Yup, Nodoka's the Guy Gardner (comics, not animated series) to Nanoha's Hal Jordan.

Hal Jordan gets a yellow ring instead when they start recruiting.

Wait. Waitwaitwait.

I know that Nodoka is, objectively, a very brave person and qualified for Green Lantern.

What I don't understand is, why you compared her with Guy Gardner?

Canonically, Guy has 'second to Hal' issues because if he hadn't been a few miles farther away, he'd have gotten the ring instead of Hal.

Yeah, but this is Guy Gardner. The guy who challenge fistfight with Batman because his ego is too big for his head, and subsequently lose, while using his Ring. Nodoka, while brave, will eat her own shoes before taking a fight she knows she can't possibly win. But she will take it if her friends can only be saved if she intervened, while making every precautions she can to make sure her survival.

Except you counting her loyalties to her friends, there's no way she compared to Guy Gardner.

Except this irony things?

You're… taking the analogy too far. Look, she was second choice, that' small it means.

And in Guy's defence, he's become somewhat more badass since his JLI days. tongue

And now, more Nanoha!

Green Lantern drove.

As she explained during the brief argument, besides being one of the people in the team who could survive oceanic depths, she was also qualified to drive the new Javelin that they had put together (they were going to install the FTL drive that weekend). While it was airtight and space-proof, it wasn't necessarily water-tight and water-proof, a common misconception. And though Batman and Hawkgirl were qualified to drive it under instruments, the fact that they couldn't safely pressurize the Javelin's cabin pressure meant both would be having a really bad time of it. That left her.

The Javelin was very dark inside and outside as it dove down as deep as they dared into the black abyss of the ocean. The only illumination on board were indicator lights and Nanoha's glowing green aura. Everything was lit by its glow, although there really wasn't much to see. Even without the storm on the surface, they were too deep for light to penetrate down, hence the instruments. The windows, such as they were, showed only perfect blackness, the visibility not helped by the fact they had a light source in the cabin. Diana sat next to Nanoha keeping an eye on one of the monitors, one that traced the tracking beacon of the USS Defiant.

There was a groan of stressed metal.

“Sorry,” Nanoha said, her voice dissonantly bright and cheerful in the gloom as a holographic display appeared in the air to the side of her, showing a diagram of the Javelin. A part of the hull was highlighted. “Well, that's another point we're going to need to reinforce if we're going to be doing this on a regular basis. Although at this point it might be easier to just build a dedicated submarine.” A muscle tightened along Nanoha's jaw in concentration, and the highlight vanished. “There, all better.”

“It's kind of strange the ship isn't glowing,” Superman said. “I didn't think you could do that with your ring.”

Nanoha let out a low, mischievous laugh. “What, going dark? Oh, that's easy. It's basic stuff.” Her visor briefly went transparent on one side enough for them to see her blink. “Conveniently, however, most criminals don't know that.” She let out another mischievous and slightly smug giggle.

After all, you don't just drop an untested spacecraft and expect it to act like a submarine. Reinforcement is needed. And since they didn't have time for that…

Really, Green Lantern rings were convenient things.

Indeed. There's a reason why the Green Lanterns are the guardians. Their power is ridiculously versatile.

"The guy who challenge fistfight with Batman because his ego is too big for his head, and subsequently lose, while using his Ring."

That was author fiat. There is no way Bats should have been able to punch through a GL barrier.

Off-topic, but does anyone here read With This Ring? It's pretty much my favorite DC fic.

I thought Guy had taken the ring off for the fight? Or he at least wasn't actively using it. That was pretty early in Post-Crisis continuity, so I don't think the rings had been that wanked up yet as to have auto-barriers and all that.

It went like this: -Guy wanting to prove something challenges Bats to a fist fight -Guy passes his ring to Blue Beetle (Ted Kord). Ted just chucks the ring. -ONE PUNCH! -Guy later wakes up(mind you the JLI is on a mission and left Guy KO'd) and in mist of finding his ring, he bumps his head and that's how we got sickening sweet "Nice" Guy -And that was undone thanks to Lobo(I'm not sure he was apart of L.E.G.I.O.N at the time).

Oh. That wasn't the situation I was talking about.

I was talking about when John Stewart, Batman, and Guy where all in space for something, and Batman punched Guy for reasons. John was providing Bats with an air bubble.

SOME FUCKING HOW, Bruce could punch through Guy's envio shield, and Guy was knocked out.

While Guy is a prick let us not forget he does not have the call on speed dial, he has it chipped.

In commemoration of what is happening today:

The NASA staff at Cape Canaveral waited breathlessly for the first footage to arrive. Just hours before, the New Horizons satellite had begun its first close pass over the dwarf planet Pluto. In mere moments, mankind would have satellite footage of every major celestial body in the solar system.

There were some side bets going on as to whether or not they'd find evidence of life. Most people doubted it, but then again, conventional wisdom had also said that anything living on Mercury would be cooked alive, but Green Lantern was apparently in contact with the planet's owners, who had objected to their dropping MESSENGER on their heads. After that, people were forced to expand their understanding of what was a survivable environment.

The data started coming in. Everyone focused on the screens as the first detailed footage of the dwarf planet appeared. After a time, what looked to be a trench or canyon came into view.

"Doesn't that look unnaturally straight?" one man asked.

It was very straight, and on one end there was a half-loop. A few minutes later, a pair of trenches at right angles to each other was found next to it. Over the course of an hour, New Horizons showed a planetscape in which someone had carved a message to the Earth in, probably very recently.

PLUTO IS A PLANET

Random thought:

Despite the arrival of Superman, and multiple alien invasions, SETI, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, was still going strong, despite many arguing that they were no longer needed because, well, Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence had definitely been found. Repeatedly. They did so because their mandate, they argued, was not just to find life, but also to communicate with it, and they did not see an exchange of bullets and death rays to be proper communication. And as Lois Lane wasn't a member of SETI, Superman didn't count either, although they appreciated he was a really nice guy and very intelligent.

It was a matter of pride, in some ways. They had no intention of stopping until they had established communication, not Superman dropping by to say hi. It was the principle of the thing, darn it!

Then, one day, they heard it at last! A response! And it didn't sound like the 'surrender or be destroyed' variety, either!

Furiously, for weeks, scientists, mathematicians and linguists decoded the signal they heard. When that proved inconclusive, they swallowed their pride and asked Superman to take a look.

He listened, then, looking embarrassed, sheepishly scribbled something on a sheet of paper.

Stop bothering us. We don't want to talk to you. Cease and desist or we will be forced to take legal action.

So essentially, most Aliens Are Bastards .

Also, since you're gotten into RWBY, are you planning to integrate the characters as Puella Magi or something?

Most likely not, as I've mentioned something similar as Remnant has no distinct relation to Earth or even Sector 2814...With that being said, Shadow is writing a RWBY fic with various bits shown in that thread. Feel free to read it there.
