Queen of the Zamarons

"Roland seems to understand these bizarre lines of thought quite well," Wonder Woman said.

"Indeed." Green Lantern nodded. "After all, his thoughts are sometimes—"

"Alright, let's talk about your leadership of the Green Lantern Corps," Ganthet said.

"There's another question—why me?" Green Lantern asked.

"Now, raise your hand with the Ring at a 45-degree angle, retract the other fingers, and extend only your middle finger—turn around, then take two steps forward," Ganthet instructed Green Lantern.

Green Lantern was given a series of instructions, which ultimately led to the Sinestro Corps, whom he had captured alive.

Sinestro was hoisted up by the chains Hephaestus had forged, like a roast duck.

Karu Hill was locked in a cage normally used to imprison Universe beasts.

Despotellis was enveloped by a green macrophage and could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

Kiriazis was trapped inside a mirror that the Flash had stolen from the Mirror Master, and her beam of light kept reflecting in the mirror.

Weaponer, the bird-headed human Rome Ru, the Tri-Eye, and Amon Su were also imprisoned here. Except for a few who remained in Qward, the Sinestro Corps was basically all here.

"With this level of combat strength, who else would we send if not you?" Ganthet shrugged.

"That makes sense." Green Lantern nodded. "Alright, what do you want me to do next?"

"Lead the Seven Lantern Corps into the Blackest Night," Ganthet said.

"The Seven Lantern Corps— " Green Lantern thought carefully, "Our Green Lantern Corps, along with the Blue Lantern Corps you founded and the Indigo Tribe founded by Abin Sue, should be fine; the Red Lantern Corps, while also prepared for the Blackest Night, still harbors hatred towards the Guardians of the Universe; Sinestro Corps is almost entirely here, but Sinestro doesn't seem inclined to cooperate with us; the Violet Lantern Corps seems to be after me; and the Orange Lantern is just Roland— "

"The Orange Lantern Corps is just one person, that's fine. As for the Red Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps, I'll find a way to persuade them. But the Violet Lantern Corps —that's up to you."

"Uh—" Green Lantern thought for a moment, then looked at Wonder Woman, "The Violet Lantern Corps —is entirely female, why don't you go help me—"

"It's not impossible." Wonder Woman wasn't too concerned. With the Violet Lantern Corps' fighting strength, could they possibly force her into a defeat scene?

"Just in case, why don't you bring Roland along too?" Green Lantern raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in his mind. "Send him on a business trip to a place full of alien girls; I think he'll agree."

"And there's Carol, she's the leader of the Violet Lantern Corps," Ganthet reminded her.

Roland Cathedral.

"Business trip? No way!" Roland rolled his eyes. "I've only been back for a short while, I haven't even had a chance to sit down properly, and now I'm going back to Universe."

"The places we're going to this time are all alien girls," Wonder Woman said.

"Don't think I don't know, the Violet Lantern Corps, right? They're all blue, and they look weird too. I think Avatars are alright, but they're not even as good as Avatars."

"The Violet Lantern Ring can create purple crystals that imprison and brainwash enemies."

"Then—" Roland thought for a moment, "Wait a minute, I've always been good at brainwashing."

"Having more skills is never a bad thing. Mastering several brainwashing methods is a good thing."

"Alright, alright, let's go." Roland started packing. Although he and Wonder Woman were both capable of traversing the stars on their own, why not use transportation when there was one available?

"When did you get this spaceship?" Wonder Woman looked at the small spaceship Roland had piloted with some surprise. It looked quite old, and even had a license plate and vehicle inspection sticker.

"Oh, I borrowed it last time when I accompanied Shatterpressure to visit him in the Space Prison, to chase after the Lobo." Roland recalled for a moment before remembering the origin of the spaceship.

"Are you sure you want to borrow it?" Wonder Woman glanced at him.

"Pretty much." Roland shrugged. "Later, that guy sued the Green Lantern Corps, Hal paid for one out of his own pocket."

"Not bad, at least you didn't make Hal say, 'Who in the audience is accusing this official?'" Wonder Woman nodded.

"Cough cough----How could I be that kind of person----"

Sector 1416, Zamaron.

"Your understanding of love here is truly bizarre." Roland stepped on the head of Zamarons. "This is the first time I've seen someone confess their love like this. I'll definitely take action against them from now on."

"Removing the last part also makes sense," Wonder Woman said sarcastically to Roland, her hands restrained by the necks of two Zamarons.

"Are you kidding me? How could I not have been confessed to before?"

"----Um, weren't we here to talk about the alliance?" Carol asked the two. The Zamarons tried to control her with the Star Sapphire as soon as they saw her. Before she could say anything, Roland and Wonder Woman rushed at her. The two of them faced the entire Zamaron and disarmed them in less than half an hour.

"My experience tells me this makes things easier to negotiate." Wonder Woman tossed the two Zamarons aside. "Come on, hand over your leader. We need to talk to her."

The Zamarons, who had fallen to the ground, slowly extended a finger and pointed at Carol.

"Oh right, she is your queen." Roland nodded. "Now the queen has given her decree, so listen up."

"Before that—please show me the Star Sapphire," the Zamarons said.

"Damn it, what am I doing here?" Carol complained, holding up the purple Ring on her hand. "Hal has broken up with me more times than he's replenished the Ring's power, yet I'm still halfway out of the Universe, wholeheartedly accepting the alien parasitic Ring that brainwashed me, simply because Hal needs my help."

"It's okay, I'll beat him up for you when we get back to Earth," Wonder Woman said, patting Carol on the shoulder encouragingly.

[Carol Ferris of Earth, you are a servant of the eternally shining heart within the Central Power Battery.]

[Your undying light of love belongs to two souls of unknown origin from billions of years ago. Their crystallized bodies were brought from Earth to Zamalun. Open your heart to Star Sapphire.]

"Ring, I'm saying this one last time, don't try to turn me into an autopilot," Carol said helplessly.

Love conquers all.

"All I need to do is conquer these alien hags," Carol said. "And Hal Jordan too."

"----Is this Lantern Ring so intelligent? It can even argue with its owner?" Roland asked, puzzled. He looked at the Orange Lantern Ring on his hand. All this guy could say was "It's all mine."
