Chapters Prologue
"Please don't kill me!" pleaded the young man.
"Ha-ha-ha, look at this guy, the kid is crying to dead family."-Grabs the young man by the shoulders- "Now, if your parents did not infer with our business, all of this could have be avoid. What do you guys think we should to him?" questioned one of the murderers.
"Kill him of course, we don't want any witnesses now do we," said the other murder. Then the first murderer threw the sad man on the ground. The young man got back up, fueled by rage, and tries to kill the murderers for his parents.
"I...I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!" yelled the young man. He started to run to the nearest murder, and then he was stopped by a shot of pain on his left arm. The young man looked at the arm and released he was shot by one of the killers.
"Whoa there tiger, you said that you were going kill us?! Look at you! What do you think you could do to us, punch us? We have guns you dumb ass, ha-ha!" laughed the murderer.
"No, I will kill you. Knowing that I kill my parent's killers will satisfy me! I w- the young man was cut off by a gun shot and everything went black. But before he passed out a voice out of nowhere called to him.
"George Rodriguez of sector 2814," said the anonymous voice, "You have great rage in your heart. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aarhhgghh!" I screamed. Ok it was just a dream. I looked at my wounds. Looks like I am almost done healing from that battle. Well time to leave the ship. I looked around the room and then got at of bed.
"I....m-must....ll-eave..." I growled a little when I said that. Damn it, since I got these powers it’s hard for me to talk normal. It’s like an animal is trying to talk for the first time. It has been one year since that incident, or what I like to call it my curse. The ring chooses me, because of my rage. It gave me the power to kill those murders and avenge my parents. But it was not enough for me. My human side change, my blood was replaced, my name replaced now I go by 'Blade', and my heart is now cold. Then the ring takes me to the Red Lantern home world to be a slave for them, the monsters. They train me, I tried to resist but somehow I still did them. I was becoming one of them, a killer, a murderer. By some miracle I manage to escape from this, nightmare. I left and became a rouge Lantern, which help me fueled my rage.
I picked up my lantern and walked down the hallway to the airlock, and then I press the button to open it. I was back to running again, back in space. You know after all this running from Lanterns, and I mean all the Lanterns: Red, Green, Blue, Sinestro, Star Sapphires, Indigo, Orange, White, and Black. All of them, to me, are my enemies and I hate every last one of them. Why did I take of the ring and leave, well when I was training I found out the hard way. One of my drill sergeants showed me by taking my ring off and my heart was on fire. He put it back on my hand and said,
"If the ring comes off, the user will die. So I rather keep it on for yours sake."
Well I have now choice, but to keep it on. Space is sometimes beautiful, very quiet, but beautiful. Man I need to find a planet to land and eat. It’s been three days since I last eat. Well because I ran into a couple of Lanterns from the Sinestro Corps. Long story short I killed them and took their ship. Hmm I see a planet coming to my sights. I wonder what sector I am in. I changed my course to the planet. The planet almost looks like Earth. Did I really come back to Earth? That's strange I don't see the Justice League Space Station. I started to get closer to the planet and then-
BOOM .
I was hit by a unknown green energy-Wait! Green Energy! Shit Green Lanterns! I got to run; I am no condition to fight.
"No," my ring spook, "we will face those Lanterns and kill them."
Well can we at least land on that planet and fight them there.
"Fine" With that said I flew towards to planet to fight off the Green Lanterns.
:Ponyville:
Well it’s another glorious day today in Ponyville. The sun is out; birds are chirping, and ponies going on their business. I hope nothing bad happen to them. Well enough about Ponyville(cause you know Blade is coming). Let’s go see how mane six is and Spike is doing on their peaceful picnic right outside of the town.
"Wow AJ, that was a good picnic," Twilight said after finishing her sandwich.
"Yeah AJ, Twilight is right. That was a best picnic!" Rainbow Dash shouted happily. The rest nodded happily after they ate.
"Aw chucks girls, it’s nothing," said Apple Jack, "It’s what friends are for."
As soon as, they started to head back to Ponyville.
Whhooooaasssshhhhhh BOOOMMM
A small red meteor crashed landed near Ponyville.
"Whoa! Did you guys see that!" yelled Rainbow.
"Yes Rainbow, we did. I think it was a meteor." Twilight replied.
"Should meteors be big or something Twilight?" questioned Spike.
"Sometimes Spike," said Twilight, "but it depends on how of it was lost while it was entering our atmosphere."
"Well what are we waiting for lets go see it," Rainbow said but she was stop by Apple Jack.
First Impressions
: Crash site:
“AAAAGGGGHHH” I shouted in pain. I got up off the ground and got out of the crash site. I looked around; it looks like the land was not touch by war. Flat land every were I look. Off in the desistance there was a nearby forest. The sky and the sun are beautiful. I not big on describing, but the best way to put is, peaceful. Too bad this land scape is going to use for a battlefield in a few minutes. I looked around for one last minute and then….
CRAP!
“What, what is it! SPEAK BOY!”
I lost the fucking battery when we came into the atmosphere.
“YOU FOOL! You better get it back; it is the only thing that can help you if I run out of power. You have enough rage to let me stay with you, but you need produce an endless supply of rage. The battery is just slowing us down, but I know how much you need it.”
The ring is right; I don’t have my own kind of rage to produce. After I went rouge, my rage dropped so much, that I need to steal a Red Lantern Battery to have an endless supply.
In a few minutes the Greenies will come. The fight will take most of our energy, but enough to find the battery. I was just admiring the view. Why the galaxy won’t just leave me alone.
“Maybe if you fought them in space, we wouldn’t be in this mess. And we could have hid from every lantern too.”
Hey I want to do it so we don’t have to fight in space. It’s too quiet, no loud noises .
“For once we can agree on things. WE LIKE LOUD NOISES! Strikes fear and shows power.” I yelled in to the air, because I know my ‘Blade’ side of me and the ring will like that. I was forced to be cooperative with them. It was the only way I can almost control my body, by meeting their bloodlust. The ring still has control of me and ‘Blade’, but sometimes I get carried away with it.
“Yeess…Blade…LIKES…our POWER!!” I shouted then the acid blood started to come out of my mouth. Good, I am ready to fight. My rage started to boiled, and I am in a battle stance waiting for my enemies to come. Close range, we can do more damage and the fight would be quick.
“I can’t wait until we ripped their hearts out of there frail bodies.”
I cringed when my ring said that. I may hate the Lanterns but I hate being a murderer. I kill some Black Lanterns and Lanterns from the Sinestro Corps. They want to use fear to rule the galaxy, but I since I am still a Red Lantern, the galaxy should fear the Red Lanterns. Part of me said that, but it’s true, and also my bloodlust. The Green Lanterns and Blue Lanterns don’t want to rule the galaxy, but they are still the enemies of the Red Lanterns. As for the other Lanterns Spectrum Colors, it depends on how they treat me. Every time encountered a Lantern (that is not Black or Sinestro) I run away from them with fear. Fear of me was losing control when I battle them. I don’t want to lose control of my body to the ring and the Red Lanterns. I don’t care for the war. I want them to leave me alone. No! We only kill Sinestro and Black Lanterns that was our deal. Let’s just-
“NO! We are Red Lanterns we kill! It is our nature it is in our blood. We don’t show mercy to our enemies, we only give death. Out of all the Red Lantern Corps, you are the weakest one. You let your emotions blind you of becoming a true warrior.”
No, I am a warrior, and a true warrior does not kill the innocent. I will not be treated as slave! THIS IS MY BODY AND I WILL CONTROLL IT AND YOU!
“YYESSSS! THERE YOU GO FEED ME WITH YOUR RAGE! I like it when you get mad. The angrier you get, I become stronger. The stronger I get, the harder it gets for you to control me.”
One day I will find a way and you will be the one serving me!
“Don’t make me laugh and let’s take care of this.”
Fine The Green Lanterns surround me with their rings fully charge for an attack.
“Aaarrrgghh!! KILL…..LANTERNS!” I scream into the air with my blood acid flew around me hitting the ground. The ground sizzles as my blood destroy anything it touches. My rage feels…..good, good for my power.
: 10 minutes before:
The girls and Spike walked towards the crash site to investigate it. While walking they saw something that caught their eyes.
“Umm girls what is that?” Pinkie said pointing at a strange red object. It looks like a red ball, with two funnels coming out of the sides, and has a handle. What is strange about it is it is glowing red, but there is no flame in it. “Let’s bring it back to Ponyville!” Pinkie was about to pick it up, but Twilight stopped her.
“Pinkie I don’t know if you should touch that still, don’t know what it is, or what it does,” Twilight moved Pinkie away from the object, “look I just pick it up with my magic.”
Twilight lifted the object with her magic and about to return to Ponyville to study it until…
“AAAAGGGGHHH”
The girls and Spike were shot up with fear from the yell off into a distance.
“W-what w-was that?” Fluttershy said hidden behind Apple Jack.
“Well whatever it is, let’s go find it.” Rainbow said as she prepares her flight.
As soon as Rainbow was about to fly, she was stopped by Apple Jack, “Whoa there Rainbow, lets travel together. We don’t know what is over there.”
“Fine” Rainbow flew down with her friends to find the creature.
“Yeess…Blade…LIKES…our POWER!!!!!”
They knew that they were close to the creature and hide by a nearby bush. What shocked them is a creature that they never seen before. In fact it was a living breathing red and black alien. Alien was a biped and from the looks of it was tall as Celestia. They could not tell if there was any fur on its body. Its mane was short and on fire. The face was tanned and it wore a mask around its white eyes. What made them fear it the most is its mouth? The teeth were sharp like it can pierce throw armor. The coming out of the mouth was blood, but it did not look harmed. But when they looked at the blood when it hit the ground it started to sizzle. Can it this creature shoot down lava at its enemies? Then they look lower at it arms then at its claws. They kept on looking at the alien until; the alien looked at the air and prepare itself for a fight. They look at what the alien was looking.
“Aaarrrgghh!! KILL…..LANTERNS!” The creature yelled.
There in front of them was two creatures wearing the same type of armor, green and black. One of the creatures looked like a griffon, but the other they never seen before. Both of the green creatures hovered in the air looking at the red one. Silence was upon them until the griffon spoke.
“Hey Red Lantern,” He shouted, “Get out of my planet! You are in Green Lantern Space. So get out here before we-”
The Red Lantern growled at them and anger was all over its face. It yelled at them with full rage. The Red Lantern raises his arm at them and shot a red light at the Green Lanterns. As soon as the Green Lanterns evade the light, the Red Lantern flew right towards them. The other Green Lantern was toe to toe, or hoof to hoof, with the Red Lantern. The Red one struck first and hoof to hoof combat. The Green one was struggling to defend itself, but the unthinkable happen. The Red one took its claw and struck the Green one in the stomach.
“Aaaghh” the green one yelled in pain. The griffon looked in fear at his fallen friend as he crashed bellowed them.
The Red Lantern yelled in victory then looked at the novice lantern. Below the fighting the girls and Spike looked at the entire scene. Since the Cantorlot wedding, they fought against the changlings without fear. But fear consume them, for they never seen so much violence before. Fluttershy was on the ground closing her eyes and started to cry. Apple Jack, Pinkie, and Spike try to cheer up Fluttershy. Twilight and Rarity looked at the Red Lantern then to the fallen Green Lantern with fear and concern in their faces. Rainbow on the other hand was full of anger. Who is this creature that came out of now where and scares her friends?
The Red Lantern flew towards the griffon but stopped.
: Back to Blade:
What? Why did we stop?
“I can feel the battery its close”
Well what do we do now?
“Find the battery first then we can finish this later.”
Ok then, well, where is it? As soon as I said that my body looked at a bush.
“There”
Alright then let’s get!
I flew down to the ground, but I was stopped by the novice Lantern.
“Hey! What are you doing come and fight me!” he yelled.
“No.....need…..battery.” I growled.
The novice Lantern eyes shrank, “W-what? Did you just talk? No Red Lantern I encountered talks.”
“Different” is all I said and walk past the rookie. I did not even looked at him all I care is the battery. When I got close to the bush it started to move. I went back to battle stance, then it attack. It was blue and fast plus it has a rainbow trail at the end? What the hell?
“Hmm, does not even look tuff. Kill that pathetic thing.”
As soon as it got close, I held my arm out and grab it by the throat. It was struggle to get itself free, but I grip harder to get a better look.
Wow
“I know”
In front of me is a pegasus, not just any pegasus a rainbow mane pegasus. Too bad I am going to kill it, it standing in front me and the battery.
“L-let go of me!” she cried trying to break free.
It talks, but more importantly it’s a she.
“Not surprise, throw it.”
I threw her away from me and walk towards the bush. As soon as a get there, there were six scared creatures. There was another pegasus, two regular horses, and two unicorns. What unicorns, is this place full of mythology? Then I look at the last creature and it looks like a large purple lizard. I looked away from them and looked at my battery covered in a purple aurora. The purple horse’s horn was also having the same aurora. I bent down to it. It looked away from me because she was afraid of me. I know that look anywhere. The same look that I get everywhere around the galaxy, fear.
Then I spoke to it, “Battery.”
But something hit me, something sharp and painful in my back. I fell to the ground and look behind me. It was the novice Lantern.
“That young inexperience fool. He used a cheap move to take us out.”
Maybe we should have taken him out too.
“P-please battery,” I pleaded in pain.
“T-this,” she spoke in fear.
“Yes,” I spoke. The pain is unbearable. I am becoming weaker by the second. If she does not give me the battery I will surely die.
“No”
“WHAT!”
She took a step back. “I said no.”
“Please, I die.” To late I am about to pass out. That novice took out must of my energy. I need to stay awake long enough to get the battery.
“Sorry you need rest. We will deal with them when you are ready.”
Fine, I need to rest. Then the blackness took over.
Introductions
“Damn it” Blade fell on the ground in front of Twilight. She looked at him in fear. Why did he not kill her and her friends? If he wanted the battery so much why didn’t he? She looked at the monster once more and looked at the griffon. The griffon was next to his friend. The griffon smiled at his friend and then looks at her friends and her.
“Excuse me miss, you need to stay away from him,” the griffon spoke,” he is still very dangerous so please.”
Twilight and her friends backed away from him. The griffon nodded and picked his friend up and moved towards them.
“Please, all of you leave. You are in Green Lantern business here.” The griffon said. “Plus I think your friend over there needs help.” He pointed to Rainbow Dash, who is knocked out on the ground.
Twilight’s friends rushed towards Rainbow Dash, except for Twilight and Spike.
“Don’t worry Twi we got this,” said Apple Jack, “Just find out what is going on.”
Twilight and Spike walked towards the Green Lanterns, for questions like; why they are here and why are they telling them to leave if it’s part of their business too?
“Hey,” yelled Twilight, “this is our business too. What gives you the right come here and fight? Then leave without that creature’s punishment.”
The griffon was surprise by this. Don’t tell me these ponies royal . “Look um…”
“Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant, Spike.”
Crap! The elements are here and that Red Lantern attack one of them. “Look Miss Sparkle, you don’t know what you and your kingdom are dealing with. Just let us go take him and…”
“No,” Twilight interrupted, “you, your friend and this creature here are going to Cantorlot.”
Ah oh, wait. What she going to do? All I need to do is take this two and go to Oa. The griffon smirked. “And how are you going to do that? I don’t think you are strong enough to take me, my friend, my enemy, your friends, and yourself to Cantorlot.” the griffon laughed. “Plus I am way more powerful than you so.”
“Powerful than me maybe,” Twilight said then smirked, “but I know a pony who can.”
“Who?” questioned the griffon?
“ME!” the griffon turned around to the new voice. It’s no other than Princess Celestia.
Great now I have to face the Princess, elements, and Red Lantern. This day keeps getting better and better. She came closer with preparing to punish them. What should I do? Talk to her, run away, fight her? I charged up my ring, but my sergeant stops me.
“What are you doing Beowulf?” he whispers. “You don’t want to make us look bad even more just explain the situation.” Beowulf nodded while his sergeant rest again.
Beowulf put his sergeant down and turned towards Celestia. “Um…Good evening Princess Celestia, I a-“
“SILENCE,” Celestia cuts him using her Cantorlot voice, “how dare you hurt one of the elements and threaten the rest.”
“Please princess let me ex-“
“Why should I,” using her normal voice, “you are a griffon that was probably sent to assassinate the elements from your superiors.”
“NO! I was here to protect them from him.” Beowulf said pointing at the red lantern. “If I did not stop him, HE would have killed them and this entire planet. So you should be thanking me and helping my sergeant. Plus I have a name, it’s Beowulf.”
He was looking at her angry, until the Celestia speaks, “I am sorry Beowulf, and I should not have jumped to conclusions. But seeing that one of the Elements hurt and my ponies threaten by powerful creatures I do anything to protect them.”
Celestia looks at him for forgiveness. Beowulf smiled, “Its ok you were protecting your ponies, but I have to take him back to Oa.”
Beowulf moved toward the red lantern, but Celestia stops him, “No he needs to face justice for harming and threatening the Elements. He needs to go to Cantorlot.”
Beowulf, Twilight, and Spike mouths dropped. Why take a monster over there? He will destroy and kill everything in his path. “Princess no offense, but have you seen this ‘human’ fight? He took out my sergeant and one of the Elements without breaking a sweat. He spits blood acid that melts you away. Rage consumes him he will kill everything in his path. You and your sister can’t reason him.”
Celestia raised her brow, “Are you saying that my sister and I can’t handle him.”
“Yes!”
“How?”
“You see that?” Beowulf said point at the red battery, “That is a battery meant for red lanterns. It powers them up to help them defeat their enemies.”
“Well that’s simple we take it away from him,” Said Twilight.
Beowulf shook his head, “No it’s not. They will get angry, making them more powerful and desperate to take it back. But why does he need it? All red lanterns can constantly generate their power.”
“Well with me, my sister, the Elements, and you, we could hold him,” said Celestia.
“Yeah but the other problem is that he is like an animal.”
“What do you mean?” question Twilight.
“No matter how many times you talk to them, they can’t understand you. All they know is kill first and never asked questions.”
“So how can we?”
“Well I don’t know only my sergeant knows, but he is critically injured.”
Celestia nodded, “Then we must go to Cantorlot, locked this ‘Red Lantern’ in the dungeon, and heal your friend.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. What about your people? If he gets out he will kill everything.”
Twilight put her hoof on her chin, “Well even if he could we have the elements. We can trap him in stone like we did with Discord.”
“My student is right.” Said Celestia she charged up her horn and teleported everyone to Cantorlot.
“Princess” bowed the guards. Then the guards saw Beowulf, his sergeant and the Red Lantern next to the princess. They prepare to arrest them, but Celestia stops them.
“Don’t worry my guards. The Beowulf and his friend are friends, but the red one is going to the dungeon for punishment,” said Celestia.
“Yes Princess” The guards saluted and dragged the Red Lantern to the dungeons.
“Private”
“Yes Princess.”
“Take Beowulf’s friend to the infirmary and heal him.” The guard nodded and takes the injured Green Lantern. After the guard left the room Rainbow woke up.
“Ugh what happen,” Rainbow said while rubbing her head.
“Rainbow!” her friends cheered and hugged her.
Rainbow chuckled, “Oh come on, and I’m fine just tell me what happen?” Rainbow’s friends backed away. She looked at them confused, “What’s wrong?”
Beowulf walked up to her and her friends then greeted then, “Hello my name is Beowulf of the Green Lantern Corps, um nice to meet you.”
Rainbow looked at him then tackled him on the ground, “Run girls I got this griffon.”
Then she was picked up by a green aura that was from the griffon. “Hey I am the guy who saves you and your friend’s ass. You should be saving me!”
“Everypony calm down!” yelled Fluttershy. Everyone looked at her and then hide behind her mane. “Eep, S-sorry but Beowulf is telling the truth.”
“Yeah sugar cube he save us from that Red Lantern fella,” said Apple Jack.
“See I save you and your friends so peace?” Beowulf said will setting free Rainbow.
He pull out will claw to Rainbow and then she shook it, “Fine but I will keep an eye on you.”
“Good now we must meet my sister and talked about you, your friend, and that Red Lantern.” Celestia said and started to walked towards the castle.
The others nodded and walk with her with Beowulf behind them. This is going to be a long day . Beowulf thought.
