"Take a deep breath. Focus on the calmness of the lake." Said Saint Walker as he, brother Warth and Razer, who was also a blue lantern, hovered over the lake. "Clear your mind of all emotion." Sighed Saint Walker. But when Razer was finally entering a deeper trance the earth shook and Saint Walker's pet worm appeared acting almost frantic. "What is it boy?" Asked Saint Walker. Then they heard a deep rumble as a ship entered the atmosphere.
"Jordan what the hex are we doing on Odem?" Asked Kilowog. The human Gl turned to his friend. "Because a few old friends are here who could help us out with our mission." Replied Hal Jordan turning around and continuing his walk toward the giant blue lantern battery. "Hal? Kilowog? Is that you?" The two lanterns turned around to see Razer and the other blue lanterns. "Ha ha ha! Razer! Good ta' see ya poozer." Laughed Kilowog as he gave Razer a bone crushing huge. "It's... Good to see you to... Kilowog. I would like to breath." Replied Razer begging to be released from the death hold huge. "Great to see you Razer. Have you found Aya?" Asked Hal shaking Razer's hand after caught his breath. "No. Not yet. But I will not give up hope." Replied Razer with hope filled eyes. "So what brings you here?" Asked Saint Walker. Hal and Kilowog gave each other a nervous glance, then Hal spoke. "We're here because the univers is in danger and we need some help." Razer and Saint Walker looked at one another. "What kind of problem?" Asked Razer.
"Blood lanterns and the dark council."
"What!" Yelled Razer nearly jumping out of his skin. "Yeah. And it doesn't end there. The guardians have also asked us to work with... Ok." Mumbled Hal. "Could please repeat that please?" Asked Razer crossing his arms. "Atrositus! Alright. We have to work with Atrositus." answered Hal. Razer stared at him with his arms crossed and a look of utter shock on his face. "Are you serious?" Asked Razer finaly snapping out of his shocked state. "He speaks the truth." They all turned around to see Atrositus and five of his top red lanterns standing beside him. "Hello Razer." Replied Atrositus with a smirk. "Are you two insane!" Yelled Razer at the top of his lungs. "Well we had no choice. Guardians orders." Replied Hal as calm as possible. Razer glared at Atrositus. He had no reason to listen to the idiotic idea that Atrositus was released from prison by the guardians. "Why should we join you if the red lanterns are on your team and they rings won't work if we're around." Stated Razer turning to Hal so he could point out the obvious. "Because 1: we need your help, and two their rings will work thanks to the small amount of orum they have." Replied Kilowog. Everyone was silent for a few seconds. "Sooo. Who's ready to go on an adventure?" Asked Hal. The blue lanterns looked at one another as if asking each other if it was a good idea. "Alright. Let the death defining adventure begin." Said Razer answering Hal's question. "Alright then let's go!" Yelled Hal in his usual optimistic tone. Then they all piled onto the ship and left Odem to pic up the rest of the crew.
But what none of them realized was that far away in the forgotten zone they were being watched through a crystal ball by a hooded figure. "It seems they have started the stone rolling." Then another hooded figure apered beside him. "Should I send word to the other clans sir?" Asked the other figure. "No. Let us wait and see where their adventure takes them. Besides they're heading right for our trap." Replied the first figure. The other bowed and left the room. "Let the pieces fall where they may. Their journey has just begon."
