Twilight Sparkle: Red Lantern

Chapter 2

Atrocitus took Twilight to a red planet and on it was a giant citadel. “Welcome to Ysmault homeworld of our Red Lantern Corp and your new home” Atrocitus “I will take your stuff your new quarters, why don’t you look around?”

Twilight nodded and Atrocitus left with Twilight’s backpack (the one made from her suitcase) and her Power Battery.

Twilight looked around and saw many different creatures in the Red Lantern uniform. 10 minutes later she wandered off into what seemed like some sort of church. Then she saw a black slug like creature with a sceptre whose skin was modelled after the Red Lantern Uniform.

“Who are you?” asked the Slug like creature when he saw Twilight.

“Sorry but I’m kind of a new recruit” said Twilight “my name’s Twilight Sparkle.”

“Well welcome to the Red Lantern Corp Ms Sparkle, any Red Lantern soldier is welcome anytime in the house of our lord Atrocitus” said the creature “I am Cleric Loran!”

Twilight then saw on the stained glass window was of Atrocitus holding up a Red Power Battery.

“Would you like to hear the story behind these inspiration images my angry child?” asked Loran.

Twilight nodded still eager to learn. On the glass window at the bottom was of a city.

“Very well then” Loran said “the city represents the capital of Ryut homeworld of our lord Atrocitus before the Guardians arrived! Then the Guardians descended upon them!”

Above the city was a picture of blue old looking creatures in red robes. “They said they would bring peace and order” said Loran “but as the Book of Rage tells us lies tumbled from their mouths! They said ‘kneel before us and we will give you peace’ but the people would not worship those monsters and their wrath was deep and terrible, the blue devils unleashed their Manhunters!!”

Beneath the Guardians were red giant robots. Loran then continued “and so the Guardians and their soulless avengers destroyed every life on the planet stealing every breath but our lord and saviour Atrocitus heroically managed to escape! It was his holy hate that bore the 1st fruit of a Red Lantern! He created the Red Lantern Corp and we shall help him retain vengeance against those evil devils!”

“Is there a copy of this Book of Rage that I can study” asked Twilight.

“Of course” Loran said and floated to her was a book that looked like an Earth bible except it was red and had the Red Lantern symbol on it. “Take this my angry child” said Loran “we keep many copies of the book in our House of Lord Atrocitus to give Red Lanterns inspiration!”

Twilight was now carrying it using the magic in her horn and walked out of the church. Atrocitus then came up to her and said “your dorm is ready! Allow me to take you to it!”

“Loran was just telling me the story behind that stained glass window” said Twilight.

Atrocitus smiled and said “good as it would show you the evil we fight against!”

Atrocitus showed Twilight to her dorm where Twilight’s stuff was unpacked along with her power Battery and in the bookcase that was set up for her to keep her books she put the Book of Rage in there as well.

Twilight then began her training as a Red Lantern with Atrocitus showing her how to use the Power Ring like making constructs and how they are also only limited to the user’s imagination. She was also put through intense obstacle courses and fight training with some ferocious and fearsome Red Lanterns but she managed to get the hang of it.

3 days later Atrocitus thought she was ready enough to show her old world what she was capable of. Twilight then flew back to Equestria outside Canterlot. She recharged her ring with her Red Power Battery before placing it in a special portal and then walking off in her normal identity wanting not to waste her Red Lantern powers until she sees something she can use against.

For the past few days the other Mane 6, Spike and Princess Celestia were trying to think of a way to go to wherever Atrocitus had taken Twilight to rescue her but so far they were not able to think of something. Princess Celestia had not yet alerted Twilight’s brother Shining Armor or her parents as not to worry them.

Twilight was now in Canterlot and was walking about in her normal pony self with her Ring hidden by her mane.

“Twiley!” Twilight heard a voice shouted excitedly.

Twilight then saw her parents come forward to her along with her older brother Shining Armor and former foal sitter Cadence.

“Twilight sorry we haven’t been able to see you since you moved to Ponyville darling” said Mrs Sparkle as she and her husband was nuzzling their daughter.

“Twiley since you’re here we have something to tell you” Shining said.

“Shining proposed and I accepted!” Cadence said excitedly.

“Wonderful” Twilight said with an evil smirk on her face “let me give you a little engagement present!”

Twilight’s parents, Shining and Cadence took a step back and looked worried as Twilight’s horn began glowing dark red and floating.

“Are you alright Twilight?” asked Mr Sparkle nervously.

“I’ve never felt better in my life Dad!” Twilight said as she transformed into her Red Lantern Uniform to their shock.

She was about to fire a blast at them when a voice in her head said “Twilight what are you doing? They are your family and they haven’t done anything wrong!”

She then flew past them. She then flew to Canterlot Castle.

Inside Princess Celestia was talking to Spike and the remainder of the Mane 6.

“It’s no use!” Princess Celestia grunted “no matter where I look I can’t find any information on this Atrocitus or this Red Lantern powers!”

“We have to do something!” Rainbow Dash screamed “that Atrocitus turned out friend into a monster!”

“Poor Twilight” said Fluttershy “she must be frightened being controlled by that red monster!”

“I wouldn’t say that!” they heard a familiar voice. They gasped as Twilight then flew through the window and she was floating in the air as her horn was glowing.

“Ready for round 2?” she asked grinning.

What do you think? The information of the origin of the Red Lantern Corp (although altered) and Loran comes from the episode “Reckoning” from the CGI Green Lantern Animated Series.
