Hope Burns Bright[]
Hal is teleported to Oa, where he finds out he is going to be sent on his first mission, with his partner Kilowog. They are then told a Blue Lantern named Saint Walker is coming with them, much to Kolowog's annoyance, as he believes Walker to be a wimp. Hal is then told he is going up against the Red Lanterns, as they have taken over the Blue Lantern home planet. When they make it there, Hal sees that the Reds have ripped the planet apart. While searching for Reds, Saint Walker explains that the Reds have hated the Blues since the beginning of both Corps. While traveling, Hal and the rest incounter their first Red Lantern, Zilius Zox, or as Hal calls him "Bouncing Ball Man". The four begin to fight, with it ending in Hal throwing Zox far in to space. Meanwhile, the Red Lantern Skallox realizes his partner is now off planet and tells his leader, Atrocitus. Atrocitus then gets all the Red Lanterns he has, including Skallox and his second in command Bleez, and demands that they kill the Lanterns on his planet. The Red Lanterns then find Hal, Saint Walker, and Kilowog and begin their attack. They put up a good fight, but even Hal is saying they can't win, that is until Saint Walker recites the Blue Lantern oath and causes a large explosion of blue energy that knocks out all the Reds around him. Kolowog then grabs Hal's ring hand and recites the Green Lantern oath, causing another explosion that throws the Reds miles away. Hal is shocked and amazed by what Kilowog just did, but Kilowog shuts him up and says that there's still one Red left. Just then, Atrocitus arrives on the battlefeild, grabbing Saint Walker's head. Kilowog tries to charge right for Atrocitus, but Atrocitus just back hands Kilowog in to a mountain behind him. Atrocitus rushes towards Hal, ready to kill him, but Hal points his ring at Atrocitus, with his ring letting out a large beam that knocks Atrocitus back. He may be down, but he's not out, as he once again rushes towards them, but Saint Walker then shows up and grabs Atrocitus' head, much to his and Hal's confusion. However, Saint Walker then overloads Atrocitus with his own ring's power and ends up knocking him out. Afterwards, the Reds are forced off the Blue's home world and the Blue's move back in. Meanwhile, on the Red's home world, Atrocitus is speaking with Zilius Zox, Bleez, and Skallox, revealing that he isn't done with Hal Jordan.
