Once on Ysmault, Hal, Walker and Warth discover Sinestro, but are ambushed by the Red Lanterns. Jordan is captured and Atrocitus allows Laira to kill him, but the former Green Lantern resists and is able to plead for help. After rescuing Sinestro, the Blue Lanterns begin to leave, but Jordan wants to go back for Laira. It is then learned that removing a Red Lantern ring will kill its owner. Sinestro then kills Laira to save Jordan. In a burst of outrage, Jordan prepares to carry out Sinestro's death sentence himself, against the wishes of the Blue Lanterns. The rage that Jordan feels draws Laira's red ring to him, converting Jordan into a Red Lantern, though the last panel shows Jordan wearing both a red and green ring.
