Oa
Rainbow grumbled, glaring daggers at Kilowog. Thanks to him, she was stuck in a green bubble. "I. Hate. Losing." Despite being upset, she listened closely to the large alien, hoping that he would give her the key to her escape.
"The ring can make whatever tool ya need. Just gotta picture it in your mind. Will it to life. Force fields. Energy beams." He looked at the other cadets, all of whom had their eyes on him. "Everyone see that?"
"Yes, sir!"
Rainbow smirked at him. “That would be my cue!” She pulled her foreleg back, almost as if she was going to punch the bubble. Instead, she used her ring to shoot what appeared to be a pegasus with a fiery mane and tail in a flight suit. "Freedom is sweet." She made some sunglasses and put them on, striking a pose that said 'deal with it'.
“You willed yourself free, Equestrian...” Kilowog picked up a bright yellow disc, smirking. “...now try catchin’ this.” He flung it rapidly at her.
Rainbow laughed at the thought of being beaten by that small disc. Without a second thought, she formed a pillow to intercept it. “Seriously, Kilowog, I thought you’d-”
Her eyes widened in horror as the disc easily pierced her projection. It smashed into her face, knocking her flat on her back into the mud. Everyone there laughed at this, as well as her attempts to wipe the mud off of herself.
“What the hay just happened!?” She groaned, feeling the small lump that was forming on her forehead.
“It was yellow.” She looked left to see what looked like a floating gem with tentacles talking to her. It also seemed to have a white circle instead of the standard symbol. “A Green Lantern’s ring is useless against yellow. Didn't you know that?”
“She don’t know nothin’ ‘bout the corps. She’s from Equestria.”
Rainbow had made her way to a pile of the yellow discs, picking one up in her forehooves. “That can’t be right.”
“What was that, poozer?” Kilowog stared at Rainbow, challenging her with a death glare.
She faced him, defiance burning in her eyes. “I saved a pegasus with a yellow mane. From what you told me, I couldn’t have done that.” She held the disc up, frowning at it. “Besides, why would our rings be useless against anything yellow?”
Kilowog grabbed the disc from Rainbow, crushing it in the same motion. “You don’t ask questions in the Corps. You do your duty.”
“And what duty is that? You haven’t told me anything about that!” She flew up to his eye level, as if she was daring him to do something about her tone.
“‘To serve and protect your respective sectors and all life within them.’” He shook his head, growling a bit. “And don’t get all puffy chested again. Next time I won’t be so nice.” He balled his fist up even tighter, crushing the remains of the disc into a yellow powder.
"Bring it, Kilohog!” She sneered a bit, still very much in his face. Her wings flared out behind her, showing just how eager she was to fight.
“Kilowog.” Rainbow turned to the source of the voice, finding herself looking at the weirdest alien she had seen so far. Where she came up to Kilowog’s waist, she reached this...what is that, a furless pink pony with a short black mane? One that only stood on its hind legs? Whatever it was, she reached the middle of its chest. “I’d like to talk with this...what is she, a pony?”
Kilowog stared hard at him, frowning deeply. "What business is she of yours, Rayner?"
Rainbow looked between the two, greatly confused. "Who are you?"
The alien with the black mane turned to her, putting on a semi-forced smile. "My name is Kyle Rayner. I'm supposed to bring you to the Guardians. It seems they have someone who is going to be training you, as well as staying on your planet."
Rainbow took this time to get a better look at this alien. He - she assumed it was a ‘he’ from the voice - had a mask that looked different from the one she had. It made him look cool. Almost cooler than her...
Nope, I'm not gonna let that happen! If this ring can create this uniform, then it can change it as well, right? She focused on her costume, imagining how she wanted it to look. Slowly, the familiar green flame started to move across her body, causing her suit and mask to change. Her mask mimicked Rayner's almost perfectly, adjusted enough to fit her face properly. As for her suit, the white parts on her forelegs condensed into a white bolt of lightning, encircling her hooves. Similar markings appeared on her hind legs, and the green around her body shifted to her underbelly, jagged markings forming the border between the green and black. She looked down at her new uniform, smiling giddily. For all intents and purposes, it looked exactly like a Wonderbolts outfit.
Kyle gave an approving nod. "I like it. The mask is not very creative, though I appreciate the simple design. However, the colors could use some switching around."
"Ya didn't answer me, Rayner." Kilowog looked close to harming Kyle. "Why do ya need ta speak with this poozer? The Guardians wouldn't send for her without a good reason!" He jerked a thumb in Rainbow’s direction.
Kyle held up an emerald ring, a look of sadness etched on his face. "She is now the only Green Lantern of Sector 3492. In fact..." He sighed, facing Rainbow. "...her planet is now the only one in that sector with sapient life."
Kilowog bowed his head, silent for the first time since Rainbow got here.
I was looking up more info on the Green Lanterns. It turns out that there are about two Lanterns for each sector. Kyle and Guy are posted on Oa, so that's why there are four Lanterns from Earth.
So this means that there will be a second Green Lantern in Equestria.
Of course, everyone is free to suggest a character for this new slot. :3 I can't wait to hear what everypony has to offer!
Enigma out.~
