Hey guys. This is it.
The grand finale for this story.
Let's not waste any time and get this over with.
Within the forest area, John explains everything to Bill, Moll, and every wolf else in the area.
While that's going on, Flash and Hal have a moment together along with Mebh and Robyn.
"Wow! So your some kind of speed spirit?" Mebh asked the Flash.
"Yep. Some call me the speed demon", The Flash explained, "While others call me the greatest speedster in all of the galaxy. I like to choose multiple titles for myself".
"Whoa! So cool!" Mebh remarks, nudging her arm near a confused but curious Robyn, "You hear that. He's the fastest guy in space".
"Yeah, so I heard", Robyn remarked, "Awfully lots of people with huge egos here".
"You know", Hal began, "I never expect you to tag along on this rescue mission".
"Hey, can't leave a pal hanging", The Flash replied, "By the way, this is a secret between you and me, but I'm not hugely fond of wearing old century tights".
"This is…hard to take in", Robyn said, "I-I never expect any of this to happen".
"Well life can be a shocker, can it?" Mebh responded to her, "It's all about adapting and going with the flow".
"This is different, Mebh", Robyn replied, "I never thought of meeting outer-worldly people like them".
"Come on, you being too much of a scary wolf that whimpering too much".
"I am not whimpering. I'm just not fully comprehending everything right about now".
"Well that's understandable", Hal told her, hearing their conversation, "I mean, I wasn't adjusting well with my new found responsibility".
"And I wasn't prepared to be a speedster that happens to lose their rental home", Flash added, "And also my job".
After the explanation is done and Moll and Bill were given enough time to fully adjust with everything they heard, they move forward on how to handle the situation at hand here.
"It's astonishing how Cromwell managed to survive that", Bill remarked, "I could've sworn after I bit him and witnessed his fall, he wouldn't come out alive".
"Maybe the 'lord will' give him a second chance", Moll sarcastically suggested.
"Or maybe the guy has dumb stamina", Guy added, "Who knows. I meant players who survive far worse and come out fully intact. Of course, that doesn't stop from me getting sue".
"You three, we need to focus here", John told them, "We need to figure out Sinestro's next move, as well as getting Hal ring back".
"I heard Cromwell mentioning using his new found weapon to take over a city", Martian Manhunter mentioned, "No doubt coming to his realization of the parliament's intention to do with him".
"Wait, parliament?" Bill asked, "You're saying Cromwell is planning on taking over it?"
"Yeah, pretty much", John replied.
"I see", Bill scoffs, "Can't believe he's still alive. After what happened, I'm determined to take him down and end his quest".
"So do I and everyone else", Moll told him, trying to assure him, "But right now, we need to think. Heading straight to London, straight to Cromwell may lead to dire consequences. I'm….also concerned for our daughters and the wolves".
Bill quickly understood what she meant. As much as the anger and hate stem from Cromwell, he knows greatly that his daughter's life is important.
"Now listen, I ain't suggesting it", Guy asked, "But if we simply barge in there. He's pretty much outmatch".
"Jeez, never thought you put your hard headed aside for once and suggest that", John remark, sarcastically.
"Actually, this may actually work", Martian said, "If we could simply buy him sometime, it'll allow his power to drain down a little and we can snatch the ring out of his hand A bit risky, but there really isn't much choice".
"But what about this….Sinestro you mention?" Moll asked him, "I'm not certain of the context behind that man, but do you think there's a chance he may have gotten to him first? What if Cromwell didn't make it to London?"
"Good point", Martian responded, "Any possibility could matter, but right now we'll just have to take it as it is, as stupid as it may sound".
"Hey, see John", Guy told John, "Nothing wrong in combing brawns and brain".
"I see", Moll said, "I'll tell our daughters about this".
"You don't have to bring them along", John told her, "In fact, me and the others could handle it on our own".
"That's not necessary", Moll explained, "We promise Hal that we'll help him. Sure, me and Bill were a bit hesitant to help out strangers, but after listening to your story it's enough to become our problem as well".
London has been infested with a green cloud of smoke, spreading across the street.
This wasn't any plague the people have consumed, but rather a strange toxic mist that could be mistaken as dark magic to them.
Everyone was running, screaming, scratching on their face and walls, some even began harming others, perceiving them as monsters or such.
Those who weren't infected try to leave the city area, others who were can only bare it through.
It's enough to make one be fearful, but that's not the case with one.
At the parliament upper platform where the windows reside, the Scarecrow watches gleefully, writing notes down on his journal and remarking, "Look at them screaming. Terror fills their eyes as they cannot comprehend their surroundings. Yes, people from this time are quite fascinating".
"This is just tedious", Captain Cold remarked, as most of the rogues sat in the middle with their pile of golds and riches, waiting for further plans and mainly filling up their times playing cards, "We should've been celebrating our success, not becoming another lackey for some nutjob".
As this was going on, Cromwell sat on his throne while Charles the second was tied up next to him by the Lord Protector ring magic.
He too is awaiting for Sinestro's next action. They are now fully aware Hal and the others are likely heading in their area so they must come prepared.
Cromwell was fully confident in himself that nothing will harm him, now that he has a lantern by his side to refuel his ring.
"Look, I'm not happy as you are", Mirror Master said to Captain Cold, "Hell, I'm a little disappointed about it but what can we do? Besides, Sinestro has fought them before and managed to beat some of them. I don't see why he couldn't do it again"
"If he had his pals with him", Captain Cold replied, "I wouldn't be so worried".
"Nonetheless, let's be fortunate I manage to collect all these old fools' fortunes and gather them in a neat pile", Mirror Master said, "I'm thinking of building a hut out of this".
"When the lanterns arrive", Bane suggests, "I want to be the one to break Guy back".
"Why? Got bored breaking the Bats?" Cold asked.
"Simply put. I like to expand my interest", Bane responded, "I heard Guy is getting stronger for the past few months. Both physically and mentally".
"We're back!" The sound of the Trickster and Clayface return from their shopping spree, as they hold a sack of items they bought.
"I always wanted to take a stroll near one of their theaters",Clayface said.
"Yeah, the toy gimmick they have is great", Trickster said, holding out a duck toy with squirting ability, "Who knew these things could be sophisticated".
As Mirror Master rolled his eye, the former king asked Cromwell in a demanding tone, "This is maddening. What are you going to do after everything is over? Take over the entire world?"
"You've forgotten my intention", Cromwell explains, "I am planning on wiping out all those who defy the great lord protector! No one will fear my new rulership! My first act is to dissolve this parliament again, then I'll be hunting down every single oppressor and traitors. After that, I'll make sure this entire country, no! This entire world knows the existence of my power".
"You cannot do this!" The king yelled.
"Oh, yes I can because I was given the right to wield this power by the gods", Cromwell states, as he gets up and faces him closely, "And no doubt they'll be pleased with my result!"
"That's enough gloating in his face, Cromwell", Sinestro finally arrives, descending from the shatter sky, "We need to focus more on the matter at hand here".
"Right, understood", Cromwell replied, glancing away from the king, "So when will they begin their assault?"
"Not sure", Sinestro explained, "I can expect they might figure a way to sneak into the city and ambush us without any of us expecting it. Either that or just straight up barge in with a surprise attack".
"I see", Cromwell then asked, "Should we strike them before they swiftly get to us?"
"Not necessary. Let them move forward whatever idea they have in store. I've already thought up an idea on trapping them", Sinestro replied, "Just make sure nothing happens and that our agreement is worth something".
"Do not worry. If I can crush any rebellion in my path, then surely I can get rid of them as well. After all, I am a military strategist. My mind is capable of thinking up the most possible outcome to date, thanks to the additional help of my ring".
Flying across inside a green jet constructed by Guy himself.
The cockpit is mainly made up of Guy, John, Moll, and Bill while the rest of the backspace are seated with Martian Manhunter, Flash, the wolves, Hal, Robyn, and Mebh.
"As you guys can see", Guy explain to the 17th century newcomers, "This right here is the cockpit. Main control panel that piloted everything, which handsome guys like me can navigate with".
"You really don't need to charm me", Moll told him.
"I know. Just thought I give you guys a neat preview on the future", Guy replied, "Well, your guys future anyways".
"Still, this is fascinating", Bill remarked, touching the wall, "I never seen anything like this. Would be nice to learn more of your boys' technology".
"I can give you guys a guidebook".
"Guy", John said sternly.
"Come on, it's not affecting our timeline here".
At the back of the Jet, Flash is struggling to move around while being seated due to the tight buckle, sending this complaint to Martian Manhunter as he is petting a wolf, "Remind me to not ask Guy for a ride".
Robyn is tempted to ask Hal a question, compared to Mebh who seemingly hogged over the scene.
Mebh took notice, "See you haven't talked much".
"Oh, knock it off", Robyn replied, "I'm just a bit nervous".
"Nervous about our new friends?"
"No, more like we are heading to our death", Robyn said, "I'm surprised you're enjoying this".
"Hey, getting caught up in weird business with these guys is no problem for me", Mebh begins nudging her arm at Robyn, "Come on, talk to one of them. You don't wanna lose this opportunity, do you?"
Robyn is a bit hesitant, but eventually she decided to speak with one of them, particularly Hal.
"Hey, ummm….Hal", Robyn began, "How are ya?"
"Hmm?" Hal replied, "Oh, doing alright. Just hoping I get my ring back".
"Right", Robyn then asked, "So umm…what's it like being in space?"
"Space?"
"Yeah, I know this is not an appropriate time to ask,since we are off going into battle".
"It's fine", Hal explained, "It's how I imagine space to be. Weird, mysterious, and a bit dangerous".
"Were you scared about it?"
"Eh, a little bit. I wasn't screaming from the top of my lungs", Hal replied, "More so, I was kinda curious about everything. Being in a new world with new people is something to admire, but adjust with".
"So you aren't bothered by everything?"
"Not a long shot. It's easy to accept things new to you, even if it's outside your bubble".
"I see", Robyn remarks, being quite pleased by his saying and more curious, she then ask him, "Then can you tell me about your story? Like, how did you get the ring and…ummm, did you encounter any giant and dragons?"
Hal smiled, deciding to take the time to tell some of his more fantastical tales, "Heh, you bet I encountered something like that before. I was once a test pilot back then. Had ambition to become one, but it wasn't an easy start".
"Wait, what's a test pilot?"
"Just a guy riding inside a coin machine, rocketship or a plane".
"Oh…..I don't know what those are".
"Nevermind. Back to my story, I became a Green Lantern after the previous one, Abin Sur crash landed and handed the ring to me. Basically, passing the mantle".
"Intriguing", Robyn then asked, "And about Abin Sur?"
"He died. I later bury him".
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear".
"Yeah, you should probably say that to my former mentor", Hal replied, "Sinestro".
"Wait, Sinestro was your friend?"
"More like it, yeah. He can be a bit of a jerk sometime, but I know he's always have my back, before things started to heat up".
"So why did he became evil? Was he consume by power?"
"Not really", Hal continue, "He take things like justice a bit too much".
"Sort of like the Lord Protector in a way".
"Sort of like that", Hal chuckle alongside Robyn.
"You really went through a lot, didn't you?" Robyn asked.
"Trust me, you don't know the half of it", "Hal said, enjoying his company with the kid, "By the way, about those adventures I went through".
Back at the parliament, the villains await for an upcoming attack having been aware of the likelihood of their being an assault.
"This is boring", Trickster said, laying his head on the table and tinkering with a standing card, "Why are we doing this again?"
"We are waiting for a surprise attack", Captain Cold told him, "Those ring wielder idiots better be right about this plan".
"Relax", Mirror Master replied, "If things get spicey, we can book it".
"Sssshhh quiet it", Trickster told him, "They are still in the room you know".
The boredom of waiting soon came to an abrupt end, as a green jet suddenly crashed into the room from the ceiling, sending debris falling and the rogues running away from the sight of it.
"Dang it, Guy!" John yells at Guy, "Was that really necessary?!"
"Hey, I didn't guarantee how I was gonna pull it off".
Soon the green jet disappeared as everyone stood on the centerpiece of the parliament room, ready to fight against their enemies.
"Alright, guys!" Flash said, "Shows over!"
"Flash", Mirror Master remarked, "What a pleasant surprise. A bit late to the party I may say".
Flash took notice of Mirror Master, Captain Cold, and the Trickster, "Oh boy, knew I shouldn't be too gone from my city".
"Hey flashy guy", Mebh asked him, "You know those dorks?"
"Yeah, they are a special kind of dorks. One of them is literally "smoke and mirrors".
"Hey, I take offense to that!" Trickster shouted.
"I wasn't talking to you!"
"Doesn't matter how you came here", John demanded, aiming his ring at them, "Where's Sinestro?!"
"And Lord Protector, Cromwell!" Bill aimed his crossbow at them as well.
"Oh, I think you should be asking, why's the ground brown and mushy?" Mirror Master retort.
Then all of a sudden, the floor they stood on distorted as it erupted with claws coming from the ground, absorbing the startle and sudden look of the cast, forming the clay matter into a ball prison with everyone's head and some of their body parts exposed.
The rest of the rogues reveal themselves, laughing with Sinestro and Cromwell appearing behind the throne, pushing the throne off by the push of a yellow construct.
"Grrr, what is this sticky thing?" Mebh asked, struggling to get out and proceeding to bite on it, "Taste awful by the way".
"Clay", Flash replied, "Perfect summary on the guy, though".
"Ah, welcome Green Lantern and your heroic sidekick buddies", Sinestro said, "I hope you don't mind us cutting in this period. It's truly remarkable how easily stupid Earth people were back then….eh, no offense".
"I'll tolerate it", Cromwell replied.
"Sinestro!" Hal shouted, "Give the ring back! Now!"
"And why should I?" Sinestro asked, gesturing to a grinning Cromwell, "After all, the lord did select a worthy host to wield this magic weapon".
"Yes", Cromwell then approaches Bill Goodfellow along with his family, "And if it isn't the Goodfellow's. How pitiful of you to come here in my new domain"
"Your new domain?" Bill lashes out, "You've been subjugating everyone to follow your blinded rules! I feel nothing, but ashamed to think you have any authority! And be afraid of you!"
"Silence!" Cromwell shouts, constructing a torch and placing it near his face, as Robyn gasps by it, "You have always disappointed me. I will ensure that no one like you ever disobeys my right to rule over you all. That goes to everyone! From here on out!"
Cromwell turns and heads on top of the throne. Sitting on the throne is the lantern as he begins to speak, "I will turn this nation into a proud, puritan, militaristic force for the world to see! No one will defy me! No one! Starting with all of you and your pesty, loonatics of foes!"
"Jeez, guy is both delusional and hot headed at the same time", Flash remarked to Mebh, who nodded in agreement.
"Once I execute the king, you will be next", Cromwell states, "All of you will be burned to the stake in front of everyone! And no one will show fear".
"And you just gonna go along with it?" John asked Sinestro.
"Please", Sinestro told him, "It doesn't matter what happens to this Earth, just as long as you boys are permanently gone in my history book".
"Before we execute them", Scarecrow asked, "I like to inject a few of my drugs in one of them. Particularly the women here".
He uses his needle hands to touch near Moll's face, causing Mebh to start barking at him violently.
"Mommy!" Mebh shouted, "Don't you dare touch her!"
"Oh, you're so screwed", Flash told him.
Unknown to anyone in the room, Flash begins to vibrate himself slowly until eventually he manages to move so fast it bursts the clay ball into pieces, freeing the hero's.
"What the?" Scarecrow and everyone else were in shock and confused. Before he could react, Mebh tackle him to the ground, causing him to scream, "AAAHHH! NO! GET HER OFF! GET HER OFF!"
"They're free!" Trickster pointed, "What are we going to do?"
"Blasted," Cromwell shouted, "Attack!"
Clayface soon reformatted himself back to his hulking figure, forming both his hands into axes and roaring at them.
He then charges at them, swinging his blade at them until Guy creates a force field dome, protecting everyone including a bruised and unconscious Scarecrow.
"Watch out!" Guy said, "Gardner here to save the day!"
"Really wish I had my ring right now", Hal remarked.
"Your okay, kid?" Flash asked, as he and everyone else look concern but Mebh seem unfazed as she bitting the Scarecrow mask, until she decided to spit it out.
"Boy, that tasted a little better".
Bane turns up the dial, increasing his strength, making himself as bulkier as the Hulk.
"Let me handle this", Bane suggested, as he ram at their shield, joining Clayface, until Guy decided to had enough and just punch them away with a giant green fist, sending them flying against the wall.
Captain Cold uses his freeze gun, Mirror Master uses his mirror gun, and Trickster uses his toy gun to aim at the hero's.
Clayface and Bane return to the battle, as a fight ensues between each other.
"Girls! Move!" Bill quickly grabbed the two girls and hid them behind some wooden cabinets.
"Hey! What do you think your doing?" Mebh demanded.
"I can't let you two be out in the battle field", Bill replied, "So stay undercover".
As Bill resume back to the fight, Mebh ignore his request and responded, "Yeah, I'm not doing that. If I'm brought here to fight, then I'm fighting".
It wasn't convincing enough, as Mebh jumped out of there and head into the battle without Robyn stopping her.
Clayface enlarges his fist and tries to strike Bill and the Flash.
"Okay, hunter specialist", Flash speak to him, dodging every blow from Clayface, "Ever dealt with something like this before?"
"No. Closest to it would be a bear".
"Yeah, figure as much".
Flash, taking notice of Captain Cold behind him and Clayface in front of him, deduces a clever idea.
"You ain't gonna distract me with your words, Flashy", Captain Cold said.
Cold shoots his freeze particles at Flash, as he ran through Clayface, sliding under him and with a sudden look the Clayface gets frozen in a block of ice.
"Heh, wonder if Batman ever did this before?" Flash remark.
Mirror Master, being behind him, aims his mirror gun at him but suddenly gets ambushed by Mebh, biting on his mask and clinging onto his head.
Flash takes notice and tries to run up and save her.
As he did that, Cold accidentally shot at Mirror Master, freezing him instead.
"Idiot!" Mirror Master mutters.
"Oops, sorry", Cold apologize.
Cutting elsewhere, Trickster is using every trick in his book to defend himself from the wolves.
One wolf lunges at him, he uses a anti-wolf spray to take him down.
Second wolf tried the same, he pulled out a peanut can which popped to reveal a garden snake toy that hit him.
Third wolf catches him by surprise from the back, but he disappears in a puff of smoke, knocking him out.
"HA! Nothing can beat my brilliant gadgets!" The Trickster proclaim.
As Trickster confidently laughs at the wolf's defeat, he gets a tap on the shoulder.
Turning around, Moll punched him in the face, knocking him out cold, "Ow!"
Bane uses both his fists to smash at the Green Lanterns. Everytime John and Guy use restraint, he manages to shatter them into pieces.
The wolves were no help as everytime they jumped on him he easily grabbed and tossed them away like no problem.
Bill uses his crossbow in an attempt to take him, but besides a few ones that stick, nothing stops Bane as he barges at him, quickly dodging him as he crashes through some chairs.
"Jesus", Bill remarked to John and Guy, "How do you handle this beast?"
"You should be asking that to a bat", Guy jokingly replied.
Bane huffs as he turns, readying to do it again.
Robyn, who was hiding underneath the cabinets, poke out and see what transpired.
Seeing the urgency of it all, she uses her crossbow to aim and shoot at one of the green tubes that are filling behind his back.
Aiming it concisely, she manages to break it causing Bane to take notice and panic a bit, until he's knocked down by Guy Gardner fist.
This leaves Cold as the last one standing as he tries to stop the Flash.
"Hold still!" Cold shouted, "Otherwise, I might go hard on ya!"
Flash, without a second to lose, ran toward him so fast he snatches his freeze gun and applies it back at Cold, freezing him until his head is the only thing left exposed.
All of their rogues were defeated, except for one.
Sinestro, by a quick shot of a yellow arrow that he constructed, aim and fire all of them, which got their attention, as they quickly hid behind the broken chairs and desk and duck.
"Angel! I order you to get rid of these sinners!" Cromwell shouted.
"You're seriously not gonna listen to this sociopath, are you?" Hal asked.
"Honestly, I'm kinda used to this sort of thing", Sinestro replied, jokingly.
As soon as he said that, Sinestro transformed himself into a yellow beast with the head of a serpent. The back filled with two turrets. Sharp wings and breathing out a golden, sparkling flame.
With one breath, flames spurred out of its mouth. The flames soon turn into chains and snakes, grappling and restraining everyone.
Everyone struggles, everyone tries to fight against these constructs, but eventually they submit to Sinestro's will and quickly subdue.
Sinestro laughed, "Guess all it takes to submit to my will is a single dose of harsh reality. In other words, my power!"
Just then, without his notice, an arrow is shot that scratches his suit near the shoulder.
He turns and notices Robyn, who quickly hid behind the cabinet.
"Robyn!" Bill call out.
Hal took this opportunity to manage slipping his arm out and punches Sinestro, allowing the construct to quickly disperse.
There wasn't enough time to figure out another construct as Sinestro is getting punched in the face more than once.
Brutally slamming and fisting, Sinestro is quickly knock out unconscious, leaving Cromwell the last man standing.
"No…no, no, no, no!" Cromwell back away, "This can't be happening!"
"Looks like your plan just got blown up in your face", Flash tauntingly asked, "What are you gonna do about it?"
"Speed demon", Cromwell turns around and sees a lantern. He quickly grab it, "I'll cut off their legs and force you to kneel on your bloody stumps!"
"Oh yeah! Well your….fat!" Flash retorted, disappointed Mebh as she found that comeback embarrassing, "What?"
Cromwell shoves his hand into the lantern, desperately to gain more power.
"He's gonna overcharge his ring!" John pointed, "We gotta stop him!"
"Ummm, anyone wondering how he's doing that without needing to chant?" Guy pointed out.
Hal and the other lanterns try to stop him, grabbing him and pulling him, but it was too late.
A mighty burst sends everyone back as the lantern shatters into pieces.
It was huge enough to knock Guy out, which coincidentally knocked the ring out of his finger.
Cromwell appears before them. He is fully immersed within the green, appearing in a silhouette form.
He stares at his hand, noticing its change.
At first it was confused and even a little startled, but once he realized the feeling of power his doubt disappeared and soon became pride as he stared down at Hal.
"Well, look at me right now", Cromwell said, "I've finally reach my purest form yet".
He creates a sword, readying to slay down the helpless Hal Jordan, "Die you fowl sin! For the ring mine and mine only!"
Before he does that Robyn quickly enters the scene and shielded him.
"Step aside you blasted girl!" Cromwell shouted, "Or else I'll slay you with him!"
"I'm not gonna let you harm him or anyone else!" Robyn stated.
"Tch, very well then", Cromwell said, "Then die with them!"
"No! Leave her alone!" Bill shouted, before being push back and struck by Cromwell laser beam, much to Moll and Mebh shock.
Including Robyn.
As the Lord Protector resumes back to slaying her and Hal, and Robyn makes her stand against Cromwell she notices Cromwell's expression.
From the extreme wrath ready to befell on her to confusion.
She turned to see what it was and finally saw it.
The ring was floating, but it's merely hovering below the ground. It almost seems like the object is staring at her, seemingly taking a special curiosity until eventually the ring moves.
Swirling around her as the ring quickly put itself within her finger.
The transformation begins, unfolded in front of everyone in the room.
The green flares burst from the centerpiece light. It swirls around it, slowly merging within the pure light until finally it shatters, revealing the figure behind the source.
Robyn. She is stunned by her appearance. Adorning herself in green and black matchings, wearing a green cape with a hood.
She wears a green mask on her eyes as her pupils share the same power as her entire entity, based on the ring itself as she stares at it.
"What in god's name?" Cromwell remarks in astonishment, including the rest in the room.
Confused but soon coming to her senses as Cromwell quickly uses his sword to try slicing her in half.
She dodge, and did it again as Cromwell tried and failed to kill the girl in an angry fit.
There wasn't enough effort to maintain a conscious awareness. The girl who he saw as the downfall of his reign filled him with fur.
Robyn eventually uses her ring to create a crossbow, shooting dozens of arrows which hit Cromwell.
Then she leapt in the air and fell.
Falling with a giant tree with dozens of metal hammers on it as she slammed it onto him.
The impact caused the structure to rubble for a bit, until Cromwell burst out of the contraption and constructed a giant gun, aiming at Robyn.
She quickly transforms into a wolf form as she quickly dodge from every shot.
Everyone was looking in bewilderment, but most of all Hal.
With one swift movement, she knocked the gun out, dispersing it.
Now the green but emitting golden, flowering strains of energy surrounding the wolf form stood growling at Cromwell position.
"Bloody girl", Cromwell mutters.
A stare off ensues with both wondering the same thing. Who will make the first move and who will strike first, ensuring the final blow to thus conflict.
Cromwell, without hesitation, shoots out dozens of cannon balls lit with flames at her.
"Robyn!" Both Bill and Mebh shouted.
Robyn shielded herself from the ongoing attack.
Cromwell flew up in the ceiling and keep on firing, shouting, "You'll never win, girl! Never! This land will fall upon those who will rid the lord's wills!"
"Then…go meet with it!"
With one mighty howl, it shatters the cannon balls, but also creates large, spitting green flames that shoot out of her mouth and shoot directly at a shock Cromwell, sending him crashing through the ceiling and through the sky, never to be seen again.
The ring that was formerly Cromwell fell on the ground.
The wolf and green form soon disperse, as Robyn collapses on the ground unconscious.
Bill manage to catch her in time, with everyone coming to her.
Meanwhile, Sinestro slowly gotten up and unexpectedly, disappear in a cloud of dark purple and black smoke, which the other lanterns notice and were confuse.
"Robyn…..Robyn…..wake up!"
Robyn awoke, finding herself laying underneath a tree on top of a hill as Mebh bounce around in excitement, seemingly relief she's alright.
"Woohoo! Yay! Your alive!" Mebh hug her, as Robyn remain a bit stunned by what just happen.
"Wha…what happened?"
"What happened?!" Mebh explained, "You wouldn't believe what just happen. You became a Green Lantern, fought that lousy Lord Protector buttocks, became a wolf without going to sleep and then..and then!"
"And then what?"
"Nothing", Mebh calmed down for a moment, "Just wanna mess with ya".
"I see", Robyn said, "Where's-?"
"My mom and your dad? There off doing the usual hunting and gathering thing. Anyways, long story short, everyone says their goodbye, which is a big disappointment for me because I really want to know more about them. By the way, Flash guy gave me one of his merch things and for you, Hal gave you his coat".
Robyn notices it, but she's wearing Hal's coat. As for Mebh, she's holding a Flash action figure, playing it around and remarking, "Heh, neat right?"
"Uhhh yeah….yeah", She responded, still pondering what just happened as she lay there, looking up in the sky in a calming tone.
As much as everything has happened, she's just relief everything is finally over with.
"By the way", Mebh asked her, "I don't want to come off as rude or anything, but….can I have your coat?"
Ganthet stood looking out the window in silence. Standing within the towers of OA.
After the incident with the Wolfwalkers and Cromwell, John report everything about their adventure in that world and manage to found a way back through a riff portal.
It became a talking point of discussion, but one Guardian stood out from the rest.
As he stares aimlessly in the massive depth of the galaxy, Hal enters the room, "Hey, You want to see me?"
"Hal", Ganthet began, "I'm glad you came. I been meaning to ask you about your encounter with the Wolfwalkers".
"Yeah, it got crazy over there. Who knew Cromwell would be this insane".
"Hal, id you feel something strange about the little girl?"
"You mean Robyn Goodfellowe", Hal replied, "To be frank, I didn't expect the ring to go to her. I was half expecting to go to me, really, since I do wield it".
"Neither do I or any of the council for that matter", Ganthet explained, "I feel….at fault for not mentioning this to any of you".
"What do you mean?"
Ganthet sighs to himself, turning slowly to face him, "Hal, there are things that are…..much greater out there that you and I may take for granted. We save many lives, encounter many apocalyptic events, witness the birth of new lanterns across the galaxy. And yet, I know that while this may seem quite small for an event to be easily brushed off as a mere one off thing, I fear its importance may soon come later in the foreseeable future".
"I don't understand", Hal asked, "What are you trying to say here?".
"It's cryptic for me to spell it out to you or anyone else", Ganthet continued, "It may seem….hard to comprehend, but Hal…I want you and the others to be prepared for the next few years".
"Be prepared? For what? A war?"
"Not just any war, Hal. A war that may change everything".
Sinestro lay in the darkness, slowly opening his eyes and regaining consciousness.
As he stood up, he heard a voice referring to him, "Ah, you're awake. Good. I was worried you would've die from that pathetic state of yours".
"And who's speaking to me?" Sinestro asked.
"Why, your savior of course", the figure soon reveals himself to him as he step out of the darkness. He wore red robes, a hood and seem to be cover entirely in wrappings, "Do you really think I'll simply save you for free. No, I've been observing you and I am quite impressed by your reputation".
"At least there's a few who admire my work", Sinestro asked, "Just who are you, exactly?"
"My name….is Mumm-ra. The ever! Living!"
The End!
Yeah, a fic I started way back then is now completed.
Sorry for the long wait. I've been pretty busy around 2022 to 2024. Lots of stuff has happened to me, but I can be certain I manage them all pretty fine….besides my compulsiveness, procrastination and existential dread of the future, but I'm totally cool right now.
I hope those that stick around are satisfied…..or not. Yeah, I'll admit the ending felt kinda rushed, but I had to do it, since again I'm a busy guy. And if anyone is wondering about the ending, that will be a lead way to another fic.
Yes, you heard folks. This fic is part of a connected universe. A universe filled with wonder and terror.
If anyone is curious, I recommend reading the next story, Dororo: Eye of Thundera. This isn't me promoting the fic, but basically giving you guys a recommendation to see a continuation from the ending itself and where it leads.
Anyways, that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
