With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Needed data, not a power source.

Studying the creatures connection to the yellow light of fear is what was needed, in order to emulate it, rather then try to siphon directly off the firehose of fear that is Parallax.

The OG yellow ring that Sinestro needed the fear of that whole planet dying to get enough info, and get enough raw fear to forge the ring, no fear bug required. Hinon made the orange ring out of her own desires, no greed snake required. I'm sure there might be ways to make it more efficient to do so, as the Guardians have with the green light and rings, but they do have Ion on tap to aid with it.

This weaponeer seems more focused on results, rather then the spectical and faith side of her race, and as far as we know she didn't need the Butcher to make a Red ring on the Renegade side. She's got skills.

 

Probably "hyperdimensional"

 

Hey, omake challenge for this fic. What do you think Batman's files say about OL at this point? I mean the emergency 'How to defeat/stop/kill' ones. I forgot the name Batman actually call them.

 

Use magic to teleport rings to inaccessible location.

 

Alright.

 

Wonder if Harrold will still get a Yellow Ring and Lantern. Parallax showing up was down to him as it seemed to be ignoring the signal until it had a host.

 

If you can get around the spell-eaters and his tattoos? Yeah, Paul is hyper-focused on the artifacts that make him better than Just A Normal Human; that’d work. Then you just blow him up before he summons them back!

At least temporarily. His soul is the Ophidian’s heart; barring qwa-matter, he’d go to the Honden or a clone. Meaning Batman can even use lethal force!

I mean, he won’t, but he could. Safely!

 

Spell Eaters and Tattoo's only protect LePaul.

 

Presumably this merits some cleaning up?

 

Broken thingy

 

Oh my god Paul.

 

I will stand fast. Nothing can deter me in defense of my home. This will be the greatest challenge ev...!

Incoming message

"Bee tee doublewoops, Parallax got nommed, k thx by!"

 

He HAS been rather busy....cut the man some slack.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

I'm a little disappointed that Jade isn't going to be Malvolio's first recruit.

 

Having the will to use a green ring despite it not being your preferred weapon should make her more qualified than most

 

Wondering what that door technique is that Malvolio is using. Last we heard his ring still didn't have a functioning AI.

 

You may want to see a urologist for that.

 

Ha! Harrolds went through all this, and Volthoom's decided he's not up to snuff? That's got to sting some. Still, it's not like Jade should just keep it. She doesn't really need it.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

See, clearly part of Jade's training involved Obscured Body Language 101. naturally very important given the typical League of Shadows operations uniform.

Oh, is the ring going to give him the 'It's not you, it's me' speech?

Seriously, this really sounds like they were dating.

Got to wonder what Volthoom wants its power used for, then...

Hopefully one with some special security settings, I hope...

I, for one, wonder how much of the 'I am Entity Volthoom' is AI and how much is a trapped soul?

Fair's fair, after all. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

I mean, Jade did need weaponry more than she wanted tools...

On the other hand, a master of a Green Ring is quite the skilled Ring-Slinger.

No need to worry about them dissolving if you get distracted, for one thing.

...Seriously, so many origins for Crime Syndicate Power Rings.

...Huh. That was lucky. Or fate. Still, I expect he's extra dependent on OL's help right now...

...Now that would be an interesting conversation. But likely to see violence...

Oh, right, this was supposed to be a day off. OL and his busman's holidays.

...And there's also the matter of whether they'd allow him in.

...The opening moment of that visit is going to involve guns pointed at him, isn't it? Lots of guns?

Yeah, a little pampering will be good for her, I think.

...Why do I get the feeling that sense of responsibility is going to lead him to make a critical mistake?

I pity whoever gets that job.

Curiosity? Wistful thoughts of what could have been if they'd allowed him to serve? Who knows?

Sadly, Guardians don't really deal well with anything that isn't Will. Too much of it flowing in their veins.

There's probably a little embarrassment of having to think that way about his mother, too. You know, the whole 'oh god, my parents do the sex?' issue kids seems to find difficult to process...

...Man, imagine the face of the priest having to hear that confession...

He's got a lot to think about, I see.

Well, that was a pleasant farewell. On to the next.

Bet he feels a little blue-balled about testing himself against his fear back there...

...Careful, now. Don't want to get addicted to the rush. Just look at what happened to Dr Crane.

...Now what, OL? What could you possibly have forgotten?

Ah, right. This young Lantern.

Well, look at you, all determined to keep your home safe...

...Yeah, that's got to be a little frustrating.

Still, better to be a little frustrated at a lack of action, than having to stand against a primal Emotional Entity. That would not end well for any rookie Lantern. At any rate, OL finally reaching out to the enemy of Mannheim's backer. How will New Genesis respond, I wonder? At least we can hope that Izaya isn't the New 52 Era arsehole...

"I'll bear that in mind. I think I prefer normal weapons."

 

Welcome to the thing you should have done weeks ago.

 

Missing full stop.

 

What manner of papist heresy is that?

Thank you, corrected.

 

I think we were once shown an image of him, maybe when the renegade was attacked that showed him as being his pre-Flashpoint self.

 

Doesn't mean he's safe.

Gods and Monsters had him going Red Wedding, after all.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Who exactly was that Orange Lantern Paul forgot to inform?

 

Good point.

It was honestly one of the few instances where we saw why you shouldn't fuck with him.

That and the threat he issued Darkseid after Orion destroyed the Apokaliptian fleet.

Granted, I don't remember much about his appearances in the comics, so there may be more.

A recruit from the planet that the Reach ruled by threatening their eggs.

 

I think the only interaction we saw with Izaya was when Renegade negotiated the Forever People back to him.
