MANY YEARS LATER

Obi-wan walked highly through the Jedi temple he couldn't help but wonder why Master Yoda had summoned him. He had been summoned before, but never before had he been call to speak with Master Yoda that gave him a slight pain in his chest. The last time he felt something like this was a shift in the force when his old master Qui-Gon had passed away of old age. He had been knighted  before Qui-Gon's passing into the Force and had taken Anakin up as his own padawan wanting to finish his training for his master. It was the least he could do to repay his master. Now with Anakin as a Jedi Knight himself he even got his own padawan.

"Master Yoda, you called for me?" Obi-wan entered the room seeing Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu.
"Master Kenobi, show you something we must." Yoda said approaching Obi-wan with Master Windu.
"We had recovered surveillance footage of the massacre on Devaron." Windu placed a holocom on a stand and it showed a Zabrak male killing clones.
"Darth Maul alive?" Obi-wan heart sunk in terror while fluttering with joy, Maul was alive. "It can't be. Qui-Gon killed him all those years ago he bled to death."
"Correct you are, Obi-wan." Master Yoda replied and confused Obi-wan "A creature of the same species he is, from Dathomir."
Obi-wan heart sunk further so Maul was still dead. "Dathomir? The planet of the Witches?" Obi-wan was further confused. "I was under the impression that Darth Maul's home world was Iridonia."
"Dathomir is the planet where Maul was raised." Master Windu started, Obi-wan felt somewhat embarrassed he knew less about Maul than the older Masters and he spent the most time near the Sith. "Iridonia is where the rest of the males of the species dwell."
"Travel to Dathomir you must. Find the source of this threat you will." Master Yoda said than dismissed Obi-wan.
Obi-wan quietly left the room.
"Do you think it is a wise choice to send Obi-wan to deal with this creature Master Yoda?" Master Windu asked still looking that the Zabrak in the holocom.
"Face his past Master Kenobi must. Studied Zabraks the most he did when he was younger." Master Yoda reminded Master Windu.

Obi-wan rubbed the scar on his neck that was hidden by his clothes. His chest grew heavier with the feeling and tight pain of loneliness. He felt like he could hardly breath he turned on his comms.
"Anakin come in."
"Yes Master Obi-wan?" Anakin replied back
"Meet me at the ship, we have a mission to do. I'll explain on the way."

Once they were on the red and black planet Obi-wan couldn't help but be reminded of Maul's red skin and black tattoos.
"There's the village." Anakin said as Obi-wan landed the ship outside of the village. They calmly walked and Anakin looked around.
"Be on guard. These men are ferocious warriors, and they will show no mercy." Obi-wan warned his apprentice
"Don't worry. I won't start anything." Anakin said as they walked further into the village
"Let me handle the negotiations." Obi-wan said and hardly a second later they were surrounded by Zabrak warriors. They drew their lightsabers and kicked their attackers away "Don't hurt them!" Obi-wan was quickly taken back to his first fight with Maul where the Sith kept kicking him and Qui-Gon trying to separate them. Soon he found Anakin at the top of a cliff with his lightsaber near, what we assumed to be the leaders, throat.
"Back off." Anakin demanded and the full attention of the fight was shifted to him. "We are not here to fight you. We're here for information."
Obi-wan saw the opportunity to speak and quickly took it. "A man from your village murdered two Jedi. We need to know where he is."
"What makes you think he is one of ours?" The Zabrak leader said with a hiss
"The Jedi Council knows he's from this village. We have seen him." Obi-wan said calmly
"Mother Talzin should know of his whereabouts. One of her women took him as a mate." The leader informed them
"I apologize for the intrusion, then." Obi-wan said to the leader than looked at Anakin. "Anakin, kindly release him, please." Anakin turned off his lightsaber and jumped down joining Obi-wan and they peacefully left the village.
As they landed in the Nightsister's territory, Obi-wan rubbed his neck again.
"I don't know much of Mother Talzin, but I don't expect to be welcome here" Obi-wan leaving the ship.
"You never know. I tend to be popular with the ladies." Anakin said following close behind
"Too popular." Obi-wan teased him and they started walking to the village not too long after Obi-wan could sense that they were being surrounded. They surrendered letting one of the witches take their lightsabers as they we lead into the village.
They sat down at a table with Mother Talzin.
"Master Kenobi." She greeted him
"Mother Talzin, thank you for you hospitality." Obi-wan  said and she stood up
"I believe you have a question for me." She said
"Yes, you're right. We've had reports of a Dathomiri male on the loose. He's already killed two Jedi. Perhaps you know who he is?" Obi-wan informed her not wanting to waste time and they soon got their information after a few innocent words from Mother Talzin.
Obi-wan stood up looking at Mother Talzin as her yellow eyes avoided him. "This thing-- this animal is extremely dangerous. If you have any information about his whereabouts, you must tell us!" Obi-wan hated being forceful but he knew it was the only way to get information from her.
She informed them that the Zabrak's name was Savage Opress and that he was on Toydaria. Obi-wan thanked her and quickly left with Anakin after taking their lightsabers back.

They quickly drove to Toydaria after Savage.  When they encountered Savage, he already had the King. Obi-wan couldn't help but notice how much bigger and more muscular Savage was compared to how Maul looked. Every look about Savage seemed bigger than Maul. Of course probably just used for intimidation. Obi-wan was quite surprised when he saw the dual-bladed red lightsaber. Savage was another Sith possibly an assassin like Maul too. The fight ended when Savage pinned them under a levanting elevator and left with the King dead after pushing the Jedi ship off of a cliff.
They took a Toydarian ship and quickly went after Savage. They found themselves landing on Count Dooku's ship. They soon found Savage in a room with his lightsaber drawn looking like he was about to cut a hole in the floor to escape.
"We'll take him together." Obi-wan said to attacked and Savage used the force to push them away. They fought their way back to the loading dock of the the ship. Once they were there, droids started shooting at them and Savage.
"They're not after us." Anakin had said noticing the droids aim of fire. "They're attacking that monster."
Savage used a force push to knock his enemies down and retreated into his ship and left. Obi-wan and Anakin did the same before the droids started attacking them.
"Well that was a close one." Anakin said resting in the passenger seat
"Yes too close for my comfort I must say." Obi-wan said flying back to the temple for further orders
"Hey, at least it was Darth Maul himself that we had to fight." Anakin joked
"Anakin!" Obi-wan looked at his padawan with shock and the tightness in his chest growing more. "You know not to joke about that. You know that my history with him is,"
"Bumpy and unwanted. I know master I'm sorry." Anakin filled in
Obi-wan signed pushing the feeling out of his mind. "That's one way to put it and it's okay Anakin. You were young when it happened and joking around is your specialty just please be more mindful of what you say in the future."
"Yes Master."
