All right, viewers. Here's the new chapter. If you'll read the recent reviews, I've been given some pretty good ideas from author ChibiGuardian75. I think it's finally time for someone to make a decision, and for Elsa and Eddie to move on in their relationship if you know what I mean. If not, you'll find out. Let's go.
December 16th.
A couple of weeks later, after Sinestro had come close to turning Eddie into a Yellow Lantern but failed to do so. In that time there had been no other attacks from the Yellow Lanterns or any of the other enemies.
In the mid-afternoon Eddie and his parents, as well as Lisa and Tyler had gone to Arendelle to plan for their Christmas together.
"So, the way I see us doing this is we do presents Christmas morning at my house, and considering we're all gonna be together for it, we do Christmas dinner here. What do you think?" Eddie asked.
"I think it sounds like a really good idea," Elsa replied. "Every Christmas, our chefs cook up a delicious meal. They make more than all of us and the staff can eat, so yeah having dinner here sounds really great."
"By the way, you two lovebirds. How was the honeymoon?" Damien asked Lisa and Tyler.
"It was amazing, Mr. Michaels. I've never had a more perfect moment in my life. And I look forward to what the future holds for me and my beautiful wife," Tyler said throwing his arm around Lisa.
"Plus, because of that gold Eddie struck. We can finally do what we've always wanted. Tyler and I are finally gonna open our own restaurant." Lisa said holding out a sheet of paper with the design of a building that read 'Pierce and Wolfe's Cantina. Food. Music. Bar.'
"That's right. I forgot you told us you always wanted to own a restaurant," Jasmine said.
"We've booked a spot for it. Construction begins after New Year's," Lisa replied.
"I look forward to seeing it. I imagine it'll be a pretty popular joint," Eddie said.
"Oh, I hope so. And we owe it all to you, Eddie. Because of you, we're gonna make our dream a reality." Lisa said.
"Hey, what are friends for? I've known you both for years, and we've always had each other's backs."
"Apart from me trying to kill you when I was a Red Lantern," Tyler chimed in.
"Water under the bridge or over the dam, wherever you like it."
"Speaking of which, Eddie, Tyler and I have been talking. You know how we both have rings like the rest of you guys. Well, we're still unsure about wearing them." Lisa said as she and Tyler pulled out their Indigo Tribe and Star Sapphire power rings from their pockets. "I know Tyler had some experience using one of these when he was a Red Lantern, but I'm absolutely clueless as to how you even work one of these."
"Well, they can actually be pretty simple once you get the hang of them," Eddie responded. "I know for you, Lisa, fighting is nothing new to you. In our junior high years, you took martial arts and from the looks of things, you were a born black belt. Combine that with the powers of a Lantern ring, and you might be able to do greatly. Take names, kick ass."
"I think he's got a point, Lisa," Damien spoke up. "I watched Eddie take on that Sinestro guy a couple weeks ago. And boy did he show him who was boss."
"It's tempting, but I think I'd like to talk to the leaders of the Star Sapphires before I decide anything," Lisa said.
"I think I'd also like to meet them," Anna chimed in. "I've had my ring for months now and never even met the leaders of this Corps."
"Well, I think we could arrange that," Elsa spoke up. "We met the Star Sapphires when we were in Frontier Space with Sinestro. Maybe they could even train you on how to use your ring more, Anna."
"We'll take you girls there if you'd like," Eddie said. "How about you, Tyler? You along for the ride?"
"I was actually thinking of going to talk with Iroque. Maybe she can help me make a decision. After all, she basically just gave me the ring and took off afterwards. Didn't get much chance to talk about this with her."
"Then I'll take you there," Kristoff said. "I've had my ring for just as long as Anna's had hers, so I could also use some more training."
"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Eddie said. "I'll go with Anna to take Lisa to the Star Sapphires."
"I think I'll go with Tyler and Kristoff then. Who knows, maybe we could learn more about that Blackest Night prophecy Iroque told us about." Elsa said.
"Blackest Night?" Jasmine said confused.
"What is that?" Damien asked.
"We're unsure of it ourselves," Eddie replied. "Back when Elsa and I were first starting out as Lanterns, we were out in Frontier Space and on a lifeless planet, we'd found some sort of prophecy carved into a cavern wall. And after Anna and Kristoff received their rings, we met the Indigo Tribe, and their leader Iroque had told us they'd also learned of this Blackest Night prophecy. They said something about some being of sorts known as The Black. She wasn't very specific about it, but she said that whatever it is, it's something that threatens to destroy all life in the universe."
"Well, that's a scary thought," Damien said.
"Good thing we have a lot of allies. I have a good feeling that together, if this thing does try and end all life, our combined might could stop it," Eddie said.
"That's the spirit, kiddo," Damien said.
"All right then. If we're ready, then what's say we all head out," Eddie said as they each morphed into their uniforms.
Anna had put Lisa's arm over her shoulder to secure her, while Elsa did the same with Tyler and everyone flew from the window and into space.
In space, Eddie opened a wormhole, and they all flew into it leaving the milky way galaxy.
On the other end of the wormhole, the six friends flew out of it and were now in Frontier Space.
"Ok, people, here's where we'll part ways," Eddie said. "The planet Nok is in that direction, whilst Zamaron is this way."
"Guess we'll meet up later then," Tyler said. "Good luck with the training, babe." He said to his wife.
"You too," Lisa replied as both of the trios flew off in opposite directions.
Unbeknownst to any of them, a Red Lantern probe had been in the area and was watching them.
On Ysmault, Atrocitus was in his computer center watching the footage the probe had sent.
"The traitor, Tyler, looking to join a new alliance of ring wielders. That pitiful human destroyed my plans to wipe out the human race, now it's time he suffered the consequences. No one double crosses me and lives to fight against me. And what's more his other human friends are here with him. This is our chance to end them all." Atrocitus then turned to face three of his most loyal Red Lantern recruits, Bleez, Veon and Skallox. "You three, deal with that blue man and the princess."
"Yes, Lord Atrocitus," Bleez said, and they left the control room.
Atrocitus then turned to his other two loyal recruits, Zilius Zox and Hans. "Zox, Hans, it's time to show this traitor what happens to any who dare defy the Red Lantern corps.
"At last, time to take our revenge," Hans said with a malicious grin.
"Indeed," Atrocitus responded, and they left the control room as well.
Flying through space, Eddie, Anna and Lisa had seen the planet Zamaron in sight.
"There it is girls. You ready for this, Lisa?" Eddie asked.
"Ready as I can be."
The trio had flown down to the planet's surface and made their way to the palace.
"Is that a palace down there?" Lisa asked.
"Yep. The leader of the Star Sapphires is also the queen of the Zamarons," Eddie said, and they'd landed at the steps of the palace.
Several Star Sapphires who stood guard aimed their polearms at them, but then the queen stepped out and gestured for them to lower their weapons. "Fear not. For you see, one of them is one of us." Queen Aga'Po said. "Princess Anna and Lisa Pierce, so nice to finally meet you both in person."
"The feeling's mutual," Anna said as the trio bowed humbly to the queen.
"What brings the three of you here?" asked the queen.
Anna stepped forward. "It occurred to us both that you'd given us both rings, but we never actually met in person before."
"And Lisa here, she's been debating whether or not she wanted to accept her ring," Eddie chimed in. "Plus, the girls here, both wish to learn more about the Star Sapphires."
"I see. Then come in. We'll explain to you all the basics and knowledge you'll need to know." Aga'Po said and the trio followed her into the palace.
On the planet Nok, Elsa, Kristoff and Tyler had made their way to the purple planet to meet with the Indigo Tribe leader.
Down on the planet's surface, Iroque was nearby the central battery, and she looked to the skies to see the trio of familiar faces descending towards her.
"Kristoff Bjorgman and Tyler Wolfe. As well as Green Lantern Elsa. Welcome."
"Good to see you again, Iroque," Elsa greeted. "We've come because Tyler wanted to talk with you about the ring you gave to him."
The Indigo Tribe leader turned to Tyler. "I see. So, you have accepted the ring, Tyler Wolfe?"
"Well, no. Not yet. That's actually why I'm here. I wanted to talk with you about these abilities, and how it differs from a Red Lantern."
"Well, for starters, you understand the Red Lanterns are agents of hatred. Who abuse their powers to cause chaos and death, which leads to hatred."
"I know that much. Atrocitus only recruited me for his own desires for revenge. I, like all the others was being used for his selfish actions for destruction and malice. I was nothing more than a tool to him. Just took me so long to realize."
"I see. So, you do still feel remorse. And I can see in your eyes you also feel regret from the destruction, the pain of hurting those closest to you and the mayhem you caused. Betrayal from realization that you were used by Atrocitus for revenge," Iroque said.
Tyler remained silent for a moment before he nodded solemnly. "Because of him, I did a lot of things I really regret. I hurt people, including my closest friends. Not to mention I became so twisted and confused that I very nearly killed the love of my life. I've tried so hard to let it all go, but I can't get it out of my head. Everything I did as a Red Lantern. How could I ever forgive myself for any of it."
"That's precisely why I gave you that ring, Tyler Wolfe."
"She's right, Tyler," Elsa spoke up. "She knew that you were still beating yourself up inside over what you did as a Red Lantern. Despite being forgiven by your friends, you still haven't found it in your heart to forgive yourself. And that's why you haven't accepted the Indigo Tribe ring, isn't it?"
Tyler pulled the ring from his jacket pocket. "I think it's because I'm afraid. Afraid that if I put this ring on, I'll be tempted by greed and lust for power again. Tempted into causing mayhem and destruction all over again. That's what drove me to do what I did in the first place. Why Atrocitius took advantage of my hatred and made me a Red Lantern."
"You need not worry," Iroque said. "Our powers differ from the Red Lanterns very greatly. Rather than being driven insane with power, the indigo light will help you see the error of your ways and will allow you to make up for your previous misdeeds."
"She's right, Tyler," Kristoff said. "When I accepted my ring, I could feel that this kind of power was one that could only be used to help, instead of hurt."
"As I had said, if you really do wish to make amends for your past, accept the ring and we can help you do so."
Tyler looked to the ring in the palm of his right hand. "You're certain that by putting on this ring, I won't go mad with power again?" He asked both Iroque and Kristoff.
"Positive," Kristoff nodded.
He looked back down to the purple ring. "If there's really a chance to make right what I did wrong, then it's a chance I'll take." Tyler said as he took the ring in his left hand, and then slid it onto the middle finger of his right hand.
After doing so, the ring began to glow, and light began to pass over and cover his whole body. In an instant, he wore a new uniform. Apart from the different color and insignia, it resembled the uniform he wore as a Red Lantern and the Indigo Tribe insignia appeared on his forehead.
Tyler looked over himself and examined his body. "Wow. I feel as if any temptations I'd ever had to use power for wrong doings has been instantly eradicated from me completely."
"That is the power of compassion. Welcome, Tyler Wolfe, to the Indigo Tribe," Iroque said.
Tyler then turned to Elsa and Kristoff. "How do I look?"
"I think purple really suits you better than red," Elsa replied.
"I agree. Purple is definitely more your color," Kristoff said as well.
"Now there's something else we wanted to ask you about, Iroque," Elsa said.
"Anything," Iroque replied.
"When we came here after Kristoff had recieved his ring, you told us that you'd been told about what's known as the Blackest Night prophecy. Well, several months before we'd met you, Eddie, Sinestro and I had learned of it, too. We discovered a planet devoid of any life, and in a cavern, we'd uncovered it there carved into the wall. What I'm asking is if you can tell us any more about it."
"When Abin Sur learned of this prophecy, he had told us that this Blackest Night was a great evil hidden by the Guardians within one of their own. He knew that if this Blackest Night prophecy had come to pass, it would be the end of the Green Lantern corps."
"An evil hidden within? You mean that one of the Guardians could be responsible for whatever is to come?"
"Indeed. Helping Notromo start the Indigo Tribe was the first step into putting an end to the Guardians' madness. For if their ways are to continue, then the Blackest Night prophecy shall indeed come to pass."
"But which of them would try to bring about something that would end all life across the universe?"
"It is unknown. But I believe whoever it is, is no longer among them."
"I've only been a Green Lantern for 5 months. And I know the Guardians can be stubborn at times, but none of them seem like the type to want to end life in the universe. From the looks of it, they do what they can to protect it. Unless there are renegades somewhere out there."
"It could be just that, Queen Elsa."
"I'd better call Eddie on this. See what he thinks of this," Elsa said and walked away a distance to contact Eddie.
Back on Zamaron, Anna, Lisa and Eddie sat in an area of the palace where there was terrace with a view of the planet.
"So, what you both must know is that love conquers all. Love gives one the strength to move forward," Aga'Po explained to the two girls.
"I know that much. I have so much love in my heart for a lot of things. Especially all the important people in my life," Anna said.
"And I know that I really love Tyler with all my heart," Lisa said as well.
"And another thing, you both should know. The ring of love allows you to reach out to the ones you most love and bring them to you. No matter how far apart you are, you have the power to bring to you the ones you most love."
Lisa looked to the Star Sapphire ring in her hand. "I know that loving Tyler, as well as the people closest to me so much is why you gave me this ring, but I'm still not sure if I want to accept it or not."
"If you do choose to accept it, Lisa, you and Tyler, if he accepts his ring would be a great help," Eddie said to her. "You know what they say, there's strength in numbers. And Elsa and I will accept any and all who would ally with us to help fight against these enemies."
"I know that you have more experience than Princess Anna, don't you, Eddie?" Aga'Po asked the human Blue Lantern.
"Well, I have had my ring a couple months longer. That's why I came along for the ride. To help teach Lisa here about being a Lantern."
"I see. With you being more experienced, there is much you can teach."
"Well, maybe a little. And I also know that because you're the leader, you can teach her things that I can't seeing as how my ring works somewhat differently than yours."
"I believe you are right."
"I'll tell you what," Lisa said. "Before I decide anything, I'll try a practice run with this ring. See how I do in combat with it. As you said earlier, Eddie, combine these powers with my martial arts and I could maybe do like you said. Take names, kick ass."
"And seeing as I have more experience here, no offense, Anna."
"None taken."
"I'll be your opponent, Lisa. I'll run you through what I know. You stick to what you know and combine it with what I teach you and I just might get a challenge here."
"Come then," Aga'Po said. "You may spar in the courtyard."
And then Eddie's ring began to beep, meaning he was getting Elsa's call. "You ladies go on ahead. Looks like I'm getting a call here. I'll meet up with you in a minute."
Down in the courtyard Anna and Lisa had made their way down there and Lisa pulled the ring from her pocket.
"Ok. Let's see what this is like," Lisa said and slid the ring onto her right hand's middle finger.
No sooner after she did, the ring began to glow and pink light passed over her body, creating a suit for her. As it faded, she now wore a pink leather jumpsuit, with the Star Sapphire insignia on the chest, as well as sparkling pink flats.
"Wow. I think I like this suit. No, I love this suit," Lisa said admiring herself.
Making his way over to the courtyard, Eddie was conversating with Elsa over his ring. "And she says the Guardians may have something to do with it?"
"Yes. But I don't think it would be any of them that are on the council. Possibly a renegade is what I'm thinking."
"A renegade, huh? Well, I doubt it would be Ganthet. His intentions for power are pure as is his heart. So, there's no way it would be him."
"No, of course not. But do you think there are any other renegades out in the universe?"
"Could be. May have to ask the Guardians about it though. Who knows what it is they haven't told us."
"This is getting very suspicious, Eddie. I hope for all our sakes they really have an answer to this and have a solution."
"That makes two of us. When the time is right, I say we consult them about it. Agreed?"
"Agreed."
"Now then, I'm gonna teach Lisa what I can about all this Lantern stuff. She decided that she'd try it out firsthand before she decides to keep her ring or not. By the way, did Tyler make a decision yet?"
"Uh-huh. He finally chose to accept it. Iroque knew he still felt guilty and convinced him to wear the ring to make amends for his past misdeeds."
"I had a good feeling he would. All right, I'm off to spar with Lisa now. Hopefully her martial arts don't whoop me too badly."
Elsa giggled lightly. "Good luck."
"Thanks. Meet up with you later."
Eddie then flew from the balcony and down into the courtyard, where Lisa stood waiting.
"What do you think?" Lisa asked gesturing to her suit.
"You look great. I had a feeling you'd look something like this. You've always been a girl big on fashion after all."
"That's right I have. Now it's time to see what this Lantern stuff is like."
"Before we begin, I'll explain a couple things to you," Eddie said and pointed his ring in another direction. He then lit it up and created a bunch of blue energy particles. "Now the simplest thing about these rings is that they allow you to turn your thought into reality. Using their energies, you can create almost anything you see in your mind. Just have to focus and think hard. For example." Eddie turned the energy particles into a 7-foot Christmas tree.
"That's pretty cool," Lisa said with a smile.
"Now you try," Eddie said dissolving his construct.
"Okay," Lisa said and then used her ring to create a bunch of energy particles as well.
"Focus. Picture something, anything in your mind and make that thought reality."
Lisa focused on all her thoughts and formed those particles into a blow-dryer.
"A blow-dryer?" Eddie said.
"It was the first thing that came to mind," Lisa replied and dissolved her construct.
"Well, it's a start. You'll get it as you go along. Let's try some combat, shall we?"
"Yes. But if I'm gonna try out some martial arts with this, I'd better take my shoes off," Lisa said pulling off her flats. "Don't wanna cause any injuries. And when I'm in combat I like my opponents to give it their all. So, don't you hold anything back."
Eddie smirked. "I don't plan to. Ready?"
Lisa nodded. "Let's go."
The two began with both of them zooming at one another and once they made contact, Lisa grabbed hold of Eddie's arm and judo threw him with a yell.
"Good to know I haven't lost my touch," Lisa said looming over him.
"Maybe not, but we've only just started," Eddie replied and blasted her upwards with his ring and into the sky.
"I see you've learned quite a bit about fighting as well, since you've gotten that ring."
"You better believe I have."
Eddie then zoomed upwards to the sky, where Lisa karate kicked him in his gut and sent him flying back a way, but Eddie quickly shot a lasso that wrapped around her right ankle, and he reeled her in.
"Let's go for a little spin." Eddie said spinning her repeatedly.
"Oh, I think I'm gonna hurl," Lisa said as Eddie finally let her loose, sending her flying upwards and he zoomed at her again.
Once he came in contact, Eddie had blasted her back down with his ring, sending her to the ground and leaving a crater.
Lisa quickly got back up and looked to Eddie. "Is that all you've got?" She flew back up towards Eddie and he attempted to throw several punches, but being skilled in martial arts, Lisa had blocked each one and then blasted him back with her ring.
Eddie recovered quickly and flew at her and shot a blast, which she'd dodged and then hit him with a side kick to the face.
Lisa then constructed a bo staff and twirled it numerous times before flying towards Eddie with it.
Eddie quickly countered this move by constructing a hockey stick and blocked a hit from her staff.
This clash continued on with Lisa doing various moves with her staff and Eddie barely being able to block.
After a minute Lisa had knocked Eddie's stick from his hands and then attempted to throw another kick, only for Eddie to grab her foot and keep her back. And then he grabbed hold of her ankle and tossed her aside.
Eddie then flew towards Lisa to continue to fight, but Lisa had quickly flown at him and did a roundhouse kick to him right under his chin and sent him crashing down into the crater she had previously made.
The human Blue Lantern got up and massaged his chin. "Wow. That girl really does kick ass, even in a practice run." He looked back up towards Lisa and flew at her while constructing a mace.
Lisa flew at Eddie as well constructing a shield and blocked Eddie's attack then kicked him in the gut once more, sending him flying back. "Still know how to play frisbee, Eddie?" Lisa said constructing a large disc shaped weapon and threw it like a frisbee at him.
As it came towards him, Eddie quickly dodged and caught it. "Why yes, I do." He then threw it back at Lisa, who'd blasted it and destroyed it.
"Ok, let's try this," Lisa said and constructed a katana. "During college I also took fencing. Learned of ways to use a sword."
Eddie had constructed a katana of his own. "En garde."
They flew at one another once more and began to clash swords repeatedly.
Both of them began to swordfight, throwing and blocking one another's attacks.
After pushing one another back, Eddie got what he knew was a dumb idea. He constructed a boombox, which began to play Santa Esmerelda's 'Don't let me be Misunderstood.'
Lisa couldn't help but chuckle. "Really?"
"Oh, come on you know I love 'Kill Bill.'"
Lisa rolled her eyes with a grin as the music continued and she and Eddie continued to swordfight.
From the terrace of the palace both Anna and Queen Aga'Po watched the battle from the sidelines.
"She truly is impressive," Aga'Po said in surprise. "Not only does she have tremendous love in her heart, but she is quickly getting used to the powers of the Star Sapphire ring.
"Seeing as Eddie has had his ring longer, I'm amazed she's matching him this way. Seems she really is good at fighting, with or without the ring," Anna stated.
As both Lisa and Eddie continued sparring, they both crossed swords and stared at one another.
"Wow. This is great exercise," Lisa said panting slightly. "How do you do all this?"
"Just gotta have energy to burn. And believe me, I've got plenty when it comes to all this."
Eddie and Lisa, both pushed each other back once more, but before they could make another move, Eddie was blasted to the ground with a red blast.
"Eddie!" Lisa exclaimed and she, along with Anna and Aga'Po all looked up to see the trio of Red Lanterns, allied with several dozen Manhunters descending from the skies.
"Red Lanterns and Manhunters?" Aga'Po said in shock.
"Looks like they're looking for trouble. And for a fight," Anna said.
"Then we shall give them one!" Aga'Po exclaimed and she and Anna both flew from the terrace.
"Kill them all!" Bleez exclaimed and the Manhunters flew ahead shooting laser blasts from their cannons at the human Blue Lantern and the three Star Sapphires.
Lisa made her way back to the ground floor to retrieve her shoes, before flying back up beside Anna to join the fight.
Eddie quickly recovered and looked to the 5 Manhunters headed in his direction. "Looks like these red goons and their buckets of scrap want payback. Bring it on." He said and quickly constructed a buzzsaw and sliced the Manhunters to pieces. "Scrap metal!" Eddie yelled before he was hit with another red blast that knocked him into the wall.
The human Blue Lantern looked to see Skallox landing on the ground and walking towards him.
"Die blue human," Skallox said and shot red energy from his mouth at Eddie.
Eddie quickly constructed a brick wall in front of him. "Looks like a fourth and more deranged member of the billy goats gruff. No matter."
Skallox stopped firing red energy from his mouth and Eddie dissolved the brick wall, then constructed a battering ram and knocked him back with it.
The goat-like alien quickly recovered and glared towards Eddie, who flew up to his level.
Eddie then constructed a matador cape. "Toro, Toro!" He waved his cape.
Skallox glared angrily and charged at Eddie, attempting to ram him with his thick and hard head.
Before he reached however, Eddie pulled away at last second, and made Skallox ram into a brick wall instead.
"Ole!" Eddie yelled.
Fighting against Veon in another area, Anna held her own well against the one-eyed blue alien.
The Red Lantern shot several red blasts at the Star Sapphire princess, who managed to either dodge or block them. And then she retaliated by flying towards Veon and punching him in his big eye.
Veon yelled aloud in pain. "My eye! Foolish human!" He yelled and then Anna blasted him away with her ring.
"Better call Elsa, because I think we're gonna need help here." Anna said and opened up her communication channel on her ring. "Elsa. Come in, Elsa."
On the planet Nok, Elsa had gotten Anna's call. "What is it, Anna?"
"Elsa, the Red Lanterns are attacking!"
"On Zamaron?"
"Yes! We need your guys' help here."
"Okay, we'll head over there now."
"Please hurry!"
The snow queen turned towards Tyler and Kristoff. "Anna and the others are under attack by the Red Lanterns. We need to head over there now."
"If I were you, Elsa, I would stop worrying about my friends and sister and worry about myself."
The trio looked to see Hans hovering above them.
"Hans!" Tyler exclaimed.
"So, you've ditched red and changed colors, traitor," Hans said.
"Unlike you and all the other Red Lanterns I made the right choice and gave up that kind of life of hurting people. I'm done with the Red Lanterns and I'm never going back."
"And that, human, is why you shall now pay the consequences for casting off the ring."
Tyler looked behind and saw Atrocitus and Zox surrounding them.
"The only one who's gonna pay, Atrocitus, is you for coming back into my life and threatening me and my friends!" Tyler yelled and shot a blast from his ring at Atrocitus, who countered with a blast of his own.
The next thing Elsa knew, she'd had a red lasso wrapped around her waist and suddenly found herself yanked towards Hans, whilst Zox had blasted Kristoff away with his ring.
And then Manhunters started to descend to the planet as well, forcing the rest of the Indigo Tribe to take action.
While unwillingly being yanked towards the Red Lantern prince, Elsa had shot a blast at Hans from her ring, sending him flying back.
He quickly recovered and flew towards Elsa with a sword construct and swung it, letting loose red energy blasts.
Elsa put a shield up, but the blasts of energy quickly destroyed it and blasted her back.
Hans tried to take advantage of this and finish her off, but Elsa had quickly recovered and slapped him away with a giant hand construct. Afterwards she flew at him once more and punched him across the face several times, before he caught her hand and then slapped her away.
Tyler and Atrocitus continued their power struggle, and Tyler finally managed to overpower Atrocitus' blast, only for Atrocitus to block him with a shield.
"It's payback time for using me as a pawn in your twisted game, Atrocitus." Tyler said and created a mace.
"Wrong. It's time to die for betraying the Red Lantern Corps, "Atrocitus responded and constructed a battle axe.
The two Lanterns flew towards one another and clashed with their weapons.
"You will regret ever casting off your ring, Tyler. Nobody leaves the Red Lanterns and lives to fight against me."
"We'll see about that," Tyler said and kicked his former leader back with an iron boot construct on his right leg. "For too long I let you and the Red Lanterns mess with my head. You got into my mind, made me think hatred was the way and very nearly made me throw away all that was important to me."
"Hatred burned deep within you. I could have given you power beyond your deepest desires, had you fully embraced your hate. But in the end, you betrayed all we stood for, ruined everything I set out to accomplish. And for that you must pay dearly."
"I also very nearly killed the love of my life because of you, and for that it's you who will pay."
Atrocitus growled in anger and shot red energy from his mouth at Tyler, who quickly constructed a shield to block his attack.
As soon as Atrocitus gave up on his red energy blast, he flew at Tyler and struck him overhead with a large mallet, sending the human crashing into the ground.
As the dust settled in the crater Tyler left in the ground, he stood back up but as he did, Atrocitus grasped him by his neck, then punched him across the face and sent him whizzing through the air once more.
Fighting higher above the surface of the planet, Elsa avoided several energy blasts from Hans.
The Red Lantern prince, who was getting fed up as it was constructed a sword and flew at Elsa attempting to strike her down, only for the snow queen to barely avoid his attack and then quickly blasted him far back with her ring.
"Elsa, where are you?" Anna's voice came through Elsa's ring once more. "I thought you were on your way over."
"We were, but we're having difficulties with the Red Lanterns here too." Elsa responded. "I'm currently going toe to toe with Hans. Sorry to tell you Anna but I think you're gonna have to make do without us."
"Oh, great, these Red Lanterns are relentless. All right, we'll handle best we can. Good luck on your end."
"Thanks, you guys too."
"Over and out."
Elsa looked to see Hans making his way back to her with a battle axe construct and he prepared to bring it down on her, only for Elsa to quickly block it with a shield.
Back on Zamaron, the queen and her castle guards fought off the army of oncoming Manhunters, whilst the trio of human Lanterns dealt with Atrocitus' lackeys.
Lisa went up against Bleez, who had tried backhanding the new member of the Star Sapphires, but Lisa countered her by twisting her wrist and delivered a roundhouse kick to her face, then blasted her away into one of the massive boulders.
"Very nice," Eddie complimented.
"Thank you," she said with gratitude.
Eddie looked behind to see Skallox flying towards him. "Looks like the billy-goat is coming back for more."
"So is the black winged angel," Lisa said seeing Bleez recover, as she and Eddie were back-to-back.
"I have an idea. Take my hands!" Eddie said to his friend.
Lisa quickly did as he said and grabbed hold of his hands, after which Eddie spun her in a circle.
Knowing what Eddie had planned, Lisa kicked Skallox back, and did the same with Bleez once she was in reach. Afterwards, Eddie thew Lisa towards Bleez, allowing Lisa to kick the winged woman upwards, whilst Eddie had zoomed towards Skallox constructing a football helmet and shoulder pads onto himself and rammed the goat-like alien into his chest and send him crashing into the palace walls.
"Had enough, mutant goat?" Eddie said hovering above Skallox.
Skallox however stood back up and snarled angrily at the Blue Lantern and shot a blast from his ring at him, sending Eddie flying upwards.
Shortly after he did, Skallox flew up towards him and punched him hard across the face and sent him flying again, only downwards this time and crashing to the ground.
Eddie got back up and spat out a bit of blood and looked back up to see Skallox coming back down towards him. Thinking quickly, Eddie constructed a long barrel cannon and fired a shot at Skallox, blasting him from the sky sending him falling down to the ground.
With Anna and Veon, the blue one-eyed Red Lantern had gotten Anna in a headlock and began to crush her head.
Anna groaned and struggled to get out of his grasp. "Get...off...of...me!" Anna yelled aloud and unleashed a burst of pink energy from her body, blasting Veon off of her. Once she was free, Anna turned towards Veon and constructed a round shot cannon and shot a blast at him and sent him crashing down.
Above the rest of them, Lisa continued her fight with Bleez, both the female Lanterns shooting one blast after another at each other.
Lisa attempted to do a front kick at the winged woman, only for her to dodge and blast Lisa with red energy from her mouth and sent the human girl crashing down.
Fortunately, Eddie managed to catch her before she hit the ground.
Anna then zoomed past them both and shot several pink gems from her ring at Bleez, who countered by destroying them with a wave of red energy with her ring.
"I'll leave her to you ladies, I'm gonna go help out the Star Sapphires with the Manhunters. You fine with that?" Eddie asked.
"We got this. Right?" Lisa turned towards Anna.
"Oh, yeah. We'll show her what teamwork is about," Anna responded.
Eddie nodded and flew off to help fend off the Manhunters.
Anna and Lisa both then flew up towards Bleez, who had constructed a mace in her hand and flew towards the two human Star Sapphires.
Anna then quickly constructed a war hammer and clashed with Bleez as she was bringing her weapon down.
Taking advantage of this, Lisa quickly blasted Bleez back with an energy blast from her ring, after which Anna had flown towards her and punched the winged woman upwards.
Anna then zoomed upwards and knocked Bleez back down with a massive mallet and then hit her with it, knocking her downwards and sent her crashing into the boulder for a second time.
Bleez quickly recovered and looked to the two human Star Sapphires with an angry glare. She flew towards them and shot a blast from her ring, which hit Anna right on the spot, and knocked her to the ground.
Anna!" Lisa exclaimed and looked towards Bleez with an angry scowl. "Nobody does that to my friend!" She yelled and flew towards Bleez, then gave her a karate kick to the chest, knocking her back. Afterwards Lisa zoomed towards the Red Lantern and punched her numerous times across the face, before she finally blasted her downwards with her ring and sent her crashing to the ground.
Bleez got back up once again and looked towards Lisa with an angry glare. She attempted to fly back up towards her to keep fighting, but before she could take flight, Anna crept behind her and hit her hard with a shovel construct, knocking her out cold.
"Nice moves," Anna said to Lisa and dissolved her construct.
"Thank you," Lisa said landing near her, and then looked to the three unconscious Red Lanterns. "Well, that's all three of them."
"You did great out there," Eddie said landing by them as well. "Gotta admit, girls, that was really impressive you two double taking that woman there. You really showed her who's boss there, Lisa."
"Girl power," Lisa replied with a small smile.
Eddie looked up to the skies and saw the Star Sapphires finish off what was left of the Manhunters. "Looks like that problem is taken care of."
The three Red Lanterns recovered and saw their army of Manhunters was defeated.
"No. This cannot be!" Bleez exclaimed.
"Oh, it be. Your army is defeated. It's just you three against all of us," Eddie said as Anna and Lisa stepped up next to him, and several Star Sapphires landed as well and surrounded them.
"This isn't over!" Bleez yelled and they all took to the skies, leaving the Star Sapphire planet.
Some of the soldiers aimed their rings, but Aga'Po had stopped them. "Let them go. The battle is won. We need not concern ourselves any longer with them."
"We may have won, but I'm not so sure about Elsa, Tyler and Kristoff," Lisa said.
"Oh, that's right!" Eddie said in disbelief. "I got so focused here, that I forgot they were under attack, too."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's head over and help them."
"All of us though?" Eddie said looking towards Lisa. "So, have you made a decision yet?"
Lisa looked down towards her ring. "After seeing how thrilling this whole stuff is with these powers, I'm kind of amazed and want to see what comes next. So, yeah, I think I'll keep it."
"All right, then let's go," Eddie said and turned to the queen. "And thank you, Queen Aga'Po for everything you've done for us."
"Of course. We the Star Sapphires of Zamaron are always happy to accept those with great love in their hearts."
With that said, the trio of human Lanterns all took to the skies and made their way to the Indigo Tribe planet.
On planet Nok, the battle between the other three Red Lanterns raged on.
Tyler and Atrocitus were both locked in battle as Tyler delivered punches and kicks to his former leader, until Atrocitus grasped his leg and threw him upwards, then hit him with a blast of red energy from his mouth and sent him crashing into a tree.
Tyler recovered quickly and flew at Atrocitus with a baseball bat construct.
"Batter up!" Tyler yelled and swung his bat.
Atrocitus however constructed a sword and slashed his bat in half, then swung it at his former lackey.
Tyler managed to evade Atrocitus' attack and constructed a chainsaw, which he'd used to destroy his sword. But before he could make another move, Atrocitus shot a blast from his ring at Tyler, knocking him to the ground.
With Hans and Elsa, the prince of the Southern Isles powered up his ring and shot a blast at Elsa, who'd constructed a wall to block his attack, but it was quickly destroyed at the might of the red energy and blasted Elsa to the ground as well.
Kristoff had been in a firefight with Zilius Zox, the Indigo Tribe member taking cover behind a boulder and drawing Zox's fire.
"Yield, pathetic human. Yield!" Zox exclaimed and shot a powerful energy blast at the rock, destroying it and sent Kristoff falling to the ground, weakened and helpless.
"Yes, finally you and your allies shall feel the wrath of the Red Lantern's might. Finish them off!" Atrocitus ordered.
"With pleasure," Hans said and constructed a crossbow and aimed right at Elsa.
Zox shot a lasso that wrapped around Kristoff's body, and then he readied it to have the red energy burn him painfully to death.
Atrocitus began to charge up red energy in his mouth to finish Tyler off once and for all.
Hans smirked evilly and prepared to finish Elsa, but as he was about to take the shot, a blue throwing star construct slashed his left arm, causing him to scowl in pain and held his arm, dissolving the crossbow. He looked forward and saw Eddie and looked angrily to him.
Zox prepared to finish off Kristoff, but before he could do so, he looked left and saw Anna flying towards him and she quickly punched him away, dissolving the lasso around Kristoff.
Atrocitus prepared to let loose his energy blast from his mouth to kill Tyler, but a pink blast hit him right in the chest, blasting him back.
Eddie, Anna and Lisa all went over to help their loved ones to their feet.
"Are you okay?" Eddie asked Elsa.
"I am now that you're here," Elsa responded with a smile of gratitude.
"You good for nothing idiot. I finally had her right where I wanted her, and you go and mess me up!" Hans exclaimed angrily.
"If you think I'm just gonna let you kill my girl, think again," Eddie said and he and Elsa flew up, engaging in battle with Hans.
"Thanks for the save, Anna," Kristoff said as Anna helped him up. "Another second later and I'd have been a goner."
"Yeah. I'm just glad I got to you when I did. But looks like our rounded friend hasn't had enough."
"Then let's show him that love conquers all."
"Right!"
Anna and Kristoff both flew towards Zox.
Lisa went over to Tyler and patted his cheek. "Tyler, are you okay, baby?"
Tyler started to regain consciousness and looked to his wife in her Star Sapphire uniform, and he wolf whistled. "Wow, looking good there, babe."
"Oh, stop it you're making me blush," Lisa said with her face turning red. She then looked to see Atrocitus about to fire another blast from his ring. "Look out!" She exclaimed and pushed Tyler out of the way, then got blasted to the ground.
"Lisa!" Tyler exclaimed and then he turned and glared daggers at Atrocitus. "You dare?!" He then zoomed towards Atrocitus and sucker punched him in the jaw, sending him falling to the ground. "That's my wife, you asshole!"
With Eddie and Elsa fighting against Hans, the Red Lantern prince fired a blast from his ring at Eddie, who blocked it with a shield, then threw it like a frisbee at Hans, hitting him across the head.
Elsa took advantage of this and quickly kicked Hans in the chest and sent him flying back.
Eddie then reeled him back in with a lasso construct then punched him away again with a giant boxing glove.
Hans hit the ground floor and fell unconscious from that last attack.
"We sure showed him," Eddie said as Elsa planted a small kiss on his cheek.
Anna and Kristoff continued their fight against Zox.
Kristoff flew at Zox and whacked him away with his staff.
The rounded alien went whizzing through the air towards Anna.
"I remember seeing a sport on TV that I really liked the other day," Anna said to herself and constructed a giant tennis racket. "My serve." She said and hit Zox with her racket, sending him flying back towards Kristoff.
"Now that looks like fun," Kristoff said constructing a giant tennis racket as well and he used it to whack Zox upwards. After he did so, both he and Anna flew up past Zox. Once they were a good distance above him, the princess and the mountain man both charged up their rings and shot a combined blast at Zox, blasting him into the ground, and making a giant crater where he fell.
The rounded Red Lantern looked up to them in a daze and attempted to get back up but ended up falling unconscious.
Tyler evaded energy blasts from Atrocitus, then returned fire and blasted him back.
Atrocitus recovered and glared angrily at Tyler, then he constructed and started swinging around a large, spiked flail.
"Whoa!" Tyler exclaimed and dodged Atrocitus swinging his weapon.
Lisa slowly began to recover and gasped upon seeing her husband in the danger he was in. She quickly got back up and constructed a sword, then flew at Atrocitus. She had managed to evade his attacks easier, thanks to being skilled in martial arts, and she had managed to cut the chain on Atrocitus' weapon, destroying it.
Atrocitus glared angrily at her and attempted to throw a punch at her, but Lisa was able to catch his fist and then she delivered a roundhouse kick to his jaw. After she did so, Lisa then blasted Atrocitus far back with her ring.
Atrocitus went flying towards Elsa, who flew forward and constructed a cannon, then blasted him away with a cannonball.
Wanting to join in on this, Anna flew towards Atrocitus and delivered several kicks and punches to him, and then finally she constructed a giant war hammer and hit him hard with it, sending him falling towards a recovering Hans.
Hans stood up and saw Atrocitus falling right in his direction. "Oh, no. Not again." Hans said worriedly as Atrocitus crashed down on him once more, earning laughter from the 6 human Lanterns.
"Oh, my god!" Eddie said through his laughter. "That's just too funny."
"I know, right," Elsa said. "Something about him always falling on Hans is just so satisfying."
Atrocitus slowly started to awake, and Hans attempted to push him off.
"Would you get off me?!" Hans exclaimed muffled.
Atrocitus looked upwards to see his army of Manhunters destroyed. "No, impossible."
"Oh, it's quite possible, Atrocitus," Tyler said as the human Lanterns all gathered around him, Hans and Zox. "You lose again. When will you learn that evil never triumphs?"
"Your army is gone. We beat your Red Lantern lackeys, and we beat you," Lisa said.
"You pitiful humans may have won the fight, but I shall have my revenge on you all someday!" Atrocitus yelled and used his ring to open a portal, which he went through.
"Master, wait for me!" Zox exclaimed and followed him through it.
"Don't forget me," Hans said following suit.
"When they're outnumbered, they're exposed as the cowards they are," Eddie said.
"You said it," Lisa replied. "And I think I now get why you guys do this all the time. Although it can be really dangerous, especially against enemies like the Red Lanterns, it's also really thrilling."
"Yeah, but I think I've had enough thrills for one day," Eddie said.
"That makes two of us," Elsa agreed. "Come on. Let's go home."
No one needed to be told twice as the 6 human Lanterns all took to the skies and Eddie opened a wormhole in space for them to go back to Earth.
And that'll be it for here. This is no doubt the longest chapter I've ever written. Originally, I intended to also have them celebrate their first Christmas together in this chapter as well, but these battles with the red lanterns took longer than I thought it would, and I guess I was just on a role with it, because I didn't expect it to go on this long. Anyhow, next chapter will be a shorter one of them celebrating Christmas. Until then, please read, review and enjoy.
