Vader Lives

[Kyrel Ren]

​

Mustafar, Vader's Castle​

Kyrel had returned to Mustafar days after the battle between the First Order and Galactic Alliance. He had went through so much during his battle against the Jedi. He had encountered Sith Training droids, Ancient Sith hounds, and a long dead Sith Lord by the name of Darth Thaxsis. He had originally come here at the start of battle for Vader's Armor and still wished to claim it even if he was mislead in the first place by the Ancient Sith he believed that he had the knowledge of where Vader's Armor was and he was determined to find it. His TIE Advanced zoomed through the ash and sulfuric filled atmosphere as the Lava rivers flowed the TIE made it's way to a landing platform outside the castle and descended slowly upon the platform.

Kyrel hopped out of the fighter. He walked in a purposeful stride along the Obsidian and Durasteel floors. He had come here again seeking what he had desired the most, and he would claim it weather the Sith Spirit would let him or not. He could clearly sense the presence awaken as he entered inside and traveled down the stairs to the levels of the Sith Temple. knowing that the spirit must have sensed Kyrel approach and eagerly awaited him with growing anticipation. Kyrel walked along the path of the old obsidian walls filled with remains of Sith Training droids, Geonosian Commando Droids, and even long dead skeletons of what he presumed as Jedi and Sith. He did not care as he knew the spirit was waiting for him, and all he cared about was his prize and that was the only thing on his mind.

Kyrel than began to approach the same entry he had seen earlier with the same inscribing of Darth Thaxsis's tomb. He walked inside the Ancient Tuk'ata hounds growled as he made his way inside but would dare not attack him. He made his way to the coffin where Thaxsis was waiting for him with a grin on his face. "Ah boy you have returned ready to finish what we started." Kyrel pointed his index finger at him and said in a demanding tone. "Yes let's get on with it"

 

[Kyrel Ren]

The spirit looked at him with delightful intent as he had waited forever to take Kyrel's body as his own, since being interrupted during the Battle of Mustafar it was all Thaxsis could think about now was his chance. He thought to himself gleefully as his shadowy form descended slowly across the stone tiles to Kyrel. 'At last I will live again Soon I will rule again.' It was all he could think about as he had dreaded moments to see such things to feel a heart beat, to hear the roar of lava, to even taste the air in his mouth or even smell the sweet scent of death as corpses littered his path. Soon it would be all his. He asked Kyrel with a sweet sick tone sounding pleasant in asking him, but also sounded like Kyrel had no choice in the matter. "Are you sure about this boy, who knows what can happen?" Kyrel scoffed and replied to him barely containing his rage. "Just get on with it now!" The spirit merely gave him a feral grin as he chuckled and replied with sadistic glee. "Very well!"

The spirit than repeated the process of vanishing like mist as he had done so before and went through Kyrel's filtration system. Unlike before as the spirit went inside his body. Kyrel dropped to the ground convulsing as his body adjusted to the spirit's will overriding his. It felt like whatever muscle he had left was just twitching as it was fighting against the entity that was trying to take control. Kyrel tried to shut his eyes tightly as he felt his skin crawl, this experience was nothing compared to the last possession as the last one was only minor in comparison. Kyrel bit down a scream of pain as his stomach twisted into knots and felt as if he was burning all over. In the meantime he could hear the spirit cackle in his head drowning out any sound as it greatly intensified and even felt like his own eardrums would burst. He than succumbed to the pain, and darkness quickly swept over him. All he could hear as his eyes closed was the sound of cackling still being there echoing in his mind.

The next thing Kyrel saw was the familiar walls of the Bastion. He stood in the middle of the floor of a hall that led to many rooms like the Bastion on Virgillia. Kyrel thought to himself as he looked around. 'What sorcery is this? Are we in my mind?' He said as he wandered the halls aimlessly, and even saw a door on the left, it looked to be glowing and however Kyrel was cautious he would still find a way to get out and make Thaxsis pay and get the information he sought after. He entered the door not knowing who, or what awaited him. Meanwhile at the end of the great hall Thaxsis sat on the throne ready to see what would become of his host, and how he would accomplish his tasks or even face his demons, his fears and even himself to even make it out and regain control, but he had confidence that Kyrel would fail.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel walked through the door and encountered someone who he thought was long gone. Right in front of what looked to be a training room stood in front of him was himself, but not just himself but Thomas Kyrel. The side of him he had thought that was long destroyed, but still remained. Kyrel was shocked, and even speechless he would never suspect Thaxsis to go within the depths of his mind to take control, and even though this must be all a game Kyrel knew in a way these were his trials that he must overcome. He slowly stepped forward to the man who stood patiently with a pleasant smile on his face that sickened Kyrel to his very core. He said angrily. "What trickery is this, what and who are you?" Thomas merely laughed at Kyrel's odd question and answered matter of factly "What do you mean Kyrel Ren if that is who you are now? I am you, I have always been you."

Kyrel scoffed as he stepped forward slowly, He had the overwhelming desire to choke the life out of the man that he hated the most, he loathed himself because he saw nothing more but weakness not the same person he was today who embodied the dark side itself, and now a fanatical Knight of Ren that served the Supreme Leader. He was nothing like the man who was nothing more than canon fodder for the First Order, a man who was too blinded by foolish and broken dreams to achieve true potential. Kyrel asked him patiently as he said the man's name with Venom in his tone. "Well than Thomas why are you here?" Thomas cocked his head as if he took the moment to think and replied as if he knew the answer to the question all along. "Well my other half, I am what you fear, I am the other half that you have tried to bury for so long. The being you have wished to destroy for so very long. The voice inside you're head that always speak to you, but you ignore it as if you can't even hear me."

Kyrel growled in anger wanting nothing more than the man to shut up, he said to him angrily as he reached for the hilt of his lightsaber and activated it with a snap hiss. "If you want to die than that can be arranged you pest." Thomas started laughing loudly as if he had taken Kyrel's threat as the funniest joke in the galaxy and than gave a humble grin as he replied. "Well you may try but I will not make it easy for you, you must defeat me." Kyrel scoffed as he raised his blade in a falling avalanche strike. "Fool you brought this upon yourself." He than let his blade down intent on cleaving across his chest, but was suddenly blocked by a green blade, as Thomas pushed him back. Kyrel readied himself in a offensive stance. "Prepare yourself than." He said as Thomas went into a battle ready stance ready for the battle to begin.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel positioned his saber in a offensive stance eyeing Thomas with deadly intent. He spoke the rage clear as day in his tone. "Prepare to die than fool." Thomas replied cockily raising his saber up. "We shall see Mechanical monstrosity, I am another path you could have chosen besides being a mechanical monstrosity." Kyrel growled as he charged upon him and started his brutal onslaught. He started with powerful heavy attacks. Thomas met everyone as if he knew Kyrel's movements going into a Form III defensive, Kyrel tried harder at breaking his defences, but Thomas seemed to notice every one of Kyrel's movements and even had a calm look on his face. He said calmly to Kyrel. "Give up my machine friend, I know you all too well." Kyrel roared in furious anger as he kept unleashing downward strikes up but Thomas still had the same calm smug look as ever. Kyrel's anger was increasing as if it was an anger of himself he had never felt before.

He kept attacking more and more, but little did he know Thomas gained an opening on Kyrel's knee causing sparks, Kyrel screamed as he knelled, and Thomas looked at him as if he were pathetic. "Give up Kyrel, you were always weak from the start, you have allowed the dark side to consume you burying all trace of emotion or even Compassion now I will release you from you're misery." In that moment Kyrel gave into his rage refusing to give in, or even fall before what was supposed to be his test. He would not fall, he would not die for that would be a disgrace. He would than say in defiant fury. "You will not beat me child, I am more powerful than you, the dark side is always powerful let me show you!!" He than focused his rage into a Force Push sending Thomas flying clutching his saber hilt. He than moved to get back up slight sparks coming out of his leg as he made his way over.

He than approached Thomas who was shaking his head recovering but immediately reactivated his blade upon seeing Kyrel. Kyrel did not waste any time and lifted him up with the force choking him slowly. Thomas in the midst of his struggle tried to helplessly beg for mercy. "Kyrel you need not do this, you need me" Kyrel scoffed at him as he raised his blade, and said "You were a child, I do not need you." He said as the blade finally came down on Thomas cutting him, but no body hit the ground as if he were also a specter he than yelled "THAXSIS WHAT ARE YOU UP TOO." Kyrel heard Thaxsis speak to him as if his voice came from the walls. "Soon dark one you have two more trials till you face me." He roared angrily as he stomped his way through the halls he than made his way to yet another room, but this room would be the archives covered in scores of holo books. His second test was about to begin.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

The Archive room was similar to like that of the Bastion, filled with endless scores of holo books weather it be histories and records of the first Incarnation of the First Order and Galactic Empire that came before it, to Ancient Texts regarding the ancient histories of the Jedi and Sith. Yet Kyrel knew this was only an illusion some elaborate test created by Darth Thaxsis to see if he would fail and let his will be erased, and his body to be used by an intruder, or could he face his demons, and challenge Thaxsis in gaining his body back. He looked around as he stepped forward, his lightsaber in hand but still remained deactivated. He than called out impatiently. "Wherever you are come out now!! I am in no mood for games."

Suddenly a feminine voice was heard from the shadows of the stacks of holobooks. It sounded familiar as the figure approached. "I assure you this is no game Kyrel, if it was well than I believe this is round 2 for the fun has only begun." He was surprised as he said momentarily shocked by her presence. "No it can't be....You are dead." She just gave him a sadistic smile. The figure revealed itself to be none other than Charlyra Araano the Jedi Padawan he killed during the Battle of Kaeshana, and the first Jedi to fall by his hand. She also caused him to loose faith in the dark side for sometime, and doubt his own power and strength within the force after his crushing defeat by her hand. She answered in a sickly sweet tone of voice as if she was amused. "Can't you guess Yes I am dead, but I was also you're greatest triumph and you're weakness. After my death I still beat now what are you?" She let out a laugh as she finished her last sentence clearly trying to mock the mechanical monstrosity.

Kyrel would have none of it, and spoke with a great venom in his voice, as he pointed his index finger at her. "I am more powerful than you think girl, I have you to thank for that you may have robbed me of my confidence and my saber, but you also made me stronger and even less arrogant." Charlyra gave a snort and chuckled at his words as she said cockily. "Well than Mechanical monstrosity tell me, why am I inside your head, why am I here as a fear of yours hmmmm." Kyrel clenched his fists angrily as he even started to make his way past her, not believing that she was worth the time or the effort for constant banter. As he tried to move past her she stopped him by force pushing him back and said defiantly "Oh no you don't, we have round 2 to complete, and unless you want to get to three, you will have to go through me." Kyrel growled in anger as he just stood there growing tired of the games, he clenched his saber tightly as he would endure what was to come, kill her, move on and eventually get out of the hell he was in and take his body back.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel grabbed his saber, as he was growing tired of the deceased's girl's games. He activated it with a snap hiss the red blade coming to life as he looked at the figure with an icy stare. He said to her the venom still raw through his vocabulater. "I grow tired of this time to end you." He moved to strike her with all the rage he had hoping to go past her and onto his third test. He moved into to strike her but she raised a hand and he stopped as if he was frozen in place. She gave him a smirk as she said. "Very well but let's take a look at you shall we." She laughed as she showed memories of Kyrel, of his childhood living in squalor, of having to steal to survive and how he loathed his life, than when the First Order arrived on Dosuun and how he had joined the TIE fighter corps just to get a better life. He dropped to his knees as being witnessed to his memories was a head splitting experience. He groaned as he clutched his helmet, his lightsaber deactivated and dropped to the floor. He would soon bore witness to the accident that happened and his body being destroyed in the process.

Charlyra laughed in the meantime as she said looking at the memories that were out in the open on display. "You see Lord Kyrel I am not here to fight but merely break you, to use your own fears, doubts to kill you, to destroy you till you are nothing but a speck of a memory that will be long forgotten within the pages of history." She said with a calm tone, but emphasized Lord as to mock him. Kyrel writhed in pain as the memories he bore witnessed to grew worse with each passing moment. He than saw the one of his defeat during the Battle of Kaeshana, and Charlyra laughed as she watched him, she pointed to the memory and said delightfully. "Ohhhh this one is my favorite." It was all shown to him within in an instant, his duel with Charlyra and Trextan, and how his body was crushed moments after stabbing Charlyra with his saber. It was agonizing to watch it all, it was as if his mind was going to explode, and he even bit down a scream of rage even though such would be relieving at this very moment, he would not do it for the dead girl's satisfaction.

She than came to him, and spoke to him as if it was a triumphant whisper. "You see, I do not need to beat you through weapons or through the force. The mind is the best weapon of all, for years all you have known is pain, and here your story will end consumed by your pain and your own ambitions. Today Kyrel you will be vaporized from history all that you have wished for or ever dreamed will never come to fruition. I have won in the end you see it is pointless to resist." She let out a laugh knowing that she was going to beat him, and despite the pain Kyrel would not allow for him to be beaten so easily, he had so much to accomplish, he had so much to do his path had barely even begun and yet he was going to die like this. No he wouldn't allow it. He said to her angrily. "No! You think you have won girl, no it is you who are beaten on this day." Kyrel through the pain summoned his saber to him and activated it with a snap hiss. Charlyra was shocked her eyes widened barely even able to comprehend what was happening, it was clear even in her tone of voice. "No!! Impossible how...." Before she could even finish Kyrel slowly through his pain stabbed her in the gut, as he once did on Kaeshana, she collapsed to the ground Kyrel's memories disappeared as if they were but clouds of smoke. Kyrel slowly stood up deactivating his saber and looking down upon Charlyra. "You may use my own pain against me, but no one knows it like I do, you can never kill me with the very thing that created me." She let out a chuckle, as if she had a smile on her face, even in her final moments right now she still had a look of peace. "You can never escape it, but we shall see." Her eyes than closed as if she slept peacefully.

Kyrel walked out of the room, as a new door opened, the apparition faded as the second trial was passed, meanwhile Thaxsis watched it all with great interest. "You may have passed your two trials with great skill dark one, but the third test may not be so easy before you face me." He cackled as he would enjoy what was in store for the mechanical monstrosity. Kyrel walked through the halls he could sense Thaxsis and knew he was getting close, and would relish it when he would destroy the spirit and gain control of his body, as he made his way to the throne room. He saw his room, his room blocked his path, but it glowed. 'Another Test he thought.' He entered slowly and cautiously never knowing what he would encounter within the room, but as soon as he entered he saw a young woman right in front of him. "Hello Master." She said and all Kyrel could do was stare dumbfounded at what was right before him. It was none other than his right hand [member="Skylar Walker"].

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel couldn't believe what he was seeing. The woman that stood right in front of him was the one who some say knew him best, memories came flooding back of the time he had found her, to the time they were at the ball prior to the Battle of Mustafar and not long after the Battle of Kaeshana, she was one of the only ones who knew who or what he was behind the mask, and at times he even showed who he was as Thomas Kyrel to her. He had even slept with her. He thought to himself his eyes widening at the very sight that was before him at this very moment. 'What no... What is this trickery Thaxsis.' A ghostly apparition of Darth Thaxsis appeared and looked at him with a smirk chuckling as he reached over to give him a haunting whisper. "Isn't it obvious dark one, your third and final test would be one that would mirrior the first." Kyrel looked at him his blood boiling, it was clear that Skylar couldn't see him, or she would have said something by now. "Why of all people, why her?" He looked at him with sadistic glee as he explained it to him. "Well isn't it obvious for Sith to truly embrace who they were they had to choose a sacrifice, in order for they're chains to be broken they had to kill the one they loved most. From your memories you care for this girl, and so you can never break your chains, you can never be Kyrel. In order to pass this trial you must preform the sacrifice. I do look forward to see how this will play out."

Kyrel glared angrily at him as the spirit faded away cackling at the irony of it all. Skylar just stood there dumbfounded as Kyrel walked forward. He asked her as if her sight disgusted him. "Skylar if you value you're life please leave." She looked at him as if she was confused she even reached over to nestle her head into his armor, trying to hear his heart beat. "But why Master, you need me by your side. I care for you too much for you to leave." Even at this moment Kyrel was torn as he had never felt love before, he hated everything that was going on, and even hated that he was doing this, again his inner thoughts were raging a war, a war between what was Kyrel Ren and Thomas Kyrel. "Just do as I say please I don't want to hurt you." She looked at him sternly, it was obvious that a Mandalorian like her was most stubborn and was not able to back down. "No!! I won't I came here to tell you that we are both the same you and I master. I won't leave you I love you. Blast the war, and everything, let's run away together where we can be happy. Leave everything behind, the First Order, the Supreme Leader, you're pain everything and find happiness with me please. All I want is to please you like I always have, but not as your servant, I want to love you, but please leave it all behind."

Kyrel was torn he even felt like he couldn't do it. Kyrel was telling him. 'You fool, she is only holding you back, she knows nothing of true power. Love is but for the weak, you are strong don't let her corrupt you.' However Thomas was telling him different. 'Can't you see, you're pain can finally come to an end you don't need to stick to the dark side to survive any longer. She is willing to be your saviour to sacrifice it all. Please there is still hope for redemption.' Kyrel was torn as he said. "But I have done horrible things. It is far too late for me. I have killed children, suffered in a living hell made of metal, It is far too late for me." Skylar looked up at him the tears could be seen in her eyes, as she spoke carefully removing Kyrel's mask and helmet, as Kyrel didn't mind her gentle touch. "I don't care about any of that. All I want is to be with you please, we can leave and start a life together you and me." She moved in closer as she kissed his soft lips deeply as if she was using all of her love to bring his dead heart back to life. For a moment Kyrel wanted to give in, and leave everything behind. He so desperately wanted to leave the dark side, his pain, all of it if it means having a life where he didn't have any mistakes and with her. 'I'm so sorry but I must obey the Supreme Leader there is no turning back for me.' He thought as he was momentarily lost in her embrace, but than came the snap his and the appearance of his crimson blade going through her. She stopped the kiss to let out a grasp, she looked at him her mouth a gape, and her eyes widened it hurt him to see her like this. he deactivated his lightsaber, and for a moment his lightsaber dropped and his mask and helmet appeared. Her hand caressed his mask as she started to breathing her last breaths, and as she was carried in Kyrel's arms it pained him as he lowered her gently to the ground the tears almost welling up in his eyes. "I am so sorry apprentice. I must do this."

She still clutched to Kyrel as he let her down gently, comforting her as best she could before dying. Than within moments the apparition of her faded. Kyrel even though he felt pain, and even screamed in rage for what he had done, he felt stronger more powerful than before, but now all he had was the intent to kill as he made his way out of his room using the force to summon the hilt of his saber back into his hand. His third and final test was over, now it was time put an end to these games and illusions, he would walk towards the path leading to the great wall. He used the force to push open the doors activating his saber, and spoke the rage clear in his voice to the man that was sitting on the throne covered in dark robes. "Time to end these games Thaxsis." Thaxsis laughed at Kyrel's threat. "If you think you are strong enough than by all means come and face me." It was time for the battle for possession of Kyrel's body to finally begin.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Thaxsis produced a lightsaber from his cloak and jumped down to stand several feet away from Kyrel, He raised it in and offensive stance, while Kyrel raised his in the same offensive stance holding the hilt in a two handed style. Thaxsis looked at him as if he knew how to beat him, and said smugly. "You may have passed my tests, but you won't beat me Kyrel that I can assure you." Kyrel scoffed as he replied back to him with venom in his voice he said coldly. "You dare try to use my mind against me spirit, I assure you you will not stand against me, these tests have only made me stronger in the process. Now let's begin." Thaxsis nodded as the time for words at this point were over. Thaxsis charged at him engaging him with Form IV using a mix of acrobatics and speed to overwhelm Kyrel. Kyrel was unfamiliar and so went back on the defensive. Thaxsis moved in spins and kicks determined to beat Kyrel using Kyrel's condition against him, but all this did was increase Kyrel's rage as he started rushing forward pushing Thaxsis back with heavy and hard hitting power attacks.

Kyrel used his new found rage and power to gain the advantage against Thaxsis, but during one of Thaxsis flips he managed to land a strike on Kyrel's left arm sending sparks flying violently. Kyrel likewise gave a deep cut to Thaxsis face which left him screaming in rage. The two blades clashed in what seemed like forever neither one of the combatants giving in in what looked to be a vicious dance of death. Kyrel managed to get past Thaxsis's Form IV tactics and even stabbed his leg which caused Thaxsis to step back finally breaking the silence. "Your skills are formidable when it comes to the Lightsaber armored one, but let's see how you are when it comes to the force." He deactivated his saber and extended both his hands out using the force to sends objects hurling at Kyrel from statues to rocks. Kyrel retaliated with cutting as many objects as he could. One object a statue of the Supreme Leader hit him sending his saber flying out of his hands and onto the floor with a clank as the saber deactivated. Thaxsis just grinned as he than sent the ceiling collapsing on Kyrel. For a moment Kyrel was stunned and he even was buried underneath the rubble.

Kyrel roared with rage as he thought to himself 'No it will not end like this I won't.' He than focused all of his rage, and turned it as fuel for his power pushing the rocks off of him, Thaxsis looked at him shocked as Kyrel spoke to him angrily. "ENOUGH!! Time to get you out of my head Sith Trash." Thaxsis looked shocked as Kyrel extended his hands out open palmed and delivered a powerful force push sending Thaxsis flying. Thaxsis hit the wall coughing a bit of blood as he fell to the ground. Kyrel advanced upon him, getting his lightsaber from the ground and reigniting it. He raised over his head as he was about to deliever the death blow. "It is time for an ending." As he did this Thaxsis laughed and said as he looked at Kyrel with burning yellow eyes. "Did you think it would be that easy, guess again." All of a sudden blue torrents of lightning came out of his fingertips. Kyrel was caught off guard and raised his saber to deflect it, but didn't react enough in time to stop it. He roared in pain as he fell to his knees Thaxsis spoke triumphantly as he still unleashed his lightning upon the cyborg. "You see Kyrel even in you're mind you still loose, I must say you have given me the best fun I have had in centuries but alas the game is over and it is time to end this little encounter."

Throughout the pain Kyrel refused to give up, and wouldn't allow his body to belong to a long dead spirit he wouldn't allow it. He looked at him clutching his saber tightly as he began to painfully move closer where he was inches from the Sith. "That is something we can both agree on Thaxsis." Thaxsis stared at him his mouth opened wide as he said. "What..Bu-" Before he could even finish Kyrel's saber cleaved into Thaxsis in half even as he delivered torrents of lightning upon him. Soon Thaxsis fell to the floor now in two as Kyrel stood over him deactivating his saber. Kyrel said to him coldly. "As I have said you cannot kill me with the thing that created me, I was born from pain, I thrive in it, I was molded by it now you see that was you're folly." As Thaxsis looked upon him breathing his final breaths he did not look dissatisfied or even angry, he looked proud even though it puzzled Kyrel, he spoke to the being that defeated him. "I knew there was a reason I liked you dark one, you may have beaten me Kyrel but you may never escape me for I will always be inside you, I will always live through you, Live with that as I pass on." The dark shadow disappeared as he cackled was the last thing heard, and even an echo. Soon the room disappeared altogether as the fight was one all that was left was darkness.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel could see darkness for what felt like forever, but his eyes snapped open and he could tell that he was back in his armor. He could feel the pain the mechanical limbs caused him, and he could see through the photoreceptors. He thought to himself. 'I am back. I finally beat Thaxsis.' Indeed he did beat both Thaxsis and faced his demons, but he could still feel Thaxsis inside him speaking to him. Thaxsis didn't take control, but he was trapped inside of his body where he would remain Kyrel's prisoner. He felt some of his muscles twitch as it was a sign that Thaxsis wasn't truly gone only trapped in a new prison. Kyrel looked around and walked around the tomb, the Tu'Kata didn't even bother attacking Kyrel they had even bowed to him as they saw Kyrel in a way as Thaxsis. Kyrel spoke back to the voice that talking to him. "Thaxsis I have beaten you now tell me where is that armor." Thaxsis laughed as he spoke to Kyrel from his prison which was Kyrel's mind. "Well it is down a passage way through a secret door way behind the throne, it connects to a series of tunnels which will lead you to what you seek. Good luck dark one you're going to need it." Kyrel scoffed "I do not need luck, all I need is the dark side."

He walked behind the throne to the walls he felt along them looking to activate the secret passage. 'Interesting' He thought to himself as he gained a feel for the stone obsidian until he pressed on a tile that caused it to sink in and the wall move in and slide to the left revealing a dark passageway. He went inside, and walked along the path it was dark, and so Kyrel activated his saber bringing a red fluorescent glow to brighten his surroundings. There were many passageways leading in all different directions, he felt that this tunnel system was apart of the catacombs, but was largely unexplored during the Battle or even before that maybe longer, but he couldn't say. He used the force to guide him and so walked forward ignoring all the other paths. He than managed to get out of the natural obsidian caves, and reach into a level of the castle he had never seen before.

He saw that it was a simple catwalk and underneath was the lava flows. He could feel the dark side have a heavy aura around this particular area, he was surprised that no one had even found it. It was also guided by two BX commando droids as if they're main mission was to guard the door with there lives, Kyrel walked in a purposeful stride along the catwalk. The droids saw him and said in they're metallic tone. "Intruder stop him." Kyrel deflected a couple of blasterbolts making quick work of the droids as he would make sure nothing would keep him from his prize. He than extended his hand out opening the durasteel doors with a Force Push. The door opened and he kept his advance going inside a large chamber filled with all sorts of items. It looked to be parts of some type that Kyrel didn't know what he kept walking deeper, his steps triggered lights to be activated centered upon a large rectangular looking case of some type. He thought to himself. 'This is it at last' Kyrel used his saber to cut open the case and used the force to push it out of the way.

What he found filled him with excitement, and filled his dreams at long last. The armor of Darth Vader was right before him, every detail there in all it's glory it remained, still had everything too it, and it was even still shiny in the light as well. Kyrel felt tremendous excitement sweep over him like a gust of wind, and felt as if he achieved what he had finally been dreaming in a long time. He reached over to touch the helmet, not being able to resist the intimidating sway it had over him. As soon as he touched it he felt as he was sucked into another world. He could hear breathing, and saw many different things and heard many different voices. He heard a metallic voice "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" He than heard a voice scream out in anger. "You were the chosen one!!!" He didn't know who the voices belonged too but it was as if he was in a different time, a different place. He even thought he saw Vader himself hurling someone down the abyss before even dying, and than it ended. What did he even see or hear, he could not say was it a warning a message perhaps from the armor, he couldn't say either, all he did know was that his goal ever since the Battle of Mustafar was at long last achieved.

 

[Kyrel Ren]

Kyrel felt as if his purpose was achieved he had finally found the armor that he had been looking for within the storage room was at last finished. He had gone through battles, Ancient Sith spirits, and tests and now his mission was finally complete at last. He walked out his saber clipped to his belt, and having the armor placed on a repulser lift. He now needed someone to preform the procedure of placing it on him, and modifying it that was all that needed to be done. For too long the galaxy has been left to chaos and disorder, Kyrel would see to that by instilling fear into his enemies or all those that dared defied the First Order. He walked back into the tunnels, and back towards the tomb, and in the meantime Thaxsis spoke to him curious. "Well dark one, did you find what you have been looking forward." Kyrel in a tolerable and somewhat pleasant mood replied to the spirit. "Yes I did at long last I have finally found it." Thaxsis laughed and replied "Excellent than."

Kyrel made it towards the upper levels of the castle. He was very pleased as not only did he find what he was looking for, he also became stronger for his experiences. These were his trials, and he had conquered everyone of them, the dark side the only strength he had proved at how superior it was. He would never forget what happened but he would keep most of it to himself, as what only mattered was the armor was now in his possession. Kyrel walked on board his shuttle setting course for Dosuun. The shuttle lifted off and zoomed past the clouds of ash and made it's way into orbit. As the ship jumped into hyperspace Kyrel was comforted by a simple thought. Soon the Galaxy would know fear again, they would learn to get know an old face that was long since dead, but they would learn to fear it through Kyrel as the might of the Supreme Leader was both dominant and everlasting. Soon the galaxy would learn that Vader lives.
