"KILOWOG:" "Ardakian Trawl, do you realize you got patrol?" "Oh, and I thought I was coming 500 million light-years to give you a sponge bath, Kilowog." "Knock it off, you poozer." "How much longer?" "I'm in your star system, so quit flaring your nostrils." "My God." "[GRUNTS]" "[ARDAKIAN GRUNTING]" "[ARDAKIAN SCREAMING]" "KILOWOG:" "Ardakian, you there?" "Ardakian?" "What happened?" "Ardakian!" "[PANTING]" "Where is it?" "[RING PULSES]" "Hey." "[GRUNTING]" "GANTHET:" "Needless to say, we're all shocked and saddened by the news of Ardakian Trawl." "She was a bold and gallant Green Lantern whose achievements will long be remembered." "But for now, we must set aside our mourning for the threat at hand." "[PANTING]" "Glad you could make it." "Sorry." "We know from her ring that Ardakian's murderers were Shadow Demons." "Soulless creatures from the Antimatter Universe." "We haven't seen them since the great crisis." "They came from a rift in our sun, a rift that connected directly to their universe." "We take it this was no mere anomaly." "No." "We were able to make a detailed analysis through the ring." "There's no mistake." "The demons were sent by Krona." "[LANTERNS MURMURING]" "GUARDIAN:" "Most of you know Krona's story how he defied authority and created the Antimatter Universe billions of years ago." "He nearly annihilated all of creation." "As punishment he was turned into disembodied energy and cast throughout the cosmos." "We thought him gone but it seems he has reconstituted himself in the Antimatter realm bringing the Shadow Demons under his control." "We sense this is just the beginning that Krona means to use our sun, the very center of the universe as a portal to attack us." "We have sent a squadron of Lanterns to the sun to begin monitoring." "They'll be setting up observation platforms to conserve energy." "Meanwhile, all important documents and artifacts will be moved from Oa to the Broome-Kane star cluster for safekeeping." "We'll need everyone to keep a close watch on the sun while we evacuate." "LANTERN:" "Evacuate?" "[LANTERNS MURMURING]" "We have already removed the Book of Oa, our most sacred text." "Next will be the library." "KILOWOG:" "You gotta be kidding." "Excuse me, Ganthet, but these precautions do seem rather extraordinary." "Krona was a tyrant with insatiable aggression, Sinestro." "He vowed to destroy Oa, and we take that threat seriously." "We suggest you charge your rings immediately for the Central Battery will be removed as well." "Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, Green Lantern's light" "LANTERNS:" "In brightest day, in blackest night" "No evil shall escape my sight" "[GRUNTS]" "Let those who worship..." "Sorry, kid." "Usually I like to mentor recruits for more than a couple of hours before they face Armageddon." "It is kind of overwhelming." "[GRUNTING]" " Are you all right?" " Yeah." "Sure." "It's just that, well, three days ago I was sitting in class trying to figure out a physics problem and then this." "Yeah, that's the way it is." "The thing is, why me?" "I'm just a student." "A nobody, really." "I'm sure Avra felt the same way." " Who?" " The first Green Lantern." "It's one of the first stories you learn." "I guess we got a little sidetracked." "To quote scripture:" "The first one given a ring was not the first Lantern." "The first was Avra." "HAL:" "The Book of Oa, first chapter, first verse." "Long ago, before our stars had ignited long ago, when life was new and the universe was in its infancy..." "[SHIPS WHOOSHING] ...before order there was chaos." "[EXPLOSIONS]" "Chaos outbalanced creation hate outbalanced fellowship and all life suffered." "The Guardians saw it all." "The evil was too great to be left unchecked." "And so they gathered the light." "They knew of its variety and strength and the light with the most power." "But they sought their answer in the light of will to form from it a weapon unequalled to turn armies to sand." "Will, given substance forming." "The greatest warriors of the universe were gathered." "Four would be chosen." "The first four." "An event to be recorded and remembered." "And the Guardian said to the assembly:" "GANTHET:" "Stand tall, warriors." "If we are to be Guardians, you are to be our strength." "If you are to be our strength, these shall be your arms." "[PULSING]" "HAL:" "But then, the unexpected." "They called it an accident." "Accident is only the will of the universe expressing itself." "And it was the universe's will that the fourth Lantern be Avra a mere scribe chronicler to the Guardians." "And so it would be for all time, the rings would choose their successors." "The Guardians had armed the first four, and sought to train them." "Though no training could prepare them for what would come when training gave way to duty." "[EXPLOSIONS] [GRUNTS]" "A plague had savaged the universe." "The Guardians dispatched the first four to stop its advance." "Ready or not." "[AVRA GRUNTS]" "WACHET:" "Your first battle?" "Just do what I do." "And try to stay alive." "Are these really enough to stand against all that?" "WACHET:" "The Guardians say they'll protect us." "AVRA:" "But they're just rings." "And before getting yours you were just a scribe." "Use your imagination." "[GRUNTS]" "[GRUNTS]" "HAL:" "It was too much for them." "For anyone." "[GRUNTING]" "[GROANING]" "WACHET:" "These rings are useless." "We might as well be wearing trinkets." "What do we do?" "We have only two options:" "Retreat or death." "There is no victory here." "WACHET:" "Retreat it is, then." "Go." "I'll cover your escape." "HAL:" "And the first Lantern saw and would not run." "AVRA:" "Wait." "The Guardians forged these rings from will." "Will can do more than pave our retreat." "Will is the first cause behind any action." "We must will our survival." "You're commended for your faith in the Guardians, Avra but this is a failed endeavor." "You'll die." "So be it." "I choose to believe in the Guardians." "This is battle, Avra." "It's real." "It's not one of your books where you can invent the outcome." "He's dead." "[EXPLOSIONS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[GROANING]" "AVRA:" "The Guardians forged these rings from will." "We must will our survival." "[YELLS]" "WACHET:" "By the stars." "HAL:" "He held his first construct." "No longer a scribe now a warrior." "The first Lantern." "[GRUNTING]" "[GROANS]" "[GRUNTS]" "HAL:" "This was the beginning." "In time, the first of the rings would be passed on while a hundred more were forged and then thousands." "All would be taught as the first Lantern had learned." "A new path to victory." "A use for the ring that even the Guardians had not predicted." "In time, old Lanterns would fall their rings given to the new, to learn as they did." "Even Avra would fall his ring given to one who would be taught his lessons and would one day teach them." "What was once a unique innovation became the way for all." "The way of will." "Know then, when you shape the light of your ring you walk in the footsteps of the first Lantern." "Believe me, they each have quite a history." "HAL:" "In brightest day..." " Come on, missy." "It ain't a wedding ring." "HAL:" "Let those who worship evil's might..." " Right, sorry." "Green Lantern's light" "In brightest day, in blackest night No evil shall escape my sight" " She the new one?" " Arisia meet Kilowog, our kindly drill instructor." "Hello." " First combat?" " Yes."

"DEEGAN:" "I can't hear you!" "No, sir!" "Poozers are what I call useless, stupid, stinking rookies like Brilowog over here." " Kilowog, sir." "Did you just say something, Brilobutt?" "No, sir." "Sorry, sir." "You're whoever I say you are!" " Understood?" " Yes, sir." "I can't hear you!" "Yes, sir!" "DEEGAN:" "What was that ring call I caught you making?" " You crying home to mommy and daddy?" " No, sir!" "The call was to my wife, sir!" "She's pregnant and I..." "Did I ask for a medical report?"

"You're damn right!" "DEEGAN:" "Welcome to hell, boys and girls." "Here's where I weed out those who belong in my corps and those who don't." "First thing, I'll be taking your rings."

"But getting old in my corps is a privilege." "We die so innocents don't." "It's that simple." "Once you put on the ring, the life you lived stops being your own." "[BEEPING]" "SALAAK:" "Deegan, this is Salaak." " Yes, sir." "We have a priority one emergency." "The Khundians have attacked Chiraka's capitol."

" The Khundians, they're retreating." "It's over." "Yeah?" "What about the ones who are still down?" "I got a hunch when they wake up, they might be a little cranky." "We better collect them." "No kidding." "Come on, guys." "Get a move on." "Yes, sir." "Poozers." "So he's not a scary as he looks?" "No, you'll survive Kilowog." "It only took me about three or four fights." "Just watch out for his left." "Any news?" "There've been a couple more rifts, five Demons." "Nothing major." "We have all our sensors skimming the surface."

"It will not bend to reason or pity or suffering." "Only to force, as always." "That was strange." "Laira's unusual." "She hasn't been around long but next to Sinestro, I don't know another Lantern I'd rather have at my side." " She's that good?" " She's had to be." "About a year ago, the Guardians sent her to the planet Jayd." "It was her first solo mission." "But more than that, it was her homecoming." "REE'YU:" "The prodigal daughter returns."

"Never did get to fix the arm." "We started concentrating on making a warrior out of you instead." "Instilling discipline." "Making you face your fears." "What has happened to Jayd, Father?" "KENTOR:" "Jayd is safe." "At what expense?" "Only the blood of our enemies." "But you attack without provocation." "I have a life's worth of provocation."

"You've made it an outlaw world." "All I want is peace and it can only be achieved when there is no one left to oppose us." " But the Guardians..." " The Guardians know this." "But their collective minds lack the singularity to do what must be done." "You can help me, Laira." "With the power in your grasp, no one will be able to stand in our way." "Not even your Oan masters." "No." "It's not what this ring stands for." "It's not what the Golden Dragon should stand for." "We should work to a higher calling."

"You've got a bigger fight than that coming, rookie." "Guardians are talking about this like it's doomsday." "Has Oa been cleared out?" "Not a Lantern left on it." "It's just a husk now." "What about here?" "Quiet so far." "I'm thinking of taking a closer look." "Might as well." "It's gonna get crowded in here." "All the platforms are filling up."

"ABIN SUR:" "I've never heard of him." "SINESTRO:" "Because he's been imprisoned on the planet Ysmault for over 700 years." "Last week, a ship crashed there." "Atrocitus killed its survivors, repaired the ship and fled." "He's been hunting and killing Green Lanterns since." " How many?" " Three." "How did he find any of the Green Lanterns?" "Or me?" "According to the Book of Oa Atrocitus claims he is able to talk to destiny." " There is no such thing as destiny, Abin." " Then how...?" "He locked onto your power ring's energy somehow, as he no doubt did the others." " You don't believe in destiny?" " No." "We wear destiny on our fingers, Sinestro." "[BOOMING]" "The power ring seeks out those destined to be Green Lanterns." "The power ring seeks out those who have shown the ability to overcome great fear."

"ABIN SUR:" "We were both summoned to Oa for training." "You mistook me for someone from your world." " From Korugar." " Yes." "ABIN SUR:" "But despite your mistake, we became friends." "Together, we saved your world from civil war and today, mine from Atrocitus." "Our meeting was destiny." "No, Abin." "It was luck." "As it was for this damaged ship that we came across." "ABIN SUR:" "No." "I believe in destiny." "All of this, everything we do, is a part of that destiny." "We will agree to disagree." "Are you certain you don't want my help delivering the prisoner back to Ysmault?" "No." "You have your sector to attend to, I have mine." "Then until we see one another again, my friend."

"I speak of yours." "Your death." "I told you, I do not fear death." "But it will come to you sooner than you realize." "All because your ring fails you in your most desperate hour." "Then I will remember to charge my ring often." "But it is not your death that is the tragedy." "It is beyond it." "I have seen the future of the Green Lantern Corps." "I have seen its destiny should you care to hear it." "Continue." "Let me go further in time then." "To a future when the most vile murderers and deviants in the universe will become united under one leader." "There will be a war of light that will burn the surface of Oa black." "It will leave scores of Lanterns dead." "Even the greatest of them will fall." "The green light will be extinguished and there will be left a new corps." "A corps of fear." "Sinestro." "His corps will terrorize the universe." "The Guardians will find themselves without their soldiers." "They will be overpowered and captured." "They will be skinned alive and eaten by Sinestro's followers." "Their skulls will form the base of Sinestro's throne on Oa." "His reign will cover the universe like a shroud." "Wait, where are you going?" "You almost had me, demon but you took a Green Lantern down a path his willpower would never let him go." "Sinestro may not believe in destiny, but I do." "And I know my dear friend is destined for great things." "You, however, are not." "SINESTRO:" "But Abin Sur knew a false prophet when he heard one." "Atrocitus was just another who would try to rip the corps apart." "But we're too galvanized a team and too bound in trust." "Never forget that." "But Atrocitus was right about Abin Sur." "He did die." "Everyone dies, Arisia." " Everyone gets replaced." "HAL:" "Sinestro." "The sensors picked up a tremendous spike in the readings." "A massive swelling in the dead center of the sun."
