He knew he was in deep shit.
His mission incomplete… utter destruction and chaos about to come to this world… weak… injured… he had a responsibility…
He sent out his will, and ordered his device to find a successor. And not just any, but the most powerful it could find... and bring them to him. He didn't have much time…
The enemy was upon him…
...
Takamachi Nanoha was having a perfectly average day. Get up, get dressed, admire how saccharinely close her family was, meet her friends at the bus, go to school, head home, hear mysterious voice calling her name…
Wait… that wasn't right…

Search parameters are highly subjective things. A difference in capitalization, spacing, any of uncountable little factors come together to really met up what you're looking for. Add things like the complexity of the parameters and the size of what is being searched, and you can get all sorts of weird results simply by miscapitalizing a letter.
He'd asked for 'most powerful'. Not 'oldest', not 'nearest', not 'most qualified', not best' or any of a number of other qualifiers that could have drastically changed someone's life. He'd asked for 'most powerful'.
The device did what it was told. It wasn't smart enough to think this might be a bad idea.

There'd been a big mess. There'd been little people who were annoyingly vague and obtuse. There's been a fairly sinister dark-clothed person who shot yellow energy. There'd been a minor moment of getting his ass kicked.
Superman was not happy.
Unfortunately, this was also a perfectly average day for him. Even the annoying all-powerful small people hadn't been anything new.

Sinestro felt vaguely ashamed of having to take the ring from what was so obviously a child. He momentarily considered not killing the whelp when he took the ring. Clearly, this was some sort of mistake caused by some sort of half-delusional instruction Abin Sur had given the ring his final moments. There was no need to be a complete monster. Yes, he'd show the child mercy.
He was still patting himself on the back at this decision to make a nice little gesture when a cry of "Nanoha Emerald Smasher!" sent him half-way back to the United States.
It only got more humiliating from there…

For the first time since they realized the Manhunters might not have been such a hot idea, the Guardians were having second thoughts on an administrative matter. Maybe she was just a bit too young. Certainly the Kryptonian seemed to think so, giving them significant looks over 2814's– the new 2814's– head. Given the fact she wasn't that much taller than they were, it wasn't all that difficult.
Well, she'd been chosen by her ring, after all, and highly advanced, perfected over several billion years search software can't be wrong now, can it? Besides, they'd be training her on Oa, helping her get used to her new station instead of just recklessly sending her into the field. And given the state of affairs on earth, they'd been considering an increased Green Lantern presence there anyway. The child gave them a suitable excuse.
And if the Kryptonian still had objections, well, he could take care of them himself, couldn't he? Although given her victory over Sinestro, they didn't see how there could be any doubt of her suitability.
"We welcome you to the Green Lantern Corp, Takamachi Nanoha of Earth, Lantern 2814.1."

Several days later…
"My name is Yuuno Scrya…"

A/N: Meet Takamachi Nanoha, the cutest Green Lantern below four feet tall. Above that, it's Arisia. It as either this or make her Blue Beetle, and I'm already using that somewhere else.
This is based on the DCAU, though I will steal liberally from the comics when they have a cool idea.
Comics!Guardians have a scary tendency to be narrow-minded assholes, except for Ganthet, who at least tries. DCAU!Guardians, however, can be quite fun. It's implied they keep John Stuart on Earth to watch the soap opera that is his dating life, and one of them, in the GL OVA, when told by Sinestro to serve him or die, answered with "Go to hell!". That was a scene near and dear to my heart.
Next: The Green Devil is born!
And!
Fate Testarossa, you have the ability to instill great fear…
Please review, C&C welcome.
Until next time, this is Shadow, signing off.
