Okay, here we go with the next chapter. Those who've been wanting me to do it, this is where it happens. Hans finally becomes a Red Lantern. And why do I call this chapter "The Capture"? It'll all make sense when you've read it all. But I will tell you one thing, Hans will be causing even more trouble than before. Let's keep going.


In Chicago, at the prison, Tyler was back there, and he was angry. He kept trying to get his ring to work, but wouldn't accept the fact there wasn't a spark of red energy left in it.

"What was I thinking? Why didn't I bring a battery with me?! When I get out of here, I'm gonna make Eddie pay!"

He slammed his fists on the cell doors, then kept trying to get his ring to work.


On Ysmault, Atrocitus and Ragnar were watching Tyler again.

"That human man has failed. Do we strip him from the Red Lantern Corps?" Ragnar asked Atrocitus.

"No. We're going to send him his battery," Atrocitus replied.

"How? We can't go to that planet Earth."

"We don't have to. There is another human man there. One with rage as great as Tyler's."

"Who?"

"His name is Hans Westgard. He has much hate in his heart, willing to do anything to get revenge." Atrocitus then brought Hans up on a screen, where he was sitting in a cell, shackles on his wrists and ankles. "He will do perfect. Once he has his ring, I'll bring him here, and then we will set up a plan to get that blue man into my grasp."

Atrocitus made his ring glow and he brought another red ring from the central battery.

"Away to Earth you go," Atrocitus sent the ring out. "In the meantime, I think I will send out more rings for new recruits. My scanners are detecting many signs of rage. The more recruits the better."


Back on Earth, in the Southern Isles, Hans was sitting in the castle dungeons, shackled and angry.

Then someone came to the cell door. He had the same kind of red hair as Hans, because it was one of his twelve older brothers.

"What do you want?" Hans asked.

"I thought I'd have a friendly talk with my baby brother."

Hans glared up at him. "Don't...call me...baby brother! And don't try that 'friendly conversation stuff with me. Need I remind you for two years, you were one of the ones who literally pretended I was invisible. So don't try that with me!"

"Still angry because you're stuck down here? Well, you only have yourself to blame Hans? You were the one who did a bad thing, just because you were so desperate to rule a throne."

"I shouldn't be down here. I should be ruling Arendelle as king! I was this close to getting the throne!"

"You're the one that tried to kill the princess and the queen. You brought it on yourself! But look on the bright side: You only have one more year to spend down here."

Hans looked back up to his brother, and tried to charge at him, but the shackles held him back. "Get out of here! GO! Leave me alone!" His brother walked off and Hans tried to pull the shackles off, but his hands were too big to slip through. He went back over to the bench and furiously knocked the food tray away. "The throne of Arendelle should be mine! I will get Elsa and Anna and take the throne, if it's the last thing I ever do!"

He sat back down and then a crimson red light filled the entire cell.

"What now?!" Hans looked up and saw a small, red object slowly floating down. "What kind of ring does this?"

Then came Atrocitus' voice. "Hans Westgard of Earth, you have great rage in your heart. Accept the ring and vengeance shall be yours."

Hans held out his right hand and the ring slipped onto his middle finger. The red energy then filled Hans, and in a burst of red light it destroyed the shackles on him. When the light faded Hans wore a Red Lantern uniform. "This power. It's great. I've never felt so strong." Then the red light surrounded him again, and in a bright flash he disappeared.


Back on planet Ysmault, Atrocitus stood in his lair, then a red light flashed, and Hans fell to the floor.

"Welcome," Atrocitus said to Hans.

"What the-?" Hans looked up to Atrocitus and jumped at the sight of him. "Who are you? What are you?"

"I am Atrocitus. I have given you the power you desire for revenge, Hans Westgard."

"How did you know my name?"

"I have been watching. Your rage is great, and you seem well worthy to join the Red Lantern Corps."

"Red Lantern Corps. Is that what all this is about?"

"Yes. You are now a member, because you have accepted the ring. Do as I say, and you'll have your revenge."

"I like the sound of that. But first, tell me, where on Earth am I?"

"You're not on Earth anymore. Now you are on planet Ysmault. And as my newest member, I have your first assignment for you."

"What must I do?"

"Another human, much like yourself has also become a member before you. But he is in prison on Earth. I want you to break him out. Give him this," Atrocitus gave Hans a power battery. "Take your own as well," He gave Hans a second one. "Once he has recharged his ring, tell him to contact me."

"How do I find him?"

"Use your ring. It can show you the way. When he contacts me I'll give you both the next part of your assignment. Now go."

Hans nodded and flew back to Earth.


Once again, in Chicago, Hans had arrived in front of the prison.

He landed away from anyone's sight, and then changed back into his regular clothes. He walked towards the main doors, where two guards were standing guard.

"Hey, you!" one guard said to Hans, who still was walking towards them. "No one's allowed here without supervision. Check at the front desk or leave."

Hans ignored them and kept walking.

"Leave now, or you're in big trouble!" the guard called to him.

Hans still ignored them.

"All right, buddy. You're asking for it."

Both the guards then ran up and tried to tackle Hans, but he punched them away using a giant, red fist construct.

Hans made his way into the cell room and started to fight off all the guards that tried to stop him.

In his cell, Tyler was sitting on the bed, just looking at his drained ring.

Then all of a sudden, the cell doors were ripped off their hinges.

Tyler looked up an saw Hans just standing there. "And you are?"

Hans then changed into his Red Lantern uniform.

Tyler stood up amazed. "You're a red?"

"Yes. And I'm on an assignment from that red guy, Atrocitus. He sent me to bring you this," Hans held out Tyler's battery.

"Excellent," Tyler walked up and took his battery. "With blood and rage of crimson red. We fill men's souls with darkest dread. And twist your minds to pain and hate. We'll burn you all. That is your fate." The red energy surged through Tyler and then he was back in his Red Lantern uniform.

"Atrocitus also said to contact him once you recharged."

"Then I'll do just that. This is Tyler calling Atrocitus. Come in Atrocitus."

Atrocitus then appeared on Tyler's ring. "Tyler. It is good to see you again."

"Glad to be back, my Lord."

"Where is Hans? Is he there with you?"

Hans stepped into Atrocitus' sight.

"Excellent. Now we can move on with my plan. Here's what I want you both to do: Hans, I want you to locate and capture this Green Lantern." Atrocitus brought on a hologram of Elsa in her Green Lantern uniform.

"What? That's Elsa! She's a Green Lantern?!"

"Yes. I want you to capture her and then bring her to Ysmault."

"Consider it done, Lord Atrocitus."

"And Tyler, I want you to find your former friend, Eddie. Bring him to me, so I can finish him. Fight him. Injure him if you have to, but I want him alive."

"Yes, my Lord."

"Once you have him, bring him to me. Now proceed."

Tyler terminated the communication. "I have an idea how we can work this. I think Eddie may be with Elsa. If he is, then tell him to meet me at Big Ben."

"All right. But who's Eddie?"

"This guy." Tyler created a hologram of Eddie in his uniform.

"Okay. Then let's go."

"You go, dude. I'm gonna get outta these rags," Tyler changed back into his prison jumpsuit.

Hans blew up the wall and he flew out into the sky, while Tyler went to find his regular clothes.


Back in Arendelle, Eddie had gone back there once again. And he, Elsa, and Anna were in the dining room, talking over a pot of chocolate fondue.

"So I went to Oa earlier today. I went there to get some training in with Sinestro, but the Guardians told me he was sent on an assignment," Eddie explained to them.

"What assignment?" Elsa asked.

"Don't know," Eddie replied taking a strawberry and dipping it. "They told me that it was classified information. What is in this fondue? It's so delicious."

"An Arendelle recipe," Elsa replied. "Anna and I have had an irresistible love for chocolate since we were little."

"It's like no other I've ever tasted. It's amazing. I've noticed that with this place, compared to the rest of the world, you have no technology whatsoever."

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked.

"This place, things were like this everywhere hundreds of years ago. But this is the 21st century. Are you telling me that there is no technology here."

"What exactly do you have to this day, then?" Elsa asked.

"All sorts of things. TV, cars, airplanes, cell phones. To this day, people all over the world revolve around technology."

"I've never heard of any of this TV or cell phones, but I think I'd like to see some of it," said Elsa.

"I want to see it, too," Anna chimed in.

"Then here. I can show you so much," Eddie was about to create holograms of technological devices, but then his ring started to beep. "Oh, come on!"

Elsa's ring then started to beep like Eddie's.

Then the wall burst and it sent them all flying back.

When the smoke cleared, they all looked and saw Hans.

"Hans? What are you doing here?" Anna asked.

"On an assignment from my new leader."

"What leader?" Elsa asked.

They all got their answer when Hans changed into his Red Lantern suit.

All three of them gasped at it.

"Great. He's a red," said Eddie and he changed into his uniform.

"So you're that blue man that Atrocitus told me about. It's Eddie, right?" asked Hans.

Eddie constructed a combat knife then flew at Hans.

Hans shot a red lasso from his ring, grabbing Eddie by his arm where he had the knife Then Hans pulled him in and punched him far. He shot another lasso, which he used to take Eddie's ring, then grabbed him and pulled him back over with a hand construct. "Now listen here. This assignment I'm on from Atrocitus, says that you're supposed to fight him. But first thing's first, you're friend Tyler is waiting for you at a place called Big Ben. He wants you to go and meet him there. While Elsa and Anna are coming with me. Atrocitus wants to see them."

"You tell Atrocitus if he lays one hand on them-"

"You'll do what?" Hans cut Eddie off. "I suggest you follow these rules, and meet your friend, Tyler."

"How? He's in jail."

"Was in jail. Until I broke him out. And don't even think about following me. Otherwise I'll kill them both. Got that...dude?"

Hans then threw Eddie against the wall and tossed his ring to him, then looked back to Elsa and Anna.

Elsa pulled Anna behind her and raised her ring at Hans, but Hans shot two more lassos at them, tying them up and pulling them towards him. "We're all going on a little trip, but no carry on items. I'll just hold onto that for you," Hans took Elsa's ring, then flew out of the hole in the wall he made.

Eddie got back up grabbed his ring and looked to see Hans was nowhere in sight. He knew he only had one choice. He had to go and find Tyler. He put his ring on, changed into his uniform, then grabbed his battery and flew out.


Ok, sorry to leave this in such a cliffhanger. It'll be one more chapter before he tries to save Elsa and Anna. And like I said, those of you who wanted Hans to become a red, you finally got what ya wanted. But will Eddie succeed when the time comes for him to face Atrocitus, or will Atrocitus kill him, along with Elsa and Anna. Find out when the time comes. Please read, review, and enjoy.
