Oa, home planet of the Green Lantern Corps. This planet housed, trained, and deployed countless Green Lanterns across the universe. Today, it was under attack.

From the depths of space, a purple humanoid with three eyes and a horizontal fin across its head appeared before the entire corps. He wore a long black cape that was held together by three golden circles on his chest. He had black pants, and golden bracelets that gave him a menacing overlord look.

"So this is the legendary Green Lantern Corps." He said before unleashing a powerful wave of psionic energy from his third eye. The corps created shield constructs to defend themselves, but were quickly overpowered by his power.

"How unbearably pathetic," He finished.

"What's pathetic, Despero, is thinkin' a poozer like you can turn the corps into your own personal army!" Kilowog said before creating a rocket launcher and firing it at the alien, who merely dodged it and released another wave of energy.

"Fool! Don't you know? I have the power to bend their pathetic wills to mine!" Despero said, using his third eye's power to take over the minds of the corps members, their eyes turning red and their faces blank and emotionless.

"See how easily they fall to me? And your masters, The Guardians of The Universe, are next."

"The Guardians got moved to a safe place. Which is more than I can say for YOU!" Kilowog yelled, throwing a missile barrage at Despero, who simply used his new slaves to create a massive barrier to protect him.

"Submit to me willingly, Kilowog, and together we can bring about a golden age unlike any ever seen before," Despero offered.

"You mean an age o' servitude? Where everybody's just a puppet for you to pull their strings? No thanks! And I won't let you use the corps against the rest o' the universe!" Kilowog said firmly.

Angered by the Lantern's refusal, Despero sent his mind-controlled puppets to charge at the massive alien. Kilowog however, had one more trick up his sleeve. One that he always considered a last resort.

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power: Green Lantern's light!" Kilowog recited, unleashing a massive beam from his ring, enveloping every member of the corps in its light.

As it faded away, Despero looked at his surroundings, seeing that he was now alone.

"So Kilowog decided to destroy himself and the corps rather than leave it in my care... A minor annoyance that will require a slight change in plans," He said before flying off back into the void, not noticing the small Lantern ring floating in space before flying off into the void itself, the opposite way of Despero.

Back on Earth, Deku and the rest of the Teen Titans were facing off against a giant robot that looked like a giant toy soldier. Inside the head of the toy soldier was a large man that wore a long green trench coat, a red t-shirt and blue navy pants.

"Time for the Toymaker to get some pretty pennies for his new toys. They don't come cheap, you know?" Toymaker asked as he controlled the toy soldier to reach in for the bank's vault.

However, it never reached it as Green Lantern Jessica Cruz created a large octopus that began attacking the giant robot.

"Sorry Toymaker, but you best keep your hands off of the cookie jar," said Green Lantern as her construct held back the robot.

Deku used this chance to run up the side of the building at top speeds. He leaped from the building top straight at the toy soldier's head. With his fist reeled back, he called out his attack as it connected with the large black hat.
