FLASH/BLANTURN FIRST FLIGHT
DIR By: the streak

Finally… the man of the hour has arrived! Two sugars?" one of
the officers asked as Donovin carried two cup carriers full of
coffee.
"Yes, sir, Brent. Here you are. Where's Betty? Betty's got the
red top. This one's for you- yes, thank you. And the rest are
just black, Get your own accessories." he said with his
trademark fast speech as he handed out the coffee to the
grabbing officers.
Within twenty seconds, the coffee was all gone and he threw the
cardboard carriers in the trash. He shook his head as the
officers went back to their cubicles and returned to their work.
he eyed the forensics door and walked towards it, flashing his
I.D. badge as he walked inside and was surprised to see a
long-forgotten face.
"Louie?" he asked with a smile, running up to his childhood
friend and giving him a big hug.
"How are you, Donovin? You look great, man." he replied,
slapping Donovins stomach.
"Jeez. You really slimmed down. You run a lot?" he continued.
"A hell of a lot more than I used to, man."
Donovin noticed the U.S. Air Force leather jacket and could see
the word FERRIS wrapped around his left sleeve. He gave him a
gratuitous slap on the back and look at the strange green ring
Louie wore on his right middle finger.
"Have you gotten married or something?" tapping the ring
slightly.
"Heh. No. But it's the reason I wanted to see you."twisting the
heavy ring around his finger as he watched a lab tech from the
corner of his eye.
"You look nervous, man. What'd you do? Go to Star and get
married to a stripper or something?" he laughed slightly before
biting his lip in hesitation.
"Oh ****." his eyes widened.
"No. No. No. It's not anything like that but now… I am part of
something bigger."
"Bigger than a Ferris pilot? That's a big deal, man. I got your
e-mail a few months back when you got accepted in. Good job." he
replied, scanning his former friend and seeing that he was
extremely eager to tell him something.
He was a baseball player, had a scholarship and his whole life
planned out until his father was killed during a terrorist
attack in Eastern Asia. His father, took the skies to defend the
broken city and was killed when a nuclear bomb was unleashed,
destroying the city and damaging the sector of Asia for decades.
After his father's heroic attempt, Louie quit his sports career
and joined the Air Force without any questions asked. He quickly
became a recognized pilot in the military and received many
awards including the medal of valor for saving his base from a
sneak attack from a suspicious mercenary-like team. He was
honorably discharged and made a test pilot for Ferris Aircraft's
newest flight technologies. he didn't mind. He was still serving
his country with bravery and a sense of patriotism
"Thanks, bud. I really need to talk to you. I've needed to catch
up since we last had a real hang-out and I was surprised to see
you were closer to me and Carol. Things didn't work out in
Gotham?" Hal asked, brushing back his short blonde hair as the
A.C. blew in his face from the vents above.
"No ive met somwone, whell several someones. But her name is
selina. selina West. I met her at a conference for international
crime and prevention at the Gotham Pavilion Center. We really
hit it off and the flights became too expensive every month so I
decided to get a job here. I was working at the S.T.A.R. lab
here in Hub,but when that accelerator blew… that ended that. But
I was already working here as a forensic expert." he explained
as Louie sat down at Donovins desk.
"Whoa. Were you… there when the thing exploded?" He asked,
folding his arms as he kept fondling the emerald ring.
"Yeah. No big deal, though. Let me-um- just send this footprint
cast analysis to the chief and we can take an hour or two off.
How long you staying in Hub?" he asked, reaching inside his desk
and pulling a beige thick packet that was tied up and sealed.
"However long I need. Got great flight deals now." his friend
replied.
"Good. Be right back. I want to hear about that ring, man."
"Okay, Louie,I trust you and everything… but when someone takes
me down a dark alley and stretches… it gives off the wrong
vibes." Donovin said as he watched his friend stretch his arms
and legs.
After leaving the HCPD, The two walked down the streets for six
blocks until Louie noticed no people were walking around. He
told him to enter the alley on the left and prepare to be
amazed. Donovin wasn't sure what to expect but knew it had to be
something pretty amazing involving the strange green ring that
Louie couldn't stop paying attention to.
"Okay. Don't be freaked out and please don't run away."
Louiesaid, ignoring Donovins comment.
"Oh, God. I'm seriously worried now."he replied, stepping back a
foot and watching as Louie took a deep breath.
He watched in curiosity as the ring began to glow an eerie
green, covering his body completely with a steady and electric
hum in the air. Before he could speak, the green light briefly
blinded him and when his vision returned, a green figure with
Louies body shape stood in front of him. The suit seemed to
pulse with green energy like food coloring swirling in a glass
of water. A green strip covered Hal's eyes and went completely
around his head, his eyes transformed into a milky-white.
His hair was left untouched by the power of the ring and his
face remained the same shape, a smile creeping across Hal's
face. It wasn't until a few seconds later that Donovin was aware
that Hal was floating lightly, the tips of his black-green boots
inches from the damp ground. He looked in the middle of his
chest and saw a strange symbol similar to the black widow
spider's insignia that was planted on their backs. his mouth
went dry and he was in complete shock.
"What in the hell happened to you?" he asked, staring at the
ring that was now a part of his glove, safe from being removed.
"It's a long story, man. I needed to tell you. I haven't shown
anyone else except the other Lanterns." he replied, his voice
having a small hum to it at the end of his sentence.
"Lanterns? What?" he asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Last month, I was driving home from Ferris and I saw a
ship-like thing fall from the sky and land about six miles from
me. I thought it was just a shooting star and I kept on driving.
Well… about five minutes later, my window was completely
shattered from a little green object that shot from the air. I
grabbed it… and it tossed me from the car and I flew across
Coast City until I landed in the middle of the wilderness. That
shooting star was actually an alien spaceship. And the pilot was
part of a…" He explained, giving a loud sigh before continuing.
"An intergalactic space corps that protects different sectors of
the universe. We are far from alone,I've seen hundreds- no,
thousands of different species on Oa, the home base for the
Green Lanterns. That's what I am now. A Green Lantern. My sector
is 2814 and I've been assigned to protect the Solar System and
the outer limits of the Milky Way whenever there is danger. Is
this hard for you to digest because I can slow down?"
"No. No, I'm fine. But… I want to show you something just so I
don't look like an idiot. Hold on, I'll let you finish your
story." hesaid, still slightly fazed but excited to show his
best friend his secret.
Louie crossed his arms once again and watched as within a
literal blink of an eye, Donovin was gone. He blinked again and
turned around, his friend nowhere in sight.
"What in the-?" he began to himself before feeling a tap on his
shoulder.
"Hey, hey!" Donovin said, now dressed as the Scarlet Speedster
in all its red and yellow glory.
Hal laughed out loud and touched his friend's shoulders.
"Yep. What a coincidence." he said with a smile, standing proud
next to the glowing space enforcer.
"Wow. This is pretty amazing. You can run fast right?" he asked,
just as shocked as Donovin was.
"Yeah. Yeah I can run." Donovin laughed.
"Wait…" Louie said, staring at the yellow energy running across
the suit.
he turned his head and looked at Louie with his hands on his
hips.
"That particle accelerator did this, didn't it? How are you
alive?"
"I don't know. How are you an alien space cop?" he replied.
"Hm. Good questions. I think we can properly catch up now." He
said with a smile.

---------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the next hour and a half, the two best friends told
each other their strange origins and everything they had been
through. Louie had fought a starfish-like alien with
mind-control abilities on a tropical planet and trained with
alien warriors that looked like fish and pigs while Donovin
fought against high-class criminals with sonic-beam weapons and
dealt with a underground hippy who threatened to blow up the
subway system. They talked about their girlfriends and the
secrets they hid, about their jobs and how they interfered, even
random subjects like the suspected Bat-Man and the sightings of
possible powered beings like the two of them.
"I still can't believe this." Donovin said with a smile,
standing on top of a skyscraper with Louie as a light drizzle
hit their costumes.
"I know. Do you know all the good we can do together?" he asked
as he looked at the city.
"So… what can that ring really do?" he asked.
"It's attached to my brain and nervous system. If I can think
it… the ring can construct it. As long as I'm strong and my
willpower is good, it's stable and real." He replied, quickly
conjuring up a fighter jet that resembled Ferris Aircraft-made
ones on the roof.
Donovin backed up and laughed loudly, seeing the bright-green
object appearing from thin air. He looked at Louie with a
puzzled look and leaned forward toward it.
"Go ahead. Get inside. Just don't start it up." Louie quipped as
he hopped on the wing and laughed at the realness of the ring's
construct.
As he opened up the hatch and got inside, he was amazed at how
real it all felt. He gripped his red gloves against the steering
stick and looked out the ****pit window, seeing the barely
noticeable glare from the green-tinted glass.
"So… are you a magic warrior or something?" he asked as he
jumped out of the construct jet.
"No, actually. I thought the same thing but it's all scientific
believe it or not. Our minds are more advanced than we ever
could have dreamed of. We can do these sorts of things but most
don't have the willpower or personal belief to do so. The ring
helps activate the full capacity of our brains and let us
literally be… limitless in imagination and critical thinking."
he explained, dissolving the jet and generating a small-scale
model of the human brain with bright green flashes highlighting
the areas he was discussing.
"I'm literally speechless. And that never happens!" he laughed,
looking as the brain model dissolved into the air.
"That's a first. But I understand. It's really been an
adventure. I'll tell you that much. he replied, shaking small
drizzled rain from his hair and spotting a fast-moving car that
swerved dangerously on the highway bridge.
Donovin caught his gaze and saw the car followed by a gunshot,
the sound reaching them two seconds later. They looked at each
other and gave a smile as three police cars rushed after the
shooting vehicle.
"You really wanna try this?" Louie asked, floating upward and
preparing to fly off.
"Sure. This'll be fun." he replied with a smile; backing up to
the back corner of the rooftop and running as fast as he could.
He saw Louie watch in amazement in slow motion as he leaped
forward and soared through the air, wind flowing by as he
targeted the apartment complex ahead of him. He fell 150 feet
before his feet touched the side of the brick wall beside him,
using the Speed Force to jump ahead of gravity and walk up the
side, leaping off as he reached the other wall.
He looked behind himself and saw him, covered in a green aurora,
flying behind him with great speed. He pushed his legs off from
the wall and grunted slightly, letting go of the Speed Force and
enjoying the adrenaline rush he felt as his stomach flipped and
the wind slid past his small cowl that slid over his head. He
was forty feet from the ground before he grabbed hold of the
glass pane of a bank building, the special textures inside his
boot soles allowing him to walk vertically without gravity
taking control too fast. Donovin used an electric pulse to shoot
him off from the window, launching himself twenty feet into the
air, the Scarlet Speedster laughing loudly as he saw Louie
approach him and encased him inside a green bubble.
"Holy crap! What is this?" he said loudly, looking around and
noticing that the bubble was like a trampoline, his feet and
arms stretching through before bouncing back.
"A ring bubble is what I call it. Alright...I'm gonna land you
on the road. Make sure you stop him. There's a traffic jam about
a half-mile up. Get this guy to stop!" he replied, flying to the
highway as civilians on the ground stared in disbelief and
pointed at the two heroes.
"Let's do it! Drop me!" he said with a nod, slightly knocking
the bubble and tensing up as Louie dissipated the bubble.
Donovin flew ten feet to the ground and landed in a acrobatic
pose. He looked up and saw the squad cars approaching him. He
began to ran and felt the Speed Force take hold. He could feel
the electric impulses flying through his neurons and
inner-workings. He gave a smile as he reached 100 MPH and
approached the fleeing vehicle. He watched as SMG bullets flew
in his direction. He gasped and slid on his knees, the knee-pads
not even stopping him as his head scraped briefly against the
asphalt. He gave a smile as he flew back up and onto the back of
the car, making it swing sternly to the left. he grunted and
punched straight through the back window, glass showering the
gunners and making them back up. he leaned over and reached
inside, met with a gun to his head. He heard the chamber about
to turn and grabbed the gun, letting the gunman fired as the
bullets hit the road and the back left tire. The rubber popped
off and the car slid out of control as he saw the giant green
wall that Louie had formed. He jumped from the car and rolled
onto the road, standing in front of the police squad cars as the
car slammed into the wall.
"Stand back, gentlemen. Everything's fine!" Donovin yelled as
the officers aimed their guns at him.
"Don't tell us what to do, Flash-boy. We have this under
control." the older officer said, putting his weapon down as the
giant green wall dissolved and a green figure lowered himself to
the ground, his green glow around his body disappearing as he
walked over to Donovin.
he gave a quick nod to his friend and let the officers do their
job.
"Who are you supposed to be?" the officer asked as he holstered
his pistol.
"I'm Green Lantern. Coast City." Louie said in a voice that was
changed by the ring's energy.
"He's on vacation. We're cousins and we were going to go
shopping but..." Donovin smarted.
"Ha. You're funny. Um... thanks, I guess. See you around?" he
asked.
"Definitely, Marcus." Donovin said, accidentally letting his
real identity out as he knew the man.
As the two colorful heroes flew away, the officer rose an
eyebrow and was puzzled beyond belief.

Wow. That was fun. Nice running." Hal said as he flew across the
city, Donovin laying back in the ring bubble.
"Thanks. Nice... green wall thing." his remark almost sounding
like a question.
Louie shook his head and laughed slightly as the rain stop and
the sun began to burst from the dark clouds. As the sun hit
their hidden faces, Donovin tensed up and looked to the west.
Hal saw his gaze and looked at it as well. It was another Green
Lantern flying to their location fast. Louie aimed the ring at
the Lantern who flying near them and cleared his throat.
"Who's that?" Donovinasked, his molecules preparing for a dash.
"Ring. Identify."The ring that was now fused into the fabric
began to glow as Hal aimed for the Lantern.
The ring scanned the figure approaching and gave an audible
readout to him as the figure came into focus.
"Green Lantern Thaal Sinestro. Space sector 1417." the ring
replied in a monotone and androgynous voice.
he lowered his ring and gave a small smile
"A friendly?" he asked.
"Yes. Barry... meet my mentor and fellow soldier, Thaal Sinestro
of sector 1417." He replied, opening his arms as Sinestro landed
on the roof and gave him a big hug.
"It's been three months. I'm glad to see that the Starros'
actions didn't scare you off." Sinestro replied, giving a quick
glance at Donovin.
Donovin was silently disturbed by the Green Lantern's appearance
and looked him up and down quickly before giving a brief smile.
Sinestro was dressed in an outfit identical to Louies except for
a slightly slimmer physique. His skin was dark-pink in tone and
he had a pencil mustache below his nose. His eyes were the same
as Louie milky-white with the mask covering around his eyes and
sinking in to the back of his hair. He had a demeanor that
dripped with leadership and strength. He look confident, even
while just standing with a fellow Lantern. He was definitely an
alien and definitely a leader in the Green Lantern Corps.
"Who is your... colorful friend, here?" Sinestro asked, looking
at Donovin's costume.
"This is Donovin Craig. He can run. Fast." Hal replied.
"How fast?" Sinestro asked, looking at the traces of yellow
energy flowing through the suit.
"I can manipulate physics and the molecules in my body. I've hit
800 MPH once and I can phase through things if I concentrate
hard enough. Probably not that impressive when you can create a
freaking jet with your mind but hey... I try." Donovin said,
speaking fast and sarcastically.
Thaal looked at Hal and sighed.
"What? Don't worry. We can trust him. I've known this man all my
life. He's not a threat to the Corps, Thaal." he said, holding
his mentor's shoulder.
"Yes. I won't say a word. Scout's honor." Donovin said, giving a
salute.
"Or Lantern's honor. Heh. Heh." he continued with a quick laugh
as he put his hand down.
Sinestro turned his head away with any acknowledgement and
looked at Louie with deep intent.
"What'd you track me down for? Something wrong with the
Lanterns?" he asked, walking to the opposite end of the roof
while Donovin felt like the third wheel.
"It's the Manhunters. They've been unleashed once again. The
Guardians have asked me to take you to Oa for mission briefing.
There are a few too far off to reach contact and Kilowag is in
serious medical trouble due to the first attack. We need you to
stop the rogues." Sinestro said in a quiet voice.
"Oh, God. How many?" he replied, eyeing Donovinfor a moment
before staring at Hub city as it continued to run on.
"Maybe 2,000. We can't be sure. They are heading to every
Kryptonian outpost in the three main galaxies. There is one in
the Arctic." Sinestro said.
"Kryptonians? I thought they were gone after their planet was
destroyed almost 30 years ago?" Hal asked, noticing that Donovin
wanted to get in on the conversation.
"That is true. But during their age of exploration, they sent
out research ships all over, hoping to plant new life and start
new civilizations. Your planet is host to one of those outposts.
We need to leave now." Sinestro said, preparing his ring.
"Just let me say goodbye to my friend, okay?" He said, watching
Sinestro nod as he hovered ten feet above the stone roof.
"So... you going on an intergalactic adventure?" Donovin asked,
crossing his arms.
"Yep, I am. I'll have to talk to you later. I promise I'll be
back." Hal replied.
"What's this about Manhunters and Krypto ships in the
Antarctic?" his friend asked.
Louiesighed and looked at Louie.
"It's the Arctic. There's a ship in the Arctic. Right here,
apparently." he explained as a GPS of the Earth appeared from
the center of his ring.
Donovin rose an eyebrow and focused in on the location. He saw
Sinestro giving him a suspicious look and he quickly took his
eyes off the ring's GPS hologram. He patted Louie's shoulder and
cleared his throat as he hovered into the air.
"I'll see you later!" he yelled as he shot higher into the
cloudy sky.
"Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone!" He yelled back,
shooting into the atmosphere at an impossible speed; a large
green trail fading into the air.
Hm. Louie thinks he's all big and bad now that he's got a ring
and a group of space cops. Now that I've got the coordinates...
he thinks to himself as he opened a compartment inside his
friction-proof metal belt and pulled out his portable GPS. He
had seen the correct numbers and inputted them inside it. He
watched as seconds later, the tracer flew across the map and
ended up in the middle of nowhere. He had the right location.
Within two hours, he could be at the Krypto's ship or whatever
sooner than they'd be done flying through space.
Let's see how bad these Manhunters really are...

Donovin stuck his phone in his belt with a smile and looked
around at the wilderness. He saw tree leaves blowing in the wind
and the chilly air brushing by him. He pulled out the GPS and
saw that he was still hundreds of miles away. He still had a
ways to go and he hoped to arrive before Louie could steal the
show. Just because they had literally unlimited power and a cool
suit, didn't mean that the fastest man alive had to sit on the
benches. he was made to run. And that's what he was going to do.
thirty minutes later . . .
The snowfall had begun and Donovin's cowl was covered with frost
that had hardened to the eyepieces. It had only been thirty
minutes and running over 500 MPH and now, he pulled out his GPS
and saw that he was sixteen miles from the Krypto spaceship. It
wasn't that much of a stretch for him. After receiving his
powers, it was hard to doubt anything again. Seriously, who else
could run over 700 MPH and shoot electric energy at will? It was
hard to accept that he was the only one of his kind in the
entire universe but now, his fear set in as he thought about the
"Manhunters" that Louie and Sinestro had mentioned. What was a
Manhunter and how much of a threat could they possibly be? Barry
would find out soon and he wasn't so sure he'd like the
surprise.
four minutes later . . .
What the hell is that? he said to himself as he had trekked up a
mountain made of pure snow and saw a gigantic metal capsule
half-covered in thick snow. It was definitely something
non-human. It was huge, silver metallic in color, and looked
like it had a giant underbelly beneath the mountains of snow. He
cracked his neck and moved on, running across the snow, his
speed too fast for gravity to catch up and make his weight sink
into the powdery precipitation. He looked around and didn't see
any signs of life. He ran across the thick covering of snow that
continued to rain down and he stopped as he touched the side of
the Krypto craft and found the material extremely thick. He
knocked on it and shook his head, not even feeling a vibration.
Whatever the craft was made from, it was created from an
extremely dense and defensive element that most likely
safeguarded its journey through space.
Donovin looked around the sides of the ship and saw a strange
symbol on a crest-like plague that had a symbol that looked
almost exactly like an "S" if it was made by a welder with fancy
penmanship. He ran his fingers over the symbol and was in awe.
The alien species who had created this had writing that was
extremely similar to the English language and just humans in
general. he had always been an open-minded person but just the
fact that he knew that there were several hundred kinds of
aliens who were part of something as absurd as a galactic police
force made him lose his breath. The universe had just had its
doors blown apart and suddenly, a sense of doom impending and no
control hit him. For all his speed, his sub-human powers, he was
nothing compared to Thaal Sinestro or Louie. They had a name:
Green Lanterns. What was he? Fast-Guy?
Give me a break. What am I doing here? he thought to himself as
he kept walking around the Krypto spacecraft.
He put his head against the craft and stood still for a moment,
hearing the whistling of the wind soaring through his mask. Snow
began to coat him and he shivered slightly as he saw the door of
the craft suddenly slide open. He backed up and watched while
the metal door slid upward and the gears creaked around. He
looked around and saw florescent lights pop on down the long
hallway of the Krypto craft. He looked around the craft and gave
a slow and quiet hum as he tiptoed around the inside of the
ship. All along the sides of the hallway, he saw various boxes
that were most likely control panels or something of a similar
design. He ran his fingers around the strange metal and noticed
strangely that even the smell of the element was strange; unlike
anything on Earth. He didn't want to venture too far within the
Krypto craft for fear of being stuck permanently in an alien
spaceship but was extremely curious about the inner workings of
the ship. As he inched forward, he began to hear loud roaring
that burst over the roaring wind and the echo of Barry's
actions. He flipped his head around to the door and ran with the
Speed Force, causing the metal underneath to dent slightly under
Barry's feet. Barry looked outside and his heart skipped more
than one beat. Outside, and far into the sky were dozens upon
dozens of red figures that were heading toward the Krypto craft.
He widened his eyes in fear and realized that they were the
threat he was warned about. And the Green Lanterns were nowhere
to be seen.
"Where the hell are you, Louie..." he said to himself through
grit teeth.
He watched the Manhunters fly through the air and push the force
of wind from their metallic bodies as they slammed into the ice
and shook the ground through their heavy wear. he hid behind the
corner of the giant door and watched in awe and fear as the
Manhunters looked around and scanned the area with disturbing
body movements. Their heads were huge and human-shaped, their
faces had no human features but three green cylinders that stuck
out from all parts of the face, and the head moved around like a
hungry bird. The bodies were well over 1,000 pounds, the red
head and chest pieces of the Manhunters glowing with power.
Every step they took, they conquered the area with fear and
nothing but pure power. Mechanized noises vibrated through the
freezing air with every miniscule movement and every time they
scanned another part of the cold landscape, a garbled mishmash
of electronic noise went sent through the bottom cylinder.
Donovin peered past the door again but one of the patrolling
Manhunters spotted him, firing a blast from a wrist gauntlet at
the door. The blast bounced off the alien metal but shook the
wall inside the craft. he zoomed out of the way and ran outside
of the craft, looking in great detail at the Manhunters as he
flew up onto the top of the craft as quickly as he could. He
dodged several more blasts as the Manhunters fired with
near-deadly precision at the speedster. He groaned in pain as a
slow blast of powerful blue energy grazed the side of his cowl.
It burned through the highly resistent polymer and slightly
caused pain on the left side of Barry's head before he rested a
second on the top of the Krypto craft. He looked around and saw
ten of the Manhunters storm into the craft. he knew if they
breached the ship, not only would the ship need help, so would
the Lanterns. He quickly jumped down from the front of the ship
and slammed into a Manhunter trying to enter inside. He watch as
the three cylinders sunk into the metal framing of the face and
the electronic garbles were high-pitched and aggressive.
The sheer strength of the Manhunter's arms brought him down to
his knees and he struggled with all his might to have the
concentration to vibrate the molecules in his body. Within a
split-second, he was lose of the Manhunter's grip and he grabbed
its head, tossing it into the Krpyto craft's wall. The head
crashed against the metal and he tried to ripped it off as two
Manhunters fired at him. He blocked the blue blasts with the
dying body of the android and ran at the two Manhunters at 200
MPH. The android shield was completely flat on the back side but
the two shooters flew over 50 feet backward, colliding into the
ice with a hard landing. he dropped the dead Manhunter and
turned around, seeing dozens of more red and green shooters
heading for him. He sped toward them at 500 MPH and screamed
loudly, punching two dozen of them in all different places all
over the body. They flew in different directions at high speeds
and hit the ice in a spectacular blast. He looked at all the
damage he had caused and laughed, shaking the ice that had been
frozen to his cowl.
"What's wrong, hunters? Can't take a hit?" he laughed.
He watched the rest of the Manhunters who swarmed around him and
were trying to get inside the craft. Barry put his fists up and
prepared to use the Speed Force before a bright green blast
blinded him briefly and knocked him into the craft. He couldn't
open his eyes for a moment but heard the sounds of metal
crunching and men and women screaming in various languages. He
stood up and breathed heavily before rubbing his eyes with his
cold gloves and seeing the heroic Green Lanterns flying around
and smashing the Manhunters. He tried to find Hal or Sinestro
among the gigantic fight but failed in his attempts. He ran into
the fight, taking out a Manhunter by ripping its arm off and
smacking another's torso off completely. Before he could land
another hit, a green bubble similar to the one used by Louie,
enveloped him and carried him high into the sky. he turned
around in the green bubble and looked at the Lantern who had
captured him.
"Ah! What the hell are you?" he screamed in fear, facing the
Lantern in front of him.
"I am Bzzd of Sector 2261! Who are you and why are you here?"
the Lantern exclaimed, his voice only heard through the bubble
in a monotone male voice.
Bzzd was a giant insect-looking alien who was the size of a
human, his ring attached to the small appendage connecting his
neck to the rest of his body. He looked like a bee, multiple
arms or legs, giant red eyes like a fly, and green swirling
around his body like Hal or the rest of the Lanterns' suits. He
buzzed around on six small transparent wings that constantly
flicked off bits of hard ice and snow.
"I'm Don- Donovin craig. Of Earth. One of your Lantern guys is
my friend, Louie! He told me about the Manhunters coming here
and I wanted to help. I can run. Fast." he said quickly as
explosions rocked thirty feet below them.
"Fine. I'll find Louie and ask him for clarification. Can you
hold your own?" Bzzd asked.
"Yes! I took out a few before you showed up!" he exclaimed, a
Manhunter flying by them as two Lanterns quickly chased after
them.
"I hope you speak the truth!" Bzzd said before lowering the
bubble to ground level and releasing Barry.
Immediately, he dodged out of the way, watching as a fast-flying
Manhunter shot past him. he grabbed his foot and shot into the
air, not thinking smart as he soon was over 100 feet in the air.
He watched as the Manhunter shot a wrist blast, the shot soaring
past them and hitting a blue-skinned Lantern on the ground
battlezone. Up above, Donovin's heart skipped again as he saw
twenty Lanterns and Manhunter engaging in an epic dogfight in
the icy clouds. he grabbed the head of the Manhunter and punched
into its skull as hard as he could. His knuckles became soar as
the Manhunter ignored his hits, heading straight for a
distracted fish-like Lantern who fired green lightning at the
androids soaring throughout the sky. he ducked as a piece of
shoulder skimmed by the Manhunter, its metal skin scratched and
exposing his wires and inner workings. he tried his best to rip
it open but the Manhunter punched the fish Lantern with all its
might. The fish Lantern flew through the air and he was knocked
out. he saw that his ring flew off from the intense force of the
hit and he eyed it by using the Speed Force. He knocked his fist
hard against the back of the Manhunter's head and it aimed down,
the jets in its feet blaring loudly through the Speed Force. He
leaped off at the last second, snow sliding past his suit as he
watched each flake of snow and ice fly by slowly, his eyes
narrowing as he reached out for the ring.
He saw the fish Lantern turn back into his normal self, his
scaly yellow skin shown as he flew around like a ragdoll in the
air. he dived down straight and grabbed him as they flew to the
ground. He smacked the fish Lantern hard and made him return to
consciousness.
"Hey, Fishface! Put the ring on! Make us fly before you become a
nice flounder meal!" he yelled, holding the ring and putting it
in the Lantern's hand.
The Lantern seemed to mostly understand what Barry was saying
and nodded, sliding the ring on his middle finger and flailing
himself out as he hung onto his back. The fish Lantern's suit
was fully formed and he looked at Barry with a scowl.
"The name's Tomar-Re. Not fishface, fast one." the Lantern said
with a calm voice as they hovered quickly to the ground.
"Sorry!" he yelled to Tomar-Re as he zoomed back up into the
air.
Barry looked around the battlefield once again and saw Louie
flying through the air with a giant axe construct swinging into
a bunch of Manhunters. He ran after his friend, punching down a
Manhunter before flying high into the air and firing an
electrical charge from his suit. The yellow blast covered a
Manhunters and fried the circuits in its visual display. he
hopped over the damaged shell of a dead Manhunter and grabbed
its decapitated head, using the Speed Force to aim at a flying
android. The damaged head created sparks as it flew through the
air and collided with the ankle joint of the flying Manhunter.
The android lost its balance and slammed into the ice, the hard
elements grinding down the faceplate and breaking off two of the
three face cylinders. he nodded in pleasure and yelled out
Louies name loudly.
"Donovin? What are you doing here?" he yelled back after
creating a baseball bat and completely destroying three
Manhunters with one swing.
"Didn't think you'd have any backup!" he responded, executing a
backflip as an exploding Manhunter zoomed underneath him.
As he hovered down to his friend, Donovin gave a small smirk.
You just can't tell a smartmouth to stay put...

I couldn't resist, man! I saw the coordinates and I'm tired of
chasing the Trickster around the jewelry store! Now... I'm
actually a part of something!" Donovin said to his friend as
they fought off three Manhunters who ran at them.
he ducked at super-fast speed and kicked out the android's leg
before sliding across the ice and firing another electric charge
at its face. he stood up and kicked it in its back before
snapping the neck wires and nearly ripping its head off. Across
the battlefield, Louie created a wrecking ball and slammed it
into an android before flying back to Donovin and firing a
construct carbine machine gun at the Manhunters. Hal landed on
the ground and uppercutted a Manhunter who tried to fire a wrist
blast. The blue energy ball flew toward the Krypto ship and
ricocheted off, hitting Donovin in the back. he flew back from
the ship, tossing and turning violently until he was picked up
by a seaweed species that fired a green blast from one gigantic
eye in the middle of its body. he shook one of its stringy
appendages and sped off, seeing two more Manhunters enter the
ship. He grabbed Louie's shoulder and pointed toward the door.
"They keep going in there!" he yelled.
"In there? How many do you think?" he replied, firing a hatchet
from his ring, slicing the attacking Manhunter almost directly
in half.
"15 plus. I'm going in." he replied quickly.
"No. I'm bringing a Lantern with us." he said, holding his ring
up high and watching a long green stream shoot from the top and
fly into the sky.
Barry watched as the stream moved around like a whirlwind of
green energy, swirling around and looking like the reflection of
surface water underneath. He watched as a familiar Lantern flew
down from the clouds and hovered above the ground before
twisting his bug head to the left at Hal.
"Yes, Lantern?" Bzzd's voice said through the ring.
"I want you to go with me and my friend here... inside the
Kryptonian ship. He says that Manhunters went inside. A lot of
them. Thought you could fly by the corners and give us an
advantage. Are you with me, Lantern?" Hal said to Bzzd.
"Of course. Are we going to flush them out and lock up the
craft?" Bzzd asked.
"That was the plan." he answered, firing a quick blast at a
damaged Manhunter.
Bzzd turned to Donovin and nodded in an odd way before leading
the charge inside the spacecraft. he and Donovin broke into a
quick jog as Bzzd flapped his transperent wings and turned
vertical as he darted through the long hallways. Donovin
struggled to see and shook his head for a moment before blinking
rapidly. Louie caught his strange movements and cleared his
throat as he looked at his friend.
"You okay? All of this too much for you?" he asked.
"No... the uh... the Speed Force I use to move fast... it allows
me to alter my perception. My eyes open up and I can see pretty
well in the dark. Just an added bonus I guess of being struck by
lightning." he laughed as his irises opened wide and the dark
corridors became light in color and detail.
"I hear some sounds down this hallway. Can you run ahead and see
what is going on?" Bzzd asked, hovering in front of the two men
as his collar ring glowed bright green.
"Sure. I'll speed ahead and tell you how many. But first, you
have to tell what they're after exactly. What is going on here,
Louie?" he said quietly.
"We can discuss this later. Just hurry up and find out how many
are still there. I promise to tell you all the details after we
win." he replied.
"No. I'm not moving an inch until you explain what these robots
want with Krypto the super ship. Just a paragraph of exposition.
That's seriously all I'm asking. You know how fast I can run,
Hal. Just tell me. Please? Please?" he spat out with fierce
speed.
"Ugh! Fine. The Kryptonians were a race of people on Earth like
us but they took some of the original Lanterns out, stealing
their equipment and supplies. They advanced far beyond what
we've accomplished and they left. But lucky for us, some stayed.
They are the ancestors of... us. You got me?" Hal explained as
fast as he could.
"Anyhow... thousands of years pass and the Kryptonians traveled
far out into space... they found a planet called Krypton and
settled there. Eventually the planet was destroyed but they had
sent out hundreds of beacon ships which were made to be used for
colonization. This is one of those ships. Anyhow, the Manhunters
harvest a type of element we in the galaxy call Kryptoni- it's
too hard to explain but basically, these Manhunters are fueled
by the element and its found in great quantities in these beacon
ships. If those Manhunters get to it, they could hurt a lot of
people. Okay?" Hal continued without wasting a breath.
"Wow. So everything we learned in bible school was wrong?" he
asked with wide eyes... and not from the perception change.
"I don't know. Kind of." Hal sighed, rubbing his mask and eyes
in agony.
"Oh my God. Is there a... God?"
"Yes, I guess! I mean, I don't know... it's too complicated,
even the Guardians aren't sure about it..."
"The who?" Barry asked, confused once again.
"Nevermind. Just go!"
"Fine. Just one more question." he said through grit teeth while
putting his index finger up.
"What?" Hal said, nearly yelling.
"How do you know all his stuff? They have a book or something?"
"No. The ring gives me unlimited knowledge about the history of
the Lanterns and essentially the universe. Now go, dammit!"
Louie said, shoving his friend ahead in the hallway.
"Hey!" hey said sharply.
"Give me a ring." he continued with an open hand.
"Go!"

Donovin ran at incredible speeds, running up the side of a metal
wall as he jumped across a gap that was really a doorway. He saw
that lights had been activated when he crossed a different
section of the craft. He stopped and slid across the floor,
stopping himself with a sharp pullback with the help of his
gloved hands. He looked around and listened closely, hearing the
loud footsteps that echoed across the large expanse of the
Krypto craft. he sniffed the air and smelled something organic
and musty. He eyed a small bit of metal on the ground and picked
it up, covered in a viscous brown liquid that oozed to the cold
floor.
"Ew. That's just plain nasty. I don't care if you are a cool
robot." he said to himself.
"And why brown?"
He continued to run for twenty seconds before stopping suddenly,
grabbing the side of the wall to his left when a loud thump
vibrated through his body. He stopped breathing, completely
cutting off any outside energy that might be noticeable by the
Manhunters. He narrowed his eyes and leaned past the corner,
seeing a breathtaking sight.
Surrounded by dozens of damaged crates were twenty Manhunters,
taking the bright green crystals from their cases inside the
metal crates and crushing them to dust. He watched as the
Manhunters groaned with electric squeals, the green dust being
sucked into small vacuum tubes inside their fingertips. he
watched as the three cylinders glowed with power and their
bodies hummed louder with movement faster than before. He was
about to rush back to the Lanterns but suddenly had a quick
thought that what if they all received the element before the
Lanterns could take them out? Then, the Manhunters would be near
unstoppable. he could be the savior of Earth. Not for the glory.
For the whole of Hub City and the rest of the world. And think
of the glory! He took a deep breath and spotted a loose bar-like
contraption sticking out from the right side of the wall. He
rose an eyebrow and rushed over to it, ripping it off from its
metal base and waving it in front of himself.
"Hey, Mannies! Ever heard of baseball?" he asked in a sarcastic
tone, pushing out a small ball of electric energy and launching
it from the bar.
The blast hit one of the Manhunters in the face with extreme
force. Metal shot off from his display and all the cylinders
were now in several pieces as the android fell. he ran at the
Manhunters at 200 MPH, hitting one of them in the face with the
bar while slicing another with his gauntlets. The slice poured
more of the brown liquid onto the ground and he nearly gagged
from the sight and smell of it. He hopped off the chest of a
powered-up Manhunter and knocked his knees into another's head.
The Manhunter stumbled back and tripped over an empty crate
while he took on ten at a time. He was hit from all sides in
doses of painful punches and the blast from their wrist weapons.
He cried out loudly in pain as a powered-up Manhunter kicked him
hard in the back, sending him flying into the wall over 40 feet
away. He groaned in pain and saw the giant android wave coming
for him.
"Ugh... this wasn't the best idea." he admitted to himself as he
wiped a bit of blood from his busted lip.
He fired a giant bolt of yellow energy at the crowd of robots
and screamed loudly, using almost every ounce of strength he had
to take them down. He watched a various Manhunters fell to the
ground from energy overload. Before he could block an attack, a
Kryptonite-infused Manhunter grabbed him by his chest and
punched him hard in the chest. Barry felt a rib break and
groaned loudly after hearing the sharp and painful crack. The
Manhunter head butted him and nearly knocked the Speedster out
before he hit the ground. The sharp pain of broken bone poking a
vital organ made him wince visibly. He shook the pain away with
a head shake and turned around, met with a fierce kick by a
regular Manhunter. He nearly caught the foot but flipped
backwards twice into some of the empty crates. He stood up with
all his might and spit blood onto the ground before running up
to the Manhunter and punching him repeatedly in the stomach
area. Only dents formed and the Manhunter fired a blast right by
his face, using the Speed Force to avoid the blast and kicking
out its knee. He picked up the discarded bar and watched as four
Manhunters cornered him. He cracked his neck and with a quick
wince, jumped high into the air and smacked the bar across all
their heads. He landed hard and dug the bar into the floor to
regain footing.
He flipped the bar between his hands and was surprised when he
could deflect the blasts of the androids' wrist blasters. He
raised an eyebrow and ran at them, deflecting blue energy
shapes, flying off the metal and dissipating shortly after
connecting. While sliding across the floor, he dodged a blast
that nearly hit his private area and he laughed as he broke the
leg of the attacking Manhunter. He leaped up and widened his
eyes, seeing all of the Manhunters firing in unison. He
struggled to keep up with the pace of the blasts which traveled
at 3000 feet per second. Even with the Speed Force, he was
feeling the despair of missing a blast and possibly ending his
life. He flung the bar at super fast speeds and could feel the
intense wind that came from the twirling of the bar. he ran at
the group of alien androids and yelled in anger and frustration.
The bar went through three of the Manhunters and he picked them
up before gravity could react to his actions. The three robots
flew far into the room of the Kryptonian craft and he smiled in
success. He was about to strike again before a green blast shot
two Manhunters brutally into the wall.
"Need a hand? Glad you kept us up to date, Donovin!" Louie said,
flying into the room with a construct sword.
"Sorry! I just couldn't help it! They've already sucked in that
green rock stuff! These things are strong!" Donovin replied,
flipping the bar around in an expertise move.
He watched as Bzzd flew in behind him and began striking the
Manhunters with his body, his sharp stinger of sorts stabbing
the metal. Louie protected him from a blast with the construct
sword and Donovin returned the favor with a brief salute. He
zoomed across the room to the damaged androids and smashed the
insides of their inner workings with quick and brutal head
stomps that occurred in three seconds. He saw a Manhunter grab
Bzzd and pull on his wings. he gave a scowl when he heard the
Lantern squeal in pain and tossed the bar as hard as he could in
their direction. Unseen with sound-breaking speed, the bar shot
straight through the Manhunter's head and stick into the metal
wall behind them. Bzzd flew from the defunct robot's grip and
fired a blast from his ring while looking at him with his giant
bug eyes.
"Don't mention it, Buzzy." Barry said with a nod before judo
kicking a Manhunter in the chest.
"More Lanterns should be coming in. We need to close off the
Kryptonite from them. There's 13 left!" Hal said, doing a
backflip on his feet and slashing his sword against two incoming
androids.
"I got it!" he said, running for the crates of crushed and
encased green rock.
He slowed down time and quickly gathered all the dust and rocks
he could within twenty-seven seconds, grabbing shards from
Manhunters' hungry hands and from the metal ground. He looked at
the cases they were carried in for a moment, noticing the
continuing fancy metal work that clearly gave off the alien
signature. He took a deep breath and easily pushed a Manhunter
out of the way, shoving the ton-and-a-half brute over a fallen
crate. He started spinning his right fist in a circular motion
and saw his hand vibrate and spin faster than he could see. He
watched as the small dust particles and rocks started levitating
off of the ground, getting caught in the vortex he was creating.
He smiled as his plan worked and he stood up, opening a crate
and letting the swirling elements fall into the case before
closing it. He continued the same action over and over again as
more Lanterns flooded inside the huge room and did their
universal duty.
Louie continued to fight off the Manhunters as one of his
mentors, Tomar-Re came over to help him. He looked at him with
his fish-like beak and eyes that had eyelids that closed from
the sides rather than man's way of blinking.
"Yes, Tomar-Re?" Louie asked, firing a spray of gunfire from his
construct of a 30's-era machine gun.
"Your friend is very... interesting. Brave but very- and I mean
very cocky." the mentor responded as the noise quieted down and
the Manhunters' number diminished to a single digit.
"Believe me, I know. But he's a smart and brave human. He has a
lot more heart than me as well. He means well, Tomar-Re. He gets
the job done. I promise you that." he said, finishing off a
Manhunter with one trigger press of his gun.
"I can tell. His arrogance to any kind of command is
astonishing." Sinestro said, flying behind Louiw as the final
Manhunter was defeated.
"Leave him be, Thaal. He just wanted to help. And luckily, he
knew what he was doing." Hal replied with an annoyed sigh.
"That may be. But he is not a Lantern and we cannot accept
outside help. You know our rules." Sinestro said, hovering once
again and leaving Louie as he joined the immediate clean-up
crew.
As he looked up, he saw Donovin shaking his hands erratically
before spotting Louies gaze and waving at him with a wide smile.
he returned a toothless gesture and motioned for him to come
near. He looked at Tomar-Re with a look that read 'please leave'
and the alien left with a respectful nod. While walking over to
him, Donovin clicked his tongue and held his hands up with a
small laugh.
"Don't say anything, man. I know what they were talking about
and I'm proud to go. It's been a hell of a day. I reconnected
with my friend, found out he was part of a galaxy-protecting
police force, and busted up a few alien robots. 'Nuff said." he
quipped while circling Louie.
"Please don't take it personal, man. The Corps has a certain way
of doing things but honestly... I think it's because their
jealous of what you can do." he said with a wink.
"Oh, yeah. I knew that after your buddy Sinestro's face got all
red when he first saw me." he smarted before laughing.
Louie sighed and rubbed his head.
"So, you're okay with this?" he asked.
"Like I said... I'm fine. Just one question, though."
"What?"
"What's going to happen to all this? The Krypto ship and all
these Manhunters?"
"We'll do a cleanup and... leave. We aren't allowed to interfere
with another race's objects unless there is a direct order to do
so. We need to leave this craft the exact way we left it. It
sucks but that the Lantern Corps' policy." he answered.
"Well on that note... I think that I'll be heading out.
Before louie can say anything else he sees a red blur dash from
the ship.
Intergalactic corps, alien spaceship on my own planet, and some
pretty attractive aliens in that corps thing to.
something tells me this won't be over in a flash.
