IOI
Will. Fear. Hope. Rage. Love. Avarice. Compassion. Life. Death.
Each of these are the power source for some of the most powerful weapons known to any race across the galaxy, wielded by those who are sworn to their own oaths to fight for what they believe. Nine separate corps, nine seperate fuels for a war that has raged across the galaxy for as long as the Guardians of Oa can remember. For eons, the corps have fought with one another, be it for the simple task of wiping one of them out or for protecting those who need protecting. And that war was raging once again.
In the farthest reaches of space, in an area so far from any known advanced civilization that even the Green Lanterns barely knew of it, is where this war raged now. Flashes of colors lit up the darkness of space, the unheard yells of hundreds of combatants lost to the emptiness of space as they fought for their lives. Beams of green collided with bursts of red, while the brightest blues held back the darkest of yellows. The battle had been a surprise attack, this sector having been chosen for the strike because there was thought to be no intelligent life on any of the surrounding planets. But unbeknownst to the colliding warriors, a small planet that was the third planet away from that solar system's sun did indeed house intelligent life, although without the technological advances that they had come to expect when they thought of intelligent. So, those who would die that day were unaware of the creatures on the planet that they battled over, just as the locals on the planet had no idea of the war that raged above them.
Some of the combatants had fled, their fear for their lives overcoming their will to fight. Some had already been pushed to their limits, but their will forced them to fight on despite knowing that the battle was lost. A select few had given up hope and had accepted their fate with as much peace as they could summon in the situation. But those who cried for the blood of others, those who sought only the total annihilation of their enemies, were the ones to be completely eradicated. They had been outnumbered completely, yet their rage had forced them to stay and fight until their blood ran cold in the coldness of space. The ones who had lost their hope were the next to go, though they went more peacefully than those who died with hate in their hearts. All that was left was a warrior clothed in green and a terror dressed in yellow. The warrior in green was the only one left alive among his friends and comrades, the others already fallen during the battle. The one who wore yellow was not the only one left alive, he had just been the only one who had decided to stay and fight when his cowardly brethren had fled. The one in green looked down at his hand, his eyes staring at the small ring that wrapped aroung his finger. It was barely glowing with what should have been an amazing light, telling him what he aready knew. His time was up. The yellow clad fighter was thinking similar thoughts, but he knew that if he were to die, he would not die alone. He was afraid of going into the next life by himself, but he would not go alone. The two looked from their nearly empty rings towards each other, eyes narrowing as they looked at what they knew would be their final opponent. So then, amongst all of the bodies of fallen foes and allies that would float in the coldness of space for eternity, they attacked.
The Green Lantern used all of his will to conjure a massive sky ship into space, a ship that was common on his home planet. He thrusted his ring hand forward and sent the massive ship sailing towards his foe. The Yellow Lantern smiled at his feeble attempt as he too fueled the ring with his fear, creating a monsterous sea beast that was covered in blades all along its back. He sent his yellow construct into the green ship with a flick of his finger, smiling to himself as his beast cut through the green ship. The Lantern threw himself out of the way of the incoming beast and conjured up a massive harpoon in response, taking aim and firing into the sea beast's side. He let out an unheard cheer as the beast shattered into a yellow light show, before turning back to the Yellow Lantern. The Yellow Lantern created a wicked looking sword that extended from his hand that swung in an arc that would have cut through the green suit, if the Lantern had not thrown up a shield with the Green Lantern Corps symbol in the center to intercept the attack.
The two pressed their faces close to one another, so they could each look into the eyes of their foe before they died. One saw the unbreakable will of a warrior who would stop at nothing to make sure that the Yellow Lantern would not leave the battle alive, while the other one saw the fear of dying alone, a fear that he had forsaken years ago. The two of them separated and each brought out something new with which to fight. Green Lantern constructed a multi-barrel turret that fired hundreds of blazing green bullets when he pulled the trigger, all of which homed in on the Yellow Lantern and the drill with which he had surrounded himself. The yellow drill pushed through the constant gunfire and tore right through the chaingun construct, allowing the Yellow Lantern inside to reach out with his other hand and grab the Green Lantern by the throat. He brought his hands to his throat to try and pry his foe's hand off, while the Yellow Lantern focused his fear into metalic spider legs that dug into the sides of the Green Lantern. The Lantern cried out in silent pain as the legs tore into his sides, blood beginning to seep through the suit. The Green Lantern focused what little will he had left into a spear that shot from his ring and stabbed the Yellow Lantern through the gut, forcing him to release his grip as he floated back in agony. Green used his ring to try and mend his wounds as Yellow ripped the spear out of his side, throwing it away as he looked back to his foe.
With a roar that no one could hear, the Yellow Lantern charged towards his foe as his ring constructed a massive blade for him to aim straight for the Green Lantern's heart. The Green Lantern held out his ring, which barely had any life left in it, and aimed it at the Yellow Lantern's heart as well, knowing that he only had a shot left. The Green Lantern fired his shot just as the Yellow Lantern drove his blade through the Lantern's chest, the green bolt piercing the protective shield and tearing through his heart. Neither of them moved as the power in their rings finally gave out, as both of them had died at the moment of impact. And with their wielders having both fallen, the rings slipped off their fingers and headed towards the closest civilization where they could find new wielders, which was a small planet with a land known as Equestria. The green and yellow ring were followed by blue and red as well, each of which descended through the atmosphere to the planet below.
lOl
Far below where the battle had taken place, the sun was beginning to set on a land that was believed by some to be a myth, whereas others saw it as a paradise. The inhabitants of the land were more versed in the ways of magic than the workings of technology, but still managed to build massive cities and create a society that had little need for weapons. This land was ruled by two princesses who controlled the sun and moon respectivly, but were both fair and loving rulers who governed with compassion. But if the time came, they would use their powers that could rival the gods to defend their homes and ponies. But they were not the only defenders.
The greatest champions of the ponies were those called the Elements of Harmony, those who could access the power of the six great Elements to complete the power of Harmony. Harmony was the greatest magic in the land, and when it was unleashed it had the power to defeat any foe, no matter how strong. The wielders were strongest when together, but they were a force to be reckoned with even when they were by themselves. But as strong as all of them were, the one called Twilight Sparkle was the strongest of them all. Her combination of magical knowhow and her brilliant mind were what enabled her to overcome so many of the obstacles that had been placed before her. She was a princess as well, but unlike the other two that resided in the majestic city of Canterlot, she lived in a place called Ponyville that was located beneath Canterlot. While she did not rule over the town, all of the citizens showed her the same respect that they would if she were their ruler. Well...all of them except...
"For the last time Twilight, the book store said that they were out of advanced magical practices for dummy," Spike said with a grunt as he hefted a number of bags that they had gathered from a day of shopping over his head, doing his best not to tip over as he staggered in the street under the weight. After a day of complaining that Twilight and he never spent time together, Twilight had decided to take him shopping with her. "You know, this is not what I meant when I wanted to do something together. I was thinking along the lines of bowling or maybe seeing a movie. NOT shopping for more books that I'll have to label and organize later."
"This is fun, Spike. You can have a lot of fun with books if you actually read them, instead of stacking them to get the ruby brownies that I keep on the top shelves," Twilight said with a laugh as she walked through the market place, looking over at all the book vendors with joy in her eyes. "You just hate sitting still long enough to get into a story."
"No, I can't get into a book because you have me doing an odd job every few minutes," Spike responded as he tried to keep a bag full of books from falling by staggering into a wall. The other shoppers laughed at his performance, but offered to help him once he was done staggering around. Twilight smiled and lifted a few of the bags herself, allowing Spike to sigh in relief, since he could now actually carry the bags in a straight line. "So, where are we heading to now? Hopefully it isn't someplace that carries bricks, or else I'm a goner."
"Don't worry, we're going to a place that I'm sure you'll like," Twilight said with a wink, but when Spike asked where she only smiled at him in response and ran ahead, leaving the baby dragon to chase after her. At first, he could barely see where they were heading since there were all the bags obstructing his field of vision, but when Twilight came to a stop and levitated the bags so that he could see, his face lit up as he smiled. She had taken him to Carousel Boutique, home to Rarity. In Spike's words, she was an 'angel that had fallen from heaven just so the world could know what true beauty looked like.' It had taken a few weeks before Twilight stopped quoting that every time they saw Rarity. Spike dropped the bags (much to Twilight's dismay) and ran to the door, throwing it open and running inside.
"Hey Rarity, what's going..." Spike's stopped talking when he noticed that all of her shop was completely messed up, clothes lying in piles all over and fabrics torn apart in the trash bin. Spike quickly ran through the shop looking for Rarity while Twilight walked inside with a sigh, muttering to herself how fast Rarity could get this place messy. Spike desperately searched for her, looking in closets, under beds and even in the bathroom. Twilight, however, was the one to find Rarity, who had passed out on her fancy couch that she had in case she needed to faint dramatically.
"Rarity, what's the matter this time?" Twilight asked with an eye roll as she place her shopping bags on the floor and shook Rarity's shoulder to wake her up.
"Twilight, that is no way to wake somepony like Rarity," Spike said as he pushed past Twilight and looked over Rarity with worry, holding his breath in anticipation. Her eyes fluttered twice before they opened; the sight of her awake gave Spike a reason to breath again. She gently sat up and looked around with a bit of confusion, looking at Twilight and Spike with raised eyebrows.
"Why are both of you in my house so early in the morning?" she asked them as she got to her hooves, politely declining a helpful claw from Spike. "I told you yesterday, Twilight, to come to my place around six or later. That's when your dress will be ready."
"Wait, what dress?" Spike asked Twilight. "The dress for what?"
"Um, Rarity? It is six. It's actually ten past six right now," Twilight said as she pointed a hoof towards the clock Rarity had up on her wall. Rarity's face turned even whiter when she realized what that meant, before sprinting past Twilight and Spike, as she dove into a plie of fabrics and started to look through them with a speed that no pony could match.
"Of all the things that could happen, this is the WORST...POSSIBLE...THING!" Rarity yelled as she tore Twilight's dress out of a pile of clothes and rushed to her sowing table, desperately trying to get the fabrics to merge with the dress. As she freaked out, Twilight walked over to her side to try and calm her.
"Rarity, it's alright if you don't have it done," Twilight said with a smile. Rarity stopped sewing and spun around on her chair to glare at Twilight over the rim of her work glasses.
"Twilight, darling, I know that you are trying to make me feel better, but I promised that I would have your dress done by tomorrow and I shan't break that promise. I have already finished the others' dresses; I will not let you down." Before Twilight could say anything in response, Rarity spun back around on her seat and continued to work on the dress. Spike and Twilight looked at each other with a shrug right before the door to the shop got kicked open.
"AARRRGGHH! I hate that stupid Diamond Tiara!" Sweetie Belle screamed while the other three jumped in surprise. She stomped over to the kitchen and threw her saddle bag for school down with a growl and began to lay siege to the fridge. Rarity got out of her chair with a sigh and walked into the kitchen after her sister, who was attempting to make herself dinner. By attempt, she had set fire to a salad.
"Sweetie Belle, what's the matter?" Rarity asked her sister as Twilight extinguished the salad and anything else that had been set ablaze by Sweetie's rampage. She sat down and slammed her hooves on the table, burying her face in them.
"Diamond Tiara made fun of us again, saying that even after a year we still don't have our cutie marks," she said in a muffled tone, her hooves hiding her tears. "And it gets worse and worse everyday. Sometimes, I just don't want to go to school." Rarity sat down next to her sister and gently wrapped her hoof around her shoulder, holding her close as Sweetie's sobs caused her body to shake.
"Twilight, I will have your dress for you in the morning, but can you please leave for now?" Rarity asked them gently as she ran her hoof through her sister's mane. "I need to talk to Sweetie alone."
"Of course, Rarity. Come along, Spike," Twilight said to her assistant as she picked up her bags and headed for the door, half dragging Spike to the door. Spike looked back at the two for a moment before heading out with Twilight. The sun had almost vanished over the horizon as the day neared its end, but it still gave the ponies one last gift as it cast a golden light upon all of Ponyville. Twilight looked towards the sunset with a smile and a sigh, happy. Spike, on the other hand, was kicking rocks on the ground with a frown on his face, thinking about what he saw and heard back in the boutique. Twilight looked back at him as they walked and noticed that he was upset.
"Spike, what's the matter?" she asked him when he kicked a can through the air. He sighed and looked off towards the sunset.
"I don't know, Twilight. I'm just thinking about what we heard back there," he told her. She nodded, staying silent in case he would continue. "How can some ponies be so cruel? Diamond Tiara, Chrysalis, Sombra? Why do they get so much pleasure out of hurting others?" Twilight came to a stop, thinking about her answer carefully.
"Some ponies just like to watch others suffer," Twilight said with a shrug. "Some ponies are just bad."
"I'd like to give them a piece of my mind," Spike said with a frown, crossing his arms as he began to think. Twilight smiled at her assistant and pulled him in close with her wing, causing him to try and push her off before any pony saw. After a minute of walking they reached the Golden Oaks library, the place they both called home. Twilight opened the door for both of them and flicked on the lights, casting a warm glow on the books that she loved so. The library was, as most libraries are, stacked from the floor to the ceiling with books. Twilight placed her bags down on the center table and spun around once, happy to be home. In constrast, Spike looked around at all the books that were lying on the floor and knew what Twilight was going to ask him to do next. So with a downcast sigh, he walked over to the first book and bent down to pick it up.
"Aw, I didn't even have to ask you this time," Twilight said with a smile. Spike muttered under his breath about how much he should be getting paid for this. Twilight looked out the window at the sky as the moon began her arc to the peak. Closing the blinds, she started to prepare for bed. Spike had just finished cleaning up while Twilight turned off the lights and headed up the stairs.
"Hey Twilight?" Spike called out, stopping her at the top of the stairs.
"Yeah Spike, what's up?" she asked him.
"You went to Rarity's to pick up a dress that you had dropped off when I was out. And it was the same dress that you wore when you went to the Gala. Are you going somewhere soon?" Spike asked her while twisting his tail in his claws nervously. Twilight looked at him for a minute before sighing and walked back down the stairs towards him.
"Well, you caught me," she said with a smile. "I was going to tell you tomorrow that I have royal meeting to attend in Canterlot tomorrow and that I'll be gone for a few days."
"But you just got back from a conference a few days ago! Why do you have to leave again so soon?" Spike asked in protest at the news of her having to leave again. "You're always leaving on all sorts of adventures, but I never get to go with you!" Twilight walked over and wrapped a hoof around him to pull him into a hug.
"I know, and I'm sorry about having to leave you alone so many times in the past few months," she said gently. "But it's my duty as a princess to attend these meetings and balls, but that doesn't mean I enjoy being away from you. It's just that this is my other job now, and I have to constantly be away so that Equestria remains peaceful. You understand, right?"
"I understand," Spike grumbled while pushing Twilight off of him and turning away with his arms crossed. "Doesn't mean that I have to like it."
"Well, thanks for understanding at least," Twilight said with half a smile. "Now come on, let's get to bed. I have a big day tomorrow and if I don't get my sleep..."
"An Ursa Major wouldn't want to mess with you," Spike finished for her with a small smile. Twilight smiled back and wrapped her hoof over his shoulder as the two went up the stairs. Spike went straight for his bed and passed out the moment he hit the sheets, whereas Twilight looked at him for a minute before she got into her bed.
"Spike, I'm really sorry, I truly am. But this is important. I hope you can forgive me," she whispered to him before sliding under the covers herself and resting her head on the pillow, thinking of how she would make it up to him when she got back. She fell asleep soon afterwards, just as all the lights in town went out as well, letting the pale light of the moon bathe the land in its comforting light. Except for the moon, no sign of light could be seen for miles--except for one small source. Nearly an hour after Twilight had gone to sleep, a small green light slipped through the downstairs window that she left open on days like today. The small source of light painted the room with a green glow, but was so small that none of the neighbors noticed the light. Its green light flickered and it fell a bit from where it had been hovering, but it managed to keep itself aloft as it began to scan the room. When it didn't detect any life in the main room, it floated weakly up the stairs to the bedroom, slipping under the crack at the bottom of the door to get inside. It floated back up to eye level and scanned the room again, this time detecting Twilight in her bed. After scanning her memories and her heart, the light came to a conclusion. She was the one. The light floated over to her and hovered just above her pillow, brightening its light just enough so that she would awaken. After a minute she groaned and rolled over in her bed, opening her eyes just enough so that she could see and looked up at the light.
"Stupid parasprite," she mumbled to herself as she swung her hoof at it, trying to drive it off. The light moved out of the way of each hit, causing Twilight to narrow her tired eyes. She then let her horn glow with power before hitting the light with a stunning spell that caused the green light to fall to her bed, where it bounced off and fell to the ground at the side of her bed. "I'll let you out in the morning," she muttered to herself as she rolled back over and went back to sleep. The light lay on the ground, its power so low that it couldn't move itself any more. The barely glowing light would have laid there 'til morning if Spike hadn't startled himself awake in the middle of the night. He yawned and looked around the room with tired eyes, eyes that widened a little when he saw the light on the floor. He hopped out of his bed and fell to his side, pulling himself back up and walking over to the light to get a closer look.
"Is that...a ring?" he asked himself as he knelt down to get a better look at the light. A small green ring was laying on the floor next to Twilight's bed, a ring like he had never seen before. Sure, he had seen rings, but this one was far more extraordinary than any of those. With its eerie green light and the strange symbol on the front, it looked almost...alien. "Wow! I don't think that I've ever seen a ring this cool looking before." Spike reached out for it and scooped it up into his claw, turning it over. He smiled and decided that even if he didn't know where it came from, he would keep it anyway. He always liked having something that nopony else had. But little did he know that as he stood back up and went back to bed, the ring was scanning him. He was not the wielder that it had originally chosen, nor was he one that it would have chosen. But the ring could feel the potential in this wielder's soul, and with the other wielder having rejected the ring, it decided that he would make a good back-up. So, as the tiny dragon crawled back under his covers and tucked his new prize under his pillow, he was unaware that the ring had begun to glow, signaling those who were so far away that a new wielder had been chosen.
A new Green Lantern.

GREEN LANTERN! YESSS! I love you so much...
GL's gettin' some love here? I'm so on this.
So you picked Spike. Interesting. Anyway, you mentioned other rings being drawn towards the planet. Were there only the four or were there more than that? I'm not sure how Green Lantern rings work, but I would think that with a massive space battle above the planet that more than four rings would find their way to the surface in search of new bearers.
*sees that it's Green Lantern*
Instant fave!
Spike is the Green Lantern? That's one we should of saw coming. Sweetie Belles' role can be a multitude of things, but I'll figure her role out eventually. Twilight is going to pissed she lost a chance to read the biggest book in the universe (aka: the Book of Oa).
please continue to make awesome crossovers till the end of time that is all
You would think Spike fall under the category of
being a Orange Lantern.
Well, this is shaping up to be quite the story. Not only is Green Lantern at the core, but this time, it's Spike who gets to be the hero.
Of course, he's probably not going to even be able to try the secret identity routine. After all, how many dragons his age are seen anywhere in Equestria?
4296333 Well, I think I know what role Sweetie Belle's going to get. After all, a blue ring was also mentioned falling to the surface of Equestria.
4296355 He was only in a state where that ring would have chosen him for one episode, so no.
Looking good... looking real good Can't wait for more.
Spike is GL? This story just began and you have gotten my full attention.
Teach me your secrets.
Why would you expect hate for this; this is awesome! I'll admit that I did not see Spike coming as a choice for a Green Lantern, but this curve ball makes the story even better already. He finally gets a chance to be the hero that he has always wanted to be and if he is the final choice for the Silver Mare League, I will be ecstatic.
On another note, I thought only those wielding the ring of love could reject their rings. I may be wrong since I don't keep up with the comics, but I was fairly sure of this element. I am not complaining, just wondering out loud.
4296370 I disagree, she's going to be a red lantern. As shown by the foreshadowing of raging at Diamond Tiara, which added absolutely nothing to the story except as a reason for the red ring to choose her and for a moral crisis of whether Sweetie should take vengeance on DT.
Also,
Yes Twilight, some ponies are just born evil. Zero chance of ponies like Sombra being corrupted by dark magic, or Chrysalis being raised in an environment where ponies are looked down upon, like how humans look down upon flies. Nothing to due with how they were raised or any traumas.
Also, looking at the tags in hopes of guessing who gets what ring, I see Owliscous. That would probably be the last character I'd expect to get a ring. And are you seriously using Sombra as a villain again? (That's rhetorical, since you already said in your Trixie story that there's only one good Sombra, and this ain't him).
4296403 He expected hate because of the pairings of rings to ponies. For example, some people will rage when Sweetie Belle gets a red ring. And he already said that since lantern rules are constantly being changed, he's choosing his favorite rules to use.
4296428 ...Sweetie Belle a Red Lantern? I would not have made the connection between her hate of Diamond Tiara and the red ring until you pointed it out, but that would make for a more interesting story element. Not only would she hate Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon for their constant teasing, but she may also show hate towards the adults who, in her eyes, don't seem to do much to try and stop it from happening.
Also, I don't know if Owlowiscious will actually be a ring bearer or not, but I do see him being more of a conscious for Spike as he gets used to his new role as a Green Lantern.
Okay, I'm liking it so far. Spike's in for a big shock tommorrow. It's time for the dragon to be the hero.
4296428
First, if you're using one moment where Sweetie Belle was overcome by her emotions due to excessive bullying as a basis, by that logic it would make more sense for Spike to have been chosen by an orange ring. Remember Secret of My Excess? Of course, it's possible that we're both wrong, but unless Sweetie Belle is overcome by anger on a regular basis in this story, I'm not going to believe your theory unless I see it actually happen.
What's more, how many times have we seen one of the characters close to the Elements be portrayed in a villainous light? Once, in Whenever You Call, and only because Celestia was under one type of mind control or another for most of that fic.
Second, it's possible for some characters to be mean without anything that could be viewed as a Freudian Excuse. Just look at Diamond Tiara, the pony Spike and Twilight were talking about in the first place.
moarpowah.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Phoenix-Wright-Simon-Blackquill.png
In future, I would suggest you be careful what blades you try to use on others in this manner, because at best, you'll find them too dull to wound your opponent, and at worst they might betray you, like a double-edged sword.
However, I feel that instead of wasting time and energy in a pointless debate when it's possible we might both be wrong, it would be smarter to wait and see what twists and turns Onomonopia has in store for us with this story. That way, whoever is correct can let the evidence do the talking for them.
So if Spike is Green Lantern and Scootaloo is Batmare on this coming Silver League, I have to wonder what Captain Marvel is gonna think when he sees two radically different version of of his friends.
Keep up the good work
I can't help but wish for a one shot chapter showing just how Twilight would have used the ring and how powerful she'd be with it and being an Alicorn.
But Spike is a great second choice, I can't wait to see him in action. Sombra I can see getting either of the red or yellow rings... can't wait to see which.
4296565 All your arguments are flawed.
1. I'm not basing it off of Sweetie Belle's bullying in the show, I agree that would be stupid. No, I'm basing it off her bullying in this fic. If I'm right, then it's a great piece of foreshadowing. If I'm wrong, then it's a bad way to set up that some ponies are fundamentally evil.
2. The author not using close friends of the Mane Six as villains very often only strengthens my point. He's trying something original so the readers do not get bored by him rehashing the some plot several times. Although he still is rehashing the same plot of Sombra being a villain, so maybe I'm wrong about him being against using the same plot multiple times.
3. I don't actually understand your sword metaphor.
4. I'm never wrong.
4296372 True.
4296372 However.

4296748 1. You lack any incontrovertible proof to support your argument. Without evidence, you cannot hope to possibly judge something correctly.
2. I, for one, think it is a little too soon to accurately judge whether or not the plot of this story will be anything like his previous works.
3. You obviously haven't played Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, where Prosecutor Simon Blackquill, also known as the Twisted Samurai, is almost constantly using sword metaphors when talking about the case that the defense is making.
4. Those are bold words, but the sad truth is that everyone is wrong at least once in their life. Therefore, I feel that by saying that, you're either denying one of the truths of life, or you're just being a troll. Either way, I have a feeling you're setting yourself up to be proven wrong on a massive scale.
4296533 Wait... Didn't the ring go to twilight? Would a ring even work on a pony? Is sweetie getting a ring, or is this just spike? Why am I asking you this?
4296810 1 and 2: We can go no further on these points until more information is presented.
3. I've been meaning to play more Pheonix Wright, but my iPod crashes a lot.
4. I'd be pretty damn happy if this argument was the one time I was wrong in my life.
4296769 EEYUP!
4296862 Well, Dual Destinies is actually exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS, although you can only get it by downloading it from the Nintendo eShop.
4296846 It did but the ring thought that she didn't want it and ran out of power. When Spike picked it up it scanned him and though he had a lot of potential.
Maybe on their horns but unless they can get bigger and put on their hooves I doubt it.
Maybe since three other kinds of rings went to Equestria as well.
And I don't know.
And apparently the rings forgot that beings need sleep..and that disturbing said beings means they make rash decisions. but its a interesting direction still, I wonder what will happen
4296366
The Green suit is made of the same material as Clark's glasses.
4296428
HE'S JUST TOO MUCH DAMN FUN TO WRITE! Oh, you'll see why.
4297158 I see.
Could you help jeray2000 and I settle who's right about Sweetie Belle's role in this? Because he thinks, just because in her first appearance she was in a bad mood, that she's going to get a red ring, while I'm hoping she gets a blue ring. And yes, that pun was totally intentional.
4297164 As long as you aren't make him the villain in the Me and Mr. B story. Unless if this Sombra somehow has the ability to switch between dimensions, and the exact same Sombra is the villain in both stories, but no one besides the Silver Mare knows it and she decides to go back to be ominous. That'd be pretty epic.
Speaking of the Silver Mare, when did she decide from speaking a couple times a story in a very ominous manner to only one character as to avoid detection from Teth, to communicating with multiple characters every chapter and directly assisting in combat?
4297221
Which combat story are you talking about? She's fought in a few.
4297213
I don't want to spoil the future chapters, but the answer will be clear in the future. Very clear. No room for doubt.
Awesome, it feels just like when Whenever you Call and The Strongest There Is were posted on the same day!
Yellow spider leg constructs...? Aw man, I'm really hoping that that battle was not Sinestro and Hal. I guess we'll find out, since Spike is probably going to have to attend that "Orientation" thing. Kilowog should train him.
Heh. Betting that GL Spike and Captain Marvel will still get along when they meet. Some things never change, regardless of dimension.
Sombra is going to wield Fear now, isn't he? Darn it.
Spike as a Green Lantern. Hmmmmm. Sounds interesting.
4297247 I refuse your statement of 'no room for doubt'. Even if you give the red ring to Sombra and the blue ring to Sweetie then end the story, I will stubbornly cling to my argument and say you're going to write a sequel where Sweetie gets the red ring, even when you specially state there will be no sequel.

That is fine. And I maaaaaaayyyyyyyy do a sequel. Very far in the future though. Not certain. Much room for doubt.
I would've completely but out the scene where it tried to be twi's ring, but regardless, it was a good read for what it turned out to be so far
In my opinion, if this story is going to be mainly about Spike as a Green Lantern then you probably shouldn't have Twilight as the ring's first choice. Also, considering the fact Twilight pointed out that she has royal duties to attend to now, the idea of the ring choosing her over Spike probably won't help your story very well, I'm not saying that Twilight is weak willed but it's just that she already has a duty to her subjects and can't be both a princess and a Green Lantern so it's almost pointless to have the scene I just mentioned, but I'm not your editor so I'm not going to gripe about what I don't like unless I'm being constructive about it.

"What a lovely battery, Spike. May I see it?"
"MY POWER BATTERY!
"Not this again."
"Spike , please share. "
There is hope and potential for this one, I can feel it. My decision is made: I'm so watching this
Ok, now that I've full read the chapter. I got a few questions.
1. Asshole/Dumbass/Wrong Genre Savvy Smurf (aka the Guardians of the Universe) will get what's coming to them, right?
2. Is Spike a poozer?
and 3. Ion is going to show up, isn't he?
I found this to be a pleasant surprise today. I have a particular love of Green Lantern, so this will be interesting to read through in greater detail when I have the time. Though I'd like to offer a bit of advice.
The first part of your story involves several very long paragraphs in a row. I'd try to break up those paragraphs a bit more. As far as writing mechanics it is recommended to alternate between long and short paragraphs to avoid tiring the reader from continuous long paragraphs, and to also avoid looking like a five paragraph essay with short ones.
I don't really mind Spike as a choice, though it is certainly different. Personally I too would have picked him for the Orange Corps, but not because he is greedy, sort of. While Spike has definite problems with greed, he has been staying away from feeling particularly greedy. So if an orange ring were in active search mode, I'm not sure Spike would register as an attractive target. And Larfleeze ensures all the rings made by his Lantern are NOT in active search mode. Now if Spike were to just find a ring that's different, since the orange light is addicting and would emphasize his weakness to greed.
As far as Twilight being too busy to be a GL, I'd like to mention Princess Iolande, a GL from Sector 1417 who runs her entire planet and yet still manages to serve, though she does have problems balancing the two jobs.
And as for the possibility that Sweetie Belle could be a Red Lantern in this, my only concern is believability. I get that she feels very angry about her bullies, but is that enough? Not every person that suddenly feels anger is a target for a red ring. It has to be extreme anger, anger and rage and red light strong enough to catch the attention of a ring.
As Kyle said of the green ring, the energy in the ring is multiplied by the user's willpower a million times over. The rings look for those with strengths of emotion strong enough to use them to their full potential, not every little blip. That's why all the RLs have backstories involving loss and murder, because that usually makes them angry enough to catch a ring's attention.
Still, I'll be interested to see where this goes.

HEY GUYS! I'm just a random Red Lantern fan boy here, but Sweetie can't not just turn into a Red Lantern because of bullying. MOST MAYBE ALL Red Lanterns become by great hate towards one or a group of people. For example, Rankorr is a human Red Lantern. He became one after witness the police brutally killing his brother. Rankorr let his rage take over and killed the police officer who killed his brother. Other events in his life that also trigger his rage was bullying. Bully can be a small reason for becoming Red Lantern.
There are other reasons to become Red Lantern, just look at Dexter the Cat, Guy Gardner, Bleez, and Atrocitus. WELL it's not my story so I can't do anything about it. Just remember that Red Lanterns cannot get near to love...they will die.
4297396 Answer me this. Does Sweetie Belle have a backstory that has caused her to feel intense amounts of anger her whole life? Because if you can't answer yes, the chances of her becoming a Red Lantern just because of one outburst are extremely slim.
