The Diabolical Missile from Qward. On Qward, the evil Qwardians have created a new weapon to destroy Green Lantern and plan on destroying all power batteries. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan and Pieface are working on a jet at the Ferris Aircraft Company when suddenly, Hal's power ring starts glowing as though something's wrong. He charges the ring and comes out, but then a mysterious red missile appears and though Green Lantern tries to stop it, his ring seems to be unable to affect it as though it was yellow. The missile follows Hal everywhere but he swerves and tricks it into crashing. Afterwards, he hurries back to the base but finds Pieface in a shocked state. He feels that radiation from the missile may be the cause and goes back to where it crashed to find out where it came from. As he finds it, he is shocked to learn that the missile was really yellow, but it's armor was transparent and red lights on the inside gave it the appearance of being red. He then realizes the missile must have come from Qward and hurries off to find a cure for Pieface's radiation sickness before it's too late. He gets to Qward and soon he meets the men who made the missile and they already know why he had come and offer him a deal. If he defeats their greatest gladiator in combat, he gets the antidote and goes free, he accepts. When he first appears in the arena, he doesn't feel too threatened, but then the robot turns yellow and his ring has no effect on it. As they battle, the robot sends thoughts to Green Lantern that it does not wish to fight and that it had learned good from evil and it wants to help him. The robot pretends to attack him while secretly giving him the antidote, but the Qwardians find something fishy going on and blast the robot. Hal escapes and uses his ring to generate a tidal wave to take out the Qwardians. He then goes back to his universe where he uses the antidote to save Pieface. He knows he has not seen the last of the Qwardians and also regrets the loss of the robot...
