"I got plenty to be angry about." Hal muttered under his breath, remembering that Aku had personally killed Carol right in front of him mere hours ago.

"Hal Jordan. There is a vengance in your heart. Tap into your rage, and unleash your anger!" A red power battery appeared in front of the Green, Blue, and Orange-clad Lantern.

"With Blood and rage of crimson red, we fill men's souls with darkest dread, and twist your minds to pain and hate, we'll burn you all - that is your fate!" Hal snarled as another color was added to his arsenal.

Atrocitus appeared and spat a corrosive construct blood onto Aku's face.

"We both know that's not the oath, Jordan." He snarled.

"At least this one doesn't sound like a fourteen-year-old on the internet trying to compensate for something by being overly edgy." Hal shot back.

Atrocitus grunted as he and the other lanterns started to fly around Aku and started to deal some minor damage.

"You said it to me, so I'll say it to you." Hal said, floating in front of the Dark Master's face, "You can surrender now, or later. But I'd recommend now." Hal stressed, "There's no need for others to get hurt any more than they already have."

"NEVER!" Aku swatted at him, sending him a ways away.

"So much for that." Hal muttered, but he also noticed a glow of a purple-ish color from where Indigo-1 had fallen.

It shot up, and stopped as an orb in front of him.

"I think I know how this goes by this point." hal smirked, "Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur, Natromo faan tornek wot ur. Ter Lantern ker lo Abin Sur, Taan lek lek nok-Formorrow Sur!"

Indigo was added to Hal's already large arsenal of colors to choose from. Though, he noticed that every time he added a color, the power had to be divided even more by his other lanterns. Any more, and he'd have to charge up, again.

"I can't believe that you actually memorized our oath's complex language."

"Complex by your standards, Indigo." Hal shot back, "Now I gotta reunite with an old flame."

Indigo nodded, "I'll keep him busy. You focus on trying to bring her back."

"Right." Hal nodded. The red on his suit and ring grew a bit brighter as he recalled how Aku had simply killed her without remorse. The resulting passion in his heart flared as a lantern of the Star Sapphire corps appeared in front of him. He placed his ring hand towards the charge port, and recited the oath.

"For hearts long lost and full of fright, for those alone in blackest night, accept our ring and join our fight, Love conquers all with violet light!"

Carol appeared in a flash of aforementioned violet light, giving Hal a quick peck on the cheek before flying off to blast Aku with her violet energy.

Hal just stood there, touching the cheek that Carol had kissed, and smiling. "Love you too, Carol. Now, how to use Sinestro's - WOAH!"

Hal was cut off by the Yellow energy of the power battery suddenly appearing in front of him.

"What the, how-"

"Hal Jordan. You have inspired fear into a being of darkness with your tenacity. Recite the oath and cause even more fear to fill the thing that the creature calls a heart."

Hal nodded, "Oh, the guardians are probably going to kill me for this, but…" He took a deep breath, "In blackest day, in brightest night; beware your fears made into light; let those that try to stop what's right; burn like his power, Sinestro's might!"

A flash of yellow appeared and the leader of the Sinestro Corps also came out of the light, "I hate to say it Hal, but if we're being perfectly honest with ourselves, I always suspected that if anyone were to be able to combine the other corps into one ring and body, it would've probably be the first lantern of Earth."

"Whatever, we got this!" Hal raised his fist up as the other Lantern apparitions appeared behind him, "You ready guys?"

"Not quite." Carol struggled to stay visible.

"What's going-"

"The ring cannot contain this many powers at once. We need to modify the power somehow!" Larfleeze realized.

"So much more intelligent without greed clouding his mind." Sinestro muttered, "But he's right. We need to, what is this?"

The power batteries all started to spin in a circle. They started to accelerate even faster.

"GRAH!" Aku tried to strike at Hal, only to be deflected by a beam of light energy, "WHAT?"

The Lanterns stopped spinning. Mostly because there was now only one lantern left, and it was constantly changing it's stripped colors.

"A rainbow lantern?" Carol offered.

"I think we need to make an oath." Saint Walker suggested.

"I got this." Hal smirked one more time, "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet!" He recited as if by instinct, "This is the power of Lantern Corps united!"

The others also joined in, almost as if there was an instinctive force giving them the lines to the oath as a whole.

"WHEN THOSE THAT TRY TO WRONG THOSE THAT DO RIGHT; YOU WON'T ESCAPE OUR JUSTICE…"

Aku was completely blinded by the new power. The one that now had a new name.

"RAINBOW LANTERN'S LIGHT!"

Red Skull's and Joker's armies were fighting it out to the bitter end.

"Now, my army! To make Net City Great Again!" He declared from the safety of his Hydra tank.

"Alright boys, let's get wild!" Joker called from his own vehicle, the Jokermobile.

"Why are we trying to stop these guys?" Jaune asked, slashing at a Xenomorph, "The way I see it, if they wipe each other out, that's a good thing. Right?"

"Not that simple." Chief replied, shooting down one predalien with his energy pistol, "If one of them wins, they get all the weapons and vehicles that the other one has. And since both of them have a nuke, that would spell trouble for everyone."

"How did they even get nukes in the first place?" Tails questioned.

"They built them." Doomguy grunted after being thrown down by another one of Red Skull's Cyber-Minions, "Got their hands on some radioactive material and just turned them into nuclear bombs."

"How?"

"They must've gotten them from our archer's quivers or the Predator's tech." Mega Man said, shooting his Metal Blades and decapitating a few Xenomorphs.

"So, it's Green Arrow and Hawkeye's fault?" Jaune asked.

"No." Sonya and Orchid replied simultaneously, one of them kicking the head of a Hydra soldier into another's head.

"Seriously, were you reading a comic book while we were doing the debriefing on the way here?"

"No!"

"He actually wasn't." Tucker defended, "He was busy crying over a picture of his girlfriend that he has on his phone."

"There are other people who lost more than you." Master Chief pointed out, "Also, two Klicks to Joker and Skull's battleground."

"Guts definitely lost more than you." Doomguy pointed out, "How someone on the internet thought that you had the worse life than him is beyond me, but whatever."

"Guts has not had a 'worse life' than mine!" Jaune whined.

"How so?" Chief asked, putting his binoculars away.

"His girlfriend's still alive." Jaune said, as if it proved his point.

Everyone else was silent. Even one Predator facepalmed at the statement.

"Starting to see why Guts said that nobody would miss you." Tucker sighed, "You make pain be all about yourself, and don't let anyone else mourn.

"Please." Mega Man sighed, "Please tell me that you're making a joke that's in poor taste and that you don't actually believe that."

"Uh, it… kinda is…" Jaune trailed off.

"Oh my God." Tucker snarled, "You actually think that?"

"Well, I don't know his life!" Jaune defended.

"His girlfriend was violated!" Sonya screamed, "I swear, if you actually think that dying is a worse fate than that, then I'm throwing you out there to get killed!"

"See, this is why nobody likes you." Doomguy pointed out, "You don't care about anybody but yourself, and put more people in danger than you actually save."

"The only thing worse than baggage is baggage that whines and complains all the time." Master Chief replied, "Get your priorities straight kid. People might let failures slide if you actually try, but if you just look away from a friend about to be killed without trying to save them, then you aren't any better than the killer."

"How so?" Jaune asked, "All I hear is 'Jaune, you suck at this!' or 'Arc, you suck at that!' but I never hear any ideas of how to improve!"

"Did you ask?" Mega Man asked, deflecting some plasma blasts with his Mirror Buster.

"Well uh, no… But-"

"No buts." The Blue Bomber replied, "It's not our job to 'open the door' for you and offer advice. You have to be willing to accept it, and acknowledge that you have things to improve on!"

"Yeah, I mean, I was willing to listen to Wash when he was offering some tips on how to be a better leader back on Chorus. But you just grunt and walk away." Tucker pointed out, taking his sword out of another Hydra soldier.

"You aren't complaining that it's hard to improve," Orchid growled, "You're complaining that it's not 'magically happening' automatically."

"Beat has the area covered. We can move on to the next sector." Mega Man reported.

"You can either stay here, or keep going." Tucker said to Jaune, who was visibly shaken up, "But we're not going to be playing babysitter. I get enough of that with Caboose. Except Caboose can actually fight."

Azula was still fighting defensively against her fallen friend. It was rather… uncharacteristic of her to try to not hurt someone, but this wasn't just anyone.

It was Ty-Lee.

The only one who tried to open up to her despite all she did when they first met.

"Ty, please! You have to fight it!" Azula pleaded.

"Your friend is dead!" the possessed acrobat hissed, "It is pointless to resist for long! Soon, all will fall under Master Aku's iron fist!"

"By Agni, is that what I sounded like when I was fighting for my father?" Azula asked herself.

If she was being honest with herself, she never truly believed her father. In fact - when he had stated that friends will only ever betray you, she had prayed desperately that of all people, Ty-Lee wouldn't be the one to prove him right.

"You truly want to help your friend?" The possessed being taunted, "Then you should join her!"

Azula glared, "Like hell I'm joining another tyrant who will just discard me as soon as he gets a better job." she declared.

"So be it." 'Ty-Lee' responded, "Just know that you were given a choice to be with your 'friend'."

X: What's this? Character development for Azula from a Tyzula shipper? Yeah, let's face it, if there was anyone that Azula would consider joining the heroes for, it would be her favorite acrobat. Also, no giving me crap for how I write Jaune! This is how he basically acts in canon. Complaining that he's not as good as his friends when he friggin' cheated his way in. Ugh, I never really got how that scene is what made him relatable to people.

But I'm not here to review. I'm here to write.
