[David Lance POV]
As Dinah drove to our destination, where one Batwing would be waiting for us, I hacked into the satellite sight to see what was happening up there. On display on my computer screen, I saw battle unfold in a violent crash of lights, the Green Lantern Corps Vs. The Yellow Lantern Corps, who were aiding Superman.
The Green Lanterns had even brought a planet to fight, a whole planet.
As the seconds went by, I could see the battle stretching up thinner and thinner. It was clear that Superman and the Yellow Lanterns wanted to break the Green Lanterns' formation by bringing them into the earth, where they would be forced to hold back in order not to hurt any humans.
They knew that most Green Lanterns would not fight back if that meant hurting others, even if the one hurting the innocent wasn't directly them.
The situation wasn't looking all that well so far.
"We have arrived," Dinah said as she parked the car.
I nodded, jumping out of the car as I followed Dinah to the Batwing. The time had come to face Superman. Even with all this preparation, I still felt my heart heavy and a lump forming in my throat with each step I took as I approached the Batwing.
Quickly enough, we both got into the Jet and took off.
Our destination now was Superman.
Which, according to satellite data, would take us less than a minute to reach.

[Unknown POV - On Earth]
Hal Jordan had always prided himself on being a man without fear. But in the face of uncertainty and defeat, even the bravest man can falter. When Sinestro offered him a yellow ring as he was about to plummet to his death, Hal didn't hesitate to put it on.

[Superman - Kal-El - Injustice POV]
As I pushed myself back to my feet, the world around me was nothing but a blur of light and sound. I could barely make out the two figures of those who had attacked me as they fell into the ground.
Angered beyond measure, I tried to move, but with each step, I found myself struggling to not fall, as if walking was now a Herculean feat. It was as if the very air around me was pressing down on me.
The pain in my ears was unbearable, unlike anything I had ever experienced. It felt as though his head was being split open, first Ganthet and then that mysterious man. If Ganthet hadn't attacked me, I would've dodged that attack, killing that pest before he could understand the gravity of his mistake.
And even if I hadn't been able to dodge it for any reason. The attack would've done considerably less damage.
I needed time to recover.
A few moments without interruption would do, giving the sunlight enough time to heal my wounds.

[Sinestro - Injustice POV]
One moment the green light of Ganthet's willpower had struck Superman down back to earth, when all of a sudden, the earth trembled under a new attack that blasted Superman into the ground, devastating the entire desert without measure.
The attack had destroyed everything in its path, leaving behind only destruction.
As strong as the Kryptonian was, I had my doubts he could take many of those hits before perishing. If I wanted my revenge against the Guardians, I would need to lend him a hand. Be that as it may, I would not risk my neck against an unknown with such destructive power without some recon.
I would let my newest Yellow Lantern do that for me. Once he had the threat occupied, I would come in and save the Kryptonian, gaining his favor.
"Hal, Superman needs our help!" I stated, giving Hal a look of feigned concern. "You need to help him! In the meantime, I will try to keep Ganthet occupied!"
Nodding, Hal Jordan took off into the air, flying toward Superman's location at full speed.
I smiled as I watched him go. Good.
If I played my cards right, Hal Jordan could become the perfect tool. He was a fool, but a powerful one, that much I could admit. All I needed to secure this opportunity was to move a few pieces here and there, and I would ensure that he remained, well, yellow.
