Always alone..."[/i][/sup][/color][/CENTER] [color=8dc73f]"Ok, Jack, i know you're pissed at me, but letting a ring take your body for a joyride isn't the answer."[/color] Hal said, as the others stood behind him. He looked across the room and across the base outside, everyone without a ring was on their knee's or straight up on the floor, tears flooding down their faces as they let out wails of anguish. [color=fff200]"Jack Jordan, your brother."[/color] Sinestro stated. Hal looked back at Sinestro, a confused look on his face, he had never said anything about Jack or Jimmy to him. [color=fff200]"Unlike you, Green Lantern, i actually do read the dossiers i'm given."[/color] Sinestro quickly created a gold bubble of energy around the 4 of them. As he did so, May finally came to her senses. [color=bc8dbf]"What the heck was that?"[/color] She asked. Jack stepped up to the golden barrier and put a hand on it. As he did so, the golden barrier began slowly etching with silver cracks. [color=fff200]"This isn't going to last more than another few seconds-"[/color] Sinestro began, Hal then put his ring forward and a blast of green energy enveloped them, creating a second layer of defense. [color=fff200]"The power of Sorrow is a terrible one to bare, but he will attempt to bring out insecurities and our greatest tragedies to life. While clad in your emotional specrtum, you should be able to resist the majority of his aura, but if he gets into your head... Be prepared to relive your most emotionally painful experiences."[/color] Sinestro said, as the gold barrier shattered, before Jack got to work on the green one. [color=fff200]"Hal Jordan, you should take the lead on this one."[/color] He ordered. [color=8dc73f]"It's my brother, of course i'm taking the lead."[/color] Hal replied. He then noticed that Jack was having a much harder time cutting through his barrier. [color=fff200]"Sorrow is amplified by fear and anger, but controlled by Will, you should have the best chance of resisting him."[/color] Sinestro replied. [color=bc8dbf]"What about me?"[/color] May asked. [color=bc8dbf]"Can you use your rings to give me something so i'm not just screaming on the floor again?"[/color] Sinestro looked at her, before pointing his ring at her and a golden aura surrounded her. [color=fff200]"That should at least resist his aura."[/color] Sinestro grunted. The cracks of silver energy continued to crawl through the green barrier. [color=fff200]"Apart from that, stay back and we all support Jordan. Dex-Starr, do you understa-"[/color] As the green barrier shattered, Dex immediately launched at Jack's face, all 20 claws ready to do some damage, but Jack's ring-hand shot up and grabbed the cat by the face, claws immediately sinking into his arm and teeth into his purlicue, Jack stared down with the tears continuing to flow, as he did so, there was a flash of silver and Dex immediately dropped to the floor, limp. Silvery images of cats and kittens appeared around his body. [color=ed1c24]Alone... Always alone... No... Before, he was alone, there was her... Mommy? And his brothers and sisters. All he knew was the 4 walls, mommy's warmth and the others. It was a good life. Slowly, one by one, the humans would come and give the man the weird paper and take one of the brothers and sisters. Till that night. Instead of paper, they shoved a metal thing into him and there was a bang. Then he, mommy and his remaining brothers and sisters went into the bag. It was rough, he was scared. He didn't know what was happening. There was so many noises, so loud, so much laughter around him. But not good laughter, cruel laughter. Disgusting cruelty. Suddenly, there was a whoosh of air and then... We were all weightless. Mommy was clawing, desperately trying to get out, we all were. Then the splash. Then the water rushed in. Brothers and sisters went first, they weren't as strong as him and Mommy. Mommy was able to get a small opening in the bag, he could squeeze through, he could get out. He finally did, getting to the surface, he managed to swim for shore... He sat there... Days... Weeks... So hungry... She would get out, eventually, he knew it... When would he see mommy again? That's when more men came. He wasn't going to trust them, they were going to put him back in the bag.[/color] [color=8dc73f]"JACK, WHAT THE HELL, DID YOU JUST KILL MY CAT?"[/color] Hal roared at him. There was a sudden wail that shook the room, eminating from the Red Ring. Dex shot up into the air, smashing into the ceiling. Tears rolling down his face, but these tears were blood-red lava, one rolling onto the desk and immediately sending the paper and everything up in flames. [color=ed1c24]"MOMMYYY!!!!! MOMMYY!!! YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!! MOMMY NOOOOOO!!!!"[/color] He screamed, before smashing through another wall and disappearing. [color=silver]"Dex-Starr of Earth knows my Sorrow... And now so will you, Hal Jordan of Earth."[/color] He groaned. As the smoke from the burning table reached the ceiling, the sprinklers went off. [color=8dc73f]"We need to get out, we need to maneuver."[/color] Hal replied. As Jack suddenly shot towards them, Sinestro formed a golden brick wall between them, but Jack smashed straight through, Hal grabbed May and flew around Jack, towards the hole he had made. Sinestro, on the otherhand, formed a pair of large, golden hands, grabbing Jack and attempting to throw him, but Jacks ring reacted, creating a carjack that held the hands apart as he finally got close enough and grabbed Sinestro's face. Sinestro instinctively created a large number of cutting blades that desperately lashed towards Jack, but as they did so, a silvery image of a woman and a man appeared around Jack and the blades stopped before them. [color=fff200]"No... No, don't you dare... No!"[/color] Sinestro's face flooded with tears. [color=fff200]Her beauty really was something he had never anticipated. After all, she was his best friends sister. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be proper. And they were at the academy together. Instructor Re wouldn't like this. But he just couldn't resist her. Who was he kidding, she was out of his league. But he was a Green Lantern... If he didn't have the Will to ask out a woman, how did he have the will to save the galaxy? What was the worst she could say? Ewww, to be honest, but she was Abin's sister. Surely she wouldn't be that cruel? God the look on her face? That wedding dress brings out the beauty without compare. The way her pregnant belly looks against the Korugaran sunset, his dreams all come true... No... Fire... Fire everywhere... Attrocitus! No! Anyone but her. Attrocitus, you will pay... No, i'm not bringing you in, you're going in the ground! GANTHET!!! NO!!! GANTHET, YOU CAN'T DENY MY REVENGE!!! Fine... I will play your little puppet for now... But he will burn... As will this galaxy... Abin... No... NO! ABIN, NOT YOU TOO! CAN'T YOU SEE I DID THIS FOR US!? DON'T- NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!![/color] Sinestro simply fell to his knee's catatonic, eyes rolling into the back of his head as he slumped to the floor. Jack slowly turned towards Hal. [color=8dc73f]"Oh, HELL NO!!!!"[/color] Hal pushed May out of the hole in the wall and formed a large bed construct to break her fall. She landed softly on it before rolling off and onto the ground, while Hal looked back at Jack who was advancing on him. [color=8dc73f]"Alright, Jack, but i'm not 6 years old anymore, you can't just push me around. Come on, follow me!"[/color] Hal jumped out of the hole and shot into the sky, Jack stepped out and raised after him.
