IN BRIGHTEST DAY - Mod Plot [LOG POST | 2 | IN BLACKEST NIGHT]
Who| Everyone involved in the plot
What| A space battle
Where| In the space sector around Cargg
When| If relevant, like if you want to note it's after an event.
Warnings/Notes| Things may get violent/gory!
Unfortunately, even the last Green Lanterns didn't know where the yellows or reds had hidden their central power batteries. Their long lost bases were still lost to the universe. That meant the only way to find them was to wait for them to attack.
In the space sector around the planet Cargg, reports of an asteroid mining freighter getting attacked clued the Legion and their allies into where the yellows were. By the time they got there, the red Lanterns had also joined in -- attacking all comers, including the yellows themselves. As the different groups of Lanterns collided in combat, the deaths started almost instantly. New rings started seeking owners, including those of the reds and yellows.
By now, they'd all received at least enough basic training with their rings to function in battle, and they all still had use of their normal powers.
A squad of Green Lanterns led by Kilowog gathered around the freighter, trying to shield it from attack.
"Listen up, poozers!" Kilowog called out to his greens, leading them into the fight and setting up a perimeter. "We need to give this ship time to evac. Hold the line! If it's yellow or red, it's not getting through!"
Kid Quantum, wielding a blue ring, called out to the Legionnaires, "We need to protect that freighter! Everyone move in to support the greens. Hit and run tactics! Hit 'em fast and hit 'em hard. Let's go, Legion!"

"Not the worst one I've ever heard of, but it's definitely up there. You restarted a war that's been over for a thousand years. An entire millenium. That's literally the exact opposite of creating order."
Even Toothless nodded at that.
"Hal," Hiccup asked, turning to the Lantern, "you've known this guy a long time, right? Is he usually this bad at logic?"
A small part of Hiccup realized mocking the man wasn't the best idea, but once he started talking it was very, very hard to shut himself up again.

Hal resisted the impulse to wince. That fight, for all that they'd beaten back the yellows, had gone exactly the way Sinestro had wanted it to. The Guardians had authorized lethal force. Yellows had died. People found a reason to fear Green Lanterns.
"Of course, copy-pasting the same plan onto a different galactic situation is pretty lazy. I expected better."

They needed a new angle and he already had one in mind.
"But not everything needs adjustment. This trick, for instance, apparently will work more than once."
He gave a mental command to his ring. One that caused something to happen in the ring of another.

"Hal?" he said, looking up at him, confused, wondering if he knew what that meant.

It took half a second for Dipper to comprehend the words. Just long enough for him to look at Hal and Hiccup with wide and terrified eyes. His other hand moved to try to pull the ring off but it was too late. His body stretched out unnaturally, the way someone's body might have spaghettified at the edge of a black hole.
He screamed, reaching out for them both. It was a high and terrified scream. Gone was the vindictive, laughing terror teen of earlier, or the sullen boy reveling in newfound feelings of power over others. This was the scream of a child being ripped away from reality when he'd already felt something terrible like it once before. In an instant, he was gone, transformed into a streak of yellow light that rocketed away through the cosmos.
At the exact same time as Dipper, two other Legionnaires were caught by surprise by the yellow rings they'd picked up and they suffered the same fate. Hal's ring did it just a little bit later. Enough time to pull the ring off, perhaps, but there was a reason Dipper and the others had been taken first.

Hiccup wasn't prone to cursing. The lengthy and disgusting art of Viking profanity was more Astrid's area of expertise than his. That he had done so was a sign that he was well and truly pissed off.
Toothless was a little more physical with his anger, firing off a blast of plasma at Sinestro.

And then he was cut off by Dipper, and whipped back around to reach for him, but it was too little, too late.
Hal had no problem guessing why his own ring was so slow to the punch; it was exactly the kind of twist of the knife that Sinestro excelled at. And while he might've been left enough time to take his own ring off, if he wanted to, he knew - and he knew that Sinestro knew - that there was no way in hell he'd do it now.
