Abin Sur flew his space-jet, struggling to keep consciousness as he was continuing to lose blood. But his space-jet was able to guide him towards Earth. Not exactly auto-pilot. But soon he was on Earth, heading towards Themyscira, the home of the Amazons. The natives were attending to their daily businesses. Some of them did their usual combative training. Some of them were building weapons and other objects. Some of them waded in the water. Suddenly, they could hear the sound of a space-jet flying towards the island. Once they got a better look, they noticed the ship belonged to a Green Lantern. And the jet looked like it could crash onto the island any minute! This was because due to his semi-unconsciousness, Abin Sur was unable to focus on landing safely. And thus, he crashed onto the island. This of course caught the attention of Queen Hippolyta. She and her crew walked over to the jet, weapons in hand. "My queen, what is that jet? Why does it look so otherworldly?" Donna, one of the younger Amazons, asked. "That is the jet of a Green Lantern sister," replied Hippolyta, "before your time, my sisters and I fought alongside a Green Lantern in battle against a common enemy. Why this one has come here, I am unsure. I hope he does not wish to fight us. It would be foolish to do so." 

The jet then opened, and Abin Sur came out, gasping for air. Hippolyta noticed the fatal wound. "Queen Hippolyta," he gasped, struggling to stand on his feet. "Abin Sur, it has been a long time," said Hippolyta as she did everything she could to help him. She had met him once, when he was still young. "You are greatly wounded," she observed, "you need medical attention." Abin Sur looked at her and said, "Steppenwolf... He invaded Oa... took the Mother Box... He's coming... Atlantis must be warned..." He was losing more blood. "Unfortunately Atlantis has sunken to the bottom of the ocean," Hippolyta sadly said, "and their newest king is a vain and arrogant madman known as Orm. He has a vast hatred for humanity, and will refuse to help us against this war. Some might help, but he will hold them for treason if they do..." Abin Sur sighed, "that is most unfortunate. I am dying soon... I must find a successor on this sector soon..."  His Green Lantern ring then lifted up in the air, and flew out of Themyscira to look for another suitable host. The Power Ring flew all over Earth.

Meanwhile at Coast City, Ferris Air pilot Hal Jordan was finished doing some test runs on another jet. He landed the jet and got off, saying, "Well that was a good day. Flying some jets, and nothing went wrong. I don't know about you guys, but I could go for some hot wings and beer. Who's with me?" Suddenly, a green ring came out of nowhere, looking at Hal. Hal looked at the ring, confused, and asked, "what the hell?" The ring scanned him, and then lifted him up, surrounding him in green energy. The ring then flew him out of Ferris Air. "What's going on?!?!?!?!?" Hal shouted, confused as he was flying away from Coast City. For a few minutes, Hal was flying around Earth until he landed in an island. Hal looked around, confused. There were tons of women in clothes that looked like something out of Ancient Greece. And with them was an alien with magenta skin and a uniform of green, black and white. The ring landed on the dying alien's hand. "Whoa, is this a dream, or is this real?" thought Hal as he looked at Abin Sur and the Amazons. Abin looked at Hal and said, "You... state your name..." Hal looked at him and said, "Uh... my name's Hal Jordan... Who are you and where am I? And why did that ring lift me into an island full of beautiful women that look like they want to kill me?" One of the Amazons, Artemis, grunted, not amused by the man's comments. "I am Abin Sur..." replied the dying alien,"you are on Themyscira, Hal Jordan. The Green Lantern ring has chosen you to become my successor as the new protector of Sector 2814... You possess the greatest of willpower... and the ability to overcome fear... put on the ring, and speak the oath... protect your sector from Steppenwolf..." Abin Sur breathed his last breath, succumbing to his wounds, and died. 

"Did he just...?" Hal asked. "His wounds were too great to save him Hal Jordan," said Hippolyta, "take the ring, and honor his legacy." Hal looked confused and said, "I would, but... What's the oath, and who the hell is Steppenwolf?" Donna found a scribe and the charging lantern from Abin Sur's jet and said, "I found the scribe that says the oath! And his charging lantern!" She gave it to Hal, and he said, "thanks. That's pretty convenient." He read the oath, and once he could easily remember it, he put on the ring on his right hand, placed the ring on the lantern, and then said... "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power--- Green Lantern's light!" Hal then felt this sensation that was almost cold cover his entire body from head to toe. The sensation wasn't painful, and pretty soon, Hal Jordan was wearing the same Green Lantern uniform as Abin Sur did. Hal looked at his new look and said, "Whoa, that is awesome. I know what I have to do now. Looks like we'll have to fix that jet. Anyone know how to fix a jet?" One of the Amazons raised her hand and said, "I do! I'm a mechanic!" Hal nodded, and they worked together to fix the broken space-jet. As for Abin Sur, he was given an honorable burial, his remains cremated. After the jet was fixed, Hal used it to fly out of Themyscira, saying goodbye to the Amazons so that he could fly back to Oa to meet his new team.
