Julio, Toby, Rodrigo and Luis were sitting at the kitchen table.

"So we have two of the nine Corps united," Rodrigo said, "Those two are Will and Death Corps."

"The toughest ones to unite would probably Fear, Greed and Rage," Toby said.

"Fear would be easy to bring into this mix," Rodrigo said.

"How would you do that?" asked Julio.

"Tell them if that the world is taken over by this alien threat then Fear Corps won't be able to take it from them," Rodrigo said.

"Or be able to fight Will Corps because they would probably move to protect a different planet," Luis said.

"True," Julio said, "Greed Corps only has one member but he is very strong and has all nine Lantern Corps ring. He would probably think he could take it down alone and lose."

"Alright," Rodrigo said, "Toby and I will convince our own Corps while you guys go for one of the other five Corps."

"I've got Sinestro and his Fear Corps," Julio said.

"I'll go talk to the White Lantern," Luis said, "Life Corps would really help us."

"Looks like opposites attract," Toby said, "Am I right?"

"Shut up," Rodrigo said laughing, "Let's go."

----------

Toby flew to his Corps headquarters and met with them.

"Toby," said a man, "Welcome to the Rage Corps Headquarters. What brings you here?"

"There is an alien threat heading towards Earth," Toby said.

"We know," he said, "We've seen you fight them. You and those other Corps members."

"Those members are my friends," Toby said, "We're trying to bring all the Corps together to take down this threat."

"Well," the man said, "If you can work together with four Corps members that aren't Rage Corps, then we can too."

He held out his hand and Toby shook it happily.

"Welcome to the team," Toby said.

----------

Julio flew towards the entrance of Fear Corps headquarters. An alarm started going off.

"Breach at front gate," it said, "Human male, Will Corps Member."

Within seconds, Julio was surrounded by men, women and aliens in yellow suits.

"I don't want to fight," Julio said.

"Then why are you here?" someone said.

A gap opened on the circle and a man with pink skin walked towards him.

"Sinestro," Julio said.

"Answer my question," Sinestro said, "Why are you here?"

"An alien threat plans to take over Earth," Julio said, "We need all the Lantern Corps to come together and bring it down."

"Why should we help you?" he asked.

"Because if you don't, Earth will be taken over and you won't be able to do anything about it," Julio said, "And the Will Corps will leave the planet and find a different one to protect."

"Two very good points," Sinestro said, "I agree to join you and your Green Lantern scums to bring down these aliens."

Sinestro held out his hand. Julio shook it and took off.

----------

Luis flew up into the clouds and looked around. He couldn't find what he was looking for. He turned around and saw that it was behind him.

There it is, Luis thought, The Temple of Light.

Luis flew over to it and enter. He was stared at by all the members of the Life Corps. Luis saw a man standing on a stage with his back to him

"What brings you here?" he said, "Death Corps member."

"We need help," Luis said, "We must work together to take down this alien threat."

"We know," the White Lantern said, "We were planning on going to unite with Will Corps to take the aliens down."

"It's going to take all of the Corps, White Lantern," Luis said, "We already have four Corps united and willing to work with each other. The Star Sapphires will join soon and we shall only need Greed, Hope and Compassion to join."

"We shall join you in this fight," the White Lantern said, "For the greater good of the Earth and the Lantern  Corps."

The two shook hands and Luis headed back to Detroit.

----------

Rodrigo arrived at the Star Sapphires headquarters. When he got inside, he was greeted by one of the members.

"Hello Rodrigo," she said, "Welcome to headquarters. What do you need?"

"I need to talk to our leader," Rodrigo said.

"Sorry but she is all booked today," she said.

"It is of utmost importance," he said, "The fate of the world and the Lantern Corps is at stake."

Her eyes widened and she took him to her office.

"Here is her office," she said.

Rodrigo entered and saw that she was talking to someone. They both became quiet and looked at him.

"Get out," Rodrigo said.

The woman she was talking to left. Rodrigo walked over and took her seat.

"What do you need?" she asked.

"I need you to accept the request to join five other Corps in the battle for Earth," Rodrigo said.

"I'll join this fight," she said, "I respect a man with authority and drive. And besides, you are lesser gender in this Corps. Mostly everyone here is female. There are only ten males in this Corps counting you."

Rodrigo smiled and shook her hand. He then left and headed back to Earth.
