OK, here’s Lobo’s one shot. Enjoy everyone.

Lobo in…: Manhunted

(Al’s Diner. March 18th, 12:34 space-time)

A group of aliens began to pass through a large group as a shadowy roar of an engine is heard. The citizens backed up as a large figure got off of a floating device that appeared to be a flying Motorcycle with a rocket engine on the back, two handle bars and skull designs on the sides and front.

The giant stayed in the shadows as people backed up as he walked over to a large diner that read ‘Al’s Diner’ before slamming the doors open, making the patrons turn in shock at the person who entered as the figure walked in.

“Whatz up, Chikas!” the figure roared with a laugh as he walked into the light, revealing himself to be a tall, pitch white muscular man with long black hair, a short goatee, dark pitch-red eyes, black markings on his face, a black leather jacket over his shirtless chest, a pair of black leather pants with a skull belt, black combat boots with skulls on them, a pair of chains wrapped around his arms and a cigar in his mouth and a shotgun-like weapon on his back.

“Lobo!” The patrons cheered as he walked through, high-fiving several of them as he laughed, as he passed through and got to the bar.

“Hey Al, what’s up?” Lobo asked, talking to a humanoid wolf-like alien growled at him before getting back to work as Lobo just laughed. “That’s why I like ya, Al.”

“So, you got any new stories for us, Lobo?” asked a voice as a woman walked over and sat down. She was dressed in a typical Diner Waitress uniform but she had dark blonde hair, light violet skin and had black marks on her face and a silt on her chin and a pair of pointed ears.

“Hey’a Darlene. Don’t I got a story to tell.” Lobo said with a smirk. “Gather ‘round ya bunch of poozers, to hear this tale of mine and me takin’ on an entire group of Manhunters.”

“YOU took on a group of Manhunters? That’s kind of low-grade.” Said a man in the back with a laugh.

“Yeah, you’re right…over 200 killer Robots IS a slow day for me, but money is money.” Said Lobo with a laugh. “Alright…it was only yesterday and it was across from here…”

(A few days ago…)

(Sector 1417. March 16th, 11:25 Space-time)

Shows Lobo driving through a galaxy, humming a bit as he looked around the stars, smirking as he ate some sort of pastry that looked red in color with violet covering and liquid oozing out.

Lobo: Ya see, I was just ridin’ along in those silly sectors that the GLs thought up. I think it was…14-whatever, and that’s when someone stopped me.

“You. Halt.” Said a calm voice as Lobo stopped as he sighed.

“What are ya, a traffic cop? There’s no speed limit in…Space…” Lobo slowed down as his eyes widen when he saw who it was.

Lobo: Ya wouldn’t believe who stopped me: It was Sinestro, one of them Green Lanterns…and one of the nuttier ones if I remembered right. A guy who ruled his planet with an iron fist…something I admire honestly. But how those chrome-dome elves didn’t notice, I’ll never know.

Floating in front of Lobo was a red-violet skinned man with a large forehead, a very thin mustache, short black hair, and wearing a green and black jumpsuit very similar to Hal Jordan’s, but with a single-fingered gloves that cover his middle fingers, one of which on had his lantern ring, which was on his right hand.

“I am not a traffic cop, brute. I am Thaal Sinestro, a member of the Green Lantern Corp. and you are Lobo, the ‘Main Man’…a very quaint name, yes, but I am in need of your help. The planet of attractive models needs your help-“

Darlene: Lobo…

Lobo: A’right, a’right. Sheesh…everyone’s a critic.

Sinestro turns to Lobo as he says “My home world, Korugar, is being threatened by the Manhunters, a group of rogue machines created by the guardians before the Corp was established. I would rather not sully my hands with these waste of space, but I believe you can help.”

“Why me?” asked Lobo, a scowl forming on his face.

“For one thing…you are an entrusted ally of the Corp. We supply you with information and we allow you access to our cases.” Sinestro said calmly as Lobo laughed a bit.

“Yeah right, Forehead…I don’t always work with the Corp. You guys hunt me down remember? Or did you forget the last few punks I took out from your little beat cop squad?” Lobo asked as Sinestro sneered a bit as a sudden clamp went over his neck, as Lobo just laughed.

“Are you fraggin’ kiddin’ me? Did ya forget? You Korugans can’t kill me. Heck, NO one can kill me except people of my own race. And even then, I killed all of them for fun.” Lobo laughed at this as Sinestro lets go.

“Fair enough…but you are still needed, Lobo. I rather not deal with these creatures when there are problems going on with Kanjar Ro. So that is why I am asking you to do it. I am the ruler of the planet, so I can pay any amount you wish.” Sinestro told him, as Lobo smirks a bit.

“I’ll find ya after I take care of them. Just point me to where your planet is and I’ll take care of the rest.” Lobo said as Sinestro merely points to the left, and Lobo drove in the direction of the planet.

Lobo: So I went off…to Korugar, one of the nicer places I’ve been to. Sure a psychotic dictator rules it, but it isn’t as bad as Betrassus. I heard rumors that some prince killed the local GL dere. Talk about a dangerous profession.

Lobo smirked as he flew closer to Korugar and landed on a very lush area as he landed his motorcycle-like machine on the ground. He looked around and saw figures flying down onto a near by city. “So that’s Korugar City, eh?”

The city itself was quite impressive with a brilliant yellow-green tint to the buildings with clean sand on the ground and very lush plants growing all over. “…Peh, to peaceful for my tastes.” Lobo muttered…until he saw energy blasts begin to fire down. “Now THAT’S more like it!”

Korugans ran in terror as tall humanoids landed. They had violet and dark blue armor, glowing red eyes and silver skin on it’s face, arms and legs with hands and feet that looked like gloves and boots with long energy rods in their hands.

A child ran with her parents before she tripped. “Mama! Papa!” the child cried as the older Korugan female ran back to pick up her child, but gasped as she saw a Manhunter pointing his rod at her.

“No man escapes the Manhunters.” The machine said as it powers up its attack before a chain suddenly wraps around his head.

“Wanna bet?” Lobo asked as he yanks back and slams the machine into a building before slamming it back down onto the ground, shattering it as he walks over, looking at the mother and child.

“…Who…who are you…?” the father asked as he came to meet up with his wife and daughter as Lobo just sneered.

“Name’s Lobo, now frag off while I take care of these punks.” Lobo said as the Manhunters stopped their assault and turned to him as a lead one, this one having bright golden marks on his armor instead of the usual blue, glared at him. “Ah, one of the Highmaster’s drone bodies…just what I was looking forward to.”

“Subject identified: ‘Main Man’ Lobo. Species: Czarnian. Age: 38 Czarnian years. Crimes: Planet-wide genocide, killing people for profit, kidnapping people for profit-“

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep rambling, ya flag-headed tin can. I’m just here to rip you punks apart…and the Main Man always keeps to his bargin…unless ya don’t pay, and in that case, I’ll take their head as payment.” Lobo said with a smirk as he twirled his chain around, the hook whooshing in the air.

“No man escapes the Manhunters!” The rest announced before charging at him, as Lobo just smirked.

“Peh…so the Highmaster is sending these mooks first, eh? A’right…” Lobo smirked as he whistles as a engine roared as his motorcycle ship drove through the drones of machines, sending them flying as Lobo got on as he smirked. “Ya want heavy firepower…I’ll show you bastichs some REAL fire power! Space hog, get out ALL of the guns!”

Suddenly the ‘Space hog’ revealed many different weapons from lasers, saws, swords and many other things as Lobo smirks as the Manhunters just glared. “Lets PARTY!” He yelled out as he drove through them.

Lobo: I ripped them apart, the fraggin’ lot! They never stood a chance against an unbeatable Czarnian-bred Warrior!

The Main Man heard something and turned and fired three shots, all three hitting their marks to their head as the main Manhunter flew over and punched Lobo, sending him off of his bike as he grunts.

“It’s foolish to continue this fight, Czarnian. You are to be tried and executed for your crimes.” The machine said calmly, his eyes narrowing a bit.

“Peh…” Lobo got up as he rubs his chin a bit. “Good left hook, I’ll give ya that. But now…you’re gonna be a fraggin’ pile of SCRAP!” He got his chain out and threw it out as it hooks onto his shoulder and yells “GET OVAH ‘ERE!” He pulled it over.

“No man can stop the Manhu-“ Before the machine could finish; Lobo grabs his head as he smirks.

“…Looks like you’re wrong about that, bastich.” He smirked as he grabs his head and then his waist as he roared out as he ripped the machine in two before throwing the two halves aside. “Fatality, Mothah Fraggah!” The Korugans all came back, seeing their wrecked up city filled with now dead robots. “No need to thank me, everyone. Just doin’ my job.”

“…” The people just stared in shock as a woman walked up and glared. “And who asked you to come here?” The woman was at least in her late 20s with neck length black hair, dark blue eyes and wearing a purple and black dress with a star design near her neck.

“That guy Sinestro, why?” asked Lobo, as he saw the people suddenly glared at him. “…I guess he’s not popular with you all, huh?” He asked them, seeing the sudden hostility towards him.

“Leave, Tyrant Dog!” the woman said as the others agreed as Lobo growled a bit as he grabs the woman.

“Listen here, ya little-“ Before Lobo could do anything; a green energy chain caught his arm.

“Hold it.” Said a voice as Sinestro came down and landed besides Lobo. “Let go of her, now.”

“…I was gonna.” Lobo said as he dropped the girl, as she just glared at him.

“Hello Katma, how are you?” Sinestro calmly as the woman glared at him as she got up, dusting herself off. Sinestro looked at them all and says “You are dismissed, go home. We shall do repairs on the morrow.” His people left as Lobo watched, crossing his arms.

Lobo: Somethin’ bugged me about the place, but I left with my pay and just moved on. And after that, I continued my travels and came here.

Lobo took a bag from Sinestro and got onto his Space hog and flew off. Sinestro just watched him, a smirk forming on his face as he flew off.

(The Present)

(Al’s Diner. March 18th, 14:34 space-time)

“And that’s what happened, and it’s da truth.” Said Lobo with a large smirk on his face as he took what he ordered and took a big bite out of what appeared to be a bucket full of what looked like fried animal parts.

The crowd began to murmur with excitement at the story as a floating robot came over. He had a long, sideways head with large bug-like eyes, disembodied arms and a lower body that was just a pad as it floated near Lobo.

“Excuse me, I couldn’t help but overhear your exciting tale, Mr. Lobo.” The machine said as Lobo gave him a sneer.

“What do ya want, bucket head?” Lobo asked as he saw someone walk up to him and pat him on the back.

“Lobo! The Main Man himself!” the man said with a laugh. He frowns as he saw the man was a humanoid with a golden suit with a silt on his helmet that revealed blue-tinted eyes and tubes coming over, revealing mist inside.

“…And you are?” Lobo asked, giving him an odd look.

“I am Lord Manga Kahn. My card.” The man said, showing him a small device as Lobo read it as a hologram came out.

“Manga Kahn…Bounty Hunter manager?” Lobo asked with confusion as four figures walked up. “Who are these bozos?”

“My other clients.” Said Manga as he points to them. “The elf without a face is Chun Yull, the Faceless Hunter.” An orange skinned elfish being just nods.

‘Hello, warrior.’ He said as Lobo frowned at them as a large, red-skinned ape-like beast with white horns on his face and white silt eyes.

“This is Skuall, a powerful Telepath and a physical powerhouse.” Manga said with a smirk as the large creature nods. “And this guy here is Amon Hakk, a master of weapons.”

“Hello.” Said the violet skinned, goateed man dressed in a black jumpsuit with a smile as Lobo heard something and saw a tall, dark violet humanoid with finned ears and fins that looked like a Mohawk, a single shoulder pad with a dark black coloring and a loincloth, similar to a gladiator. The odd thing about him though was that he had a vertical third eye on his head, but it was closed.

“And who’s this guy?” Lobo asked in confusion as Manga smirked.

“This is Despero of Kalandor, one of the best Bounty Hunters in the business, but he’ll only go after the most worthy of warriors.” Manga said as the three-eyed giant just nods as he looked at him…and smirked faintly.

“And I would not mind going against the infamous Lobo. As one of the mightiest warriors, this should be interesting for to see which of us would fair against the other.” Despero said, a faint smirk on his face that showed off his shark-like teeth.

“A’right…why are ya here, Manga? For real.” Lobo asked, giving the yellow-clad alien a look.

Manga Khan chuckled as he says “L-Ron, tell the good Czarnian.” The Robot, L-Ron, flew over at this.

“Of course, M’Lord. You see, he wishes to help you in exchange of 20% of all of the bounty you gain. Which means you each get the 80% of your respective bounties.” L-Ron explained as Lobo gained a smirk. “And he’ll also coordinate potential employers for your services. What do you say, Lobo?”

Lobo looked at the other Bounty Hunters…before smirking as he says, “IF it means beatin’ down on some more mooks…where do I sign up?” Manga smiled at this as he got out a piece of paper as Lobo signed his name in his native language, not knowing someone was there.

A humanoid being that looked very reminiscent of a Komodo Dragon got out a communicator as he says, “Mistress Komand’r…I have found a bounty hunter who might interest you.”

“Alright, who is it?” A female voice said on the other end of the communicator, as the creature hissed faintly.

“He his the Czarnian…Lobo.” He hissed, as the woman’s voice chuckled.

“He could be a benefit for the Gordanian forces…just need the right moment to get his alliance.” The woman chuckled as the Gordanian soldier looked at Lobo, unaware of a woman clad in Hawk-styled armor was watching from a far, a scowl on her face as she looked at Lobo.

‘So…that’s Sinestro’s running boy, huh? I knew that Sinestro was dirty, but didn’t know he was THAT dirty…’ the woman said calmly as she took a sip of a strangely-colored mug of liquid, a mace next to her as it glowed faintly. She looks outside at the people outside, a sad smile on her face as she watched a family go by.

Lobo got money on the counter and headed out as he says to Manga, “I’ll give ya a call, Gas-Boy. Smell yaz later.” The other Bounty Hunters watched him leave, as did the lizard man and the woman in the hawk armor, all of them curious about the insane bounty hunter as he drove off into the sunset.

End of One-Shot

Well, I hope you guys liked this One-Shot and I hope I did well in portraying the Main Man. In the main series, it’ll be the first of the ‘Solo Arcs’, in which it’ll focus on ONE of the Justice League and characters associated with him, and the next One-Shot involves the faceless Detective, The Question/Vic Sage. So please, Read, Review and Suggest away!
Well, here it is! The One-Shot involving the Main Man himself, the crazy Czarnian...Lobo! I hope you like it, everyone.

Synopsis: Lobo retells an adventure he has at his favorite diner involving the time he was hired by Sinestro of the Green Lanterns to take out some Manhunters in Korugar. Being one of the best of the best Bounty Hunters, he knew he can take them, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a story to share.
