Following the distress signals of nearby Power Rings, the Earth-based squad of Green Lanterns—consisting of John Stewart, Katma Tui, Arisia Rrab, and Kilowog—crosses paths with the surviving members of the Green Lantern Corps of Klyminade: Olapet, Flodo Span, and Driq.

In the midst of the battle, Driq suddenly reactivates to destroy Sinestro’s base, seemingly killing the villain. Before the Lanterns can confirm his status, the MadGod intervenes and sucks the entire assembled team into a black hole.
