LEGO Green Lantern - Issue 3

PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND COMMENT IF YOU FAVORITE

 

(2PJL) Coast City -

 

My name is Kyle Rayner...and I'm about to die. Just moments ago it was smooth sailing for me. I was just, you know, fighting the usual insane maniac, who happens to know your secret identity, using your "super awesome Green Lantern ring". You know, the usual. But then, the next thing I know my " super awesome Green Lantern ring" ran out of batteries. Guess they were false advertising when the labeled it as "super awesome". So yeah, now I'm currently falling to my death. Luckily, I manage to shift my body towards an alley way where I land inside an open dumpster.

 

Eh...ew. Did someone bury their dead cat in here? It sure smells like it. Maybe I wasn't so lucky after all. I leap out of the dumpster and away from the stench of whatever was inside and make my way down the alley. I see an old trench coat lying on the ground next to a trash barrel. Perfect. I put it on, concealing my costume. I slip off my mask and begin to place it in the coat pocket. But before I do, I realize how much it looks like a crab's face. Heh, crab mask.

 

As I leave the alley and head for my apartment to charge my ring, I look above me for my attacker, but don't see him anywhere. Whatever, must have got scared. I mean, a crab mask really can be scary I guess. I wonder if it would scare that Batman guy over in Gotham City. He's really into that fear stuff so probably not. Ooo, or what about Superman? Heck, I bet I could take him on, I bet I could beat him! I mean his weakness is the color green, right? Then again...mine and the rest of the GL Corps is the color yellow...hey, I know, I could scare the guardians! They've never seen my crab mask before, in fact the probably still think I'm using the costume that I had when I first became a Green Lantern, the default. Little do they know that I designed my own, more stylish outfit.

 

Suddenly I realize that I'm walking up the front steps to my apartment. Wow, I really was lost in thought there. At least I didn't get lost in reality too though, right?

 

I enter the apartment complex and head up the tall spiral stair case to my room. Man, I hate living on the top floor. I spent my whole budget at the time to get a nice room higher up so I don't have to live with all the footsteps above. But now I realize that either way footsteps will haunt you, I mean, look at how many I have to take to get to my room. Yeesh, they seriously need an elevator in here.

 

Once I make it to my room, I "plug-in" my ring to my unnecessarily large lantern charger thing, and then sit down at my drawing table. I sketch a quick picture of the man that was chasing me earlier and pin it on my bulletin board, with all my other sketches and information on the criminals that I've encountered during my time as a Green Lantern.

 

I walk over to my couch and turn on the T.V. As I lay down to rest the screen cuts out. Seconds later the image reemerges and I leap to my feet in anger...on the screen was Alex. Her mouth had been taped shut and her arms were pinned to her sides by many strips of tape. Suddenly a pistol came into view and balanced the barrel on the side of Alex's head. Alex tried to argue with the gun's user but her attempts were muffled by her gag.

 

I run over to my ring and slip it on. How could I let this happen!? In all the chaos, I completely forgot that I had left Alex back at the Big Belly Burger. Now that maniac that was after me earlier has got her I assume. I wondered why he didn't follow me after my ring ran out of juice. I guess he realized that he couldn't take me on in a fist fight, and was going to have to use other methods, and having seen us together in the diner, he got an idea. I've got to find her fast, but how? I have no idea where she is. I never thought that it would come to this, but I'm going to need to ask the guardians for help on this one...

 

Next - Rescue Mission

 

Hey, it only took me 2 months to get out a new issue! That's gotta be a new record. Then again back when I wrote Justice League (good times) I would release and issue every day. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this issue! I tied hard to throw in some easter eggish stuff for Kyle Rayner fans. Go ahead and tell me in the comments if you found them! I'll give you a hint, there are two. Oh, and hey, thank you guys so much for 800 followers! I actually think I'm sitting at 803 right now. But none-the-less I really appreciate it. Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed the issue. Thanks! -Michael
