Okay, here we go again. Here's where Eddie has another issue with Tyler, while showing Elsa Paris. Which is why I call this one "Battle through the Lights." Tyler will attack and try to kill Elsa and Eddie, because of Atrocitus still furious about Eddie escaping his grasp. But what else will happen here? Let's move on and we'll find out.


On the Red Lantern planet Ysmault, two weeks passed since Eddie had escaped Atrocitus' grasp and foiled his plans.

Atrocitus was in his lair, and was furious about Eddie escaping his grasp, and with him were his two human Red Lanterns Tyler and Hans. Atrocitus paced angrily back and forth, frustrated and furious.

He walked up to the control panel that was in his lair, and slammed his fists down on it. "I had that blue man in my grasp and he still escaped me! I had the perfect plan and it all failed. All because of those Green Lanterns! I will destroy them all!"

Tyler and Hans both stood behind Atrocitus, trying their best to stay out of his way, to prevent making him any angrier.

"So what are we gonna do?" Hans asked quietly to Tyler. "He's getting angrier by the minute."

Tyler focused at Atrocitus, who paid no attention to his human Red Lanterns, and then he walked over to the balcony.

"Where are you going?" Hans asked following him.

"There's only one thing I can do. I know what I have to do," Tyler replied without looking back and then he flew out into space. "Never send an alien warlord to do a human man's job." He flew out of the planet's atmosphere and into space. There he opened a red portal and flew through it. He knew that he had to kill Eddie himself if he ever wanted to be rid of him.


Back on Earth, in the kingdom of Arendelle Norway, it was starting to get dark. The sun was setting over the horizon, and one by one, stars started to appear in the dark, black and blue skies.

Through the air, Eddie flew high above the kingdom's town, wearing his Blue Lantern uniform, and he was headed towards the castle to see Elsa, because he hadn't seen her since the incident with Atrocitus.

He went towards the castle and landed on a balcony, where there was a big glass door on there. Then in a flash of blue light, Eddie changed out of his uniform and back to his original clothes. He wore a white shirt with a big, red stripe in the middle, blue jeans, his white and gray tennis shoes, and his white leather jacket.

He peeked into the glass doors and inside he saw the library of the castle, and at a desk across from the glass doors, and closer to the entrance door. Elsa was sitting there, signing a bunch of papers, which were scattered across almost the whole desk, along with a box of chocolate truffles.

Eddie knocked on the glass doors to get her attention.

Elsa turned to her left and saw Eddie, and she smiled at him.

Elsa gestured with her hand for him to come in, and he did.

Elsa folded the papers and got up from her chair. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Thanks," Eddie replied.

"I haven't seen you in a while. Not since you saved me and Anna. Speaking of which, how do you feel?"

"It's been a while like you said, but I feel much better, so thanks. Sorry I keep coming completely unexpected. Maybe I need to call in from now on."

"You don't have to apologize. You're perfectly fine. I'm always happy to see you."

Then the entrance doors of the library opened and Anna came in. "Elsa, I wanted to ask-" she stopped when she saw Eddie. "Well, look who's here."

"You make some of the most unexpected entrances, Eddie. But I like you," Elsa said to him.

Anna looked passed Eddie and to the sunset. "Would you look at that?" she pointed to the setting sun.

Elsa and Eddie looked to it.

"Now that's beautiful," said Elsa walking to the glass doors. She went up and opened the doors, then walked over to the balcony and Eddie followed.

"I've never seen a sun set on a horizon before. Where I live, all the large buildings block it," Eddie came up next to her right.

"I always loved watching these with Anna and my parents when I was a kid. We'd all go and sit on a hilltop and look to the horizon, then we'd sit there and wait for the stars to come out. When they did, we'd try and make out things shaped into the stars. Like how people do with clouds."

"I'd do the exact same thing with my parents when I was little. We'd leave the city part of Chicago and try to find a good enough place to do it."

Then Anna came up next to them, standing on Eddie's right, leaving him in the middle of the two. "This seems like something romantic to do, doesn't it?"

"I don't know," Eddie replied. "I've never had someone to love before. So I don't even know what romance is."

"Then I'm not the only one," said Elsa. "I spent 13 years locked in my room and I'd never known the real meaning of true love."

The sun finally set, and stars had completely covered the nighttime black and blue skies.

"There they are," said Eddie. "I suppose that in a time of romance, two people would be alone, talking and watching the stars."

"It seems to me like you do know something about romance," Elsa said to Eddie.

"Maybe a little."

"I wish someone like you could teach me the meaning of romance."

Eddie looked to her and then back to the stars, and all of a sudden, he got an idea. "Maybe I can."

"How?" Elsa asked,

Eddie then flew up and over the balcony, and he turned back to Elsa and held out his hand. "Come with me. I wanna show you something."

"What would that be?" Elsa asked again.

"It's a surprise. You won't know unless you come with me."

Elsa looked to Anna.

"Go on. This is a good chance for you. Do it. Go with him."

Elsa turned back towards the glass doors and went inside. She walked over to the desk, and from one of the drawers she pulled out her ring. She put it on, and walked back out to the balcony, where she went with Eddie up into the air.

"Lead the way," she said to him.

"Let's go then," Eddie replied, and they both flew off into the night.


In another place, Eddie had Elsa keep her eyes closed, while he guided her along.

"So, what is it you wanted to show me?" Elsa asked.

"Just a few more seconds," Eddie replied. Then they landed on a building top. "Ok. Open your eyes."

Elsa opened up her eyes, and saw it. He'd taken them to Paris. From where they were standing, they could see a view of the City of Lights. Everything was in clear sight. Lights filled the entire town, and the Eiffel Tower was seen above all other.

Elsa stared at it in awe. "What is this?"

"Welcome to Paris. We like to call it the City of Lights."

"It's so beautiful."

"It's also a real place of romance. There's so much to see. Come on. I'll show you all around."

The two of them both flew off, Elsa following Eddie, and they flew to the City of Lights.

Eddie flew off towards the Eifel Tower, with Elsa following close behind.

They stopped at the top hovering near it.

"Here's one of the greatest things in Paris. We call it the Eifel Tower." Eddie gestured to the tall tower, which loomed over the City of Lights.

"I like this a lot. It's beautiful isn't it?" Elsa looked to Eddie.

Eddie constructed a beret on his head. "Qui, mon ami," Eddie replied in a French accent.

Elsa laughed a little bit.

"Come on. You're gonna love this next one," Eddie said flying off towards a building not far and Elsa followed him.

The next thing Eddie took her to see, was Notre Dame.

"This is what's known as Notre Dame. It's really just like any other church, but it is a landmark of Paris. Not much, I know."

"I think it's wonderful," Elsa replied. "How about this time, you follow me?"

"Lead the way, ma'am."

Elsa flew off towards the lit up town, and this time Eddie was the one who followed.

They began flying through the City of Lights, staying out of sight so nobody would see them. They were circling all the lit up buildings and then they both flew up above it all.

Above the City of Lights they both joined together and began to waltz in mid air.

They then took off flying back towards the city, and then went over Seine River, and flew only a few feet above it, so that they both saw their reflections in the water.

Eddie went right below Elsa and began to fly like he were laying on his back, and he smiled to her, which Elsa returned.

Elsa went and flew as low as Eddie, next to his left.

She put her left hand in the water, while moving across it. After which she looked to Eddie, and with her wet hand, she flicked it playfully in his face.

They both laughed at Elsa's little trick, then flew up back towards the City of Lights again.


When they were back in the middle of the city, they'd sat on the roof of Notre Dame, looking to the view they had of the City of Lights and the Eifel Tower.

"This is so beautiful," Elsa said while looking to the city.

"It is, isn't it?" Eddie replied also looking to the lights.

"Oh, Eddie. This night is great," Elsa said putting her head on his right shoulder and Eddie wrapped his arm around her. "Thank you for bringing me here."

"You're welcome. So now do you know what romance feels like?"

"I think I do. It's just so wonderful being with someone that you really care about. I love the feel of romance."

"I guess this is why they also call this place the City of Romance. It's cause people can really fall in love here. Probably better than anywhere else in the world."

As Eddie kept his arm around the snow queen, she took his right hand with her own right hand and cuddled with him.

The next thing they knew, both their rings started to light up.

They pulled away from each other to look at the green and blue lights coming from their Lantern rings.

They looked happily to each other and they smiled, knowing they had the same idea. They raised their rings into the air, and both shot a little ball of light.

Those little balls of blue and green light merged together and turned a blue-green mix color, then constructed a big heart, which then floated down in front of them, shining bright with blue-green light.

The blue-green heart construct then faded, and the snow queen and the American looked directly into each other's eyes.

They both held onto each other's hands and then closed their eyes, then they both moved their heads towards each other, to make lip contact.

But then, before they could make contact, something grabbed Eddie.

Elsa opened her eyes to see Eddie being dragged through the air, by his former, Red Lantern friend. "Eddie!" she yelled and then flew after them.

Eddie looked and saw Tyler's face, then he punched his former friend in the gut, making him let go.

Eddie began falling, but using the abilities of his power ring, he levitated himself, and before he could fly back to Elsa, who he saw coming to him, Tyler came back over and punched him in the chest, making Eddie fly back a few feet.

Tyler fired a blast from his ring at Eddie, but just before the crimson red light could come in contact, Eddie created a big wall, which stopped Tyler's attack.

Elsa flew up towards Tyler, attempting to blast him with her ring, but he shot a rope construct at her, which wrapped itself around her, then he threw her towards Eddie, and they crashed.

Tyler then blasted them both with a powerful red energy blast from his ring, and that caused them to fly through the air, and slam against a building wall, then Tyler came and floated right in front of them.

Both Elsa and Eddie also levitated themselves in mid-air.

"Leave it to you to ruin my perfect night," Eddie said to his Red Lantern friend.

"You ruined my life by putting me in jail. Now I'm gonna end yours," Tyler responded and charged up his ring.

"Tyler, please. This has gone far enough. This has to stop," Eddie pleaded.

"You know what, you're right. It does have to stop. I'm gonna end it right now!" And he fired a powerful blast from his ring, big enough to blast them both.

Elsa and Eddie both flew off in opposite directions.

"Tyler, I can't keep going through with this! I don't wanna fight you anymore. You have no idea how much it pained me to have to hurt you in our last battles."

"Then let me end your misery!" Tyler fired another blast, and Eddie barely dodged it.

Tyler created a giant battle axe, then zoomed towards Eddie. He flew right above him, and prepared to strike with his giant red construct, but Eddie created an anvil and blocked Tyler's attack with it.

"Eddie, come on!" Elsa called to him.

He took off flying towards Elsa and then they both started to fly away, but Tyler followed them.

Tyler was flying at top speed and he caught up to them in only seconds. He then began to throw great punches, kicks and red fiery energy blasts, which were hard for the two to avoid.

Elsa and Eddie fought back as best they could, by blocking his attacks with wall constructs, and dodging his hits, but Tyler got harder to avoid with every move he made, and his rage was strong, so it made his power stronger.

Tyler constructed a metal leg on his left foot; With it, he kicked Eddie in his gut, then blasted him with his ring, making him go whizzing through the air. Afterwards, he constructed a bowie knife, then prepared to fly towards Eddie, but then someone tugged on his ponytailed hair.

He dissolved the knife, and looked to see Elsa had been pulling him back with a hand construct.

"Let go of my ponytail!" He yelled back to her then fired a blast of red energy at her.

The blast hit Elsa and made her let go, and then Tyler shot a lasso from his ring, and took Elsa's ring.

Without her ring, Elsa had no way to fly, and she began to fall from the air.

"Too easy," Tyler said as he watched and waited for Elsa to fall to her death.

The next thing Tyler knew though, someone hit him with something hard and heavy.

Tyler groaned in pain and turned to see Eddie, who had a shovel construct and had made another move the second he looked to him, and punched him in his face.

Elsa's ring was thrown up from his hand and Eddie caught it, then quickly zoomed towards Elsa to save her.

Elsa , who'd been falling, was almost about to hit the ground, but as she was only a few feet away from death, Eddie caught her, then he flew them onto an old, boarded up building.

Tyler recovered after being hit by Eddie. He now had red marks on his face, and his right eye blackened. He touched his swollen eye, but then winced in pain, and growled angrily. "Ooh! Now I'm angry." He looked to see Elsa and Eddie on the building, then he flew towards them.

Elsa and Eddie looked to see Tyler flying towards them at top speed.

Eddie quickly gave Elsa her ring, she put it on, then they both started to fly up.

Tyler began to fire red blasts from is ring at them, as he chased them, and they did their best and barely dodged them.

They began flying towards the town of all the lit up buildings, and they flew past and all around the buildings, doing their best to stay out of sight and trying to get away from Tyler. But everywhere they went, Tyler followed them, firing red energy blasts.

They flew past every building they came near, then Eddie looked to see they were coming up to a big area of red bricked buildings, and in a few areas, there were alleyways.

"Let's go this way!" Eddie called to Elsa gesturing to the alleyways.

"Are you sure?" Elsa asked.

"We may have a better chance at losing him."

Eddie flew towards the first alleyway he could get to, and Elsa followed.

The alleyways were only a few feet wide, so only one person could go in at a time, but they were able to fit through.

"I'm still here, Eddie!" they heard Tyler call from behind them.

Eddie then constructed a baseball and bat. "I gotta slow him down." He tossed the ball up a few feet in the air, then used the bat to hit it as hard as he could.

Tyler saw the ball coming at him, then he constructed a chainsaw, and cut the ball in half, just before it could come in contact with him. He dissolved his chainsaw then glared towards Eddie. "So that's how you wanna play, huh? All right." And then he constructed a ninja throwing star, and threw it, making it fly and stay in the air.

Eddie looked back and saw the star coming at it. He flinched at flew even faster towards Elsa, who was in front of him. "Go, go, go!" Eddie began to panic.

"What is it?" Elsa asked worriedly.

"Ninja throwing star."

"A what?"

"Sharp, flying object."

Then the red star construct flew past them both.

"Whoa! That was close," Eddie exclaimed.

And then the star turned around like a boomerang and came right at them.

"Eddie!" Elsa yelled.

"I got it!" Eddie responded and shot a blast from his ring, which destroyed the red construct. Then Eddie looked behind again and saw Tyler created six more in both his hands, and he threw all 12 of them.

As they started to come close, Eddie created a Tommy gun, and he opened fire at the star constructs. But they flew in different patterns, left and right, side to side, that they were hard to blast. Eddie managed to destroy at least four, until his gun ran out of ammo.

The remaining stars all started to fly close to him, and when they came near, Eddie constructed a big shield in front of him, which got all of them, but one.

When the last one was coming near, he created a hand construct, grabbed the last star with it, then throw it back towards Tyler.

Tyler saw his construct coming back at him, and he tried to avoid it, but it was so fast, that it slashed him on his left arm.

Eddie looked to see the long alleyway coming to an end. And at the end, there was a metal clothes pole, with no laundry hanging on it, and Eddie got an idea. He turned back to Tyler, then constructed a dozen little balls in his hands, then threw them all.

As they came in contact with Tyler, they burst into a white steam-like smog.

"Ah! Tear gas!" Tyler yelled as his eyes started to burn.

He started to wipe his eyes, but had them closed, so he couldn't see where he was going.

Only when he was finally able to open his eyes, was when he hit his head on the clothes pole. After hitting, he flew smack into the wall, and crashed down to the ground.

After seeing what had just happened, Elsa and Eddie gazed in shock.

They both flew down to Tyler's unconscious body, and he was now bleeding on his forehead.

Eddie kneeled down to his unconscious friend. "Tyler?" He tried to shake him awake, but he didn't move. "Tyler?!" Eddie shook him more and began to worry. "Oh, God. Don't be dead." He pulled Tyler's ring off his finger, and the red energy drained from his body, yet Tyler still didn't wake up.

Tyler no longer wore his Red Lantern uniform; He wore his dark brown, leather jacket, a black shirt with a big white skull designed on it, dark blue jeans and black combat boots.

Eddie put the red ring in Tyler's jacket pocket, and he put his head to Tyler's chest. "He's got a heartbeat, but it's getting slow. I have to get him to a hospital."

Eddie picked up his body, then used his ring to open a wormhole. "Let's go."

They both walked through the wormhole, and it vanished just after they walked in.


Back in Chicago, Elsa and Eddie went to the nearest hospital, and when he took Tyler's body to the front desk, the man immediately had a gurney brought out. They took Tyler, and rushed him to the emergency room, while Elsa and Eddie waited inside the waiting room.

Elsa had been looking through all the magazines, but Eddie just stayed in shock, holding Tyler's brown jacket, and was just staring down to it, worried about his best friend.

Elsa looked away from her magazine, then looked to Eddie. She put her right hand on his left thigh. "Don't worry. He'll be okay." She reassured him. And she took hold of his left hand.

"He could have died back there because of me. I don't know what I was thinking. Why didn't I just hit him with knock out gas, then take his ring?"

"He'll be all right. Just have confidence and faith."

The two waited for about an hour and a half, before one of the doctors came out into the waiting room; He wore a blue-green doctor's uniform, a white coat, with utensils in the pocket and white tennis shoes. He had a flat, charcoal black hairdo, hazel eyes and wore a stethoscope around his neck. "Edward Michaels?" He called out.

Elsa and Eddie got up and walked towards the doctor.

"Me. I'm Edward Michaels."

"Hello. I'm Dr. Jerry Edwards. We did a few tests and a little operation on your friend."

"How is he?"

"He's gonna be fine. Though he received quite a concussion. What exactly happened to him?"

"We were out bike riding, when he something got out of control, and he accidentally went smack into a parked car," Eddie told a phony story, knowing he couldn't let them know what really happened.

"Interesting. Well he's asleep right now, and we did run some tests. The hit he suffered put him into a few hour coma, and I believe he's had a slight amnesia experience. We can't tell what he can and can't remember. But we'll ask him when he wakes up. But I don't think that he remembers his accident, so I believe that's a good side of the amnesia."

"Thank you, Dr. Edwards. I'll be by around noon tomorrow to see him. Oh, and could you take this to his room," Eddie gave the doctor Tyler's jacket. "It belongs to him."

"I'll make sure it'll be there for him."

"Thank you," he turned to Elsa. "Come on. Let's go home."

The two left the hospital and went down an alleyway near the hospital, where nobody would see them.

"I told you he'd be okay," Elsa said to him.

"I guess I was juts so worried. Though he tried to kill us, he's still my friend. He's just mad with power. Soon, I know he'll come to his senses."

"Hey, thanks for taking me to that place. It was wonderful."

"You're welcome. Apart from being attacked, I had a great time tonight."

Elsa moved in closer towards Eddie, then she gave him a quick kiss on his lips.

"That's for showing me real romance. See you soon."

And then she flew up into the air.

Eddie stared towards Elsa, as she disappeared into the night, and felt all warm and cozy on the inside.

He walked away from the alley with his head held high, and completely forgot about his recent troubles.


All right. Sorry I took so long to update. I just couldn't figure out how I wanted this to go, so I needed to brainstorm. And I know that chase scene was like in Spiderman 3, but I thought it was actually a good one. And you now see why I called this one Battle through the Lights? He took Elsa to a real place of romance. Anyhow I hope you enjoyed this one. And just for a little spoiler, next chapter will be the part I think some of you have been waiting for. Know what that means? If not, you'll find out next time. Please read, review and enjoy.
