Construct strength does not equal ring charge, though.

And that would promptly get it reprogrammed.
By Grayvy's Weaponeer associate, who would probably be interested in the opportunity to work on a third ring type. Or maybe Mother Box.
Do recall how Gravy dealt with Father Box. His sentiment tends to come to a screeching halt when faced by something he considers betrayal.
No, he walked into the vault where the ring was stored and exhibited his worthiness and it came to his hand.
He didn't claim it from someone else.

Extra quotation mark.
The fact that he hasn't even tried to do it on camera in a long time suggests he no longer considers those abilities to be part of his arsenal.

Guy Gardner, who had the ring on his finger at the time, might beg to differ.
I never said it did.
The basis of this argument started over whether Kelly could use fear produced by The Terror Thing to recharge the ring not about making it's constructs and attacks stronger.
Which is an entirely separate issue. As I said, my speculation wasn't based on it producing fear, but it being an actual fear elemental.
Huh?*checks*
Oh, forgot about that GG.
Not that it matters; Grayvy is particular about betrayal when people betray HIM
EDIT
I completely forgot that N-metal disrupts ring constructs.

so, anyone wanna take bets on if AI-Sinestro get's a second chance? 
my money is on "20% chance of grayven attempting to extract him if he can find compatible hardware if hes EXTREMELY convincing about the ring's core-programming overriding what free will he still has" THEN destroying the ring as a liability, 10% chance he goes through the effort of attempting a reprogramming, and a 60% chance he just destroys it anyway
stupid idea, if you ask me- the number of people who'd risk using a ring that could father-box them quite literally at any time is raaaather low- if word had gotten around BEFORE alt-sinestro carked it...
im not implying smashing the thing would be FOOLISH, far from it- it sends a VERY clear message-
the God of Conquest is more than Willing to Be reasonable, work with people for mutual gain (having Conquered his own impatience)-but has a zero-tolerance policy on betrayal, regardless of how useful an ally may be...

As logical as that may be, I hope it doesn't happen. Sinestro ring is best ring.

I make another wild slash at the arm construct while I form buzz saw constructs and rather urgently try slicing through the strands wrapping themselves around my calves. The tendrils themselves are being projected from the centre of a circular and richly-fanged maw and.. given how resilient they're proving to be, I'm not eager to test their strength against my armour! Two sets of jaw-rings undulate and clamp against themselves in eagerness as the tendrils begin pulling me in!
I bend, grabbing a probing tendril with my right hand and very carefully slicing through it with the Sword of the Fallen. Hopefully these are all part of one large construct and it will-. No, it's a cluster of separate ones. Fast, stab, stab and pull! The construct tethers part, fraying and failing as I come free. I start to pull away from the monstrous maw once more, and turn away-.
The remains of the monstrous hand strike me full in the face, smashing me back into the mouths. Immediately, the teeth penetrate my environmental shield and start grating against my armour. I twist, wedging myself in the mouth tube with my feet pressed against the far side and my back against the other. Fine, my constructs aren't top quality. Let's see you overpower super strength!
More tendrils rise from the interior as the mouth extends above me, blocking my view of the exterior world. I stab with the Sword, slashing at the mouth's interior and severing the tendrils before they can get a grip on me. That done, I repeatedly stab at the interior of the mouth! Come on, fail, damn you!
The mouth undulates, attempting to draw me further inside. Ugh, I'm not even sure which way I want to go. Kelly must have caught up by now and there isn't actually a stomach down there. It's just-.
The mouth clamps down in all directions, new teeth sprouting and through the slashes I've already made I can see additional mass being added from the exterior. He's not trying to drag me anywhere, he's just going to use this construct to crush me!
Mrghh! Bracing girder construct. Mother Box, any chance of a boom tube?
Ping.
I don't think he'll be so generous. Ring, is FTL an option?
Yellow light presence too great for transition. Warp is available, but unwise.
AgH! The teeth underneath my back just.. spiked through into my skin. The ones pushing at my feet I can just kick to mist but my back is anchored in place. It hurts, and it'll only get worse as they push through my flesh. Fortunately, I'm tough all of the way through so it won't be quick, and if I twist-. Good, gone for the moment.
Raw construct force isn't-
The girder construct moans and starts to fracture.
-going to work here, so let's try something more orange. What sort of overlord doesn't have a giant monster in the basement? Ring, assimilate.
Identity theft in progress.
The yellow light around me dims as orange light filters into its structure. A little of the pressure falls away as the fact that I don't want to be eaten at all becomes more of a factor and the fact that some of the mason's victims were afraid of being eaten matters less. Hah, hooray for weaker constructs. And… Stab there and there, sheathe the Sword and grab and pull!
The side of the gullet comes apart, revealing a mess of mutant construct flesh, monstrous eyes and tiny arms and insect feelers. Right, grab. Ring, keep assimilating. Aerodiscs to full and GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Eyes burst, flesh is rent and the construct starts to collapse around me! As I start to gain momentum I reach down with my left hand to grab the Sword and thrust it ahead of me, cutting through the yellow construct and bursting through into the open air! I Stand Triumphant!
Very much better out than in. Mother Box, boom huruughh!
"Hello, Grayven."
Kelly's right hand is around my throat and slowly squeezing! I move my left arm to stab him with the Sword but he just grabs my left hand with his own. Guhh. It's not fast, but he will rip my head off like this. Ring, assimilate.
Unable to establish connection.
Transition?
Unable to comply.
Ring, make any progress with the dust?
Task suspended.
This is what I get for using Sinestro for everything for so long. Uhk! Assimilate that!
Energy absorption in progress.
"Urugh. R-hah." Kelly grins as he starts to push my left hand back towards me. "I don't know what you're doing, but it won't be enough. It's never taken me more than a minute to crush a man's throat."
Assimilate faster! I Stand Firm!
By your command.
The pouch containing the crushed stone shines brilliant orange for several seconds, and I feel Kelly's grip actually weaken.
"You're already… You're already in my grip. Banish the Terror Thing and you still can't get away.
"Ooh 're oo tr'n oo cnvnce?"
Because dangerous though this situation clearly is, I'm… Actually not afraid. All those fears in the Terror Thing are making the constructs strong, but my own aren't adding to it. Ring, radio Lord Sheldrake. Message: got any banishment gear?
Message sent.
"The Terror Thing is a mindless weapon. It serves me, now, and your weak attempt to damage our link won't stop me."
Oh no it isn't and oh no it doesn't and oh yes it will. Mother Box, boom tube behind him.
Ping.
BOOM.
A fraction of a second with less than total attention on me and I turn my left hand, release the Sword and pass it to my right.
And then I swing it through his right wrist.
And breathe! I gulp down fresh air while tossing aside the still gripping severed hand. He's backing off in the air even as I try a swing for his head and miss. Damn, he's wearing Sinestro on his left! Press on!
The Sword pierces Lynne's face-. No, it's just a construct blugh!
Kelly punches me with his remaining hand, generates another giant construct hand and throws me towards the ground!

Using Lynne's face against him? Kelly is a dick.

Does not have a custom title.
Ouch, using Lynne's image for psychological warfare. I don't think we'll be seeing this ass again.
Edit: ....Ninja'd.

Probably, the ring has a known ability to manifest people's fears; and Lynne being hurt is one of his fears.
Typo:
"is"
Grayven is losing.
Time for a Shounen power up but with the anti-life equation?
I hope not.

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that Kelly hasn't been granted full access to the ring, which means no lantern to recharge with, and the ring doesn't provide any warning before it runs out of power completely.

I don't really like that this guy possessed himself with a fear elemental and is immediately a threat to Grayven. I get he should be powerful but power does not equal skill with rings and Sinestro shouldn't be helping this guy either so it's all his own work.

Well, he kinda becomes larfleeze lite version of yellow ring, brute force with excessive fear power while have generally worse technique. Him being invulnerable to everything except sword of the fallen along with increase strength to match Gravy also doesn't help our grey boy.

He's got a mini-Parallax in his system, I think he can jury-rig a recharge every now and again.
Also wow, Grayven is getting rolled by brute force constructs from a guy who got his ring like a minute ago. Even with the fear elemental, this is not a great showing.
GilliamYaeger
M'crazy.
He's been shown before to be a clever, creative man when it comes to fighting things. I'm not surprised that he's spent a great deal of time preparing for this fight beforehand. A lot of his brute force seems like it comes not from the Terror Thing, but from the rather clever way he's meshing smaller constructs together to create a larger superconstruct.
