In The Dark Of The Night
Mogo, the planet Green Lantern. Besides being a useful member and training facility for the revived Corps, Mogo has served as something of a mascot. "Look!" the Green Lanterns say, "We have a planet! Aren't we boss

Batman takes it between the eyes. The green facsimile goes head over heels backward, carried by the momentum of the shot as it takes the golden bullet meant for Guy. It lands in an awkward heap before dissolving into nothing.
"Nuh-uh! That sniper crap might've worked on a buncha green rookies, but now yer playin in tha deep end of tha pool."
The trajectory and spatial signatures of Bedovian's shot are rapidly being calculated by Guy's ring while he snarks.
Target acquired
"So think fast!"
Guy winds up and in classic form lobs a pitch.
The baseball leaving his hand picks up speed and is shunted through hyperspace, following the bullet's path back to it's origin, and comes back into real space in time to explode into a shower of gooey splatter that clings to whatever it hits and hardens quickly.

A cluster of asteroids are grabbed and lobbed forcefully at Ranx as he moves out. It's not anything Ranx can't deal with, but it's good to keep the enemy pissed.
Despite the cocky demeanor, the memory of brains on his face still burns in his mind. Guy jumps into warp to close the distance between himself and the shelled sniper. He's not leaving this as a loose end. No more potshots at kids. Not on his watch.
The moment he pops back into real space, a horde of emerald gibbons, chimps and apes swarm over Bedovian as they grasp at the rifle and pound on his carapace with simian fury. The idea is to disarm and subdue as swiftly as possible and get back into the fight.
An afterthought give Guy the presence of mind enough to let his fellow GLs know what he's doing via ring-communicated tactical updates.

"Die, human Lantern!!" A shell of amber armour and spines begins to form from Bedovian's ring, and creep over his carapace, pushing a number of the simian constructs off. He drags the rifle deep inside his shell, and makes the spines on his constructed layer of defence sharper, and longer.

"Um...no, weird bug thing."
Guy loops around his shelled opponent, watching his foe's tactics.
The monkey army dissipates as their usefulness ends.
"So this is yer plan?
Really?
Turning yerself inta' sea urchin?
Well... watched 'Animal Planet' recently and I know somebody who'd just luv ta meet ya!"
*smirk*
Moving gracefully, as if literally 'swimming' in the void of space, an enormous jade sea otter comes into view. It squeaks at Guy and playfully bats at Bedovian's bristling form. It grasps a large nearby asteroid in it's paw and pulls Bedovian to it's chest. The thick course hairs of the construct act to cushion the spiny sharp defenses of it's captive. As if bobbing along the surface of an invisible body of water, the ring-constructed creature 'floats' there and begins to use the chunk of space rock as a crude hammer as it seeks to break down the spines and crack open the shell underneath.

In a shock show of speed, Bedovian hurls himself at Guy, intent on grappling the cocky champion of willpower, drawing him into his maw with his long sinewy tendrils in something that could be out of some dodgy anime.

The giant Sea Otter vanishes as Guy's focus is broken momentarily. It's looking to be a close encounter of a really disturbing kind for him if the tendrils gain any more ground.
Gritting his teeth as he resits, he brings his ring and will to bear again,
"..gnnn...ok hentai-face, I kin play."
Six teenage Japanese school girls sporting disturbingly adult endowments and armed with oversize guns and swords swoop in to Guy's rescue.

In Unison, the three remaining school girls shout out in Japanese and fly at each other. A brilliant flash of light explodes as they meet and when the glare fades, a single giant robotic schoolgirl bearing a blazing sword stands astride the scene.
"死になさい!!!!!" shouts the towering construct, and it brings the burning blade two handed down upon Sinestro's soldier.

Very frightening in fact.
The will of the Yellow Lantern breaks, and the tendrils retract into his shell suddenly as the blade smashes into his shell, showering space with splinters of his carapace. Bedovian decides it's time to lead, and with a flick of his gun trigger a warp hole to another sector opens up.
Rocketing towards it, Bedovian can only hope that Guy Gardner isn't so insane as to follow him in.

..he's the crazy one.
Guy is hot on the alien's proverbial heels.
The mecha-schoolgirl become a raving Mario Batalli wielding an oyster shucking knife and chain mail glove as it follows right along.
"I'm not done wit you!!!"
...and into the warp they go.

A very hungry sounding voice then echoes throughout whichever sector it is that Guy has found himself in. The voice shouts out "MINE!!!" and then Bedovian's gurgled scream can be heard.
When the light dissipates, Bedovian's empty shell is floating just in front of Guy, emptied as if the contents had been scooped out by a man eating molluscs at a restaurant.
You are presently in the Vega System, Green Lantern. Exit immediately.

"Whoah..."
Mario Batali disappears. Oyster shucking equipment and all.
He's REALLY curious. Rule-breaking curious...
...but Mogo's in trouble.
A new warp appears and he dives in, heading back to the fray. On his way back he sends a message back to the Guardians and any active GLs on the tactical channel.
"Hey if anyone's listening, I just chased some crustacean looking bug sniper with a yellow power ring across three sectors. I think it was tha sniper that wacked the rookies back on Oa.
We got dumped in the Vega system and somepthin wit orange headlights just ate the critter I was chasin. I'm on my way back to Mogo now."
He hates leaving unresolved scraps on hold. This isn't over, but for now, Mogo.
