Sorry for the long wait. I was busy with my minor stories. Like i promise you the is a little time-skip. I decided that these episodes are not important and can be skipped. After this chapter Izuku will start to fly to Earth.

The is also some new exclusive content i done for this story.

P.S.: I have an announcement to made. In the next month i need to present my diploma and final exam. That's why expect my stories to be slightly delayed. In worst case a little hiatus.

Hope you enjoy this chapter.


Reckoning.

It has been two months since Izuku and Green Lanterns entered Frontier Space. Many important and different things happened in that time.

First of all, changes were Razer. Despite quitting Red Lanterns, the crew couldn't still trust him. It didn't help the fact that former RL had a sharp and sarcastic personality and refused to cooperate. It kinda reminds Izuku of Bakugo, except this one was calmer and less egotistical.

But everything changed when the team received the distress call from the asteroid prison. After coming there, their Power Rings refused to work because of some glowing yellow crystals, which caused some kind of fear, before being imprisoned reveals that jailers, The Spider Guild, uses some kind of helmets to torture prisoners with most painful memories in their life.

But the savior came in the form of Razer, with help from Aya, and rescued GL, earning himself respect from others. And brought back his Red Power Ring. Except for Kilowog. This guy was as stubborn as Izuku.

"I want you two to shake hands", Izuku tiredly said, trying not to snap at the two aliens. "It's an Earth custom to show there's no hard feelings. Come on. Shake hands."

And they shake…their fists at each other with angry looks on their faces.

"Not like that!" he protested in annoyance. It will be a long journey.

The next change happened in Aya. She gained a real body so that she could help others. It started as another distress call from another ship who was carrying an extinct species. The same ship had a broken engine and that made the ship fall in the sun. As everything is coming to an end, Aya uses some of her new parts to go to the fusion core and fix it. It restarts the engines and saves the crew. In addition, at that adventure Razer saved unconscious Kilowog from falling to the sun, finally earning his respect. Aya becomes a new active member of their crew, who dreams to become a Green Lantern herself. Izuku as a loyal friend and fellow dreamer supports her dream.

Then the next adventure happened on the planet Betrassus. To save the royal princess from marrying warlord Kothak she doesn't like, Laura decided to compete in the game to save Iolande from the unwanted marriage. Both of these women had similar lives. Both of them were princesses from war nations, both of them wanted to prove themselves to their people. They quickly become friends.

But the real problem was in the face of Princess Iolande's little brother Prince Ragnar. This one was dreamt to become a Green Lantern itself but his methods were devious. He poisoned the GL of their planet Dulac, and then tried to poison Kilowog to take away his Power Ring. However, the jealous prince was defeated by the united team of Izuku, Laira and Kothak. The final strike was given by his big sister, who was chosen by the Dulac's Power Ring, making her both the Queen and Green Lantern of Betrassus.

It is a good journey. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.


After the long searches GL finally found it. The Shard is the moving base of the Red Lantern Corps. So far, the crew tried to collect any information on the moving fortress they could. But it wasn't very useful.

"Kilowog get ready. Should be in view right... now", Izuku commanded seeing the huge asteroid city on the view. They finally found it. "There it is called the Red Lantern mothership."

"Aya, make sure we have max resolution and magnification", ordered Laira in dread seeing that flying monstrosity.

"Full spectrum scans. I want to know everything about this rock", ordered Kilowog.

For a moment Green Lanterns could only watch at the Shard waiting for something.

Suddenly the hidden door opens up and from it comes stinky garbage with a smelly cloud, which dissolves quickly in the space vacuum.

"Yep, waste dump at 06:00 mean solar time, like clockwork", joked Tomar-Re finding good information for the future.

However, not everyone could share its enthusiasm.

"Congratulations. After weeks of stalking Shard, you've unlocked the secret of when they dump their garbage", Razor announced sarcastically while mockingly clapping his hands. "Can total victory be far behind?"

Despite their adventures, Razor still couldn't let go of his rude attitude. If anything, it has gotten worse.

"I'm not hearing any better ideas coming out of your talk hole, Red", Kilowog fired back in anger at their fellow teammate.

"Break it up guys!" said Laira, trying to stop one more argument between them. "Don't start one more fight here!"

"We're repairing the ship so we can use the ultra-warp and bring reinforcements from Oa", announced Izuku acting like a true leader. "While we're waiting, I'm gathering as much intel as I can without getting us killed or letting the Red Lanterns know we didn't die when they blew up that planet."

Seeing Izuku acting confidently made other Green Lanterns smile in a proud manner. After all of these adventures in other planets, Midoriya becomes more confident in his powers, abilities and skills. He is really growing as a person and as GL.

However, Razor had an indifferent look. Despite Izuku being the first person who gave him a second chance and compassion, RL still sees in him only a child who plays a leader. He doesn't have anything to rival Atrocitus. They are all gonna die.

"Let me tell you what Atrocitus would do", Razer announced, making everyone look at him with anticipation. "He'd come after you relentlessly. He'd keep coming until you were dead, even if it meant his own death."

At that moment, his Red Ring started to blink. Despite the different colors it could mean one thing. Soon the charge will be over. It was holding for two months, but it's a pretty good battery.

"Razer, your Power Ring is almost out of energy. It was impressive that it was holding it so long", Izuku commented trying to diffuse the situation but it wasn't working. "Razer, I know that I am not a great leader. I don't have much experience in leading but I am trying everything to keep my team safe from unnecessary dangers."

"That is exactly the reason why we are failing", Red Lantern spitted on him in anger. "I was a fool to join you. Soon I'll be as useless as all of you. You have no chance of victory if you aren't willing to die for your cause. But it's expected if your leader is a kid."

With these words, he flew away leaving half the crew seethe with anger, and Midoriya in sadness. Leadership is a very new thing for him. Izuku never expected to be chosen as a leader. But he still tries to be a great commander for his team.

"Don't listen to him, Izuku", Kilowog tried to reassure him. "This guy just can't be grateful for other kindness."

"No, it's okay", Izuku said, trying not to look hurt. Being a disappointment was nothing new for him. But Razer's words still hurt him deep.

What GL didn't notice is that Razer set on the mainframe and tried to add some kind of program into the ship, before walking away with a huff.

However, using her unique ability to know everything that's happening on the ship, Aya did notice his actions through her metal big eyeball.


After installing his little trap, Razer left the Interceptor behind. It was a dirty move to leave them but it was the only way he could make things right.

Unfortunately, there was someone that stopped him. It is Aya.

"What are you doing?" she asked in worry.

"None of your business", he bitterly asked. He has no time for her shenanigans.

"Negative. You must have permission to leave the interceptor", she pointed out. But it didn't stop him; he continued to fly and she blocked him. "Explain yourself."

"I'm not a crew member. I just quit", Razer simply explained losing his patience.

"Technically, you are. If it wasn't for the intervention of Green Lantern Izuku you would be a prisoner", Aya explained further proving her point. "Now please return to the ship. I do not want your actions to be misunderstood by the others."

"Heh. Misunderstood?" RL asked in mocking sarcasm.

"Green Lantern Izuku is right about you", the living computer explained. "We know that you are not evil. That you have a good heart inside of you. Let me help you to find it."

"Then you and kid don't know me at all!" Red Lantern answered back in anger. However, he still feels a little happy to hear that there are people who truly believe in him.

But he doesn't need it right now. He has a mission.

"You have forced me to alert Green Lanterns Izuku, Kilowog, Laira and Tomar-Re", she interrupted him one more time before her tone became more pleading. "They will help me bring you back. Please let's go."

"No, you'll all be busy saving the ship", he answered, activating the trigger in his hand.

The next second the Interceptor blows up leaving only a black cloud. Fortunately, the ship was intact. Using it as a destruction Razer disappears.

Despite her desire to pursue him, Aya would never leave her crew alone in danger. With slight hesitation she flies back to the ship to clear out the mess Razer created.


It was chaos inside the Interceptor. Because of the smoke no one can see what's wrong. In addition, the controls are broken. What's worst is the fact that they have no idea how it happened in the first place.

"I've got a quadruple failure in the ultra-warp reactor", announced Tomar-Re in shock.

"Is that even possible?", Izuku asked, mimicking the expression of his mentor.

"Life Support is offline! Flight Controls are offline! Weapons are offline! Is anything in that bucket of bolts online?!" screamed Kilowog in exasperation.

"We're not floating, so we have internal gravity", added Midoriya explaining his point.

"I'm reading the boards right, Izuku", Kilowog reminded his pupil. "And where's Aya?"

"I am here", she announced her entrance before starting to scan the damage. "Scanning systems. Contrary to the readouts, all functions are nominal to profile."

"Maybe she's right", commented Laira in realization. "Cycle the rocker switches for a hard reboot."

Aya did as she ordered and by some miracle all systems were online. There weren't sounds of emergency. And everything looked like nothing happened at all.

That left GL confused. What just happened?

"So, this was a... what?" asked Tomar-Re in confusion.

"A diversion set by Razer", Aya explained looking and sounded sad.

This information surprised others. They can't believe that the Razer just betrayed them right now. After they start to trust him, he sabotages their vessel. But why?

"We fell for the oldest trick in the book", commented Laira in disappointment.

"Where's our little saboteur now?" asked Kilowog in anger. He had some words to tell him. "I'd like to congratulate him on his success."

"He left the ship. I do not know where he went", answered Aya in sadness. From all people she doesn't want Razer to leave.

Unfortunately, there was one who knew it.

"Oh, I think I know exactly where he went", Izuku said, making everyone look at him for an answer. He doesn't tell anything; he just simply points his finger forward.

Seeing the trajectory of his finger and gasps in shock and horror. Midoriya is pointing at the Red Lantern Corps' main base.

"Shard", earthling finished gravely. "Razer plans to attack Red Lanterns alone."

Their simple observation mission just became ten times harder.


Shard

Bleez and her team were deeply bored. Only patrolling the Red Lantern Main Power Battery. It was exhausting. No attacks, no fighting, no killing. After destroying the planet and some Green Lanterns two months ago, there was any more attack.

Bleez needs something new in that sector or else she would become more insane than Veon.

As someone hears her wishes, the figure starts to approach them. Thinking that it's an enemy she gleefully and sadistically orders the guards around. "Intruder! Seize him!"

Finally, some action.

However, her thirst to battle was replaced by the confusion and disbelief. Because the intruder is Razer, who is supposed to be dead.

"Have you forgotten me so soon?" he greeted with his usual sarcastic tone.

"Legion leader Razer?" she asked in surprise. Her state mimicked every RL here. How is he alive? "But you're dead! We were there when the planet blew up. You died a hero."

"Not yet", Razer answered before losing his uniform. It revealed huge scars and burns on his right hand. "But soon."


However, he didn't notice as Bleez tries to contact Atrocitus using her ring.

"Lord Atrocitus, Razer is back", she declared, still in shock. "He's at battery square. He's about to recharge his ring."

Atrocitus was a person who could never be surprised by something. The last time he was surprised was 12 years ago on a blue and green planet far away from the Forgotten Zone. Looks like today is an exception.

But there is no way; he would let Razer welcome back so easily.

"Zilius, prepare a proper welcome for our Razer", he said his right hand gleefully.

Hearing his master's order, Zox could only grin sadistically. He already knows what his Lord is planning to do with the young Lantern.

He just can't wait.


After coming to Central Power Battery, Razer just needed to tell his corps oath. But there are some problems. He completely despises its oath. Before meeting GL, he always was questioning the lyrics of the oath. But after learning their true objectives and means to do it, he hated it more than ever.

But it's no time to be picky.

"With blood and rage of crimson red,

Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,

Together with our hellish hate,

We'll burn you all-that is your fate!"

In mere seconds, his uniform was back on him. His Power Ring is fully charged. Now it's time to end it.


In the ship/base controls, Atrocitus was looking at his project. It's finally finished. Now it only needs a good wielder and test subject.

Speaking of which…

Razer finally enters the room and bows to his leader.

"Ah, a lost son has returned to me", Atrocitus greeted him without turning around to see him. In addition, he hides any data on his project. Razer isn't ready for it. Yet.

"I have. I was captured by the Green Lanterns", Razer half-lied to him coming closer. "But their leader was a naïve child, who thought that I could change. It was only a matter of time before I gained their trust. Then I blew up their ship."

"You did well, Razer", the leader of Red Lanterns simply stated, waiting for an ambush.

"I could only think of being here by your side", Razer commented finally coming close enough to Atrocitus. He then creates a blazing dagger. "To do this!"

Suddenly, the dagger on his hand disappears to his deepest shock.

Feeling the younger alien's confusion, Atrocitus sadistically grins. His plan worked.

Before Razer could understand what's wrong, Atrocitus swings his big arm and sends him flying to the wall. Then Razer's suit starts to disappear, much to his shock and anger. To make things worse, behind him opens doors and Zox with guards enters the place.

Razer understood that he is totally screwed.

"Did you really think I'd allow you to recharge your power ring without finding out your true intentions?" Atrocitus asked sarcastically, very pleased with himself. Then Red Lantern's expression becomes more demanding and terrifying. "What you received was a mere light show. Now tell me, what have you really been doing all this time?"

Right now, Razer deeply regrets that he didn't listen to Izuku. He only could pray that they would never save him.


Meanwhile at the Interceptor

After hearing about the Razor's stunt no one wanted to hide their disappointment, emotions or thoughts, especially Kilowog.

"See? I told you he was a lost cause. And I say good riddance", he commented in disgust. Razer only started to become his friend. "Who knows? Maybe he was planning this the whole time!"

"If that were true, why didn't he just kill us when he had the chance?" rhetorically asked Tomar-Re. He always knew that everything comes from a reason.

"You got to admit that he is right Kilowog", commented Laira in deep thought. "This guy literally had many opportunities to kill us but he didn't do it."

"Yeah, instead, he took the time to create a very convincing diversion", Izuku added in agreement.

"Agreed. The program is nearly undetectable", Aya announced, surprising them. "My subsystems are studying how it works even now."

"Like I told you before, my bet is he went to settle his score with Atrocitus", Izuku deduced gravely. Fighting against Atrocitus alone is suicide mission.

"Then he should have made funeral arrangements, 'cause that's a one -way ticket!" exclaimed Kilowog in disbelief at Razer's stupidity.

"And he knows it, which is why we have to stop him", Midoriya continued shocking everyone.

"How do you plan to break into Shard?!" asked Laira in fright and shock.

"I agree. Izuku so far we learnt only about when they take out their trash", said Tomar-Re in agreement.

However, the answer he received from Midoriya is his smirk.

"It will be morethan enough for our break in", Izuku simply answered.

Older GL could only look at each other with worrying expressions. It will never end well.


It's revealed that his plan is for all teams to use one of the asteroids in this asteroid field, and use it as their cover and shield. Everyone had a mixing opinion towards his plan.

"Of all your stupid ideas, Midoriya, this one wins the prize!" said Kilowog in rage. His colleagues simply nodded in agreement.

"Do you have another idea?" Izuku exclaimed in annoyance. He knows that the plan is terrible but it's the only thing they got.

They have a crewmember to save them.


After taking Razer as a prisoner, guards brought him to the torture chamber. Then he was bound by the red energy, making it impossible for him to escape. What makes things worse is that Atrocitus uses his own Power Battery to charge up tortures for their traitor.

"If you trust no one, Razer, you're never disappointed", Atrocitus simply said, finishing the preparation. Seeing the pissed off expression on Razer really put a smile on RL leader's face.

"Master, I can't believe you're bringing out your personal battery to power his interrogation. He doesn't deserve this", Zox commented in mocking disbelief. But inside he really wanted to see Razer's suffering.

"No", Atrocitus answered, confusing the other occupants of the room. "I have something more deadly."

"Master, don't tell me it's finally ready!" exclaimed Zilius in happy astonishment.

"It is", Atrocitus answered in glee and pushed the button.

Suddenly from the floor something levitates down. It was a Red Power Ring. But this one was different. It has red little crystals on the splint. In addition, it had four thorn-like sharp horns on the frame. Like any other Power Ring it's glowing red color. But this glow had some kind of ominous red.

For some reasons, Razer felt uncomfortable at seeing this Power Ring. He had a feeling that the ring itself hates everything in existence.

However, he couldn't just let Atrocitus fright him, he will stand tall till his last breath.

"New Power Ring? Is that your new project? It looks fancy", Razer commented sarcastically trying to hide his discomfort.

"Shut up, you damn traitor!" screamed Zox in outrage. "You had no idea what this ring can do!"

"Indeed, he hasn't", commented Atrocitus before letting out a dangerous smirk. "Let me explain everything for you."

"After losing everything to those wrenched Guardians and their soulless Manhunters, I founded the Red Lantern Corps to save the universe from their tyranny. However, I knew that I wouldn't be here forever. One day I would reunite with my people and leave this world. But I couldn't leave my Corps to some Red Lantern. I need to find someone with the same level of rage as me. But it would take me forever to find somebody like that."

"And then I decided to use an alternative way. I came back to the remains of my home planet Ysmault. Inside the caves I find the same crystals you see on this Power Ring. They emit the strongest amount of anger. Then I used the blood of Butcher, the Embodiment of Rage, and his mere essence can find the most raging person in the entire universe! It also made this ring ten times stronger than the normal one!"

"And at last! After long years of searching and creating. It's finally here! The weapon to destroy the Guardians of the Universe and their pathetic Green Lantern Corps! The strongest ring for a Red Lantern! Ring of Heir!"

"Behold! The Rage Power Ring of the Wrathful!"

Razer could only gap in shock at this story. He couldn't understand some things, such as what Butcher or how did he create this ring. The fact is: If everything Atrocitus is true about this Power Ring it means that Izuku and others are in great danger. IF that thing could find itself a user, then it means that GL have no chance at winning.

He needs to escape and alert them. But nobody would let him.

"I was hoping that you would be its wielder Razer. You had such a potential", Atrocitus said in disappointment. He then connects the torture machine to the 'Ring of the Wrathful'. "But you prove that you are not worthy to it. And now you will be the first one to feel its power."

"Despite your lies, elements of your story are true. You have been with the Green Lanterns", he continued finishing the preparation. Now the machine is glowing redder than usual. "And by the end of our talk, you'll tell me everything you know about them."

RL leader then gives remote control to Zox eagerly.

"Now, let's begin", he finished without any regret.

"This could go quick or slow, but I really hope you choose slowly", gleefully said Zilius before pushing the button.

Then the red energy from the Power Ring started to flood to the Razer and engulfed him completely. He never felt so much pain his whole life. It was just like inside of him was five stars that blew up. It was immeasurable pain.

The only thing he could do is to scream from fear and agony. And praying so Green Lanterns wouldn't even think to break in Shard. They wouldn't survive the tortures or this Power Ring.


Back to GLs.

Izuku and his crew almost near The Shard. So far, the cannons didn't detect them. It's a good sign. Maybe they have a chance for a break in?

Unfortunately, it can't be so easy. Because suddenly the cannons started to shoot on the asteroids that started to fly dangerously close to the base. Looks like they are programmed to attack anything that is moving. That's his mistake.

"They're shooting at the asteroids, Midoriya!" exclaimed Kilowog in anger at his pupil's mistake.

"I know!" he called back. "Ok, let's use plan B!"

Lasers continued to shoot at everything in distance. Then they blew up the asteroid that others used as cover. However, behind the space rock was nothing.

It reveals that after the explosion was created a dust cloud, which GL used to hide near the back door, took out the trash. Then the trash door opens up and from it appears garbage with grease smoke.

At that moment, Green Lanterns flew into the inside of the ship. They did it. They break in the Shard. It was easy.

Everything else would become harder.


Back at the torture chamber.

The pain didn't stop. If anything, it becomes hundred times worse. The pain is too much for him. He can't hold any longer.

"No! No more! I'll talk! Just make it stop!" he wailed in agony.

Seeing that their prisoner lost any will to fight they stop the procedure. They were pretty pleased with their accomplishment.

"See? A matter of time", commented Zox sadistically. He then flies to Razer and rudely demands, "Speak up."

Instead of answering, Razer only glares hatefully at Zilius before spitting at his eye. In answer Zox just flew away with disgust on his big ugly face.

However, the assault on Razer didn't end. Atrocitus then unexpectedly fast appears and punches him in the gut, making the younger alien cough out blood.

"I'm going to miss you, Razer", Atrocitus whispered in mocking sincerity. He then turns around and addresses his soldiers. "Schedule his execution. We'll make an example of this one."

With these words, he left the room, leaving Razer alone.

He only wanted to protect Green Lanterns from Atrocitus. If they did kill him then they will earn vengeance of the entire corps. He only wanted to save them by killing him alone. And now he will pay for this.

"Is this how I will end?" he thought in despair.


Meanwhile

While Razer was suffering, others were quietly walking around the campus of the spaceship, trying to not get caught. After watching for guards and making sure that they are not here, everyone started once more to discuss the plan.

"Ok, let's repeat it for the last time", Izuku commended before looking at his mentors and walking A. I. "Tomar-Re you are going to the engine room to sabotage this ship. You also need to try to find some needed parts for the Interceptor. Kilowog and Laira you are with me; we need to search for Razer. Aya-san you have the most important role from all out of us. Do you remember the plan? You won't forget anything?"

"I am less likely to forget than you, Green Lantern Izuku", she simply commented with sarcasm, reminding him about her data memory.

Izuku could only face-palm at his words. He forgot who he talked to.

"How's she gonna get in?" Kilowog asked in confusion pointing at the tiny hole that no one could fit.

"With ease", Aya answered shortly before disassembling herself into small robot parts, which started to climb up with their micro spider-like legs.

"I forgot she could do that", he commented in realization seeing as the last part of her entered the hole.

"It never was your strong suit", Laura added humorously. That deeply irritated Kilowog.

"Quiet, you two! Patrol!" Midoriya whispered/shouted at them before pointing behind them. And it was true. The indeed was a small squad of three guards. Seeing opportunity, Izuku motions for them. "Come on."

Luckily, for once, the destiny on their side.


Breaking into the ship's system control wasn't very difficult for Aya with her unique abilities.

She remembers who did the task and understood that it is very important in their war against the Red Lanterns. Aya needs to connect to the database and download every information about their enemies. History, members, weapons, strategies, plans. Anything could be useful.

Now she assembles herself and puts her hand on the controls. She hacked easily and now she is in the system.

Now it's time for a download.


Knocking out the guards was a piece of cake. They didn't even notice guys in green in the big red and black hall. Now they have a disguise to move around the enemy base undetected.

However, there is one problem. They need a place where they can put on the armor without being noticeable by Red Lanterns. They take unconscious guards to the next room.

That was their mistake. Because they found themselves in some kind of shrine with glass mosaic illustrating Atrocitus, Guardians and some kind of evil robots. What made things worse is that inside this room is a slug eyeless alien, who looks like a cleric, wearing an RL uniform and holding a staff with a symbol of the corps and burning eyes.

"It is by hate alone I set my will in motion", he started to proclaim something standing behind heroes. "It is through the breath of rage that vengeance is made manifest. For Wrath only do I live and die." While he was doing it, GLs decided to go to another room but they loudly closed the door making him notice them. "All hail... who's there?!"

"We are doomed", Laira commented with dread while she and others tried to put on guard's armor.

"I warn you; I can defend myself", the cleric called back from the door.

"You two hide", Izuku ordered seeing that the armor fits only him. It's too small for Killowog and too big for Laira. "I'll stall."

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" slug asked in impatience seeing as a guard exiting a door.

"Official business. Sorry, sir", Izuku answered, making his voice deeper. He also prays that this slug would buy his acting.

"Do I look like a "sir" to you? I'm cleric Loran!", Loran fired back in anger. But then his expression calmed down. "Lucky for you, soldiers are always welcome in the house of our lord Atrocitus."

He then guides Midoriya towards the glass mosaic. Seeing everything in close distance he saw everything more clearly.

On the left side he saw an image of civilians who are near the city, which looks very similar to the Shard.

In the middle he sees an image of Atrocitus standing tall with a Red Lantern Power Battery. And deep down were aliens who kneel before him. It was looking kinda scary.

On the Right side he saw something that clearly takes away his breath. It was Guardians of the Universe. At least it was the crude, ugly and menacing version of them. And then deep down was an army of the red and purple robots that kept killing innocent civilians. That was for Izuku the most confusing thing. What are these robots? Where did they come from? Why did the Guardians look like bad guys? And how robots, Red Lanterns and Guardians connected? He needs answers.

Fortunately, he has someone who can help.

"Cleric Loran, it's been a long time since I've been here", Midoriya stated pointing at the windows. "I'd love to hear the story behind these beautiful stained-glass windows."

"Of course, my angry child", Loran said eagerly. He likes to tell this story to inspire other Lanterns to fight for their cause. He then opens up the big red book. It pretty much looked like a Book of Oa. The differences only in the red color and icon of Red Lanterns. "Everything is written in the Book of Rage.

"The city represents the capital of Ysmault before the guardians arrived, but it would be any city on a thousand worlds in our now-ravaged galaxy. And then the Guardians descended upon us. They said they would bring peace and order, but as the Book of Rage tells us, lies tumbled from their mouths. They said, "kneel before us, and you will want for nothing. " but we would not worship them, and their wrath was deep and terrible. The blue devils unleashed their automaton Manhunters, and the Guardians' soulless avengers snuffed out every life, stealing every breath and stilling every heart. It was his holy hate that bore the first fruit of a Red Lantern, he, our lord Atrocitus of the Five Inversions. So, by Red Lantern's light, we shall bring vengeance to those who laid us low."

Now Izuku understood everything. Atrocitus was using the destruction of the planets and civilizations by some unknown robots. And then he blamed the Guardians of the Universe labeled them as their 'creators'. He spread this propaganda to gather the army and resources for a conquest.

He used lies to guide them to the wrong way. But it can be a solution to it. He just needs to explain everything to the Guardians so that they confirm Atrocitus's lies.

And then war over. Everyone is happy. He is a hero. He will be sent back home to Earth. Everybody is winning.

However, there is something else. He can't believe that this story is totally fake. Maybe this is something he doesn't know about Guardians.

But if the Guardians did something seriously bad then it would be known to the entire Universe. it's not like they will hide everything about their past. They respected and wise creatures, they would never hide their mistakes with some lies. Would they?

Before he could think about it further, two guards entered the church, startling two of them.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Loran asked angrily. "Does this look like your mess hall to slam my door like that? Have you no respect?"

"Pardon, cleric. We're searching for three missing gunners", the guard answered.

It was bad. If they find bodies of the guards it would mean that Red Lantern will know that someone broke in the Shard. He needs to make them leave and fast.

"I'll search for them here. You two go check the other zone", Izuku said alarmingly.

Fortunately, these two bought his acting either. Now he needs somehow to let out Kilowog and Laira without these cleric's knowledge,

Unfortunately, his bad luck decided to kick in and from the doors were thrown up Kilowog, who tried to fit his foot in the boot, which was smaller than his one.

From behind doors, Laira could only face-palm at her colleague's stubbornness. He just couldn't give up with that armor.

Seeing two intruders, guards pointed their rifles at GLs. Realizing that their cover is blown, Izuku needs to save them. Good thing that he became good at improvising.

"Hold your fire! We can't damage the history of our Corps!" he called them trying to stop shooting. Surprisingly, guards listened to him. Then he comes to his mentor and quietly whispers to him, "Do you trust me?"

Before Kilowog could answer, the last thing he saw was the red armored fist coming at his face.

Then everything turns black.


While Izuku and others were searching for information about RLs, Razer was prepared for his execution. He was on his knees, bound by the energy chains and standing in some kind of cage.

But he doesn't care about his life. He despises himself and the cause he was fighting before. Despite everything Izuku said to him before, he still feels guilty because of everything he did. He thinks that only death can atone for his sins. He is prepared to die.

"Remember this lesson well. This is what happens to those who stray from my righteous path", said Atrocitus entering the chamber with Zox and Bleez, both of them holding execution axes and blood thrusting sneers. "Zilius, proceed."

"This might sting a bit", Zilius commented holding his weapon very high.

"It's a pity that you are dying. We could have so much interesting time", Bleez added seductively before dismissing herself.

At this second, Zox swings his axe and Razer prepares to die.

However, suddenly behind them the group hears some knocking. Much to their confusion

"Who dares!?" asked Atrocitus angrily that the execution was delayed.

What they see next deeply surprises all of them. The door opens and from it comes one guard with a bound and unconscious Kilowog and Laira. Red Lanterns couldn't believe it, the Green Lanterns who were supposed to be dead are here, alive and caught by some guard. It sounded like some miracle.

Seeing two of the Lanterns scared Razer deeply. If they are here it means that others are too. His self-sacrifice plan to save them totally failed.

"I just caught these two stinking Green Lanterns in your shrine", Izuku said before kicking two of them to the knees of Atrocitus.

At that action, both of them wake up and the first thing they see is the ugly sinister sneer. Seeing the situation they are in, they could let out a simple.

"Oh, boy", they both said at the same time in dread.

"So, it seems Razer wasn't the only one to survive the explosion of Colony 12. You Green Lanterns are harder to kill than I thought", Atrocitus crudely smirked at the fact that his arch-nemesis are here.

"Uh, master? Permission to cut off Razer's head?" asked Zox in anticipation.

"Can I take this bitch's head?" asked Bleez in annoyance looking at the Laira.

However, Atrocitus's attention was surely on the Izuku, who he thought was a trooper who caught two Green Lanterns.

"What's your name, soldier?" he asked in intrigue.

Seeing that the RL leader didn't recognize him, Izuku let out a sigh of relief.

"Uh, Deku, my lord", Midoriya answered him, using his old nickname/insult from childhood. Who knew it would be used again?

"You can execute the fat one you caught at the same time Razer meets his doom", he ordered, giving Izuku the same large axe as others. "Bleez you can take the woman."

"I am not FAT!" screamed Kilowog in anger at the insult. While Laira was glaring fire daggers at the cruelly smirk of Bleez.

"Let's get started", Zilius said, not hearing the scream of Kilowog.

Then he, Izuku and Bleez raise their axes high, all of them ready to kill.

Seeing that it is their end, Razer last one time looks at Kilowog and Laira with a sad and guilty expression. He didn't want to risk their lives. And now they would die because of him. It's his entire fault.

However, they surprise and confuse him by hidden and fast wink.

"Death to all enemies of Atrocitus!" Izuku perfectly played his role as an executioner. He then quietly whispers into his com-link. "Aya-san, now!"

At that moment, the hell breaks loose. The steam starts to fly from the pipes, shocking, confusing and disorienting the Red Lanterns. Something that Izuku was counting on was his plan.

"Warning, power controls overloading", warning called from speakers. "Retreat to the interior safe zone immediately."

Using their state of panic, Kilowog and Laura take off their cuffs, freeing themselves. Then Izuku throws away his axe at the main cable. It stopped energy flowing to the Razer destroying his cage.

Seeing their plan of attack surprised Razer. However, despite their noble deeds, he can't believe that they just risked their lives to break into the most dangerous place in the galaxy only to save him. His life is not worth their suffering.

"You were foolish to come! I made my intentions clear!" he commented in disbelief. Still one part of him cares that they come here only for him. "Do you even have a plan to get out of here?"

Izuku was really tired of RL's attitude. Even after everything that happened to all of them, he is still fighting them. And now after them putting their lives in danger to save him, he still is mad. Now he will get it.

"Don't need one. And you're coming with us!" Izuku answered loudly surprising Razer with his angry tone. "We will have a serious talk when we will be back into the Interceptor!"

While they were talking, Red Lanterns continued to panic. That acting irritating Atrocitus each second. If it becomes worse, he will lose it.

"They've infected our reactor with a virus!" wailed Zox in fear and panic.

It was the last straw.

"It's a trick, you idiot!" bellowed Atrocitus in rage. He then used his Power Ring to blow away the steam and the fog.

When everything is cleared, they see Razer, Kilowog and Laira free from their cuffs.

However, Atrocitus's attention was on the new young Green Lantern. He had a thought that he saw him somewhere but couldn't remember where. Then seeing the teengaer's green eyes and green hair the realization deeply hit him, making him understood who he is.

"You!" he snarled, seeing the familiar face.

"Remember me?" Izuku asked with a smirk, trying to play brave fool.

"I never forgot faces. Even weak fleshy human terrans", Atroctus answered, still looking mad.

"Master! You know this child?!" asked Zox in confusion.

"He was the same Green Lantern, who blew us up that time!" added Bleez wanting to tear them apart.

"Yeah, we met twelve years ago on my home planet", Midoriya answered looking grim remembering his origin. "I didn't let him take the head of Abin Sur."

"He did it,'' admitted the Red Lantern leader, surprising everyone. "He ran towards me and stood between me and Abin Sur. I wanted to kill him for his disobedience but I didn't. At that time, he was a little hatchling or a cub. I showed him mercy that day. I couldn't kill a weak small child like this. If I did it then I would be no better than that bastard Guardians and their heartless Manhunters."

Hearing their story surprised every occupant in this room. For Green Lanterns, they didn't expect that Izuku really knew Atrocitus. They always thought that Izuku just mixed up Red Lantern with another alien instead. Looks like they were wrong and he was telling the truth.

For Red Lanterns, and Razer. They could only gap in shock at this information. For all they always knew that those who met Atrocitus will suffer for it. But this Green Lantern not only met him but also foiled his plan to bring the head of Abin Sur and he is here and is still alive. And most importantly their lord shows mercy. Something that he and others lost a long time ago. It looks like there is something new about their master.

"But now I regret it. After all these years you still couldn't leave me alone. Before I could kill any Green Lantern, you were appearing in my head. Over and over again!"

"What makes it worse is the fact that the mercy I did show you, you decided to thank me by becoming something that I despise more than anything in this universe! A Green Lantern! Did you forget what I promised to you all these years ago? If the next time I would learn that you are standing in my way then you wouldn't give me any choice as to kill anyone on this pitiful planet. Now because of you your entire race will be out by us after we destroy you and those wrenched Guardians!"

With the last shout, Atrocitus lets out a wave of red energy sending his enemies flying. Then he and his people start to attack them with blasts from the blasters and rings.

Despite how Green Lanterns tried to protect themselves, they were no match for the angry Atrocitus who could take Izuku, Laira and Kilowog at the same time. Seeing the odds, Razer runs to the nearest Power Battery and tries to recharge his Power Ring with the disgusted oath.

"With blood and rage of crimson red,

Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,

Together with our hellish hate,

We'll burn you all-that is your fate!"

The next second there was a bright flash of red light and Razer was back in his Red Lantern uniform. Not wanting to waste time, he sees a glass container which keeps The Rage Power Ring of the Wrathful and breaks it. He couldn't let this thing to be kept in Atrocitus's hands. If someone would receive it then there will be a chance that he would become his ally.

"NO! Power Ring for my Heir!" Atrocitus wailed in shock seeing his prized possession leaving the ship to fly far away.

Seeing him distracted, GL's decided to act. Laira and Kilowog using their rings creates a rope and ties up his hands and legs. Then Izuku jumps over him creating a big gauntlet over his right fist and punches Atrocitus in the face knocking him to the ground.

Unfortunately, the reinforcements came and started to shoot them down. Luckily Laira creates a shield to cover themselves.

"I know you'd willingly die today, but do you have the strength to live for a cause?" Izuku asked, trying to hold Razer, who wants to fight Atrocitus. "Because we sure could use you right now."

Razer had a second to think about it. He still wants to kill Atrocitus but after risking the lives of Green Lanterns. He can't sacrifice any of their lives anymore. In addition, he needs to tell them about the new Power Ring.

"Aya, we are ready to escape", called Kilowog seeing Razer ready to retreat.

Then Gls and Razer flew away from the base trying to find the Interceptor.

However, Atrocitus had a different plan.

"Finish them. I don't want prisoners", he ordered them while picking up the Power Battery. "And try to calculate the trajectory of my future heir's Power Ring."

All of their break in, couldn't have just been unnoticeable by the cameras or motion sensors. They must have a hacker to nullify their security features. But the only way to do it from inside the Shard. Destroy the hacker means to destroy any chance of survival.

They will not escape Shard alive.


Meanwhile with Aya

While others try to escape, Aya almost finished downloading the information she needs to stop the Red Lanterns. In addition, she disables the weapon system and sends their ship guiding GLs for a safe way.

"I have shut down Shard's automated defenses to allow the Interceptor to pass through", Aya answered to Izuku via com-link. "I also contacted Green Lantern Tomar-Re and he is already on his way here. Estimating arrival at docking bay 22 in 8 minutes and 40 seconds."

"Good. Meet us there", Izuku called back eagerly for everything to be over.

"My own arrival may be delayed. I am currently downloading a large file", she countered back. "I am almost finished though."

"Please, hurry up. Over and out", he finished talking, ending their conservation.

As soon as she finished her download, behind her opened door and from it came Atrocitus.

At that moment, Aya for the first time showed a new emotion.

Fear.


Back to the Green Lanterns.

Not knowing the state of Aya, GLs tries to escape their rageful captors. So far, their shots did not hurt them but they only irritated and annoyed them.

"Ok, I've had about enough of you Poozers!" called Kilowog in anger. He then creates four gatling guns. Two on his arms and two on his shoulders.

The trick worked. The shots started to meet their targets. And then as falling snow Red Lanterns started to fall down. Seeing so much defeated opponents made Kilowog smile at his result.

However, his happiness lasted not so long.

Suddenly, the big red beam was fired on him from the skies. It's revealed to be Veon.

Kilowog was lying in the small crater. Before he could understand what happened, he was sent flying to the wall of the building by the Skull. It didn't even finish yet. Skullox then uses Kilowog as a battering ram to crash him further through the walls of many buildings.

Before Skullox could perform a finishing move, which is plasma breath, towards Kilowog, who is ready to lose consciousness, he was hit by the big spinning star knocking him out.

Then Kilowog's friends flew down to check on him.

"Everything's spinning", the only thing he could say.

Seeing that situation critical, Izuku tries to contact Aya and warns her that she needs to finish her download and go there.

"Aya-san, ETA 30 seconds. Where are you?" he asked frantically.

He receives an unexpected answer in a way of giant hologram of Atrocitus, who is holding Aya without her parts

"Your plan didn't work, guardian lapdog. If you'd like to reclaim your toy, meet me at Battery Square", hologram said before disappearing.

Seeing their friend in the enemy clutches made all of them to have one similar thought.

"It's a trap", said Razer stating the obvious.

"Of course, it is, genius", commented Laira in disdain.

"But we don't leave anyone behind", added Izuku firmly. His thoughts were shared with others.

"I'll get the comp… Aya, I'll get her", stated Razer almost saying 'computer'. She is far more than a simple computer.

"Not alone, you won't", disagreed Midoriya. "You already tried to work alone; it didn't work out at all. I am going with you."

"You've got to get the sergeant to safety and prep the ship for takeoff", he countered back.

"Laira will do it", Izuku fired once more.

"We won't get away from a dozen Red Lanterns with only ring power", Red Lantern explained further proving his point. "We need that ship and Kilowog needs medical attention."

"Too risky. We board the ship now, and then we'll find Aya", countered Green Lantern once again.

"By then it will be too late!" Razer screamed in exasperation before his expression became serious. "You're always going on about having the courage not to fight, so do you have the courage to leave this to me?"

"I told you already Razer that I am trying to protect my crew from unnecessary dangers", Izuku sighed, not wanting to argue with his friend any longer. "That's why I'm trusting you to bring back a member of my crew, Razer. Don't make me regret it. Just promise me one thing."

"What exactly", he asked in intrigue and confusion.

"Promise me that both of you will be back to the Interceptor alive", human explained shocking RL from that request.

In answer Razer simply nodded before flying away to save Aya. Green Lanterns followed his example and flew towards the Interceptor.

However, no one noticed that Izuku decided to fly after the Red Lantern.


When Razer came to the Central Power Battery, he was greeted by an ugly and horrifying sight. It was Atrocitus, who was holding broken and dented Aya in one hand and in the other Razer's Power Battery.

"Leave her alone", Razer ordered in horror at seeing her in such a state.

"You want her? Anything for you" Atrocitus said before carelessly throwing Aya in the air.

Frantically Razer caught her bridal style. Then he was attacked by the Atrocitus's beam making him fall down and drop Aya by the way.

In answer, Razer shoots his own beam to counter. Each beam seems equal in power, but Atrocitus's one was glowing brighter. And was slowly pushing Razer's away.

"I hoped you would choose wisely", Atrocitus commented in disappointment. "I hoped you'd be an ambassador for my legacy."

"A legacy of murder and hate", Razer added in disgust. That anger made his beam to finally push through Atrocitus's one slowly coming to its target.

Unfortunately, Atrcitus used his ring to take a large amount of ground to act as a shield. And it's worked perfectly.

Razer could only look in disbelief, seeing that his strong attack was nullified in such a way. Before he could think further, Atrocitus broke his shield in four small parts and threw it to Razer.

But it was only a distraction before Atrocitus hit Razer hard repeatedly sending him to the stars. Then he created a burning whip that he used to throw Razer against buildings injuring him further.

"I had such high ambitions when I created you", stated Atrocitus stopping his assault.

"You didn't create me, I did!" Razer argued in anger breaking free from the whip. All of it made him remember his happy past. If he only listened to her. "If only I had listened to..."

"If only you had listened to your sad little farm girl?" Red Lantern leader finished surprising Razer. How did he know about it? "Do you think what she said to you, what you felt for her, mattered in the least?" he stated before stomping on the Razer continuing to torment him. "It was I who conquered your world, who set your warlords against each other to create destruction and chaos and hate!" Atrocitus then throws Razer away, crushing him into the building.

Hearing everything Atrocitus just said shocked Razer deeply. After thinking that he joins RL by his own free will, it revealed that his own decisions were just used by someone else to take a good part of his soul from him. He couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and manipulative. Could he be also?

"It was I who saw your potential and recruited you. And when I saw you needed only a nudge to become a truly hateful creature, then I sealed your fate."

"It was I who slaughtered your precious Elana."

"You done what?!" screamed the voice of Izuku Midoriya, who was hiding and heard everything. If someone said that he was mad it was understanding of the century. "How could you have done it?! His planet never did anything wrong to you! And you caused a civil war and killed Razer's girl only to recruit him! Do you even have a heart?!"

Razer could only gap at Izuku. Not only he went after him but he also watched everything. And now he watches as the kindest boy leader was just shaken with uncharacteristic rage towards Atrocitus and his past sins. No not rage. It was righteous fury.

"You are still standing in my way", Lord Atrocitus simply stated, trying not to show the surprise at feeling the huge level of rage in the young earthling. Instead he says, "Heart is weakness."

At that moment, every self-control, every patience, every calmness was broken and was replaced by rage, fury and madness. With a wild shout he runs to the Atrocitus, who simply uses his plasma breath at him.

However, he and Razer were deeply shocked when Izuku jumped out from it looking totally unscratched by the Red Lanterns signature attack.

"HEART IS NOT A WEAKNESS! IT'S MAKE US STRONGER!" Izuku shouted before unleashing the series of punches and kicks to the disbelieving Atrocitus. With the last punch he sends him flying. "AND NOW YOU WILL PAY FOR HURTING RAZER!"

Before he could land, Midoriya shoots a big green beam at RL making him crush into the Central Power Battery destroying it.

After that Izuku could only repeatedly huff from those attacks. It really drained him so much. Razer and Aya, who just woke up, couldn't believe that their kind, calm and brave kid leader just defeated the strongest Red Lantern with such a wild way. For a moment, Razer thought that Izuku's eyes and hair became red. But quickly dismisses it.

"Now do you still regret that I don't act like an Atrocitus?" Izuku called sarcastically and tiredly. It took everything from him. "Razer, we have to get to the Interceptor. You take Aya and let's fly out of here."

"We can't! We must kill him. We wouldn't have a second chance like this" argued Razer once again.

"Razer, I have vital information for Izuku Midoriya, but my mobility has been impeded", said Aya trying to fit in.

"No. You two go. I stand here", Razer countered in stubbornness.

"Razer, don't play a hero", said Midoriya trying to explain to his friend to see a reason. "When I was flying here, I saw the army of Red Lanterns. I'm sure they saw this explosion and right now flies here. If they see their leader dead then they will attack us. We are both exhausted and we don't stand a chance against them. We need to escape."

"You don't understand I need to do it", RL pleaded. "He takes everything from me. Let me pay him back. Please."

"Razer, I heard everything", GL stated before hugging him much to his surprise. "I don't think I will ever understand such pain. Nobody deserves it, especially you. And I promise that one day you will have your chance. But I need you to remember that you are not alone."

"You have me, Kilowog, Aya, Laira, Tomar-Re. You are one of us. We all care about you. We are friends. As your leader it is my job to keep you and others safe. But I can help you if only you let me. Let's just go away from this dump."

Razer could stare at Izuku. He couldn't just understand this kid. Why is he so kind to him? Why? He acted as an ungrateful egoist jerk, who only insulted and disrespected him. He even told him that he is the worst leader. And despite it, Midoriya still wants to help him. He risked his life, fighting against Atrocitus only to save him from Red Lanterns. These are qualities of the real leader.

From this moment, Razer started to truly respect Izuku Midoriya as a person, as a Lantern and finally as a leader.

Then before RLs could find them, Izuku and Razer, who was carrying Aya and his Red Lantern Power Battery, flew away to the flying Interceptor.


When they got into the Interceptor, they were greeted by the disappointment crew. Izuku for leaving them and flying after Razer; Razer for getting them in that mess in the first place.

Then they put Aya in the repair chamber. Fortunately, her injuries weren't so serious, and she can fix herself easily. But it didn't make them less worried about her.

"Aya, are you, all right?" asked Tomar-Re in concern.

"I am fine. Although my repairs shall take some time, that is inconsequential", she answered with some struggle.

Then their attention was put on Razer. And it was far from happiness.

"Your actions put us all in danger", Laira started in disapproval.

"Atrocitus knows we're alive now, and he'll be looking for us", Tomar-Re added with a frown.

"Our job just got infinitely harder thanks to you!" Kilowog finished with a shout. He already receives a good rest and slight recovery. "I hope you are happy!"

Any other day Razer would argue with them with any argument he could find. But today he couldn't. Because today he risked their lives to save him. And they are right completely. It's his entire fault.

That's why he could only lower his hand in sadness and shame.

"Razer, just tell us why did you do it?" unexpectedly asked Izuku, surprising all of them.

"If defeated Atrocitus then it would mean that we will get an army of angry Red Lanterns for a rageful revenge", he explained honestly. After today, he owns Izuku many things. So also, an apology. "I couldn't let you become their target. You probably had families, friends and planets to go back. But I had nothing left that why I decided to go alone. I deserved a death after my past sins. You are the only thing I have in my life."

His answer surprised many of them. They didn't expect that Razer did it for them. He was ready to sacrifice himself to their enemies only to keep them safe. It looks like the more of Razer they didn't know about.

"Razer I already told you, that we are your friends", Izuku said wisely. "We care about each other and never leave our teammates behind. You can't get rid of us so easily. You stuck with us for a long time."

"You are right. Thanks for the rescue by the way", Razer chuckled with humor. Before his expression became guilty. "Also, I own you an apology. I was wrong about you and your leadership skills. Today you were risking your life to save your angry teammate/prisoner, who was always insulting you all the way. Yes, you are not Atrocitus but it's not bad. Your heart has a courage, compassion and ferocity I never saw in anybody. You are a much greater leader than he ever was. And it's an honor for me to fight with you by your side."

And now all of Green Lanterns drop their jaws in shock and disbelief. Razer just apologized and thanked Izuku. It sounded unbelievable.

"Apology accepted", Izuku humbly commented. However, inside he was screaming in happiness. Finally, someone realized his true potential. After 16 years of disappointment, someone admitted his qualities. And it was coming from Razer from all of the people. Izuku slowly became a hero he always dreamt to be.

"Attention, I have unlocked the encryption on the files I stole from the Red Lantern mainframe", Aya called them before showing them a hologram of The Rage Power Ring of the Wrathful. Seeing that ring once more made Razer shudder from the memory alone.

"What's so important in that Power Ring?" asked Laira in confusion.

"The Rage Power Ring of the Wrathful. It's a creation of Atrocitus", answered Razer. "This ring is ten times stronger than the normal one. This one is supposed to belong to the most raging person in the entire universe. This ring is for Atrocitus's heir. I let it free so we would get a chance to save this 'chosen one'."

"Now we need to find this 'Super Power Ring'", commented Kilowog in annoyance. "Where can we find it?"

"Fortunately, I pinpoint the exact location of this Power Ring and already deduced the planet it will fly to", Aya said before showing one more hologram of the said planet.

Said planet made everyone freeze in shock. They could only watch at this planet with gaping mouths. What was a coincidence that happened? They then slowly looked at Izuku, who couldn't move from his place even if they would push him.

"You have got to be kidding me" the only thing he voiced.

Because the said planet was blue and green in color. It was Earth. His home planet. The strongest Red Lantern will be born on his planet. And unfortunately, he already has a possible candidate for this title.

Looks like he goes back home earlier than he expected.


Inko Midoriya was preparing for her date. After learning that her son is alive and in space training to become a hero, it slightly made her feel lighter. If her son is safe and alright it was more than enough for her.

However, she couldn't tell anybody this secret, even Mitsuki and her family. She was playing a role as a grieving mother. She hates lying but doesn't have a choice for that matter. Importantly, if she told the truth, people would think that she is insane.

She was grateful that she could talk with Izuku almost every day. She was seeing him growing as a brave and kind man and hero. She can't wait for a day when he will come back for her. Unfortunately, the connection became bad and she couldn't talk with him as much as before.

Deciding to distract herself from her son, her new friend decided to invite her on a date. The man despite being sickly thin was a nice man with a great heart. She thought that he and Izuku would become friends easily.

Her trail of thoughts was interrupted by the knocking on her door. Strange she wasn't expected by anyone today. Shrugging her shoulders, she opens the door only to see… nobody?

What was the joke?

"I am down here", a wise and gentle voice called her.

She looked down and saw familiar to her one of the Guardians of the Universe, who holds some kind of incomplete blue lantern. He became a good friend to her and to her son. When Izuku was busy with his training, they were talking about many different things they were curious about. Such as Izuku, his accomplishments, his praises etc.

Seeing Ganthet on her doorsteps made Inko curious. What is he doing here? How did he get here? Was it about Izuku? Is he okay? Is there a reason why he doesn't contact here any longer?

"Sorry for interrupting you, Midoriya-san", Ganthet said, stopping her trail of words. Like a son , like a mother. "I know you had many questions about what I am doing here. But how about we talk inside? There is so much I need to talk about with you. Also, I need to prepare for arrival in Izuku. He will be back soon."

Inko then hurriedly called Toshinori and told him that she needs to cancel their date because of the family emergency.


The Rage Power Ring of the Wrathful. Hope you like it?

It was my special idea for Lantern Corps to had a Super Power Ring that was made by essence or part of the Emotional Entities. The first one is Rage. And it already had a perfect wielder for this. Who can it be?(*hint*)

Like i told you Izuku will go to Earth in the next chapter.

But i must warned you that when Izuku will go to Earth it doesn't mean that he will go to the Entrance Exam Arc. Some pretty much important things happened there while he was away. What exactly happened i explain in the next chapter.

Sorry, that you didn't saw a Razer kicking Atrocitus's but. Instead you saw Izuku doing it(*hint*). But don't worry Razer will had a chance to shine on Earth.

Till the next time.
