All right fans. This is where it brings in that giant ship the Red Lantern's built, along with maybe a few million of those Manhunter robots, and a couple hundred more ships. Yeah I'd say that Atrocitus will go that far just to destroy Oa. And like I said in the last chapter, I'd imagine this like it were Return of the Jedi. And Speaking of which I'm excited for the Force Awakens to come out. Ok, on with the story.
After about a half hour of being in ultra-warp, the Interceptor had come out, and then Oa was in sight.
"Looks like we're a lot more close to home," said Eddie.
"I like that," said Elsa. "Soon I'll be back home with my sister."
After about a couple minutes, Sinestro flew the ship past a bunch of buildings, then onto a landing platform, where the Guardians were waiting.
After they all got off the ship, Appa and Sayd approached them.
"You called, wanting us to return?" asked Sinestro.
"Yes. We sent multiple Green Lantern's out, to find the progress of the Red Lantern's," Appa replied. "One reported that the Red Lantern Corps has dispatched a massive Manhunter army, along with that super sized ship, and along with that, they also have a few hundred more ships. Which are headed for Oa. That is why I've called you back here. We needed all Green Lantern's here in order to defend the planet." Appa then looked to see Aya and Razer coming from behind. "What is that doing here? This Aya creation was destroyed almost three months ago."
"No. Aya has been alive since then," said Razer.
"It does not matter. This creation is to be dismantled, immediately."
"No one is taking her from me again. I lost her too many times before, but I'm not going to let it happen again."
"Relax, Appa," Sayd said to him. "I don't think there is anything to worry about with Aya. She seems to be herself again."
"Correction. I realize that I had made a mistake in switching off my emotions, but I assure toy, it will never happen again," said Aya.
"Very well," said Appa. "Come. We must prepare the Corps before the Red Lantern's arrive."
"Why just protect Oa? Why not just dispatch the Corps, and take the fight to the Red Lantern's? Do you not know what else the Red Lantern's might destroy?" Eddie asked.
"I am well aware of that, young man," Appa looked to Eddie. "Unfortunately I cannot risk the entire Corps in just one battle."
"Wouldn't that just be the same as if they came to Oa? Whatever happened to the Green Lantern code?"
"I am not at liberty to discuss it. Especially not with one of you Blue Lantern's."
Appa then turned and started to leave.
"That does it!" Eddie said to himself. He then raised his ring, and grabbed Appa with a hand construct, and pulled him back over there. "Now you listen to me, you negative old, blue geezer! I've had it with you and your negative attitude! There are thousands of other lives at stake out there, and without the Green Lantern's they're in trouble. And you won't even help them, because you're too stubborn to dispatch the entire Corps!"
"Eddie, put him down," said Sinestro.
"Appa, he's right," said Sayd. "There are countless, innocent lives in danger out there. We must protect them. We have to send the Green Lantern Corps out there, and fight."
"I say do it, Appster."
Appa looked up and saw Guy Gardner flying down.
"How are you, Guy?" Appa asked.
"The kid's right. When I accepted this ring, I accepted all the duties of being a GL. We have to go out there and fight."
Appa then nodded. "Very well. Gather all Corps members. We need to explain this to them all."
Then all but Elsa and Eddie flew away.
"I think you've convinced them," Elsa said to Eddie.
"I saw the whole thing."
They looked to see Hal flying down to them.
"You stood up to Appa, I like the way you think. Come on, we need to hear what the Guardians have to say."
So all three of them flew off and then Appa started to give a speech. "Green Lantern's, I have come to a change in my decision. I have been convinced that we must do what needs to be done, in order to protect the universe. So I have decided rather than stay and protect Oa, I am sending you out to fight off the Red Lantern's fleet. But be warned there are thousands of Manhunters, and they also have a fleet of ships. But one ship is bigger than all of the others, so I advise you to take extra precaution. The biggest ship is your target. Destroy it, and you will have the better advantage. Good luck to you all."
So after that, the entire Corps started to fly out into space.
Hal and Kilowog were heading out, when Hal realized they were still short one.
"Before I go out into that battle, I think there's someone I need to pay a visit to," said Hal.
"Iolande?" Kilowog asked.
"You know it," Hal replied.
"You go, Jordan. I need to make a call."
So Hal flew off and he went into the warp jump."
Back with Elsa and Eddie, they'd caught up with Sinestro.
"Are you two ready for this?" Sinestro asked.
"I want you to watch over Elsa, and make sure she doesn't come to any harm," said Eddie.
"What about you?" Sinestro asked Eddie.
Razer and Aya then came up to them.
"Are you ready?" Razer asked.
"I'm going with them. Razer, Aya, and I are gonna take the Interceptor into the battle," said Eddie.
"Are you sure about this?" Elsa asked.
"Just stay close to Sinestro, and you'll be fine," Eddie replied.
"Good luck out there," Sinestro said to Eddie.
So Eddie flew off with Razer and Aya, and they went to the platform, and boarded the Interceptor.
As the entire Corps flew off and disappeared into space, both Appa and Sayd stood watching.
"Excuse me, Appa. There is something I must attend to," said Sayd, and she teleported away.
Once the Corps was past Oa, they all started to go into their warp jumps, and vanished as fast as light. Razer, Aya, and Eddie, in the Interceptor followed the Corps, and Razer, who was flying, activated the ultra-warp.
Deep in frontier space, the millions of Manhunters, the fleet of ships, and the supersized ship, that Atrocitus and the Red Lantern's were on, were moving through space.
"Permission to activate our ultra-warp, Lord Atrocitus?" asked Ragnar.
"Standby. Activate on my command," said Atrocitus.
"Yes, sir." Ragnar replied.
"Soon, I shall have my ultimate revenge on the Green Lantern's, and once I'm finished, Oa and the entire Corps shall be no more."
"My Lord, what's all that green light in the distance?" Ragnar asked.
"What? Green light?" Atrocitus got up from his throne, walked up to the controls, and he looked to see a bunch of green light, which was coming closer. "The Green Lantern's. So they chose to come and fight. Well if it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll get." Atrocitus then gave a new order through the Manhunters' CPU. "Manhunters, destroy them!"
The Manhunters then pulled out their cannons and started to fire, along with the ships.
As the Green Lantern's came nearer, they stopped moving and returned fire.
Guy Gardner was leading a group, with Larvox and Chaselon by his side. "We're gonna need some heavy weaponry. All right, GL's, we'll need bigger guns. Let's make them!"
So the groups made 5 giant cannons, and they started to fire and blow the Manhunters to smithereens.
"Come on! A little more and we'll be able to move forward. Our target is the biggest ship!" Guy yelled out. He then got an idea. "Move all fire onto the nearest ship!"
The cannons then turned to the ship was closest, and fired at it. After multiple shots, it gone blown to pieces, taking out at least a hundred Manhunters in its big explosion.
"
All right! Let's move forward!" Guy called out, and he, Larvox, Chaselon, and a bunch of others followed, while the rest stayed behind, and continued to fire the cannons.
The Green Lantern's that followed Guy went in, and attacked the Manhunters and ships, trying to get to the big one.
As Guy, Larvox, and Chaselon were sticking together and smashing up Manhunters, Kilowog came in, and he busted a few up with a hammer.
"Kilowog, there you are buddy," Guy greeted. "Where've you been."
"Went to get backup. And it's right on time," Kilwog replied, as the Blue Lantern's came in to help.
"I like the way you think," Guy said to Kilowog.
While neither Guy or Kilowog were looking a Manhunter from behind them attempted to blast them, until it got hit with a green blast.
Both Kilowog and Guy looked to see Hal flying in, and with him was Iolande.
"Took you long enough," said Kilowog.
"These things take time," Hal responded. "Thanks for helping us out on this, Iolande."
"Of course. Anything to help a fellow Corps member," she replied.
As they all went back into battle, the Interceptor came out of the ultra-warp, and went straight into the battle.
Razer was steering the ship, while Eddie and Aya were working on the controls.
Razer used the blasts from the sphere engine to blow the Manhunters to pieces.
While going right above one of the ships, Razer used a blast to hit it, and flew above, until the ship blew up.
After destroying a bunch of Manhunters, Guy looked to see they had some open space to hit the big one. "All right. Now aim all the cannons at the big one, and fire at will!"
So, then, they aimed the cannons and fired at the supersize ship.
The bullets from the guns went straight passed all the other ship, and blew up any Manhunters in the way. But when they got to the ship, they hid a big, red sphere, surrounding the ship.
"It's shielded," said Hal. "I'd better tell Razer. Razer come in."
On the Interceptor, Hal's call came in and Razer turned on the communication. "What is it, Hal?"
"If you're going for the ship, hold back. The thing's shielded. None of our attacks will penetrate it."
Razer looked up to see everyone firing at the ship, but nothing was getting through the shield.
"I have scanned the shield of the ship," said Aya. "The shield appears to be made entirely of red energy."
"Then they must have had a strong source of it," said Hal. "Because it must have been made strong enough to withstand all green energy attacks."
"We'll think of something. Just keep fighting the Manhunters," said Razer.
"Got it," Hal responded. Then the communication was terminated.
Eddie then thought of something. "I might have something that could work."
"Tell me, quick!" said Razer. "There are wide numbers of Manhunters coming for us."
"Hal said that none of their green energy attacks could penetrate the shield. But if we used blue energy?"
"What are you thinking of?" Razer asked.
"What if I were to take all the power from my battery and charge my ring with it. Would that be enough power to get through the shield?"
"I can tell you two possibilities with your suggestion," said Aya. "The first: Your plan could work, and you would have enough power to make a hole in the shield."
"I could probably make a hole big enough for you to fly the ship in, and we blow the ship up."
"But there is also a second and a worse possibility," Aya interrupted. "All the power from overcharging your ring could overload, and cause you to explode."
"It's a risk I'll have to take." Eddie then pulled out his battery, and he inserted his ring. "In fearful day, in raging night. With strong hearts full, our souls ignite. When all seems lost in the war of light, look to the stars. For hope burns bright."
All the power from his battery then went into his ring, making him brightly glow electric blue. "Time to take real action."
"Before you go to the ship, we need to take out these Manhunters on our tail," said Razer.
"Can do. Open the lower ramp," Eddie said, as he went to head out of the ship.
When he got down there, the lower ramp opened, he flew out, and he flew over to the Manhunters.
The Manhunters prepared to fire, until Eddie shot a bright blast from his ring, which blew them all up.
Eddie then started to fly towards the big ship, blasting the Manhunters, and the smaller ships, and Razer and Aya, inside the ship followed close by.
"Just keep it up," Razer said through his ring. "You're almost there."
So Eddie continued to fly, until he reached the giant one.
"All right, Eddie, use your ring, and create a hole in the shield," said Razer through the communication.
Then Eddie charged up his ring, and blasted the shield, and when he did, a hole started to create, on the giant, sphere shield.
As the Interceptor came closer, the hole got bigger.
"Just a little more," said Razer.
"I'm doing this as fast as I can!" Eddie responded.
The hole continued to grow even more, and when the Interceptor came to it, it was more than big enough to fly through.
Razer flew the ship through, Eddie stopped blasting the shield, and he went through as the shield closed back up.
"Eddie, are you all right?" Razer asked.
"I'm fine. But that took a lot of my power. This supercharge is almost gone," Eddie answered.
"Get back here, now," Razer ordered.
"Don't have to tell me twice."
So then Eddie flew back towards the ship.
From inside, Ragnar had seen the shield was penetrated, and the ship came in. "Lord Atrocitus, the shield has been penetrated."
"What?"
"And a ship came in, sir," Ragnar finished.
Atrocitus then went and looked to see the Interceptor.
"The Interceptor. We must not let them destroy our ship. Send all available Manhunters, and fire all guns," Atrocitus ordered.
"Yes, sir," said all the other Red Lantern's.
Back on the outside, Eddie was still following, trying to get to the ship, when all the guns started to fire red blasts at them.
Only seconds after the guns started to fire, Manhunters came out, and started to fire at the ship as well.
Eddie then flew over, and with a powerful blast from his ring, he destroyed all Manhunters around the ship.
After he did that, the bright glow on him faded.
"All right, Razer, now I'm out of the supercharge."
"Hurry and get back in here."
"Open the ramp."
Eddie flew under the ship as the ramp opened, and he went in, and back into the control room.
"Why are they firing?" Eddie asked.
"Atrocitus knows we're onto him. We must find a way to blow this ship up. Aya, find the ships main power source. If we find that we can destroy it, and destroy this thing."
"I am on it," Aya replied as she started to scan the ship.
Back on the outside of the ship, things started to go wrong for the Corps.
The Manhunters, and the Red Lantern ships had started to move even closer, and the Green Lantern's up fighting there were forced to move back.
After they'd moved back, the ships and the Manhunters blasted, and destroyed the cannons.
When the cannons were destroyed, the Manhunters surrounded the Green and Blue Lantern's, and they were forced to cease fire.
Elsa was still with Sinestro, as the Manhunters surrounded them, and they were back to back.
Guy had Larvox and Chaselon still with him, and they were circled by dozens of Manhunters, while Hal, Kilowog, Iolande, and Saint Walker were in the same position.
"Moonface, can't you guys use your blue energy to supercharge us?" Kilowog asked.
"There are not enough of us to power the entire Corps. Without everyone having the stronger power, we would still not stand a chance."
"What do we do know?" Elsa asked Sinestro.
"All we can do right now, is hope Eddie, Razer, and Aya can blow that thing," Sinestro answered.
Back inside the ship, the guns were still firing at the Interceptor, and one powerful blast had hit the sphere.
"We're hit!" Eddie yelled.
"And we are losing power from the engine battery," said Aya.
The ship started to go down.
"Hold on!" Razer yelled as he steered the ship, until it crash landed into a hangar.
The ship slid across the floor, and went all the way to the end of the hangar.
It was about to tip and flip over to the left, but then it went back down and sat still, all out of power.
On the inside, the force field window deactivated, and Razer and Eddie were pushing a bunch of buttons and controls, to try and get the ship started up.
"All systems are overheated and offline," said Eddie.
"And we're completely drained of power. Even the AI is offline," said Razer.
"What now?" Eddie asked.
"Don't worry," said Aya. "The ship's engine battery is self recharging. The power is only temporarily drained."
"How long will it take?" Eddie asked.
"Approximately two hours," Aya answered.
"Great," said Eddie. "So, we've got no power, we're stuck in this ship until that battery charges back up, and the Red Lantern's ceased everyone outside. Could this get any worse?"
And then it did. Dozens of Manhunters had come and surrounded the ship.
"When will I learn to just keep my mouth shut?" Eddie then slumped back into his seat.
Up in the control room, one of the Manhunters had came in and informed Atrocitus.
"Lord Atrocitus, we have ceased the entire Green Lantern Corps."
"Excellent. And what of the intruder ship?"
"They have crash landed in the main hangar. Where a group of Manhunters have ceased them in their ship."
"Very good. Make sure they don't go anywhere. Get the ships moving, and prepare our ultra-warp. We make for Oa, now."
"Yes, sir." the other Red Lantern's took his command.
The ships then started to move again, and passed the Green and Blue Lantern's, who were still in formation.
On the outside, with the entire Corps still ceased they were all trying to think of what to do.
"With all these Blue Lantern's, I'm starting to hallucinate, because I think I see blue light in the distance," said Hal.
"I don't think you're hallucinating, Jordan. I see it, too," said Kilowog.
As the blue light grew brighter, all the Lantern's looked and saw it. In seconds, the blue light flooded the starry sky's of space. After it did that, all the Green Lantern's began to brightly glow electric green.
Then, from the distance, Ganthet, who was releasing the blue energy, came into view, and next to him was Sayd.
Then the fight started again, only this time, the Green and Blue Lantern's had been winning, for the Manhunters and ships were all being blown up, left and right.
In another flash of blue light, Mogo had came out, and the giant ring around him had started to glow brighter. He started to shoot out powerful blasts from the circle on the Green Lantern symbol, which started to destroy the ships and Manhunters even quicker.
The Blue energy had spread, and it had deactivated the shield surrounding the big ship.
"Lord Atrocitus, our shield has been deactivated," said Ragnar to Atrocitus.
"It must be this blue power. Fire all guns at the Green Lantern's!"
So the ship started to fire hundreds of red blasts.
Back inside the hangar, with Razer, Aya, and Eddie still surrounded, the blue energy, had made the engine battery fully recharge, then supercharged it.
In the control room of the Interceptor, all the controls and lights, lit up, but lit up all green. Even the force field window had turned back on green.
"The power's back," said Eddie.
"And it is functioning at higher levels," said Aya. Then she started to glow electric green.
"The blue energy. It must be Ganthet," said Razer.
"Now we have a more powerful ship," said Eddie. "Let's take out these Manhunters."
"Taste the power of supercharged green energy," Razer said, firing big blasts from the ship.
The blasts were bigger than ever, and they'd destroyed more Manhunters.
"I have located the ship's main power source. It is there," said Aya, as she looked to a big black sphere, with red lights on it.
"All right, Razer, let's blow this joint," said Eddie.
Razer fired another blast, and it hit and destroyed the sphere.
"Hold on. We're getting out of here," Razer said, flying the ship out, as a big explosion followed.
"Whoo-hoo!" Eddie yelled. "This is Return of the Jedi all over again!"
In the control room, everything started to malfunction.
"Lord Atrocitus, our main power source has been destroyed," said Ragnar.
"Impossible!" Atrocitus got up from his seat, and he went over to see the ship blowing up. "Abandon ship!" Then he blew open the windows, and the Red Lantern's all flew out to get away.
In the battle, Hal had put his attention towards the ship. "Look. It's blowing up on the inside."
The Interceptor then flew out of the hangar.
"The Interceptor!" Kilwog laughed. "They did it."
Hal then constructed a giant bullhorn. "Everyone clear out. The ship's gonna explode, and it's gonna be big!"
Then everyone started to fly away, and moved far from the fleet.
Once everyone was a great distance away, the ship blew up.
The explosion was so big, that it destroyed the remaining ships and Manhunters.
After that, everyone cheered in victory.
Back on Oa, Appa was giving another speech.
"Well done, Green Lantern's. Very well done. If it were not for Guy Gardner over here, I'd never have been convinced," Appa smiled and looked to Guy.
"I appreciate this, Appster. But I'm not the one who deserves the credit for this. Come up here, buddy." Guy gestured for Eddie to come over, and he did. "This is the man who deserves the credit for convincing Appa. It was his suggestion, and thanks to him, we did it. So, come on Green Lantern's, let's give him a proper Green Lantern praise."
Guy then shot a green beam out of his ring, and then the rest of the Corps did the same.
Appa continued. "I have another announcement to make. I received word that Ganthet had come and helped you, by giving you more power. And Sayd has brought him here."
Then both Sayd and Ganthet came next to Appa.
"I now realize that the power of hope is of very good use. And I now see that I was wrong to banish Ganthet. So, I now give him my generous offer, to become a Guardian of Oa once again."
Ganthet then stepped up. "I appreciate your offer, Appa. and I would love nothing more, than to retake my place as a Guardian. But I must respectfully decline. I have another place to serve the universe, and that is to be the Guardian of the Blue Lantern Corps. So I appreciate your offer, but I can't accept. But thank you, Appa Ali Aspa."
Ganthet then stepped down and Appa continued. "We may have defeated the Red Lantern's flight, and an army of Manhunters, but our duty continues. So we must continue to protect the universe. You all know you places. Who are we?"
"We are the Corps!" the entire Corps called out.
"You are all dismissed."
So the Corps all left and spread out.
Eddie had been flying around, looking for both Elsa and Sinestro.
"Hey, you." came a voice from behind him.
Eddie looked to see Elsa behind him, her face like his, was covered in soot.
"I've been looking for you," said Eddie.
"That makes two of us," Elsa replied.
"Where you heading?"
"Home. I've got a sister waiting for me. What about you?"
"I was about to head home, too. I'm tired. And I need to clean myself up."
"So what are we waiting for?"
"There you two are."
They both turned to see Sinestro coming down towards them.
"I came to tell you both, that you have made excellent progress in this journey. You're both very much like my old mentor, Abin-Sur. In that battle, you were both outstanding, and brave, and that's just what I'm looking for in Lantern's. I would go into a battle, with you two by my side any day."
"Thanks, Thaal," said Eddie.
"I heard the entire Corps is heading to the nearest planet to celebrate. Do you want the coordinates?" Sinestro asked.
"Thanks, Sinestro, but Eddie and I were about to head home," said Elsa. "I have a sister waiting for me to come home."
"And I need a shower. I'm covered in soot and dried sweat," said Eddie.
"Very well. Anytime you're ready to return, we'll continue our training."
Sinestro then flew off, while Elsa and Eddie flew out of Oa, then through the Milky Way, and finally they were in front of earth.
"There it is," said Elsa.
"Home," Eddie continued.
"You should come to Arendelle sometime. I'm sure my sister would love to meet you."
"I'd like that. But for now, we both have a home to return to."
"Before you go, give me a hug."
Elsa and Eddie then pulled each other in, and hugged the other tightly.
"See you around," said Eddie, and they both flew in different directions towards earth.
Back in Chicago, Eddie had returned to his apartment, and he'd spent over 10 minutes in the shower.
After he got out, was sitting on the couch, wearing a gray t-shirt, black sweat pants, and black socks, and he was sitting in his chair, watching Return of the Jedi.
"Why didn't you tell me. You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father."
"Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker."
Eddie then looked to his white leather jacket on the coat rack.
He got up, went over, and from one of the pockets, he pulled the blue ring out.
He then went and sat back down, and he just stared at the ring for a few minutes, then he looked back towards the TV.
"Leia. Leia's my sister."
In Arendelle, Anna was in her sister's room, looking out the window and into the skies, just wondering when Elsa would come home.
Anna sighed and walked away, towards the door.
"Hello, Anna."
Anna stopped at that voice, then turned around to see her sister, in her Green Lantern uniform, her face covered in soot, and she smiled at Anna.
"Elsa!" Anna ran up and Elsa pulled her in for a tight hug. "I missed you."
"And I missed you."
The two sisters stopped hugging, and Elsa changed from her Green Lantern suit, back into her icy dress.
"So how was that journey of yours?" Anna asked.
"It was pretty exciting. But all throughout it, all I ever thought about was you," Elsa replied.
"Would you tell me about it?"
"I'd love to. But first I need to get cleaned up. Because as you can see I'm a mess," Elsa giggled as she left the room.
Ok, that's it for this great chapter. This one is my longest one yet. I don't know if I'll be able to write anything longer than this, but you never know. There's a lot more to come. I hope you enjoyed that first part of the story. That journey the trio took, and them taking on an entire fleet of Red Lantern ships and Manhunters. But it only gets better from here. Please read, review, and enjoy.
