Part 1 - Ring Around the Rosie

[wieldtherainbow]

The briefing was, well, brief, given the complicated situation they were being thrust into. Stacy tried to give them as much as she could but apparently her intel on this universe was rather limited.

For this reason, they were dumped rather unceremoniously on a vast planet, with grassy green fields, the dropship that dropped them off retreating on autopilot and disappearing back into the transdimensional ether. It was a lovely planet at the very least, with vast deep blue skies, teeming with vegetation, but oddly, they all would likely find themselves dealing with the unnerving inkling feeling that they were somehow being watched. There were no sentients or even animals in site, however.

The only thing they could do right now was wait. They had been told that they would be found, that they would be offered rings, taken into these different Corps of people, and they they needed to make sure the war ended in a way that didn't devastate life in this universe.

That was something of a tall order.

"Well, that's not disturbing in the least," snarked Sherlock.

"A number of us are originally from Earth, yes, but as my comrade said, we are travelers. We're working on finding our way back home - and trying to lend a hand here and there where we can on the way," Simon answers. It's an odd way of phrasing things, but it's not untrue.

His head turns toward Sinestro - what kind of name was that, anyway - and nods. "Your Prophecy seems to line up with what little we know - we received a strange message from an unknown source, calling for us to come here."

Carol gets a polite, if awkward nod in greeting. Leeron once told him that the power of love changes the universe, but this isn't quite what Simon had in mind.

Another Green Lantern looked towards Hal.

"Looks like they're just as in the dark as we are, Hal," said John Stewart. "We need to bring as many of them as we can to Oa."

[wieldtherainbow]

"You will, of course only take the ones that receive green rings, Jordan, or rings of your allies. Those who are chosen by the yellow are rightfully mine," Sinestro cut in.

[wieldtherainbow]

"You can have 'em," said another Lantern with a curl of his lip. "The only way you yellow freaks are welcome on Oa is if you're goin' right to the Sciencells."

Spinelli still had that air of excitement that practically radiated off of him, but was self-aware enough to know if he started talking he ran the risk of saying entirely too much. And, for the sake of the mission, he kept his mouth shut.

Being recruited into the Corps, though...well, suffice it to say, he had no problem with that at all. Hopefully the others would see it that way, too.

"Guy, don't antagonize the supervillain," said another green, one with a somewhat ridiculous-looking mask.

He turned to the crew.

"Name's Kyle. We're going to do the ring thing now and let them fly. If you're meant to be in each of our Corps, a ring from that corps will choose you. Those of you that are greens, blues, indigos, or violets will be coming with us because we have a loose alliance going right now. We'll have to talk to our blue bosses back on Oa after that to figure out where to go from there and see what's going on with this whole prophecy."

He turned to a large pink alien. "Kilowog, let 'er rip."

[wieldtherainbow]

"Ready, poozers? Here they go."

The pink alien opened a green box construct he'd been carrying and a mass of green rings zinged out and through the air, searching for the nearest people worth to be Green Lanterns.

A strange woman with a staff did the same, opening up a sphere and releasing indigo rings.

"Nok nek sur la sur nik," she said in an language that Stacy's microbes apparently couldn't translate.

[wieldtherainbow]

"It is my great hope that some among you have the power to bring hope to the universe," said a blue Lantern who released some blue rings.

[wieldtherainbow]

"Those who are ruled by the red light rage will help the Red Lanterns bring hate to the universe," snarled a vicious-looking alien.

[wieldtherainbow]

"Love," Carol said, releasing glowing, violet rings from a sphere. They pulsed brightly, the rings, promising the power of love, as they floated towards the crew-members.

"It’s all you need. Well," she added wryly, "to paraphrase the Beatles, at least."

[wieldtherainbow]

"We'll soon see if any among you are worthy of acting in the name of Sinestro," said the pink alien as a rather sinister toothy Yellow Lantern behind him released a bevy of yellow rings.

[wieldtherainbow]

Multiple rings started to zing around the group in a swirling storm of color and light.
