Here is chapter two, this one introduces some new characters in to the stories, I had to find a way to take all the characters into the Star wars Universe, and this also helped me to determine what there motivations would be once they where there. I hope you like it.
P.S. I still don't own anything from the story. Just a fan.
Hal Jordan flew as fast as he could, when he heard that Atrocitus had escaped he had expected the red lantern to go looking for vengeance, but he hadn't expected him to take Carol.
The planet Atrocitus had chosen for them to meet was a deserted rock in the outer reaches of guardian space. He had asked Kilowog and Ghia'ta for help, but he was faster than both of them and had left them behind almost immediately.
When he reached the planet, there was no doubt where Atrocitus was hiding, the red glow from his power ring was visible from the planet's moon.
"Atrocitus!" Hal shouted as he approached him, "Let her go! it's me you want!"
"What I want is to see you suffer!" Atrocitus replied as he charged at the green lantern, his constructs where less stable than the green lantern's, but they were a lot stronger. "Soon you will die green lantern!" he said as Hal fell to the ground under his red beam, "But first you will beg me to make it sooner"
"I don't think so!" Kilowog said as he smashed Atrocitus between two hammers.
"Good to see you" Hal said as he stood, "where is Ghia'ta?"
"Looking for your girl, we just have to keep this poozer busy till she's safe"
"I see you are not alone" Atrocitus smiled, "Good, I feared this would end too quickly"
Ghia'ta raced close to the planet's surface, fearing the red lantern would discover her before she'd had a chance to rescue Carol. Above her, she could see both green lanterns going at it against Atrocitus. She came up to a huge rock where Carol was tied up; luckily she seemed to be breathing, which meant that the atmosphere in this planet was similar to the one from the human's home world. Beside Carol a red lantern power battery stood over a rock, no doubt Atrocitus's power source. She hurried to the human's side and begun undoing her bindings, "Do not worry Carol Ferris, we've come to rescue you, Hal will be happy you are safe"
"Thank you"
Hal and Kilowog did their best to distract Atrocitus, but the extra strain Hal had put on his ring to travel faster had depleted most of his energy, and he was soon to run out.
"It is time" Atrocitus smiled, confusing both green lanterns.
"Time for what?"
"Time for you to suffer" Atrocitus said as he pointed down to where Carol and Ghia'ta were standing on the planet's surface, "If you want them to live, you should hurry"
Hal quickly changed his course towards the planet, flying as fast as his ring would allow. Suddenly his energy begun to leave him as his suit disappeared and reappeared around him several times; desperate, he shouted at them, hoping that Ghia'ta would hear him in time. "Behind you!"
Ghia'ta was startled by the sound of Hal's voice, she had not expected him to be so near, she noticed the fear in his eyes but realization came too late. As she turned she was only able to see as a red beam that had been shot from the red lantern power battery hit Carol Ferris in the back, killing her almost instantly.
Hal crashed a few feet before her but he did not seem to notice his injuries as he ran up to them and took Carol's dead body onto his arms, "No, Carol!, please don't…please…NOOOOOO!"
Atrocitus landed calmly behind him, "You have suffered, now you die" he aimed his ring at Hal's head.
"NOOOO!" Hal turned and aimed his ring at Atrocitus, as he did he was engulfed by a red beam of energy coming from the red power battery and ending in Atrocitus. When the beam finally ended, Hal Jordan stood in a red uniform, the aura of a red lantern shinning around him; before him, where Atrocitus had once stood now lay a pile of ash.
"Hal?" Kilowog said as he landed next to Ghia'ta, "What are you…?"
"You were supposed to save her" Hal said as he turned to face them, "You were supposed to keep her safe!"
Kilowog was barely able to put up a shield as a blast of red energy engulfed him and Ghia'ta.
"Now you will pay!"
Quickly Kilowog grabbed Ghia'ta and flew up in to the sky, "What's wrong with him?" Ghia'ta asked.
"He's been blinded by rage" Kilowog replied.
Suddenly a red beam hit Ghia'ta and she fell back on to the planet's surface. "Ghia'ta!" Kilowog flew after her but Hal was now much closer to her than he was.
Just as a red beam was about to hit her, Ghia'ta opened a portal with her ring; as the red beam hit the portal it was rendered unstable, turning it into a wormhole that begun to pull all of them in. Hal was the first to go through since he had been flying straight for it when it had appeared, followed unintentionally by Ghia'ta, and finally Kilowog was pulled in by the massive force.
Samus ran through the temple, she hadn't seen any metroids in a while, which striked her as rather suspicious jumping up into the highest platform she found herself before a Chozo altar, slowly she walked up to it and activated it, wondering what kind of power up for her armor it would give her.
Instead the bird-like statue talked to her, "Walk in to the portal, and fulfill the prophecy"
"Prophecy?" She asked.
"The Chozo still live but our race is in great danger, it has been foretold that you daughter of Human and Chozo would be the savior"
"What do I have to do?" Samus asked, her parents had been human, but it had been the Chozo who had raised her, infusing her with their blood so she would better survive in their home planet, she truly was daughter of both human and Chozo.
"The Chozo have survived in a distant planet, but a great threat looms over them" The statue said, its eyes glowing bright blue with every word.
"I understand, where can I find this planet? Where can I find the Chozo?"
"You must walk through the portal" suddenly the whole temple started to shake as the statue slid to one side revealing a blue portal.
"So that will take me to the Chozo?" Samus asked as she approached the portal, placing one hand inside it to test the feel of it, it was cool; no doubt to keep the metroid out.
"No, this is just a stepping stone in your journey…"
Suddenly Samus felt the pull from the portal grow stronger and stronger.
"…to find the Chozo you must first escape the infected planet…"
"No, wait! I need to…" Samus was being pulled more and more into the portal.
"…and travel to the planet of two suns, there you will…"
The rest of the instructions fell mute as she was pulled into the traveling stream of the portal.
Hope you're liking it so far. Please comment and tell me what you think. Also comment if there's any space related work you would like me to include and I'll see if I can work it into the story.
