The group watched as the ex-Sith and old Jedi clash. It felt like forever than surprising the group of Rebels Maul's lightsaber was thrown at them, but Feral used his own force summoning the lost lightsaber to his hand.
"Come on Obi! You can do it!" Satine shouted "Don't let him near you!
"He's screwed." Feral said in a monotone voice.
"What happened?" Kanan asked
"Obi-wan just disarmed Maul." Feral answered the blind Jedi
"Isn't that good?" Kanan asked
"Not if you're fighting Maul." Feral replied as they watched Obi-wan fail at moving away from Maul in time and Maul had charged him. The Zabrak had done a roundhouse and his foot made connection with the side of Obi-wan's face sending the old Jedi flying down to the ground.
"Oh no! Obi!" Satine cried out about to run out to the field when Feral held her back.
"He's not moving, we need to go out there and help him!" Ezra panicked as him and Kanan were about to go out to go and help Obi-wan.
Maul had stalked over to the still Jedi and had sent his foot out to kick the body. His foot nearly made connection until the old Jedi's hands grabbed it and having assistant help from the Force, he flipped the Zabrak's body over his and onto the ground. Obi-wan quickly stood up and rubbed his jaw. Satine let out some ecstatic laughter as she watched Obi-wan flip Maul. Her laughter stopped when they watched Maul stand up with a green mist surrounding him.
"Let's see how Obi-wan will fight against something he's never seen before." Feral commented as Maul's eyes glowed green with rage and fury. Obi-wan stumbled around as green mist-like arrows shot out from around Maul.
Obi-wan used Force pushes to cause the arrows to dissipate into the air until he failed to destroy one and it had scratched Obi-wan's left arm. Obi-wan looked at his bleeding arm and held it. As the old Jedi looked back at Maul, a hand made of the mist had stretched out and grabbed Obi-wan by his throat. The hand just held Obi-wan in place with a bit of tightness. Maul had approached Obi-wan with a snarl.
Once the Zabrak was close to Obi-wan, Obi-wan could sense that Maul's barrier was down. Obi-wan sent out a powerful force push that sent Maul and the mist hand tumbling away from Obi-wan.
Obi-wan ignited his lightsaber again and watched as Maul stood back up. The green mist disappeared from Maul and the old Sith's pulled his lightsaber from Feral and ignited it.
The bystanding group watched as the fought again with their lightsabers, but they could tell it was coming to an end. Both opponents had looked exhausted.
Soon Obi-wan had knocked Maul down with the Force and pointed his lightsaber at Maul's throat.
"I win." Obi-wan panted and the group could feel the darkness in Maul be controlled and pulled back. Obi-wan deactivated his lightsaber and got off of Maul. Instead of standing up the old Jedi just sat down next to Maul.
"When did you learn Nightsister magiks?" Obi-wan laughed as the group quickly approached them.
"Mother taught me shortly after you died." Maul answered him
"Obi! Are you ok?!" Satine asked and Obi-wan looked at his arm.
"Yeah, it's barely bleeding." Obi-wan answered and Maul panicked when he saw Obi-wan's arm.
"Shit! Did I do that!?" Maul ripped a piece of his shirt off.
"Maul. You don't need to do that." Obi-wan said as Maul ignore him and wrapped the torn cloth around Obi-wan's arm.
Ezra and Sabine were surprised at Maul's sudden caring for Obi-wan after fighting him.
"Maul, if you do that every time I get hurt, you won't have any clothes left." Obi-wan signs at Maul with a smile.
"You missed me doing that. I know you did." Maul said standing up out of the stand and helped Obi-wan up.
"That was amazing to watch." Ezra commented
"If you were paying attention young one you would have noticed that you can only take a Sith on by surprise." Obi-wan replied to Ezra than looked at Maul. "Looks like our scores are now tied Maul."
"I still have won more fights against you." Maul as if it was a fact."
"I don't think that one were you and Savage kidnapped me counts. He helped you." Obi-wan crossed his arms
"He did not help, he assisted." Maul commented
"That's helping Maul." Obi-wan stated
"Whatever." Maul scoffed and also crossed his arms and brushed the sand off of his clothes.
"I'm sure Maul won't be much of a bother to you and your group for a while, Ezra." Obi-wan said with a smirk than looked at Maul. "Right Maul?"
"What ever you say Kenobi." Maul mumbled and Obi-wan looked back at the others.
"Come now, let's get inside and wait for your friends. The sand people will be put looking for the ones that started that fight. They can be quite territorial and if they saw the fight they won't be too happy." Obi-wan said and led the way. Kanan walked up to Obi-wan and walked next to him.
"How did you get Maul to listen to you? You think you can teach me that?" Kanan's last question was full of sarcasm and it had made Obi-wan laugh.
"It's simple really, but I'm the only one he'll ever listen to now. You see on Dathomir, Maul's home-planet, the females were dominant over the males. It's just Maul's instincts that he listens to me since I am his mate." Obi-wan explains
"So you're saying if you wanted him to serve you hand and foot he would do it?" Kanan asked trying to see how far it went.
"Well, Maul would try to refuse. You see even though it's Maul's instincts to obey me since we're mates. He was raised to be a Sith Lord and taught to ignore his feelings and instincts if it goes beyond the necessity of survival." Obi-wan explained to the younger Jedi.
"What about that fight? Why did you start it? Maul obviously didn't want to fight you." Kanan asked
"You can tell how he fights. That Mandalorian would have stood no chance. Maul actually wasn't trained to become a Sith Lord, but if you ask him he's a Sith Lord, he was trained to be an Sith assassin. He was born to fight and kill. The Mandalorian Code states if a fight is started over something that is precious to two people the only way to end it is with a death. When Maul stated that he earned that darksaber, he must have killed Vizsla for it. I had to focus Maul's want for a fight to me. Beside he'll be more calm and less on edge now that he's had a proper fight. With me as the winner it just ensured my dominance over him." Obi-wan said letting everyone inside.
"I never thought I would find the day were Maul would be this calm without planning something." Kanan commented watching Maul as the Zabrak sat on a bench.
"My brother is different when he thinks he lost everything in life." Feral says quietly not wanting to attract Maul's attention. "Obi-wan, there's something you should read." Feral commented and pulled out a data pad.
"What is this?" Obi-wan took the data pad and started to turn it on.
"I would recommend that you read it when your not around my brother." Feral covered the top of the data pad with his hand and quickly glanced at Maul before looking back at Obi-wan. "My brother recorded things on there after the massacre on Dathomir. Things that he did, that only the ones who saw what happened would believe. Things he would never tell you on his own." Feral said with sorrow in his voice.
"Alright, thank you Feral." Obi-wan turned off the data pad and set it aside on a small side table. When Feral walked away to sit down, Obi-wan noticed that Kanan too had sat down. Obi-wan looked at the data pad with curiosity about its contents. He shook his head if Feral warned him about reading it alone, Obi-wan knew it was a sensitive topic to Maul. Obi-wan would only ask Maul about it only when he understood everything that was logged into the data pad.
