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.”

	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)

	"What did you do?! Chad shouts at the green lantern, before firing another salvo of missiles from his controlled 'jets', one of the few reds who didn't simply belch up hatred. "You're next, Sinestro, but not til we finish the Guardians' lapdog!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Dex yelled in part due to anger and in part due to pain. He was hurting, badly, and if he didn't do something Rose would be killed. He let go of Rose. "Flee," he told her and then charged at the Red who launched the missiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blasts of Violet light start flying towards the Red and Yellow lanterns. Kieran had noticed his ring was not working right and decided to see if something was up with the lanterns he had met over a month ago. He didn't know what was going on when he found them but he figured firing off a few shots at the Reds and Yellow couldn't hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gorius roars in pain as the snakes hit home on him. However, his huge bulk saves him and, his objective clouded by pain and rage, turns on the being that injured him. "KILL!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The blue shields work about a dozen times better than the green, and despite his noble gesture, this time its Rose coming to Dex's rescue, the missiles impacting her shields - but doing no more than a normal blast might.

The violet blasts ward him away, giving the pair some distance, also angering him.

"You should be helping us get revenge on the boot licker, Sapphire. But since you've chosen your side... BURN!"

Just because he can make constructs and think clearly with a red ring doesn't mean he can't do the napalm breath thing.

A stream of raw anger is spit in Kieran's direction for interrupting them.

Kieran quick puts up a force field to protect himself from the blast trying to make it as strong as possible.

“Don’t you think the Green would be putting up a much stronger fight being with a Blue unless there was something up for them too,” Kieran asks hoping the logic will get through to him since he’s not sure how well his shield will hold.

He's still very glad that he was able to helped get some distance between them.

	Things are wrapping Gorius. Nothing hurts him! Gorius roars as he disgorges plasma from his mouth, burning away the constructs trying to constrict him and he continues on, trying to grab the Sinestro with his massive hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The snakes pull Chad away from his task before he can finish the Sapphire. Red, flaming chains emit from his ring, trying to wind around and wrestle the snakes away, burning at the constructs, grasping at anyone else who gets in reach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kieran flew up and took down his burning shield. He would have shot a crystallization beam at the red who attacked him but he was too worried about it's energy cost to his ring. Instead Kieran used his ring to create a violet thorny rose vine to wrap around him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chad falls back under the impact, red shields not being nearly as strong as their offense. Still, he's no slouch. Falling right back on his own hand to hand training, he encases a hand in red flame, and swings right back at Dex. "You want to fight, ass-kisser? You found the right guy.

	Nagah threw up shields to deflect the red vomit being projected at her, though it burned through her shields. "Heel, dog," she sneered, forming a yellow muzzle to wrap around Gorius' throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
