FADE IN:
BLACK SCREEN - A small Box Blinking, like letter placement
on a computer monitor.
Words begin drawing out, a computer dial tone, a beeping
noise... Over screen in plain GREEN TEXT:
"BEGIN RING DOWNLOAD. OPENING
TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY...
MODULATING LANGUAGE 945,342 OF
SECTOR 2814. MODULATING
TRANSMISSION COMPLETE. INDUCTION
PROCESS... COMPLETE."
The Words disappear.
FADE TO:
EXT. OUTER SPACE - TIME IN-FLUX
LEGEND: 3 YEARS AGO...
Beautiful stars, Trillions of light-years apart, yet so
close together. It’s a sight only to be described as
romantic.
Breaking the hypnotic view, A large metallic Silver ship,
styled in a futuristic blackbird jet design. Regal in
appearance, tough in demeanor.
ABIN
(V.O.)
It is my destiny.
CUT TO:
INT. ABIN SUR’S SHIP - PILOT’S COCKPIT - CONTINUING
Inside the cockpit, a cell much like a laboratory beaker,
the walls of it made of GREEN ENERGY. Imprisoned in the
Green Energy Cell - Tall, Dark Red Skin, A face of
contortion with to large horns stemming from his eye brow
bone of his skull, ATROCITUS.
In front of him at the pilot’s seat, handsome about 50’s
(Earth Years), a PINK alien, Assertive features, Bald, on
his hand, at a simple glance it might be mistaken for a
College Ring, a closer look Identifies a symbol, a "GREEN
LANTERN" His uniform is simple, a comfortable combination of
Greens, Whites, and Blacks, ABIN SUR.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
Surrounding him are touch screen appliances to the ship, the
controls set in front of him, a line of energy extends from
the ring to the controls, ABIN sits comfortably in the
Pilot’s chair. At his feat, Large, enigmatic, a literal
GREEN LANTERN. Around the Edges of the brim read "2814"
In front of the ship’s two inhabitants, A Green Hologram, A
Figure tall and slender, the muscular physique of a swimmer,
with lighter red skin and a pencil thin jet Black mustache
and hair a with a widow’s peak, about 40’s (Earth Years)
THAAL SINESTRO. On him an outfit, both like and unlike
Abin’s, Rich in Blacks, Whites, and Greens, attached to his
left ring finger is a Very different looking Green Lantern
Ring, this has two strips of Green connecting to the famous
insignia, with a central gold wedding ring.
SINESTRO
Why Earth? It is a primeval ball of
filth and disease.
ABIN
According to the prophecy the key
to saving the Universe during the
War of Light is on Earth. It is the
Birthplace of the Black, and the
White, the Headmasters of the
emotional spectrum. It is said that
on Earth there will come a warrior
who will stop be uncorrupted by the
anti-light.
SINESTRO
What do you plan to do once you
find this warrior? Train him. Make
him one of us?
ABIN
Yes. If the prophecy is true we
must train this warrior early on.
All the energy from Abin Sur’s ring give a slight flicker.
SINESTRO
Be wise my friend. Outside the fact
the Guardians would never allow you
to train a human, You take to heart
stories "foretold" by the prisoners
of a dead planet, terrorists trying
to instill fear in your heart and
the Corps.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
ABIN
The Guardians may forbid so much as
discussing the prophecy, I will
find the proof they cannot ignore.
In this Warrior I believe they’ll
see eye to eye with me.
SINESTRO
You expect Atrocitus to simply tell
you?
ATROCITUS
I will be the death of you Abin
Sur!
ABIN
He will lead me to this warrior
whether he likes it or not.
SINESTRO
If the guardians find out they’ll
strip you of your ring, Possible
even strip your sector from their
watch.
ABIN
Wish me luck then.
SINESTRO
If you need any assistance Abin,
the guardians be damned, nothing
will keep me from your sector. Good
luck old friend.
ABIN
Thank You Sinestro. Abin Sur Green
Lantern of Space Sector
Twenty-Eight Fourteen OUT.
ABIN stands from the controls, approaching and addressing
ATROCITUS:
ABIN (cont’d)
You are a monster. Still I will not
allow you or anyone else to put the
universe into jeopardy.
ATROCITUS
Oh there is so much more about the
war of light.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
ABIN
Speak monster.
ATROCITUS
Maybe when you burn in hell.
ABIN
You don’t get to choose when and
when not to speak to me. Tell me
damn you!
ATROCITUS
Fear. Fear is the key to War. And
in so many unexpected places you
will find that fear...
ABIN
Where?
ATROCITUS
In the banished... The Vengeful...
And the Unloved...
ATROCITUS watches the Green Flicker, He shoves his arm out..
- Atrocitus’s CLAWED ARM catches ABIN across the chest. -
Abin hits Atrocituus in his ribs. - Atrocitus slams down on
Abin’s back. - Abin slams Atrocitus against the wall of the
ship.
- Atrocits hits Abin in the chest, sending him in the air. -
Abin tosses Atrocitus to the ground. - ABIN delivers a swift
left hook to ATROCITUS. - They roll through the ship hitting
each other.
- Atrocitus Kicks Abin with both feet. - Abin slams against
the ship’s controls. - Abin throws a construct fist. - It
slams Atrocitus into the ceiling of the ship, It drops
Atrocitus. - He tackles the Green Lantern officer, Slamming
his fist into ABIN’S face:
ATROCITUS (cont’d)
Your Fear will be the cause of your
Death.
- ATROCITUS Delivers a STAB into ABIN’S RIBS. - ABIN turns
the ring onto ATROCITUS:
ABIN
And your Arrogance will be the
cause of yours!
KA-BOOM! LIKE A CANNON ABIN’S RING SHOOT’S ATROCITUS
STRAIGHT OUT OF THE SHIP!

ABIN
(Through RING)
HAL JORDAN. You have been chosen I
am Abin Sur. Green Lantern of Space
Sector Twenty-Eight Fourteen. I Am
Dying. To serve is a great honor.
The ring we now share is fueled by
willpower. In a universe where
emotions are harnessed into
weapons, Willpower exists as a
balance, insuring justice and
freedom across the universe. The
Ring will make your thoughts, your
wishes a reality. But there is a
flaw, an impurity as with all the
other powers in the emotional
spectrum. To Willpower, this
impurity is the colors yellow, the
host of fear! These are the barest
essentials every member of the
Green Lantern Corps is aware of.
For one reason above all, you have
been chosen. The same reason every
Lantern before and after you is
chosen...
ABIN’s ship Lays, wreckage spread for miles.
HAL
Oh god... What the hell happened?
(CONTINUED)

SMASH CUT:
EXT. OUTER SPACE -
Stoic in Green Smoke, a new set of text burns onto the
screen, covering the black:
"’In Brightest Day, In Blackest
Night, No Evil Shall Escape My
Sight. Let Those Who Worship Evil’s
Might, Beware My Power Green
Lanterns Light... and I shall shed
my light over dark evil. For the
dark things cannot stand the light,
The light of the Green Lantern!’ --
Book of OA Chapter One, Verse One"
The text disappears. Left in the blackness. MUSICAL SCORE
SWELLS - A beam of GREEN LIGHT - Moving around something, a
circular object.
The Next Beam goes through the center! A Third and Forth
beam encircle it.
The Beams grow not into separate trails, but one thick beam
of light encircling the Object.
The Dark Shape reveal to be a familiar symbol shrouded in
black partially obscured by the dark...
No longer cutting at it the GREEN light begins filling the
DARK object, a blast of green fills with light... The object
is being filled with the heavy blast of GREEN LIGHT!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 11.
-It’s shape is familiar; iconic...
IT is IMPRINTED on the screen - THE GREEN LANTERN logo -
In thin to thick; letters grow over the screen. At first in
an alien language then quickly transformed to plain English
letters:
GREEN LANTERN CORPS
The letters come off the insignia and fly straight at the
CAMERA...
SMASH CUT!:
EXT. SPACE -
Beautiful stars and galaxies sit tight together. The
blackness of space overwhelming.
PAN: AWAY FROM THE STARS DOWNWARD TO A VIBRANT PLANET,
ALMOST MYTHIC WITH FEELING TO IT. ENCOMPASSED AROUND IT,
SEVERAL GREEN RINGS FORMING A CRUDE "LANTERN" PROJECTED FROM
THE SIDES OF THE PLANET.
Building onto this image, growing closer. Onto this image, a
stoic voice, this is one of many that will speak:
APPA
Since before time began, we
existed. Planetary watchers,
sitting from the center of all
creation in the universe, policing
the Universe in a grave struggle
for peaceful democracy.
BASILUS
Many different ways we’ve attempted
to instill peace without force. So
many ways so many failures. Until
The Creation of the Manhunters.
Projected onto ’Basilus’ words, the image of an army, cold,
distant, soulless, but few words to describe these machines.
They’re courted in the colors of red, blue, and silver over
their metallic manifolds, their design is the scary medium
between robot and human.
BROOME
What started as a good idea turned
into a tragedy. The Manhunters were
infected, an error only seconds in
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12.
BROOME (cont’d)passing they had turned against our
vision. And in their turning was
the Massacre of Sector Six
Sixty-Six.
Projected from ’Broome’s’ words: The cold machines,
Annihilating, destroying, Murdering.
The Images are as cold as the Nazi’s slaughtering the Jews.
One stoic image brings tears: a RED SKINNED ALIEN, holding
his deceased child, crying.
DAWLAKISPOKPOK
It was from that moment on that we
shut down the manhunters and buried
them long in the past. Out of
morning came hope for the future
and the beginning of our corps.
A new Image, beautiful, stoic, heroic. AWE-Inspiring, the
images of thirty-six hundred Male and Female aliens garbed
in Green with Oa’s planetary symbol.
DENNEP
They were the bravest men and women
from all three thousand six hundred
sectors. Instilled with the
Universe’s own will power, the
emerald knights shed their light on
all evil and they became known as
"The Green Lanterns"
Heroic acts of the Green Lanterns, the images that inspire
children to be heroes, Green Lanterns of all species
Stopping wars, Saving lives, flying, and the most odd of
them, images projected from the ring, their "constructs."
GANTHET
Armed with the Will power of the
Universe and all the imagination
they had instilled in them. The
rise of the Lanterns introduced an
age of peace and prosperity
throughout the lands. All was
Wonderful. But there will always be
enemies to fight.
Standing, with five others, the Red Skinned Alien that had
once held his child crying now a monstrous beast, on him is
white and black tribal paintings and a crude Symbol.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13.
HERUPA
In times of plague arose Atrocitus,
a beast of rage and hellfire. Aided
with four other survivors of sector
six sixty-six they became the five
inversions. Eternal enemies of
ours.
The fight between Abin Sur and Atrocitus: Abin Slamming a
construct fist into Atrocitus, he returns with the fling of
a Rock it slams Abin to the ground, Abin stands with an
uppercut. Atrocitus is down.
LIANNA
But one of our corpsmen rose to the
occasion and had defeated Atrocitus
and his Five inversions. For their
Crimes they were placed at the
heart of Sector Six Hundred
Sixty-Six, on the planet Ysmault.
But Abin Sur was corrupted by the
fear instilled by Atrocitus.
PAZU
And that fear grew until Abin Sur
was consumed. His fear manifested
into a false prophecy in a war...
The War of Light! So he took
Atrocitus to find the source, the
being that will Be the key to
stopping or causing that war.
Abin Sur in a ship with Atrocitus. Atrocitus in a cell,
breaks free and attacks Abin Sur. Five very large CLAW MARKS
take Abin’s chest.
RANAKAR
Atrocitus took the Opening to
Murder Abin Sur. The resulting
conflict sent them to Earth. Where
in Abin Sur’s dying moments... He
witnessed history...
Abin’s ring going to HAL JORDAN. THE FIRST OFFICIAL GREEN
LANTERN FROM EARTH.
SAYD
Hal Jordan, the first human ever to
officially join the Green Lanterns.
But because of our mistrust in
Humans, we sent someone to assist
him in the arrest of Atrocitus

Handsome, tall, crimson with black hair and a finite pencil
thin mustach that compliments his features, He’s about 40’s
in Earth Years, this Green Lantern is THAAL SINESTRO.
SCAR
Once the two completed their
mission, Hal Jordan and his race
were observed... Humans showed much
promise and assistance in the
corps. And once we felt it was a
suitable choice...
Three other rings... Shooting around Earth - One to a
SUPERBOWL GAME, Locker room, GUY GARDNER, Late 30’s Handsome
with red hair, sitting in a NEW YORK JETS uniform, the ring
lands at his feet. He inches down to pick it up -- DETROIT
at 5:00 a.m., CONSTRUCTION SITE, A HANDSOME BLACK MAN, about
30’s tall lean but with muscle, JOHN STEWART Going over
blueprints turning green... He looks to see The Green
Lantern ring. -- METROPOLIS, A young guy at night, mid 20’s
handsome, stylish hair, watching good drawings turn awful,
He pounds at his head, slapping the images out, Behind him a
Green Lantern ring "projects" what he’s picturing:
Superhero, Damsel in distress, and a fire breathing dragon.
He turns behind him to see the Ring, KYLE RAYNER.
VALOREX
Over time these new earthlings
joined the Corps, they observed a
new life from the one they lived on
Earth... A life of Honor. Liberty.
Justice. The life of THE GREEN
LANTERN CORPS!

CUT TO:
INT. YSMAULT - CRUCIFIXION ARENA - DAY
An arena like a Roman Coliseum, Half destroyed. In the
center, five "X" shaped crucifixes. Instantly recognizable

Worz!
Present is only on Guard, tall lean and Horned. His Lantern

Atrocitus watch the area. Growling. His eyes speak anger, he
lays his head back into the air.
ATROCITUS
Are you scared Lantern... Scared I
will kill you?
LANTERN
Quiet beast. Guardians given me a
Cart Blanche to keep you quiet.
ATROCITUS
Tell me Lantern, why must you guard
us. There isn’t a habitable planet
for light years.
LANTERN
You’re a ring killer. You’re lucky
to be alive.
ATROCITUS
No luck needed when you’re rings
can’t kill.
A large GREEN HAND slaps Atrocitus.
ATROCITUS (cont’d)
Oh don’t worry lantern. I WILL KILL
YOU.
The dust blows even harder. Atrocitus spits blood, purple
oily blood.
In the distance, a loud whirring growing. Two massive blue
lights, attached to a large silver SPACE SHIP.
ATROCITUS (cont’d)
FREEDOM.
The Ship starts blasting at the inner circle of the
coliseum. ONE nicks The Lantern in the shoulder, he drops.
An ENERGY Beam his the nails holding Atrocitus, bending and
cracking the structure.
Atrocitus breaks free, shards of the Lantern construct fly
all over, Freshly open wounds bleed over the paint. He takes
a few steps for footing. He turns to the Lantern, crawling.
ATROCITUS (cont’d)
Poor little Guardian slave. Poor
dull pointless disgusting creature.
Atrocitus picks up the Lantern, Staring him in the face.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 16.
ATROCITUS (cont’d)
Beg and I promise the Nekron will

lips, muscles grow red and he spits in Atrocitus’ face.
LANTERN
Burn in hell.
ATROCITUS
I already have.

EXT. YSMAULT - OUTSKIRTS
Waves of red sand blow like tildes waves. Atrocitus walks

Atrocitus spots the ship, landed on the top of a dune. A

Carol trust me. If you really want

GUY
I’m a hero day in and day out with
you in the Corps. I don’t need a

HAL
When you see the possibility of
losing, that’s the time to trust

AMON
Guardians. You’ve shown me a great
kindness in respect for my father’s
hard work. And at many times I feel
like there is nothing more I can
ask of you. But When you inform me
that my father’s murderer is set
loose. You must excuse me for
losing sheds of faith.
APPA
We will not take a life Amon. As
you suggest. Taking the life of
Atrocitus is an act of genocide we
cannot abide by.
AMON
There must be something you can do!
He slain one of your numbers, my
father in cold blood. I grieve, for
what is a child without his father.
BASILUS
We understand your pain. But we
all have taken a sworn oath never
to take an unnecessary life.
Atrocitus was safely exiled along
the rest of his Inversions on the
planet Ysmault.
(CONTINUED)

BROOME
We will stop him and any insidious
plot he has in the works. You will
have nothing to fear Amon.
AMON
I’m not just afraid for my life. I
fear for the others who do not know
he is out there. Give me a ring and
I shall Find this beat myself.
DAWLAKISPOKPOK
If you were not selected by the
ring, we cannot just simply give
you one. It does not work like that
Amon.
AMON
Give me something to feel safe at
night at the very least. Do
something to honor my father and
capture Atrocitus.
DENNEP
Do not worry Young Amon. We will
Not allow Atrocitus to run ramped
across the universe.
GANTHET
We have a plan in motion. We will
send a group of Lanterns to
investigate the situation at hand.
HERUPA
We will bring Abin’s Killer to
justice.
LIANNA
We assure you that it will be done
we only have the highest respect
for you and your family.
AMON
What about defending myself?
PAZU
There are many weapons useful --
AMON
How many of them are useful against
a demon of rage?
(CONTINUED)

PAZU
We will not supply you with a ring,
it is unjust. We will however
supply you with a construct for
your defense. An Oan weapon.
From the collective of guardians green energy radiates from
the Guardians, forming into, a GREEN LASER GUN.
RANAKAR
This weapon was crafted from the
collective of will power within
ourselves. It will do well to
protect you.
Amon plucks it out of the air, holding it in his hand like a
dead kitten.
SAYD
You may stay on OA if it will help
you feel at ease. The odds of
Atrocitus appearing on Oa are far
lower than the odds of him
attacking us directly.

decline, Business is needed on

NO, An Oan Power ring was a weapon
we had initially designed to draw
energy from all spectrums, we had
planned to replace all the Green
Lantern rings with these.
SAYD
But after a frightening discovery
it was deamed too risky. We had
created a weapon that could not be
destroyed, instead we locked it up
and hoped it would never found.
KYLE
Obviously you didn’t do a good
enough job if Amon just found it!
TOMAR
Why was it too dangerous?
SCAR
The Ring drew on all emotional
spectrums. But once it is taken

fear or rage... It would be a
lethal weapon.

danger to any of you. Now you all

purest sector.

For us to relinquish our trust in
the Manhunters it would have to be
them attacking the most ordered
sector.
LIANNA
It was a tragedy but by the time we
discovered the truth, the Corps
were too imbedded as a symbol of
hope.

To preserve the trust of the

matter on our own.
RANAKAR
We had brought Krona to an isolated

him into the Anti-Matter universe.

AMON SUR, stands elogently among the red sanded RYUT.
KANJAR-RO steps from his ship.
KANJAR
Took you longer than expected.
AMON
I had to make sure the plan would
work. Where is he?
KANJAR
Sleeping in the red sand.
AMON
It’s time for him to wake up.
ATROCITUS rises from the sand.
ATROCITUS
My mysterious benefactor...
AMON
Hello Atrocitus.
ATROCITUS
Why have you called me here?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 46.
AMON
To make you the deal you couldn’t
possible turn down.
ATROCITUS
What deal is that?
AMON
Set Krona Free.
ATROCITUS
Why shouldn’t I just snap your
neck.
AMON
The Rage in you is strong. But you
do not have anything to let it out.
ATROCITUS
What are you talking about?
AMON
Help me release KRONA from Qward
and He will give you the RAGE
element. the RED RING in return for
your service ontop of that we will
unleash an onslaught not even the
guardians could stop.
ATROCITUS
With no force. What would stop the
Qwardians from massacuring us?
AMON
I know the Guardians secrets. Krona
has revealed certain secrets to
me... Such as the location of the
Guardian’s weapons. Even the ones
they want to forget.
CUT TO:
EXT. BIOT - SECTOR 3601
ATROCITUS

The deal is acceptable.
The world looks off a giant computer chip rouned out into a

INT. BIOT - CAVERNS - NIGHT
AMON SUR and KANJAR-RO, dressed in a SPACE SUITS, and
ATROCITUS, dressed in a RED SPACE SUIT skim the inner
caverns of the PLANET BIOT. The very caverns themselves are
designed with a computer accuracy. Perfect lines over
perfect bends, over perfect designs.
AMON leads ATROCITUS down a long corrider. At the End
presented by a yellow light THE MANHUNTERS, a legion of
ROBOTS. On the ARM of the CENTRAL MANHUNTER is a seriel

AMON
Atrocitus, awake Mr.SHAW.
ATROCITUS opens the back panal of the Centered MANHUNTER,
SHAW’s head.
AMON (cont’d)
Fighting off Manhunters must have
given you a lot of know-how on how
they work.
ATROCITUS
Quiet must concentrate.
A wire snaps the lights on SHAW go on. ITS VOICE is a
chilled echo of MESHED METAL.

Hal, Sinestro, Tomar, John, Guy, Kilowog, and Kyle all sit

one congruent line of food a few feet from the back wall,
with tables spread out.
HAL
This can’t be right. We’re like
sitting ducks.
KYLE
Can’t there be something we can do
aside sit here and play with our
selves?
GUY
This isn’t like the guardians.
Something else is going on they
just don’t want to say it.
KILOWOG
I Agree. But what can we do? It’s
not like Guardians are gonna budge.
SINESTRO
Pityful. You humans, you act like
you’re grounded. Especially you
Jordan. I thought you did what was
neccessary.
HAL
What do you suggest?
SINESTRO
Partner up. there are Dozens of
Lanterns sweeping every sector. But
(MORE)

SINESTRO (cont’d)Theres plenty of places too still
look. Amon has a big mouth, he’s
left some kind of trail. And we’re
going to sniff it out.
JOHN
What do we do?
SINESTRO
Tomar-Re is the girl ready?
TOMAR
By all accounts I could not see why
not.
SINESTRO
Then she could find Qward.
TOMAR
There is some data she would need.
SINESTRO
Kilowog, Gardner, Rayner go to the
book of Oa, download all
information about Qward’s
previously recorded location.
Tomar, Bring the girl in. Jordan,
we’re going to Space Sector
One-Four-One-Seven.
HAL
Why?
SINESTRO
If we can find Where Amon Sur
and Kanjar-Ro go the ship, we can
enter the data into the rings, and
Arisa can traces their signal
getting a more exact location of
Qward.

scum.
HAL
Still the most ordered Sector in
all of space.
SINESTRO
Thank reputation Jordan.
Reputation.
EXT. NIBELOS - DAY
Sun rises over a cloud like city, beautiful, arcaic,
Suspiciously similar to Maiyan.
Hal and Sinestro enter the Atmosphere.
SINESTRO
You haven’t explored my side of
space much Jordan. You’ll find it
rather dangerous when crime IS
committed.
HAL
So if the sector is so clean how
are we going to find Kanjar-Ro?
SINESTRO
If you know where to find his
’friends’ you know where to find
him. The particular monster we’re
after to find him is named "Kutch"
HAL
How do we find him?
SINESTRO
We look in the dirtiest scuzz hole
in One-Four-One-Seven.
INT. NIBELOS - SKY - DAY
Seperated from the ground, dozens of Sky-Colonies. Hal and
Sinestro decend from the outer atmosphere.

SINESTRO
To seperate the rich from the poor.
A Disguisting manner if you ask me.
INT. NIBELOS - SLUMS - DAY
Hal and Sinestro Land, the area is a gutter of trash,
drunks, bodies, and dirt. The area is about as charming as
World War II German Jew Slums.
HAL
Jesus. What the hell happened?
SINESTRO
Natural development. Just because
we can "stop" crime doesn’t mean we
can prevent them, or force group
prosperity. Being a Green Lantern
has more limitations then you
think.
HAL
This is turning out to be a lesson
for the kid. Where are we heading.
SINESTRO
Knowing Kutch he’s probably at
Canta Kanyo, It is a bar in this
area. We just have to flush it out.
HAL
Easier said then done.
The two search around the slum. Sinestro and Hal Hold a
construct of the signs -- Translating signs into English:

JOHN
What makes you think your friend

TOMAR
A feeling. I’ve known him for
years. If anyone who’s not a theif
or otherwise lowlife it’s her.
JOHN
HER?
INT. GRAXOS V - TERREREIGN - DAY
JOHN and TOMAR land. The planet has a very rocky and ancient
design, similar to castles of old earth times.
TOMAR
Fentara was once a Green Lantern of
this sector. When he died, His
Teenage daughter was found by the
Guardians. Too young to be admitted
into the corps they kept the
position vacent, I’ve watched over
it from time to time. This is one
of the most orderly Sectors.
JOHN
What are we doing here?
TOMAR
Giving Arisa Her birthright...
Tomar opens his hands, in it a GREEN LANTERN RING.
JOHN
How old is she now?
TOMAR
By terrestrial count, Eighteen. In
earth Years I would estimate
twenty-two.
JOHN
There’s a real reason why you think
she can find Qward Tomar. What is
it?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 53.
TOMAR
There is no chance, there is only
pattern John Stewart. Patterns
exist either by language or
Mathmatically. And mathmatically,

of a door.
KILOWOG, GARDNER, and KYLE all stand before it.
KYLE
Holy shit that’s a big book. What
to do we do.
KILOWOG
Qwards Moved so many times, it’s
not funny. It’s gonna take all
three of us to download that
Information to get it fast enough.
KYLE
Wait if we’re going to funnel it
into one person how’s come it’s
going to take all of us?
KILOWOG
I’m a geneticist, doesn’t mean I’ve
invented the eleven types of math,
or discovered six dimensions that
it takes to find Qward. Arisa’s
Brainstem can handle the
information, while we can just
handle the basics.
GUY
Damn. So how do we do this?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 54.
KILOWOG
I’ll start. We point our rings at
the book and Think ’Qward’ When I
get all the information my mind can
hold, I’ll end at a number, I’ll
give you the number and you think

For that I need something you
haven’t given.
AMON
What’s that?
ATROCITUS
A sacrafise!
Atrocitus and Amon turn to KANJAR-RO.
KANJAR

The hell you will. Not me! Pick up

Hal and Sinestro fight back to back:

I like a good Barfight as much as
the next guy, but I seriously doubt
this is aiding our hunt for Kutch.
SINESTRO
One of few times we agree Jordan.
Although I have to admit if you
wouldn’t have pulled the chair out
from under that Jangian we might
not be in this spot right now.

Excuse me for grabbing a seat

train. You have always been a
daughter to me Arisia. I know what
it is costing you but it has to be
done.
ARISIA
Why you though?
TOMAR
Because, it is my destiny. We need
as much time as we can get. And I
need you to get into contact with
Mogo.
(CONTINUED)

ARISIA
Why?
SINESTRO
(Off Screen)
Because it is part of the plan.
Arisia turns with disgust looking at Sinestro.
ARISIA
Why is it ’part of the plan’? Why
does Tomar have to go.
SINESTRO
My dear he volunteered. I know your
pain child.
ARISIA
How would you? Don’t think for a
second the wholeuniverse has heard
of you. Of course you would know
everyone has heard of "Sinestro the
Greatest Lantern of all." The Green
Lantern with the cleanest sector.
How you’re the cold S.O.B. who
would lock up a robber for
conspiracy.
SINESTRO
Losing the love of your life does
make you cold Arisia. The monster
we are after, Atrocitus. It the man
who butchered my wife. The Pain of
losing her nearly destroyed me had
Abin Sur not shown me how to
seperate the job from emotion.
TOMAR
Sinestro is one of my eldest
friends. We have been corpsmen for
years. When he presented the plan
to me I volunteered. Sinestro knows
what to do.
ARISIA
What if the plan fails?
SINESTRO
My dear my plans NEVER go wrong.

A large orbital room full of monitors lacing the walls,
sitting the center of it all at a floating desk/keyboard, a

with a GREEN LANTERN RING, looking much like an elephant
mixed wtih a horse, this is SALAAK.
Entering the arena: Arisia, Sinestro, and Tomar.
TOMAR
Salaak, we need your assistance.
SALAAK
Tomar-Re. To what do I owe this
pleasure?
TOMAR
We need you to locate the
coordinates of a ship.
SALAAK
Ring, please.
Sinestro floats to Salaak, their rings touch, the GREEN
energy surges from Sinestro to Salaak.
SALAAK (cont’d)
Interesting. Amon Sur?
Sinestro nods. Salaak’s movements at the keyboard become a
blur, snapping in at record amounts of speed:
SALAAK (cont’d)
Who is the girl?
TOMAR
Fentara’s daughter.
SALAAK
I see. Looking for Qward are we?
The ships Coordinates are:
W-Nine-Five-Six, N-Twelve-Thirty,
Q-Xenos-Alpha-Nota. Heading Closer
to Betos-engda. Maybe at the speed
of Twelve parsecs for every thirty
seconds.
Arisia looks at Salaak’s coordinates, taking the information
in. She looks to her ring, it sparks, Equasions shoot out of
it,covering the entire room, the math writing itself.
Sinestro watches impressed, Tomar smiling.

TOMAR
Thats it Arisia. You are doing
fine.
ARISIA
The pattern I see it. Qward is half
anti-matter, it moves around the
matter in space, orbiting like a
moon. It’s location if that’s where
Amon Sur is heading, Moons... Qward
uses various moons to mask the
anti-matter, If you take a black
hole it will sling shot you towards
Qward. The Locations at Omega,
Thirty-Six Oh One. It’s in the Last
Sector at the edge of space!

GANTHET
You must do everything you can to
stop Amon Sur from unleashing Krona
from the Anti-Matter universe.
HERUPA
With him could be forces beyond our
power, we can not allow them to be
unleashed.
LIANNA
That is why we are turning to you,

You will be our best defences

Possess.
RANAKAR
We will be monitoring your actions

That’ll leave half the universe

Math? What goddamn math is there?

Basic physics of continuous energy
transference.
Guy shakes his head.
HAL
Wait, How can we get that energy
back to the Guardians?
ARISIA
Depends. If he has a connection to
the Guardians through the Yellow

Uniform, in the center.
GANTHET
You told Green Lantern Hal Jordan
that the conflict was over. You
never opened an explanation for
why?
APPA
Yes that was curious aspect left
out of your report Sinestro?
SINESTRO
in the conflict With Krona, after
Jordan had severed the Connection
with All of you and the Yellow
Element, I was able to get the Oan
Power ring from him and his body
simply could not handle the power
of the Yellow Element and it ate
him from the inside out.
BASILUS
Ineresting evaluation Sinestro. I
believe that is an acceptable
evaluation.
BROOME
There is one matter that comes to
attention, Amon Sur’s fate as well
as the whereabouts of their power
rings.

commit suicide, I subdued his ring.

second THE OAN POWER RING from a pocket dimension, it floats
over to the Guardians. They take them, place them on the
ring.

Kilowog was able to capture
Atrocitus.
DENNEP
It appears that all is well for the
Universe. Everyone is safe from the
Rogue Krona.
HERUPA

commend the best of the Green

SINESTRO
Thank you Lianna. But I could not
have done it without the aid of my
Corpsmen. Rather I believe that the
statue be dedicated to Tomar-Re for
his bravery and service to the
Corps.
PAZU
A wish that shall be granted. Truth
remains that we must be greatful
for our victories and vigilant of
our futures.
