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!"

He clapped a hand onto Jason's shoulder, and looked him square in the eye.
"You're a good lad. Don't get yourself killed out there."
With that, he took off for the rear line, where medical assistance would be waiting. A few seconds after taking flight, out of earshot of Jason, his ring spoke up again.
[CHANCES OF REACHING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE WITH SUFFICIENT TIME TO STABILIZE WOUNDS AND PREVENT DEATH: FIVE PERCENT. IMMINENT DEATH OF WIELDER LIKELY.]
"I'm aware, friend. Take me somewhere out of the way. I'd rather not take up the medics' precious time saving me when it could be spent saving someone else. Besides, I don't want to make the lad feel any worse than he probably already does."
[...ACKNOWLEDGED.]
With that, he flew off towards a desolate debris field near the rear lines, settling down on a large scrap of debris. He held up his hand, looking at his ring.
"You should probably be off, I suppose. Go and see if you can find someone else to wield you while I'm busy being dead. I'll be able to get back just fine with my Legion flight ring once I recover, so no worries there. Now go on, shoo."
The ring hesitated a moment, stuck in a situation it didn't have normal protocols for.
[...SECTOR SCAN FOR REPLACEMENT INITIATED.]
And in a flash, the ring flew away, leaving Alexander alone, floating weightless in the vacuum of space. Without the ring helping keep his wound compressed, blood flowed freely from it.
Once again, Alexander felt that familiar weariness settle in, closing his eyes for the last time in this particular lifetime, his body floating silently among the stars.
