Approaching New Tamaran
Once Sodam Yat finally was done with his mission and could reply to Henry's message, he was on Earth in the matter of hours. A short time later, and they'd assembled their team.

Lead by the Ion-powered Yat, the rest of the team was made up of Henry, Avalon, Katima, LifeForce, Jon Kent, the Free kids of Hope and Avia, and, of course, Alerron, son of Starfire and Yat.

The plan was a simple one. There would be many Tamaranians unhappy with Blackfire's rule. Head down to the surface, take out Blackfire, free Starfire. Once Starfire was free, the ruling of the planet should be easily transferred.

This had been Josh's first trip through space, and he was still worried about his boyfriend. He made sure to hold his hand tightly through the space-trip, which thankfully was faster than he could do alone due to the warp capabilities of a Blue Lantern.

He glances back to the others as the world comes into view below.

"Everyone ready?" he asks them. "Remember, Yat and Alerron handle Blackfire. Hope and Avia, find Starfire and get her free. The rest of us, provide cover where needed. She'll probably have some muscle in there to help her keep power, but it shouldn't be anything too powerful -- she'll want to have control over them. Which means the rest of us can handle it."

He leans over to whisper in Josh's ear, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. "We're almost there. Hang on, handsome."

	Henry makes a beeline for Mongul, slamming into him with his shields on. It's like running into a brick wall, and he grunts in pain. "Hope! Avia! Stick to the plan!" he declares. If they can get Starfire out, they can at least get out and start coming up with a new plan. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Moments before they slam into the palace, LifeForce gasps. He hadn't sensed it before but it's a bit too late. He grunts in pain as his senses are assaulted by the rapid injury and changes around him. Off balance, the healer takes a look around. He starts over towards Yat, not sure if he can do anything about the weird plant but he's not much use in a direct fight against alien powerhouses.

	"Be careful, Green!" growles Avalon. He's taken to the air, and if floating above Mongul and Henry. Not expecting it to do much, he lets go a volley of blue blasts, trying to take the giant man's attention. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mongul channeled the energy of the yellow rings through him, enhancing his durability as the Green Lantern charged him. This Lantern, like so many among the foolish, thought they could best Mongul.

"I've waited years to add a Green Ring to my collection, Lantern. And you've been so kind as to bring me three. I think I will let you live long enough to make your father come hunting me. When he does, I will kill you in front of him, and then I will take his ring as well." Mongul offers.

"Natand'r, bring me the Kryptonian's head and you will lead our next offensive! Bring me both your cousin's and the Kryptonian's and you will be Supreme Commander of New Tameran's armies!" Mongul yells, sending a yellow blast at Henry.

Katima hung back just slightly from the others. It enabled her to get a more keen look at how the fight was setting itself up. It also allowed her to shut out as much as she could of what was happening to Sodam Yat and the subsequent emotional strain it had put through Alerron. It was good that Avalon had taught her to build walls; she needed them now.

Which, of course, was why she chose to take on the properties of a Green Lantern.

"You can't count, Mongul. Last I checked there were only two Greens, one Blue, and an Indigo. It doesn't matter, though. You aren't getting any of them."

If Mongul tried to gain charge from her, he'd be disappointed. Color change or not, her battery was still Indigo. In fact he'll gain nothing at all from her, something she uses to her advantage as she pummels him with fist-like constructs.

	Henry is thrown back from the yellow blast, but he gets back to his feet, bleeding a little from his nose. He doesn't even take a moment to catch his breath before he's charging again, fists blasting as he goes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

LifeForce crouches down by Yat, not sure what he can do. Nothing he's sensing is like anything he's ever sensed before and given the unusual mix of alien biology and whatever it is exactly Ion is...Josh is pretty sure he can't do much right now. Sensing Henry's injury, Josh is to his feet quickly.

A glowing hand is held up, repairing the damage to Henry as he passes. Josh may not be much use in a direct fight but he can help keep his friends healed.

It seems that Mongul is ignoring Avalon.

That is a bad idea on his part.

//Cover me if I need it, he's going to start blasting when I drain him.// Avalon sends to Henry and Katima both through his own ring - the communication is soundless and instant.

Spreading his wings a bit, Avalon's arms go wide, out even with his shoulders as he brings up a wave of Hope within himself and then begins to leech the precious yellow power from Mongul's rings as quickly as he can.

Mongul summons a shield before himself to deflect the worst of the Lanterns' attacks, but notices the human trying to aid Yat and smiles.

Each of his rings inform him that he's starting to lose power, but it will take Avalon a bit of time to leech all of the energy on his own. More than enough time for Mongul to focus on Lifeforce and try to pull the young man's greatest fear from his mind and tear into him with it, even as he holds off Henry and Katima.

The Blue Lantern is annoying and Mongul will need to something to break his concentration.

"Guardsmen! The man who brings me the wings off the Naltorian will be promoted to Commander of Security Forces!" he roars.

Several guardsmen will rush at Avalon, attempting to batter him with melee weapons.

	Katima hears Mongul's threat and makes a color switch, going from Green to Blue to accelerate Avalon's efforts. When the guardsmen come towards Avalon, she focuses on taking over the drain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sensing Henry's injuries, LifeForce moves towards him, sending the healing energies out as soon as he's within range.

The calls for guards gets Josh's attention and he starts to move towards them. He gets a few steps before Monguls attack takes hold.

The healer's fears are difficult things to make tangible with light alone. Losing the little family, the vast emptiness of space...difficult to bring to form. But eventually something is found and comes to form.

Cicada. Josh's father.

The construct appears and Josh has just enough time to jump back, the construct-villains's knife slicing along Josh's chest instead of impaling him. The healer's eyes go wide even as the wound closes. "Wh-what?" he steps back as the construct comes for him again.

Too busy with what he's dealing with to do much more than glance to Josh, Avalon assesses the weapons of the men coming for him and does the only sensible thing. He raises up into the air out of their reach with his blue aura and just keeps draining Mongul.

"Y'know.. all you seem to do is offer things like a carrot to these poop people. You never come through with your promises, do you?" he finally says, one of the first things he's said aloud. Arching his body a bit, Avalon puts more umph into draining. He can tell that Henry is having a hard time with keeping Mangul busy, and the sooner this is done the better.

Mongul keeps up the pressure on Josh and Henry even as the drain on his rings increases. The rings themselves are losing power, but these are not the alien warlord's only abilities.

He turns toward Katima and lets loose with a powerful energy blast in her direction. Then he'll keep the shield up as moves toward her.

He doesn't need his ring to kill her with his bare hands.

Henry helps defend Kat with a shield, helping protect her from the potentially-lethal blast.

With his wounds healed by LifeForce, Henry takes on Mongul more directly, interposing himself between the powerful villain and Katima. He's survived going toe-to-toe with Mongul before; he can again, particularly knowing that Josh is there to help keep him in the fight.

"I don't think so, Mongul!" he declares.

Josh leaps back again as the Cicada construct slashes open another wound on his chest. "Stay away!" he demands of the glowing yellow being.

"No! I'm not like you! I heal people! I'm a hero, not some psycho cult leader!" he yelled, blocking another slash even if it partially cut into his arm. "I'm one of the good guys. LifeForce!" he yells, struggling against his own fears.

Of course he's momentarily distracted by sensing his friends get hurt. This allows the Cicada construct to plunge that lightning-bolt shaped dagger right into LifeForce's midsection.

There's a momentary freeze as Josh looks wide-eyed from the knife in his guy to the grinning construct holding it. Slowly the shocked expression becomes an angry one and those white flames flare up around Josh like they did during the battle with the Brain Trust. There's a rather nasty CRACK as the healer rears back and punches Cicada-construct full force, knocking him back. Pulling the knife out, Josh tosses it right into the construct, stabbing him with his own weapon and breaking it. The healer turns an angry glare at Mongul but can't do much else. He's vulnerable for a moment while he heals, just glaring at the enemy with glowing eyes.

Seeing Josh get hurt like that makes something snap within Avalon. He gives a rather guttural cry and then points a palm at Josh as he directs a force shield to protect him.

This trip into space has been a real stretch for Avalon's mastery of his Ring, but at the same time, it seems that because of that challenge he has unlocked more ability. Blue fire starts to crackle from his eyes as he then turns his other palm to Mongul and summons a quite forceful concussive blast at the other alien. All of this, and he still keeps leeching Mongul.

"You threaten to take my wings.. you threaten my friends.. You are nothing but an overgrown bully who is afraid of loosing." he snarls, "Perhaps it is time that you faced your fears instead of imposing them on all of the rest of us!"

"I fear nothing, ingrate. You intrude on my home, attack my wife and son, and still dare to call yourselves right." Mongul snarls.

This battle isn't going to plan. So it's time to change plans.

Mongul ends the chest blast, and focuses his remaining ring power into flight and shielding himself. Noting the position of the Green and Indigo Lanterns, Mongul launches himself at the one that now annoys him most: the Blue.

He summons brute strength, amplified by his ability to instill fear and tries to smite the Blue Lantern before the others can stop him.

	Katima is innately aware of it when Mongul chooses to focus on Avalon and thus she changes colors yet again, going back to green and heading right towards Mongul. She uses her best skill. She teleports herself directly between Mongul and Avalon, preparing herself to take a direct hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"KAT!" Henry screams, seeing what's happening before it's done. He sees how this is going -- even with LifeForce along and healing, the damage Mongul is dishing out is just too much for them to handle. He launches himself at Mongul's back. Perhaps if he takes the lumps for a bit, the others can recover... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not yet fully healed thanks to how deeply he was stabbed and the unusual shape of the weapon, LifeForce can only watch and worry as Mongul heads into a crash course with Henry, Ava, and Katima. "Guys..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Avalon just grits his teeth and refuses to be cowed by fear - he just brings his hands together before himself and fortifies his shields even as Mongul cracks through them. Things are under control, he thinks, until Kat jumps in front of Mongul. He watches in horror as she and Henry clash against Mongul, and then he can't quite help but loose his cool.

Screaming out Kat's name, Avalon lets loose a rather draining blue blast of force at the yellow alien. Even if the blast affects Mongul, it's probably too late for him, Mongul smites rather well.

	Mongul's rings are nearly depleted, but that only fuels Mongul's desire to see his enemies fall. Mongul will attack Katima next, raising both arms to bring them down on her. He hopes to beat her down and move on to the human, and finally the Green Lantern. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She had moved too quickly to put herself in Mongul's way and so when he brings down his arms, she cannot dodge. He gets a direct strike and she cries out, momentarily dazed before she makes a massive green fist and strikes back, but it's clear she's been dazed and a bit of blood runs from her ear.

	Henry plans to give her time to recover, no matter what it takes. He moves in front of Kat, getting directly in Mongul's face, and he sends a punch towards Mongul's jaw, as hard as he can, even if it means he'll break his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
