"What's mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!"

Weapon of the Orange Lantern Corps, an Orange Lantern Ring is powered by the orange light of avarice. Larfleeze is the only one who actually wears one of these rings, as everyone else in the Orange Lantern Corps were assimilated into the orange central power battery and only exist as constructs. There are many other orange rings, but while the other six corps send their rings out to find worthy wielders of their light, Larfleeze keeps his horded away in his lair on Okaara, laying unused in a massive pile. During The Blackest Night, the various Lantern Corps united to fight off the threat of the Black Lantern Corps. After their failure in destroying the Black Lantern Central Power Battery, Ganthet activated a programming present within all power rings which duplicated them and find another wearer thus increasing their numbers to fight the Black Lanterns. An Orange Lantern Power Ring was one of the many duplicated and departed Agent Orange despite his attempts at reclaiming it. This ring went across Earth and found Lex Luthor who was being besieged by Black Lanterns of all those he had killed and turned Luthor into a member of the Orange Lantern Corps. An Orange Lantern Ring can charge a maximum of 100,000% energy level by charging from an Orange Power Battery, this gives it a energy level worlds beyond any other Lantern Corps Ring. Avarice can erode Will, but it cannot consume Hope. Therefore Orange Lantern Power Rings cannot absorb the energy from a Blue Lantern Power Ring. In fact, an Orange Lantern can be saved from their ring by a Blue Lantern. Orange Lanterns are plagued with an insatiable hunger, which they can never satisfy. This hunger, however, does subside in the presence of an active Blue Lantern Power Ring. True Love is not affected by Avarice, thus Orange Lantern Power Rings cannot absorb the energy from a Star Sapphire Ring. The Orange rings have the unique ability to absorb the constructs of other ring wielders. The power is so great that even constructs made by the likes of the Guardians of the Universe can be absorbed. It seems as though no form of energy is exempt from this ability as they also can absorb magic.

Larfleeze, who was tracking an Orange Lantern Power Ring, found the Mane Six (with Rainbow Dash still feasting on her prey). "More Lanterns? Impossible", he said, astonished. "I am Larfleeze, the only Orange Lantern to ever exist." Before he could continue speaking, however, Sweetie Belle turned into a Black Lantern. To make matters worse, Nekron's army began circling the Carousel Boutique. Larfleeze created a force field engulfing him and the Mane Six as Nekron approached them. He striked the force field with his scythe, but an Orange Lantern's power is immense.

"Hey!", someone shouted. Nekron turned towards the noise to find Spike in an orange bodysuit and wielding the Orange Lantern Power Ring that Larfleeze was looking for.

"Another Orange Lantern?! Then this will be TWICE as much fun!", Nekron said as he leaped at the dragon, who breathed fire at the Lord of the Unliving, which provided a smokescreen for Spike, who constructed a hammer and bashed Nekron. "Argh!"

"Orange you glad I arrived?", Spike asked the Mane Six. The ponies all groaned at the pun while Larfleeze simply facepalmed. "Aw, come on! That was a good..." He couldn't finish his sentence as Nekron stabbed the dragon in the chest... except that was an Orange Lantern clone. The real Spike delivered an extremely powerful punch to Nekron's face, sending the supervillain flying through the sky. Spike descended and landed in front of the force field, which faded.

"Maybe... I can let one ring go", Larfleeze said. "Those who are recruited into the corps are infected with greed like a disease. They are incapable of thought or action other than to take whatever they want from another. However, it seems as if Spike here has control over his impulses. I must go now. I bid you seven good luck." Larfleeze flew off.

At Twilight's castle...

"If we're going to take down Nekron, we have to figure out where he gets his power from", Twilight said.

"But we have ZERO information on this guy, other than the fact that he wants to turn Equestria into Zombieland!", Rainbow Dash explained.

"Well, where did the Black Lantern Corps come from?!", Twilight asked.

"Space Sector 0666. No large planetary life remained after The Manhunters murdered everyone in this Space Sector millions of years ago. The Space Sector was home to the Black Lantern Corps", Spike answered. "This means that the Black Lantern Corps won't be in that sector."

"Well, where would they be?", Twilight asked.

"The Dead Zone. It's seemingly another dimensional plane where the deceased are said to reside. This realm has a notable change from that of the living as its surroundings are all a combination of grey and black... like Nekron's color scheme", Spike answered.

"H... how do you know all of this?", Twilight asked.

"When we went to the human world, there were several Green Lantern comics in the library", Spike answered.

"I... oh. Yeah, that actually makes sense", Twilight replied.

"Well, how do we get to the Dead Zone?", Rainbow Dash asked.

"When Hal Jordan and Sinsetro were transported to the Dead Zone, Tomar-Re said that they had died. I think... we need to die... somehow", Spike answered.

"Can't Rainbow Dash create a blood portal to send us to the Dead Zone?", Applejack asked.

"Oh. Yeah, that'll work", Spike answered. Rainbow Dash created a blood portal and the Lanterns walked through as the blood portal closed behind them.

The blood portal opened in the Dead Zone, and the Lanterns walked through as the blood portal closed behind them. "Okay, we're here. Where's that son of a bitch Nekron?", Rainbow Dash asked. As if on cue, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness.
