[i] "Now. Where were we?"[/i] War was doubled over in pain for a brief moment as the Tamaranian bit down on his neck and hit him with a barrage of attacks that he was quite sure would have killed him if he hadn't increased in power. She had gotten stronger. Much stronger than he had remembered. But he had also learned a few tricks since his last encounter with her. "I think I was about to do this." He growled as dark energy began to flow through his body, dissipating the Tamaranian's weird starbolt like virus that had been running through his veins. It hurt like hell but it was better than being dead. "I think your mistaken. I was once Genocide. But now I am War. And War is now Death!" He roared as dark energy shot up from the ground between himself and the vicious animal. For a brief moment as he paused as his body began to adapt to future encounters with the starbolt virus. [i]That could come in useful at some point.[/i] He thought. That was all the time he needed. War let out a roar of Rage and blinding fury as layers upon layers of dark energy shot up and enveloped the Tamaranian's body until she was covered entirely. But he knew that it wouldn't hold her for more than a few seconds. But this next attack would most likely finish her, he thought smugly as he went for her throat with his claws and and teeth. He was going to relish ripping out her throat. He was about to reach her. He was about to finally finish her. But just as he was about to reach her...a figure threw itself directly in front of him. His eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the figure. "Hisel!" He roared angrily as he was forced to break off his attack and rammed his claw through his stomach. The elder Valkorian hit the ground with a thud. [i]Damn. The old man threw me off.[/i] he cursed as he began to gather his strength again and prepared to kill Dawnfire with a blast of dark energy.
