Thread: [ the apprentice ] [ newblood x Niksis ]

The troop transport rocked heavily as it descended deeper into the underbelly of Coruscant, it's cargo a small squad of highly trained men and women wearing white composite armor and a man in a black robe and intimidating mask. Kylo Ren, a name that had become synonymous with Fear and Terror, was on his way to investigate a tremor he had felt a few times before. Still recovering, both physically and mentally, from his encounter with the wildcard that had been Rey, Kylo needed a leg up in the war to come and his gut told him whatever this disturbance was, could be just what he needed to tip the scales. As he walked through the doors, the room went quiet. A sense of dread followed in his footsteps as the black robed figure quickly neared the vessel of the tremor he sensed, a woman, a beautiful woman at that, not what he had expected at all. Had it not been for the intimidating black mask he wore, his surprise at what greeted him would have been visible for all to see, though as it were, his mask held a featureless expression, revealing nothing of what went on underneath. He held his silent gaze on the woman before him. His armored chest pressing lightly against hers while he stared deeply into the emerald green orbs of his target. The only sound escaping the robed figure was the sound of the built-in respirator of his mask, giving off a quiet artificial hiss with each breath. Slowly, a gloved hand rose to grip the woman's chin lightly as he continued to search for something deep within her eyes, her very soul. What he found, filled him with confidence. A glowing ember, ready to spark into a burning inferno if handled correctly. Potential unlike anything he had sensed before, untamed and untapped. For a moment he wondered if she knew herself, if she knew of the power that was resting inside of her, boiling beneath the surface, ready to spring to life. It was an ember he would nurture and feed, a wildfire of his making and under his control. At least, that was the plan, though Kylo Ren knew firsthand that plans often change and not always for the better. After a few long seconds, he turned his head to one of the troopers with an orange shoulder pad as he spoke Bring her to my ship, leave none alive. His voice was devoid of any emotion, hidden by the mask's vocabulator, which made him sound robotic. As quickly as he had arrived, Kylo disappeared again. His command as clear as rain. Swiftly and with no hint of remorse or hesitation, the Stormtroopers that had accompanied the man turned to the grim task of removing all witnesses. The trooper standing behind the woman brought his blaster high and smacked it into the back of her head before dragging the form, forcefully if necessary, from the scene and into the transport from which they came. Within a few minutes, the entire bar been transformed into a carnage. A scene of death and slaughter, all because of a single individual and the potential she carried with her. On the way back to his flagship, plans and schemes were forming and reforming in his head. An apprentice, it had not been something he had thought of before, technically, he himself was still an apprentice himself. Yet the potential that this woman promised was too great to be left alone. Then came the next step, Supreme Leader Snoke, his own Master. Would he tell him? Or hide his intention? On this he had not decided yet.
