Chapter 5: Imbalance
As she pulled back from her friends, Allucina felt a tickle of a familiar essence nearby. Two of them, to be exact. The first was a powerful presence in the force, which could only be a Skywalker. The other was more imbalanced with the force flowing uncontrolled. The aura was familiar to her, but she could not place it. She became less mindful as her thoughts raced, falling over Kylo Ren before returning to herself. She silently cursed herself for the mistake. She could no longer just rest there. He now knows she is gaining her power back. If she remains, he will get suspicious.
With a deep breath, Allucina sent out a force wave that exploded the electronics. She tried to step out of the device she had been in for so long, but fell on her face instead. She groaned just as her body ached. She mustered some more force and set it to work holding her up. She began to easily restore her abilities as she mediated and floated away from the sucking device. She could sense guards were coming down the hall. She had enough power to phase through the ceiling and into the vent above. Once there, she dropped herself gently and began to breath hard. Her physical body was taking a heavy toll. Her mind was still trained with the force, but her entire essence has not felt it for so long, it was nearly as numb to it as motor function. Her body began to shake and spasm as her face grew hot from tears. Her power was returning to a body that was rejecting it. Allucina knew exactly what would happen next. If her body could no longer hold her large quantity of power, she would explode. Just like her sister. Just like her daughter.
A lightsaber slashed at the duct and she fell with the metal onto the floor. Kylo growled, "You think you can escape?" He raised her hand to force choke her, but stopped immediately seeing the state she was in that he did not cause.
Tears continued as she labored for each word, "Please, help me." Her body became more violent with spasm. He moved closer and leaned down as he dropped his lightsaber. She tried to send some of her force essence to him, but he was too weak to be able to absorb it in this manner. She tried to send it out to anyone else, aiming for the two force users nearby. It would take a moment to see if she succeeded, which was enough time to speak more before her energy grew, "Kiss me." Kylo Ren continued to stare at her and she moved her hand towards him. His helmet went flying and he felt pressure on his neck. She tried to pull him close, but then he began to defend himself, choking her back. She gave up and saw her fingers began to glow.
She closed her eyes and tried to curl into a ball, but her body would not allow it. He leaned in close and pressed his lips to her lips. She opened her eyes wide in shock, but he continued to kiss her. He might not understand why she asked it, but she instantly took the opportunity to breathe life into him. The force flowed out of her and into the wielder who has not met his potential. She filled him and gave him enough for the spasms to stop temporarily. Her body grew still and so did her mind as darkness engulfed her vision before she fainted from the episode.
