Triumph!
The Green Lantern Corps) recover of their defeat against Krona) in Oa, physically and emotionally beaten. Hal Jordan) refuses to lie down and watch the universe die, and his determination motivates the whole Corps in joining him in one final battle, even though they might die. The Green Lanterns arrive at the rift between dimensions, where the Guardians of the Universe) are fighting Krona and Nekron (New Earth)). Krona summons his army of undead to fight the Lanterns. One among them, Tylot), refuses to serve Nekron any further, so he saves Arisia from one of Krona's minions, and Hal Jordan welcomes him to the Green Lantern Corps, giving him the ring of a fallen Lantern.
In the middle of the battle, Tomar-Re) sees the spirit of his father, summoned by Nekron to weaken him. This gives Hal and idea, a dire one at that. He enters through the rift to Nekron's domain. There, Hal sees the spirits of the fallen Green Lanterns, and he convinces them to rise against Nekron. With their master distracted, Krona and his minions now are pulled back and the Guardians close the rift. However, Hal Jordan is still in Nekron's dimension, and he knows that when his power ring shuts down, he will die. Right before passing out, Hal hears the voice of his predecessor, Abin Sur).
Hal then wakes up again surrounded by his comrades. With Nekron defeated, Tylot, being an undead, fades away, not without showing his gratitude toward his new friends and brothers. Back in Oa, the Guardians offer Hal Jordan a place as the Corps leader, but Hal declines, saying that he was just doing what any other Green Lantern would have done, and that he is just "one of the gang." Right afterward, the whole Green Lantern Corps recharge their rings at the reconstructed Central Power Battery, and they all recite Hal's oath in unison, showing their gratitude to the noblest Green Lantern among them.
