(With the White Ring, you don't have to change the color.)

(Also - quick note to everyone; I'm going to be preoccupied with the Choir Festival for most of my day tomorrow, so from around 7:15 AM to around 5:45 PM my time, I'm basically as good as dead when it comes to being on. In the event that this reaches post limit while I'm off, Kyogre is in charge of making the next part.)

Meanwhile, in yet another world, a rift opens, and three rings head out - one orange, one green, and one violet.

They all take off in different directions, with the Orange Ring having the farthest destination from the rift.

The Green Ring, in contrast, has the shortest destination from the rift.

A tower of a man is walking down the street, his trenchcoat obscuring most of his body as he walks, the back end of a tuba sticking out of his back and a device like a rebreather obscuring most of his face save the eyes. And as he walks down the street, and no one asks any questions. Could be some Gigan in his blood. Could be a partial feral with traits of a gorilla. Or, if people were paying real close attention to the sound he made when he walked, they may assume he's an experiment done by one of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. And they'd be right.

Big Band, one of the few Anti-Skullgirl Weapons out there, is currently searching for the most recent Skullgirl. This one has it in for the Medicis, which makes this case a lot more fun for him. Mainly because he also happens to have beef with the Medicis. Now, if it weren't for the fact that the Skullgirl is probably going to cause a lot of collateral damage in her persuit, they could even be on good terms.

Now, there's a certain other, more recently created ASW that could be helping Big Band right now - Peacock, the slightly nuts toon-like girl enhanced with two Parasites rather than one. So where is she now, you ask? Sleeping, because Big Band disabled the Theonite Resonance Detector in Peacock's room. Might as well let the kid get some sleep. And besides, she's only thirteen, and this is the first time she's been out while a Skullgirl's on the loose whereas Big Band's dealt with two others before. He's got plenty of experience.

Right now, Big Band is heading for the River King Casino, a notorious Medici hangout. "Where money flows like water," they say. Good thing he ain't looking to play.

But his plans are promptly sidetracked when he spots something shiny and green heading directly towards him.

"What the hell...?" Big Band asks, looking up as the people around him also look up, and after a moment, they quickly scatter as the ring gets closer. "What the hell-"

And then the ring goes under his trenchcoat and slips onto one of the fingers of his hidden brass arms.

"Ben Birdland of Earth. You have the ability to overcome great fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

There's a green flash of light. And when it faces, Big Band...is not much different, actually. Now his trenchcoat is black and green, with the Green Lantern insignia on the front and on the flaps on his sides. He also has a green domino mask now, which goes well with his now-green hat.

Big Band looks down at himself, speechless. Then, he pulls out the arm with the ring on it, poking the ring with a small mechanical claw.

"...okay, how do I turn this thing off?"

As interesting as this random green space ring and whatever this Lantern Corps thing is, he has other things to do, damn it!
