These Aren't the Lanterns You're Looking For
Being out on patrol wasn't one of Dex's favorite things about being a green lantern, but it came with the ring. Sometimes there wasn't much to do except throw some asteroids around, which today was one of those days. Thankfully today Rose was by his side and gave him some company.

“Something's wrong,” he said. “My ring doesn't seem as charged as it should be.”

	"I can fix that for you," Rose said, preparing to charge Dex's ring. Though when she charged it, instead of reaching overcharged levels, it only reached one-hundred percent. Warning: power levels dropping. "But...my ring draws power from the hope of the universe," Rose said. "I never have to charge my ring." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I've got a bad feeling about this," Dex said. "Let's go back. Now." Dex didn't like Rose being out here with no charge in her ring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah," said Rose. "I don't like this. My ring shouldn't need to be charged." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know and it worries me. Along with my ring being so weak. Can I give you a lift?" he asked and held out a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose nodded, taking his hand. "Appreciated," she said. "I'm at half power...I don't want it to get lower." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They're going to be ambushed along the way, a trio of red-light fighter jets streak at them, firing missiles that explode in bursts of raw hatred and rage - which eats right through green shields - though the blue is, luckily, significantly more protection. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The missiles are not the only things of red in the sky. In the distance, a huge red blur comes streaking towards them, roaring in rage as it gets closer and closer to its target. Green. Kill! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The attacks hit Dex had enough sense to pull Rose against him. He had no problems using his body as a shield. He put as much as he could into his shield. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A streak of yellow flew onto the scene. "Kill the Blue first," she said. "I want to see her scream for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The lanterns flew through space and eventually arrived in space above Oa. At first nothing seemed wrong, but then all hell broke loose as a group of Black Lanterns flew up from the surface. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"The hell?!" Chad curses, filling the area in front of them with fire - and rather surprised when it does relatively little to the shields of the undead lanterns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
