(M'Ten) 'Alien damaged ship, can you hear me in there?'
There's no cause for alarm.
I am M'Ten of the Green Lantern Corps.
[fires laser]
[grunts]
Looks like I'm just gonna have to cut you out, friend.
[crackling]
(male #1) 'Wrong.'
Aah!
[panting]
I am not a friend.
I am rage.
I am vengeance.
I am death!
[grunts]
[explosion]
[music continues]
pew
smash
zoop
Aah!
What are you doing, Zox?
Don't like it?
Feel free to complain to Atrocitus.
Relax, young Razer.
Our Master's plan includes ample kills.
'Enough even for you.'
At this rate, our task will never end.
If we eliminate this one, his Power Ring will simply seek out
a replacement Green Lantern.
Then we get to kill that one too.
[crackling]
[M'Ten screaming]
whoosh
[instrumental music]
[laughing]
(Hal) 'Yes! Whoo!'
Let's keep the commentary to vehicle specific
shall we, Jordan?
I was, boss. That was me expressing
my professional opinion of the prototype's acceleration.
[engine roars]
Someone at the FAA is gonna read this transcript, Hal
so words might help.
(Hal) 'Of course, Carol. My apologies.'
Plane go fast. Very fast.
Plane good.
[rumbling]
[cup shattering] Ah!
Carol? Are you alright?
Yeah, we're getting one of our famous
Coast City rumblers.
You concentrate on flying that billion dollar jet!
[engine roars]
[rumbling]
Uh-oh.
[dramatic music]
Oh, boy.
whoosh
click
zoop
[clattering]
thud
[clanging]
whoosh
boom
Carol is not going to be happy.
(Carol) 'There was a man flying that plane'
'and no one in the wreck. Find him!'
Let's worry about liability later, shall we?
And concentrate on the fact that we have a downed pilot!
Sounds like you missed me.
Hal! Oh, thank..
I thought you were dead. Are you okay?
What happened?
I-I'm fine. I'm fine.
[sighs] When the shockwave from that shaker hit
it...locked my instruments. There was nothing I could do.
I had to...eject--
slap
That bridge came down an hour ago
and you let me think you were dead all this time?
Uh, well, I landed in the desert
I had to hike to the freeway.
And you didn't have your cell?
I did, but I always forget
to charge that thing.
Of course you do. Typical.
So...you were worried about me?
You? You're replaceable.
That was a billion dollar fighter jet.
I'm sorry about what happened to the plane, Carol.
But you weren't the only one who was worried.
When I saw how big that quake was
well...I may be replaceable..
...but you're not.
Hal..
...I've told you a dozen times
why this will never work.
Tell me again..
...over dinner.
[gasps] Not now. No!
What is it?
Eh, it's-it's the hard drive.
I-I left it in the wreckage.
I-if one of your competitors got a hold
of the operating system..
Go get the drive.
I'll pick you up after work.
I promise!
whoosh
[instrumental music]
Mind if I ask what this is all about?
(male #2) 'Green Lantern of sector 2814'
'report immediately to Oa.'
'Priority one.'
whoosh
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Oa.
beep
Hal Jordan of Earth.
Salaak, of...some planet
whose name escapes me at the moment.
And Kilowog! Hey, buddy.
Uh...what's goin' on?
You'll find out soon enough, Jordan.
Just keep it professional.
And definitely don't go lookin' for me
'to bail you out this time.'
Did I...leave the toilet seat up or somethin'?
[dramatic music]
[whirring]
Hal Jordan of Earth, Green Lantern of Sector 2814.
'The viceroy of Demrakk 7 claims that when we assigned you'
'to police crucial peace negotiations'
'you punched him in the face.'
- Is this true? - Uh, er, no, sir.
I punched the viceroy in the stomach.
Then I head-butted him in the face...sir.
The viceroy was a serious dirt-bag
using diplomatic immunity to cover-up
his slave trafficking ring.
The council should note that Hal Jordan's claims
have since been proven true by Demrakk's authorities.
That is not the point.
This Lantern clearly seems to revel
'in exceeding his authority, ignoring our orders'
'and making his own..'
[dramatic music]
[ring clinking]
Oh, no.
We can argue about my conduct later, but right now..
...somewhere out there, there's a dead Green Lantern.
[instrumental music]
(Kilowog) 'Salaak, whose ring is this? '
[beeping and whirring]
(Salaak) 'Green Lantern M'Ten.'
Never seen this guy before in my life.
Salaak, display guardian space.
[beeping and whirring]
'There are 3600 sectors in Guardian Space.'
'For millennia, we have dispatched our Power Rings'
'to choose a worthy protector of each sector.'
'You are Green Lantern Corps.'
This part we know..
Display home world of Frontier Lantern M'Ten.
Frontier Lantern?
(Sayd) 'This is the guardian frontier.'
'the very edge of our territory.'
(Ganthet) 'We have seeded Lanterns there'
'but they are few and far between.'
'The vast distance makes contact with the Frontier Lanterns..'
...sporadic, at best.
Then who trains them?
They receive limited instruction
from their rings. That is all.
What do these lights signify?
These are locations where operatives went offline.
Those Power Rings are currently in search of new hosts
or...en route back to Oa.
It means they're dead.
That is...unfortunate, but accurate.
And you just sit there, doing nothing?
You did not even see it fit to inform us
of these Lantern deaths?
There is nothing to be done right now.
Flying at top speed, you would not reach the frontier
for 18 months.
We are formulating a plan.
There are Lanterns dying out there!
We need to get out there
and stop whoever is targeting them, now!
Let me remind the Green Lantern of Earth
that the Guardians are not on trial here.
- He is! - Appa Ali Apsa.
It has been an eventful session.
Perhaps a period of refreshment is required.
Or as our Earthman would say...a coffee break.
[whirring]
Good call, Ganthet. Another minute
and I might've said somethin'--
Incredibly stupid?
Yeah, I think that ship sailed
a long time ago, Jordan.
Hey, this ain't the way to the commissary.
Indeed. I thought we might enjoy
taking a more scenic route.
[instrumental music]
(Hal) 'What is that?'
Oh, that? Nothing, really.
'An experimental prototype'
'powered by the green energy itself.'
Holy crud.
How fast?
(Ganthet) 'Well, the Interceptor is potentially the fastest ship'
'ever created by sentient life.'
(Kilowog) 'Potentially?'
(Ganthet) 'This prototype'
'is so sophisticated'
'and travels so fast'
that the nav-computer is an actual artificial intelligence.
Uh-uh, I know that look.
Jordan, this isn't one of your Earthen jet thingies.
Look, I'll take her up, I'll work the bugs out.
Then we'll fly her to the Frontier and we'll take care
of the Lantern killer.
I doubt that will come to pass.
It is much too risky.
And all Guardians must be in agreement.
Some will doubt the very existence
of this...Lantern killer.
Then why show us this?
I told you, my friends.
We're simply taking the scenic route.
[instrumental music]
[dramatic music]
Ah...a Green Lantern!
Thank gratz, I thought I would perish here!
Can you put your hands up so I can pull you out?
A little help would be appreciated.
pew pew pew
[snarling]
[bashes canopy]
Hah!

[shoots laser]
Aah!

Not so cocky, now, are you?

whoosh whoosh whoosh
[yelps]
Where is he?
We split up.
And this time, shoot sooner.
[wind howling]
[whirring]
Identify.
Ganthet of the Guardians.
Incorrect. Simulacrum detected.
'Contacting security.'
pew
thunk
[intense music]
Kind of figured you'd turn up here, hotshot.
Just your style.
You borrow the ship. Rush into danger.
Catch the killer.
Save the day. Big hero.
Well, you forgot "get the girl".
There's probably a girl somewhere in this.
Don't try to stop me, big guy.
Who's tryin' to stop you? I'm comin' with you.
Forget anything?
Okay. You can tag along.
I've been savin' your butt ever since boot camp.
No reason to stop now.
Whoa!
(Hal) 'Look at that.'
This thing's engine is a giant power battery.
[door opens]
Wow! She's beautiful.
- She? - She.
A ship is always "she".
I wonder how you fly this baby.
Please define term, "beautiful."
That must be the AI nav-computer.
Hello...Aya.
We're your new best friends
Hal and Kilowog.
We want to learn how to fly you.
AI does not spell "Aya", it spells "A-iee".
(Hal) 'But Aya's a pretty name.'
Pretty name for a pretty girl.
Don't you ever stop?
New designation accepted. Aya.
Aya, would you like to play a game?
What game?
This game is called "Joyride".
How does one play "Joyride"?
(Ganthet) 'I disagree. The Corps must be told'
'everything we know.'
We know nothing for certain.
'All we have is a theory.'
Look!
[intense music]
(Kilowog) Company's comin'.
[knocking]
Initiate ultra-warp, now!
(Aya) 'Ultra-warp protocols require'
at least 43 minutes to calculate.
Aya, listen to me. Kilowog and I
are Green Lanterns. We help people.
'Right now there's some other Green Lanterns in trouble'
'at the coordinates I gave you.'
(Aya) 'It is unsafe to bypass protocols.'
Green Lanterns risk their lives to save the lives of others.
Aya, please.
beep beep
[humming]
[rumbling]
whoosh
[grunting]
whoosh
Humph.
[intense music]
(Aya) 'Warning. Bypassing protocols'
'has resulted in unstable ultra-warp field.'
'Disintegration imminent.'
[siren blaring]
(Aya) 'Hull integrity at 7.75 percent.'
Aya, can you convert to manual controls?
Affirmative. However, manual control
a vehicle while in ultra-warp--
Do it!
[grunts]
[crash]
[Kilowog grunts]
How is this better?
If I can slow us down
I might be able to punch through
the ultra-warp conduit
without breaking her apart.
[scraping]
crash
[Kilowog yelps]
[crackling]
boom
whizz
[Kilowog groans]
Whoa.
Frontier space.
[instrumental music]
I wonder what the odds are for me makin' my dinner with Carol.
A billion light-years from home
and that's what you're thinkin'?
You must've really lost it for this girl.
Uh, no.
Attention! I am picking up telemetry
from a nearby Power Ring.
[beep] It's a GL!
And Hal, whoever he is, he's alive.
But not for long. He is in a fire fight.
'And losing.'
(Hal) 'Buckle up, people.'
This is now officially a rescue mission.
[whirring]
pew pew pew

[buzzing]
pew pew

Aah!
Not bad.
In fact, I'll graciously allow you
to make up for your earlier squeamishness.
You can strike the final blow, Razer.
Unless, of course, you are too weak?
[buzzing]
[intense music]

[yelling]
[Kilowog roars]
Argh.

[music continues]
Weaklings! Your feeble constructs
are crushed beneath the Red Lantern's might!
Red Lantern?
What the gnarks is a Red Lantern?
These guys, I'm guessin'.
Let's move!

[panting]
pew pew pew
Easy, we're the cavalry, here to rescue you.
boom
I'm running low. You have enough juice
to fly him back?
A big shot GL from Oa, huh?
Maybe I ought to be savin' you.
I'll draw their fire while you get the comedian
back to the Interceptor.
Yeah, I had a feelin' that was comin'.
What do you want written on your tombstone?
"Spent the rest of his long life
making sure his Ring was charged."

(Zox and Razer) Aah!
boom
[groaning]
- Aah.. - Easy, hotshot.
(Kilowog) 'Think you're pretty clever, charging your ring'
'off the engines like that, huh?'
I say you're lucky you didn't your arm off.
[Hal groans] It feels like I did. What about the other--
Don't worry about hard case over there.
He's gonna be a little sore..
...for the rest of his life.
Where are our friends, Ball and Chain?
Your fireworks display sent 'em on a little trip.
But I got a bad feelin' we'll be seein' them again soon.
But in the meantime, who knows.
Maybe we'll be back in time for your date
with Carol after all.
The dinner will have to wait.
We're here now, we fight them.
We stop them. Whatever it takes.
However long it takes.
[instrumental music]
'We stop them.'
