This is an idea that hit me while I was working on the third part of
Typhoon, and I just HAD to roll with it. It's a crossover,
and...well...I
hope you enjoy it. ^_^
I did ... for the most part. However, a couple of comments:
red brac
ers of a similar material adorned its arms, and a highly polished,
gleaming
"Bracers" broken over two lines.
E-mail client parsing error. This same thing also causes phantom newlines
that don't exist in the original local copy.
"BEWARE MY POWER...GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"
And the world around them was lost in an explosion of emerald fire.
*This* part really didn't work for me.
Up until this point, Jaspera seemed like an unusually competent, even
intelligent enemy. (I particularly liked the line about "if you get rid
of the Ring, but not the Ringbearer, sooner or later they'll come back"
-- so true. ^_^)
However, that he should have Conan at his mercy, but then just stand
there and gibber as Conan recites his oath, defies belief. (And, yes,
I *know* that it's a kind of scene that's not exactly unknown in the
canon GL. But it defies belief there, too.)
I know it defies belief, and YOU know it defies belief...we ALL know it
defies belief.
But it's comic book logic--that's the only defence I'll offer for that
scene. ^_^
Except to say that this is not the last we'll see of Jaspera, and in his
next appearance, it will become more clear WHY he freezes up when he hears
the Lantern Oath...
Without elaborating future events, I'll just say that the Lantern Corps have
NOT been nice to Jaspera.
In short, I was enjoying the story, but this moment really shattered
my sense of immersion. Any chance you can come up with a turning point
that doesn't require the villain to switch off his brain?
Sorry, nope. ^_^
Beyond that, a fun idea, and of course the purple energy at the end
gives an equally fun idea of where it goes next. Not sure which I'd
rather see, at this point: more of this, or "Typhoon". (Or
"Chibification Nation," for that matter.)
Heh.
Thanks for commenting!
