Prologue

Settled on Sorcier west coast was a somewhat large settlement known as 'Coast Town' it had been a peaceful town before the war had began.

Three years ago war had broken out between Sorcier and its neighbour to the west William during the first year of the war the kingdom had sent a regiment to protect Coast Town as King Owen was sure it would be attacked since it was in-between the two country's it was an important tactical location.

But rather surprisingly Coast Town hadn't been attacked and over the past two and a half years and thus it had become a very important strategic position for Sorcier as battalions of soldiers used it as a resting stop before heading to battle somewhere else across the boarder, the only explanation anyone could come up with as to why the town hadn't been attacked was that the enemy hadn't found it.

But now Wilram had discovered the town and were launching a full scale assault on the town to secure it and so one of the most important battles of the war began as if Sorcier lost the town they would lose a strategically vital spot, the battle had been going for three days now, swords clashed in the streets and arrows flew off the rooftops.

''Where is he?! Where the hell is he?!''

''He'll be here we just need to hold out a little longer!''

''Well he's certainly taking his sweet ass time!''

''Shouldn't he already be here!''

''Incoming!''

The Sorcierian soldiers all braced themselves as a boulder the Wilramian's launchd from one of their catapults hurtled towards them, only to be snatched out of the air by a large hand that looked to be made out of green flames and thrown back at the senders wrecking their catapult.

Now all of the Sorcierian soldiers looked to the sky and cheered as they saw a man standing in the sky surrounded by green flames coming out of a green ring shaped like a lantern, he was dressed in green armour similar to that of a knight with a lantern emblem on the chest, a purple cape was draped around his neck and a purple mask covered his eyes and nose which contrasted to his blond hair which had become dirty and messy, most likely due to the hours he was fighting and notably a green lantern was strapped to his hip.

Green Lantern descended from the sky and landed next to a captain ''what's the situation captain?'' He asked.

''A lot better now that your here sir'' the captain saluted ''we've been holding strong but the enemy has recently been bombarding us with catapults, but now your here the odds have tipped in our favour''

Suddenly a burst of crimson flames shot out of the sky, Green Lantern quickly released a burst of green flames out of his ring to block the blast of crimson flames, while this happened the Sorcierian soldiers flinched and raised their arms to protect themselves, while the Wilramian soldiers all cheered.

As the crimson flames let up Green Lantern looked up to the sky ''well captain it appears the odds have evened out in our enemies favour'' he mused.

As another man was now stood in the sky, he was dressed in near identical armour as Green Lantern but his armour was a deep crimson red and the lantern emblem was slightly different, a black cape was draped around his neck and his eyes and nose were covered by a black mask which matched his dark hair which covered his head and reached down from his temples all the way down to his face covering it with a thick black beard and like Green Lantern he wore a special ring shaped like a lantern, but this one was red and burned with a crimson flame and a red lantern that hung on his hip.

''Don't worry captain we just need to hold out a little longer, I'll deal with him'' stated Green Lantern taking to the sky, he could briefly hear the captain barking orders before he reached the same height as the other man, as he reached the same height he glared at the man with red flames and the man glared back at him ''I was expecting you Red Lantern''

''As I was expecting you Green Lantern this might be one of the most important battles in the war after all'' stated Red Lantern.

''It doesn't have to be'' stated Green Lantern ''we don't have to fight at all please we don't have to be enemies, our countries don't need to be enemies, I do't know why your country attacked mine but we can rectify this, I regularly speak to my king and I know you must do the same, we can open up a dialogue we don't need to end this in bloodshed, please''

For a moment Red Lantern was silent, though from the grimace on his face Green Lantern could tell he was thinking it over before sighing ''I'm sorry but that's not going to happen, you've made this offer before and I told my king, the Zarr, about it and he refused stating that the war will only end when he's dead or victorious and before you make the offer no I will not join with your country, as I love my country and nothing will make me turn my back on it, I'm sorry Green Lantern I would have enjoyed fighting alongside you and I am genuinely sorry that I have to kill you''

''I would have enjoyed fighting alongside you as well and you don't have to worry I have no intention of dying in this war'' stated Green Lantern.

Both of the lanterns blasted at each other with their rings, the Green and Crimson flames clashed as there battle began.


-Three Years Later-

Luigi Claes had a big smile on his face as he made his way though the royal palace ball room, all around him Barons to Dukes, Lords and Ladies were celebrating as six years of gruelling war had come to an end had finally come to an end and King Owen was hosting a party for the Nobles, while Commoners all over the land were having their own celebrating while all the Nobles celebrated in the Royal Palace.

Unfortunately Queen Eleanor couldn't attend the party as she was pregnant, much like Luigi's wife who also wasn't attending the party and much like his wife it was because she didn't want to spend hours standing around in an ornate dress, Luigi had seen the young princes around the party though, Princes Geoffrey and Ian Stuart.

Luigi walked out to a balcony and after a few minutes of pacing he settled down looking out from the balcony to the view beyond and after an hour of waiting Luigi heard the door open, Luigi turned to the sight of King Owen Suart and Prime Minister Dan Ascart, the two quickly joined him on the balcony.

''Sorry for the wait Luigi'' Dan said.

''It's fine, I understand and besides it gave me time to look around'' said Luigi ''we should be able to talk us long as we keep our voices low''

The other two nodded and there discussion started, this wasn't the first private meeting the three had, they had been close friends since they were kids and they had stayed friends throughout the years, when the three went to the academy and became members of the student council the three had formed a group that they called 'the Triumvirate' and this group would continue to this day, the purpose of the group was for the three friends to discuss plans they had and plan ways to support each other in those plans, they had planned to end it after school but decided to keep it going, it turned out to be a very good idea, especially in the war, additionally all three of them knew a secret that only one other outside of this group knew and it was a very important secret.

As the friends settled and began to make conversation Dan eyed Luigi's hand and noticed something ''your not wearing the Lantern Ring?''

Yes, Luigi Claes was the Green Lantern, he had shown Owen and Dan the Lantern as well as the Ring and had shown them what it would do before the war started, a couple of months after Prince Geoffrey was born and when the war started after a meeting of the Triumvirate the King had introduced Green Lantern to the Sorceirian army.

At first the army was skeptical of this new 'special soldier' but Luigi quickly proved his value to them and they quickly came to accept him especially when the Wilramian soldiers launched an attack on the capital accompanied by a new 'special soldier' the Red Lantern, that was the first time the two had encountered each other and while Luigi had fought him off, but it was a hard battle.

''No, from this day forwards I intend to semi-retire as Green Lantern'' stated Luigi.

''Semi-retired?'' Owen questioned a brow raised.

''Yes if the country needs me I will don the Ring again, but other than that I don't plan to wear the ring again'' stated Luigi.

The reason why Luigi was the one wearing the ring was that the Triumvirate didn't want to risk giving the Ring to the wrong person and so far Luigi seemed to be the only one it would respond to, as such Luigi wore the ring and fought on the frontlines as Green Lantern, the persona was one of the first things the three agreed on, it was to protect Luigi from potential assassination attempts, while Luigi fought the there two had their own jobs.

Initially while in school the Triumvirate would work like this: one of the three would put forwards and idea and the other two would back the idea, but when they became members of Noble society and acclimated to their new roles the alliance would work differently, while the other two would still back the one who gave the idea they would also offer additional assistance, weather that be giving resources or convincing other nobles the idea was valid, the purpose of the Triumvirate was essentially to guide the kingdom in the direction they felt it needed to go.

''Personally, I don't mind Luigi though I will have to ask you to occasionally show up as Green Lantern, because Green Lantern does represent much of our strength, without him our other neighbours may feel emboldened so to speak'' stated Owen.

As the king Owen mostly focused on his people and the other members of the Triumvirate supported him on it, during the war Owen would introduce several policies to help the people as well as for the injured soldiers and families of the fallen, Luigi would donate to many of these policies with many Nobles following in his example, as Luigi was a popular and well respected member of the community, these donations would greatly help to improve relations between Nobility and the common people which before the war was tenuous at best.

But that wasn't all Owen did as king he was also involved in most of the strategic movements of the war and even fought on the frontlines a few times.

''Green Lanterns strength has also been a great tool for negotiation, not that that matters just pointing it out, it did help a lot as many would rather have a powerful all than a weak one'' stated Dan.

Since Owen was focused on the people Dan had to focus on the outside of Sorcier, as Prime Minister it was up to Dan to negotiate with other countries to secure trade routes and possibly additional forces for the war effort, these trade routes would provide weapons, food, medicine and other supplies.

''Of course, just tell me when and Green Lantern will make an appearance'' stated Luigi ''I'll get the Lantern and Ring from where I've hid them, I'll tell you where''

''Of course, just tell me when and Green Lantern will make an appearance'' stated Luigi ''I'll get the lantern and Ring fro where I've hid them, I'll tell you where-''

''There's no need Luigi, we trust you to keep it safe you don't need to tell us'' said Dan with Owen nodding his head.

''Thank you, both of you'' said Luigi.

''There is something troubling me though'' stated Owen, which made Luigi and Dan look at him concerned ''we have no idea what happened to Red Lantern do we''

Luigi grimaced in the fourth year of the war Red Lantern started to appear more spastically and in the fifth year he disappeared all together, which troubled Luigi, he never hated Red Lantern or saw him as an enemy, he saw him more as a rival if anything, Red Lantern was just following orders and Luigi didn't hold it against him, he wished Red Lantern had joined up with him, but it was Red Lanterns choice and Luigi couldn't stop that.

''I've actually heard some whispers about him'' stated Dan, this drew Luigi and Owens attention ''now this is from an unconfirmed source so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently from what I've heard he went crazy and went rogue attacking some kind of facility''

There was a moment of quiet between the three ''hmm, I'm not sure I fully believe that, but if that is true I'd say there must be more to it than that'' stated Luigi, to which the other two nodded.

''We never learned what happened to her either, did we?'' Owen asked.

''No we didn't and to be frank I'm ok with that'' said Luigi.

''I agree, she was quite the meddlesome presence wasn't she'' said Dan.

''Indeed, honestly I'd be happy if we never saw the colour pink again because of her'' stated Owen ''now there's one last thing, we need to discuss, tomorrow there will be a medal ceremony, me and Dan will be handing out various medals to soldiers, Luigi you'll have to show up as Green Lantern many in the army hold Green Lantern in high regards and if I didn't give Green Lantern a medal it wouldn't go down well with the army''

''Of course I'll come, I can announce my semiretirement there'' stated Luigi.

''Thank you Luigi, I only wish we could tell people you are Green Lantern my friend, so we could honour you properly'' stated Owen.

''You've already honoured me properly my friend, I already have a wonderful life, I have a beautiful wife and a child on the way, I don't need anymore than that, I'm happy with my life as it is'' stated Luigi.


Luigi gave another calming sigh as he paced back and forth, his wife had just gone into labour and he was now waiting with bated breath over the birth of their child, his whole body was trembling he was so nervously exited.

Miridiana had wanted to give birth in the mansion and so Miridiana was in one of the mansions many spare rooms with a midwife helping her to give birth and any minute now he'd enter the room and-

''AAAHHH!''

Startled Luigi rushed in the room ''Miridiana what-''

''Luigi, what is it!? What's wrong!? Is the baby ok!?'' Miridiana cried, Luigi saw she was laid on the bed, having just given birth she was too weak to move and was desperately trying to see what was wrong, the one who had screamed was the midwife who was now holding his child, but her grip was very loose!

Luigi rushed forwards and took the crying child into his arms, glaring at the midwife he quickly shifted his grip to hold his child correctly and gazed down at it and he was taken aback, this was his daughter the child he had made with Miridiana, Katarina Claes, to Luigi this child was the most beautiful thing in the world, but there was a small problem and that small problem was undoubtedly the thing that caused the midwife to scream, Katarina's skin was green, a beautiful light shade of green, but green none the less.

''Luigi!? Luigi whats wrong?!'' Miridiana cried snapping Luigi to his senses.

''Nothing Miridiana, nothings wrong, the midwife… was just taken aback by our daughters beauty'' stated Luigi before levelling a piercing glare at the midwife, the midwife flinched the subtle hint wasn't lost on her.

''Y-y-yes, my apologies ma'am you've given birth to a beautiful healthy daughter'' said the midwife.

Luigi nodded as he pulled a blue ribbon out of his pocket ''thank you ma'am, now if you wouldn't mind can you please stand outside the room and explain what happened to any of my stuff who heard your scream'' Luigi ordered, the midwife nodded and left the room as Luigi wrapped the ribbon around Katarina's arm.

This wasn't an ordinary ribbon though it was a magical tool, it could be used to conceal any blemishes and make one look completely normal, with it wrapped around Katarina's arm her skin turned from green to a more normal peachy colour, Luigi smiled and brought Katarina over to Miridiana, he smiled as his wife good over there newborn daughter.

Luigi smiled as he watched his wife and child, he was glad he had prepared just in case his connection to the Lantern effected his child in any way, Miridiana didn't know he was Green Lantern and he wanted to keep it that way, whenever he tried to get her opinion on Green Lantern Miridiana would quickly change the subject which made him think that she didn't think too highly of his persona so he would continue to keep it a secret.

And he kept the secret even as Katarina grew, there were a few complications yes for example he insisted on being the one to wash Katarina to ensure none of the staff would see her green skin, but Luigi knew Katarina couldn't and wouldn't always want to wear a ribbon, fortunately his ring could help him with that, using his ring he copied the ribbons enchantment and gave it to a golden necklace with a green gem which he gifted to Katarina on her birthday.

Katarina loved it and Luigi made her promise to never take it off and Katarina stuck to her promise, she slept and bathed with it on, even when Katarina hit her head and had a drastic change of personality she kept her word and kept wearing that necklace, but Luigi knew Katarina would learn the secret and he just hoped he would be ready when that happened.


Ok there we go I hope you enjoyed this I really didn't know how to start this, which in and of itself might be a sign that this is a bad idea.

Before anyone asks yes I do intend to use the Silver Age Green Lantern Mythos like the Emotional Spectrum, I don't know how yet but I will use it, I just started with the Golden Age stuff because I felt like it fit the setting of My Next Life as a Villainess a bit better and I also wanted to add in some of the newer stuff that was introduced like the Golden Age Red Lantern.

Yeah that's a thing I'm actually surprised that wasn't a villain for Alan Scott sooner especially if you know the creative origin of the GA Green Lantern, but yeah like the GA Green Lantern the GA Red Lantern also has a daughter with powers that make her skin a different colour and a character in this will be the equivalent to that character, it's not going to be an OC it's going to a character from the series, who do you think it's going to be? Tell me in the reviews if you want.

Oh and out of curiosity when we get to the Corps who do you think should get what ring?
