THE PLANET YISMAUTH: "You know the scale of the universe. The
vast amount of rage that it contains...How am I I Atrocitus
supposed to seek justice for such a catastrophe, which ails
should my Red lantern corps answer first? Is some rage worth
more vengeance than others? Do you remember Ghan ix Krona? It is
a planet engulfed in rage, a universe In miniature conflict....
I'm certain you've followed its evolution since you were a
guardian of the universe. The yerevur had come to put down a
vicious local war...But that was soon forgotten."
GHAN IX 2 WEEKS AGO:All out warfare had broken throughout the
planet, the Yerevur, a type of space police were dawned in riot
gear, there green skin and pupil less eyes still showed fear as
they were attacked by the Ghanites a war type people with pale
white skin, and war paint all over there bodies. A civil war was
in effect by the two tribes but when the yerevur showed they
both began attacking them, and they attacked right back. But
with every death, every camp lost , the Ghanites resolve was
increased. Yerevur atrocities multiply when they engage in
reverse attacks. Anyone thought to be allying with the occupiers
received swift and brutal justice. In short, the perfect
breeding ground for rage and pain.
And of course hatred. A ship flies between canyons and dodges
fire, "Maybe you should be down there fighting with them."
"Remember = Rannheim, remember what they did to him?" "They're
not all like that Harr." "My god who's side are you on Knapp?"
"All I know is that I want to go home, I have a wife and a two
year old daughter don't even think we should be here." The ship
next to them says over the intercom "Harr Knapp we should head
back to base, there's nothing out here and were wasting our-
INCOMING!" Suddenly a rocket hits the other ship. "Lets go
Knapp, place is infested with yourfriends" "They're not my
friends Harr!" "C'mon why aren't we moving!" "5 o'clock might be
missiles." "No they're not moving, might be the bastards who
shot us!" "Might be Knapp we don't know." "C'mon Harr we got to
do this, for Rannheim!"
On the surface "Rixx stop playing with that doll and help us
move the wood." "Youre not my pa you ant tell me what to do
Arkkon!" "You heard mama since pa was exiled I need to act
like-wait you hear that! Yervers!" I'm not comfortable with this
Harr I mean we don't even know what those things are!" "Cmon
Knapp weve been sitting in this ship for 2 weeks getting shot at
but now that we have these bastards in the open You're not sure!
Wait , they have weapons!"
"Cmon move Rixx, move Zo we need to-" The ship opens fire.
"AIEEE!' "AGGGGH!" The litte girl makes it to a rock and starts
to cry. "Zo?" "Arkkon?"
"We did it man! We finally got revenge for what those bastards
have been doing to us!" "Ya I guess we did."
Sometimes amidst the cacophony of rage a voice can be heard, A
scream. ""DEATH TO THE YERNEVERS!" Its a scream of the victim,
the hurt, the worthy.
"We should have gotten closer, more definite." "And get shot
down top? Don't worry we did it by the book, we had sufficient
evidence to deem them hostile, don't worry were good." Suddenly
a ball of red comes soaring at the ship "What the hell?" "Is
that one of ours?"
The worthy, what does that mean? How is ones rage worth more
than another's? "SHOOT IT DAMIT SHOOT!" "Its moving....so fast."
How can ones rage be more worthy of retribution? The phtons and
high explosives send shockwaves through my nervous system. Its
the memory of that scream that wakes me "My god its still
alive!" That rage! Something about makes me feel like how I felt
all those eons ago on Ryut. I ripped open the door of the ship
:I only need one of you!" the other and the ship crash in a ball
of fire. "He was only 20 years old, he hadint even begun living
yet you monster!" "Me the monster? Don't be deceived Yerver, it
is not I who is the monster." I fly him to the two dead
children, there guts, blood and brains splattered on the dirt. "
This is your justice, do you feel proud to have slaughtered two
unarmed children?" "No that's impossible! We....We detected guns
there is no way that...." "I was sure they were packing. Who are
you?" "I am an instrument of justice, I wreak vengeance on
behalf of the defenseless, My rage is your death!" "Bt...I
honestly thought they were hostile I didn't mean to-" "The pain
is identical, therefore the punishment is the same." "But I have
a wife and kid! Who's going to seek justice for them?!" "THE
BLAME FOR THIS IS YOUR OWN!' I blast him with molten plasma. But
the point he made is true, does rage simply beget more rage?
This is the source, the place of the pure rage, the rage most
deserving of retribution. I see the doll on the floor "The doll
my poor child. Ryut, another doll, another time. "My brothers
they.. they ,,,they, they killed them." Maybe I can take this
child back to ysmault, maybe her rage can help pick the ones
most needed for retribution? Maybe she can help remember, who I
am. I grab the child's arm and she begins to scream "No child
please I mean you no harm." She runs away "I am sorry."
YSMAULT: A planet I share with my red lanterns. Ghan Ix was
indeed a miniature conflict, a cacophony of rage, but a child
reminded me that some rages were worth more retribution than
others. And a dying man reminded me that the universe is a
complex place. To face the tragedies of the universe I will
surely require intelligent help, more than just the human.
"There fore I've decided Korna I will bestow one of my lanterns
with intelligence almost as great as mine." I look to see all of
my lanterns fighting, Bleez stands in front of them.
"The question is, who shall I pick?"
