Hal realizes that he needs to stall for time and allow the rest of the Green Lanterns to get inside. Hal then offers to trade the Blue ring to Larfleeze. Larfleeze is incensed, as he has already spared Hal and offered him food. Hal explains that all he wants to know is how he got the Lantern and met the Guardians. Being reminded that words are cheap, Larfleeze agrees to tell Hal about his story. Billions of years ago, Larfleeze was part of a guild of thieves who wanted to pull off the biggest heist in history. Their first target was Maltus, the original homeworld of the Oans, Controllers, and Zamarons. They lost one of their group to a Manhunter, but made off with a treasure trove of items, including a box worth a whole star system and a map made by disgraced Maltusian Krona. The map lead to Okaara, where they lost another member to the Forbidden Forest of Weeds. The surviving three made their way to the palace, where they found the Orange Lantern inside. The three thieves suddenly became obsessed with the Lantern and began fighting each other for it. The Guardians of the Universe then appeared, along with the Manhunters. Larfleeze remembered that they seemed afraid of the Lantern, like they had encountered it before. As the three battled, one of the thieves was killed, along with several Guardians and Manhunters. Finally, the Guardians told Larfleeze and the survivor that all they wanted was the box they stole. The Guardians proposed a truce where the thieves would be allowed to keep the Lantern in peace, and the Guardians and their agents would not enter the Vega system, as long as the Lantern stayed in the Temple. Additionally, only one could wield the orange light. Larfleeze finishes and explains that he won the fight, taking the Lantern. The Guardians then removed the information about the pact from the Book of Oa, just as they did with the Massacre of Sector 666 and Parallax. Hal demands to know how Larfleeze knows about Parallax, and Larfleeze reveals that the box was containing Parallax inside. Larfleeze then tries to take the Blue ring, but it again prevents him. Hal asks him to wait, but Larfleeze has grown impatient. Making an Orange axe, Larfleeze uses it to sever Hal's hand, and remove the Blue ring. It then welcomes him to the Blue Lantern Corps.
