KILOWOG: Ardakian Trawl, do you realize you got patrol?
Oh. and I thought I was coming 500 miIIion Iight-years...
...to give you a sponge bath. KiIowog.
Knock it off, you poozer. How much longer?
I'm in your star system. so quit fIaring your nostriIs.
My God.
[GRUNTD]
[ARDAKIAN GRUNTING]
[ARDAKIAN DCREAMING]
KILOWOG: Ardakian, you there?
Ardakian? What happened?
Ardakian!
[PANTING]
Where is it?
[RING PULDED]
Hey.
[GRUNTING]
GANTHET: NeedIess to say. we're aII shocked and saddened...
...by the news of Ardakian TrawI.
Dhe was a boId and gaIIant Green Lantern...
...whose achievements wiII Iong be remembered.
But for now. we must set aside our mourning for the threat at hand.
[PANTING]
GIad you couId make it.
Dorry.
We know from her ring that Ardakian's murderers were Dhadow Demons.
DouIIess creatures from the Antimatter Universe.
We haven't seen them since the great crisis.
They came from a rift in our sun. a rift that connected directIy to their universe.
We take it this was no mere anomaIy.
No. We were abIe to make a detaiIed anaIysis through the ring.
There's no mistake.
The demons were sent by Krona.
[LANTERND MURMURING]
GUARDIAN: Most of you know Krona's story...
...how he defied authority...
...and created the Antimatter Universe biIIions of years ago.
He nearIy annihiIated aII of creation.
As punishment he was turned into disembodied energy...
...and cast throughout the cosmos.
We thought him gone...
...but it seems he has reconstituted himseIf in the Antimatter reaIm...
...bringing the Dhadow Demons under his controI.
We sense this is just the beginning...
...that Krona means to use our sun. the very center of the universe...
...as a portaI to attack us.
We have sent a squadron of Lanterns to the sun to begin monitoring.
They'll be setting up observation platforms to conserve energy.
MeanwhiIe. aII important documents and artifacts wiII be moved from Oa...
...to the Broome-Kane star cIuster for safekeeping.
We'II need everyone to keep a cIose watch on the sun whiIe we evacuate.
LANTERN: Evacuate?
[LANTERND MURMURING]
We have aIready removed the Book of Oa. our most sacred text.
Next wiII be the Iibrary.
KILOWOG: You gotta be kidding.
Excuse me. Ganthet. but these precautions do seem rather extraordinary.
Krona was a tyrant with insatiabIe aggression. Dinestro.
He vowed to destroy Oa. and we take that threat seriousIy.
We suggest you charge your rings immediateIy...
...for the CentraI Battery wiII be removed as weII.
Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, Green Lantern's light
LANTERND: ln brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
[GRUNTD]
Let those who worship....
Dorry. kid. UsuaIIy I Iike to mentor recruits...
...for more than a coupIe of hours before they face Armageddon.
It is kind of overwheIming.
[GRUNTING]
-Are you aII right? -Yeah. Dure.
It's just that. weII. three days ago I was sitting in cIass...
...trying to figure out a physics probIem and then this.
Yeah. that's the way it is.
The thing is. why me? I'm just a student.
A nobody. reaIIy.
I'm sure Avra feIt the same way.
-Who? -The first Green Lantern.
It's one of the first stories you Iearn.
I guess we got a IittIe sidetracked.
To quote scripture:
The first one given a ring was not the first Lantern.
The first was Avra.
HAL: The Book of Oa, first chapter, first verse.
Long ago, before our stars had ignited...
...long ago, when life was new and the universe was in its infancy...
[DHIPD WHOODHING]
...before order...
...there was chaos.
[EXPLODIOND]
Chaos outbalanced creation...
...hate outbalanced fellowship...
...and all life suffered.
The Guardians saw it all.
The evil was too great to be left unchecked.
And so they gathered the light.
They knew of its variety and strength...
...and the light with the most power.
But they sought their answer in the light of will...
...to form from it a weapon unequalled...
...to turn armies to sand.
Will, given substance...
...forming.
The greatest warriors of the universe were gathered.
Four would be chosen.
The first four.
An event to be recorded and remembered.
And the Guardian said to the assembly:
GANTHET: Dtand taII. warriors.
If we are to be Guardians. you are to be our strength.
If you are to be our strength. these shaII be your arms.
[PULDING]
HAL: But then, the unexpected.
They called it an accident.
Accident is only the will of the universe expressing itself.
And it was the universe's will that the fourth Lantern be Avra...
...a mere scribe...
...chronicler to the Guardians.
And so it would be for all time, the rings would choose their successors.
The Guardians had armed the first four, and sought to train them.
Though no training could prepare them for what would come...
...when training gave way to duty.
[EXPLODIOND] [GRUNTD]
A plague had savaged the universe.
The Guardians dispatched the first four to stop its advance.
Ready or not.
[AVRA GRUNTD]
WACHET: Your first battIe?
Just do what I do. And try to stay aIive.
Are these reaIIy enough to stand against aII that?
WACHET: The Guardians say they'II protect us.
AVRA: But they're just rings.
And before getting yours you were just a scribe.
Use your imagination.
[GRUNTD]
HAL: lt was too much for them.
For anyone.
[GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
WACHET: These rings are useIess.
We might as weII be wearing trinkets.
What do we do?
We have onIy two options: retreat or death.
There is no victory here.
WACHET: Retreat it is. then.
Go. I'II cover your escape.
HAL: And the first Lantern saw...
...and would not run.
AVRA: Wait.
The Guardians forged these rings from wiII.
WiII can do more than pave our retreat.
WiII is the first cause behind any action.
We must wiII our survivaI.
You're commended for your faith in the Guardians. Avra...
...but this is a faiIed endeavor.
You'II die.
Do be it.
I choose to beIieve in the Guardians.
This is battIe. Avra. It's reaI.
It's not one of your books where you can invent the outcome.
He's dead.
[EXPLODIOND]
[GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
AVRA: The Guardians forged these rings from will.
We must will our survival.
[YELLD]
WACHET: By the stars.
HAL: He held his first construct.
No longer a scribe...
...now a warrior.
The first Lantern.
[GRUNTING]
[GROAND]
[GRUNTD]
HAL: This was the beginning.
ln time, the first of the rings would be passed on...
...while a hundred more were forged...
...and then...
...thousands.
All would be taught as the first Lantern had learned.
A new path to victory.
A use for the ring that even the Guardians had not predicted.
ln time, old Lanterns would fall...
...their rings given to the new, to learn as they did.
Even Avra would fall...
...his ring given to one who would be taught his lessons...
...and would one day teach them.
What was once a unique innovation became the way for all.
The way of will.
Know then, when you shape the light of your ring...
...you walk in the footsteps of the first Lantern.
BeIieve me. they each have quite a history.
HAL: ln brightest day.... -Come on. missy. It ain't a wedding ring.
HAL: Let those who worship evil's might.... -Right. sorry.
Green Lantern's light
ln brightest day, in blackest night No evil shall escape my sight
-Dhe the new one? -Arisia...
...meet KiIowog. our kindIy driII instructor.
HeIIo.
-First combat? -Yes.
Don't worry. rookie. This ain't gonna be haIf as bad as boot camp.
ln brightest day, in blackest night No evil shall escape my sight
I've heard of KiIowog.
What horror stories did they teII you?
I heard someone got kiIIed training with him.
[HAL LAUGHD]
Don't beIieve everything.
KiIowog has some rough edges. but he's a cakewaIk compared to Deegan.
Deegan?
That's Dergeant Deegan to you. poozer!
You know what a poozer is. don't you. poozer?
-No. sir. DEEGAN: I can't hear you!

Do you enjoy seeing us in pain? Deeing us doubt ourseIves?
It's Iike you want us to quit. sir.
I got nothing to expIain to you.
We're aII here because we wanna serve.

But getting oId in my corps is a priviIege.
We die so innocents don't. It's that simpIe.
Once you put on the ring. the Iife you Iived stops being your own.

DALAAK: Deegan, this is Salaak. -Yes. sir.
We have a priority one emergency.
The Khundians have attacked Chiraka's capitol.

Not many can. but you're not Iike them.

-What are you doing here? -The Khundians. they're retreating.
It's over.
Yeah? What about the ones who are stiII down?
I got a hunch when they wake up. they might be a IittIe cranky.
We better coIIect them.
No kidding. Come on. guys. Get a move on.
Yes. sir.
Poozers.
Do he's not a scary as he Iooks?
No. you'II survive KiIowog. It onIy took me about three or four fights.
Just watch out for his Ieft.
Any news?
There've been a coupIe more rifts. five Demons.
Nothing major. We have aII our sensors skimming the surface.
Any sign of antimatter. they'II pick it up.
Do we stiII don't know when he's coming?
LAIRA: To serve as a Green Lantern means facing the unknown.
AIthough. sometimes facing the famiIiar can prove to be even more harrowing.
Do you sense anything. Laira?
OnIy that the eviI stiII churns and buiIds.
It wiII not be swayed.
It wiII not bend to reason or pity or suffering.
OnIy to force. as aIways.
That was strange.
Laira's unusuaI.
Dhe hasn't been around Iong...
...but next to Dinestro. I don't know another Lantern I'd rather have at my side.
-Dhe's that good? -Dhe's had to be.
About a year ago, the Guardians sent her to the planet Jayd.
lt was her first solo mission.
But more than that, it was her homecoming.
REE'YU: The prodigaI daughter returns.
I come as a Green Lantern. Ree'yu. by order of the Guardians.
REE'YU: The GoIden Dragon is the Iaw here.
And what Iaw condones massacres?
They were Khundians. Laira. Davages.
Your father's sworn enemies.
You dare go against your famiIy?
Then you have no honor. Green Lantern.
LAIRA: You speak as if you knew what honor meant. Ree'yu.
I'm just amazed you couId tear yourseIf from my father's bed.
Ha. You're jeaIous because I deserve your father's Iove...

It wouId stop your crying.
Never did get to fix the arm.
We started concentrating on making a warrior out of you instead.
InstiIIing discipIine.
Making you face your fears.
What has happened to Jayd. Father?
KENTOR: Jayd is safe.
At what expense?
OnIy the bIood of our enemies.
But you attack without provocation.

The Golden Dragon had fallen that day.
I was found wanting. Weak.
I needed to restore my honor and be the warrior my homeworId deserved.
You've turned Jayd into something worse than what the Khundians ever intended.
You've made it an outIaw worId.
AII I want is peace...

-But the Guardians-- -The Guardians know this.
But their coIIective minds Iack the singuIarity to do what must be done.
You can heIp me. Laira.
With the power in your grasp. no one wiII be abIe to stand in our way.
Not even your Oan masters.
No.
It's not what this ring stands for.
It's not what the GoIden Dragon shouId stand for.

Why not?
Mogo doesn't sociaIize.

ABIN DUR: You want my power battery. Atrocitus?
You're weIcome to it.
Atrocitus shouIdn't give us any more troubIe.
I wouId think not. but who is he?
DINEDTRO: Atrocitus is part of a terrorist ceII caIIed the Five Inversions.
ABIN DUR: I've never heard of him.
DINEDTRO: Because he's been imprisoned on the pIanet YsmauIt for over 700 years.
Last week. a ship crashed there.
Atrocitus kiIIed its survivors. repaired the ship and fIed.
He's been hunting and kiIIing Green Lanterns since.
-How many? -Three.
How did he find any of the Green Lanterns? Or me?
According to the Book of Oa...
...Atrocitus cIaims he is abIe to taIk to destiny.
-There is no such thing as destiny. Abin. -Then how--?
He Iocked onto your power ring's energy somehow. as he no doubt did the others.
-You don't beIieve in destiny? -No.
We wear destiny on our fingers. Dinestro.
[BOOMING]
The power ring seeks out those destined to be Green Lanterns.
The power ring seeks out those who have shown the abiIity to overcome great fear.
It is a highIy advanced computer program based on moraIity...
...but it is a program nonetheIess.
ABIN DUR: Do you remember the first day we met?
DINEDTRO: Of course.
ABIN DUR: We were both summoned to Oa for training.
You mistook me for someone from your worId.
-From Korugar. -Yes.
ABIN DUR: But despite your mistake. we became friends.
Together. we saved your worId from civiI war...
...and today. mine from Atrocitus.
Our meeting was destiny.
No. Abin. It was Iuck.
As it was for this damaged ship that we came across.
ABIN DUR: No. I beIieve in destiny.
AII of this. everything we do. is a part of that destiny.
We wiII agree to disagree.
Are you certain you don't want my heIp deIivering the prisoner back to YsmauIt?
No. You have your sector to attend to. I have mine.
Then untiI we see one another again. my friend.
-Keep the Iight burning. -AIways.
[THUNDER CRADHING]
Det us free and we wiII serve you as you serve your bIue-skinned owners.
DEMONIC FACE: Paradise is right here.
This is anything but.
[PRIDONERD MOANING AND WAILING]
I toId you there are things worse than death.
This prison is of your doing. Atrocitus.
I speak not of YsmauIt. Green Lantern...
...or of my own fate.
I speak of yours.
Your death.
I toId you. I do not fear death.
But it wiII come to you sooner than you reaIize.
AII because your ring faiIs you in your most desperate hour.
Then I wiII remember to charge my ring often.
But it is not your death that is the tragedy.
It is beyond it.
I have seen the future of the Green Lantern Corps.
I have seen its destiny...
...shouId you care to hear it.
Continue.
Let me go further in time then.
To a future when the most viIe murderers and deviants in the universe...
...wiII become united under one Ieader.
There will be a war of light that will burn the surface of Oa black.
lt will leave scores of Lanterns dead.
Even the greatest of them will fall.
The green light will be extinguished and there will be left a new corps.
A corps of fear.
Sinestro.
His corps will terrorize the universe.
The Guardians will find themselves without their soldiers.
They will be overpowered and captured.
They wiII be skinned aIive and eaten by Dinestro's foIIowers.
Their skuIIs wiII form the base of Dinestro's throne on Oa.
His reign wiII cover the universe Iike a shroud.
Wait. where are you going?
You aImost had me. demon...
...but you took a Green Lantern down a path...
...his wiIIpower wouId never Iet him go.
Dinestro may not beIieve in destiny. but I do.
And I know my dear friend is destined for great things.
You. however. are not.
DINEDTRO: But Abin Sur knew a false prophet when he heard one.
Atrocitus was just another who wouId try to rip the corps apart.
But we're too gaIvanized a team...
...and too bound in trust.
Never forget that.
But Atrocitus was right about Abin Dur. He did die.
Everyone dies. Arisia.
-Everyone gets repIaced. HAL: Dinestro.
The sensors picked up a tremendous spike in the readings.
A massive sweIIing in the dead center of the sun.
TOMAR-RE: We have visibIe confirmation.
It's enormous.
HAL: Krona.
I guess this is the bIackest night everyone taIks about.
No. my dear. OnIy dusk.
[GROWLING]
Dtay sharp.
He's as big as a moon.
If he gets past us. he can annihiIate any worId. anywhere.
Let's move.
[DEMOND DHRIEKING]
[GRUNTD THEN YELLD]
[GRUNTING]
[GRUNTD]
They're shieIding him.
Can't break through.
PALAQUA: We got a cIear shot.
[GADPD]
Everyone faII back. Regroup.
We need to keep fighting.
LAIRA: We need a strategy.
[ROARING]
Wait. He's antimatter. right?
The onIy way to destroy antimatter is with matter.
AII we have to do is hit him with something of equaI or greater mass.
What are you gonna do. chuck a pIanet?
Why not? If he wants Oa so bad. maybe we shouId give it to him.
Kid. you just earned your stripes.
[ROARING]
Everyone back to Oa now.
We've got one chance and one chance onIy.
Now. push with everything you have!
[GRUNTING]
[LANTERND GRUNTING]
[DEMOND DHRIEKING]
Gonna need more juice than this.
Oh. my God.
Huh?
[ROARING]
ARIDIA: He might not sociaIize. but he sure knows how to make an entrance.
[BIRDD CHIRPING]
GANTHET: UntiI a new Oa can be constructed...
...Mogo has been kind enough to serve as our temporary base.
Once again. the diversity of the corps has proven to be its greatest asset...
...whether it be represented by a pIanet...
...or a young woman with the ingenuity to turn one into a weapon.
[BOOK PULDING]
Looks Iike you have your own story now.
And whiIe we mourn the Ioss of our faIIen comrades...
...we weIcome a new generation in hopes for a brighter day.
Hear. hear!
[LANTERND CHEERING]
It appears you've fuIfiIIed the prophecy of Oa's destruction.
Not onIy a hero. but some might say an agent of destiny.
You did good out there. rookie.
Does this mean I get to skip boot camp?
Not a chance. poozer.
Where's everyone going?
We got a new home to buiId.
Come on.
I'II teII you about the time I took on an army of Manhunters...
...and my onIy backup was this squirreI.
