BEN  :

of course that isn’t nearly enough to throw luke skywalker from his doomed path.  but ben had tried to play softly for the sake of their shared blood, and the woman between them, she will not like to see her twin injured. there’s no choice now though. luke is standing in the path of his destiny using her as a method of quelling this bright red rage.   if he were foolish enough to continue letting the elder speaks, there is a chance that ben will leave here with him. but that’s not what he wants. it’s not allowed to happen.

“  avenging her husband, my father, is what my mother needs. you will not take that from her or me.  “    the lie slips off of his tongue with ease. lies are the young solo’s default, they have been as such for many years now. dad could always tell when his boy was lying, ben could always tell when han was lying. can luke tell ? it doesn’t really matter either way.  this is about ending the torment of snoke’s perverse hold over him which has led to an undeserved death of han solo. even now, ben can feel the sith’s presence somewhere within in, his wicked hands grabbing where they can. excited to see the dark side finally let lose.

reaching deep into the darkness within he breaks open that hidden cache of power. it’s been kept locked up tight for ben’s own fear over how dangerous it might be in his very hands. but now it’s needed, luke skywalker won’t ever give up, he knows that. there is too much love in luke’s heart for him and too much in his for luke. the only way to stop that is to douse his heart   in black and set it on fire. 

it floods his veins like liquid hot metal,   and hands shake with the sheer enormity about to be unleashed around them. a part of ben wants to warn the other. but it also seems pointless, luke will sense it all for himself. ben solo begins to step forth towards his kin. the very walls around them begin to crumble at a far more rapid pace than before. the debris is swift to form a chaotic storm, like a wind made of metal and rock swirling around them like madness. “  last warning. “ he says, the feelings of love for the man before him fallen too far into a void of nothingness.

𝙻𝚄𝙺𝙴  𝙲𝙰𝙽  𝙽𝙴𝚅𝙴𝚁  𝚂𝚃𝙾𝙿  𝚃𝚁𝚈𝙸𝙽𝙶,  even  if  it  breaks  him,  Ben  should  know  this  by  now.  he  should  know  how  much  selflessness  runs  through  his  uncle’s  veins,  star  bright  ——  but  he  is  human  too,  no  matter  how  much  the  universe  tries  to  paint  him  golden,  to  carve  him  from  myth.  he  will  bleed  here,  crashing  against  Ben’s  darkened  power,  he  will,  if  Ben  won’t  have  it  any  other  way,  if  his  words  won’t  manage  to  get  through  to  him.  it  doesn’t  feel  like  bravery,  this  planting  his  feet  on  the  ground  like  he  wants  to  keep  them  there  forever,  it  is  tragedy  wrought,  pained,  atlas  gritting  his  teeth  as  his  back  starts  to  cave  in. «  we  will  defeat  Snoke,  but  not  like  this ——  please,  Ben.  please  just  listen.  »    he  is  standing,  yet  it  feels  like  he  is  kneeling  as  pleas  leave  his  lips,  not  for  himself,  never  that.    Ben,  focus  ——  please.  listen  to  me.    his  own  voice,  but  younger,  it  comes  to  him  from  the  past,  a  memory,  now  bittersweet.  the  pleading  soft,  that time,  meant  to  soothe  after  hours  of  training,  nothing  close  to  the  desperate  tilt  of  his  present  self’s  voice.

was  it  me  ?   did  I  push  you  too  hard  ?   I’m  sorry.    grief  choked,  these  are  the  thoughts  that  cling  to  his  mind  like  vines,  unvoiced,  not  meant  to  be  heard. «  you’re  wasting  your  time.  I  am  not  leaving  you  behind.  »    no,  this  is  not  how  it  ends  here,  boy  :  Luke  is  relentless,  and  he  will  be  so  until  he  is  on  the  ground,  broken limbed,  blood  seeping  from  his  mouth.  it’s  foolish,  maybe,  to  still  face  danger  knowing  the  most  likely  outcome,  to  still  hold  the  lightsaber  a  little  reluctantly,  like  he  would  rather  let  it  slip  from  his  grasp  than  hurt  his  beloved  nephew,  but  this  is  who  he  is  and  will  always  be,  after  all.  a  protector,  not  a  warrior.

luke has always liked warm colors the most.  yellow and orange are his favorites,  however,  and it also shows in his clothing  :  he can often be seen wearing bright yellow jackets and soft orange sweaters.  so give him anything in these colors and he will be happy  --  yes,  even socks or hats  !!

BEN  :

of course he knows this won’t bring han back. doing this won’t bring back anyone that they’ve lost over the years. it won’t bring him any peace or closure. it will bring him nothing. but after so long of always running from the order, desperate to stay out of their clutches, even as little more than a small child. vengeance is finally at hand. he’s had enough of them, of snoke, all thinking they can use him as their personal weapon for the dark side cause. and if a weapon is what they want, they’re going to get it. except he’s going to fire straight at them like un-tamable hell fire.

“  trust me. you’re going to move one way or another, skywalker.  “  his tone is serious, no hint of any solo mirth, no skywalker gentleness. it borders on the haunting tone of KYLO REN. the man from many of ben’s nightmares coming to life. he tears the heavy metal panels away from their walls, launching them without remorse towards the uncle he loved so dearly. there’s a fine line between love and hate, he realises how true that is now. though hate beats furiously in the younger mans heart right now. love still sits so very close next to it. so close that they blend    into one another almost seamlessly. and that’s what allows him to make this first attack.

at this point ben decides to draw his saber. it crackles to life,  sending a purple illumination all around the darkness about them.  “  —-i’ll never forgive myself.  “  the young solo’s feet move of their own accord, ready to strike where his uncle next appears. a few bits of metal aren’t enough to stop luke skywalker after all.

𝙷𝙸𝚂  𝙷𝙴𝙰𝚁𝚃  𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙺𝚂,  as if struck,  but his body doesn’t betray him.  a swipe of his hand takes most of the metal out of his way,  the rest he dogdes,  jumping forward.  the tone Ben used worries him more than his actions  ——  cold,  void of anything familiar.  Skywalker..  it feels like he is trying to dig a wound instead of calling him by his name.  the ache seeps through his ribs and settles there,  hurting,  making its way to his heart like fast acting poison. «  it’s not too late,  Ben.  »    Luke clings to his nephew’s name,  instead,  uses it like a lifeline,  never as a dagger to throw at him.  as a beacon to show Ben the way back from the dark slope he is running towards.  if he powers on his own lightsaber it is just for precaution,  reassuring green against the threat of darkness around them,  to defend himself against any blow his nephew might launch.  what he feels swirling within Ben is enough to make him shiver and grind his teeth,  yet the thought of attacking him doesn’t cross his mind.  he only wishes to protect him from it,  even if it might be too late for that. «  your mother  ——  she needs you more than ever.  »    this certainty comes right from the heart,  not the Force,  he uses it as a last chance,  last hope.  fire burning low,  embers dimly glowing.  still there,  despite everything.  still trying to warm those around him.  never caring to check if there is enough left for himself  ——  because the truth is he would rather freeze than give up this fight.
