The forgotten time and a new hero

The forgotten time and a new hero

In the far reaches of space, where the war of light rages as a single green ring with a wielder no more waits for the next. All across this frontier space rings wait for new owners, all waiting for the war to reignite. The Orange light of Greed, the pink light of love, the red light of Rage, the yellow light of Fear, the blue light of hope, the green light of will, the purple light of compassion, the black light of death, and the white light of life.
The orange light has but one member, Larfleze.
The orange lantern corp was created by an unknown source the corp is comprised of constructs made by larfleeze.
The pink lantern corp was forged by the Zamarons, they harness the power of love and use it to help people.
The red lantern corp was forged by Atrosatice. When the guardians first attempt to help the universe, aka the man hunters, destroyed the red lantern corps sector. Atrosatice forged the red ring out of pure rage.

The yellow lantern corp was made by Sinestro a former green lantern. When a guardian entered the yellow chamber he turned into the creature known as parallax, in an attempt to fight fire with fire Sinestro convinced the guardians to forge a yellow lantern ring. The sinestro corp is the direct enemy of the green power of Will.

The blue lantern corp was forged by a guardian that had been banished. The blue light increases the power of the green corp and are allies.

The green lantern corp was forged by the guardians of Oa. The green power of will is used to keep the peace throughout the galaxy.

The indigo tribe was forged by Abin Sur, they are allies with the green and blue lantern corps.

The black and white lantern corps are inactive, the black lanterns wishes to bring about the blackest night, and the white lantern corp stops them. (In all honesty I don't know that much about these two corps.)

“New wielder detected!” A green ring beeped flying off, the war of light has started again.
Meanwhile
On the planet eques, there is a tan Earth pony mare with a cutie mark of a heart and baby bottle on her hip named Elaina was sending her son off to school.
“Have a good day Button Mash.” She called with a wave.
“Thanks Mom!” Button called back, running to the school yard. He looked around shyly, having played video games nearly all his life he was scared of basically everything except his friends.
He felt somepony push past him rough. “Move it Mash!” Diamond Tiara said harshly, walking passed him. Button mash whimpered, slowing down a little before a reptilian arm wrapped around him.
“Don't worry about her man.” A low voice told him.
“Oh… hey spike.” Button mash said smiling at his tall friend. Spike was wearing a green hoodie, and dark blue pants with his long spikes behind him.
“So what's up?” Spike asked, as sweetie Belle and the crusaders walked by. Spike smirked at the blush on Mash’s face. “Oh I see.”
“W-what!?” He asked blushing.
“Nothing!” Spike laughed. Ms. Cheerilee was waiting outside the school house with a school bus, they all had completely forgotten about the field trip to the mountains. “Oh yeah! This is going to be fun!” Spike said.
“No kidding.” Button said to Spike who was sitting behind him.
“Hey Button Mash.” Sweetie Belle greeted as she sat down next to him. He blushed, getting as close to the window as possible.
“H-hi S-sweetie b-belle.” He said squirming.
She raised a eyebrow at him. “Is something wrong Mash?” Belle asked him.
“N-no.” He said shuffling and looking out the window as Spike chuckled.
She stared for a few moments before shrugging it off. “Morning Spike.” Sweetie greeted the dragon.
“Sup Belle.” Spike smiled.
“So you guys excited about the field trip?” She continued, looking between the boys.
“Totally!” Spike said excitedly.
“I-i Don't know.” Button mash said.
“Come on man, stop being afraid of everything!” spike said exhausted. Button looked out the window sadly, Spike was his best friend and now even he was messing with button about his fears.
“Yeah, there's nothing to be scared of!” Sweetie Belle said to him, patting his back. Button just continued to look out the window, he had always been afraid of everything… except video games. He couldn't help it, he didn't know why he was so afraid, he only knew he couldn't overcome it.
“Leave me alone…” He said in a low voice. Sweetie Belle just sighed and kept quiet, knowing how this conversation always goes. Spike sighed as well, sitting back in his seat.
“We're not trying to be mean.” Spike said.
“You just made fun of me for being afraid.” Button said.
“Button, you can’t keep accusing us of that when we bring it up.” Sweeties said, sounding just a little annoyed. “Do you see us smirking or laughing? We’re trying to help.”
“We're going to the mountains.” Button said. “There can be, Rock slides, it could be an ancient volcano and could still have magma in it, it's right next to the everfree forest and we could be attacked by any of the creatures that live in it. And you're telling me to not be afraid?” He asked annoyed.
“That's why the teacher told us to stay with the group and not to go too far AND to stay away from any cliff, above or below.” She retorted, patting his head again. “You really need to relax, its not like their not aware or prepared for the stuff.”
“And I can't do that!” Button said surprisingly loud. “It's just not me!” He said looking back out the window. “And Spike knows that!”
Spike slumped in his seat, head down. He and button had been friends for five years now, and Spike knew Button couldn't overcome his fears. He had seen him try so many times to tell sweetie Belle how he felt, but he never could.
Sweetie repress a frustrated groan and just slumped into her seat and pulled out her GamePo, turning it on.
“Sorry Button.” Spike said, Button sighed pulling out his own GamePo.
“PVP?” Sweetie said with a slight challenging look on her face faced at him.
“Your on!” Button smiled excitedly as they began playing.
“Awe you two are a cute couple.” Spike smiled, making button blush and accidentally lose.
Sweetie blushed a bit, but gave him a small glare. “Come on Spike, don’t distract us!” She said as she pressed the rematch button.
“What? Afraid I'll embarrass you in front of your boyfriend?” Spike smirked, making Sweetie Belle blush and lose this time.
“Spike!” Sweetie yelled, flustering more as she glared.
“Now see you wouldn't be reacting like this unless it's True.” Spike laughed, Button was blushing frozen in place as he stared at his GamePo.
“Oh shut up, you're ruining our game!” She waved a fist at him.
“Oh no!” Spike said in mock shock. “Sorry you and your boyfriend can't play around.”
“Spike!” She growled at him, floating one of his text books from his bag and had it land on his head.
“Ok, ok!” Spike yelled holding his head, Button still blushing and looking shyly at the ground.
“Good!” She said, calming down before sighing. “Round three Button Mash?” Button was still blushing, looking at the ground lost in thought. Spike snickered, trying not to laugh. “Button?” She poked him on the shoulder. He blinked.
“Y-yeah!” He said starting round three.
Sweetie giggled a bit before playing competitively. “I won’t lose you hear?”
“Right back at you!” Button said as they both started playing, over time they slowly got closer to each other, their Gamepos touching.
“Oh just kiss already.” Spike said, making them both blush and look at each other as their game ended in a tie.
“...Ties good.” Sweetie said, pulling away a bit.
“Y-yeah.” Button said, putting his gamepo away. The bus pulled up to the mountain, as Ms. Cheerilee spoke.
“Ok class, we're breaking up into groups of four. Whosoever next to you and behind you is your partner, Spike, Button, and sweetie Belle you'll be a team of three.” She told them.
Sweetie nodded, not bothered by that. “Kay!”
“Alright.” Spike said not caring.
“Ok.” Button said meekly.
“Awe sweetie Belle gets to work with her boyfriend!” Scootaloo chuckled pl
“Awe come on, whatever!” Sweetie said in annoyance. “Leave it be or do I have to give you a boot to the head?”
“Ah come-on Belle, you know she's playing.” Applebloom said chuckling, the two of them working with Dinky hooves, and Rumble.
“Yeah, come on.” Rumble said, backing her up. Sweetie just rolled her eyes and said nothing in response.
“Come on guys.” Spike said leading them to the entrance of a cave.
“Right, right.” Sweetie said, walking after him. Buttons face was frozen as he subconsciously followed them.
“Woah, pretty cool cave.” Rumble said, looking around with an excited grin.
“Whoa.” Button said looking around, glancing at sweetie Belle and decided to go in first
“Wow, look who's starting to be brave.” Spike chuckled.
“ Quiet, don’t sike him out.” Sweetie told him in a hushed tone.
“What?” Button asked looking around.
“Nothing.” She replied smoothly, walking over to him. “See anything you like?”
“Yes.” He said looking at her, blushing and coughing.
Sweetie Belle didn’t notice the look. “You okay?” She said with a tilt of her head. Button nodded, going deeper into the cave with Spike and Belle, before the ground began to shake lightly.
“Woah what’s happening!?!” Rumble shouted as the ground, well, rumbled.
“No idea, but we can’t stay!” Sweetie responded. The ground shook more, the ceiling breaking and separating spike, Sweetie Belle, and button from the others.
“Everyone ok!?” Spike called.
“Yeah sweetie Belle?” Button asked, his arms around her protectively.
She groaned a bit. “Yeah, bit of rock hit me on the head but I’ll be fine.”
“Good.” Button smiled, before the ground shook more revealing a pack of Timberwolves and a tunnel.
Sweetie whimpered a bit. “Not good.”
Button looked at her, and back to Spike who was shaking just as much. “My friends….. No!!” Button thought before running towards the Timberwolves. “Both of you get out of here!!”
“Button, what are you doing?!” She shouted.
“I'm protecting you!” Button yelled back, sliding under a Timberwolf, before getting them to chase him.
“Wow… he's braver than we thought.” Spike said.
“Or stupid, he’s going to get himself killed!” Sweetie shirek, looking ready to dash after him.
“He's protecting the one he's in love with.” Spike said, making Sweetie Belle stop dead. “Didn't you notice all the looks and things he gave you?”
“Yeah, so?! That doesn’t change the fact that HE’S GOING TO DIE!” Sweetie Belle empathises. “Save the lovey dovey talk for later and help me get him out of there!”
“Turn around.” Spike said.
“What do you-” She stopped mid sentence.
“Hey.” Button said walking up to them, his clothes torn and him holding an arm.
“How…?” Sweetie said, gaping at him.
“There's a cazum back there, I waited till they were close and jumped out of the way when they pounced.” Button said wincing.
Sweetie shook her head then ran up to him. “Are you okay?!”
“I guess so.” Button said wincing again.
“No your not, come on sit down and let me see.” She insisted, poking his chest a bit.
Button blushed a little, sitting down and letting her check him out. Sweetie looked over him, only finding a few scratches and bruises. “You look fine...why were you wincing like that? I thought there was something worse.” She didn’t sound mad, just curious.
“It's sore.” He said chuckling nervously.
“Well that was still really cool dude, nice one.” Spike smiled.
“That was amazing… but still stupid, you could’ve hurt yourself.” Sweetie told him, hugging him a bit. Button blushed, nodding a little.
Spike smiled at the scene, noticing a green light emanating from Buttons hand. “What's that?” Spike asked.
“Button Mash, there’s something glowing on your hand.” Sweetie pointed to it.
Button opened his hand, revealing a green ring with a symbol of a circle with two lines, one on top and one on bottom. “When the Timberwolves jumped at me and I ducked under them as they fell this ring came from a hole in the ceiling, it beeped before it spoke.”
“Spoke?” Sweetie repeated, holding a hand to his head. “You didn’t hit your head did you? Rings don’t talk.”
“This unit is capable of speech.”The ring beeped.
“WHAT THE HECK!” Sweetie yelled loudly, falling backs in surprise.
“Wow.” Spike said.
“This unit is apart of the green lantern Corp, it is my responsibility to find those who are able to overcome great fear and show them how to protect their section of space. Button mash has been chosen to use this unit do to his ability to overcomehis fear of the Timberwolves to save you two.”
Sweetie blinked. “Green Lanturn Corp? What does a gasoline-powered light have to do with bravery?” She said.
“Negative, this unit runs off the power of will.”
“Will?” Spike asked.
“Affirmative, this unit connects to the main battery cell on owa and uses the power of will to aid Button mash.”
“Why ‘Green Lanterns though’? What is this corp anyways?” Sweetie continued to question.
“We are the protectors of the universe, wherever there is evil we stand against it to keep the peace.”
“So you're a superhero now!?” Spike asked button mash.
“I guess so.” Button said blinking.
Sweetie was gobsmacked. “This is… this is amazing!” She said, her inner child rushing through. “My friends a super cool superhero!” She bounced a bit, again hugging him.
Button blushed deeply, chuckling.
“But as you know we can't let anyone else know.” Spike said.
“Aw, that's right…” Sweetie said morosely. “I mean can’t have villians finding you out and using us as levage. I wonder if the Corps have enemies themselves…” She muttered that last bit.
“Affirmative, there is a grand total of eight lantern corps, the green, blue, red, yellow, pink, purple, black, and white each one represents an emotion. The green Corp is Will, blue, hope, red, rage, yellow fear, orange greed, pink love, purple compassion, black death, and white is life, yellow and red are the main enemies of the green lantern Corp.”
“But the rest are allies? Except Black I guess?” Sweetie asked, her curiosity going crazy with all this info so much so that the identification of Black representing death had not properly been processed.
“not necessarily, the orange energy is of greed. But yes black is the ultimate evil of the lanterns, however the black and white corps are inactive.”
“That’s good…” Sweetie said in relief, now the fear of Black registering.
Button chuckled at the information out of uncomfortableness as he slipped the ring on his finger. It sent a Green flash through him as his clothes and shoes turned green with the same insignia of the lantern corp on his chest.

“What is that, some kind of battle suit?” The young girl continued.
“How about we get out of this cave first?” Button asked, creating a drill. “Ya know that's easier than I expected.”
“Yeah on both.” Sweetie continued.
“Well the ring did say will it into being.” Spike said as button started drilling, clearing away the rocks.
“Good, no one's around.” Button said removing his ring, returning to normal.
“So...Ring, is there anything we should know?” Sweetie Belle said. “Like energy, weaknesses, that kind of stuff?”
“That's classified for wielder only.”
“Alright, I'll ask later for now let's get back to the others.” Button said.
“Speaking of which, where are the others?” Sweetie Belle said.,
“Ah found em!!!!” Applebooms voice shouted, her and the rest of the class running up to the three.
“Are you three alright!?” Cheerilee asked.
“We're fine.” Spike said.
“Yeah, we’re fine mis Cheerilee.” Sweetie said, smiling. “Button Mash is a bit beat up though, some scratches and bruises.”
“What happened?” Cheerilee asked.
“You wouldn't believe us.” Spike said.
Sweetie Belle nodded. “Yeah, what he said.”
“Try me.” Cheerilee Said.
“Yeah common.” Scootaloo said, applebloom nodding. Button chuckled, taking spikes a d sweetie Belle by the arms and pulling them onto the bus.
“I'm going to need a favor spike.” Button asked.
“Yeah?” Spike replayed.
“Can you see if princess Celestia knows anything about this ring?” He asked, wanting to know as much as possible.
“I can try, I mean they're supposed to be at the castle later anyway.” Spike said.
“How come, she visiting or something?” Sweetie asked.
“Well yeah, she has to check in on Twilight, plus she's basically my mom so she's visiting me.” Spike said shrugging.
“Sweet… let's hope she can spread some light on the situation.” Button said looking out the window.
She waved it off. “Don’t worry she will. She Princess Celestia after all.”
“What makes you so certain?” Button asked.
Sweetie Belle shrugged. “I don’t. I just have a lot of faith in her.”
Button chuckled, looking up at the sky again. He blinked when he saw a blue light fly in the direction of ponyville, wondering just what was coming next. He didn't know that he was now a player in the war of light, unaware of the battles to come.
Chap end.
