While the seemingly possessed Varrus was preoccupied with the rest of Argus, Arxus slowly pulled out his shotgun and leveled it with the unconscious Darkbringer's head. After all that he had done and the crimes he had commited, the Titan could not help but feel pity for the state the Dark One left himself in. Forced to take on the entire fireteam in a hopeless battle, with a last-ditch effort by controlling the mind of Varrus. Soon, it would all end. Being so close to the Darkbringer, Arxus's visions were at their strongest. The echoed screams of the Dark One's former fireteam ripped through his mind, as the former warlock executed them one by one. All condemned to the same fate, death and lightlessness.

The barrel of Dry Rot had been pressed against the Dark One's temple, as the Titan kneeled aside of the unconscious body to offer a few words. "Sharing your mind was not a pleasent experience, and one I would never wish on anyone. I saw things. Your past. You were not always the demon we know you as. You bleed as anyone else. Allow me to grant this final gift; peace, eternal." The screaming continued to echo through Arxus's mind. He slowly pulled the trigger, and the screams went silent. He had been freed from the nightmares plaguing his mind.

A dark, gelatinous ooze seeped from the Darkbringer's head, pouring out against broken bones on the floor. Grim confirmed that this one would never wake again. Arxus rose to his feet and breathed deep through the filtration system of his helmet. One chapter had ended, but another was about to begin. Earthshaking roars emitted from deep within the fortress.

Grim cut in once again. "I'm getting a massive energy reading from somewhere inside the fortress!"

Arxus replied. "It's begun."
