The Story's Shadow: Most of the cops Spidey deals with tends to not like vigilantes so that can happen often. Thanks.
Duskrider: Thanks.
Man285: Thanks.
Ben 10: All of these questions will be answered within the story. Also In this story Razer is already a Blue Lantern.
California-Coast City
Coast City was as quiet and peaceful as ever, Unlike New York or any other city, this city rarely had any attacks upon it what so ever. All it had was a few bank robberies and a few other small crimes, except one occasion when two super powered individuals brawled out.
Within the city there was an pilot testing base, they were testing out the latest and advanced aircraft. One of the testers exceeded all of the other testers. His name was Hal Jordan, who was secretly the Green Lantern. He and other species from other worlds are an intergalactic police corps called the Green Lantern Corps who order to The Guardians Of The Universe. The Green Lantern Corps use will power as their main source of power. Their current location is the planet Oa.
Hal had just finished testing out another experimental aircraft that could be used in combat situations, because of the news they heard in New York. Jordan liked doing his old job again. As good fighting off alien spiders or taking down man hunting robots, it was nice for a simple change for once. He had been called in for to test another test ordered by his boss/girlfriend Carol Ferris.
Like Hal, she was also a Lantern, expect she is part of the Star Sapphire Corps of Zamaron whose power is based on love, she occasionally fights threats in space sometimes with Hal. But she mainly does her job at the Ferris air base.
Hal went inside and went to his boss's office. He knock on the door. "Come in" the other side of the door answered. Hal went in. He saw that Carol was doing paperwork, her star sapphire ring was hid inside a small container. "You wanted to see me Miss Ferris?" Hal asked with a grin on his face. Carol gave a small smirk "You know I did Hal, I need you to test out a new aircraft that could be very beneficial for any "alien" attacks and I need to go over the statistics of it with you"
Hal didn't understand why they choose him, he did have the most scores in the tests, even if he did get reckless and tend to crash or severely damage the aircraft's costing a lot to fix. "And you choose me personally because?..."
"Because seeing as your an expert in things about space, I think you would handle something like this. As long as you don't tell anyone about that" Carol said jokingly
"I don't see why we even need this, its cities like New York that get those alien attacks, I still fight threat like threat but the only thing alien around here is when we found those man hunter robots"
"They still like you to at least test it out, seeing as your on top of the list."
Hal was still unsure about the test, for him alien attack were just a normal day, then again he did have a green ring that could make anything he could think of. But that wasn't the only thing that was bothering him. Carol noticed this. "Are you alright Hal? you don't usually seem so down"
Hal knew he couldn't lie to her, so he just told her the truth. "Well...it's...it's been at least two years since the whole destroy all of creation we had when the Anti Monitor's body was possessing Aya"
"I'm sorry about what happened to her, I didn't know were well and I know that wasn't her when she was on Zamaron but I know that she was a good person" she said with her deepest sympathies. Hal smiled at her. "Thanks, but it's not just me. we haven't heard from Razer from a long while. Last we heard from him he said he thinks that Aya is still alive so he went away to find her if possible. I just hope the kid's alright"
"I'm sure he's doing fine"
"Still, maybe your right. flying an aircraft that I could crash will definitely make me feel better" They both left the office to get the aircraft. They entered the room, Carol was watching within the control and Hal had just entered the aircraft.
"This is Hal Jordan ready for take off" The hanger doors were then opened, the jet slowly exited the hanger, it increased speed when it was on the runway. The jet took off easily and so far it was having a smooth and steady flight. Course there were a few bumps due to using the fuel for faster flight patterns. As the jet was flying though the skies his lantern ring was blinking, Hal ignored it for now and continued the flight.
Carol was on intercom of the aircraft "Okay Hal, we need you to increase the speed and please don't crash this one" Hal gave a grin "Not sure If I can promise that" He then increased the speed of the jet.
Going faster than before and it was difficult to steer but he managed. he flew past a few mountains and nearly crashed at one point but he managed to keep the jet intact. He went though one final course and that if he succeeded the aircraft would be approved. All he need to do is reached past the aircrafts limits in speed. Hal increased the speed of the ship and for a while it was working until it started to slow down a bit. Hal then thought of an idea. He quickly put his ring on and created a hammer construct behind the jet and gave it a little nudge "I'm lucky their only have the vitals of the jet and not the visuals" Hal thought to himself. Hal managed to get passed the target expectations Hal was then ordered to go back to the base.
After a while the test was complete and most of all successful. Hal's fellow pilots congratulated and praised him for finishing it with flying colours. Carol congratulated Hal for his work "You did good Hal I'm impressed, though I do have to say that something was a bit odd"
Hal was confused but not entirely "What do you mean Carol?" Carol gave him a look " Well at one point the jet started to slow down and then suddenly it just jolted faster out of nowhere. You wouldn't have anything to do with that do you?" Carol said with half a smirk. Hal couldn't think of an excuse. Suddenly, his ring started to blink. "Sorry Carol I have to..." Carol interrupted him. "I know, I know well you still did a good job anyway so I'm goanna let you go just...this once and next time try not to use those Green Lantern powers okay?"
"I'll certainly try" he left the base. He went far enough to make sure that no one see's him as the Green Lantern. He looked around to make sure that no one could see him. When he was sure he then put his ring on and his uniform formed around him. "Okay ring what is it?"
"There Is A Distress Signal Outside In Sector 2412 and Lantern Tomar Re has sent a message"
"Hello...can anyone...I need Help I...In Sector 2412 and I urgently require assistance please come to my position immediately"
"Well if Tomar needs my help then he'll see what a Green Lantern from earth can do" Hal then flew from Earth and then went to space.
Sector 2412
Hal was then is the sector he looked around for a while "So ring where is Tomar now?"
"He Is Currently On The Planet Desara"
Hal is confused, he had never heard of this world before, but never the less Tomar needed his help he flew off fastly, his ring tracking Tomar's to pinpoint his location. It was taking a long while to get their even at the fastest speed he could. He eventually got there. he was at the location he needed to be. He took a look at the planet and what he saw was a planet devoid of any light or colour.
Hal then filed down to the surface of the world. Hal was shocked what he was seeing. "There must of been a war here. But why is Tomar here of all places?" Hal thought to himself "Ring, what exactly is Desara?"
"Desera Was The Base Ground Of War. Two Unknown Factions Of This World Were At War With Each Other For Decades Until It Had Suddenly Stopped. It Is Unknown What Stopped The War But This World Has Not Have Any Life Since The War And Has been Named A Dead World" Hal thought to himself why Tomar would be here in the first place. But he knew that Tomar can handle anything one his own, which made him wonder why anyone would attack anyone here
"Well whatever it is he can tell me when..." Suddenly, an explosion rang out in the sky he saw and it was miles away from where he was now. he followed the explosion. "Guess this world isn't dead as people thought" While he was flying there he managed to blaster fire between two forces
Hal managed to get over and see what was happening. Tomar was being ambushed by scavengers who were well armed. Tomar was just hiding behind a pillar barley able to get a shot in.
"JUST GIVE US YOUR RING LANTERN AND MAYBE WE'LL LET YOU LIVE!" The scavengers had fighter ships firing upon him. "I don't think It'll be any use to you, seeing as it requires something called intelligence and imagination. Something I'm sure that you people lack" Tomar replied humorously. This only angered the scavengers more and more, they started to increase their fire power, blasting off parts of Tomar's cover off. One of them pulled out a rocket launcher "SO LONG GREENIE!" he then fired the rocket at Tomar. Hal made a claw and launched it up in the air and fired at it, causing it to explode.
"Now that's not fair. all you guys against one Green Lantern isn't enough for you...but now that you tried to do that it's goanna be even unfair" Hal started blasting at the scavengers giving Tomar more time to get to another spot. The Scavengers increased their fire power, but this didn't worry Hal has he then made a shield construct. Hal managed to get beside Tomar.
"You alright Tomar?" Hal said while firing at the scavengers. "I am unharmed, though I can't say the same for our opportunist friends here"
"Why were you attacked here in the first place Tomar" Tomar gave him a look reminding Hal about calling him by his full name "Sorry, Tomar Rhe?"
"I was sent here on assignment by the guardians to check out a disturbance when these scavengers came along. There came here to find something useful. Until they saw me and wanted my ring"
"So the usual bad guys want to kill you for your ring and will kill you either way, right?"
"Right"
Hal then noticed something unusual beside Tomar. It looked like a body bag and someone was defiantly inside it "Did you have backup?" Tomar was confused at first but he noticed was Hal was gesturing. "No, he is part of the reason why I'm here now. But right now isn't the time to explain. Now we need to get these scavengers out of here"
"So how do you think we should approach this?"
"What don't you want to think of something seeing as you proclaimed about the two of us would stop them?" Tomar said in a joking manor.
"Yeah, but seeing as this is your assignment I'll let you have this one"
Tomar rolled his eyes at him. Tomar then took a look at one of their ships. After a long look and thinking about the design and layout of their ships he devised a plan "I have a formed a strategy. I'll take out the engines and sensor arrays while you can slice their turrets off. once their grounded we disarm them of their weapons and arrest them. We'll go when I give the word. Understand?"
"Sound simple enough. I like it, let's do It" Hal and Tomar Rhe were standing by ready for their plan of action. "On the count of three. One...two...THREE!" The duo both leaped out from their cover and flew at the ships. They dodged the blaster fire. Hal created a buzz saw construct and started to cut the turrets off while Tomar created two light swords and started to slash the engines of one the ships accurately and fiercely. He then proceed again with the others.
A group of scavengers started to fire at Tomar, But he created a light shield and sword and slashed their weapons and kicked them off the ships
The scavengers were angered by the Lanterns "BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS!" They then activated a button that engaged a cannon mounted on each ship and started to fire at them. One pointed at Hal and fired, Hal made a construct shield but it knocked him back a few buildings. "Tomar, be careful they got mounted cannons that can pack a punch"
"Caution noted, how do you think we should deactivate them without causing in our own destruction?" Hal manged to get up on his feet. But the cannon was still trying to kill him. He flew the sky sky madly to try and dodge the blasts coming towards him. "Come on, there has to be something...wait I think I have somethign" Hal then flew fastly towards the the end of one of the cannons.
Tomar saw where Hal was flying to "Hal Jordan what are you doing!?"
"Don't worry I saw this in a loony tunes episode once" Tomar was confused on what he just said, but continued to try and dodge the blasts. Hal was getting closer and closer, then he was in front of the gun and it was charging its blast. He then made a hand construct and stuck its finger inside the cannon. It blew up on itself and started to fall out of the sky, men started to jump off the ship and would off died if not for Hal catching them in the air and trapping them in a hard light prison construct.
Tomar Rhee saw what Hal did and proceed to block the cannon and wrap it inside a light bubble. Soon, one by one of the ships were being dismantled and destroyed. There was one final one that they both decide to take down together. Hal blocked the cannon entrances with a bubble construct, Tomar went on the ship and took down a few of them with a sword construct, soon after Hal joined him and stared to take out the majority of scavengers.
Inside the final ship was the head of them all, he was rushing and panicking around the ship trying to find a way to keep his ship stable."THAT'S IT THIS IS A LOST CAUSE. TECHIES GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!" The captain shouted loudly. "We can't. The engines are going offline."
"Well then activate the escape pods!"
"We don't have any sir!"
The captain screamed at the top of his lungs. He wanted to find a way out of this vessel without getting caught by those lanterns. He didn't care if there was something valuable on this planet or their rings he just wanted an out. "THAT'S IT. THIS IS POINTLESS. EVERY MAN FOR HIS..." The doors of the room blasted open and Hal and Tomar came flying though. "SO, you wanted our rings? Well, here they are" Hal said pointings his ring at them, as well as Tomar.
"Please don't hurt us! W...were just a bunch of simple scavengers!" The captain said while trying to save his own skin.
"A bunch of Scavengers who are armed with high tech weaponry and fighter ships?" Tomar asked. "Yeah, that doesn't sound simple when you say it out loud" Hal said with a wide smirk. The captain gave a shrug. "All of you are under arrest. You will all wait here for the authorities, understand?" Tomar said holding his ring up at them brightly. They all nodded.
A Few Hours Later
The scavengers were being hauled off planet by other Green Lanterns to be sent to a prison planet like the spider guild planet. Hal and Tomar were watching the scavengers being shipped off.
"Thank you for your assistance Hal, I probably wouldn't make it if you hadn't arrive like that" Tomar said with great gratitude. "No problem Tomar. We Green Lanterns, we look out of each other"
"You are right indeed, Lantern Hal" They watched the sky for a while. This may be a world destroyed by war but at least there was a quiet and peaceful moment. Until Hal was reminded on why Tomar was here in the first place. "But why are you here and what's with the body bag?"
"...I think you should see for yourself" They flew off to the cover they hid before. They landed to the location. Tomar pulled the body bag out from the cover with the utmost care. He opened the body bag. It was a deceased bird like alien. "Who is that? Is he a Green Lantern?" Hal asked curiously
"I don't think he was a Green Lantern. But I definitely think he was something" Tomar got up and started to explain his assignment."The Guardians sent me here because of a disturbance. A while back there was a battle between someone and their power meter was off the scale and it's power is something we've encountered a while ago"
"What power was it?"
"I believe it was the same power that Lantern Kilowog describe during the Red Lantern invasion. I believe this person was part of the Blue Lanterns"
Hal was surprised to hear this. And confused, seeing as the Blue Lanterns power could power up anything nearby. What could kill someone as powerful as them? Hal thought to himself."I didn't expect this. I mean we lose a Green Lantern once in a while but a Blue Lantern. Now that's rare"
"Indeed. I find them a very helpful corps and would believe that the both of our corps could work together. But I don't think the guardians would want that seeing that..."
"Seeing that they banished Ganthet for helping me and the fact that he's the founder of the Blue Lantern Corps" Tomar took another look at the body. " I need to report back to them and tell them the situation"
" Do you want me to come along" Hal asked "That would be most appreciated" Tomar created a light bubble around the deceased lantern and flew from the planet. They both left for the home world of the Green Lanterns. Oa
