[color=00a651][b]"Preston, detecting sudden foreign signature in this star system, it seems to be en route to earth."[/b][/color]

It wasn't bad news, but it was news that Preston wasn't expecting from his ring. He had just left the Justice Station and stared to fly around and make his way planetside. Unfortunately, the little alert from his ring compelled him to slow down and take a look at it. 

[color=00a651]"About how much time do we have until it makes impact?"[/color] He asked the ring which was now raised to his mouth. 

It was quiet for only a moment, and then began to glow as it spoke to him. [b][color=00a651]"It will be arriving in roughly two and a half to three hours. The signature was only just large enough to be detected at this range."[/color][/b]

So he had time. That was fine. First order of business, he would hop down to Metropolis, help Grim and the other heroes with this threat, and then hopefully catch whatever signature was floating through space. In times like these, Preston really wished he had gone through with Ascension, the Vespasian tradition of merging with bio-robotics to become a wholly techno-organic lifeform. Having tech like that at his tingertips would let him pick up more data on whatever was floating through space and maybe even communicate with it if it was capable of doing so. Oh well.

From the heavens descended a streak of unmistakable green light, a phenomena that had not been seen on earth for many, many years. [color=00a651]"That thing is hideous! I'm hoping it wont take long to rid your planet of this beast, I have to get back to finishing the final Die Hard movie."[/color] And also stop the thing headed towards earth, but with the power of the ring, stopping a meteor or maybe even a ship was childs play. This monster, though, seemed different from other creatures that Preston had encountered before. 

Finding Grim wasn't hard. They were wearing large and bulky suit of armor, and were accompanied by other heroes in the surrounding area. It only made sense to fire a few distracting bolts at the creature while the others worked hard on bringing it down. [color=00a651]"Green Lantern reporting, what's the plan, grim?"[/color]
