Supernova's fist ignited. He moved on Nash but Killer Frost stepped in the way.


"Supernova, wait. Nash is on our side, he's one of the good guys." She said.


"Is he now? Because if my memory serves me right, this parasite experimented on me, in fact he helped create the antimatter cannon on the other side of that tomb!" Supernova growled, a finger of accusation aimed at Nash.


"That was many years ago, Supernova. I wasn't acting under my own accord." Said Pariah.


"Lies! You enjoyed every second of what you did to me, the power you stole from me and perverted to your ends. I can feel it radiating off of you, even as we stand here." Supernova hissed.


Nash couldn't form an adequate response. He had no shame in what he'd done. In order to feel shame, there had to be remorse. He lacked that as well.


"We're sorry that happened to you, Vosh, but right now we need Nash. We need the both of you." Barry said. He stood in front of Vosh and placed a hand on his shoulder.


Vosh glared into Barry's eyes. His indignation faded. The light surrounding his fist fizzled away.


Barry was right. It wasn't the time or the place for vendettas. "Fine. But once this is over, Pariah, there will be a reckoning... For you, Mobius and Krona." Said Vosh. His purple eyes flashed.



Pariah hung his head before speaking. "Krona has not been heard from since the destruction of Qward."



Vosh blinked away his rage. It was rage that caused him to destroy the entire planet in the first place. Rage nearly consumed him on Earth-96 as well.


"Can we get this show on the road already?" Asked Cisco.


"Yes, please." Said Killer Frost in agreement.


The heroes and Pariah turned to face the wall. The runic symbols on the tomb wall flashed with burgundy light under Supernova's gaze. It wasn't until then that Vosh could feel the antimatter calling to him.


The part of him that was missing.


"Behind this wall, his domain." Said Pariah.


"What mister green-jeans here is trying to say is, once we get inside we can actually stop the antimatter wave right at the source." Cisco explained.


"Let's do it." Said Barry.



Vosh watched Cisco unlock the vault. With each touch of a rune, Vosh's powers burned his skin. He winced and looked down at his hands. Burgundy energy swirled underneath his palms.



"Your power calls to you, doesn't it? It's fighting you for control, fighting to be unleashed. Your humanity won't be able to hold for much longer." Said Pariah. A spark of intrigue glimmered in his eyes.


Vosh glared at him. "If you keep looking at me like a lab rat, Pariah, I will unleash every once of power I have on you." Vosh spat as the vault opened.



He followed the others into the tomb. Though the tomb was old as day, everything inside was made of advanced technology. The same technology Krona and Nash used on Qward. Vosh grimaced as he thought back to those times.
