Tanner was sitting down on a bench by the sea, enjoying the view, one that did not appear back in the west. He was currently on his Knight side, and the Cowboy was getting bored. ''Pardner, come on, I feel like going to the Saloon! ''Tanner shook his head to get the Cowboy to stop.

"Truly, a sight such as this is a rarity, and must be appreciated." Seeing a strange glare in the corner of his vision, Tanner looked over the water. Something was glowing. Something...green?

''Hey, Knight, are you seeing this? ''"Aye, cowboy, and it doth appear suspicious." Suddenly, the bright green light zoomed...towards him?! Hit the sand! Tanner dove for the sand as the green light zoomed over him, rolling and pulling out his weapon in sword form.

"Halt! Who goes there?!" Tanner looked around, until he saw the green light glowing in front of him, but it was a...a lantern. Walking up to it, Tanner reached a hand towards it. Immediately, he heard a loud voice, seemingly coming from inside his own head.

"TANNER ARTHEN, HUMAN OF SECTOR 1105.

YOU POSSESS THE ABILITY OF GREAT WILLPOWER WITHIN YOU

THE GUARDIANS OF OA HAVE DEEMED YOU WORTHY OF JOINING THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS."

Suddenly, the voice faded, and Tanner looked over at the lantern, seeing a floating ring inside of it.

''Hey, Knight, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Indeed, Cowboy. We have been granted a power beyond imagining, and therefore must control it for good. ''Tanner reached over and grabbed the ring. It seemed to radiate a sense of justice.

Tanner put the ring on.

It was like a thousand motion pictures played out in his head at once. Tanner saw creatures, of many shapes and sizes, wearing the rings. He saw them breathing underwater, and in the far reaches of space. He saw them materialize weapons and things far beyond his imagination. He saw them fighting for good and justice, on many different planets with many different beings.

Tanner opened his eyes. He was unaware that he had closed them. Looking down, however, he noticed a large change. His normal clothing had gone. He wore an emblem on his chest, a mirror image of the one on the ring. He wore a cowboy duster, green, reaching down to his knees, and medieval gauntlets in his hands. On his head, he wore a knight's helmet, which he realized that he could turn into a cowboy's hat when needed. Looking at the ring, a strange force came over him, and he put the ring to the lantern, reciting words he never knew were real, the voices of the Cowboy and Knight merging.

"In Brightest Day, in Blackest Night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might,

Beware my power--GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"

Yelling those last words, Tanner stood on the sand. Suddenly, he started floating. All the knowledge of how to use this new power were inside him already. The knight and the Cowboy were one. They were a Green Lantern. Using his ring, Tanner materialized himself a pegasus construct.

"This power seems unlimited." The voice of the cowboy and knight were merged, resulting in a duet of dialogue. "I shall have to experiment further." Looking up to the skies, Tanner noticed more lights falling. Seeing that the pink light was closest, Tanner used the power of the ring to fly over, amazed at his new ability.
