#82 - This issue is mostly about Kyle getting to know Donna's son, but the highlight comes in the scene with three former Green Lanterns and the one current one sitting around a table reminscing about Hal. Kyle is simply in awe to be included in a group that includes Alan Scott, John Stewart, and guy Gardner. They tell him it's a responsibility, but to enjoy it while it lasts. When Kyle takes Donna's son to the zoo, all sorts of zaniness ensues. The tyke wanders off while Kyle is daydreaming and manages to get himself into the Siberian Tiger habitat. Kyle saves him and the two decide not to tell Donna about the adventure. In the end we see a person in shadows kill a Darkstar who just happened to be a former Green Lantern, hmmmm. . . could our hero be next?!?!?
#83 - After a hard day fighting crime, what's a superhero gonna do to relax? If you're Kyle Rayner you'd go to the local Disco Tech (that's the name of the club). Kyle has learned his lesson, and he's totally committed to Donna, but who's it gonna hurt if he dances with a beautiful woman with a fantastic body? She asks him to come with her, but he tells her no, and when he does, she flips a switch on her bracelet and her clothing changes completely into a no-nonsense Green Lantern killing machine named Fatality. Kyle can't use the ring to fight her, so he pretty much gets his butt kicked (again). Kyle gets the chance to change into costume and still can't get much done. She tells him that she is the last survivor her race because of something a Green Lantern did. Since that point she has tracked down and killed several Green Lanterns, and after she kills Kyle she'll kill more. But he is her big prize, the last one bearing a ring. When she learns that the old limitations are gone, she takes off. Kyle goes to the closest former GL he can think of to get some advice, but John Stewart tells him that he's made a big mistake coming to him first, becuase if she could find him, then she could probably find just about anything, including Kyle's battery. . .
#84 - Fatality tells Kyle that a Green Lantern was responsible for the destruction of her homeworld, and that since that point she has hunted Green Lanterns, hoping to destroy everyone. Kyle figures out that it was John Stewart who was responsible for the destruction of Fatality's homeworld, but he doesn't tell her that. At this point Kyle is trapped by Fatality and about to die when John Stewart confronts her. He doesn't know who she is, he doesn't know who he is, he's just trying to save a friend. John lets out some kind of Green power burst that stuns Fatality. He looks after Kyle and Fatality gets away, but the question remains, how did John let loose that power? The theory is that when Hal healed him (again in Parallax: Emeral Night), some of the power was left over and that's what the burst was. Kyle follows Fatality through space until she crash lands on some distant (inhabitable fortunately) planet. He begins following her, but his ring runs out of juice, just as he's dragged underwater by something that looks like it belongs in a trash compactor on the Death Star.
#85 - Actually, the trash compactor monster was tame compared to the thing that's after Kyle now. Kyle manages to defeat the creature, using some nearby bones as weapons. He finds Fatality's ship and discovers her trophy room, mementos from every GL she's killed, he also discovers that not just any battery will work, he needs his own battery, bummer. As he leaves the ship to try and find Fatality, she finds him first and jumps him. Kyle turns out to be a pretty good fighter in his own right, but Fatality is better. She's pretty much defeated him when she decides to gloat a little and pulls out the battery. At that moment she is grabbed by the thing that attacked Kyle earlier (or his brother, I don't know). Fatality refuses to give up the battery and is apparently killed by the monster. Kyle does manage to recover the battery and goes home, wondering how anyone could be as single minded as Fatality, refusing to listen to reason.
