Jacen knew it probably wasn't healthy, telling Danny to give in to the anger and the need for vengence. He knew who he sounded like, and it was Mara Jade's voice in his head telling him so You're as vile as he was. He was fairly sure those words would never leave him, and why would they? Oh he'd fought against it, and usually he was even pretty good at pushing down that side of himself. The one that said that this was the way to solve things. And he wasn't here to kill Danny, no no, he was far from that. He'd promised the man that he'd help him, and help him he would. But Danny needed a sharp shock. He needed to be helped. And Jacen knew how to go about it. He'd left without telling Tenel Ka, knowing that she'd just attempt to talk him out of it, and he understood why. He really did. But he knew what he was doing, he thought, looking around at the isolated area he'd decided to lead Danny to. He didn't even have to do anything if Danny wasn't bragging about being able to follow sin. Because Jacen Solo had that in spades. He was dressed in black, which wasn't unusual for him but he'd pulled out the armour he rarely wore anymore. He figured the extra would come in useful. But he couldn't let Tenel Ka see him like that? He knew how it would look, and that on top of how it would feel. He always had to be this person. The one that did what few others would. The one that could give in to his darkness for the good of others. He dropped any mental shields he had up, and called a power to himself that he rarely let in anymore. His eyes tinged quickly with a yellow/red hue and Jacen knew that Danny would find him. It was hard when he let it in. Hard not to just become Caedus again. He had to fight so hard and it was his wife and his daughter that he fought for. But they'd be feeling it now, or Tenel Ka would, and the rest of his family with the exception of his father. And Allana since what had happened?
But he couldn't think of that now. Any of it. He had to focus on this fight. On how to take down this Spirit of Vengeance. He knew he had power but he couldn't deny that stare worried him. To see all his past sins, if nothing else it would take a while. It wasn't anything he wanted to have to deal with. Far from it in fact. But maybe it wouldn't come to that. Jacen had been watching Danny of late, he knew he'd alienated Felicia, antagonized Tony Stark, and who knew how many others. He was trying to push everyone away and whatever he'd said to those two had worked. It wasn't that easy with Jacen, simply because there was so little he wouldn't have heard before. What could Danny say that his family hadn't, or Jag, or Wedge or Zekk or whoever else one might name. It was not that easy.
When Danny did arrive though Jacen had to admit to some surprise, fighting a flaming skeleton was unusual even for him. There went a few of the tactics he was used to employing, he didn't think a lightsaber would do much. Force Lightning, well they'd see. And then if he could get close to him he could remove the toxins from his blood, sober him up. But how did one sober up a skeleton? No he'd have to take him down first. Somehow. "Easy to find then? I did tell you." said the Sith Lord, his voice cold but taunting. It was so easy to slip back into it all, into the mannerisms, into the simple ease of being what he'd been taught to be. "And I see you've come with a plan. It's changed the game, I'll admit that."
