Let's do a Green Lantern story! It's been awhile since I've done one I think. Let's see... how to make this game. Okay, let's say you have a YELLOW lantern as the "big bad" and he's facing off against a green lantern and a red lantern. The red lantern let's say is a woman. It's like "the force is female" but... no, the red lantern core is female... not the jealous ones... the wrathful ones! The fire crackers! That's their specialty... battery attacks. They use explosive emotional energy to create hard light weapons capable of discharging an entire lantern battery's power plenipotentiary all at once. The kamikaze killers, the glass cannons, the one shot war mavens... they have many names throughout the galaxy, but everyone knows not to mess with them. Or at least, they thought they knew the reason not to mess with them. One particular yellow lantern who fancied himself as becoming something of a "god lantern", had a plan for creating a kind of fear sickness inside every emotion by directly polluting the exoverse itself, the universe of emotion. It's a frictional reality created by energy being scraped over the superfluid that makes space what it is. Sometimes it burns, sometimes it just orbit around in peaceful being... and sometimes you can fuck up bad enough to make emotional space sentient and then it gives you exactly what you want with the power turned up to infinity! So this yellow lantern killed this green lantern, the love interest of The Blood Jacket. You might be thinking... what's the best kind of one shot weapon? The kind that doesn't stop stinging, even after its injected. So at the climax of this fight, after losing her love, she sort of explodes her red lantern battery into a kind of lighting bolt right into the yellow lantern. He's electrified by red plasma shocks, but manages to recover and shake it off. "Is that it? Is that all the better wrath can wring out of itself against FEAR!" That's when he starts to notice it... parts of him are turning white. He's got tiny little white spots and they're spreading across his yellow suit. A white liquid light begins seeping out of his legs, seemingly melting them in the process and he starts SCREAMING in terror at the realization of having his legs melted into liquid light. But then the liquid light creates a sort of monster, with parts of itself branching out like tentacles with hands, one with a rictus grin full of sharp teeth that look like they're made of glowing red glitter. It begins salivating as the liquid light tentacle arms start pulling one of his arms apart from his body, but instead of blood there's just white liquid light, like it dissolved physicality itself into liquid energy saliva. It then forces him to watch as it eats into his bisected arm, the red fangs biting into it create metapathic pain, so anything even watching can feel it, as if its THEIR arm being eaten into! He starts squealing in shock, unable to shake his perception away from the loss of himself as he realizes he's the one eating himself, he's the one doing it to himself. His own worst fear made manifest using his own power against him... all of it... all at once. On that day, a Lantern tasted Hell. And since that day, no Latern has ever dared to enrage The Hell Hornets. The Unbreakable Hearts.
