Atrocitus looked out over his corps. The scarred alien shook his head. He did not have enough members to take down Sinestro and the Green Lantern Corps. Artocitus slammed his fist down on the altar in front of him. The Red Lanterns in the audience looked up, each snarling and drooling blood. Atrocitus could easily restore their thought process with his magics, but then they would be harder to manipulate to his will.

"Universe," Atrocitus began, "Show me what is to become of my corps!" Atrocitus observed the puddle of blood on the altar before him slowly morph and change. The Red Lanterns watched carefully. They were rage monsters, but that did not mean they did not have curiosity. The Corps viewed Atrocitus's horrifying mouth contort into a smile.

"Red Lanterns!" shouted Atrocitus, "I have great news! Our Corps will expand! We will be able to challenge the Green Lantern Corps and kill Sinestro! The greatest part of the prophecy dictates that a powerful sentient from sector 2814 will join our Corps!" Atrocitus let out a booming war. The Red Lantern Corps exploded into similar roars and snarls. Atrocitus left the dais the altar was on and retreated to his private quarters. He did not need to sleep, no Red Lantern did, but he needed time to think.

He could very well achieve his goal of eliminating the guardians and sacrificing Sinestro in front of a crowd. Soon, very soon, thought Atrocitus.
