Blade's Quarters – Space Station

Blade is asleep in his bed as he hears a strange voice.

Blade/Parallax (Groggy): Kat?

The Seeker appears.

Seeker: No such luck, sir.

Blade pops up and pulls a gun.

Blade/Parallax: Who the hell are you?

Seeker: I am the Seeker, guardian and keeper of the Axis of Time.

Blade/Parallax: So, what does that have to do with me shooting you right now?

Seeker telekinetically lifts the gun from Blade's hand.

Seeker: Listen, mighty Parallax! I sense that all reality is in great danger.

Blade/Parallax: Okay I'm listening. How do I stop this danger?

Seeker: Stop this you shall, but you can't stop it alone But an Emerald Knight will be needed for this mission.

Blade/Parallax: A Green Lantern.

Seeker: Precisely, build a ship, a strong one, and take it into space and I will do the rest.

Blade/Parallax: I will help.

Seeker: But be warned, great Parallax, you may not be whole upon your return.

Space Station Meeting Room – Space – Months Later

The Galaxy League is preparing for the maiden voyage of the Strarjammer.

Blade/Parallax: This is a proud day for the Galaxy League, as we prepare for the launch of the Starjammer. This ship is the first of many joint projects between the United Earth Defense Force and the Ranger Teams.

He shows the scematics and pictures of the ships.

Blade/Parallax: This combines Zord technology with Robotechnology. We hope to get the efficiency and precision of the Veritechs and Mechs and the spiritual aspect of Zord technology.

The hatch opens to reveal the ship.

Blade/Parallax: This member of the Green Lantern Corps and I have been selected for this test flight. We're just gonna take a trip around the block and be back soon enough. The scientist team will examine the scematics from our flight upon our return.

Blade and Ramses proceed towards the ship and they go inside.

Starjammer – Space Station Hangar

Blade and Ramses are at the controls ready to begin their flight.

Blade/Parallax: Beginning flight sequence.

Ramses: Check.

Blade/Parallax: Ignition….and launch.

The ship launches.

Blade/Parallax: Ramses, there's something that I need to tell you.

Ramses: What about, sir?

~*~

Time has passed and Blade has told Ramses about the mission.

Ramses: You mean to tell me, you spent months on building a ship based on a dream you had. I would just like to say off the record, sir, that that is the stupidest thing I've ever…

Blade points outside the window and they both see the Nexus.

Ramses (stunned): …heard.

Blade: Let's go Ramses. We're going right into it.

Ramses: Are you nuts?

Blade: Trust me. Prepare for light speed!

They speed into the nexus. They are inside, and it's shaking the ship.

Ramses: We're shaking apart, sir! I don't know how much longer we can hold out!

Blade/Parallax: Use your ring! It should help!

He uses his ring to encase the ship in a Green Bubble.

Blade/Parallax: It seems to be working, but the ship is still shaking apart. I'll magnify the power of the ring.

He uses the Parallax Power Staff. He zaps Ramses ring and amplifies it's power. They get through the Nexus.

Austoros – Daytime

The ships lands on the surface of Austoros. The door opens, and they walk out.

Ramses: We're stuck here. How are we going to get home?

Blade/Parallax: We'll get home.

Ramses: What are we doing here, anyway?

Blade/Parallax: Saddle up, Cowboy. We're gonna save all reality.
