration, trapping Larfleez in another cage beyond the current assaults. A prison that was giving him agony
"AWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" James howled as he started unleashing his power again
"Let us go as well, Victor! Karen!" Starfire said, her hands alight with green power
"We're on it!" Victor answered, flying up with Karen and shot down their energy blasts to weaken the Orange Lantern. Just keeping up the attacks, anything
"Rose. You got that special gun?" Garfield asked "The one that can break apart Lantern Aura's for a few seconds?"
"Yeah, I do!" She nodded, bringing it out.
"Get ready for my signal." He answered as he turned into a snake
'What on earth is he doing?' She thought as she readied her shot. When she heard the rattle of his tail, she fired. The bullet raced through the air and stabbed into Larfleez's leg, his aura flickering at he screamed.
And Garfield bit his leg.
"He's got him!" Dick called out.
"That dang fool!" Victor commented about his best friend as Garfield rushed away
"A paralysis Venom. Should lock him up once it circulates!" The green Man smirked
"No! Stop! Stop it now!" Larfleez proclaimed angrily as was becoming paralysed by the attacks and venom.
"Members of the Ingido Tribe! Let us add Violet and Indigo light to these efforts!" Indigo-1 called
"Very well!" The fellow Indigo Lanterns agreed and began to channel the power of the Violet Light through their staves.
Purple and pink light came down, joining the other attacks as they hammered down onto Larfleez
CRASH!
CRACK!
BANG!
BOOM!
"Do you think this is working?" Kori asked.
"I don't know, but it better!" Rachel answered.
KABOOM
Dust and debris shot outwards as Larfleeze grunted in pain, as his power level had dropped down and he passed out.
"D-did we do it?" Garfield asked. "Did we stop him?"
"I think so... Ow, my jaw." James answered. He rubbed his jaw... Before his eyes became glassy and vacant "The Dark Night Falls through space, the Black Light searches to erase. Life flickers by the dark hand, how many world's will remain to stand?" he said in an echoey voice before the light returned to his eyes
The group looked at James in confusion and shock.
"James?" Raven asked in concern.
Kori few over to him and looked at his eyes. "Are you alright? You have never said that before."
"I... I'm not sure." He frowned "What did I say?"
"Okay. Don't freak out when you hear it." Garfield answered.
"What did I say?" James repeated.
"'The Dark Night Falls through space, the Black Light searches to erase. Life flickers by the dark hand, how many worlds will remain to stand?'" Raven answered calmly.
"Then your eyes returned to normal." Kori added.
"... I? I had a vision?" James asked in shock.
"What?" Raven asked
"I... Loboan's use to, in olden days, rare members of their race would gain the ability of sight. They'd be able to see visions into the future, prophecies and the like. Only female members of the race had this power. It is something that died down, but every now and again members of the race would randomly have the ability." James explained "My little sister Luna is one of those. I... I didn't realise that Ultimate Loboan's HAD those sort of powers."
"Well whatever it was, it sounded important." Dick answered.
"I'm just glad you weren't hurt from it." Kori gave her husband a hug.
...
...
...
"OH MY X'HAL, YOU ARE SO FLUFFY!" she squealed as she picked him up, hugging Lycan tightly while she nuzzled his fur
"Whoa, Kori!" James called out before he wheezed. "Too tight, TOO TIGHT!" As his eyes almost cartoonishly popped out of his head.
The Indigo Tribe members flinched, as the symbol of the Star Sapphire's flashed before their foreheads like a heart beat
"Sorry, hate to break this up... But we've got him to interrogate." Guy responded, lifting the unconscious Larfleeze up from the ground with his constructs.
"We better head back to Primus Lustre." Dick nodded
"FLUFFY!"
"Oof! Hey, Who else is hugging me?" James asked, having two sets of arms around him now. He tried to look over his shoulder, groaning. And he saw Arisia nuzzling into his fur.
"Hmm~, so fluffy." she mumbled
...
"Really?" Rachel dradpanned
"I like fluffy things. Okay?" Arisia answered. "S-Sorry."
"Just ask next time. Okay?" James sighed, reverting back to his human form as he broke from the hug. Well, slipped out of it because of his change of size. Causing him to stumble back...
puf
"Huh?" he blinked, feeling a pair of soft pillows around his head. And he could see a hint of blue out of the corner of his eyes
"Really?" Lyssa asked with a raised eyebrow
"This. Is. An accident." James apologised as he removed himself from her chest. "I'm sorry."
"Don't do it again." Lyssa glared.
"Do we win the bet?" Guy whispered to Hal... before Raven gave a death glare at him.
...
"Why do I feel like the devil is biting at our heels?" Hal whispered
"Can we get back to the matter at hand, please?" Indigo-1 asked, trying to keep her emotions in check as pulses of violet energy came from several members of the Indigo Tribe.
"Right." James nodded
*Sector 666*
Skar and the other Guardians were pouring more power and energy into the Black Lantern, trying to start its activation. It was flashing faster and faster, becoming more and more corporal
"This is it. That's it! More! We have to give more!" Skar proclaimed... and she suddenly grabbed one of her fellow guardians by the face, ripping their throat open with her other hand
"Skar! What have you done?" A guardian screamed in shock and fear.
"The Black Light is fueled by death!" She responded in madness, attacking another while summoning constructs to stab another two through the head. The remaining Guardians were appalled by this, horrified that this was the sacrifice needed for the Black Light! They had to escape.
But it was already too late as black tendrils ripped through them from the battery. Three of their members had already been slaughtered by one of their own. That was half of their numbers. And now, all but one of the Renegade Guardians survived
"The Blackest Night Falls From The Skies..."
Skar's voice echoed as blood, rainbow coloured blood, dripped to the floor
"The Darkness Grows As All Light Dies..."
slooop
Slurp
Squelch
Fttttt
Disgusting noises filled the air as Skar dragged her descended comrades around the 'battle field' they had just had, forming a symbol on the ground. The Book of Black flouting in the air
"We Crave Your Hearts And Your Demise..."
She spread her arms wide, an insane look in her eye as the Lantern materialized fully... And attacked her as she roared in joy. A black cocoon forming around her
*Primus Lustre*
"There. All locked and safe!" Hal smirked as he slammed the door closed on Larfleez
"Urgh..." Larfleeze groaned as he was inside.
"Good job everyone. Thank you." John respectfully praised the Titans and the Indigo Tribe.
"It is our honour to help our fellow Lanterns, Lantern Stewart." Indigo-1 responded.
"What do we do with this?" One Lantern asked as a bunch of them held the Orange Power Battery within a combined light bubble construct
"We can't destroy it. That'd probably let out some... thing. And we can't just dump it on some god-forsaken asteroid. Who knows who'd pick it up?" Guy answered.
"Maybe it's to be guarded?" Victor suggested. "Maybe put on the Indigo Tribe's home world and protected? You seem to be immune to its influence."
"It's possible. But we ourselves might be influenced should we be exposed to it. And the light bubble would mean multiple different Lanterns would have to help as well." An Indigo Lantern responded.
"Then... there's not a lot we can do." Garfield sighed.
"Indigo-1, if possible; would you reconsider joining the other members of the Lantern Corps for a meeting?" James offered.
"A meeting? Very well." She nodded
"Thank you. It's so we can fix this properly." James reassured.
"I understand. I will stay while most of our members return to Nok." Indigo-1 responded.
"Is... That what you're planet is called?"
"It is." Indigo-1 nodded simply. "If you will excuse us."
"Huh... Learn something new every day." Garfield commented as they watched the Indigo Tribe walked away
James' eyes widened a bit as he saw how Indigo-1's back loincloth swinging side to side 'No way! Does she not wear-' he thought
"You good James?" Rose asked
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm good. I'm good, thanks." He nodded, almost double taking.
Rose nodded, brushing her white hair behind her ear for a moment
"Well, we have some time before the trial." Carol Ferris, the leader of the Star Sapphire's, commented with a smile "So why don't you just explore and enjoy Primus Lustre."
"That actually sounds good. We need to have some downtime." Rachel admitted.
"Yeah." Victor nodded in agreement
Kori and Karen caught James' double-take, having caught him looking at Indigo-1. Admittedly, what happened with Arisia and Lyssa were accidents. But this Indigo-1 lady. They hummed, frowning, as Rose and Rachel smirked at them softly
'Well, well. We might have to see where this goes.' Rachel thought as she crossed her arms
*time skip*
The planet was a thriving metropolis of various aliens and businesses, Lanterns flew down and saw that there were grocers and butchers there for fresh food that was edible for different species. Many Lanterns having some form of 'alien currency' that was universal so they could buy items.
Dick was walking around, looking at the different stores in intrigue.
"Hmm... This is kind of weird." Dick commented as he looked around, since he wasn't sure what was jewellery or food without clear indication. 'It's like that place James mentioned from his home universe.'
"Anyone for some fresh fruits?" An alien asked, acting as a barker to get customers.
grumble~
...
"Damn it." Dick groaned as his stomach growled, he walked over to the fruit stall and looked at the various 'fruits'.
They looked like yellow aubergines with tentacles and purple spots, blue apples with yellow rings, dragonfruits, pinecone like fruits with round bulbs.
...
"I've eaten Starfire's cooking." He joked weakly
"Anything here you like, sir?" The grocer asked, gesturing their wares.
"Er... I don't think I have money in your currency " he said nervously
"Oh, I see." The grocer answered. "Which sector are you from?"
"Oh... where's Earth again?" Dick thought. "2814, I think?"
"Ah. The 'four mam' sector." The grocer nodded
"Yeah, sorry." Dick apologised.
"No, not at all." The grocer reassured. "These are normally well received." As they brought out some fruits. "I will put them on Lantern Gardner's tab."
"... Thank you." Dick answered as he received various fruits in a bag.
"Not at all."
*With Victor*
Victor was currently refueling the spaceship, it'd take an hour or so because of the specialised fuel needed. He hummed as he ran diagnostics... And felt a little bit inadequate. Since James BUILT this planet
"Are you alright, Mr Cyberian?" An alien asked as they approached Victor, seeing his disheartened look.
Victor turned around and saw a blue-skinned humanoid alien with two antennae and robotic legs and left arm. "Oh, hey there."
"Is this your ship?" The young alien asked.
"Yeah, it's all mine." he said proudly
"Wow, you must be the smartest member of the team." The alien commented with genuine praise.
"Er... not really." he laughed nervously
"Oh, right." The kid answered. "On my planet, the smarter a being is the more technology we integrate."
"Really?" He asked
"Yes." The kid nodded. "It is a great honour to talk to someone so good and smart as you, Mr Cyberian."
"Really?" He laughed nervously
"Yes, thank you." The child answered, giving a bow before leaving.
Victor smiled as he watched her hurry away. "Heh... I think I can do this." Victor told himself as he began to work on the ship, going to be better than before.
*with Raven*
Raven was with a member of the Indigo Tribe, the Lantern member wanting to learn her techniques to help better their corps.
It was wonderful
It was like being back on Azarath. Teaching the ways how to compose one's self and harness those powers with clarity.
"I must say, Raven, your teachings are simply amazing. I cannot believe that we are just scratching the surface of our powers." The Lantern spoke respectfully.
"My home did the same." She nodded slowly
"Perhaps you can share some meditation techniques for now. And in turn, we will share our knowledge with you." The Lantern offered.
"That would be interesting." Raven smiled
"Please, let us sit." The Lantern asked as he manifested an indigo carpet for them to sit on.
"You better not cause anything stupid. Otherwise, I might not show my meditation techniques." Raven 'joked', pointing at him.
"I promise, this is all academical." The Lantern answered as they soon began talking and discussing different meditative techniques to better themselves.
*With Starfire*
"Ha, ha!" Kori laughed from excitement as she was flying around Primus Lustre, seeing the sights that reminded her of home. She felt so at ease and happy to fly about this time.
It felt like home!
She felt her heart soar, seeing the skyline, the horizon, the cities below and the people living their lives.
"Room for one more?" A flying alien asked, wearing an aviator helmet and had butterfly wings.
"Oh, hello." She greeted
"You're one of the Titans, right?" The alien asked. "You came from Sector 2814?"
"Yes, that's correct." Kori answered. "Are you up for some sky-flying?"
"Sure." He nodded
The alien pulled down a pair of goggles and readied themselves for the flight. "Fly on go?"
"Very well." Kori smiled. "Three."
"Two."
"One."
"GO!" The two proclaimed and sped off through the sky, leaving a sonic boom and a slight green after image behind them.
Kori left a trail of green and fire behind her, the princess almost a blur
"Whoa! You're fast!" The alien laughed excitedly.
"Thank you, so are you!" Kori responded, giving a thumbs up. "Which corps do you belong to?"
"Oh, I'm part of the Star Sapphires." They responded. "This is just my off day!"
"Fascinating." Kori smiled
"Can I ask you something?" The alien asked.
"Of course." She answered.
"What's Sector 2814 like? What's *Earth* like?" The alien asked.
"Oh, it is just glorious~!" Kori said happily
"Wow, can't wait to visit if I'm around that way." The alien laughed as they were getting excited. "Look out!" The pointed as they were going through clouds but Kori just rushed through without hesitation and a happy cheer
*elsewhere*
James smiled softly as he looked into the planets skies. He felt happy that this place was still running, this system was working and he had made a planet for this society to thrive with.
This was... it was his masterpiece.
"Master James?" A familiar voice spoke to him, making him open his eyes.
"Huh? Oh, Sister Sercy." He spoke. "Everything alright?" He sat up, looking at the Blue Lantern "Also... please don't call me that."
"Yes, thank you for your concern." She sat with him, kneeling down. "I wished to thank you for your hospitality when traveling to Nok."
"Oh, that's no problem. What are friends for?" He asked. A smile was on his face, and it was like an arrow right to Sercy's heart
"May I ask you something?" She asked, trying to cover her heart and blush.
"Sure." He nodded
"How did you come up with this? This planet, this system, this... ecosystem. What inspired you?" Sercy asked.
"My home." James smiled "My family. Our universe."
Sercy blinked and nodded, only imagining what his family could be like. "Is it peaceful?"
"It's not perfect." He responded with a grin "And that MAKES it perfect!"
Sercy understood and smiled. "It sounds quite lovely."
"Oh, it is." He laughed with a smile "But I do enjoy it here."
"Your wives and life are here." She responded.
"Yep. And it's been a... hectic few years." He chuckled as she sat next to him
"I suppose you have many reasons to stay." Sercy added, almost whispering to him.
"Yeah, many." he nodded proudly. A large grin on his face
"Does the list of reasons to stay grow?" Sercy asked hopefully as she felt her heart thump in her ears.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Every day I am discovering new, amazing things about the universe. Meeting new people. And my family growing." James smiled with a grin "Besides, I have my family in my home dimension I can visit any time. But my family is also right here. I love them all just as much."
"Will there be more to add to your family?" she questioned
"Maybe. Who knows when one of the girls will get pregnant." James shrugged... completely missing the signals "Heck, Sarah might get pregnant. Garfield might have another litter. Nightwing and Duela might have another kid. It' a big family, anyone could make it bigger."
"I... I see." She muttered gently, but now just enjoying her time sitting with James.
"Yeah." He smiled "Thank you."
"For what?" Secy asked.
"Giving me insight and perspective with your Lantern Corps." James explained as he layed on his back, resting his head against his folded arms
"I am happy to help." She laid back next to him, hoping that he wouldn't mind.
*With Bleez*
Bleez flew silently towards the large red castle set up for the Red Lantern Corps, Atrocious had summoned her.
"Welcome back, Bleez." Atrocitus spoke as he saw her, his armour still styled like the Butcher entity as he was standing with his fellow Lanterns.
"Atrocious." She nodded
"I have called you here because of something I am sure you've noticed." He spoke "Your power ring."
"Yes. I've been worried." She answered. "I've not been using it as often and it's power has weakened." She looked at it, brushing her finger across it "The charge is lasting... not as long as it should and it feels like it's power output is weakening. Is my ring damaged?"
"No. You are." Atrocious growled softly
She looked up at him in confusion. "I am?"
"Yes. Your anger has ebbed away." Atrocitus answered. "You are... Content with life. Almost neutral. The blazing rage has become but an ember. Your ring is loosing it's power and hold."
"But... but if I lose it... I'll-"
"You understand. You are not a fool." He answered, knowing the fall out need not be said
"What can I do?" She asked in worry
Atrocitus sighed and shook his head. "Disconnect yourself from these bonds."
"You... I... I have to what?" Bleez asked in confusion
"That boy, Tennyson. He is killing you by showing you compassion, lowering your rage." He explained.
"No! You're wrong!" she snapped, snarling at him
Atrocitus blinked and flinched a little by her response.
"He is not making me weak! He has been helping me!" She answered. "My problem is... is ... " She lowered her head, biting her lip "The reason for my anger... I've let go. I am still filled with rage. But my REASON for rage is gone. While yes James was involved with that, HE didn't do it."
"Oh, really?" Atrocitous asked with a slight growl
"Yes." she nodded darkly "My need for revenge is gone."
"Well, if that is gone; what is your reason for anger?" He questioned.
"I..." she muttered, guilt filling her eyes "... my existence." she whispered
"You are enraged by your very existence?" He asked, turning and looking at her.
"I can not be at peace. Have children. Have a future. This ring has cursed me to this corps for all eternity. THAT is my new anger." she responded before walking away
Atrocitus heard this and let her go, realising that this life was hers. And that this was her end as well.
*elsewhere*
Lyssa entered the Sinestro Corps' base on Primus Lustre.
"Lyssa, welcome." Sinestro spoke, nodding gently to her.
"Lord Sinestro." she nodded proudly and calmly, looking at their amazing base of operations. It was a mixture of technology and comfort, the Yellow Corps' own campus. Unlike the Red Lantern's castle, theirs was more like a modern art piece. "I have returned." Lyssa said as she got on one knee
"Lyssa, stand. I take it from your appearance, you have learned much from the Titans?" He asked.
"Possibly." she nodded, standing tall
"Good. Congratulations on finding the Indigo Tribe." Sinestro praised her. "Tell me, have you updated the Book of Parallax with what you have learned?"
"Yes, I have." She nodded, opening the book and showed the memories of her time with the Titans... even the most recent one with James.
...
"There is... a LOT of notes about this James." Sinestro blinked
"He... has been influential and a person of interest." She responded... and removed the note of James accidentally falling into her chest.
"Personal interest?" Sinestro asked with a smirk
"Of-of a sort, Sir." She answered. "I thought this one would not be pertinent to the mission."
"Not for this mission. But maybe..." Sinestro hummed, crossing his arms behind his back
"'Maybe' what, Sir?" She asked, looking at him, seeing his altered armour that resembled Paralax.
"That Tennyson boy has connections across our universe already. And he has the ears of the likes of the Justice League, and the council." Sinestro commented, his arms crossing behind his back
"I understand that. He... He seems to be connected to quite a few members here." Lyssa added.
"So a possible alliance with him would benefit us in the future. Maybe an arranged marriage. Or a sweet voice to whisper ideas into his ear as he slept." Sinestro said in a polite and non-exact tone, as if talking about the weather. But the way he looked at Lyssa, the message was clear. He wanted her to get close to him. Get intimate with the hero. Place herself within his circle. To give the Sinestro Corps and 'in' using her "It is a shame. Since that Red Lantern girl already gives them an advantage over the other corps in that manor."
"From what I understand, James is in a polyamorous relationship. Having multiple partners as well as wives." Lyssa responded.
"Yes. But if this plan does go into play, she has an advantage on you already Lyssa." Sinestro continued
"I understand, Sir." Lyssa answered. "Maybe if I can ingratiate myself with his spouses, then maybe I can bring myself closer to him."
"Good, good."
"I will do my best, Sinestro Sir." She finished, returning to her feet.
"Good." He nodded "You becoming part of the Tennyson boy's harem would be a great book to our Corps' standing in the alliance. I expect great things, Lyssa."
"I will do all I can, Sir. May I take my leave?" She asked.
"Of course, we have important work to do." He reassured her and let her leave.
Lyssa left, holding the Book of Parallax carefully
*With Arisia*
"So, who else bet on me?" She asked the Green Lantern Corps. She stood there, in... What was essentially a bar/hotel, which was the Green Lantern's base on the shared base planet. Surrounded by a blazing green aura of will as she glared
"Arisia, calm down. It was just a joke. Banter between colleagues." A Green Lantern responded.
"Not when it comes to my love life!"
She snapped, stomping her foot
CRACK!
She had stomped the ground and cracked it. "Why? What's wrong with me liking someone that it's your business?"
"It was more a joke about James rather than you, kiddo." Killowog commented "We didn't mean anything by it."
"Well!" She huffed before calming down. "... I guess that makes sense."
...
And then she slapped her hand through the air.
A glowing green fist construct came rushing through the air... and into the face of Guy Guardner.
PUNCH!
SLAM!
"There. Better." She sighed
*time skip*
It was time.
For Larfleez's trial.
The monster was tied up in construct chains and a muzzle, set up in the core of the meeting room where the council and the Guardian's met and discuss everything.
Meanwhile his Battery was locked away within chains made out of every Lantern Colour. The Lanterns were glaring at the captured, strained and enraged Larfleeze grunted to try and free himself but was struggling.
BANG
BANG!
"Silence everyone!" A Guardian asked, beginning the trial of Larfleeze.
Ganthent, the unoffical leader of the Guardians, stood at the top. The leaders of the other six Corps flouting just bellow the Guardians.
"Larfleeze of the Orange Lanterns, you are accused of the murders of several hundred Lanterns of various Corps." Ganthet spoke clearly. "How do you plead?" And he nodded to remove the muzzle from Larfleeze's mouth.
"Gah! Hnn! Not guilty! Not guilty!" Larfleeze snapped, almost barking at the Guardians. "Bastards! Steal from Larfleeze!"
"Silence, worm!" Atrocitous hissed
"Not guilty!" Larfleeze snarled before the muzzle was forced back on him.
"Stop this!" Ganthet proclaimed, banging the gavel to bring justice and a more level headed area.
"Release him, he deserves to speak!" Saint Walker ordered
"You broke our agreement, Larfleez." One Guardian spoke "The deal of no-contact and non-interference between ourselves and you."
"Lie! Lie! All lies! You lie!" Larfleez ranted "You attacked! You Guardians! Attacked! Attacked first! Broke deal! So I take!"
The court looked at each other in shock. Was this true? Did they attack first? How? Wasn't it because Larfleeze attacked first and kill the Lantern Corps?
"That's impossible!" One Guardian hissed
"No! Guardians attack first! Larfleeze defend! Get payback! You broke deal! You liars!" Larfleeze defended himself.
"I have a hard time believing that he is lying. Considering your history." Sinestro said as he frowned at the Guardians
"If you are saying WE attacked you..." Ganthet frowned "Larfleez. Please. Tell me what happened?"
"Larfleeze hold Lantern. Larfleeze happy with Lantern. Smell. Smell of death. Flying Guardians. Guardians came." Larfleeze spoke in his somewhat deranged and broken language. "Guardians attacked! Hurt me! Then ran away!"
The Guardians and court looked at each other in shock as Larfleeze gave his story.
"No... No, no, no. It can't be." Sayd whispered in shock and worry.
"Did one of these Guardians have a scar? Over their eye and looked like a burn scar?" Another Guardian asked.
"Yes! Disgusting, disgusting creature!" Larfleez hissed
"Release him!" Ganthet ordered
The Lanterns looked at them before nodding, releasing Larfleeze from the bindings.
Larfleeze dropped to the ground and panted heavily. "Stupid. Stupid thieves. Stupid Lanterns."
"Sir, why?" A random Lantern asked
"I was wondering where they went..." Sayd mumbled
"Can someone give us some hints on what's going on? We don't want to be left in the dark here!" Guy called out.
"'Dark'. How apt, Lantern Gardener." Ganthet frowned.
...
"What?" Guy asked
"It seems... Skar and our fellow Guardian's have orcistrated something terrible." Ganthet frowned "They orchestrated the War of Light. To bring forth... the Blackest Night."
*Ryut, Sector 666*
On the decaying ground of a dead world, the Black Lantern Battery stood tall. A deep grey mist poured out like thick soup.
A figure was dragging the bodies of the six dead Guardian's across the planet's surfaces, leaving a trail of rainbow coloured blood in their wake.
"The Blackest Night Falls From The Skies..."
The dead bodies where being dragged in such a way that a symbol was being made in the ground. A triangular symbol with a series of lines. A forbidding symbol. One that promised death itself
"The Darkness Grows, As All Light Dies."
The figure was Skar. Now wearing new robes, the Robes suited for the Guardian of the Black Light!
"We Crave Your Hearts And Your Demise..."
Skar flouted high into the air, arms spread into a T-pose. The bodies of her fellow Guardian's turned to ash as their blood glowed and lost all colour, the power being absorbed into the Lantern
"By My Black Hand-"
The mad Guardian's eyes where solid black now as she chanted, arching her back as the Black Light bubbled like a liquid
"The Dead Shall RISE!"
As she finished, a hand suddenly burst out of the 'liquid light' of the the Black Light...
...
As well as roughly one hundred Black Lantern Rings, said Rings flying out into space...
