Written by the ruler of Granaco, a kingdom neighboring Modora that Sonar is being released from prison in Modora. He came to Granaco to offer his services as a supreme adviser to the country and was kicked out for even suggesting the idea. In hindsight, the leader of Granaco realized that he has made a powerful enemy in mocking Sonar and is asking for Green Lantern's help.
Traveling to Granaco, Green Lantern tries to stop an attacking the town, fending off all the sound constructs Sonar creates with his weapon. When Sonar attempts to shatter Green Lantern with his sonar gun, however Green Lantern saves himself from death than with a protective sphere.
