Maul typed in the coordination and set the ship to auto-pilot. He needed to relax, adrenaline rushed through his body when something in his head screamed at him to help Obi-wan. He could still feel the bond between them so he took it as a good sign that no bad harm came to Obi-wan. He felt like he had cuffs on and growled at himself. Star-speed wouldn't be fast enough for him to get to Obi-wan.
"Maul? Are you alright?" Ahsoka asked walking onto the bridge. Maul sat up straighter as she came up next to him.
"You panicked back there, I never thought I'd see you like that." She stood next to his chair.
"I apologize for my episode. It's just, Kenobi is in trouble. I can sense it." He rubbed his wrists.
"Well, I trust you Maul." Ahsoka said and they heard the bridge door open.
"Anyone want to explain what in the world just happened?" Anakin walking over to them
"Kenobi is in trouble." Maul simply explain not looking at him.
"Master, you know Maul wouldn't act like this unless he knew something is wrong." Ahsoka defended Maul
"This could be a trap Ahsoka. Maul has turned to the dark side more than once and he is obviously out of his mind after freeing Dooku from his cell." Anakin ran on trying to get Ahsoka to come back to Dathomir.
"Master I trust Maul, he obviously is sorry for everything he did." Ahsoka fought back.
"Yeah and how can you prove that?" Anakin snapped.
"Patience padawan." Maul cut in feeling her need to defend him. "Words will not win him over. Perhaps my further actions will."
"Yeah? Well we'll see about that." Anakin looked passed Ahsoka and at Maul who remained seated looking out the front window.
Anakin walked out of the cockpit, he couldn't stand being in the same room as a Sith who caused his both his old masters pain. In Anakin's mind, there was nothing any Sith could do to right all the wrong they had done in their life. Anakin took out his holo-comm thinking about calling Padmé, but he didn't want to risk that Sith hearing them talk. He had to keep her safe from the Sith. As much as he allied himself with Maul to help others, like in their battle against Dooku and Ventress, Anakin reminds himself that Maul was a Sith and manipulation was one of their specialities.
Not only did he have to save Padmé, but he had to save Obi-wan and Ahsoka from the evil, hate-fueled Sith. Maul would have to be stopped one way or another, but for now he was the only one who knew either about or exactly where Obi-wan was. He would have to follow him for now.
"Master," Ahsoka walked into the room over to him.
"I know you don't like Maul, but you have to give him a chance. You may not see it, but he cares for Master Kenobi as well." She continued
"There is no way that monster cares for any living being other than himself." Anakin glared at his padawan.
"He's only trying to trick you Ahsoka! He is a Sith and we have can't trust him. Obi-wan is still weak and all Maul is trying to do is take advantage of him how do you not see that?" Anakin explained
"I don't see that because it's not true Master." Ahsoka simply said than walked into the cockpit.

The room was dark with only the soft blue glow of force sensitive cuffs. (The cuffs Hondo had on him, Dooku and Anakin) Obi-wan looked around and noticed that it was a small room, but he knew exactly were he was by the electric collar around him. He enslaved by the Zygerians. Again. Obi-wan took a deep breath in feeling almost fully connected with the force. He felt calm yet strangely worried and angry.
He sat down and started to meditate.
He realized that he was feeling what Maul felt. The further he meditated the calmer he felt all around him. As he meditated the door to his cell opened.
"Jedi Master Kenobi, what a surprise to see you in Zygerian chains once again and to see you brought in by bounty hunters." A Zygerian slave master laughed "And no one knows where you are."
"I see the Zygerians are no longer in alliance with Count Dooku. Since he isn't here." Obi-wan said with the knowledge that Dooku was with the Nightsisters.
"My apprentice may not be here Kenobi, but I am." A raspy old voice spoke behind the massive Zygerian. The figure appeared in a black cloak walking beside the slave master. "You my not realize who I am Jedi, you may call me Darth Sidious."
"Dooku failed at killing me so his master came to finish the job?" Obi-wan asked
"Not quite. I am to understand that my assassin has been hunting you down and has failed to do so which makes me question his abilities. He has killed in the past without mercy or compassion not letting one get away but now you seem to slip through his fingers." The old Sith Lord explained
"You can't keep a good Jedi down." Obi-wan smirked
"You are to stay here Jedi. If you are disobedient or try to run away, slaves will be killed." The Zygerian warned him.
Sidious looked at the Slave master and waved him off. "Leave us, I would like to talk to the Jedi alone."
The Zygerian walked out of the room and closed the door.
"You have caused quite the distraction for my assassin Master Jedi Kenobi. You have got him to hide from the dark side. But no one can hide from it. Once one becomes part of it there is no escaping. Now you will pay for what you have done." Sidious hissed and striked Obi-wan with Force Lighting.
He lowered his hand stoping it. "No one will come and save you. Your fear of the end has come." He raised his hand again returning to shocking the Jedi.
