War let out a growl of anger but otherwise managed to stand his ground. He could already feel the dark magic that he had been learning about shielding him from the most severe of the damaging starbolts and the Tamaranian's formidable physical attacks but he was still caught by surprise by the attack and was in a bit of pain. "Actually, I was rather happy that you were gone for so long. It gave Death and myself enough time to increase our power levels far beyond what they once were. As we speak, Death will be dealing with our new enemy."

A shadowy knife appeared in War's hands and he held it directly above the unconscious Viran's chest. "I suppose it's a good thing that you've arrived. If you can survive you can tell the Titans who killed Viran, but that's highly unlikely."

He looked down at Viran and smiled darkly and than looked at Dawnfire. "Say goodbye." He laughed as he brought the dagger down.
