thesallowbeldam asked: If you're still doing prompts? Cry-lo Ren travels to Korriban (for whatever reason) and takes shelter in a Sith tomb. The spirits of the dead take this fantastic opportunity to rip this pathetic immitator a new. I'm talking Com. Plete. Savage. Bollocking. (that means a lecture btw)
My buddy, my pal, it’s safe to assume that I’m ALWAYS taking
prompts. (I might get to the point where
I’m busy enough that it might take me a while to fill them, but I’m always
taking prompts.) Now, I’ll admit that I’m
not super well versed in Sith history, and the Sith Lord I’m most familiar with
is…well, Vader, who failed to die a Sith Lord and didn’t get entombed on
Korriban. I’ve always kind of liked the
mental image of Darth Sidious being disappointed in Kylo, though, so yeah. Also, I don’t know what happened to Palpatine’s
ghost and it appears that neither does anyone else, so we’re going to handwave
some stuff because Force.
Personal
shuttle crashes are, generally speaking, remarkably easy to survive. Battlestars or cruisers are bulky and built
to survive damage in the black, but a planet-side crash turns them into an
avalanche of wreckage. Fighters, small
and quick and light, shatter like glass more often than not, and even when they
don’t, their mostly-engine structure doesn’t play well with the heat of a
crash. A personal shuttle, though, is
small and sturdy and designed to survive an emergency landing, even if the
emergency in question is ‘falling out of the sky.’
“Engines
do not just kriffing fail,” Kylo Ren
hissed as he pulled himself out of his shuttle and trying to adjust to the
heavier gravity. He snarled a string of
curses in a handful of languages, giving a sharp kick to the hull and
repressing a grimace of pain. Snoke
would be furious if he missed his ordered arrival time, no matter how good his
explanation was, and Kylo felt a shudder down his spine. He refused to admit that it might be fear. “There isn’t even anything wrong with this piece of bantha shit,”
he shouted, thumping it with a fist. He
raked a gloved hand through his hair—the helmet was still inside the shuttle
somewhere—and stared around him at the valley he’d wrecked in.
