War of the Light Part II is the twelfth Episode in DC Universe Online which continues the conflict in Metropolis as well as the investigation of the prismatic mists. This also introduces the Star Sapphire Corps and expands upon Larfleeze and the Orange Lanterns (Who previously appeared in the Season's Greedings seasonal event).
Summary
In the core game, Green Lanterns and Sinestro Corps agents first came to Earth when their rings began to fail. They began fighting with each other, assuming their arch rivals were responsible.During the Fight for the Light episode, it was revealed that the true threat to the emotional spectrum is Brainiac, who has drained the emotional spectrum, turning all emotion into logic. The entities themselves were trapped in huge Logic Lanterns that Brainiac constructed to contain and transform them. The corps attack, and when these Logic Lanterns are destroyed, the corps think the entities are freed, and the victory is theirs.
Sinestro and Hal Jordan are some of the first fighters in the war to realize what has happened and, that if they do not work together, the Emotional Entities themselves will cease to exist and their light will die out…forever.
The stakes are high, which is why the Star Sapphires and the Orange Lanterns enter the war. How will the leaders of each corps save their entity from oblivion?
Tropes
- Ascended Extra: Larfleeze and the Orange Lanterns, who previously appeared in the Seasons's Greedings seasonal, now appears as an Antagonist.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Many of the female members of the Green, Red, Blue, and Sinestro Corps fall under this due to the Star Sapphires. This includes heroes and villains such as Zatanna and Harley Quinn.
- Oh, Crap!: Hal has this reaction upon seeing Zatanna under the influence of the Amethyst mist. Has an even bigger one upon seeing Wonder Woman under the same influence on Zamaron.
