The Green Ring

Ch. 5

Disclaimer: I do not own any DC Characters mentioned in this story. I do not own the DC Universe. I do own my OC Jacob Smith.

It's been two weeks since my training begun and I've made some serious improvement. Only one problem, Sinestro has an authoritarian rule over me. Sometimes I think he's lost his mind, but it has helped me.

Another grueling training session just ended. It turns out Oa has actual places were you can stay and rest. It's like a hotel. I made my way to one of the rooms. I sat down in a chair and breathe heavily.

"Ring state remaining charge."

(42.7%)

Sinestro had gotten me a personal lantern battery. I put my ring in the center of it and it recharged.

I quietly sat there resting. After a few minutes of waiting I decided to go fly around Oa. It really is beautiful.

I flew around for a few minutes and came to a stop at the Central Power Battery. I landed in front of the Battery. As I just admired it's glory I could faintly hear something.

A voice, it became louder and louder repeatedly saying, "Release me. Release me. Release me!" I began to move to it uncontrollably.

The voices continued to become louder at every step I took. Then a guard stopped me.

"Halt. Take no step further," he said.

"Oh, um sorry," I said. I quickly flew off.

The guard flew up to the Guardians.

"Guardians, a human male was briefly taken over by Parallax," says the Guard.

"He's getting stronger."

"We need someone to defeat him."

"Sinestro. He's our best Green Lantern. If we send him in there he may defeat him or weaken him."

"Bring him in."

After a few minutes Sinestro came.

Sinestro says," Guardians, what do you want."

"Sinestro, what we are about to tell you is a closely guarded secret."

"A few millennia ago we had a discussion over which would be more effect. Fear or willpower."

"We chose will but one wanted to prove that Fear could be more effective. His intentions were good but he became consumed by the fear. A great battle raged and we locked him in the Central Power Battery."

"But over the years he has become stronger and if we don't weaken or destroy him now he may escape and destroy the Green Lantern Corps."

"We need you to defeat him. You must be careful though he will try to exploit your fears."

"Don't worry Guardians, I will not fail you."

Sinestro left for the Power Battery. There waiting for him were guards who were preparing to open it.

Sinestro prepared, coating himself in armor. As the battery opened you could see Parallax racing to escape.

Sinestro went in and was locked in with Parallax.(A/N: This Parallax looks like the one from the 2011 Green Lantern movie.)

Parallax raced toward Sinestro with all intentions to kill him. But a devious plot formed in his mind. If he could convince him to free him from this cage he could destroy the Guardians.

Sinestro raced toward him but found him self a little dizzy and sleepy. Sinestro stopped and fell down. Parallax began hatching his devious plot of controlling Sinestro.

The next day I began making my way toward the arena for another day of grueling training with Sinestro.

I entered and noticed he wasn't there. Sinestro is never late, I waited a few more minutes. He didn't come, at first I thought he left to patrol his sector or it was an emergency.

I flew to his room and guards and a few Alpha Lanterns were standing by it. I instantly knew to leave. I decided I could ask the Guardians. I headed toward the Guardians. As I landed one Guardian spoke, "You are forbidden here. No one comes without permission."

I suppressed a laugh. They were little blue people Like the smurfs how is that not hilarious. "Um, sorry to intrude but I was wondering were Sinestro had gone. We had a training today."

"That is none of your concern. I suggest you go patrol your sector fir now. Now Leave"

I giggled. I just couldn't help it.

"What is so funny, boy."

"Nothing."

I flew away just laughing at the tiny blue smurfs.

I came back to my room and grabbed my power battery. Finally, I get to patrol my sector. I wonder how large it is.

As I leave Oa's atmosphere, I tell my ring, "Set course for Earth."

(Compliance)

I zoomed off towards my home planet still laughing at how tiny blue smurfs are the leaders of the most powerful lanterns in the universe.

Sinestro woke up feeling somewhat better. There right next to him was Parallax. Sinestro got up and prepared a weapon.

Parallax said, "Sinestro calm down. I don't want to fight you."

Sinestro said, "I will destroy you beast."

Parallax said, "No you won't."

Parallax began feeding off of his fear before stopping. Sinestro fell.

Sinestro got up seeing there was no way to beat him. Parallax said, "Sinestro fear is more effective than will. There is an impurity in your ring. Will power can not defeat fear because of this impurity."

"That's what give us power over the Guardians."

"Us, their is no us."

"Oh Sinestro there will be. Join me imagine what we could do together. You could rule over the universe like a king. Power is what you want, well I can give it to you."

"What makes you think I want power."

"You do want power Sinestro. I went through your memories and saw how you got that ring. When you got the ring you killed the man that gave it to you when he asked it back. Because you want power. Sinestro join me."

Sinestro thoroughly thought before giving him his answer.
