BL prepared to get his shopping done and over with. He clung to the shadows like a ninja, doing excessive rolls and dives to avoid being noticed by his fellow teammates. He hit up EBGames first, donning a lightbent disguise to hide his persona, and left with a massive bag which he hid in a pocket dimension for safe keeping. Next, he found a store that sold Penny Arcade t-shirts, and bought Nightmare an amazing Merch shirt.
'That was a close call, I almost didn't buy the Merch merchendise. And that would have been very, very bad. Just in case the Fleshreaper really does exist...'
Upon returning to the tower, he locked the door to his workshop and came out several hours later with a package the size of a laptop in his hand.
'I have done it! I have successfully made the ultimate game system through modifying the operating system and changing some hardware around. Nightmare will soon be able to play every game ever created because this nifty machine senses a new or classic game and in a matter of microseconds downloads the consol operating program off the internet.
Plus we now know something we did not know before. To quoth the merch, "I fucked your dad!"'
----------------------------------------- Penny Arcade is my fourth life after my first one and world of warcraft and sluggy freelance.

Damn walked through Headbanger’s Mall, just brushing past a hurried man in a dark trench coat. Normally he would have found the behavior suspicious, but his mind was preoccupied with more important things.
‘Let’s see, what should I get Alice?’ Damn thought to himself as he strolled through the mall, Force’s aggravations now gone thanks to a few random threats.
As Damn walked past the CD section of the store, something on one of the isles caught his eye. He walked over to get a closer look and saw that it what had caught his eye was the newest Godsmack album.
Damn picked up the CD and began to read the label, ‘Hmm, The Other Side...I don’t think she has this one. Wonder what else is around here.’ Damn looked around a little more and as he made his way closer to the beginning of the isle he saw it. He saw the perfect gift. ‘No way, I’ve been looking for one of these forever.’ Damn reached over and carefully lifted the CD, as if he was afraid to break it. He carefully reread the front to make sure he was right and then he carefully added it to the other disc. ‘Yep, that’ll work. The Breaking Benjamin So Cold EP. I haven’t been able to ever find a copy of one of these. I want it for myself, but I know for a fact that Alice loves this band more than any other.’
Damn walked a little more through the store before he made it to the clothing section. ‘Why not?’ he thought to himself, ‘There's got to be something around here in the girls section I should be able to buy without looking weird while I buy it.’
Damn walked a little more and came across a rack of hoodies. After a little searching he found blank black hoodie that looked just right. Gathering his things he made his way over to the check out counter and rang the little bell.
Moments later he was greeted by a familiar face. “Dude, glad to see you back.” Dave said with a grin. “What can I do for ya?”
“Hey Dave, I just came to buy these.” Damn said setting his items on the counter, but stopped when he noticed an advertizement for embroidery. “Hey, you do customized logos and stuff on clothing?” Damn asked.
“Yeah, Dude. We do just about anything. What would you like?”
Damn thought for a moment before looking down at the hoodie. “Do you think you could put a word on the front of this hoodie?” Damn asked.
“Sure thing man, what would you like on it?” Dave replied.
“Do you think you could put “Firefly” across the front of it in red letters?” Damn asked
“Yep, any type of style lettering you’d like?”
“I don’t know, something cool. What would you recommend?”
Dave revealed a book from under the counter and began to show Damn the different choices, after a few moments Damn decided on a tribal style lettering that intertwined all the letters.
Dave took the order and took the hoodie into one of the smaller rooms. “It’ll take about ten minutes dude. I’ll hold your other stuff here if you want, and feel free to look around while you wait.” Dave said over his shoulder as he walked toward the room.

after an exhausting day full of dodging the other and searching for gifts the titans began to arrive back home at the tower.
Nightmare, getting back shortly after Blue Lantern, somehow got into a game of Uno with Kyle.
"Uno." Nightmare grunted.
Kile who had a vain throbbing in his temple from concentrating put down his card, a green one.
Nightmare glanced down and placed a red one.
Kyle squawked in surprise and began dancing around in an angry frenzy.
"How many times has he lost?" Asked Blue Lantern staring at Kyle as he huffed in anger and flopped down for another round that Nightmare grudgingly accepted.
"Ninth times i think. And we have only been playing for fifteen minuets."
Kyle Squawked in defiance. Nightmare only roled his eyes. "OK thirty minuets, the point is you've lost this pointless game every time. Can we call it quits."
Kyle huffed indiginently and passed a look that could be as close to a sly smirk as a peguin gould acheive.
"Afraid? Yes, I am deeply mortified of your gamming prowless." nightmare shot back at the penguin.
So the game continued and Nightmare won again... and again... and again...
Finaly Kyle threw down his cards and started to squawk at nightmare in angry tones.
"Now im a cheater." He roled his eyes again.
"We're back!"
"About time, one more game with this guy and i would have to comptenplate my own sanity." Nightmare grunted as Damn, Alice, Zelda and Force walked in.
Sudenly the alarm blared.
"Bloody hell." Nightmare groaned

BL came charging into the room, oddly enough not fully charged and ready.
"Ready guys?" He asked the assembling team, while seeming to take a while to charge himself. Once ready, it was almost as normal, and the team flew into battle as always.
"I've got a bad feeling about this..." Zelda remarked.
"It'll be fine!" BL said calming her down.
They set down near the scene of the crime and met their opponent face to face. It was a new villain, boasting a shiny new battle suit sporting claws and knives and guns wearing a cowboy hat.
"Oh my." Bl quipped. "It's my new cheese grater come in from down south."

Force dodged a blast as Blue Lantern powered his ring from behind a chunk of asphalt.
“Ya’ll can run, but ya’ll can’t hide from Merk!” Shouted Merk as his suit began to reload itself. “This thing’s got thermal vision, motion detectors, the works!”
Blue Lantern blasted Merk with a beam of blue energy, destroying one of the shoulder mounted guns that had been firing at Force.
Merk uncoiled a giant cable from the back of his suit and launched it at Zelda, wrapping it around her. Zelda responded by sending an electrical current back through the cable to Merk, who absorbed it to power one of his plasma rifles.
Merk lifeted Zelda in the air, but was stopped by a giant black claw. Nightmare ripped the machine’s cable off and proceeded to advance on Merk. Merk responded by firing wildly at Nightmare with everything in his arsenal. A cloud of smoke surrounded Nightmare as the barrage of fire continued, but it was stopped abruptly by a black wave of energy.
Merk turned to see Damn standing behind him with a sword so black it seemed to suck in the light around it. As Merk turned to attack, his shoulder mounted weapons began to fall off his suit.
Before Merk could find which weapons were and which weren’t damaged, he was knocked into a wall by a now angry black demon.
The team regrouped in the middle of the street and slowly advanced on Merk.

As the team slowly made their way to the villain, they were knocked back by a shockwave of energy. Merk rose from the rubble as his suit began to remake itself around him, form-fitting to his body like an exoskeleton.
Before the Merk could finish reforming, Force attacked him feet first with a kick. Merk stumbled back, but responded with a kick of his own to Force’s chest, knocking him across the street into the building.
Merk walked forward, but the others stood their ground. Zelda powered up another blast as Damn encased his fists with dark matter, and Nightmare prepared to attack as Blue Lantern powered up his ring once again.
Force stumbled from the rubble and took a fighting stance next to Damn.
They all attacked at once, Nightmare jumped forward and was knocked back by an energy punch to the chest. Zelda blasted a large bolt of energy that was deflected by the newly reformed suit.
Force got a running start and ducked Merk’s first swing, grabbing onto his arm and swinging a foot around and connecting with Merk’s head.
As Merk stumbled sideways and flung Force off his arm, Damn slammed both his fists into Merk’s stomach, causing him to reel back. But Merk carried the momentum back with him and brought both his fist down toward Damn, just missing him by enough to knock him away with a shockwave instead of a direct blow.
Merk looked around and watched as all the others regained their stature, but noticed that Blue Lantern still stood infront of him, not yet having attacked....

"Nice suit." BL said, standing ready.
"Thank ye kindly pardner." Merk replied. "Now watch it in action!"
Merk leaped towards the BL who met him head on with a blow strong enough to make anything not bolted down get knocked over. BL flickered once and grimly realized what was happening.
"Whats the matter, tough guy? Too weak?"
BL knew what was necessary and what would most likely happen. He lowered his head in solemn defeat and clenched a fist, summoning every ounce of rage bestowed upon him by ancestry, calling from the depths of the lantern core an ancient power that had never been seen before. A light so bright it seemed to make the world go reverse color schemes emanated from his hand, flickering more sporadically now.
"Block this you dirty [censored][censored]." BL shouted, starting a slow run at Merk, who gladly did the same.
With the distance between them approaching nothing, time for all the titans seemed to slow to a standstill, as if in waiting for that which was about to happen.
But no one could have foreseen what happened next. It is wondered what would happen when an unstoppable object hits an immovable force.
Blue Lantern's ringed fist traveling at speeds faster than light itself meeting an energy infused superstrong alloy armor is the closest anyone in the universe should ever want to come to knowing that answer.
BOOM!
The result, although not pretty, was evidently effective. Merk was sitting unconscious in a wall a block away, still glowing form excess lantern energy and a suspicious light blue energy form was rumored ot have left the area.
BL, unmoved from the blast epicenter shocked everyone by not rising to his feet. The teens were further shocked when upon rushing to his side he was crying.
He refused to answer their attempts at calming him.
"I've lost it," he muttered. "It's gone."
When he finally rolled over they saw clenched in his fist the answer too all their questions. He was holding the shards of the ring. Cold and lifeless they sat in his hand.
The question no one dared ask, but they all were wondering:
"Is the Blue Lantern gone?"
TO BE CONTINUED
