The White Light Of Creation

Previous Chapter

"In brightest day, in brightest night, let my ring shine the brightest light. When evil comes, I will join the fight. The power of the White Lanterns is the strongest might!"

A White Power Ring is the most powerful type of Power Ring, which themselves are one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. The white light is the first light and in essence, all of the other colors of the emotional spectrum combined. As such, a user of a white ring can generate any color of the emotional spectrum and use the powers of each color. White Power Rings can "override" rings of other colors, temporarily turning them into White Power Rings also. White Power Rings also have the notable power to bring deceased beings back from the dead. Time travel is possible with the power ring, though the further forward in time a ring wielder travels, the more will it takes. A White Lantern in distress can use their power ring as an emergency beacon. The alert can be directed to an another Lantern's neighboring sector, or it can be a Corps-wide alert. A homing beacon in the power ring can lead one White Lantern to another. The ring can be ordered to disguise itself to elude power ring wielding trackers. Most often ring wielders will allow the beacon to signal their location to others. The full extent of the White Power Rings is unknown. Presumably, they have the standard powers and functions as rings of other colors. It appears that a White Lantern Power Ring can recharge itself when the bearer embraces life, like when Deadman went for a joyride on a motorcycle. In DC Comics, the only known White Lantern is Kyle Rayner.

Twilight blasted Nekron with white light from her horn, but Nekron used his scythe's blade to block it. "Wait, I thought I destroyed that thing!", Rainbow Dash shouted as she rammed into the Lord of the Unliving.

"My Black Lantern Power Ring allows me to repair my scythe!", Nekron growled as he punched Rainbow Dash. Spike breathed white fire, which burned Nekron's back, but Nekron quickly extinguished the flames. Applejack constructed a lasso and caught Nekron, but the Lord of the Unliving simply broke through the binding. Rarity created multiple crystals and engulfed Nekron, but he shattered through the minerals. Fluttershy constructed a massive tree above Nekron, but he simply dodged it as it fell and faded. Pinkie Pie constructed a cannon and fired a cannonball, but Nekron punched through the cannonball.

"Guys, we have to get that ring off of him!", Spike shouted. Twilight and Rarity constructed whips that grabbed Nekron's ankles, immobilizing him. However, he destroyed the constructs easily with his scythe. He then blasted the White Lanterns, dealing some damage to them. He blasted them repeatedly until Twilight put up a force field. However, it was quickly destroyed as Nekron continued his onslaught of pain. Suddenly, Nekron screamed as his hands were chopped off by his own scythe. An energy twin of Spike wielded the scythe. This allowed the White Lanterns to permanently destroy the scythe with their energy. However, Nekron's hands reattached themselves to his severed wrists. He blasted the White Lanterns, but Twilight blasted her own energy at Nekron, causing the two streams of energy to collide. However, Nekron was too powerful, so Rarity assisted Twilight, but two wasn't enough. Spike joined the unicorns, and Rainbow Dash followed. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie then joined, and the unified White Lanterns were able to push back Nekron's stream of energy back into his ring.

"No... how is this possible?!", Nekron growled as he blasted the heroes.

"Again!", Spike shouted as the White Lanterns countered the attack, repeating what they just did.

"I will not be bested by White Lanterns!", Nekron growled as he blasted the heroes again.

"One more time!", Spike shouted as the White Lanterns countered the attack, repeating what they just did. The Black Lantern Power Ring began shaking as it became overloaded with energy. It ultimately exploded, sending a wave of white energy towards the White Lanterns. "Yes!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!", Nekron shouted as the heroes all approached the Lord of the Unliving. "No matter what, I'll still destroy..." Before he could finish his sentence, a massive construct crushed the supervillain.

"What is that?", Applejack asked.

"The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. An advanced long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft capable of Mach 3 and an altitude of 85,000 feet!", Rainbow Dash answered.

"You sure do seem to know a lot about it", Twilight said.

"DO YOU EVEN READ MY CHRISTMAS LIST?!?!", Rainbow Dash asked. Before anyone could answer, however, the Dead Zone began to collapse as the aircraft construct faded, leaving behind Nekron's corpse. Rainbow Dash created a blood portal and the seven heroes ran through as the blood portal closed behind them and the Dead Zone stopped collapsing.

Back in Equestria, the White Lanterns emerged from the blood portal which closed behind them. Equestria looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland at the moment, but nothing too serious. The White Lantern Power Rings and White Lantern Power Bracelets floated off, causing the bodysuits to disappear.

"Well... now what?", Applejack asked.

"I think... we let the Lanterns do the rest", Twilight answered.

"Fine by me", Rainbow Dash replied.

"That was crazy!", Pinkie Pie added.

"I just hope that guy doesn't come back", Fluttershy replied.

"He's not coming back. We destroyed his Black Lantern Power Ring", Spike responded.

"Well... at least everything's back to normal", Rarity said. The seven heroes shared a laugh.

In Hell, buried underneath some rubble, one of Nekron's hands emerged from the debris. He stood up. "What is this?! WHERE AM I?!", Nekron shouted. A laugh was heard. Lucifer Samuel Morningstar, otherwise known as the Devil of the DC Universe, approached the Lord of the Unliving.

"Well, well, well", Lucifer said. "Look who's finally here. Looks like I get the last laugh." He incinerated Nekron, finally killing the Lord of the Unliving, who roared in agony as his final second was spent.
