open Brightest Day

[RAGESTAR 479]

Crimson smiled gleefully as he saw the oncoming army of manhuntes approaching. "Oh, looks like that featherbrains little trick attracted more tincans...this is gonna be fun!" he said, before using his ring to construct a massive battleship, lined with canons. Crimson teleported to the deck of the ship and looked down at the army with a grin. "FIRE!!" he yelled, before firing off countless shots from the canons into the army. (-1) (18)

[OG Blaze 269]

Optyx looked down the sights and initiated the pelt of tethers. The tethers were massive and had a sharp sting at the end of it. The tethers impaled the man hunters and retracted into the turret to be re-used. The numbers of the man-hunters were impressive and weren't easily being taken out. More kept showing up, after one was destroyed three more took it's place.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole growled in frustration "damn, we're barely denting there numbers! We need to do something more effective... Wait, I've got an idea!" He said, before focusing and making a giant magnet in the middle of the army, pulling in dozens of them from it's magnetic attraction. After that sole planted large bombs on the magnet and snapped his fingers, making it explode spectacularly. (-2)(11) "I'm not done yet!" He said, as he focused again and caused a small portal to open in a large group of them. The portal quickly grew and consumed them, and sole quickly picked a destination to drop them off in. Soon a small muffled sizzle could be heard from the sun. (-3)(8) "now we're getting somewhere!" He said, before focusing one last time and blasting more manhunters with beams and slashing more with his weapons.

Photo Journal pressed upward and outward with all his strength, his muscles straining.  At first nothing happened, then slowly he felt movement.  He kept up pressing.  Then the large rock fell.  He pushed some other rocks and pieces of timbers away.  Once it looked like it was clear he adjusted his hat so it was back on his head.  Can't have folks see what he had under his hat after all.  He made sure his saddlebags were on and covering what was on his sides, adjusting the strap a bit on his saddlebags to be sure it was secure, as he did the hat strap under his chin.  He then jumped up, pulling himself up.  Pausing he looked around.  

"What happened here, some rampaging dragon?" he asked himself as he continued looking around.  

He saw a glow, looking at it closer he saw it was a greenish glow.  It came close to him he saw it was a ring in the middle of the glow.  "What the?" He said.

[Mr. Critical 434]

(I'm back now.)

Aaron began tearing through the machines. Dropping them from the sky as if they were made of wet toilet paper. He remembered the reckage they have caused. Innocent blood spilled. And how his new home was destroyed. He channeled energy into the sword and with a mighty slice sent a wave of energy through the masses.(15) Yet more still came. He was getting tired of this. Aaron went wave after wave thinning the masses.(9) He starting to see them thin with the help of the others. They were doing it. These things were losing. the sword and wrist blades disappeared so he cold switch for a new weapon. Focusing the rings power, he conjured a small star.(8) He began to focus and made it grow, pulling them into the small sun.(7)

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole saw Aaron, as well as other lanterns, tearing through the manhunters ranks and smiled. They were doing it, they were winning! "Well, I can't let them show me up." He said, before concentrating energy into both hands and spinning around like a mini indigo tornado. As he did the energy began to lash out like tendrils of pure destruction, vaporizing and cutting enemies to pieces left and right. (-1)(7)

[Mr. Critical 434]

Aaron was low on his energy. His attacks were draining him and the manhunters got a good couple blows. He was bleeding a bit but he still kept fighting. The fear of the people in this land were what drove him and he was determined to use that to keep going. However, a manhunter snuck up behind him and struck him with his baton, sending him crashing to the ground. Arising from the rubble, Aaron looked up and saw the others fighting them off. A smile forming on his face, regardless of blood loss.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole saw Aaron getting attacked and landed in front of him as his whole body began to glow and crackle with purple energy, before a shockwave pulsed from him and passed through several dozens of manhunters around them. As the shockwave passed through them they shook before exploding into pieces. (-1)(6) "Replicated an electromagnetic pulse..." He explained with a smile, before turning to Aaron and pointing his ring at him. "Here, let me help you with those injuries." He said, as purple energy covered Aaron and healed most of his major wounds. (-1)(5) as he finished he looked up at the battle that was taking place "ready to finish this and save our home?" He asked, ready to continue fighting

[Mr. Critical 434]

@,

"My friend. This is only the first battle."
Aaron felt most of his wounds heal. He staggered and stood before the significantly smaller swarm. He was ready to end this.

"_{Fear... me...}"

Aaron looked up to the small crowd and a small yellow glow was seen through his darkened glasses. Lifting his ring hand, he pointed it to the manhunters.

"FEAR ME!"

(4)Aaron sent a massive surge of energy to his last construct, forming a terrifying yellow dragon. It soared through the skies, ripping the manhunters away as if they were play things. He was sick of looking at them and just wanted to have peace once more.

sole smirked as he watched his friend continue his onslaught "not if we beat them all." He said, concentrating on making a construct to match the power and flashiness of Aaron. "Try this on for size!" He said, creating a giant demon the size of a small mountain. The beast construct crushed all of the enemies in its path, but merely phased through anyone who sole considered an ally. (-1)(4) "I love this ring..." He muttered

[Mr. Critical 434]

@, @@Kulstor, @, @,

(Event)

The lanterns fought valiantly this day. The swarm of manhunters were destroyed in a matter of hours. The ground was riddled with their parts. Scattered to every square inch of the makeshift battle field. However, little did they know, that the Grand Master was watching this play out. A small portion of his army destroyed by inferior, emotion feeling organics. It will not stand for this. It ordered its ship be taken to this puny planet. These creatures want a fight, then they are going to get one.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole dispersed his constructs and looked around the battlefield, which was filled with hundreds of thousands of manhunters pieces and parts. It was the most beautiful thing he'd seen all day. They've done it, they've finally freed equestria from these compassionless and cruel bastards. "We've won..." He said, before dropping to the ground exhausted. As he looked up at the sky he grinned, his first truly happy smile in months. "Equestria is free!" He called out happily. He knew that likely wasn't all of them, but he was happy knowing they've won a good victory, as small as it may be.

"No. There are... still more on the planet. We have merely taken... a small portion of their ranks. we need to... take out their source. That is... the only chance... our home has."
Aaron was panting, trying to catch his breath. He needed to recharge. He began to sense for his power battery and luckily it was close by.

"WE must regroup and recharge our power if we are to over come this threat. Are you willing to unite to free our home?"

[~Sole~ 852]

sole lay there a few moments, catching his breath, before giving Aaron a thumbs up. "Of course. To hell and back if need be. As long as it means saving everyone that these bastards have hurt and oppressed." He said, before standing shakily and planting his staff into the ground. "Just give me a sec to recharge my ring, then we can go." He said, before looking around at the others. "You guys in too?" He asked

[Mr. Critical 434]

Aaron left the group to go and look for his battery, shining his light on in the town in search of his power battery. After a few minutes, he had found it under a house. He lifted the wall to find his yellow power battery with out a single scratch.\

"Huh, what ever this thing is made of, I will never know."

He placed the ring hand on the battery and recited the oath. Upon completion, his eyes flashed yellow along with the ring itself. He felt the rings power course through him. He felt like his new 100%. He flew off to rejoin the group, carrying the battery with him.

[OG Blaze 269]

Optyx had started and finished recharging his ring before the battle had ended. Optyx flew up to the other Lanterns to see who they were. They couldn't possibly all be pony's that would be unlikely. Optyx flew up to the other lanterns and to his utmost surprise they were all pony's except for one who was a gryphon. Strange, but it wouldn't faze Optyx.

sole looked at the new lantern as he flew over "so there's such a thing as a blue lantern too? Cool. What's your name?" He asked, as he finished recharging his ring and putting his staff away. They might possibly be in mortal danger still, but he was really curious about these other colored lanterns too.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Aaron saw the new pony land. A blue lantern this time. From what he's seen, he was starting to develop ideas on what is going on. The human landed next to them to greet them.

"Well, I guess a proper introduction is in order. I am Aaron of the Sinestro Corps. May I know the names of my comrades for aiding in this assult."

[OG Blaze 269]

"Optyx" Optyx replied, he wanted to keep things short with new people and people in general. Optyx created a worm hole leading to the Blue Lantern Corps, Odym. Optyx started flying to it, but before he entered the portal he turns around, "Thanks for the help" and entered his portal and closed it behind him.

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Hm, nice guy. So, I guess we rebuild this part of Equestria first. Then we go our separate ways until then. But, its good knowing I have a friend in the same position as I."
Aaron held his hand out to shake the claw of the indigo Gryphon. Hopefully he agrees with him. His history with gryphons are flimsy at best.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole watched as the supposed new friend left in a portal to wherever his lantern corp was. "Optyx huh..." He thought, as Aaron held his hand out. He wasn't usually one to shake hands, he hated being formal, but this time he'd make an exception. After shaking his hand sole got a good look at his ring "so your apart of something called sinestro corps. huh? I'm guessing it has something to do with yellow." He said jokingly "names sole by the way, if i forgot to tell ya." He said

[Mr. Critical 434]

"Yes actually. Our rings are powered by fear itself. The other members... I won't lie, they terrify me."

Aaron looked to the yellow ring in wonder. He began to focus his rings power and brought forth a small team of bipedal constructs(12). Thee team of 8 looked like yellow glowing mannequins. Moving about a bit and twitching, awaiting orders.

"Alright, you lot. I need this town rebuilt. Get the place cleaned and fixed."

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole listened to his explanation and watched as he created the substitute workers to rebuild the town. "So... You guys operate on the emotion of fear? That sounds pretty morbid. Me and the indigo tribe, or a 'corp.' if you prefer, operate on the emotion of compassion. And I'm not scared of any indigo tribe member, honestly they're actually kinda funny looking." He said with a smirk, before lifting his ring and focusing. After a moment he levitated all of the manhunter scraps and building debris out of the workers way and into a pile just outside of town. "There, that should help speed things up." He said with a nod

[Mr. Critical 434]

@, @, @,

With their combined efforts, the remaining lanterns on Equestria had used their abilities to bring the decimated town of ponyvill in a matter days. Using the bits of the manhunters and what supplies they could find, the town looked to be back to normal.  All in a span of a week and two days. But, the Grand master was drifting closer and closer to Equestria to face those that would oppose his programming. This manhunter was like none other, and will not go down as easily. The lanterns are about to get a fight of their life.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole looked out over the town with a smile, he was overjoyed to see his old home as close to normal as possible. Heck, even most of the citizens came back. And ironically many of them didn't even bat an eyelash at him and his ring powers. They were use to the strange and magical, so he supposed a power ring wasn't that hard to believe. "Can't believe it's only been a little over a week... I'm glad we were able to get this done so quickly." He said with a grin
