Thread: In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night! (Vash x  Red Electro)

So much fighting, so much loss, so much... darkness. It had almost seemed like the end to the Corps and all life as they knew it, but miraculously they had prevailed against the blackness that was Nekron and his massive Black Lantern Corps. For Kyle Rayner this roped his list of hairy situations, hell he had even died for about five minutes. He had felt a complete blackness envelope him as the Alpha Battery exploded. It was a peaceful serenity that Kyle had never felt before, but he knew better. He may have defeated those Black Lanterns that were caught in his construct, but there millions upon millions of others out there that his friends and loved ones had to fight and he hated that he was out of the fight. Luckily Sora, his current lover, was there to try and bring him back, but it proved fruitless, he was gone. Though all hope was not lost, Star Saphire Miri was there to bring him back by using the love he and Soranik had and boy was that a massive relief. After that he gathered the rest of the Coprs members and headed for home, Earth, to finish the fight. Now all the remaining members of the Green Lantern Corps stood on the planet Lantern Mogo for a special memorial service for the fallen. The large tree swayed in the wind, the dark bark on the tree groaning as it twisted and turned. Kyle averted his eyes up to focus on the emerald leaves that sprouted from each branch, the portrait of every dead lantern was emblazoned upon them. He could recognize many of them Jack T. Chance, Ke'Hann, Laira, Bzzd, Tomar Re, Katama Tui for her he especially grieved for John, who could not be there since he was back with Hal trying to rebuild. It was hard to see a good friends wife's grave, especially since he himself was not present. all good Lanterns and all damn good people. He listened intently as Moro the Crypt Keepr explained this new memorial. He let a small smile crawl across his face as he realized that now no lantern would be forgotten, but that smiled paled in comparison to the one that he let beam as the thousands of emerald rings fly from Mogo to their respected sectors to find new recruits. In those he saw life, while the previous bearers would never be forgotten, those new rookies would soon come and fill their predecessors shoes, maybe even become greater than the previous wielders. Though before greatness can be made he knew hat hey would have to put in long hours of work to master the rings abilities and no doubt a few visits to the woman that stood next to him. Upon thinking of her he turned his head to see the perfect ruby red skin, the only imperfection being the triangular birthmark that was under her left eye. Dr. Soranik Natu was his current girlfriend, but that may become strained since the Guardians had issued the third new law. One that made physical relationships between lanterns forbidden. He was sad to think that they could no longer be together because of a bunch of smurfs idea that relationships would hinder the Corps. Not wanting it to come to that he would be willing to sacrifice his ring just to be with her and he was sure she would do the same, but he would insist that it would be him who gave up the ring. The Corps needed a strong member like her, he was just some artist that was in the right place at the right time.... After the ceremony he, his best friend Guy Gardner, and Lantern Arisa, went to pay the Guardians a little piece of their minds. They busrted through the citadel doors, unanoinced, and they all gave the guardians their two cents about how they were running things. Kyle himself delivered a speech that guy claimed, Could of made all of the world cry. After that he and Guy went to find what happened to Guys bar, Warriors, to see what fate became of it. Unfortunately they found it reduced to rubble, Guy shed a tear or two over it and Kyle was there to try and cheer him up. As they began to clean the place up a decree went out on all of the Green Lantern rings, Arttention all Lanterns. The third law stating that physical relationship and love between members of the Green Lantern Corps is forbidden has, from this moment forth, been repealed. It repeated itself two more times before disappearing. Kyle looked over Guy who was chuckling a little. Whaddya know, the Blue Meanies still got some heart left in em' after all. Kyle could only help but smile at that. Speaking of hearts, Kyle responded, I'm sure there's a doctor 'friend' of mine smiling right about now. He felt a warm feeling grow in his belly thinking of Sora being in the middle of a surgery and having a smile underneah her mask as her ring told her some if the best news one could hear right about now... 2 months later. Location Korugar It had been a couple of months since the Blackest Night Crisis and things were starting to return to normal, well for everyone except for Kyle. It turned out that his apartment on Earth was leveled and he had no place to stay. So Sora came in and saved the day telling him that he could move in with her on Korugar. He greatfully excepted and that's where he was at the moment. At Soraniks, in bed with her, asleep, though to Kyle it was more like tossing and turning. This night he was being plagued with nightmares, Black Lanterns were everywhere and they were closing in on him and Sora. They finally came close enough and nabbed Sora away from him and engulfed her into their ranks. Kyle fought through them to only find that they had turned her into one of them and she raised her ring to kill him. Before her fatal blow struck himmin the chest his eyes snapped open and he gasped. He bolted upright from the bed and he found himself gasping for air. He could feel his heart ram into his chest. He placed his right hand over his heart to feel the pounding and he found his ring was enjoying ancient glow, it seemed that his mind raced to make a construct to try and fend off the specteres of his nightmares. He took deep breaths and he turned his head to see if he had awoken Soranik, anther or not he did he could not tell since her back was turned to him. He ran his hands through his charcoal hair trying to get a grip, It was just a dream... only a dream, He continually muttered to himself. Once he felt as if he was calm he eased back down onto the bed and tried to fall asleep again.
