And Injustice For All 2

Chapter 61: Starro the Conqueror

"Last Czarnian, I have a new task for you," Metron.

"The Main Man doesn't do tasks, no matter who's asking. You got a paying job, I'm all ears."

"You will be paid well, Lobo, to keep Blue Beetle alive. And, if he fulfills his destiny, there will be a universe in which you can spend your earnings."

"Yeah, alright."

Meanwhile, the Red Lanterns were heading towards Oa. Hal immediately flew away from the group.

"Atrocitus! I knew we should have torn him to pieces!"

"Do not lecture me, Bleez!

"The human flees, Atrocitus," said Dex-Starr.

"He can run, but he cannot escape Starro."

And the little Starro found Hal and latched itself on Hal. He kept punching himself and finally blasted it off his face.

Oa

."Why does he hate you?" Soranik asked. "Who is he?"

"His name is Atrocitus. His world was destroyed. His family was killed. It's the usual story. He blames the Guardians, as he should. So much of the Galaxy's pain always comes back to them. Arrogant, self-appointed rulers, using their powers to impose their own sense of morality on the universe. Yes. I fit the description, I realize that. I'm not totally oblivious. The difference being, I'm right. Atrocitus and his Corps are fueled by rage. He and I clashed when I was green and again when I was yellow. He has experienced... casualties. And he has directed most of his anger toward me. Now that he knows of you, you will be targeted. He will want to hurt you to hurt me."

"Then he clearly doesn't know you well."

"Soranik, whatever you may think of me, know this. I would tear the universe apart to keep you safe."

"Soranik!" Called one of the Green Lantern members.

"What is it?"

"Scouts are reporting something approaching oaat high speed. The Guardians have requested a defensive perimeter around the planet."

Outside the planet

"Says?"

"Stand down. I will deal with him. Hal Jordan, that's far enough."

"No, please, listen..."

Says trapped him in a construct. Hal tried a red sword construct but it deflected and cut his middle finger off. Just then, hundreds of little Starros were heading towards Oa.
