There's a flash of green light, and the heroes arrive abruptly.

"Go!" the Green Lantern declares.

	"Jordan, at least, holds up to a punch better, but you're not completely useless with that ring. It will be an honor to tear it from your lifeless finger." he replies, firing a massive blast from a quartet of yellow rings on one hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yellow is a problem. He dodges them... mostly... though he's got several searing burn marks on his shoulder. And that hurts. A lot.

But he's going to save his father. He pushes through the pain.

"You have to catch me first," he replies. "And I'm giving him his ring back before you can do that." He uses the ring to tear a piece loose from the wall and slam it into the big yellow bastard.

	He digs his feet in. Even so, the hit knocks him back, his feet carving furrows into the ground around him. Still, he proves more solid than the debris. A massive hellow hand extends from the rings, reaching out at the Lantern. "That, boy, will be a pleasure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry attempts to dodge out of the way, but the hand grasps him firmly. Henry grunts as the hand begins to squeeze... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mongul lets up the pressure briefly, stepping up closer to Henry. "Hal Jordan is still alive... but only because there's still a use for him. You're even close... not that you'd know it. He's well hidden with technology beyond anything you can fathom... and, of course, these rings. But then you haven't learned to overcome fear, have you?"
He grins. "That's just as well. I crushed Hal Jordan's spirit once, yours can't be half so strong. Tell you what... give me the ring, and you can have Jordan. You can both walk out of here like nothing happened."

After Dinadan and Traya separated, Dinadan had slipped under some locked doors, hoping to find some sort of control panel for the defenses so that he could use them against Mongul and the parademons.

He didn't find that, but he found something almost as good.

Human-sized, Dinadan throws open the door and fires at Mongul with a laser that's at least half as big as he is, hoping to knock the supervillain away from Henry.

"Did someone say 'technology'?!" he shouts, his voice little manic from all the adrenalin pumping through his body. "I love technology!"

	Henry doesn't get the chance to answer before he's freed from the giant hand by the sudden blast. Mongul flies off his feet and crashes into, then through a wall, then a second. He turns to regard the new threat and snarls, beginning to advance on him. "And which brat would you be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Henry almost doesn't notice what's going on. His father was blocked from being sensed by technology. It wasn't his own greed overpowering his will. He hadn't let his desire for the ring outshine his desire to find his father.

And with that, he understands. He understands what it is he's been fearing. And he knows what it is that the ring represents.

The ring is nothing more than an embodiment of his willpower. And willpower will lose to fear... only if he lets it.

He will not let Mongul harm his father. He will not let Mongul harm his friends.

With a loud cry, Henry sends his green energies outward, shattering the yellow hand crushing him. He rockets towards Mongul to shove him towards a wall before he can advance on Din.

"My friend," Henry answers Mongul. "And you don't get to hurt him."

He makes a note to thank Din later for his excellent timing.

Mongul is smashed aside by the force of the rush. With the momentary loss of concentration, the hand, and the projection coming towards Din fade.

Mongul rises with the same sadistic grin, however. "Very good. You're worth killing after all." he replies, lifting his ring hand, and sending out a shockwave of energy at Henry and Din, and all around him in general, totally ignoring the fact he incinerates a few parademons under the force of the blast.

	Henry puts up a shield for both himself and Din. He's not going to let his friend get hurt. He'll need to rely on Din to provide returning firepower. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan dials the power down a notch -- just a notch -- in the hopes of keeping a decent amount of firepower and getting the laser to recharge faster between shots. He drops down to one knee to brace himself and returns fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He's better braced now, and has his shields. The laser makes them waver, but he doesn't move. "Now you two have gone from amusing to annoying."
He surrounds one fist with a yellow aura to empower his punches even more than usual, and slams a punch against the shield, then again, trying to wear down the shield, and through it, Henry.
"You're both going to die, but slowly and painfully."

	Henry sweats, focusing his will on keeping up the shield against such a fierce combatant. The shield begins to crack, but it doesn't shatter yet... "...Have... to... catch us... first..." Henry replies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan cringes as the shield cracks and starts alternating firing the laser at Mongul with firing it at the ceiling above the villain; hoping to bring it down on his head long enough for Henry to get a breather. He's glad he's already down on the floor because he's not sure that his legs would hold him at this point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For a moment, the tactic seems to work brilliantly. The ceiling comes crashing down on Mongul, burying him in several tons of stone, and water begins leaking through cracks in the ceiling now. The rubble pile shifts, and Mongul, enraged now, rises, hefting a few ton block of the stone, smashing it down at the shield. (Reply to this)(Parent)
