"Have you inquired with Green Lantern Hal Jordan of that sector?"
The white-haired Guardian asked the Elder observing Earth.
The blue-skinned Elder looked at the projected image of Earth with a worried expression, then slowly raised his head and said, "I'm concerned that Jordan is deeply entangled in this power transition. However, many outstanding members believe that our distance from the incident might affect our judgment."
"So."
He pondered for a moment, then said to the many members of the Elder Council, "I believe it's now necessary to pay close attention to this matter. What do you suggest?"
He threw the question to the white-haired Guardian.
"Another Green Lantern born on Earth recently returned to Oa after completing a mission far on the edge of Europe. Perhaps we can assign this observation task to him!"
"Another Green Lantern born on Earth, you don't mean..."
The Elder, who was unusually concerned about Earth, showed a thoughtful expression as he considered the candidate the other party proposed.
"Yes, it's Guy Gardner."
Guy Gardner was the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, a human born on Earth.
He was originally another successor chosen by Abin Sur, but due to Hal Jordan's closer proximity at the time, he was not chosen and became Hal's substitute.
During one instance of performing his substitute duties, his Green Lantern Ring exploded in front of Guy Gardner, and the after-effects of being mind-controlled by Sinestro caused him to lose consciousness for a considerable period.
As an official Green Lantern, he had once joined the Justice League and the Justice League International.
However, the explosion caused permanent brain damage, resulting in an unstable, arrogant, impulsive, and often childish personality.
In a future conflict, he even dueled Hal for the position of Green Lantern.
The result was that he completely lost to Hal; after his defeat, he gave the Ring to Hal and withdrew from the Green Lantern Corps.
Oa.
Upon returning to Oa, Guy was soon received by two Elders.
After hearing the task they assigned him, he showed a surprised expression.
"Huh?"
"Why do you look like that, Gardner?"
The Elder frowned and asked Gardner.
"Nothing, just a bit strange. Do you really think Homelander intends to rule the world?"
The Elder, who had always paid special attention to Earth, told him, "Although we observe from afar, we are very concerned about his recent behavior. He has shown an attitude of disregarding the will of multiple sovereign nations!"
"Uh..."
Gardner spread his hands and asked the two, "Are we discussing the same person? The one with the black cape, good teeth, and perhaps secretly does some family-friendly things? I mean, I've heard of him, he doesn't seem like the kind of person you're describing!"
"So I think your omniscience is broken. He and Superman are both great people. He's a golden boy, definitely not the type to conspire with scoundrels, brutally beat a nun to death, and laugh hysterically while doing it!"
Gardner had a good impression of Eric.
His last return to Earth was after General Zod's invasion, at which point nothing had happened yet.
Eric's notoriety had not yet spread.
"Kylereyna is missing!"
The Elder pondered for a moment and told him directly.
"What do you mean by 'missing'?"
Gardner asked, puzzled.
"Missing means that on his way back to Earth, his Green Lantern Ring's identification signal disappeared. We believe his Green Lantern Ring has been destroyed."
Another white-haired Elder added, "And this kind of power is possessed by only a very few people! We suspect that whatever happened to Reyna is related to what's happening on your home planet—Earth!"
"Alright!"
Gardner stood up and said, "I generally understand what you mean. You want me to go find a friend, right?"
"Yes! But you should not go alone!"
"We will accompany you!"
The two Elders said something that shocked Gardner.
"You're going to Earth too? This is big news. May I ask if this is a spontaneous decision, or have you already made up your minds?"
Gardner confirmed with them again.
"Of course, this is what we have decided. You don't need to worry about us!"
"Alright, then I wish us all a lucky journey!"
Gardner shrugged.
Meanwhile, on Earth, at Ferris Aircraft test site.
A fighter jet was plummeting rapidly towards the ground!
The black smoke billowing from the fighter jet's tail, and the occasional sparks, indicated that the aircraft had suffered severe damage.
If nothing unexpected happened, the fighter jet would soon crash.
"Damn it!"
Inside the fighter jet's cockpit, Hal Jordan was using all his strength to pull the plane back up.
"Come on! Come on!"
Hal pulled hard on the control stick while shouting loudly.
A piercing alarm blared in the fighter jet's cockpit!
It made him agitated!
"No! Everything's on fire, there's no power left at all!"
While pulling hard on the control stick, he looked at the aircraft's control panel beside him.
It showed that both engine power drive systems were completely damaged!
"You're plummeting, Hal!"
In the command center, Hal's rumored girlfriend, also the CEO of the airline and Hal's superior, Carol Ferris, was anxiously holding the microphone and shouting at Hal, "Eject immediately, don't waste any time!"
Hal ignored the voice in the communicator, operating the plane while shouting, "I can do it, leave it to me, I can land it!"
Carol Ferris was speechless at Hal, who was as stubborn as an ox.
Looking at the rapidly falling plane with flames burning at its tail, she had already pronounced a death sentence on it in her heart!
The ground was getting closer and closer, and the plane showed no sign of pulling up.
Trailing a long plume of fire, the fighter jet slammed rapidly towards the ground.
"Hal!"
Watching the monitor show the plane's altitude at zero, Carol Ferris cried out his name!
Carol, her face full of anxiety, immediately put down her communicator and hurried out of the room.
"Immediately dispatch an emergency rescue team!"
While rushing to the scene, Carol told the other staff in the room.
"Ambulances, and the fire department, get them ready immediately! I need you to ensure these rescue forces join the scene as soon as possible."
When Carol arrived at the scene in a frantic rush, she found that the plane had not crashed.
Hal was jumping out of the fighter jet's cockpit, taking off his helmet.
Looking at the perfectly intact plane and then at the relaxed Hal, Carol was stunned.
"What... what happened?"
She asked Hal.
"Simple, I flew the plane back!"
"How did you do that?"
Carol looked at the plane in surprise, then turned her gaze back to Hal.
"I saw on the monitor that the plane was completely uncontrollable. You couldn't possibly have pulled the fighter jet back to normal altitude in such a short time."
Hal, holding his helmet in his left hand, replied to her, "Although it sounds incredible, I used skill and talent!"
"Is that so?"
Carol watched Hal suspiciously for a moment, then said, "Let me see your hand!"
"What?"
"I said, let me see your hand now!"
"Alright!"
Hal sighed and slowly raised his right hand.
