Even though the allied team-up between the Green Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, and Star Sapphires were a powerful match-up. The combined forces of The Yellow Lanterns, and Red Lanterns were just too powerful for all of them to take on by themselves. However, the unexpected arrival of the undead Black-Lanterns and the robotic killing Machines known as the Man-Hunters shifted the tide of the War, led by the deranged lunatic, Black-Hand, The Black-Lanterns would stop at nothing until the deadly plan known as The Blackest Night was completed. So, In retaliation, the other Lantern Corps sent their power rings to locations found all across the stars to find more people to use as new warriors for their cause. Even the deranged Larfleeze, sent Orange lantern Rings out across the stars, as even he knew that his constructs wouldn't be enough to win the war. The War of Light is about to begin. EQG: War of Light Written by: Grand-Galvatron Sunset Shimmer was busy packing her bags so that she could finally go back to her apartment for a long deserved snooze. "(Yawn), Man that Exam was such a pain," Sunset said as she was packing up her backpack. To Sunset, studying for her chemistry exam was very difficult, however, she was lucky that her best friend, Twilight Sparkle, agreed to help her study for the exam. Sunset noticed faint bags under her eyes when she looked at the pocket mirror in her locker, probably due to the fact that she stayed up all night preparing for the exam. So, Sunset was really exhausted as she really tried to keep herself from passing out in the locker-room hallway. "Hey Sunset," Twilight said as she saw Sunset. "Congrats on working as hard as you did for the exam." "Hey, I'm just glad that I made a good enough grade," Sunset said as she looked back at her answer sheet, The grade was an 101%. "I mean I was hoping to get all the 10 extra credit points, but I'm just glad that I made an A on it." "Yeah, I made a 110% on it," Twilight said as Sunset let out a sigh. "I heard Pinkie made a 92% on it. "Yep, Ms. Perfect Score as usual," Sunset said, as she knew that Twilight alway's got the highest grades in that class. "A 71%," Rainbow said as she looked at her answer sheet. "Oh, Rainbow, you got a D on it," Twilight said. "Don't worry, Chemistry wasn't really my strongest suite in school these days," Rainbow said as she put it in her backpack. "I'm more willing to a good grade on the 1.5 mile post-run I have in my fitness class." "Well, catch you all later," Rainbow said as she ran towards the stairs. "See ya Dash," Twilight said back. Twilight then turned back towards Sunset, as she saw Sunset was wobbling a little, due to the fact that she was falling asleep. "Hey Sunset, wake up," Twilight said. "Huh whoa," Sunset said in a drowsy tone of voice. "What time is it?" "The time is 2:30," Twilight said. "Sunset I know you wanted to make a good grade on this exam, but you really need to get some sleep, it's not good for your mental health." Sunset didn't respond. "Sunset, did you fall asleep again," Twilight asked. "No Mom, I'm coming down," Sunset said, obviously sleeping. Twilight knew the best way to wake her up, as she got out a bag of ice cubes. Twilight got out three ice cubes and slipped them into Sunset's shirt collar. "AIIIEEE," Sunset yelped. "OK OK I'M AWAKE, I'M AWAKE!" "Just making sure," Twilight said. "Sunset, are you alright with spending the night at Pinkies place, you look to tired to be riding your motorcycle, and I told Pinkie to keep the noise down to let you sleep." "Yeah thank you," Sunset said as they both left the school grounds. Twilight and Sunset both got onto the city bus, as it drove them to the street address where Pinkie's house was located. As Twilight was looking at a book she rented at the library, she felt a pressure on her right shoulder. When she turned to her right, she saw that Sunset was fast asleep, but instead of waking her up again, she let Sunset sleep on her shoulder, until they got to Pinkies place. Twilight let out a yawn, as she was also getting a little drowsy herself. By the time they got to Pinkie's neighborhood, both girl's were fast asleep, but the buses horn woke Twilight up. "Sunset wake up, we're here," Twilight said, nudging Sunset's shoulder. "But, Mom, I want to go to the Great Galloping Gala," Sunset slurred in her sleep, as a drop of drool was coming from her mouth. It was clear that Sunset was out like a light-bulb, so Twilight had to carry Sunset off the bus. As soon as Twilight rang the door-bell to Pinkie's house, Pinkie opened the door with a smile on her face. "Hello Twilight and Sunset, what brings you both here," Pinkie asked. "Shh," Twilight said as she pointed to Sunset. "You have no where to go Discord, we will stop you with the magic of..." Sunset said before she continued snoring. As soon as they both entered Pinkie's house, Twilight brought Sunset to a reserved bedroom. As soon as Sunset was wrapped in the beds covers, Twilight quietly closed the door to let Sunset sleep in peace. Twilight and Pinkie were sitting on the couch watching tv when something crossed Twilight's mind. "Hey Pinkie, I've been wondering about each of us having a glimmer of hope in us," Twilight said. "I mean, who wouldn't be," Pinkie said in a chipper tone of voice. "It is her home after all." "Yeah, one day I heard her crying in her room, because she had a Nightmare about herself never turning good and laying waste to the human world," Twilight said. "But no matter what happens, Sunset always's knew that their was alway's hope that Sunset would one day turn good and it happened." "Well, If Sunset has hope of turning good, then maybe hope changed our lives for the better too," Pinkie said. "You know what Pinkie, you're absolutely right," Twilight said. "I remember back at Crystal Prep, I once thought that there was no hope of me for ever making friends, but thanks to Sunset, she gave a glimmer of hope to press on and try to make some friends for a change instead of just giving up. "I also thought that there wasn't going to be any happiness in me because of my family, when I was little, but after I came to Canterlot High and met all of you, I found hope for my happiness," Pinkie said in a happy tone of voice. "I think we need to owe it to Sunset tonight," Twilight said. "Let's both for Sunset tonight before we sleep, ok." "Ookie Dokie Lokie," Pinkie said. "Well I'm getting a little sleepy, I'll be crashing for the night now," Pinkie said as she went to her bedroom. "Good night," Twilight said as she then went to the bedroom reserved for her, and once she showered, brushed her teeth and put her pajamas on, Twilight immediately fell asleep as soon as her face hit the pillow. Later that night, none of them realized that outside there were three glowing orbs made of blue light that were outside the house. The three orbs then split up as they went to each of their bedrooms. The lights didn't really stir Sunset or Pinkie that much, but Twilight was talking a little in her sleep. "Sunset, thank you for saving me, thanks to you, I finally have found hope in friendship," Twilight said before she continued to snore. The orbs then rest on each of the desks on the sides of their beds, and when the lights dissipated, night returned as silence was restored. The next morning, Twilight woke up when the morning sun shined on her eyes. "Oh, I should've closed the blinds before I slept," Twilight said as her eyes were adjusting to the daylight. Once she got her clothes on, she was about to leave when something caught her eye. "Huh," Twilight said as she walked towards the banister. "A ring," Twilight said in confusion. Even though she didn't know how this ring got in her room, she put in in her backpack. The last day of school was uneventful, with nothing really attentive happening. Eventually, the final bell rang as she then packed her backpack and was ready to prepare for Summer Vacation. That was until Twilight looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was covered with assortments of green, red, blue, yellow, orange, and other colors racing across the sky. "What is happening," Twilight thought to herself. Suddenly, Twilight saw her backpack glow this bright blue light coming from the inside of the backpack. And when Twilight opened it up, something shot out from her backpack. It was the mysterious ring she found on her banister, and Twilight was surprised that it could glow like this. "Twilight Sparkle of Earth 535," The Ring said. "We have detected a great light of hope in your heart, Welcome to The Blue Lantern Corps." The Ring then started moving until it went onto Twilight's right ring finger. Suddenly, like a bolt of Lightning, the ring propelled Twilight into the vast reaches of space at extreme speeds. Twilight tried to scream but she was going so fast that nothing came out of her mouth. This continued until Twilight saw some kind of Blue planet that she was heading for. That was when she saw two other blue orbs of light heading for the same planet. As soon as she came out of the planets atmosphere she started to feel like her body was changing, almost like some kind of unknown power was entering her body. Soon, Twilight saw that she wasn't going at mach speed anymore. In fact Twilight saw that she was somehow still in the sky. Suddenly Twilight saw that she wasn't wearing her usual clothing but she was instead wearing some kind of blue costume and her glasses were replaced with some kind of head-piece that was covering her eyes. Twilight then saw a strange island that was somehow floating in the air. Twilight out of basic instinct, started flying towards the island, where she saw two familiar faces. "Sunset, Pinkie," Twilight saw as she saw them wearing identical costumes. "Twilight can I ask you three questions," Sunset asked. "Sure ask away," Twilight said. "Ok...Where are we? Why are we wearing these costumes and have these strange powers? Oh and most importantly of all...WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Sunset asked. "All of your questions will be answered in time," An unknown voice said. The three girls turned around only to see a little blue man with long white hair and a garment that had the same symbol as their rings and costumes did. "Welcome new Blue Lanterns, I am Ganthet, one of the great Guardians of the Universe," Ganthet said. "This planet is known as Odym, and I am the one who sent you those rings when I found the glimmers of hope in each of you." "Come, follow me to our corps central power battery," Ganthet said as they followed Ganthet. "Now, I must tell you that your rings energy will not last forever, so you must charge them periodically," Ganthet said. "However, in order to charge your rings, you must say the sacred oath of the Blue Lanterns." Ganthet then moved to the central power battery as he said, "In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!” "Now, you try," Ganthet said. As Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie raised their rings towards the power battery, they then said the oath. “In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!” Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie said as all three of them are engulfed in the bright blue light of Hope. And with that, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Pinkie Pie have been chosen as the newest Blue Lanterns in the Blue Lantern Corp. And with their new power, they will shine the blue light of hope on the world. However, they aren't the only ones in the human world that will be joining this War of Light. All will be well. (Will Continue in, Avarice, Rage, and Fear). Avarice, Rage, and FearAdagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk were all out skulking away as they went from alley way to alleyway in order to try and get something to eat and survive. All Adagio could was think about how happy she would have been if those stupid Rainbooms never interfered with her plans, she would've conquered the human world and would've built the army she needed to conquer Equestria. She would've gotten everything she ever wanted. "It all should've been mine," Adagio thought, thinking greedy thoughts. "This whole stinking world would've adored me, and all of that power would've belonged to me...and to me alone." Adagio thought to herself. "It's all Aria and Sonata's fault, their incompetence caused my misery, oh if only they could just disappear." Adagio didn't notice two things, one being Aria finally having a complete mental breakdown and screaming at a crying Sonata to shut her face, and the fact that there were many colors shooting across the sky. Suddenly, two Orange and Yellow Balls of light dropped down with the Dazzling’s not noticing them float to the ground. Then when Adagio was still thinking to herself, she then saw an Orange Ring sitting next to her. "Huh...a ring?" Adagio thought to herself as she picked it up. As soon as she touched it, the ring emitted an orange light from its center. "What in the," Adagio said startled. "Why is this ring emitting...light...the ring's...light...it's so...beautiful." Adagio said as she was mesmerized by the orange light. She then heard a voice talking to her in her head, "This is your power, don't let any one take it, it is yours, yours, yours. Welcome to the Orange Lantern Corp." "Yes, it is all mine," Adagio said as she wandered off to a place where no one could see her, but before she could Aria, one of her sisters, went to talk with her. "Hey Aria, We're hungry, what are we gonna do about finding grub," Aria asked Adagio. "No...that doesn't matter anymore, all that matters is the ring...my ring," Adagio murmured to herself. "Welp Sonata, Adagio's finally lost it," Aria said to Sonata. "It's my ring...mine....mine," Adagio murmured. "What ring," Aria asked before she saw the ring and tried to grab it. "DON'T TOUCH IT,"Adagio roared as she scratched Aria in the arm, which drew blood. "Hey, what is wrong with you," Aria shouted. "You and Sonata are the same , your trying to double team me, trying to take my ring, you're both plotting against me," Adagio roared as orange energy started to surround her body. "YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY RING, IT'S MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE," Adagio roared before being engulfed by Orange light and sent to Okara where Larfleeze was awaiting her arrival. While Aria was arguing with Sonata, Aria saw the yellow ring that was right beside Sonata. "Mine twerp," Aria said as she snatched it before Sonata could get it. "Annoying losers like you don't get nice things." Suddenly as soon as Aria touched it, the Ring emitted a yellow shockwave that sent her flying. The Ring then spoke,"Aria Blaze of Earth 535, you have been deemed unworthy of possessing the Power of The Yellow Lantern." "What, what do mean unworthy," Aria said in a fit of rage. "Listen here you stupid, your going to have me whether you like it or not." The ring then let out a high pitched scream as an even bigger shockwave. "Aria Blaze of Earth 535, if you continue to cause hostile action you will be neutralized." The Ring said. "FINE YOU CAN HAVE THAT STUPID RING, YOU DUMB LOSER," Aria roared. "IT'S JUST AS STUPID AS YOU ARE!" Aria then stormed away to another part of the alley-way. Sonata continued to look at the ring with tear-filled eyes. "Why, Why does everyone have to be so mean to me," Sonata said. "I never wanted this, I never wanted to be evil, I just don't want to be afraid anymore." Then, the ring spoke, "Sonata Dusk of Earth 535, we have detected great fear in your heart, with this gift, brought to you by Lord Sinestro, you can turn your fear into deadly power and strike out at all those who have caused you fear. Welcome to the Sinestro Corp." Suddenly, Sonata was engulfed by yellow light as she was then sent to Quard where Sinestro was waiting. Meanwhile, Aria was angrily wandering around muttering to herself. "Stupid Adagio, Stupid Sonata," Aria Muttered. "IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU TWO IDIOTS, THE HUMAN WORLD WOULD BE CONQUERED RIGHT NOW! I hate you, I HATE BOTH OF YOUUU!" Aria roared as she kicked a garbage can. Suddenly, she was blinded by a burst of red light, and when the light dimmed, she noticed that there was a red ring in the center of the ball of red light. "A ring, just like the one that cry-baby Sonata had," Aria said in amazement. Suddenly the red ring spoke in a low booming voice," "Aria Blaze of Earth-535, we have detected great rage and hatred in your heart. Give in, let your hatred be your power, and with it, your vengeance will be sated, this, your lord Atrocitus confirms.". Aria then said, "LONG LIVE ATROCITUS!" Aria then let out a roar full of rage as red fire came out from her eyes and mouth, before being engulfed by red light and then she was sent to Ysmalt. Eventually, every person in the Human world had been given a ring and were sent to their appropriate Planets, even Wallflower Blush, who had gotten a Blue Lantern Ring was sent out as well. Meanwhile, at Green Lantern HQ, the Guardians watched as future events were about to unfold. "All the pieces are now in place," Sayd said to her fellow Guardians. "Yes," Appa bluntly said. "The War of Light is about to begin." (Will continue in, Regimen's of the Lantern's, Sonata's decision). Black Midnight of Death, Forever Red(Meanwhile, on the planet Odym) Sunset was sitting on a rock, thinking about all the events that have transpired. "Is something troubling you, Sunset Shimmer of Equestria," Ganthet asked. "Oh, it's nothing really," Sunset replied. "It's just that I've been wondering why the ring chose me, why not someone else?" "You have a lot of self-doubt in your heart," Ganthet stated. "That is understandable, considering all the events that have transpired in your lifetime." "Events," Sunset said in confusion. "Events such as The Fall Formal, The Battle of the Bands, Anon-A-Miss, The Friendship Games, The Memory Stone, even the Time-Twirler," Ganthet stated. "They're have been many forces at play that have tried to break your spirit and resolve, but you would never give up, because you always had hope that friendship would prevail," Ganthet said. "And friendship is nothing without Hope. That is why the Blue Ring chose you." "But you are not the only one who had emotional turmoil," Ganthet said as he looked at Twilight. "Thanks to you, you allowed Twilight to hope again and to learn about friendship as well." Suddenly, Ganthet looks up to see several orbs of blue light approaching the planet. "Ah, the others have finally arrived," Ganthet said as the rest of the new Blue Lanterns arrived. Sunset, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie all saw familiar faces and some new ones too. "Timber Spruce, you son of a gun," Twilight said as she ran over to greet him. "It's so good to see you." "Wow, no matter what, we just can't stay away from each other huh," Timber said with a smile. "Wallflower Blush, I always knew the ring would choose you," Sunset said as she greeted her. "You're sweater looks good in blue." "Thanks, it's good that I'll be remembered for something now," Wallflower said with a tear of joy. Sunset then saw Pinkie Pie hugging Cheese Sandwich as they also reunited. "Alright, now that that's all taken care of, I think it is time to fill everyone in," Ganthet said. "Welcome, new Blue-Lanterns, all of you have come at just the right time." "I know that all of you have many questions that you want to be answered, and they will be answered, but first there is something major going on in the universe," Ganthet said. "The rings chose you all because you all have great hope in your hearts, hope will be beneficial when the Blackest Night arrives." Suddenly, Twilight felt a familiar buzzing in her head. "Aw, so the Blackest Night is true," Midnight Sparkle retorted. Twilight then saw that she was no longer on Odym but in Midnight Sparkle's void. "Ugh, what do you want now, Midnight," Twilight said as she saw her former demon self shackled in chains made from the magic of Twilight's Geode. "You can't hurt me, you know." "I don't have to hurt you, you ignorant child," Midnight sneered. "Now that a new world order is coming." "What are you talking about," Twilight asked. "You may have gotten a little boost from that Blue Lantern Ring, but even that will not save you from what is coming," Midnight retorted. "For very soon, the universe will fade to darkness and misery. And the Black Light of Death will spread upon the universe like a plague...A Plague of Death." "Oh really," Twilight said as her ring started glowing, turning Midnight's shackles blue. "I can always make your chains tighter." "YOU DARE MOCK ME," Midnight roared. "WHEN THE UNIVERSE WILL FADE AWAY FROM YOUR IGNORANCE!!!" "Wow, you love hearing yourself talk," Twilight retorted. "Now if you excuse me, I like to return to Odym now." "WHERE ARE YOU GOING, DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME, YOU LOOK AT ME AND FEAR ME! YOU WILL FEAR ME!" Midnight shrieked with hatred. Suddenly, a portal opened in the void as Twilight turned to look at the portal, a Black ring came out of the portal. "Aww, so Necron heard my cries after all," Midnight said with a face of demented glee as the ring approached her. "Midnight Sparkle of Earth-535," The Black Ring said. "RISE!" "Wait, Midnight, what are you doing," Twilight said in shock. "Fulfilling my destiny, you ignorant child, for very soon the universe will be covered by the light of Death, and it will be mine to rule!" Midnight cackled in triumph as the ring went into her right hand. "The Blackest Night falls from the skies, The darkness grows as all light dies, We crave your hearts and your demise, By his black hand, the dead shall rise!" Midnight roared as the ring transformed her into a Black Lantern. Midnight's eyes turned black with Purple pupils, and her Flaming glasses and wings also turned into a bright Black color as her transformation completed. It even turned her skin black and caused it to crack in various places. "Now, I don't need you anymore, now that the Black Lantern Corp's ring has granted me a physical body." Midnight said in triumph. And here's my ticket out of this void of nothingness that you imprisoned me in for so long. See you in your Nightmares, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Midnight said as she left for Ryut. When Twilight regained consciousness, she saw Sunset and Pinkie checking up on her. "Hey Twi, you alright," Sunset asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," Twilight said as she got back on her feet. "Wow, what a Nightmare. Did I miss anything?" "Well, you kinda missed the big speech Ganthet made about Blue-Lantern responsibilities and telling us about the whole Blackest Night thing," Sunset said. "Oh, so not much I suppose," Twilight said. "That's good to hear. So are we supposed to be doing some sorta training regimens or something like that?" "Not exactly," Sunset said. "Just a lot of Meditation sessions and other regimens to help keep your hope up." "Oh alright, wasn't expecting something like that," Twilight said as she sat on a rock to meditate. As Sunset wondered what her ring could do, she heard someone behind her, "Well well, it looks like I'm now not the only Equestrian to be a Blue Lantern." Sunset turned around only to see a woman staring back at her. "An Equestrian," Sunset said in confusion. Suddenly, Sunset saw the Gemstone around the woman's neck. "You're a Siren?" "Yes, I am Queen Neptunia," Neptunia stated as she introduced herself. "I am the Queen of the Siren Race." "Wow, I didn't expect someone like a Siren to wield the power of hope," Sunset said to Neptunia. "You must have encountered my three daughters before, haven't you," Neptunia said with a calming smile. "Wait a minute, you're the Dazzling's mother," Sunset said in shock. "Yes, now that you know about my daughter, I think it is now time for me to tell you my whole story," Neptunia said while Sunset listened. "You see, the Sirens were not always evil. We lived under Equestria's oceans for many years." "We also used our Gemstones to absorb positive energy, making ponies full of happiness," Neptunia said. "That was until King Poseidra went into power, and either killed or enslaved all who opposed his authority. He ruled through fear with an iron-fist, and forced me to have children so he could have an heir to his throne." "Poseidra was like this, because he used his Gemstone to absorb negative energy, making ponies go into anger fits," Neptunia said. "However, sirens that absorb energy would go mad within months." "His hatred for Ponies was caused by not only the racist comments that Chancellor Neighsay and his friends called us but also because of the pollution that was poisoning our oceans, by which Princess Celestia did nothing to help but instead told us to leave Canterlot and to not cause problems for her anymore," Neptunia said. "How it was one fateful day, as my daughters were still pups, that was when the Man-Hunters came and drove my people to near extinction, once again, no help came from Princess Celestia that day, nor any day since," Neptunia sadly said. "My husband King Poseidra abandoned his people like the coward he was." "My daughters wanted revenge, and that is why they attacked Star-Swirl the Bearded and his group," Neptunia said. "And that resulted in their banishment to the human world." "Then Princess Luna in a blind rage told the rest of us to leave and never return to Ponyville," Neptunia said. "Many wanted to give up, but I told them that we could never give up on the hope that the Ponies would one day accept us into Ponyville," Neptunia said. "Then Odym's Blue Ring sensed my hope and chose me to be the first Siren Blue Lantern." "And the rest is history," Neptunia said. "I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that," Sunset said in sorrow. "What happened to Poseidra?" "The Yellow Ring of the Sinestro Corp found him, and decreed him a Yellow Lantern," Neptunia said. "I hope to one day return to Equestria and Liberate my people from Poseidra's tyranny," Neptunia said. "Hmm, I hope you're daughters aren't in too much trouble," Sunset said. Suddenly, Sunset's ring started blinking, and as she made a construct of a map, saw a green dot heading straight for Odym at fast speeds." "I'm detecting something, Ganthet what is it," Sunset asked the Blue Lantern Guardian. "It appears to be a ship of Green Lantern Origin," Ganthet said as the ship came into view and crashed. "Green Lantern," Sunset asked in confusion. "Just as the Blue Lanterns are powered by hope, The Green Lanterns use the Green Light of Will-Power," Ganthet replied. As Sunset, Twilight, and Wallflower went to investigate, they saw two familiar faces who were unconscious on the ship. "Rainbow-Dash, Applejack," Sunset said in shock as they took their friends out of the ship to heal their wounds. (Meanwhile, on Ysmalt) Two red Lantern's, Zox and Skallox were to keep a rampaging Aria restrained long enough to go into the Blood Lake. "How long will this take, Zillias," Atrocitus asked sternly. "We're trying our best master, but she is very feisty," Zox said as he and Skallox lowered Aria into the Blood Lake. At first, nothing happened, but then, Aria burst out from the blood lake, gasping for air. "Aggh, I feel like I just got acid injected into my bloodstream," Aria wailed. "Welcome to Ysmalt, new Red Lantern," Zox stated. "You are now the newest soldier working for the righteous crusade of Atrocitus." "What do you mean what righteous crusade," Aria roared. "The Righteous Crusade against the guardians," Atrocitus proclaimed. "Anger, hatred, vengeance, that is why the ring of a Red Lantern chose you, Aria Blaze of Equestria." "Here, let me tell you our story, I would pay close attention if I were you," Atrocitus said. "In this part of our planet represents the Capital of Ysmalt, it could be any city or sector in our ravaged galaxy, and then The Guardians descended upon us," Atrocitus proclaimed. "They said that they would bring peace and order, but as the book of rage foretells, lies drawn in through their mouths." "They said kneel before us and you will want for nothing, but we would not worship them, and their wrath was deep and terrible," Atrocitus said. "The Blue Devils unleashed their Man-Hunters, as the Guardian's soulless avengers snuffed out every life, stealing every breath, and instilling every heart." "It was through my unholy hate that bore the first fruit of a Red Lantern," Atrocitus proclaimed. "I, your Lord Atrocitus of the five inversions." "Now, by our Red Lantern's light, we will punish the Guardians and their creations for what they have done," Atrocitus said. "Join my crusade, and we can destroy evil together." "What's stopping me from taking this thing off," Aria said as she tried to remove her ring. "I wouldn't advise that, once you have your ring, you can never take it off," Atrocitus stated. "That ring is your lifeline, and if you take it off, you won't survive for half a minute." "Also, the Man-Hunters were the ones that drove your species to near extinction," Atrocitus revealed. "Ugh, very well, Lord Atrocitus, I will join your righteous crusade, destroy the Man-Hunters and the Guardians, and take my revenge on those who have wronged me for so long," Aria said as her eyes glowed red with rage. "Very good, Aria Blaze of Equestria, you will be a great pawn in the Guardians' utter destruction, Atrocitus roared with laughter as Aria recited the oath of the Red Lantern Corps. "With blood and rage of crimson red, Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead, Together with our hellish hate, We'll burn you all--that is your fate!" (Meanwhile, in Equestria, in Canterlot Castle and King Sombra's Abandoned Strong-Hold in the Crystal Empire, and in the Human World). A Swarm of Black rings descended upon the land as they went to their targets. Then the rings spoke, "Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Storm-King, Emperor Metal-Beak, Princess Amore, Clover the Clever, Princess Platinum, Private Pansy, Commander Hurricane, Smart Cookie, Chancellor Puddinghead, Sable Spirit, Prince Hisan, Holder Cobblestone, King Grover, Commander Ironhead, Seed Investor, Stinkin' Rich, Pokey Oaks, Sew 'n Sow, Daybreaker, Sunset Satan, Gaia Everfree, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow...RISE!"
The Shining Blue Light of HopeAuthor's Note The Shining Blue Light of Hope For a millenia, The War of Light between each of the different Lantern Corps had been raging on. Even though the allied team-up between the Green Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, and Star Sapphires were a powerful match-up. The combined forces of The Yellow Lanterns, and Red Lanterns were just too powerful for all of them to take on by themselves. However, the unexpected arrival of the undead Black-Lanterns and the robotic killing Machines known as the Man-Hunters shifted the tide of the War, led by the deranged lunatic, Black-Hand, The Black-Lanterns would stop at nothing until the deadly plan known as The Blackest Night was completed. So, In retaliation, the other Lantern Corps sent their power rings to locations found all across the stars to find more people to use as new warriors for their cause. Even the deranged Larfleeze, sent Orange lantern Rings out across the stars, as even he knew that his constructs wouldn't be enough to win the war. The War of Light is about to begin. EQG: War of Light Written by: Grand-Galvatron Sunset Shimmer was busy packing her bags so that she could finally go back to her apartment for a long deserved snooze. "(Yawn), Man that Exam was such a pain," Sunset said as she was packing up her backpack. To Sunset, studying for her chemistry exam was very difficult, however, she was lucky that her best friend, Twilight Sparkle, agreed to help her study for the exam. Sunset noticed faint bags under her eyes when she looked at the pocket mirror in her locker, probably due to the fact that she stayed up all night preparing for the exam. So, Sunset was really exhausted as she really tried to keep herself from passing out in the locker-room hallway. "Hey Sunset," Twilight said as she saw Sunset. "Congrats on working as hard as you did for the exam." "Hey, I'm just glad that I made a good enough grade," Sunset said as she looked back at her answer sheet, The grade was an 101%. "I mean I was hoping to get all the 10 extra credit points, but I'm just glad that I made an A on it." "Yeah, I made a 110% on it," Twilight said as Sunset let out a sigh. "I heard Pinkie made a 92% on it. "Yep, Ms. Perfect Score as usual," Sunset said, as she knew that Twilight alway's got the highest grades in that class. "A 71%," Rainbow said as she looked at her answer sheet. "Oh, Rainbow, you got a D on it," Twilight said. "Don't worry, Chemistry wasn't really my strongest suite in school these days," Rainbow said as she put it in her backpack. "I'm more willing to a good grade on the 1.5 mile post-run I have in my fitness class." "Well, catch you all later," Rainbow said as she ran towards the stairs. "See ya Dash," Twilight said back. Twilight then turned back towards Sunset, as she saw Sunset was wobbling a little, due to the fact that she was falling asleep. "Hey Sunset, wake up," Twilight said. "Huh whoa," Sunset said in a drowsy tone of voice. "What time is it?" "The time is 2:30," Twilight said. "Sunset I know you wanted to make a good grade on this exam, but you really need to get some sleep, it's not good for your mental health." Sunset didn't respond. "Sunset, did you fall asleep again," Twilight asked. "No Mom, I'm coming down," Sunset said, obviously sleeping. Twilight knew the best way to wake her up, as she got out a bag of ice cubes. Twilight got out three ice cubes and slipped them into Sunset's shirt collar. "AIIIEEE," Sunset yelped. "OK OK I'M AWAKE, I'M AWAKE!" "Just making sure," Twilight said. "Sunset, are you alright with spending the night at Pinkies place, you look to tired to be riding your motorcycle, and I told Pinkie to keep the noise down to let you sleep." "Yeah thank you," Sunset said as they both left the school grounds. Twilight and Sunset both got onto the city bus, as it drove them to the street address where Pinkie's house was located. As Twilight was looking at a book she rented at the library, she felt a pressure on her right shoulder. When she turned to her right, she saw that Sunset was fast asleep, but instead of waking her up again, she let Sunset sleep on her shoulder, until they got to Pinkies place. Twilight let out a yawn, as she was also getting a little drowsy herself. By the time they got to Pinkie's neighborhood, both girl's were fast asleep, but the buses horn woke Twilight up. "Sunset wake up, we're here," Twilight said, nudging Sunset's shoulder. "But, Mom, I want to go to the Great Galloping Gala," Sunset slurred in her sleep, as a drop of drool was coming from her mouth. It was clear that Sunset was out like a light-bulb, so Twilight had to carry Sunset off the bus. As soon as Twilight rang the door-bell to Pinkie's house, Pinkie opened the door with a smile on her face. "Hello Twilight and Sunset, what brings you both here," Pinkie asked. "Shh," Twilight said as she pointed to Sunset. "You have no where to go Discord, we will stop you with the magic of..." Sunset said before she continued snoring. As soon as they both entered Pinkie's house, Twilight brought Sunset to a reserved bedroom. As soon as Sunset was wrapped in the beds covers, Twilight quietly closed the door to let Sunset sleep in peace. Twilight and Pinkie were sitting on the couch watching tv when something crossed Twilight's mind. "Hey Pinkie, I've been wondering about each of us having a glimmer of hope in us," Twilight said. "I mean, who wouldn't be," Pinkie said in a chipper tone of voice. "It is her home after all." "Yeah, one day I heard her crying in her room, because she had a Nightmare about herself never turning good and laying waste to the human world," Twilight said. "But no matter what happens, Sunset always's knew that their was alway's hope that Sunset would one day turn good and it happened." "Well, If Sunset has hope of turning good, then maybe hope changed our lives for the better too," Pinkie said. "You know what Pinkie, you're absolutely right," Twilight said. "I remember back at Crystal Prep, I once thought that there was no hope of me for ever making friends, but thanks to Sunset, she gave a glimmer of hope to press on and try to make some friends for a change instead of just giving up. "I also thought that there wasn't going to be any happiness in me because of my family, when I was little, but after I came to Canterlot High and met all of you, I found hope for my happiness," Pinkie said in a happy tone of voice. "I think we need to owe it to Sunset tonight," Twilight said. "Let's both for Sunset tonight before we sleep, ok." "Ookie Dokie Lokie," Pinkie said. "Well I'm getting a little sleepy, I'll be crashing for the night now," Pinkie said as she went to her bedroom. "Good night," Twilight said as she then went to the bedroom reserved for her, and once she showered, brushed her teeth and put her pajamas on, Twilight immediately fell asleep as soon as her face hit the pillow. Later that night, none of them realized that outside there were three glowing orbs made of blue light that were outside the house. The three orbs then split up as they went to each of their bedrooms. The lights didn't really stir Sunset or Pinkie that much, but Twilight was talking a little in her sleep. "Sunset, thank you for saving me, thanks to you, I finally have found hope in friendship," Twilight said before she continued to snore. The orbs then rest on each of the desks on the sides of their beds, and when the lights dissipated, night returned as silence was restored. The next morning, Twilight woke up when the morning sun shined on her eyes. "Oh, I should've closed the blinds before I slept," Twilight said as her eyes were adjusting to the daylight. Once she got her clothes on, she was about to leave when something caught her eye. "Huh," Twilight said as she walked towards the banister. "A ring," Twilight said in confusion. Even though she didn't know how this ring got in her room, she put in in her backpack. The last day of school was uneventful, with nothing really attentive happening. Eventually, the final bell rang as she then packed her backpack and was ready to prepare for Summer Vacation. That was until Twilight looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was covered with assortments of green, red, blue, yellow, orange, and other colors racing across the sky. "What is happening," Twilight thought to herself. Suddenly, Twilight saw her backpack glow this bright blue light coming from the inside of the backpack. And when Twilight opened it up, something shot out from her backpack. It was the mysterious ring she found on her banister, and Twilight was surprised that it could glow like this. "Twilight Sparkle of Earth 535," The Ring said. "We have detected a great light of hope in your heart, Welcome to The Blue Lantern Corps." The Ring then started moving until it went onto Twilight's right ring finger. Suddenly, like a bolt of Lightning, the ring propelled Twilight into the vast reaches of space at extreme speeds. Twilight tried to scream but she was going so fast that nothing came out of her mouth. This continued until Twilight saw some kind of Blue planet that she was heading for. That was when she saw two other blue orbs of light heading for the same planet. As soon as she came out of the planets atmosphere she started to feel like her body was changing, almost like some kind of unknown power was entering her body. Soon, Twilight saw that she wasn't going at mach speed anymore. In fact Twilight saw that she was somehow still in the sky. Suddenly Twilight saw that she wasn't wearing her usual clothing but she was instead wearing some kind of blue costume and her glasses were replaced with some kind of head-piece that was covering her eyes. Twilight then saw a strange island that was somehow floating in the air. Twilight out of basic instinct, started flying towards the island, where she saw two familiar faces. "Sunset, Pinkie," Twilight saw as she saw them wearing identical costumes. "Twilight can I ask you three questions," Sunset asked. "Sure ask away," Twilight said. "Ok...Where are we? Why are we wearing these costumes and have these strange powers? Oh and most importantly of all...WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Sunset asked. "All of your questions will be answered in time," An unknown voice said. The three girls turned around only to see a little blue man with long white hair and a garment that had the same symbol as their rings and costumes did. "Welcome new Blue Lanterns, I am Ganthet, one of the great Guardians of the Universe," Ganthet said. "This planet is known as Odym, and I am the one who sent you those rings when I found the glimmers of hope in each of you." "Come, follow me to our corps central power battery," Ganthet said as they followed Ganthet. "Now, I must tell you that your rings energy will not last forever, so you must charge them periodically," Ganthet said. "However, in order to charge your rings, you must say the sacred oath of the Blue Lanterns." Ganthet then moved to the central power battery as he said, "In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!” "Now, you try," Ganthet said. As Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie raised their rings towards the power battery, they then said the oath. “In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!” Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie said as all three of them are engulfed in the bright blue light of Hope. And with that, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Pinkie Pie have been chosen as the newest Blue Lanterns in the Blue Lantern Corp. And with their new power, they will shine the blue light of hope on the world. However, they aren't the only ones in the human world that will be joining this War of Light. All will be well. (Will Continue in, Avarice, Rage, and Fear).
Avarice, Rage, and FearAdagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk were all out skulking away as they went from alley way to alleyway in order to try and get something to eat and survive. All Adagio could was think about how happy she would have been if those stupid Rainbooms never interfered with her plans, she would've conquered the human world and would've built the army she needed to conquer Equestria. She would've gotten everything she ever wanted. "It all should've been mine," Adagio thought, thinking greedy thoughts. "This whole stinking world would've adored me, and all of that power would've belonged to me...and to me alone." Adagio thought to herself. "It's all Aria and Sonata's fault, their incompetence caused my misery, oh if only they could just disappear." Adagio didn't notice two things, one being Aria finally having a complete mental breakdown and screaming at a crying Sonata to shut her face, and the fact that there were many colors shooting across the sky. Suddenly, two Orange and Yellow Balls of light dropped down with the Dazzling’s not noticing them float to the ground. Then when Adagio was still thinking to herself, she then saw an Orange Ring sitting next to her. "Huh...a ring?" Adagio thought to herself as she picked it up. As soon as she touched it, the ring emitted an orange light from its center. "What in the," Adagio said startled. "Why is this ring emitting...light...the ring's...light...it's so...beautiful." Adagio said as she was mesmerized by the orange light. She then heard a voice talking to her in her head, "This is your power, don't let any one take it, it is yours, yours, yours. Welcome to the Orange Lantern Corp." "Yes, it is all mine," Adagio said as she wandered off to a place where no one could see her, but before she could Aria, one of her sisters, went to talk with her. "Hey Aria, We're hungry, what are we gonna do about finding grub," Aria asked Adagio. "No...that doesn't matter anymore, all that matters is the ring...my ring," Adagio murmured to herself. "Welp Sonata, Adagio's finally lost it," Aria said to Sonata. "It's my ring...mine....mine," Adagio murmured. "What ring," Aria asked before she saw the ring and tried to grab it. "DON'T TOUCH IT,"Adagio roared as she scratched Aria in the arm, which drew blood. "Hey, what is wrong with you," Aria shouted. "You and Sonata are the same , your trying to double team me, trying to take my ring, you're both plotting against me," Adagio roared as orange energy started to surround her body. "YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY RING, IT'S MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE," Adagio roared before being engulfed by Orange light and sent to Okara where Larfleeze was awaiting her arrival. While Aria was arguing with Sonata, Aria saw the yellow ring that was right beside Sonata. "Mine twerp," Aria said as she snatched it before Sonata could get it. "Annoying losers like you don't get nice things." Suddenly as soon as Aria touched it, the Ring emitted a yellow shockwave that sent her flying. The Ring then spoke,"Aria Blaze of Earth 535, you have been deemed unworthy of possessing the Power of The Yellow Lantern." "What, what do mean unworthy," Aria said in a fit of rage. "Listen here you stupid, your going to have me whether you like it or not." The ring then let out a high pitched scream as an even bigger shockwave. "Aria Blaze of Earth 535, if you continue to cause hostile action you will be neutralized." The Ring said. "FINE YOU CAN HAVE THAT STUPID RING, YOU DUMB LOSER," Aria roared. "IT'S JUST AS STUPID AS YOU ARE!" Aria then stormed away to another part of the alley-way. Sonata continued to look at the ring with tear-filled eyes. "Why, Why does everyone have to be so mean to me," Sonata said. "I never wanted this, I never wanted to be evil, I just don't want to be afraid anymore." Then, the ring spoke, "Sonata Dusk of Earth 535, we have detected great fear in your heart, with this gift, brought to you by Lord Sinestro, you can turn your fear into deadly power and strike out at all those who have caused you fear. Welcome to the Sinestro Corp." Suddenly, Sonata was engulfed by yellow light as she was then sent to Quard where Sinestro was waiting. Meanwhile, Aria was angrily wandering around muttering to herself. "Stupid Adagio, Stupid Sonata," Aria Muttered. "IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU TWO IDIOTS, THE HUMAN WORLD WOULD BE CONQUERED RIGHT NOW! I hate you, I HATE BOTH OF YOUUU!" Aria roared as she kicked a garbage can. Suddenly, she was blinded by a burst of red light, and when the light dimmed, she noticed that there was a red ring in the center of the ball of red light. "A ring, just like the one that cry-baby Sonata had," Aria said in amazement. Suddenly the red ring spoke in a low booming voice," "Aria Blaze of Earth-535, we have detected great rage and hatred in your heart. Give in, let your hatred be your power, and with it, your vengeance will be sated, this, your lord Atrocitus confirms.". Aria then said, "LONG LIVE ATROCITUS!" Aria then let out a roar full of rage as red fire came out from her eyes and mouth, before being engulfed by red light and then she was sent to Ysmalt. Eventually, every person in the Human world had been given a ring and were sent to their appropriate Planets, even Wallflower Blush, who had gotten a Blue Lantern Ring was sent out as well. Meanwhile, at Green Lantern HQ, the Guardians watched as future events were about to unfold. "All the pieces are now in place," Sayd said to her fellow Guardians. "Yes," Appa bluntly said. "The War of Light is about to begin." (Will continue in, Regimen's of the Lantern's, Sonata's decision).
Black Midnight of Death, Forever Red(Meanwhile, on the planet Odym) Sunset was sitting on a rock, thinking about all the events that have transpired. "Is something troubling you, Sunset Shimmer of Equestria," Ganthet asked. "Oh, it's nothing really," Sunset replied. "It's just that I've been wondering why the ring chose me, why not someone else?" "You have a lot of self-doubt in your heart," Ganthet stated. "That is understandable, considering all the events that have transpired in your lifetime." "Events," Sunset said in confusion. "Events such as The Fall Formal, The Battle of the Bands, Anon-A-Miss, The Friendship Games, The Memory Stone, even the Time-Twirler," Ganthet stated. "They're have been many forces at play that have tried to break your spirit and resolve, but you would never give up, because you always had hope that friendship would prevail," Ganthet said. "And friendship is nothing without Hope. That is why the Blue Ring chose you." "But you are not the only one who had emotional turmoil," Ganthet said as he looked at Twilight. "Thanks to you, you allowed Twilight to hope again and to learn about friendship as well." Suddenly, Ganthet looks up to see several orbs of blue light approaching the planet. "Ah, the others have finally arrived," Ganthet said as the rest of the new Blue Lanterns arrived. Sunset, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie all saw familiar faces and some new ones too. "Timber Spruce, you son of a gun," Twilight said as she ran over to greet him. "It's so good to see you." "Wow, no matter what, we just can't stay away from each other huh," Timber said with a smile. "Wallflower Blush, I always knew the ring would choose you," Sunset said as she greeted her. "You're sweater looks good in blue." "Thanks, it's good that I'll be remembered for something now," Wallflower said with a tear of joy. Sunset then saw Pinkie Pie hugging Cheese Sandwich as they also reunited. "Alright, now that that's all taken care of, I think it is time to fill everyone in," Ganthet said. "Welcome, new Blue-Lanterns, all of you have come at just the right time." "I know that all of you have many questions that you want to be answered, and they will be answered, but first there is something major going on in the universe," Ganthet said. "The rings chose you all because you all have great hope in your hearts, hope will be beneficial when the Blackest Night arrives." Suddenly, Twilight felt a familiar buzzing in her head. "Aw, so the Blackest Night is true," Midnight Sparkle retorted. Twilight then saw that she was no longer on Odym but in Midnight Sparkle's void. "Ugh, what do you want now, Midnight," Twilight said as she saw her former demon self shackled in chains made from the magic of Twilight's Geode. "You can't hurt me, you know." "I don't have to hurt you, you ignorant child," Midnight sneered. "Now that a new world order is coming." "What are you talking about," Twilight asked. "You may have gotten a little boost from that Blue Lantern Ring, but even that will not save you from what is coming," Midnight retorted. "For very soon, the universe will fade to darkness and misery. And the Black Light of Death will spread upon the universe like a plague...A Plague of Death." "Oh really," Twilight said as her ring started glowing, turning Midnight's shackles blue. "I can always make your chains tighter." "YOU DARE MOCK ME," Midnight roared. "WHEN THE UNIVERSE WILL FADE AWAY FROM YOUR IGNORANCE!!!" "Wow, you love hearing yourself talk," Twilight retorted. "Now if you excuse me, I like to return to Odym now." "WHERE ARE YOU GOING, DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON ME, YOU LOOK AT ME AND FEAR ME! YOU WILL FEAR ME!" Midnight shrieked with hatred. Suddenly, a portal opened in the void as Twilight turned to look at the portal, a Black ring came out of the portal. "Aww, so Necron heard my cries after all," Midnight said with a face of demented glee as the ring approached her. "Midnight Sparkle of Earth-535," The Black Ring said. "RISE!" "Wait, Midnight, what are you doing," Twilight said in shock. "Fulfilling my destiny, you ignorant child, for very soon the universe will be covered by the light of Death, and it will be mine to rule!" Midnight cackled in triumph as the ring went into her right hand. "The Blackest Night falls from the skies, The darkness grows as all light dies, We crave your hearts and your demise, By his black hand, the dead shall rise!" Midnight roared as the ring transformed her into a Black Lantern. Midnight's eyes turned black with Purple pupils, and her Flaming glasses and wings also turned into a bright Black color as her transformation completed. It even turned her skin black and caused it to crack in various places. "Now, I don't need you anymore, now that the Black Lantern Corp's ring has granted me a physical body." Midnight said in triumph. And here's my ticket out of this void of nothingness that you imprisoned me in for so long. See you in your Nightmares, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Midnight said as she left for Ryut. When Twilight regained consciousness, she saw Sunset and Pinkie checking up on her. "Hey Twi, you alright," Sunset asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," Twilight said as she got back on her feet. "Wow, what a Nightmare. Did I miss anything?" "Well, you kinda missed the big speech Ganthet made about Blue-Lantern responsibilities and telling us about the whole Blackest Night thing," Sunset said. "Oh, so not much I suppose," Twilight said. "That's good to hear. So are we supposed to be doing some sorta training regimens or something like that?" "Not exactly," Sunset said. "Just a lot of Meditation sessions and other regimens to help keep your hope up." "Oh alright, wasn't expecting something like that," Twilight said as she sat on a rock to meditate. As Sunset wondered what her ring could do, she heard someone behind her, "Well well, it looks like I'm now not the only Equestrian to be a Blue Lantern." Sunset turned around only to see a woman staring back at her. "An Equestrian," Sunset said in confusion. Suddenly, Sunset saw the Gemstone around the woman's neck. "You're a Siren?" "Yes, I am Queen Neptunia," Neptunia stated as she introduced herself. "I am the Queen of the Siren Race." "Wow, I didn't expect someone like a Siren to wield the power of hope," Sunset said to Neptunia. "You must have encountered my three daughters before, haven't you," Neptunia said with a calming smile. "Wait a minute, you're the Dazzling's mother," Sunset said in shock. "Yes, now that you know about my daughter, I think it is now time for me to tell you my whole story," Neptunia said while Sunset listened. "You see, the Sirens were not always evil. We lived under Equestria's oceans for many years." "We also used our Gemstones to absorb positive energy, making ponies full of happiness," Neptunia said. "That was until King Poseidra went into power, and either killed or enslaved all who opposed his authority. He ruled through fear with an iron-fist, and forced me to have children so he could have an heir to his throne." "Poseidra was like this, because he used his Gemstone to absorb negative energy, making ponies go into anger fits," Neptunia said. "However, sirens that absorb energy would go mad within months." "His hatred for Ponies was caused by not only the racist comments that Chancellor Neighsay and his friends called us but also because of the pollution that was poisoning our oceans, by which Princess Celestia did nothing to help but instead told us to leave Canterlot and to not cause problems for her anymore," Neptunia said. "How it was one fateful day, as my daughters were still pups, that was when the Man-Hunters came and drove my people to near extinction, once again, no help came from Princess Celestia that day, nor any day since," Neptunia sadly said. "My husband King Poseidra abandoned his people like the coward he was." "My daughters wanted revenge, and that is why they attacked Star-Swirl the Bearded and his group," Neptunia said. "And that resulted in their banishment to the human world." "Then Princess Luna in a blind rage told the rest of us to leave and never return to Ponyville," Neptunia said. "Many wanted to give up, but I told them that we could never give up on the hope that the Ponies would one day accept us into Ponyville," Neptunia said. "Then Odym's Blue Ring sensed my hope and chose me to be the first Siren Blue Lantern." "And the rest is history," Neptunia said. "I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that," Sunset said in sorrow. "What happened to Poseidra?" "The Yellow Ring of the Sinestro Corp found him, and decreed him a Yellow Lantern," Neptunia said. "I hope to one day return to Equestria and Liberate my people from Poseidra's tyranny," Neptunia said. "Hmm, I hope you're daughters aren't in too much trouble," Sunset said. Suddenly, Sunset's ring started blinking, and as she made a construct of a map, saw a green dot heading straight for Odym at fast speeds." "I'm detecting something, Ganthet what is it," Sunset asked the Blue Lantern Guardian. "It appears to be a ship of Green Lantern Origin," Ganthet said as the ship came into view and crashed. "Green Lantern," Sunset asked in confusion. "Just as the Blue Lanterns are powered by hope, The Green Lanterns use the Green Light of Will-Power," Ganthet replied. As Sunset, Twilight, and Wallflower went to investigate, they saw two familiar faces who were unconscious on the ship. "Rainbow-Dash, Applejack," Sunset said in shock as they took their friends out of the ship to heal their wounds. (Meanwhile, on Ysmalt) Two red Lantern's, Zox and Skallox were to keep a rampaging Aria restrained long enough to go into the Blood Lake. "How long will this take, Zillias," Atrocitus asked sternly. "We're trying our best master, but she is very feisty," Zox said as he and Skallox lowered Aria into the Blood Lake. At first, nothing happened, but then, Aria burst out from the blood lake, gasping for air. "Aggh, I feel like I just got acid injected into my bloodstream," Aria wailed. "Welcome to Ysmalt, new Red Lantern," Zox stated. "You are now the newest soldier working for the righteous crusade of Atrocitus." "What do you mean what righteous crusade," Aria roared. "The Righteous Crusade against the guardians," Atrocitus proclaimed. "Anger, hatred, vengeance, that is why the ring of a Red Lantern chose you, Aria Blaze of Equestria." "Here, let me tell you our story, I would pay close attention if I were you," Atrocitus said. "In this part of our planet represents the Capital of Ysmalt, it could be any city or sector in our ravaged galaxy, and then The Guardians descended upon us," Atrocitus proclaimed. "They said that they would bring peace and order, but as the book of rage foretells, lies drawn in through their mouths." "They said kneel before us and you will want for nothing, but we would not worship them, and their wrath was deep and terrible," Atrocitus said. "The Blue Devils unleashed their Man-Hunters, as the Guardian's soulless avengers snuffed out every life, stealing every breath, and instilling every heart." "It was through my unholy hate that bore the first fruit of a Red Lantern," Atrocitus proclaimed. "I, your Lord Atrocitus of the five inversions." "Now, by our Red Lantern's light, we will punish the Guardians and their creations for what they have done," Atrocitus said. "Join my crusade, and we can destroy evil together." "What's stopping me from taking this thing off," Aria said as she tried to remove her ring. "I wouldn't advise that, once you have your ring, you can never take it off," Atrocitus stated. "That ring is your lifeline, and if you take it off, you won't survive for half a minute." "Also, the Man-Hunters were the ones that drove your species to near extinction," Atrocitus revealed. "Ugh, very well, Lord Atrocitus, I will join your righteous crusade, destroy the Man-Hunters and the Guardians, and take my revenge on those who have wronged me for so long," Aria said as her eyes glowed red with rage. "Very good, Aria Blaze of Equestria, you will be a great pawn in the Guardians' utter destruction, Atrocitus roared with laughter as Aria recited the oath of the Red Lantern Corps. "With blood and rage of crimson red, Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead, Together with our hellish hate, We'll burn you all--that is your fate!" (Meanwhile, in Equestria, in Canterlot Castle and King Sombra's Abandoned Strong-Hold in the Crystal Empire, and in the Human World). A Swarm of Black rings descended upon the land as they went to their targets. Then the rings spoke, "Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Storm-King, Emperor Metal-Beak, Princess Amore, Clover the Clever, Princess Platinum, Private Pansy, Commander Hurricane, Smart Cookie, Chancellor Puddinghead, Sable Spirit, Prince Hisan, Holder Cobblestone, King Grover, Commander Ironhead, Seed Investor, Stinkin' Rich, Pokey Oaks, Sew 'n Sow, Daybreaker, Sunset Satan, Gaia Everfree, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow...RISE!"
