Okay, viewers. Here's the next one. I call this friend or foe because it turns two friends against each other. Do you know what I mean? If not, well, you're about to find out.
A few days later, Eddie had left the apartment, wearing a red T-shirt designed with an eagle on it, navy blue jeans, his white and gray tennis shoes, and his white leather jacket. He'd gone out to see if he could find himself a job.
He walked through the streets of Chicago, minding his own business, and looked all around the stores and buildings, hoping to at least see a 'Help wanted' sign. He just wondered around, until he heard his ring go off.
He looked down to see it beeping. Eddie started to look around to see if there was somewhere he could do it without anyone seeing, and saw an alleyway. He quickly ran over into the alley and. "This is Blue Lantern #54: Eddie J Michaels. Come in." Eddie answered the call with his Blue Lantern name and number.
"Eddie? Oh, thank God," Elsa's voice came through the ring, and she sounded worried.
"Elsa, what's wrong?" Eddie talked through his ring.
"There's a little situation. I'm here in Chicago. Could you get down to the old warehouse as soon as possible?"
"Yeah. What's the situation?"
The communication was then terminated.
"Elsa? Elsa! Crap!" Eddie changed into his uniform and flew straight up, into the air.
As Eddie was flying down towards the warehouse, something kept going through his mind. "Why did Elsa sound like she was in trouble? And how does she know there's an old warehouse here? I know one thing: Something isn't right. And I've gotta get to the bottom of this!" Eddie thought to himself.
Eddie arrived at the warehouse, where the big doors, at the entrance were opened a crack. Eddie changed out of his uniform and walked into the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, it was completely empty. It was dark, dusty, and there wasn't a person in sight.
Eddie constructed a pistol, and shined a light, like a flashlight from his ring, and started to investigate the place.
Then all of the sudden, the entrance doors slammed behind Eddie.
Eddie turned around and saw a guy closing and locking the doors.
"Don't move!" Eddie aimed his gun at the guy.
The guy pulled out a gun of his own and aimed at Eddie.
"I wouldn't try anything if I were you."
Eddie looked to see someone else standing in the shadows.
"If you'll notice. I've got more armed guys."
Eddie then looked all around to see more guys stepping out of the shadows, and one of those guys had Elsa in a headlock, and had his gun pointed into her head.
"Let her go!" Eddie yelled. He shined his light upon the man, and gasped in disbelief, for it was none other than Tyler. "No, you. Why you?"
"I think I made it clear with what I said the other day. I'd give anything to have the power you do. The way you described having the power, you have no idea how good that sounded."
"So to get it, you kidnapped Elsa?"
"Actually we sent a fake distress call to her, which led her into our trap," said Tyler.
Eddie dissolved the pistol and he created a machine gun, and he aimed it right at his former friend. "I'm gonna tell you one last time: Let...her...go."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. You're in no position to be making demands. Try anything, and we'll pop her skull full of lead. And she's also powerless without this," Tyler pulled out Elsa's ring. "You said that to get a ring, you have to be chosen, so let's say we kill her, and her ring becomes mine."
"It doesn't work that easily," said Eddie.
"It's worth a try. Do it!" Tyler commanded.
As the guy holding Elsa was about to pull the trigger, Eddie stopped him. "No! No, please. Don't do this, Tyler."
"What other choice do I have? If I want to become this ring's new bearer, I must kill its old one."
"What if I were to make you a better deal?"
"I'm listening."
"Let Elsa go, give her to me..." Eddie took his ring off, and his suit disappeared as he did. "...and you can have mine."
"Eddie, jut go. Save yourself. I can figure a way out of this. Please. I don't want to see you get hurt," said Elsa.
"But I can't let you die. I don't wanna see you get hurt either. It's the only choice I have," Eddie turned back to Tyler. "So do we have a deal?"
"Hand it over," Tyler responded.
"Not until you let her go."
Tyler looked to the goon and nodded his head, which he did to tell the guard to let Elsa go. He let Elsa go, and she ran up to Eddie, who wrapped her in his arms.
"Now, your ring," said Tyler.
Eddie let go of Elsa, and he tossed his ring to Tyler.
Tyler caught it in his left hand, and he put the ring on the middle finger of his right hand. The power surged through Tyler and he was amazed at the ring's amazing power.
"Yes. It's so much better than I thought it would be."
Tyler aimed the ring at one of his goons, and blasted him away with a powerful blast. Tyler started to laugh evilly at the power the ring had given him.
"Come on. He got what he wanted. Let's get outta here," Eddie said to Elsa, and they both started to leave.
"Hold it!" Tyler stopped them. "I said I'd hand Elsa over to you. But I never said anything about letting either of you live."
"You've gone mad with power, dude," said Eddie.
"Maybe so. But to me all that matters, is that it's powerful."
Tyler pointed the ring at Elsa and Eddie, and charged up.
Elsa and Eddie took hold of each other, and Tyler fired the blast.
Elsa buried her face in Eddie's chest, and Eddie closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. But after a few seconds, nothing happened.
Eddie opened his eyes and saw the blast stopped, inches from his face.
"What?!" yelled Tyler. "Go! Blast him! I said blast him!" Tyler tried to fire another blast, but the ring did nothing.
"It seems my ring doesn't wanna answer to you. Its allegiance is still to me. Too bad. Redirect fire."
It took Eddie's command, and the blast went right back it Tyler, sending him flying back, and falling unconscious.
All the goons then aimed their guns at them.
"How do we get out of this one?" Eddie asked.
"Leave that to me," Elsa replied.
Elsa then created a massive blizzard, which sent snow into the goons faces, blinding them.
"Go! Our rings!" Elsa turned to Eddie.
Eddie then ran up towards Tyler, and kneeled down at his body, he took Elsa's ring from the pocket of Tyler's brown, leather jacket, and got his off of Tyler's finger.
Eddie looked to see the goons recovering, and he tossed Elsa her ring.
Elsa caught it and put it on. Eddie also put his on, then in unison, they changed into their uniforms.
"Hold it right there!" one goon yelled, as they all aimed their guns at them.
"No. You hold it," said Eddie, and he created two giant combat shotguns. "Now, drop your weapons. All of you!" Eddie aimed his guns all around. The goons did as they were told, and dropped their weapons.
Eddie then pulled out his cellphone, called the police, and he reported kidnapping, and attempted murder.
The police arrived, and started to arrest all the goons and Tyler.
Tyler had been slammed onto the hood of a police car, by the police officer. "You have the right to remain silent. And anything you say can and will be used against you."
Tyler looked to see Elsa and Eddie. "I'm gonna get you for this. I will have the power I desire, and when I do, you're gonna pay. Both of you!"
The police officer put Tyler in the car, and Elsa and Eddie left when it happened.
They waited until all the police left, and when they did, the two flew onto the roof of the warehouse.
"I'm sorry about Tyler, Eddie. It must be hard to have just lost your best friend," Elsa said to Eddie.
"I can't believe he'd do something like this. He tried to kill us, just to get my ring. I've known him my whole life. We've been through so much together. Who does this? Who turns on their best friend for power?"
"Well, you're not the only one who's gone through something like this."
"What do you mean? You've gone through this?"
"Actually my sister did. She met this man, who she thought was perfect for her, but he was faking it. He only pretended to love her, because he wanted to kill us and take our kingdom. If you want to here how it all happened, you can come to Arendelle, and Anna and I will explain it all to you. But like I said, I'm so sorry for this."
"It's no one's fault, but Tyler's. I think I will accept your offer one of these days. But right now, I'm gonna head home. I need time to get over this loss."
Elsa walked up to Eddie and wrapped him in her arms.
They stayed like that for a minute, and then Elsa let Eddie go.
"Ok. I'll see you later," Eddie said, changing into his uniform.
"Bye," Elsa replied, changing as well, and flying off.
Ok, that's all for now. Can anyone guess what happens in the next chapter? If not, well, you'll have to find out when I post it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Now you know why I called this one friend or foe. Please read, review, and enjoy.
