The night sky, blotted out by tumbling pillars of smoke had become witness to the Temple's burning. Ben wafted through slain Padawan's, children whom's body had been bisected or pierced through, some of them by his own lightsaber. His throat felt blocked by carbonite. The emissaries of Snoke-the mass of dark energy in his visions-were dispatching the ones that thought to escape. There were four at his side now, seeking out possible survivors amongst the staid bodies.

Rain had begun to fall, pelting them heavily. "I wanna leave now," he said in front of the burning temple. "All are dead. Even, Luke. I saw to him personally."

The Knights of Ren guarded him like loyal dogs. One of them gestured towards an onyx ship, its engine humming. Ben Solo could not express how he felt, it was truly a mystery, a concoction he had never experienced. A death and rebirth of the highest echelon. He could feel something dying inside, it brought a form of clarity and despair. Before he depart he felt an oddity in the Force, a fierce cut and deception. He looked off towards the disturbance, wordlessly halting his servants and Knights. "Hold on..."

The thread of deception brought him to Odette's ship, two of his chosen Padawans waited with lofty emotions. They wanted to impress him and had felt, without little doubt, that they would. He greeted them with a stern expression as they boarded the ship. They pulled up footage of Odette struggling against them, he stepped forward, pushing them aside. He could see her restraint, so palpable to him that it enraged him.

Odd... Odd, kill them! Erase them! LIVE!

As the final blow was dealt, his agony-through the Dark Side-was molded into fury. A tremor ran through him, his anger sizzled and roared. Two of Knights of Ren, sensing his conniptions rushed aboard, only to witness the two Padawans contorted bodies floating overhead. The ship's machinery, its buttons and casings were crumpled, ripped open, and sparking. He held his tears and at the sound of a female Knight of Ren's observation, "Now I know why, Snoke, chose him. What raw power." The bodies dropped.

His ire made his body tense, made his gait predatory. "We're leaving. Now!" the yell came swiftly.

_{Aboard the Abyss}

Ben stared at the black attire left by a male Knight of Ren, bottling up the great despair of losing, Odette. A sigh let him as he discarded his light robes and donned the new ones. He felt... right in them. The color suited him and he had always known it so. "Ben is dead... The Order, decimated. Luke, expunged... Odd ... My starlight... gone. Yes, Ben is dead. I'am something new, someone different. The Master of the Knights of Ren."

He looked out the circular view-port at a massive ship overhead. "...Snoke, I can feel his darkness."

@AHeartlessNobody That was an epic read. 10/10 lol.

Star Wars: A New Force

@AHeartlessNobodyOh lol. My bad for the 3rd degree

Star Wars: A New Force

@AHeartlessNobody Maybe not engagement. I can't see Ben doing something like that while planning the destruction of everything he loved. Probably a precious memento or something. As for the idea, I'm all for it, especially the note.

The girl is a bit like Anakin but who says he was the only slave to escape Tatooine lol. Also I like her but I'm wondering if she needs an entire profile. We're focusing on Ben x Odette right? like Poe x Terra is a side-story.

@vancexentan You can either do a one day timeskip or continue your day. Either way, you'll be dictating the flow of the RP. If you do a one-day timeskip, the rest of us will follow.

Once she was sleep and in his arms, Ben searched the hutted area for a viable hiding spot for her body. When he found a spot near the arena, a crater from when he ripped a chunk of earth away, he laid her inside and quickly covered her up with loose grass and vines. He wholly expected to never see her again, so he allowed one more tear to fall for his craven-self. There was much to be done and with the arrival of a jet black ship and its whining hum, the extermination had begun.

Three warriors all adept in the Dark Side strode from the ship's lowered ramp. They greeted Ben with silence at first then slowly with a bent knee, respect. One of them explained the situation in such a manner, that Ben had gathered an understanding his personality. The Knights of Ren were another Order bent on power, he were they're master, as dictated by Snoke.

Ben fell into his role without flaw, after all he always believed his place and birthright was as the Galaxy's sole Leader. He turned to the gathering Padawans; curious spectators, and roused innocents. Ben looked over his shoulder at them and gave the order, "Kill them." His words sent the Knights into actions, pouncing them onto the unsuspecting children. One of the older Padawans confronted him and Ben mentally applauded his combat instinct. He crossed his arms over his chest, domineering as always.

"Impressive, I might let you live."

Star Wars: A New Force

@AHeartlessNobody lol, sounds like a blast. Well my post is up, hope you enjoy the read.

EDIT: Also, that song from earlier, its taking on such a sad interpretation for me. Playing Ben Solo turning into Kylo Ren is kind of giving the song a new life for me. It's almost bitter-sweet. Cause I want that love for him but he's tossing it aside, willingly at that. :(

Still a great song though.

Kylo x Odette forever lol.

For an amazing second-his battle and her sheer Light Side energy had held Snoke off. It felt liberating; to know the kind and beautiful future he could have with Odette. The Force, in all its power, revealed just a fragment of what that path held. A tender relationship with Odette, an understanding between father and son, a worthwhile duty to the Jedi Order ... That could have been his life, if he had not known the falsehood and betrayal it was built upon. The horrendous actions that had led to such a pitiful belief in Luke's so-called-peace.

Their kiss, her lips, the panic that made her tender flesh, her gentle kiss, a tad rushed, would be the last. It was calculated, a primal response to her Light Side energy, a near perfect counter attack. For the Dark Side around him had vanished, ceased wholly its work outwardly. Ben, whom conflict had stoked the chaotic, passionate nature of the Dark Side, was now resolute.

Odette would never understand as long as she held onto Luke and his Order. Even in his most desperate of hours, she still grasped for that decrepit, dead, fool. Ben's shivers stalled and behind his ravenous curls, he hid a cold indifference on his face. He frowned for a split-second then smiled tightly, his lip quivering just a bit.

Ben anchored himself to the ground, her judicious pull being met with inertia. "Odette," he uttered, his hand raising towards her face slowly, the Force assailing her body in a stasis locking field. In that state he allowed himself to cup her cheek, to let all of his affection seep through his skin and into her. His cold eyes looked for anything but her own. "I won't do this anymore. I imagined for months that I could convince you to join me but I was wrong... You will never abandoned this sham, this lie made real. The Jedi and the Rebellion are the ones who are evil, they've toss this galaxy into chaos. Allowed this mess of a reality to thrive."

The darkness inside held him, embraced him, swayed its malice to the brim, until nothing was left but an iota of light. His hand remained stretched out, a constant flux of Dark Side energy powering the stasis on her. "...Luke tried to kill me, did you know that? Did you even think him capable of such dark actions. I bet you didn't." Ben laughed, a great and terrible feeling reminding him of the Knights' arrival. "I'm going to destroy it all, Odette. I'll kill everything and everyone he's ever love and leave the thing I loved the most to bear witness."

He came to within in inch of her, finally allowing their eyes to meet. "I'm sorry, My one-and-only love," he told her, though his voice sounded unconvincing. Then with a decisive thrust of his hand over her head, he began the fight to subjugate her consciousness to sleep.

@AHeartlessNobody That sounded more eventful than I imagined it would be. That's good though.

Star Wars: A New Force

@AHeartlessNobody Great, I might be up when you finish, might not.

Regardless, how'd the hunt go?
