Green Lantern's Light

Morning rose as Twilight tried to get a few more seconds of sleep. She lost the battle and opened her eyes. She got out of bed, made it with her magic, and walked up to her mirror. Twilight saw that she had bed hair and picked up her brush to fix it. Twilight set her brush down before covering her yawn with her hoof. Then she noticed the ring on her hoof. Twilight looked at it before remembering what happened last night. Twilight used her magic to bring out the lantern from the hidden door she got as well. She set it down and tried to remember what she heard.

"You are now a Green Lantern. The ring… has chosen you… to serve in the Corps… It is a great honor… Say the oath while the ring on the lantern to... recharge your... ring."

"What oath?" Twilight said out loud.

Twilight looked at the lantern before deciding to try and figure it out. She first put the ring on the lantern and took a deep breath.

"Um, I, um, Twilight Sparkle, welcome the power of the Lantern to help me." She said and nothing happened.

Twilight sighed and tried again.

"By the power of the Princesses, I, Twilight Sparkle will do what I can to protect my home."

Still nothing.

She removed her hoof and groaned.

"Come on! What is the oath?! I was never told it! It not like a Green Lantern light..." Twilight started to say before the lantern gave off an glow.

Twilight stare at the lantern before her eyes turned green and the oath appeared in her mind.

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light."

No sooner than she finished, a voice called out to her.

"Twilight! Are you going to have breakfast?"  She heard.

Her eyes faded back to her normal color and said, "I be right down!"

She turned back to the lantern and hid it back in it’s hiding place. She then turned and walked downstairs. Her ring gave off a slight glow before fading. Twilight got to the table and sat down as Spike handed her a plate of hay pancakes.

"Thanks Spike." twilight said before covering another yawn with her hoof.

Spike notices the ring on Twilight’s hoof and thought it was funny because Twilight wasn't the kind of pony to accessorize, sometimes.

"So Twilight, where did you get that ring?" He asked.

Twilight knew she had to speak to Spike about it, but not now.

"Can it wait Spike?", Twilight said, "I want see what I can find out about it, before I say anything about it."

Spike sigh and nods. As Twilight ate, he heard her talking as if he wasn't there.

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light. What does that mean?" She said to herself.

"Twilight, are you ok?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, just thinking about the ring." Twilight said.

"Ok, what was those words you just said?" Spike asked again.

"An oath." Twilight answered.

"An oath?" Spike repeated with a raised eyebrow.

"It just appears in my mind when I had the ring touch the lantern." Twilight explained.

"Lantern? Twilight you sure you weren't dreaming?" Spike asked a third time.

"Spike! I wasn't dreaming!" Twilight nearly yelled.

"Ok, ok! Take it easy." Spike said holding up his claws.

Twilight sighed and cleaned her plate before turning back to Spike.

"Spike! I'm going out. Watch the library while I'm gone." She said as she left.

Twilight walked through Ponyville seeing it was busy like every other day. A few ponies noticed Twilight's ring and even asked where she got it. Twilight figured no one would believe her if she said "I got it from a dragon dressed in green in a strange ship like thing that died last night." So she told them that it was a old toy she had as a filly and was surprised that it fit her now. The ponies bought it, but Twilight was sure she was going to be bombed with questions once the strange ship was found. Twilight walked to the outskirts of Ponyville, hoping to clear her head a bit. Twilight sat down near a cliff and look over the view of the land. Twilight may be the one to read books all the time, but every once in a while, she liked to look around and enjoy the sight for a while.

Just as Twilight was about to leave, her ring started blinking. Twilight saw it and watched as it surrounded her in a green like shield and shot her into the sky. Twilight was becoming afraid and tried to teleport back home. When she used the spell, she reappeared back in the shield. Twilight tried again and again until she was too tired to cast any spells. It was then Twilight noticed the stars and was confused.

It can't be night time already. Twilight thought as she looked around.

She wasn't sure, but she spotted some huge land mass cover in the clouds behind her, before she noticed that it was her planet and she was moving away from it.

Whats going on? Twilight thought as she looked for a way to get out and back home.

She couldn't find one and just let the ring do whatever it was doing. She didn't even have the time to look at all the stars because she was moving too fast. After for what felt like hours, Twilight spotted a new planet she never saw before. It was green and it had the same symbol as the one on the ring she wore. The symbol looked like it was etched into the landscape, along with a massive band around the planet. Making it look like a forest of some kind. As she got closer, she felt her eyelids get heavy. She was tired after casting the same spell so many times and fought to stay awake, but lost the battle and fell asleep.

Twilight opened her eyes to see she was in a strange bed. She rose her hoof to rub the sleep out of her eyes and she noticed it was white. She looked at all four of her hooves to see the were all white. She looked over to a wall that reflected her image like a mirror and saw she was wearing the same green that Coma-Sui was wearing, but her legs and flank were covered in black and the same symbol as her ring on her chest. She even saw a mask covering her eyes. The only thing that was not changed, was her mane, tail, and horn. (See the cover for the look). Twilight looked over the suit and she admitted that Rarity would love the design.

“Comfortable?” She heard a voice and turned her head to the voice.

It was nothing like Coma-Sui, instead it looked something like a large monkey, an animal that she had seen at Fluttershy’s cottage once. This one, however, looked to be about six feet tall, and had almost no fur. The only fur it did have was brown, and on the top of its head. It sounded masculine, so she assumed he was male. Anything else about his face she couldn't determine, since he wore a mask. Twilight raised an eyebrow before her mask disappeared.

"It’s ok, There no need for it here." It said ask the mask also disappeared showing it’s eyes and that they were blue (I couldn't find anything about Hal's real eye color, so I make them up for now).

"Who are you?" Twilight asked.

"Name’s Hal, Hal Jordan, Green Lantern of Sector 2814, human. I’m guessing you have a lot of questions, so why don't we get some grub?” He said then asked.

"Huh? Whats grub?" Twilight ask confused, even a little weirded out that she can understand him.

"Just an expression, miss. It means food. We have a decent cafeteria here, even if they can't make a burger to save their lives. I'm sure they'll have something you can chow on, though.” Hal explained.

"By the way Hal, how is it I can understand you?" Twilight asked.

"It’s the rings miss. They act as universal translators, interpreting incoming and outgoing language and making it sound like a language the listener can understand.” Hal explained.

"OK, that does make sense." Twilight said a little excited about speaking other languages and understand them.

"So what you name?" Hal asked.

"Oh, Twilight Sparkle. Student of Princess Celestia of Equestria where I'm from." Twilight said.

"Equestria, Equestria, where have I heard that name before?" Hal asked before his ring spoke up.

"Equestria is the name of a land on an planet in sector 0236. A peaceful planet with only a few dangers, but none big enough for the Guardians to worry about." It said.

"Did your ring just speak?" Twilight asked surprised.

"Yeah, it’s filled with knowledge that has the wearer know themselves. I was confused about that at first, but it’s very helpful for things you don't understand." Hal explained.

"How much knowledge do our rings have?" Twilight asked.

"Well, from what I was told, everything in all the universes." Hal said thinking about it.

Twilight just stood there in shock on what she just heard. The rings hold knowledge about all universes? That has more then Princess Celestia! Twilight could not believe she held something that has so much knowledge.

"Hey, easy there. Having that much is great and all, but you gotta put it to good use." Hal explained seeing the look on her face.

Twilight quickly realized she was going into smart mode again and took a breath to calm herself.

"Sorry about that Hal, even since I became Princess Celestia student, I just couldn't stop learning about so many things. My friend Rainbow Dash calls me Egghead because of it." Twilight explained.

"Hm, fit you well." Hal said.

Twilight rolled her eyes before turning back Hal.

"So where are we?" Twilight asked.

Hal smiled and said, "Follow me."

Twilight follow Hal until they reached outside where Twilight saw tall buildings everywhere and they were green.

"Where am I?" She ask.

"Welcome to Oa, the home of the Green Lanterns Corps." Hal said.
