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.”

	"Please," said Rose, trying to continue to project Blue light. "Let's talk this out. There's no need to fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are not you enemies," Kieran says to the lanterns he had been fight, "Someone else it behind this. Instead of wasting our energies fighting lets work together to find out who and then you can fight to your heart's delight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fight? Yes. Fight good?" Gorius's smile was now huge on his over sized face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose and Kieran's words sank in and Dex backed off. He wanted nothing more than to pound this asshole into a bloody plump, but he was hurting and didn't have much strength left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And why should we believe you?" Chad snarls, though a lot of the fire and passion have gone as out of his words as they have his rings. "The guardians would destroy all the other Corps if they could." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-01-31 01:54 am UTC (link)
	"Because our rings are de-powered as well. Otherwise you'd be a bloody pulp right now," Dex growled. It was all bravado, but he wasn't going to back down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How do we know that you aren't just pretending that your ring is de-powered?" Nagah demanded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hopeburnsbright 2011-01-31 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Please," said Rose, her tone earnest. "You have to believe us. We're just as in the dark here as you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ring? De-powered? Gorius looked at his ring, and felt his rage just ebb. Who did that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because we'd be kicking your asses all over this solar system if we were at full power," Dex growled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chad growls... but his ring is de-powered enough that logic is back to working in his universe. They have them defeated - and yet they want to talk. Might be a trick - but the Green Lantern seems like the type whose brain cell occasionally gets lonely, not the tricky sort. "So, what do you want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We should put our differences aside and work together to figure this out," Rose suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nagah snarled. "Like hell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2011-01-31 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"Rose is right," Dex said. He'd let Rose do all the talking. Otherwise they'd be fighting again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_rogues 2011-01-31 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"What do fix?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No problem - as soon as you quit serving the Guardians. You want to find out what's wrong, start there. When did this start for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't notice anything till a little while ago," Kieran says curious as to when this happened to the others to see if maybe there was some clue in that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I do not answer to the Guardians of the Universe," Rose said. "I hold them in the highest regard, but I do not take my orders from them.

Please. This has been going on as long for us as it's probably been going on for you.

My ring never needs a charge. My ring is powered by the hope of the universe. Now, I would like to think that there isn't something effecting that hope, and I think I might be right, if everyone's rings are what appears to be half-strength.

Also, the likelihood of the Guardians being behind this isn't highly probable. If this was their doing, Dex's ring wouldn't be suffering from this lack of power as well.

I am aware that our various corps have not always see eye-to-eye in the past. But there have been times when they put aside their differences and worked together to overcome an obstacle. This is one of those times.

I promise you, that if you all agree to work together with Dex, Kieran, and myself, that we will look out for you as if we were all part of one corps."

Getting them to all work together was going to be difficult, but she was going to try.

	"That still doesn't answer the question of what's going on," Nagah taunted. "The Guardians could still be behind this. They've left their lapdogs in the dark before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They have." Chad agrees, but then considers. "But it makes sense that if the blue light is affected - even as much as the Guardians distrust and dislike them... that something more is going on." Atrocitus knows a great deal about the blue light, after all.

"Very well... Gorius... follow what the lady with the blue ring wishes... for now."

He glances at Rose, staring daggers her direction. "But note that we are helping you, not the Guardians' dog, so keep him on a short leash. The second he tries to give me an order or threatens either of us, the deal is off, do you understand?"

	"Blue good? Not like Green?" Gorius seemed confused, but he did as he was told. "Yes. Blue good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dex's mouth pulled back into a snarl and a low growl came from his throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hopeburnsbright 2011-01-31 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Rose nodded, taking a hold of Dex's hand and giving it a light squeeze. "Understood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_rogues 2011-01-31 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You betray us, you both die." Nagah snarled. "And I promise you, it will hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kieran shook his head. Those Reds and that Yellow would find things so much easier if they just let love into their hearts but he got the feeling they would not take it well if he said that and their alliance was tenuous at best. “Let’s go take care of this then,” Kieran said. He did not like having his power cut like this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
