Applejack was a simple pony, content with a hard day's work and good friends. However, fate decides she's in for a little more than that when an alien crashes into the farm and gives her a strange ring. Now, Applejack is thrust into a war she never expected, part of the intergalactic police force, the Green Lanterns. The enemy? A merciless group of warriors called the Yellow Lanterns, whose brutality is unmatched by any in the universe. Faced with a savagery that she has never encountered before, Applejack must step up and become the iron willed warrior the Green Lanterns, and the universe, need her to be.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power: Green Lantern's light!"

I love green lantern crossovers

Well, for my first attempt at looking at the 'New Stories' section, I landed an pretty good story. I'm definantly tracking this. Keep up the good work mate.

Also, found some errors you might want to take a look at:

As much as people saw Twilight as the stargazer

You said 'people' here. In any other circumstance, that'd be ok. but considering that throughout the story you made pony puns like 'Benjamin Flanklan' (which, might I add, was great), it's best to make everything consistant and change that into 'ponies' or 'other ponies' so you don't confuse the reader.

The hooked her hooves over the edge of the ditch, and pulled herself up, looking towards the impact sight.

I'm pretty sure you mean 'She' there.

Can we expect other colors in the emotional spectrum?

Will we be seeing any human Green Lanterns, like John Stewart or Hal Jordan?

Kick-ass :yay:
Awesome can't wait for more.

Uhg, you're right, of course I meant ponies. Thank you for that one.

1455617
You will, if fact. I'll tell you the Red Lanterns, since they're in the description, but you'll have to read to find any others!

1456029
As for human Green Lanterns, perhaps XD They are big names in the Corps, so I figure they'll show up somewhere.

1456485
Will you use the oath from the Comics or the Animated Series?

1456616
I think the animated series change the oath for censorship reasons. I am under no such restrictions :pinkiehappy:

1455550
Thank you for the compliment, and the twang XD I hope I do DC justice, and please let me know if I screw up anything major.

i love the green lanterns and recently started reading the blackest night event so im really looking forwards to what happens next in this story :pinkiehappy:

1459005
Well, I'm working on it now, so soon I hope.

Sweet Celestia this looks awesome! Have to agree with eponymous, why wasn't this done sooner?

Signed the good dr.

wow this is like the first green lantern to include Hal Jordan actually in the fic...I approve!

1462288
Heh, well with my limited experience with Green Lanterns, I always like Hal. I know a lot of people don't, but it seems like he and AJ would get along.

1462290
well you got his character right I'll say that keep up the good work. I do like Hal he's a fun character

Heh. I like it so far. I'll follow.

I dont know gilda as yellow lantern ? I pictured her more like a red lantern still great story

I like the rapid-fire chapters. It means I have something to read more often.

So far so good. I'm a HUGE green lantern fan.
But I'm going to point out something that made me laugh
Hal gave Aj the nickname "Cowgirl"
That is also the nickname of his (ex?-)girlfriend...I forget her name. She's not Carol Ferris.

Just made me laugh.
Here, as an apology for my rambling, have an epic, somewhat related picture

Ha, I didn't even know that. It just seemed like a thing Hal would say. I don't read Green Lantern comics, all the info I get comes from the GL wiki XD And Optimus Prime as a Green Lantern? Sinestro's BUCKED.

Well, this should be interesting. :pinkiehappy:

Applejack bucking Kilowog in the face? Epic.

But... Gilda, as a yellow lantern...?

Well, friends and neighbors, the fourth installment is here. Unfortunately, I'm having some computer trouble, so I can't guarantee that there won't be a bit of a gap between this and the next chapter. Well, anyway, thank you for your continued readership.

1521666 let me guess and say you are using windows??? i hear there all ways having problems

I hope Hal returns. I read every one of his lines in Nathon Fillion's voice. :twilightsmile: Really enjoying this story. I wonder if any of the other Elements of Harmony will get power rings. I saw a comment about Pinkie potentially as a Blue Lantern.... that, surprisingly fits. :pinkiehappy:

Well, friends, my computer's still going strong, so here it is, the next chapter. I feel decently proud of it, so tell me what you think. Til next time, stay safe, bronies.

Well, well, well...this certainly looks interesting. I'll wait for it to be completed and then read it

Heh, was wondering if Applejack was going to take the Tony Stark method or the DC comics method.

Bah, why would AJ keep it a secrete? As Hal Jordan said, "Wait until your world has papparatzi". :trollestia: AJ's relatively safe from that. I mean, if she doesn't have them following her for being a member of a team of chaos god butt kicking hero's, they wont go stalking her for being an Interstellar Cop... right? :trixieshiftleft: :trixieshiftright: Oh, Celestia, AJ's doomed! :applecry: I bet Featherweight already got a picture of her changing into her costume and is selling it to the Foal Free Press! :raritydespair: :pinkiegasp: :trollestia:

Good show so far! I'm enjoying every moment of it!

Will other green lantern characters appear such as Guy, Kyle, John or even the the villains like Anti Monitor, Sinestro, or even Black Lanterns?

This is a good story thus far. AJ I think makes for a perfect Green Lantern, I especially like how you brought in a few of the better known Lanterns without making them main stays. I felt like Gilda's thing was a bit campy, but then again, this is a story based off of a comic book series so campy isn't that out of place to see.

oh my gosh. Applejack kicking Kilowag had me on the floor laughing.:rainbowlaugh:

Hey, everypony. Sorry for the short chapter, but I decided to split this one into two parts. The next one will be longer, I promise.

Also, a disclaimer. With the Season Three premier airing yesterday, I feel like I should state this story will be mostly ignoring any developments from the new season. I may or may not throw in a joke about it here or there, but nothing in the third season is canon to this story.

Thank you, and as always, happy reading.

nice and just today i was rereading your story well lets see what happens next
i am hoping for an applejack vs gilda battle

I'm guessing... it's a Yellow Lantern that's coming to town? The girls are going to be in for a shock if so. :twilightoops:

She just had that quality about her, a special something that made her different

I sense something brewing here. :ajsmug: Otherwise great chapter! Keep them coming!

Hello, everypony. For the sake of your fellow readers, please try to avoid spoilers in the comments. If you're furious with me, I understand, and accept your hate.

Hope you enjoy, and thank you for your continued readership.

I'm suddenly reminded of a certain scene from Spider-man involving Gwen Stacy and her falling to her death.

Figured that was coming when I saw the chapter title. :ajsleepy: :twilightoops: :fluttercry: :twilightangry2:

My mind went to Alex Dewitt rather than Gwen Stacy, but hey, that's mostly because this a Green Lantern story.

The farm pony had someone else she had to bring home.

Somepony! :pinkiegasp:

1630371 Yup it was from the Spiderman comics! They did it right in the movie though. He did not break her neck.

Also great story so far! I will not say it, but I see where you're going with 'certant' things. :raritywink: And I must say I like it! Carry on!

Granny Smith.......That griffin needs the death sentence!

The Guardians will deal with Glida; being a Yellow Lantern puts her in their jurisdiction. It's a horrible way to learn just what manner of monsters the Sinestro Corps recruits (and how it twists them) though.

I'm betting that what Glida was trying to say was 'I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!" Because, if there is one constant in all Yellow Lanterns, it is fear; fear of being weak, fear of consequences and fear of those with power of them. Sinestro's evil was based on his fear of his failure to make the cut as a Green Lantern. It is that fear that powers their rings and Glida learnt just what it was to be fearful and weak in those few moments.

If the Yellow Lanterns are around, then the other colours of the emotional spectrum can't be far behind.
