Synopsis:
In the wake of the nuclear explosion that he caused Green Lantern is surprised to find that he is still alive. He assumes that his enemy Legion must have been vaporized. Realizing his own inexperience, Hal asks his ring to take him to meet another member of the Green Lantern Corps. As he flies past the moon it appears that Legion has survived, and the villain begins following him.
The ring takes Hal to Sector 2813, where he encounters Green Lantern Tomar-Re. Tomar's ring informs him that Legion has been sighted, and together, they warp to Oa. There, Tomar explains the nature of the Guardians, and their struggle to keep order in the cosmos. They meet Salakk who declares that the three must consult the Book of Oa, regarding Legion's origins. The Book tells the story of the planet Tchk-Tchk in Sector 407, where over-population and conquest led the Guardians to lock the planet within in energy field until their desire to expand was quelled.
Tomar-Re explains that Hal will have to stay on Oa to train, rather than returning to Earth with his new-found powers. Hal, however, makes a request to appear at his friend Andy's funeral via green energy-construct, where he reveals to his brother Jack what has happened to him. Hal's ex-girlfriend Carol Ferris nearly sees him, but he disappears immediately.
For the next week on Oa, Hal is rigorously trained by Kilowog, until one morning he wakes to hear an alarm. Tomar-Re explains that the alarm hasn't sounded in a millennium. Oa has been breached by Legion.

Quotes:
"I was "new meat" once. I made my mistakes, put my foot in my beak. Every member of the Green Lantern Corps has a... past. But from the moment you put on that ring, you are a new being. And you can make everything right. If not to your friend... then to the universe."
- Tomar-Re
