Rainbow Factory: The Blackest Night Has Resumed Production

Joker again. You know, for awhile now, I've been thinking about resuming work on a project that I'd been working on and had hoped to collab with VampDash and another Lantern fan on this site awhile back. Basically, the idea works something like this: after the events of Rainbow Factory, when Scootaloo gets fed to the Pegasus Device, she obtains a Black Lantern Corps Power Ring. But, here's the thing. Because of the way she died, because she was fed to the Pegasus Device, not only does she become a Black Lantern, but she becomes an Absentia (which research indicates is a victim of the Rainbow Factory returned from the dead as a ghost-zombie thing that is hellbent on getting vengeance on everyone inside the Factory. Apparently, they feed on the same substance that the Rainbow Factory extracted from them, Spectra, I believe it's called, and once the Absentia has drained all the Spectra from its victim, said victim's heart is crushed) as well, thus resulting in a situation not dissimilar to when Superboy Prime was a Black Lantern, according to my research. Scootaloo is able to drain Spectra from her victims to not only power her ring, but to power her ability to feel emotions. Not only that, but she maintains control of her body, instead of the ring controlling her. Also, like Superboy Prime, Scoots has access to the powers used by the other colors of the Emotional Spectrum. After breaking out of the Factory, obtaining the identities of who, apart from Rainbow Dash who is saved for last, as I have a symbolic final confrontation planned for her, runs the Rainbow Factory. Think of it as Scootaloo being an Assassin and the Rainbow Factory management are the Templars, with Dash being the leader.

For awhile, the project has been sitting at the bottom of the paper pile, but recently, I've been thinking about picking up working on it. All that's really been stopping me is I don't know what happens at the end of the actual Rainbow Factory story, because the story starts in my version of it. However, it's nothing a little research can't fix! Also, Hopelight, if you're reading this, I could use your help in coming up with an oath for Scootaloo. PM me if you can.

Stay perky.

Sounds like an interesting premise; I'll definitely read it if it hits this site!
