Myster of the Star Sapphire

At Ferris Air, Carol Ferris is flying in a plane as some investors wait for her to land. Star Sapphire emerges and tells Carol that she no longer has a need for her. Apparantly, her ultimate mate, Hal Jordan, no longer "desires" Carol. Star Sapphire takes Carol away as her plane explodes. She says it is time to spawn.

At Edward's Air Force Base, Hal is enjoying a drink with fellow pilot, Cowgirl. They are discussing her recent discovery that Hal is Green Lantern. As they are bonding, the place explodes as Star Sapphire arrives. She accuses Hal of cheating on her. Cowgirl tries to stand up for a knocked down Hal. He puts a stop to it with his power ring joking that there's enough of him to go around. Hal sends her out of there. Cowgirl asks him who she is and Hal tells her an ex-girlfriend. He's not sure what she wants since Carol is married.

Hal wants to try to get the telepathic alien crystal out of her but Sapphire doesn't make it easy. She can detect that Hal has feelings for another, Cowgirl. The energy leaves Carol as Hal catches her and attaches itself to Cowgirl. As Carol comes to, she tells Hal she now knows what the Star Sapphire is. She says they come from Sector 1416. She also mentions the Zamarons and Sinestro.
