Episode fanfic title: Let's get back together!

///////////////////////000///////////////////////

(Cassandra's POV): Night...

We packed all our belongings and returned to Oa around 8 pm with my Uncle Hal. He was happy that Kilowog would train them and relieved that his brother wasn't angry but respected their decision. After arriving, he asked Salaak to show us to our shared quarters, where we would stay for a while. Now that my Uncle had become an Honor Guard of the Green Lanterns, he would be assigned to investigate the Manhunters and talk to them tomorrow morning.

In the dorms where we'll be sleeping, we thanked and bid goodnight to Salaak & my Uncle, leaving us to spend some time getting acquainted in our shared quarters: 

I was speechless as Kia exclaimed excitedly before squealing, "Oh my God! This is amazing! Look at the decor and the window, Cassie!" She called me over, "Check out the view; it's better than looking at the city!" I replied, "Yeah, but it would be perfect if there was an ocean to feel the refreshing saltwater breeze." I used my blue power ring to create a holographic ironer for our clothes and neatly packed everything in our luggage. Kia was doing the same.

We were in a hurry because, one, we didn't have time to iron our clean and unused clothes since flying to space was a significant thing for us and two, it was the opportunity for us to learn more about Oa's darkest secrets, fighting techniques, and even more. As we continued discussing what Kilowog's training would be like, we discovered some fun facts about it and ended the discussion by changing the subject.

"So~ now that we're in space together for training, Cassie," Kia begins. "Do you Want to have a girl's night while everyone is OKleep?" 

I laughed and agreed, "OK, but not for long. We got training in the morning, which means waking up early." 

"True, but!~~~ Let's change and party together with some champagne!" 

It turns out that Kia brought alcoholic drinks for them, which meant getting drunk, so I immediately grabbed it before taking out two fresh plastic cups and began partying with her: *Click the music*

"Fuck the galaxy! Let's party!!!!" I yelled. 

We started feeling so drunk that I was assigned, in my drunken state, to soundproof the room with my computer so we would not get caught partying or singing horribly during our first night in Oa. Giggling like crazy girls who love hacking and pranking, we messed around with the Oa system non-stop until we heard other GLs looking for the source, but we made sure to clean up everything and fake ourselves to sleep, to which the Guardians fell for and secretly left us alone to sleep.

We laughed under our blankets and continued to dance the night away again, singing "This Is the Moment," "We Found Love," and many more songs as we deepened our friendship bond more than ever before because of how long it had been since we hung out and did this. Now that we talked about my parents finally accepting us as friends, we dreamed and hoped for the future. Kia opened up about her family and how they'll support her decision to be trained to become a Green Lantern, but she was determined to prove to them that she would make it to the big leads as soon as possible.

Before she drunkenly asked me about my first space adventures, I shared them in full detail about Atrocitus and Appa being enemies and stupid ego-minded aliens I ever encountered, and I also included the fact that Ganthet chose me because of a prophecy of me being given a chance to protect the galaxy with hope. And, of course, Kia excitedly began acting as one of the memes, saying, " 'The prophecy is true.' " (Anyone know that meme?)

Which made me laugh a lot as it gave me a sense of purpose and belonging that I had never felt before. We always talked about our determination to become the best Lanterns we could be. As the night went on, we opened up more and more, letting go of our inhibitions and allowing ourselves to be in the moment. The alcohol had loosened us up, but it also allowed us to be more vulnerable with each other. 

At one point, Kia grabbed my hand and looked at me with intensity in her eyes. "Cassie, I'm so glad you're my partner and best friend. I know we never had a serious conversation before, but we've known each other for lifetimes. I trust you and know you'll always have my back."

I was touched by her slurred words and squeezed her hand back. "Kia, I feel the same way. I couldn't ask for a better partner than you. We'll get through this training together and become stronger on the other side." We stayed up until it was around 2 am and eventually passed out from exhaustion and the effects of the alcohol.

The next day...At the training room of Oa.

"Was that a construct, or did your ring backfire? You're training to be Green Lanterns, not members of the Guardian Council choir! I've seen a hundred-year-old queezilbug with broken legs climb that obstacle faster than your posers!" Kilowog bellowed while Kia and I fought without holding back. We were secretly doing it to get the alcohol out of our system, and what better way to shake it off than by training?

"Sir, yes, sir!" We all shouted back as we continued to use our power rings to attack her, and she fought back with equal intensity.

Despite our efforts, Kilowog was getting annoyed. But as I glanced up and continued to train, I could see that he was also proud of our punctuality. "Now, look at these two!" I swung my construction of a baseball bat back and forth and hit Kia, sending her flying into the air. But she managed to smirk her way back to me and tackled me into a wrestling match just as an unexpected visitor arrived to interrupt our training.

"I forgot how precious you are in your natural habitat," a familiar voice said. I turned around, blocking Kia's attack with my ring, and smiled at my Uncle. "Uncle, did you come to see--OOF!" Kia punched me away and groaned before she handed me her hand to help me up. "Te gané."

"Of course you did." I rolled my eyes as we flew up towards Kilowog and my Uncle, who ruffled my hair as I whined to him to stop it: "Hey, Cassie and Kia! How's Kilowog treating you both?" 

"Great! We've been learning new things after I got defeated by my best friend." I glared at Kia, who shrugged, joyfully making Kilowog pat her back: "Well played, Kia. Keep it up, and you'll be as good as me. As for you, Cass, you did well but need more focus!" He instructed. I sweatdropped when my Uncle chuckled and allowed his best friend to continue, "Also, I thought you were on Honor Guard duty." 

My Uncle nodded and replied, "I am, but I have received orders to reunite the band. Are you both interested?" 

Kia and I both exclaimed, "We're so in! When do we leave?" 

However, Kilowog had to dampen our excitement by saying, "After you dragged me to frontier space, I was left to fight the Red Lantern invasion alone. As thrilling as it was, I'll pass this time. And these girls won't be coming either; they have some training."

"What? This is a shot at real action." He tried convincing him, and we both nodded in agreement. However, nothing went exactly as we wanted: "I'm happy here." Kilowog continues, "Molding, guiding, and nurturing young recruits so they realize their potential. In a way, they're like my children." 

"Aw~ Kilowog is a softie!" We awed at him teasingly, and he glared at us; we immediately shut up and giggled quietly: "You useless, stumbling piece of stinkin' oonsplat! You go over, not under! Do it again!" 

As we watched Kilowog shout commands, we couldn't help but cringe. We were fortunate that we had come up here to chat and not to exercise more. Otherwise, we would have passed out in a matter of seconds.... We're glad that he hasn't smelled the alcohol in us: "Where's the challenge here? How about a little wager?" 

My Uncle crossed his arms with a grin that I recognized all too well and said: "I'll take on your best recruit, and if I beat him, you have to come with me." 

"And if he beats you?" Kia chimed in, and my Uncle scoffed at her question, "Like that's going to happen." 

"Um... Uncle, you better remember that if you get beaten up," I continued, "I won't hesitate to laugh, right?" 

He shook his head and chuckled shortly after Kilowog commanded, "Sector recruit 1014!" 

We all looked confused until we noticed a cute squirrel dressed in a Green Lantern suit, which left us with different reactions: "Now, remember, just like I taught you." 

We all looked confused until, all of a sudden, it attacked and beat the living hell out of my Uncle. I immediately took out my phone and recorded the entire thing. Finally, he yielded for the squirrel to stop, which it did, and left. "OK. I think he's had enough." 

"How did that happen?" That was the first thing my Uncle asked as he grunted until he noticed that I had been recording him this entire time, "Did you just record me?" 

"Yup! And it's alright getting viral, with the help of Kia, of course!" I smirked, making him sigh in humiliation while Kia gave the squirrel a high five for being the number one student: "OK. I'll get my gear and meet you on the Interceptor." Kilowog walked away, leaving my Uncle in disbelief at the sudden change. "But I lost the bet?" 

"I was going to go with you anyway." He smirks at my Uncle and chuckles again: "I just wanted to see you fight the squirrel. Ahh, loser."

After leaving the training area, I informed my Uncle and Kilowog that Kia and I would retrieve our luggage and rendezvous with them at the Interceptor. They acknowledged and departed while we flew to our destination quickly. Time skipped, and we both floated towards the Interceptor to put our bags in the shared room where Kia and I used to sleep, but now, it had separate beds: "This used to be where Razer and I shared our room here." 

"Oh~ I know, you got a little cozy~ here with him, huh?" Kia teased, and I furiously blushed before sighing in defeat. 

We unpacked everything and headed to the main hangar to hear my Uncle calling for Aya to turn on the Interceptor: "Hey, Aya!" "We're back, girl!" Kia excitedly raised her arms as I felt off about the Interceptor, as if something had told me that Aya wasn't here. The moment my Uncle called out again, "Let's get going. Did you miss us?" I figured it would be wise not to say anything, but I did it anyway, "Aya, it's me. Cassandra. Hello?" 

Then I get startled by the unknown robotic voice from the  Aya that is no longer installed on this vessel: "I am Lanos, the lightspeed astronomical navigation operating system." "Lanos?" Kilowog and Kia sync by feeling weirded out, "More like Lameo." I said when suddenly 'Lanos' began operating the Interceptor, causing us all to float and hit the ceiling with grunts and groans of pain. Luckily, I used my ring to make a bubble construct to land back down safely:

"SHUT THAT THING OFF BEFORE IT HITS SOMEONE!" Kilowog yells angrily. "Guardian spacecraft regulations require me to be operational at all times," Lanos coolly explains. Kia and I make our way towards the controls to find a way to stop the Interceptor from going haywire: "Very smooth, Lameo." "You have a real light touch," I sarcastically commented, "And some stupid way of expressing it." Kia agreed. We were driving back and forth and up and down from the cause of Lanos making a faster route to turn around that I felt sick to my stomach.

Kia yells, "We've got to find Aya!" 

"Aya is no longer installed on this vessel. I am Lanos, the lightspeed-." 

We both shouted with my Uncle, "We understood that the first time. Find Aya, now!" Finally, it obeyed our orders, accessing the systems to display a screen showing Aya in a laboratory where she seemed to be a test subject: "What the hell are they doing to Aya?" "My exact thoughts..." My expression turned pale as I observed Aya's condition; cables were attached to her headgear, arms, and legs while she remained unconscious.

It scared me. Seeing someone unique like Aya as your best friend in that position was something I never thought the Guardians could do; they do great things, but this just made me glad that I didn't become a Green Lantern: "Hey! What are they doing to her?" Kilowog exclaimed. Lanos explained, "Research subject Aya is scheduled for dissection in 2.3 hours." Anger boils in our blood, and I angrily twitched an eyebrow by glaring fully at the AI and unconsciously meditated out of my anger with the blue ring.

"I'm cooling off. Make sure to take out that 'it' Lanos from the controls." I spoke calmly, as I was the only one not moving around like a rag doll, leaving eveOKe confused and ignoring it, "OK!" My Uncle began typing down every button to prevent the AI from hurting us all and noticed what it was doing in confusion, "What are you doing?" "Maneuvering as you requested." I could hear the grunts and groans coming from them while I floated still without care and felt the silence elope me. 

My angered self began to destroy everything in my mind. I shoved it away into an imaginary jar and stored it inside my heart, as it felt like forever to wake up. Opening my masked eyes, the AI welcomed me, saying, "Hal Jordan, accessing my data core will result in my disconnection. I advise that you stop." 

After removing the AI drive from the system, we felt relieved and happy that we wouldn't have to hear Lanos's lame voice again. Standing beside Kia, I assured her I was OK after explaining what I had done. She looked at me with a soft, understanding expression. Our Uncle then asked if we both had our computers. We exchanged a happy grin and nodded, returning to our usual routine.

The scene shifts to Kilowog bellowing orders to the worm GL to demonstrate every formula he can summon, evoking a brief moment of pity. Meanwhile, my Uncle grasped a cluster of white metal suitcases to execute the plan. Simultaneously, we linked our laptops to the lab's power supply after gliding in noiselessly while Kia gathered all her wires and computers for the assignment.

Everything was set, and we both began making progress in freeing Aya: "Don't worry, Aya." My Uncle starts and turns to us, "Will get you out...Now Cassie, Kia. I want you both to unlock the codes to free her from her body, and Ch'p will bring her AI drive to us. We gotta ensure she doesn't fall into the wrong hands while the camOK are rolling, understood?" 

"OK, Uncle." I nodded and moved my laptop with Kia's behind the desk so we wouldn't be seen. Kia took out a bubblegum to eat out her nervousness, which she offered me. I accepted it and ate while we silently began hacking the battery systems to the CCTV cameras from noticing our presence: "Initiating the codes, Mr. Jordan. In a couple of seconds, the cameras will be invisible." 

Kia whispers, and my Uncle pats her shoulder with confidence so that she can continue as he did for me. We both smile by letting Ch'p out of the small white metal luggage. I missed the adrenaline of hacking; doing it with Kia again brought back memories as we both continued to hack and finish it. 

We were caught (Well, only my Uncle was caught), and Kia and I froze before using our power rings to scoot and stealth away from being seen from behind the desk. We both pressed the button "ENTER" to make us invisible in the cameras as we quietly laughed at how my Uncle calls himself Green Lantern Sir Jets-a-lot.

How I doubt he existed. I continued hacking with Kia as a distraction from laughing our asses at how this was never going to be the end of the joke between us; Anyways, we both were amused and wiggling our eyebrows at how much more fun this way than doing it on Earth: "I've always wondered how you humans keep your facets so shiny?" 

'What kind of question is that?' I also found myself curious about Chaselon, who I think Kia and I would have been friends with if we hadn't been doing a hacking mission in his lab.

"You think? Mom always said I was the dullest." Chaselon sounded sad, to which I noticed Kia left her position, and the moment I turned to find her hugging him, "You aren't the dullest, dude." She lets out his startled, crystalized self and tells him, "Say, do you think you can explain your structure because I am interested in it." 

Chaselon seemed so happy that he explained in full detail that my Uncle felt bored. At the same time, Kia focused on every detail of how amazing his species do about it. For a MasterGrid, she always wanted to ask questions about other alien species' backstories; Kia is a therapist for all the alien refugees back on Earth, So she's good at these types of stuff: "So, really, as a condition of my crystallized structure, I remain dirt-free." 

"So, are a few other Green Lanterns interested in it?" He sighed, "Yeah, only a few. Also, I forgot to ask for your name?" "It's Kia. I just started training myself as a GL." Kia excitedly tells him. As my Uncle and I were surprised that she was the only person interested in his species, I secretly typed down everything about it while doing my other hacking mission and smiled: "She's right. Their loss." My Uncle chimed in. "Tell me more! Pretty please!" 

This surprised Chaselon at Kia's keen interest, who then noticed my Uncle was trying to stop the squirrel (I forgot to mention him TuT) from entering the tube since one of the metals contained entering it; I instantly panicked but calmed down to figure out a plan: "Is there something wrong with your limb?" I snapped out of my trance of interest. 

I started packing up our things to leave with Aya while the squirrel tried to escape from the tube but got hurt when Chaselon's battery was removed. "Huh? Oh, this? I have Lantern elbow from overcharging my ring too many times." My Uncle lied, and I glanced at him with a knowing look, "Does your species have any problem with that?" Kia asked, "No. My arms are non-organic. I do, however, get silica mites." He responded.

I was amazed at how calm I was despite Kia being a master of acting. She is known as the MasterGrid, while I, as the GhostHacker, dread things I wish were inaccurate: "Fascinating! They're like metal gigabytes that malfunction your systems?" Kia quickly asked. Indeed, that is correct!" Chaselon happily said, "Perhaps we could consume refreshments together and discuss our adventures. I have so few friends."

"Sounds great, buddy." 

"Maybe next week? Right now, I have loads of couplings to check." Everything was done, and we finally got Aya's AI drive, thanks to the squirrel, leaving quietly without a sound: "Good talk." We waved goodbye and left before not noticing me with all of the computers and wires that Kia and I had brought after leaving the Interceptor.

Time skip after entering space with the Interceptor...

"Thank you for coming to my assistance, Hal Jordan." Aya starts, making Kia and I observe my Uncle's comically overprotective behavior, as he does sound like a figure to her. "Aya, are you OK?" "I am operating at full capacity," she responds, "all thanks to you." Kia quickly chimes in: "It's a relief that we rescued you in time. We would all have been lost."

I nod in agreement: "Yeah, if we didn't come sooner, none of this would have happened." "Nice to have you back, Aya." We all turn to Kilowog, who continues, "That 'Lameo' was starting to get on my nerves." We then turned back to Aya again, hearing my Uncle explain that we didn't bring her body, and she didn't respond for a few seconds before asking: "Where's Razer?"

"He's...on sabbatical. I'm sure he'll turn up, eventually." He tells her, making Aya look down in disappointment. 

Tomar-Re informed him, "I was at the science branch researching your theory about various communication signals." I watched in interest while fully being serious about how it changes everything about the Guardians, only to snap out of it while hearing Kia come in by analyzing the controls and typing down the exact meaning behind his words: "So we're discovering a low-anti-matter pulse, sounds unanimous right?" Tomar-Re nods in confirmation, making me step in to join in: 

"I mean, it's almost undetectable." I spoke up and gasped, "Maybe that's why it's been activating the Manhunters right now!" "I knew it, but hold on. And you asked the Guardians if you could check this out. 

"Well, no." Tomar-Re looked away and fixed his composure by saying: "But sometimes, Hal Jordan, it is better to apologize later than to ask permission first." Kia and I glance at each other with sly smirks before floating next to him, "Huh? I guess my Uncle rubbed it on you?" "Oh, Tomar did." Kia winked at Tomar-Re, who blushed at her wink, which made Kilowog cough loudly for us to stop it, and we obeyed a bit.

My Uncle grins, "You don't say." "Triangulating the signal of known Manhunter temples, I located its source, the planet Biot." The six of us rushed to the planet Biot, where the signal had come from, by exiting the ship and flying around the junkyard.

"I don't like the look of this place," Kilowog said.

"Some sort of incredible junkyard," I remarked. Kia nodded in agreement, adding, "It reminds me of when I first met you, remember?" "You're not wrong there; I was like, what? 16-." Our conversation was interrupted by my Uncle scolding us to concentrate, prompting us to roll our eyes in annoyance and mutter, "Focus, girls." "Worse, we've stumbled into the Manhunter graveyard."

Tomar-Re suddenly halted our journey, cautioning us, "Hold on. I have detected a faint anti-matter transmigrant, and I materialized my blue ring to search for evidence. However, the manhunters ambushed us. I quickly took down one with my holographic spiral loop string aimed at its central chassis. 

My Uncle and the rest of our group got ready to battle. "Now, the excitement begins." We all started attacking any group of Manhunters.

"——ŇØ ΜΔŇ €ŞĆΔƤ€Ş ŦĦ€ ΜΔŇĦỮŇŦ€ŘŞ.

ŇØ ΜΔŇ €ŞĆΔƤ€Ş ŦĦ€ ΜΔŇĦỮŇŦ€ŘŞ.

ŇØ ΜΔŇ €ŞĆΔƤ€Ş ŦĦ€ ΜΔŇĦỮŇŦ€ŘŞ.

ŇØ ΜΔŇ €ŞĆΔƤ€Ş ŦĦ€ ΜΔŇĦỮŇŦ€ŘŞ.——"

Everyone turned to me as I destroyed it directly on the helm with my holographic gun, making me grin: "What were you saying?" My Uncle joked, causing Kia and I to snort. "Let's create some personal space!" That's when we see Tomar-Re using his fighting techniques with his ring, leaving me in awe, "He needs to give me some pointers." "You still got it, Tomar-Re." I heard Kilowog compliment him, causing me to laugh heartedly when I was suddenly shot down by a manhunter, "AGH!" 

"Cassie!" Kia flew towards me not before finishing off the manhunters behind her, and I crashed myself into a pile of pipes and metal crowbars. Not long I got hit in the head by an unknown source, and everything caused me to go unconscious. 

(Hal Jordan's POV):

Upon hearing Kia's cry, I sensed trouble. Hastening to the site, chaos greeted me. Kia struggled against assailants, shielding the unconscious Cassie amidst the debris. Anger surged within me, but I restrained it, allowing her to evacuate. Tomar-Re and Kilowog battled on, yet tensions rose. It was clear I needed to intervene and assume command. 

With a determined look, I tried to find anything to hide from the manhunters, only to spot it by getting an idea and pointing at the building from afar, "That building." I continue, "Get there and set up a perimeter." "On the move. Jordan, cover our rear!" Kilowog ordered, doing as told; I covered our backs with my ring while Kia swooped down and lifted Cassie's unconscious body as we all flew and sought shelter in a stronghold, only to realize it was a facility where Manhunters were manufactured.

"ŇØ ΜΔŇ €ŞĆΔƤ€Ş ŦĦ€ ΜΔŇĦỮŇŦ——"

No one spoke until Kia remarked, "Well, that escalated quickly," earning a nod of agreement from the rest of us. Before she kneeled to place Cassie near a pillar, I checked her pulse and grew relieved that Tomar-Re had already scanned Cassie for any injuries; he concluded, "Cassandra has a mild concussion, but she will be fine. For now." 

"At least I know now that your holographic scan works like a charm," Kia teasingly added a wink at Tomar-Re, who cleared his throat from blushing, which I knew that her bold move was meant as a defense mechanism to hide her worry from me and the rest. 

I first encountered her thanks to Cassie, who gave me insight into her circumstances. If the roles were reversed and she was the one rendered unconscious, she would undoubtedly step up to defend herself. Their friendship or sisterly connection is rock-solid, and I have complete faith in her capabilities to tackle any obstacle that comes their way. "What is this place?" Kilowog asked.

"It's some bunker, much like Tomar-Re and I found in our sectors," I said, describing Tomar-Re's secret assignment and our activities on the recent planet. "But it's bigger. Kia, could you place a protection barrier around Cassie?" Kia agreed; once completed, we all floated together as Tomar-Re indicated, "According to these measurements, I can identify the origin of the anti-matter pulse over there."

Pointing at a factory for the rest to see, Kia widened her eyes, we all hid behind a wall to take a sneak peek at what we saw, and the first thing she did was whistled out: "Damn, there's a lot of factories in every sector you go to, huh?" "Yup, which explains where those extra Manhunters came from when we were on patrol," I whispered, narrowing before I widened my eyes and continued to watch how the manhunters are created:

"This is way worse than we thought." Kia nodded and adjusted her green glasses, "I agree. It would be best to abort the mission before we all get spotted by anyone else at the factory. Also, my best friend requires immediate assistance for her mild concussion." "Yes," replied Tomar-Re as he powered down his scanner. "The facility activaanti-matter-matter pulsantimattertanti-matterimatter."

As soon as those words came out from him, a manhunter spotted us, and we immediately attacked them in defense, "Kia! Get Cassie out of here!" "I will once I help you out!" She stubbornly spoke as more manhunter robots engaged in combat, but we fought fiercely, resolved to protect Cassie. Once the dust settled, we tried to seize Cassie swiftly, but she was nowhere in sight. 

I started to panic slightly, concerned about her whereabouts or whether the manhunters had apprehended her until a familiar blue beam swiftly incapacitated the manhunters. Looking around, we were greeted by Cassie hovering above the ground, radiating a brighter, healthier, and more robust aura than before: "Need a hand, Uncle?" 

My mouth dropped to the ground in shock that my niece is a blue lantern which comes with healing abilities, 'Damn, now I feel jealous.' I snapped out of my thoughts by continuing the fight: "Cassie, en qué—!" She cuts Kia off, "Blue lanterns have healing abilities, which is handy, but right now! We got company!" We made our way out, fully committed to ensuring her safety.

"Uh-oh. Aya, we have to abort the mission." I ordered. 

"Target our location with the "Interceptor's" weapons array." Aya comlinked, "Targeting. Weapons will be online in approximately 10 seconds." Cassie utilized her power ring to give our rings a significant boost. However, the manhunters were rapidly closing in. During the intense battle, Kia and Cassie fearlessly fought off the enemy with us as a deafening explosion rocked the area. 

The ceiling began to crumble around us, but we quickly harnessed the power of our rings to create a protective bubble, shielding us from harm, "Green Lantern Hal, what is your status? Sergeant Kilowog? Kia? Cassandra? Tomar-Re?" (I skipped some dialogues bc someone wanted me to update right away! *anime tired and groggy*)

"We're safe, Aya!" Both girls shout cheerfully; not long after, Cassie gets punched in the shoulder by Kia, who exclaims in disbelief: "Omg, that was so much adrenaline over there! And why didn't you tell me about your power ring having the FREAKING 'healing ability' shit?" 

She sweatdropped a little, and my niece tried calming her down by explaining the entire story but was cut short by my complimenting, "Nice shooting." "Odd. I'm still detecting an—" Tomar-Re got interrupted by the loud rumbling sound, coming from the destroyed factory, as the Anti-Monitor unearthed himself to the Lanterns, leading us to confront it:

"ΔŁØŇ€. Ɨ ĦΔV€ ĆØŇΩỮ€Ř€Đ ΔŇ €ŇŦƗŘ€ ỮŇƗV€ŘŞ€ ΔŇР؀ĐỮƀРŦŘƗŁŁƗØŇŞ Ø₣ ΔŇŦƗ-ΜΔŦŦ€Ř β¥ ØŇ€. βỮŦ ŞŦƗŁŁ, Ɨ ĦỮŇǤ€Ř...ŦĦ€Ş€ ₣ΔĆŦØŘƗ€Ş ΔŘ€ ŞĆΔŦŦ€Ř€Đ ŦØ ŦĦ€ ₣ΔŘ Ř€ǤƗØŇŞ Ø₣ ¥ØỮŘ ŞƤΔĆ€."

I commanded Aya to repeat the previous attack, but it had little effect on the Anti-Monitor. As the Anti-Monitor unleashed a massive beam attack, we all began to fly away to retreat. "Move, Aya, now!" I yelled. "No!" Kia and Cassie yelled at the same time as Tomar-Re pulled Kilowog back, shouting, "Get out of there, Uncle Hal!" I withstood the attack, shielding the others, and urged them to escape the world, causing everything around me to turn dark.

To be continued...
