(Brief Recap)
Looked up in fear to see it was his ever faithful stalker.
"Tobi," Darren gasped in fear.
"Your mine now my love," Tobi cooed, "and now it's finally time to create silence."
"No," Darren shouted struggling in his grip as he was floated even higher into the sky.
"Wally!"
(End Recap)
(General POV)
"Darren…Darren"
Said Green Lantern groaned to himself tiredly. He didn't feel like moving any part of his body due to exhaustion.
"Darren…get up…we have work to do"
With those words Darren slowly started to return to the land of the living. His eyes flickered open as he tried to observe his surroundings.
Darren started to move himself up but was stopped. His eyes snapped open as his unconscious state fully left him. Immediately, he found himself struggling with some kind of bond on his arms and legs.
"It's no use Darren," an amused voice said to him, "struggling like that won't do you any good, none at all."
"Let go of me Tobi," Darren demanded still struggling with whatever bonds that was on him.
Right now all Darren could see was that they were in a large office of some kind with gigantic windows observing the city.
"What's holding you are laser rings," Tobi informed him, "they are utterly impenetrable, at least for someone without powers anyway."
Looking over to his side, Darren did see that he was indeed being held onto a wall with these rings on his hands and feet, they looked impermeable.
"What are you up to?" Darren asked frantically.
Darren desperately wished he had his ring with him. He was sure he could break these rings in a millisecond, but he can't. Right now Darren is just a regular boy with only normal people abilities.
Tobi sighed heavily to himself. Calmly he walked over to Darren so that he was standing right in front of the young Green Lantern.
"What I've always been up to," Tobi told him softly, "to have the both of us use the Ring of Silence together."
"I will never-"
Darren was quieted by Tobi bringing both of theirs lips together. Tobi had his hand on Darren's neck as he softly kissed him.
Muffling in protest, Darren tried desperately to move away from the kiss but it was futile.
After a while, Tobi finally freed Darren from the kiss allowing him to breathe again.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice my love," Tobi shook his head at Darren somewhat sadly, "today must be our day of glory."
"I don't want glory," Darren protested adamantly, "I don't want anything you will give me."
"Let me guess, you just want that annoying little running kid Mini Flash," Tobi questioned kid, right?"
"His name is Kid Flash," Darren corrected angrily, "and he is twice the man that you will ever be."
Impulsively, Tobi reached up and slapped Darren across the face.
Tobi's eyes widened as he realized what he'd done.
"Oh, I'm so sorry my love," Tobi apologized as he saw the red mark that was developing on the young Green Lanterns face, "I would never want to hurt you."
"You already hurt me," Darren told him simply not paying attention to the slap in the slightest, "you hurt me when you attacked Wally."
"He deserved it," Tobi snapped losing his calm nature, "he had no right to put his filthy hands on you."
"He's my boyfriend," Darren proclaimed, "he has every right to put his hands on me and us them them whatever he wants."
If this was a different situation Darren would be blushing up a storm at the words he just said.
"No he doesn't," Tobi denied frantically, "don't you see? Only me and you belong together Darren. We are meant to be the bringers of silence."
"Where are you getting that it has to be the two of us," Darren demanded, "I read about the Ring of Silence there is no prophecy or commandment saying that it has to be the two of us. This doesn't make any sense."
"I don't need any prophecy to tell me that the two of us are mean to be," Tobi answered, "I felt it from the first moment I felt you."
Felt me? Darren blinked at those choice of words.
Tobi nodded answering Darren's silent question.
"Yes felt you. You see, it all started when you got your ring."
(Flashback)
Tobi had just returned from the hiding spot of the Ring of Silence.
"There has to be some way to bypass that whole two or more Lanterns rule," Tobi thought to himself as he flew back to earth.
Tobi absolutely did not want to join with another person in order to utilize the ring of silence. He thought that sharing the power would be a waste of his time.
Just then, he felt a great deal of power being released at one time. Tobi sensed that this power surge was coming from earth.
Slyly flying down to earth, careful to conceal himself in the sky, Tobi vaguely saw one small figure with a Green Lantern ring. He seemed to be fighting off the Yellow Lantern Sinestro with a unique energy construction style.
This person, who he could at least tell was a teenager, was intriguing him. Tobi could still feel the surge of power from his ring and it made the Blue Lantern gain an interest in him.
Tobi made a note to look into the boy more.
Thankfully for Tobi he didn't have to wait long as Darren took off for space that very same day.
Discreetly, Tobi followed them, his blue light shining in the distant like a star. At the decreased amount of distance between them Tobi was able to get a good look at the boy. He was fairly attractive, even though he had average features, but that's not interested him the most.
What pulled Tobi closer in obsession was the look in his eyes. It was the look that only someone with a creative soul could have, someone that wanted to try new thing but wasn't quite ready to yet. He just needed a push in the right direction.
Tobi decided he would be that push this boy needed, if only to find out more about him.
Later, while spying on the boy on Oa, he learned the young Green Lanterns name to be Darren Hill, the son of another Green Lantern.
Tobi felt as if he had to contact Darren somehow, he felt that he needed to. Sneaking into a shop on Oa, Tobi stole someone writing tools and wrote Darren a letter displaying his interest in him.
(End Flashback)
"At that time I didn't think of you as a candidate for the Ring of Silence as I was still weighing my options," Tobi confessed, "but as time went on I began to see you as I was meant to perceive you, as my equal in my quest."
"I even changed my suit to match yours once I saw the style you made for yours," Tobi told him gesturing to his suit for emphasis.
It took Darren a moment to recover from story about how Tobi discovered him. Just as Darren thought, it was as disturbing and creepy as he imagined.
"That power surge you felt was from my display of willpower," Darren informed Tobi, "as a Green Lantern my greatest power comes from my will to live, which is why my ring responded so positively to me. It's not because I am some unique force or anything."
Tobi shook his head and moved to gently rub his hand over Darren's face, much to the young Green Lantern chagrin.
"You are mistake Darren," Tobi denied, "it is our bond that attracted me to you. Stop denying our connection."
Darren internally sighed to himself realizing that he'll probably never get through to this insane boy.
"You might as well stop now Tobi because once everyone realizes that I'm missing they will come after you," Darren warned the Blue Lantern, "and they'll stop you."
Tobi chuckled in amusement.
"By the time they realize that you are gone it will have been too late," Tobi answered with a chuckle.
Tobi calmly walked over the desk on the very far end of the room and pressed a button on the phone.
"What is it?" a deep voice asked in a demanding tone.
"I'm leaving now," Tobi answered.
There was a brief moment of murmuring over the phone as if the speaker was consulting other people.
"Excellent," the deep voice finally replied.
"Is everything in order?" the deep voice questioned.
Who was Tobi talking to, Darren asked himself furrowing his brow in confusion. He didn't know that Tobi had allies. Who was crazy enough to help some insane teenager trying to destroy the entire universe?
"Yes," Tobi responded, "I have everything I need right here."
Darren did his best to avoid the heated look Tobi gave him.
"Then I recommend you get going then," the voice advised seriously, "you don't want the Justice League on you."
"No sir," Tobi denied, "but what about you? Won't they found out about how you helped me at the Lex Corporation party?"
Lex Corporation party? Darren eyes widened as he put two and two together. He should have known that Tobi was behind that somehow. Why didn't he see that before?
"Me," the voice laughed in a slightly mocking style, "don't worry about me boy, worry more about yourself."
Tobi silently gulped and decided not to ask for clarification on that. These people already disturb him enough as it is.
"Thank you for all the help you have given me," Tobi said gratefully, "I couldn't have done this without your help."
"No, no boy thank you," was all the voice said before it clicked off.
Tobi sighed before walking over to where he put Darren on the wall. Using his ring, Tobi slid Darren off the wall in a big bubble.
"We have to go Darren," Tobi told him.
Before Darren could even get a word out, Tobi slid open one of the windows and flew them out of the building.
"Where are we going?" Darren asked from inside his bubble watching them float higher and higher out of the earth's atmosphere.
Tobi looked back at him like he was insane.
"To the Ring of Silence of course," Tobi told him as if it was obvious.
"You don't have it with you?" Darren questioned.
Seeing as no books gave any location as to where the Ring of Silence was Darren just assumed that Tobi just kept it on hand.
Tobi shook head at him all the while focusing on guiding them where they needed to go.
"The Ring of Silence is on distant planet called Omis," Tobi said informingly, "it's in cave at the very center of the planet."
"And ironically," Tobi chuckled, "it's a planet that's not that far from Oa, in fact is practically next door to it."
Near Oa? Darren titled in his head in thought. He was thinking that maybe he could find a way to contact the Guardians but once again he had to remind himself that he doesn't have his ring.
I miss my ring so much, Darren said to himself sadly.
"Bet you wish you had this," Tobi reached behind his back and pulled out a Green Lantern ring, "don't you?"
Darren could feel it that was his own ring.
"How did you get that?" Darren demanded.
"Your father needs to learn to hide his valuables better," Tobi smirked, "but it's a good thing for me because we need it for later."
Darren just opted to grumble to himself in frustration for the rest of the journey.
In very little time, Tobi was able to fly the both of them to the shadowy and gloomy planet of Omis.
Darren had never seen such a depressing sight. The planet had no green on it and by the first glance it had a minimal water supply, if any at all. It doesn't look like anything could survive this place.
It was a very depressing planet.
Tobi set them down near the top of a gigantic mountain at the center of the planet. Darren could see that there was a small cave inside of it.
"Come on Darren," Tobi urged pulling on the bubble he still had the young Green Lantern incased in.
Tobi walked the both of them into the cave and stopped when they were a couple of feet within it.
Unsurprisingly the cave didn't have much room in it or much of anything in it, all that was in it was a gray book on the ground. The cave wasn't that impressive.
At least a first glance that's what all it look like.
"W-What's that," Darren trembled as he felt shaking from below them. It felt like a very powerful earthquake.
Tobi said nothing but just looked ahead.
Due to the earthquake the ground collapsed in front of the two of them.
Darren's eyes widened as he saw something rising up from the hole in the ground. It looked to be a small pillar that seemed to have something Darren couldn't see at this far a distance.
"Did you bring the boy," a voice suddenly called out.
Darren frantically looked but found no one around them.
"Yes," Tobi nodded, "this is the one I have chosen for us."
"Very good," the voice replied.
"Who are you talking to?" Darren asked Tobi cautiously.
Tobi chuckled at Darren's confusion.
"Why don't you look a little closer," Tobi suggested, "I'm sure he wants to meet you face to face anyway."
Tobi walked the both of them close to the pillar so that they were in front of it.
Darren tensed as he realized what was sitting atop that small pillar. Colored gray and engraved with a symbol of two lower cased h's meeting each other was the weapon that Tobi had been raving about this whole time.
The Ring of Silence.
"Y-You're t-the R-Ring of Silence," Darren stuttered lowly breathing rate increasing somewhat.
"Yes I am."
Darren practically jumped as the ring answered back. He forgot for a moment that power rings could indeed talk.
"What do you want?" Darren managed to ask the power ring.
"I have but one wish," the Ring of Silence answered tonelessly, "to bring peace and content to a normally suffering universe."
"Peace and content?" Darren repeated in exasperation.
"Yes, that is my goal," the Ring of Silence replied.
Tobi nodded agreement.
"You're not going to be bringing peace and content to the universe," Darren denied adamantly, "your powers are made to destroy peace and content."
"As a human you are forced to live your life dealing with horrible hardships and pains," the Ring of Silence responded, "you have not experienced what true happiness is, I can give that to the universe."
"No you're not," Darren retorted, "you're just going to force your own belief of happiness onto to others without their consent. Sure life is hard for everyone, but it's those moments that make the good ones so much better."
Darren glared at the gray ring in front of him.
"I will never give up on life as it is," Darren swore, "never!"
Suddenly, the ring started to spark as if it was short circuiting.
Darren stared at the ring in confusion wondering what exactly he did to hurt it.
With a panicked look on his face, Tobi moved Darren so he was hanging the wall, via the laser rings, and being much farther away from the Ring of Silence.
Apparently that was all the ring needed to pull itself together because it stopped sparking and started to talk again.
"Begin the joining," the Ring of Silence ordered still in its toneless voice.
Tobi nodded grabbed the book from the far end of the cave. He then set Darren's ring just slightly in front of the Ring of Silence.
"Now to find the spell that will link us together," Tobi voiced aloud flipping through the pages of his book.
As he watched Tobi look for his spell, Darren felt he had to try and talk him out of this one last time. He couldn't give up.
"Tobi, why are you doing this?" Darren asked frantically, "you're a Blue Lantern, a member of the Blue Lantern Corps, you're supposed to bring hope universe not destroy it."
Tobi stopped looking for his spell to gaze up at Darren, his face portraying no emotion.
"I am not trying to destroy the universe," Tobi refuted, "I'm trying to save it from itself and I am not a member not a member of the Blue Lantern Corps."
"What," Darren raised an eyebrow at him, "then how did you get your ring?"
"The Ring of Silence," Tobi informed him as if that was the answer to everything, "it came to me in a dream. It saw how much hope I had for the universe, hope that one day it could change and bring in a new era. It proclaimed me as one of the greatest Blue Lanterns to ever exist, that my hope it unmatched by anyone!"
Tobi looked up at Darren pleadingly.
"I have seen and experienced so much pain and suffering in my life that all I had was my hope that someday it will all get better, that it will all change. The Ring of Silence has the power to do that Darren. It has the power to make the earth exactly as I'd hoped it would be for years, free from all the prejudice, hatred, and war."
"Don't you see Darren," Tobi smiled at the young Green Lantern insanely, "there can't be unequal treatment of unfairness of others if those things don't even exist. This is the way life should be, for everyone."
For once, since this entire thing began, Darren felt a twinge of sympathy of Tobi. He's probably not one of the only people in the world that thinks like this. In fact, he's most likely in a large majority of people.
"You can't just give up Tobi," Darren softly told him, "you have to keep pressing on and moving past your hardships. Don't let life beat you down, fight it back. You can win if you try."
Tobi shook his head and continued to flip through his book.
"It's far too late now," Tobi answered stopping a specific.
"I found it," Tobi answered.
"Tobi don't," Darren pleaded.
Tobi didn't listen to him, he just began chanting in an alien language.
"Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla, Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla, Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla…"
Darren felt the ground began to shake again. His heart race started to increase rapidly.
The Ring of Silence, and both Darren's and Tobi's rings began to glow brightly.
"Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla, Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla, Ahkem dealoa pareko wearla!"
As Tobi started to chant faster, Darren felt his breathe starting to slow. He felt as if he was losing himself.
Darren eyes lids became heavy and soon he started close them. However, before they closed completely, he could have sworn he saw a familiar red and yellow suit coming toward him.
"Darren no!"
