Synopsis: H'ronmeer whisks Dr. Erdel high into the sky, while the Martian Manhunter continues to scream in pain. The Martian God of Death continues his efforts to unlock J'onn's true memories. Little by little, the false imagery of life on Mars is slowly stripped away, to be replaced by a more graphic, and harrowing reality. He recalls the plague of fire that destroyed his people, as well as the tragic loss of his daughter, K'hym.

After another violent spell, H'ronmeer seemingly disappears and J'onn finally comes to terms with his true identity. He stands revealed in his true Martian form – not the muscle-bound beetle-brow visage that he had grown accustomed to.

Erdel takes him back to the cabin and shows him the machinery that he once used to transport the Manhunter from Mars to Earth. J'onn realizes that the psychic phenomena that he has been experiencing will not cease unless he returns to his home world. He convinces Erdel to fire up the old device and transport him back to Mars.

Arriving on the Red Planet, J'onn comes face to face with the true H'ronmeer.
