Obsession

Rematch

Obi-wan stood there with everyone looking at him. He got nervous. A single word said wrong and Maul would be after the boy to kill him. His silence dug him a hole and he knew it. He had to think quickly.
"I only recently met about the boy in person, Maul." Obi-wan quickly said after his silence. Lies, Obi-wan thought.
"Sometime after waking up here and moving into my hut, the boy's guardians warned me that if anything happened to the boy, they weren't afraid to settle things their way. That was the first I ever heard about the boy." Obi-wan's voice was calm and smooth. He knows I'm lying to him, Obi-wan thought in his head as Maul glared at him.
"I only found out what his name was when I met the boy. It was very disconcerting that I would wake up on the same planet as his son." Obi-wan calmly met Maul's glare. He can tell I'm lying! He knows I didn't wake up here! He knows I'm here to protect the boy, Obi-wan's hands started to become sweaty as he kept his heartbeat as steady as possible. As soon as Maul looked away Obi-wan couldn't help but let out a mental sigh of relief. For now I am out of the woods, at least, Obi-wan thought to himself

Obi-wan and Satine stood between Maul and the Ghost crew like judges trying to help out whatever way they could with the problems the group had with Maul and settling out ways to deal with them. Until one thing was brought up.
"Now that all of that is settled, why don't we all plan out how we are going to take down the Empire." Satine suggested
"Just one more thing Duchess before we move onto that." Maul cut in before anyone could take a step or add a word.
"Hand over my darksaber Mandalorian." Maul demanded starred at Sabine holding his hand out.
"No. You may apologize all you like, but you still left us behind! You are no true leader of Mandalore. Only a Mandalorian should be in control of this saber and I've worked too hard to just hand it over to you." Sabine snapped at him. "If you want it, you'll have to fight me for it."
"There will be no fighting!" Obi-wan interjected "Satine, tell her to hand it over, we can not have them fighting over a saber." Obi-wan looked at Maul.
"You do not need that saber, Maul, you still have yours." Obi-wan stated to his mate.
"I earned that saber Kenobi. I will not just give it up to some Mandalorian youngling!" Maul snapped at Obi-wan.
"You mean like how you gave up being a Sith?" Obi-wan smartly commented and Maul scoffed and he turned from the young Mandalorian to the Jedi. Everyone knew with that one comment a fight was going to happen.
"Are you demand a rematch Kenobi?" Maul growled yet purred at Obi-wan.
"Are you wanting a fight? Because I never thought a Sith would stoop so low to fighting a youngling. My how the Sith have fallen." Obi-wan smirked at Maul.
"I may not be a Sith anymore, but I will show everyone here why they need me to defeat Vader and Sidious." Maul growled at Obi-wan taking out his lightsaber.
"Oh? And here I thought you were losing your touch. Are you sure you'll be able to take on Vader and Sidious and win?" Obi-wan taunted Maul taking some steps back and drawing out his lightsaber.
"You could barely keep up with me when I first arrived here Kenobi, what makes you think you'll last any longer?" Maul taunted back and they started their fight.
"I was sick than." Obi-wan laughed "Did you expect me to fight against my mate? For no reason but that you were angry?" As the clashed their lightsabers a few times Obi-wan could tell that his age was starting to take a hold of him. He was knew that this fight against Maul would help him shape back up. But there was one thing Obi-wan noticed.
"You expected me to just welcome you back with open arms?" Maul snarled
"Well you did in the hut." Obi-wan smirked as their blades clashed.
Satine had long since walked over to the younger Jedi and their friends.
"This isn't very good." Satine commented to the Jedi.
"What do you mean?" Ezra asked
"Obi-wan is goading Maul. He can tell Maul's holding back." Satine slightly explained
"And?" Ezra pushed further
"Obi-wan is trying to get Maul angry." Satine answers him
"We've seen Maul angry, it's not that bad." Ezra crossed his arm
"No. You've never seen him angry. Upset and cornered is what you probably saw. Move back. You want to be a good distance from Maul when he's angry." Satine pushed the group back a bit. They all had taken a few steps back. They didn't exactly understanding her warning. The group listened to how Obi-wan there taunts and memories at Maul.
"He isn't going to last much longer. I hope Obi-wan knows what he's doing." Feral commented
"Only Obi-wan knows how to rile and calm Maul." Satine told Feral
"That's true. I don't think Maul would ever be the same without this fight." Feral shrugged
"I just hope brother can control himself or we might have to intervene." Feral added
"Wait, who intervene?" Kanan cut into their conversation.
"You, Ezra and I. Obi-wan is forcing my brother to emurse himself into the dark side to get him to not hold anything back. We don't want a rerun of my brother meeting Obi-wan." Feral explained
"Any but that." Satine commented remembering how Obi-wan was
"Wait, what happened?" Ezra asked
"My brother nearly broke Obi-wan and it tools Obi-wan a long time to get past it." Feral vaguely explained
"What do you mean by 'broke him?'" Kanan asked in a serious tone and than suddenly they sensed something in the Force around them snap.
Lighting had filled the air and they watched as Obi-wan's lighting caught the bolts of lighting. The group watched in awe as the fight got faster. A clash of their blades, force pushes that barely got past each other's barriers. Ezra watched awe at the footwork that placed during the fight and how Obi-wan was able to block all of Maul's lighting. A scoff pulled Ezra from his awe and terror. Soon he could barely keep up with the fight, the clashing of blue and red along with the flashes of bright blue was starting to give him a headache.
"He may have snapped Ezra, but my brother is not yet using all of his powers." Feral commented watching the battle with ease.
"What do you mean not using all of his power?" Kanan asked feeling the dark side overflowing from Maul and fill the desert planet. If the Empire didn't know that they were on Tattooine, Kanan wouldn't be surprised if they did sense it.
"He's only tapped into the dark side, just a bit longer and Obi-wan will force Maul to use the magiks that he learned from our Mother." Feral explained than judged the distance between them and the fight.
"Do you know magiks?" Ezra could help but ask.
"Yes, but it's all self taught none of it as honed and perfected like my brother's. Usually us being Nightbrothers we're forbidden from using magiks, being the sons of Mother Talzin gave us some leverage because Mother wanted to make sure we could defend ourselves since Nightbrothers had a hard life on Dathomir, being considered as servants to the Nightsisters." Feral rolled his eyes as he calmly explained things. As quickly as things picked up both Obi-wan and Maul slowed down panting as they stare at each other.
"Looks like it's a stalemate." Ezra commented expecting the Dark Side in Maul to fade away, but it stayed.
"The battle's not done yet. They're trying to predict their next set of moves while blocking the other from seeing their moves mentally." Kanan explained to his apprentice.
"Master Kenobi doesn't look like he'll last much longer." Ezra added worried about the old Jedi.
"He doesn't have a choice to escape. He has to win the fight for it to end. If my brother wins it'll just prove a point he was taught long ago." Feral scoffed watching the two as they still stood there as if they were in a stalemate and trying to decide who would announce it first.
"And what's that?" Kanan asked curiously
"All Jedi are weak and should deserve to die for being so weak. Being ensnared in the Dark Side like this there's two things that could happen if my brother wins: 1. He could try to kill Obi-wan which won't happen because we're here or 2. We may have to stop him before he hurts Obi-wan in a way either of them won't forgive." Feral said and watched as the two charged at each other clashing their blades together only able to hit each other's blades and not their bodies. "I just hope it's the first one."
"You hope Maul would try to kill Master Kenobi?" Ezra's jaw dropped shocked at the yellow Zabrak's words.
"Both Satine and I would rather want that than the second and we know Maul and Obi-wan would want that too. No one needs to see what happened that day happen again."
"What happened?" Ezra asked once again wanting to know exactly why everyone feared it happening
"It's long history now Young Ezra, just leave it at that and hope that Obi will win this battle." Satine placed her hand on Ezra's shoulder momentarily taking her eyes off the battle to look at him than she looked back at the battle.
