Synopsis for "Red Alert, Part 2 of 2"
In Paris, the Red Lanterns battle and defeat Shadow Thief. Guy tries to convince Ice to take him back, but she isn't ready to get back together as of yet.
Meanwhile, in the planet Groy, Bleez and Rankorr have been ambushed by Atrocitus, Dex-Starr and a new Red Lantern called Klarn that can absorb energy and shoot it back at its adversary.
A depressed Guy Gardner heads back to Ysmault followed by Zillius Zox and Skallox. As they are approaching the planet, their Rings alert them to the presence of several Green Lanterns in proximity to the Red Power Battery. Skallox thought that they are done with the Green Lantern Corps, but Guy is delighted with the chance to let off some steam with a good brawl, and he descends to meet up with Hal Jordan and proclaim loudly that 2814 is now the Reds' Sector.
Before both Lanterns can keep bickering or even come to blows, Guy notices his ex-partners are transporting inside a containment cell containing a Red Lantern he has never seen before.[1] Hal demands to know why Guy is making new Reds before revealing that particular Red is Kryptonian, though Guy Gardner is doing his own business at Earth, as he protests that he didn't do it and make any new Reds.
Guy is not thrilled at the possibility of getting Superman mad, because he and Hal are all done if they don't figure the situation out, so he tells Zox and Skallox get over there. Skallox is trying to determine whose red power ring belongs to its owner, while Zox explains Atrocitus made nine new Rings and sent them out to find bearers just before being kicked out of the Red Corps by Guy.[2]
Hal and Guy argue about the matter until Supergirl -who had been subdued until then- snaps when Guy Gardner mentions Superman. Kara shatters her restrains and fights them all, forcing all Lanterns to work together until they manage to hold her down and dunk her into the Blood Lake.
Back in Groy, Atrocitus looks like he is about to kill Bleez and Rankorr, along with Dex-Starr and Klarn. Rankorr tells his partner to run away while he hold Atrocitus off. Reluctantly, Bleez does so, promising to come back for him.
Sitting by the lakeside, Hal and Guy all wait for Kara resurfacing. They clear the air, and Hal agrees to entrust the protection of Sector 2814, which includes Earth, to the Red Lanterns, as well as sending Simon Baz to stay on Earth.
Finally Kara emerges, feeling awake and coherent, but as well extremely confused. She tells her name is Kara Zor-El and asks what has happened to her. Upon hearing her family name, Hal tells Guy he thinks Superman and that girl are family.
Guy doesn't look forward to explain Superman that his blood relative is now a Red Lantern. Anyways, Kara, thinking she has nowhere else to go, joins the Red Corps.
