Skorn heard them, even felt them. Thousands of angry cries from unknown individuals as they and their families were slaughtered by a malevolent force. He growled, red steam curling from his razor lined mouth as he crushed the neck of a bandit chief responsible for the razing of several villages. Tossing him aside, Skorn flapped his wings as he prepared to take off from the bloody carnage around him, only to be stopped by the voice of one of his fellow Lanterns.
"Hey! Don't tell me you're just going to take off and run!!"
Skorn hissed and looked down below at his caller, eyes burning with warning as he continued to rise to the sky.
"My work here is done, Zillius Zox. I trust you can finish off a few petty criminals in my place, hm? I'll make it up to you later!"
With those words, Skorn flapped his wings harder to take off towards the vacuum of space at astonishing speeds, not slowing for a moment even after he made it outside the atmosphere of the small planet he and his ally were bringing vengeance to. Skorn allowed his ring to guide him to the location where the voices had cried out, occasional bursts of bloody napalm coming from his mouth as he thought on the atrocities of the past.
Arriving in the sector, Skorn came upon a ruined and now vacant planet. His eyes burned with intense fury. What could have done this? A fleet of conquering aliens? A destructive creature that devoured worlds?
*SINESTRO CORP MEMBER DETECTED*
The Red Lantern turned in the direction of the wielder of the yellow power ring. He doubted that one such being could have done this all by itself, but perhaps it had had a part to play in the destruction of this planet.
