Kylo Ren

29 | Dark Side User | Supreme Leader Kylo Ren

Luke had fooled him so completely that all he could do was brood on his failure. Many of his Stormtroopers ended up on the chopping block, a few of them quite swiftly. Kylo Ren was exactly where he always knew he would be, at the head of the galaxy, a shadow version of his once childish dream, but a version nonetheless. His eyes had fallen into a darker shade, Kylo Ren had studied and heard about features changing upon delving into the Dark Side, but his particular affliction was different. Was he even truly of the Dark Side? his soul felt free of Snoke, but now he floated in an ocean of gray.

He had a Knight of Ren with him, unhelm and wearing casual garb. She hung her head low to whisper in his ear, he had fancied the small canteen but it was far too loud and lively for regular talk. A long scar mirrored his own-she was exceptionally loyal to him. Her blond hair touched his shoulder. "General Hux, is requesting an audience for the umpteenth time."

Kylo Ren faced the stage. "And? let him wait. Hux is a sniveling creature."

"... Then why keep him?"

The question brought pause to him, then remembrance. Kylo Ren smirked behind the large hood of his black cowl. "Simple, a cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. Go back and personally inform the cur that I'll visit him once I return. Be sure to really put on the airs."

"As you wish, Supreme Leader." She bowed once more before duking away. Soon afterwards the sound of a speeder hummed and vanished into the distance. Kylo Ren could feel Tesla's thread in the Force dwindling, even still, it lurked alongside the other Knights of Ren.

Kylo sighed lightly, leaning back in the decrepit chair. "...Od-" he stopped the words in their tracks. "Kill the past to become who you're meant to be." An image of Rey flourished in his head. He smiled contently, almost cockily. "Rey... You are my future. Whether that be my enemy or apprentice."

Sounds good. Like maybe he sees her in passing through the crowds of people but thinks he's going crazy. Until she's up on stage and he realizes that it was her and that she's still alive. X3 and Poe stepping between them when he sees them thinking he's coming to her rescue from some drunk or Casanova. I love it all lol.

As far as where to go from here, I do want to have one or two shared visions with Odette and Ben, him simply thinking he's either dreaming or seeing her Force ghost. Other than that, I was thinking of going ahead and going past TLJ (just saying that Luke didn't die). Perhaps with them all going back to Luke for Rey to finish her training? Finn and Poe coming along for support (and maybe curious about the Force themselves and this Jedi Master. Maybe Leia with them? Or maybe we could say they've all already been there a few months post TLJ and Rey has been slowly advancing in her Jedi training. From there, we could have something happen to Luke. Perhaps they go on some mission where they run into Ben and he finally strikes Luke down? Or something else?
It's completely up for debate on where we go from here and what we do xD Just figured it might be better to bypass TLJ since we're only changing that Luke is Alive lol. But just let me know what you think and we can discuss.

I think at first I'll have Odette soully refer to him as Ben, stating she refuses to call him otherwise because she believes he's still in there somewhere, she just has to pull him back from the dark. So yes, Rey referring to him as Kylo Ren would definitely edge on her nerves haha.

@AHeartlessNobody

I agree with going pass TLJ. I'll get a post out soon-ish or later on tonight.

Gundam Build Divers: Neo

@vancexentan We did. I was had actually placed it in there first, but I didn't want to cause confusion. I think @Shiyonichi's post had mentioned a timeskip. I didn't want people thinking a timeskip occured after a timeskip.

@Renny

My friend and I finished the original trilogy lol. She left and we shall watch the prequels another day. So I am ready to write now X3

Also, I was listening to music and came up with a small edit to our plans for Poe, kind of mixing my idea with yours in a way. So, what if, when Odette and Poe have to pose as a couple and such, end up forced into a situation where they have to kiss to not draw suspicion. Steming from that and a few other things, it comes to be that Poe ends up with feelings for Odette. Feelings of course she wouldn't feel the same about, still in love with Ben, but just him having feelings for Odette is enough to send Kylo into a rage to hurt Poe when he gets him alone. Maybe even Poe, being his normal witty self, egging him on about how Ben gave her up when he turned to the dark side and how she could never want him now that he's a part of the dark side, etc.
Of course when Poe meets Tatooine Girl later on, his feelings for Odette subside, but I figured it'd be a good little plot handle to annoy Ben for a bit XD

Also, don't ask me why, but for some reason I really want Odette to sing at some point. So I was thinking, that way it's not too forced of a situation with a song she sings, maybe she and Poe take up the identities of two real people that have never been seen by the planet they are undercover at. Famous people that can give Odette and Poe access to more information if they pretend to be them (perhaps they knock out the people and still some sort of identification badge). Unknown to them though, the woman that Odette takes the identity of is a performer, a famous singer meant to sing on stage at the party they are infiltrating. So Odette is kind of in a forced situation, telling the others quickly to get searching for whatever it is they need while she's a distraction on stage. And though she's nervous, never done such a thing as sing in front of so many people (maybe in front of Ben if we want, but never in front of anyone else).

Anyway, she sings and I figure this could be a chain reaction to a few things. One being her singing can be a kind of jump start for Poe's feelings toward her. Another can be to put a bit of sorrow in Ben, him seeing her sing either in person or through a hologram. And, I was thinking that, this is where Rey and the others start to begin to think there's more to Odette and Ben's history than she's letting on (this being before Odette tells them about her relationship with Ben in the past).
For the song, I was deciding between two.
This first one is a solo version of the one I showed you before. I figure that if it were this one it could have a sorrowful effect for Ben, especially if its an old song either he or Odette sung when they were kids. Maybe we could even have a Force Vision before this part that she and Ben have together, watching their child selves interacting and singing this together.


The second one is this song. This one I liked because it showed how much Odette still cares for Ben, saying how none of the finest things in the universe could be enough for her if she didn't have Ben at her side. I also figure that it would be more effective for the whole Poe thing with it being such a strong and emotion filled song.


They both have their obvious good points XD IDK, what do you think of all these ideas? Did we want to keep some of the ideas and scrap others? It's all pretty much up for discussion so let me know what you think.

@AHeartlessNobody

I think the Poe and Odette idea is interesting. I want to go along with it. Listening to the two choices I'll go along with the first, on the merits that it makes the most sense. Her and Ben has this song almost planted inside of them and with Odette, not being exactly being musician its the only song I can see her singing in that position. I imagine the crowd goes wild for her, that Poe falls for Odette in such an intense manner, that Kylo, who was pulled into a kind of spiritual nostalgia because of the song, feels a challenge in the Force.

I personally want Kylo in the canteen, albeit not on official 'First Order' business, just a visiting traveler. This could be his first realization that Odette is alive. Putting into motion a heartfelt if not agonizing meeting between the two cloaked figures. Ben Solo the visiting traveler and Odette, the fake singer.

I can also see a slight confrontation happening between Poe and Kylo here too. Perhaps he thinks Odette's being bothered by a drunk or casanova, only for it to be the infamous Kylo Ren. 'Course this is optional.

Also where exactly do you want to continue the story? between TFA and TLJ? or somewhere between those two periods in time. Also, also, I was thinking about this fascination he has for, Rey. I want there be some fledging intimacy between them. She of course-depending on where we're starting this at-either hates or wants to save him. Either way, she talks about Kylo Ren a lot and Odette might find this annoying, seeing as she views Kylo as Ben and not the other way around.

Just to let you know, I took Kylo to the south-sector so that I could comfortably maneuver him depending on your answers to the timeline question.

Isamu dove into GBN in search of his once-upon a teammates. He wouldn't relax until he could gather them all in one place again. He went through his short friends list and sent them all a video message. "Guys, lets do a mission together. I think we had something pretty amazing before. Meet me at the lobby, I'll wait for as long as it takes."

Isamu shoved his hands into his pockets, where nothing but digital air resided. A moment after waiting, Daigo motioned towards him. The tall man paused next to him, attracting the eyes of the few players in the lobby. "K-Kawaguchi?"

"Daigo, Isamu. I approached you with friendship, the least I can do is allow you to be informal."

Isamu wasn't sure how to take the man's tone. "Well... Thanks I guess. So what brings you around?"

"You and your Force. I have something planned for you guys."

Kylo Ren

20 | Master of the Knights of Ren

Kylo was drenched with sweat and sticky blood. His newly refurbished lightsaber, now black with two vents jutting from its hilt, was tightly held against the cobblestoned arena. Four of the Knights of Ren, two of which had been harmed and slumped against pillars, were his opponents. Rain pelted the energy shields protecting their interior, the castlesque home was primal, thick with the Dark Side, and foreboding. A lance of lightning painted the room bright blue.

A Knight wielding a bowstaff complete with a red laser blade at its tips, twirled it and danced towards, Kylo Ren. In the pass two weeks, Snoke had taught him the basics of what he could only grasp by instinct. The control that Luke always preached but never taught. Kylo Ren pounced backwards, igniting his archaic lightsaber. He fiddled with a nuanced finger, a tiny thing that pulled at the man's jacket and pulled him to the left. The Knight's balance had been thrown off, he slipped partially but reinforced his Force Shield, and charged head on. Kylo landed and just as quick dashed forwards, his blade raised in such a manner that piercing stab was all that was possible.

Just as the two were to clash, a energy froze them, literally. Kylo Ren could not help but feel violated. Snoke's guttural voice bellowed, a hologram of his deformed face appeared above them. "Kylooooo! Return to me, I have a mission for you, Apprentice."

The battle halted and with order to standby, The Knights of Ren bidded their champion and master goodbye. Upon the Abyss, Kylo Ren fitted his armor and newly made helm. He wanted to honor his grandfather's legacy, to stand up to his most terrifying of presences. Outfitted completely, Kylo Ren answers his summonings from Snoke, his voice synthesized... just like his grandfather's. "Supreme Leader, what can I do to appease you?"

Snoke snapped into existence. "Kylo Ren, your armor makes for a daunting form. It would have brought great pride to Darth Vader."

"Thank you, Supreme Leader."

"The First Order shrinks in the southern-most sector of Galaxy. Go, rest control from those weaklings. Teach them, no, show them all the emergence of a new Vader."

"You will will be done, Supreme Leader. Should I bring aboard the Knights of Ren as well?"

"No, I have a separate mission for them. You shall do this alone, making your merits all the more indomitable."

Kylo Ren bowed his head even lower and Snoke vanished from his room. He made for the south sector of the galaxy, prepare to quell any and all conflicts.

The Millennium Falcon's ramp dropped down. Han, Leia, and Chewbacca came out, all wore a face of apprehension. Leia had felt a great rip in the Force, one that echoed a terrible heartache. When she had first felt it, the anguish and pain had doubled her over with sadness. She urged Han to go to Luke and Ben, and Han, always with his friend, Chewbacca, made way for now decimated island.

"I don't like the feel of this, Chewie. Its too quiet for a school of teenage wizards."

Chewbacca roared his agreement.

Leia made her move first, running straight for something neither of them had took notice of... Odette. The once General grabbed the girl by her hands, the Force had whispered what happened but she just had to hear it for herself. "Where are they? where's Ben? where's Luke?"
