The talking was doing something. On some level he knew it was working. It was getting to Danny, wherever Danny was in there. Oh he was still in there, just lost to himself. Of course he'd need to fight. That serpent's tongue comment wasn't entirely wrong and nothing he hadn't heard before. Jacen knew how to talk people around to his way of thinking, and then there was the Force on top of that. People had wanted to kill him for his words for a long time. He'd brought down the Yuuzhun Vong Capital with words alone. Turned the world brain to him and little by little he'd changed its views, shaped it as they had shaped so many. "So many have tried." he taunted, "Countless beings that thought I shouldn't be allowed talk because when I do, people listen"
Jacen watched the hellflame coming toward him. Dangerous yes. But then so was he. The volley of Force Lightning he sent out to meet it crackled and spat as it met the flame. Burning against it, dark power on dark power. He focused on forming a shield on himself, the simple act of a Jedi Warrior taking more effort for Jacen than the lightning which came to his hand at a thought.
"You don't have to be this person. I know its easy. Believe me when I tell you that I know. The power, its right there, and its got to be like a drug. But back home that cost me the love my my life, my child, my twin sister, my family. I gave it all up because I knew what was right, because only I could fix things. If not for this place I'd be a shadow, a shade and a memory. Danny you don't have to do this. If I can come back, if I can control the power within me, why can't you. You've done things? So have I, you know don't you? You can tell, you can feel the things that I've done."
He could feel sin after all. There had to be so much.
"Tell me your past Danny, show it to me. I can walk us back along your timeline. We can see how you got here and maybe it would even help. Worth a try isn't it? Don't fight me, that lightning is as easy to me as breathing now and I can keep going. I can keep this up until I take you down, please don't make me."
