Testing some Green Water
Date of Scene: 20 July 2021
Location: John Stewart's Loft: Metropolis
Synopsis: John Stewart is given an unexpected visit by the Foot Clan, and finds himself subdued and kidnapped!
Cast of Characters: Shredder, Green Lantern (Stewart)




Shredder has posed:
    The Foot has a lot of operatives, and now that the Shredder has established a good source to gain mutants who are willfully in his control, it's time that he sought some more sources of power. The feats of the Green Lanterns in the world have hardly been outside of his notice, but gaining access to one is a little hard to do safely.

    It's a good thing the Foot clan isn't concerned too greatly with safety. They are concerned with secrecy, though. And so it is here in the middle of the night that they make their way to the loft.

    Koya carries two assassins, their scarlet and gray uniforms different from most of the other Foot. The mission is not so designed for fighting, but they are the best the Foot has to offer if it comes to that. The mutant falcon silently drops them on top of the loft, one male figure, the other female. They roll quietly as they strike the roof, having achieved their target location.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
The problem with trying to deal with Green Lanterns in general is that their rings are literally one of if not THE strongest weapons in the universe. That's not boasting, that's an established fact that most of the galactic community agrees on. There's a reason why wars between Lantern Corps are considered terrifying to be near.

It's actually very easy to deal with a Power Ring user if you know how, and have a bit of luck. Another problem for their enemies is the Green Lanterns are very aware of these weaknesess as well and work to compensate for them early in training.

The loft isn't much. A large six room complex with a balcony on the bedroom, getting into the foyer or the bedroom itself is easy enough for operatives like the Foot clan. It's not like John is a security expert.

No... the problem will be managing to get that Power Ring on his nightstand next to his bed... and finding the power battery hidden in the loft. Not only is the battery cloaked, but it's in a safe somewhere inside...

And do that all without waking John up.

Shredder has posed:
    Of the tools that are at their disposal, fear is one thing that the assassins do well, but unfortunately for them, they don't know about that weakness. The female drops down, a diamond cutting claw scratching around the window's pane. The male pulls out a small device, checking for a security current before they unlock the door, and if they find one, they place a bypass by the door to complete the signal as the door opens, creeping into the loft. They don't speak from here, but silently, the two enter, and systematically, they begin to cycle their way around opposite ends of the bedroom, checking it first even though John may be already sleeping right there.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
John is in fact sleeping in the bed. He occasionally snores and moves. He's not an 'out like a light' sleeper. Probably from his marine days.

The Power Ring on the nightstand glows just faintly in the darkness, just outside of 'sleeping John' range.

The rest of the apartment is just as dark and open to intrusion.

Shredder has posed:
    The male ninja spots the ring first, moving over to examine it, not yet touching it as the two silently work their plan. The female notices the discovery soon enough, and joins him. A few hand signals are given to each other, given that they don't really know at all what to expect when they touch the ring.

    The female produces from her belt a small baseball sized container, reinforced titanium alloy with a digital lock on it. There is a slight click as the device opens, and she lowers it toward the ring to scoop it up, not planning to touch it directly.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
A few inches away from the ring the green glow around it suddenly brightens, and an alarm sounds through the roomm, originating from it.

John doesn't awake up immediately, it takes a moment for him to register the alarm itself. Clearly, he wasn't expecting anyone to break in. "What in the..."

Shredder has posed:
    The ninjas both stare at the alarming ring, having not anticipated the incursion. The female finishes scooping the ring into the container, while the male produces his own ring from his belt with a small syringe on it. It's a punch ring. He shoots his fist forward, trying to take the opportunity during the hero's waking moments to tranquilize him. The Foot still needs him alive if they are going to find anything out about how to use this device.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
The punch ring hits, but John still gets up, reflexes from over a decade ago kicking in as the marine training gets him up and out of the bed, staggering.

"Oh hell no..." John is in pajama boxers, and makes a groggy run for the woman with the box, having put two and two together.

It's practically a miracle he's not thinking clearly enough to summon the ring from the box... but then, he's probably dosed enough that the mental link was severed per protocol.

Shredder has posed:
    The pair don't wait for the sedative to fully take effect, and the woman throws a foot out at the incoming marine, aimed to meet his diaphram if he continues his charge toward her.
    Meanwhile, the male ninja leaps over the bed, and heads out the door to signal Koya to return for the extract.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
If he was just a marine, that punch ring would have knocked him out by now... but John isn't just a marine.

He's a Green Lantern; being one of the most willful people in the universe is a basic requirement to be chosen.

That foot is grabbed as John focuses, and he breathes hard as he tries to toss her against a wall.

Somehow, someway, John isn't going out immediately, like he should. He should be knocked out within seconds, and yet he had determination in his expression as he tries to get his ring back.

Shredder has posed:
    The Foot assassin flies, light enough oin weight that she's easy to throw, and she crashes into the wall, knocking a picture down. She isn't your average lightweight, though, and bounces back, rushing forward, feinting, and then dropping for a sweep at John's legs. The male comes back in, hearing the struggle, and he joins from the other side, a pair of shuriken flinging toward John from behind. The small black razor sharp discs are hardly lethal, but they are certainly not the most pleasant thing to have embed themselves in your back if they strike.

Green Lantern (Stewart) has posed:
If he was in top form, he could potential dodge those shurikens...

John is not in top form. There's a scream of pain as he overbalances from them in his back, and he goes tumbling to the ground, the metal forced out of him by leverage from the floor... and he goes down.

He's not out yet, but that shock to the system has him reaching out, the box the ring is contained glowing brightly as John frantically tries to order his thoughts to summon it.

Shredder has posed:
    The female ninja feels the ring rattle within, glances down at it, and realizes that this has to be finished immediately, or they are in a lot of trouble. She leaps upon him, stradling him and pulls a kunai from her hip. The small dagger is turned with the iron ring out, and she back swings it across his temple.

    And everything goes dark.
