In Blackest Night...
Part 2
Disclaimer: Because I felt like writing something outer space related.
Summary: Its another day on the job for Green Lantern Tommy Merlyn.
Man, am I ever thankful the Ring can protect me from harsh environments like Venus'. Thought Tommy to himself as he used a shield construct to blast laser fire from a Space Pirate.
One that's part of a crew who had been chased into the Sol System by another Lantern and had taken to hiding on Venus. Hoping it would somehow get them in the free and clear and it had worked, for awhile. And now the Pirate crew of ten were doing all they could to get rid of the three damned Lanterns who would surely put an end to their nefarious ways if they got the chance. Something none of them wanted to have happen, damnit! "Keep firing, mates! We'll get the blasted dogs yet!" Yelled the Captain of the crew.
Causing Tommy to shake his head with a sigh and getting a grunt of agreement from the Lantern who'd chased the crew there. This Lantern being purple skinned with four arms by the name of Atraxlan. "We need to finish this soon." Grunted the larger Lantern.
For due to the nature of the planet and the current situation, the power of their Rings would only last so long. "I could be the distraction?"
"Allowing me to handle them while they're focused on you, I approve."
"Then let's get to it!" Tommy said with a grin on his face and shot off into the air and making sure he had the attention of the Pirates.
This thankfully allowed Atraxlan to get the drop on the occupied Pirates much to their utter dismay! And once they and their ship were secure, the two Lanterns plus their prisoners made their leave from the planet and towards a detention facility in the system they had ran from. "I thank you for your assistance in this matter, Lantern Thomas."
"Happy to help, man!"
It may have just been another day on the job for Tommy, but it was also another day that meant the Universe was just a tiny bit safer thanks to their actions.
Author's Notes: Well, that was fun!
