I didn't want to admit to myself how scared I was. I was afraid I'd have to give up my Green Lantern career -- and that's what gives meaning to my life. Without the danger -- the constant challenge -- I'd be bored to insanity! I'm so happy I could even eat Ollie's Chili.

Synopsis for "My Ring... My Enemy!"

Green Lantern and Green Arrow fight the mysterious Professor Ojo of the League of Assassins. Ojo has constructed a gigantic eye robot hovering over Star City and attacking the two heroes. Green Lantern's ring isn't working, so he is forced to travel to Oa and have it repaired by the Guardians of the Universe. Meanwhile, his replacement Guy Gardner fills in for him on Earth, and teams up with Green Arrow. The Guardians explain to Hal that his power battery is fundamentally flawed, and must be replaced before it malfunctions dangerously and someone is hurt. They give him a new one, and tell him to safely dispose of the old one. Back on Earth, Guy Gardner defeats Ojo's creation with a blast from his ring, and goes back home to recharge. Unfortunately, just before Hal can get back in time to warn him, there's an explosion from the power battery and Guy completely vanishes.
