You who are wicked, evil and mean, I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen! Come one, come all, put up a fight! I'll pound your butts with Green Lantern's light! Yowza.

The Green Lantern power rings use Oan energy (supplied by a Green Lantern Power Battery) which in most cases takes the form of green light. A Green Lantern's ring, considered to be one of, if not the most powerful weapon in the universe, has the ability to affect and use fundamental forces of the known universe, including gravity, radiation, heat, light, and blasts of concussive force. It is also theorized that the ring also has a basis in other dimensional energies commonly called magic by users of such energies. The ring can also create fields of force formed from an unknown energy that was bound by the users' will. The limitations of such use are the skill, knowledge and imagination of the user. The ring can form constructs of Oan energy. The primary function of the Power Ring is to provide a weapon capable of transforming the wearer's thoughts into physical constructs through the wearer's strength of willpower. A Green Lantern can create any particular items or construct that they can imagine as long as they have the willpower necessary to will it into existence. The constructs are made out of green energy, which is a tangible form of pure willpower, and they exist only as long as a Green Lantern is fueling it with their willpower. Items created by the rings are not indestructible and are only as powerful as the willpower of the Green Lantern creating them. The types of constructs usually reflects the ring wearer's personality. Formerly, the rings needed to be charged after a period of one planetary axial rotation (dependent on each ring's location), regardless of how often it was used. Currently, the rings retain a charge until they run out of power. This variability ensures that the wearer takes great effort to keep it charged. The rings can be programmed. They are coded to the wearer to make them unusable if stolen. The ring will refuse to take an action that would kill a being unless they are on Oa or with permission. The Guardians, however, removed the lethal force prohibition, first to allow lethal force against members of the Sinestro Corps, then against all enemies of the Green Lantern Corps.

It was a good thing the Guardians removed the lethal force prohibition, because multiple zombified ponies were honing in on the barn. Applejack, with her ring already activated, acrobatically flipped out of her bedroom and used her new powers to construct a rope, which she used to swing around like Batman. She kicked a zombie in the face, knocking it back. She then constructed eight hovering knives and stabbed eight more zombies. "Ya'll might have a better chance if y'all used fear or rage!", Applejack boasted.

Formerly, the rings were unable to directly affect yellow. Now, a wearer can bypass this if they can accept fear, which is personified by the color yellow. Rookie lanterns are more susceptible to fear and thus vulnerable to the color yellow. The Red Light can corrupt the aura of a Green Lantern, draining the power of a Green Lantern Ring. Red Rage Vulnerability has since been shown to be subject to the same restrictions as Yellow Impurity. While it will have a direct affect, its ability to entirely alter the user is dependent on the Green Lantern's ability to understand, accept, and control their rage.

Nekron appeared from a portal and the zombified ponies bowed down. "A Green Lantern. A new fly in my endless web", Nekron said. "Let's see how tough you really are." He leaped high into the air and slashed it, creating multiple portals and a massive wave of pony Black Lanterns ran through, ready for battle. However, Applejack was more than a match for the zombies and quickly eliminated them with constructed water. She then disarmed Nekron by blasting the scythe out of his hand. "Argh!"

"Prepare to die!", Applejack shouted as she prepared to blast her opponent with beams of Green Lantern energy coming from her eyes.

"I'm already dead", Nekron quipped as Applejack unleashed her fury. However, the lasers did no damage.

"Okay, then. I'll tear you apart!", Applejack screamed as she constructed eight arms and ripped Nekron's arms and legs off his body.

"Not yet!", Nekron replied as he reassembled himself. "I already told you... I'M ALREADY DEAD!" He used his Black Lantern Ring to construct a massive double-edged sword. However, the arms gave Applejack a boost into the air and grabbed the sword, slicing the villain in half. However, Nekron reassembled himself and grabbed the pony, slamming her into the ground. Applejack them bombarded Nekron with multiple punches from the arms, eventually delivering an uppercut, sending Nekron flying and freeing Applejack. Both Applejack and Nekron knew this battle would end in a draw, since a Green Lantern's weaknesses are fear and rage, and a Black Lantern's weakness is life, the emotion of the White Lantern. After Nekron landed, he grabbed his scythe and stabbed Applejack in the heart, but the Green Lantern wasn't affected by the attack. "You're strong, but it's time to end this!" He dug the scythe deeper into Applejack's chest, but Applejack wasn't about to give up so easily. She charged her bracelet up and unleashed a powerful blast of energy, sending Nekron flying into oblivion. Unbeknownst to Applejack, however, Nekron sliced the air, creating a portal, and escaped.

"Well... that was nuts", Applejack said as the wound healed and the arms dissipated. "I hope the others aren't having trouble mastering their Rings and bracelets." Twilight then approached Applejack. "I take it you mastered your ring?"

"Yes, but Nekron attacked me", Twilight replied.

"Same here", Applejack said. "We need to get the others if we want to stop this guy."

"He'll go after Fluttershy next. Let's go", Twilight said. She and Applejack flew towards Fluttershy's cottage.
