Verzul becomes enraged. He calls for reinforcements. His demented mind envisions thousands of Sith raining down on Kashyyyk in merciless waves. Then the dark side beast escaped from its cage and began attacking. Verzul resorts to using his 0077 mechanical suit in order to do battle with the beast. Ursa arrives just in time to watch the chaos.

He is force to abandon his suit as it is now destroyed. Then Verzul killed Kraal, slaying the Yuuzhan Vong Sith with his lightsabers, cutting off his legs, and pinning him to the ground. Then he finished him off with Force lighting and ripped him apart. At that point he turned his attention toward finding Nava.
