Synopsis for "New Guardians, Part Three"

After being simultaneously chosen by all the rings of the emotional spectrum, Kyle Rayner assumes a never-before-seen hybrid form, incorporating the powers of all seven emotions into a single body. His uniform transforms, displaying the emblems and colors of each Corps. Faced with the Guardians of the Universe, the emotional pressure overwhelms him, causing him to release a wave of energy that knocks the Guardians back and unleashes chaos within the Oan Citadel. While some Guardians claim it is impossible for a human to endure such power, Ganthet acknowledges that Kyle is no ordinary human. Nevertheless, the rings begin to disengage one by one, unable to maintain the emotional fusion. Only the Green Ring and the Orange Ring remain.

Outside Oa’s atmosphere, Saint Walker is caught off guard by the sudden and aggressive arrival of the other New Guardians: Arkillo, Bleez, Fatality, and Munk, who accuse him of protecting the "ring thief." A space skirmish erupts, with Arkillo trying to kill Walker in retaliation for the death of one of his fellow Sinestro Corpsmen. Tensions flare among the members of the different emotional Corps until Munk intervenes, reminding them of their true purpose — to understand why the rings chose Kyle. He proposes they invade Oa as a united front, following Bleez's lead.

Inside the Citadel, Ganthet confirms that only the green and ā€œorangeā€ rings survived — the latter revealed to be Glomulus, who was never a ring at all, but rather an independent orange construct. The Guardians decide to capture the creature, assuming it is a spy sent by Larfleeze, the Agent Orange. Kyle tries to intervene, arguing that Larfleeze would never give anything away unless he had something to gain. In response, the Guardians decide to dissect Glomulus to investigate how it possesses sentience.

At that moment, the New Guardians launch a full-scale assault on the Citadel. Bleez strikes with furious rage. Munk, Fatality, and the others press forward, while Ganthet declares his intention to correct the mistake of ever founding the Blue Lantern Corps. He viciously attacks Saint Walker, claiming that his Corps should never have existed. During the battle, the Guardians remain cold and relentless, declaring that they feel neither fear nor any emotion. They fire powerful green energy blasts at all opponents, knocking them down one by one.

As the conflict reaches its peak, a new figure bursts through the Citadel’s ceiling: Agent Orange, proclaiming that everyone present belongs to him. He brings with him a legion of orange constructs — including beings such as Blume, Clypta, Grubber, and others. His arrival interrupts the Guardians' offensive, and he declares that both the rings and all combatants now fall under his ownership.
