Prologue:The Death of Obi-Wan

Obi-Wan clung onto the one thing that held him above death in the mining pit. Far from what he considered home in the Jedi temple, he was about to die. However, if it was his destiny to die on Naboo he would submit too it. Qui-Gon was severely wouned and Obi-Wan had almost no choices left. He knew he ahd to do something... but what?

He looked up and saw the horrible Sith leering down at him. The monster kicked Obi-Wan's lightsaber down the pit laughing at Obi-Wan so close to death. Obi-Wan could tell something about this man. He loved death and pain. Sith embraced the dark side but this man was not normal. He was a rare killer and as such should be removed from the galaxy. The stench of the dark side reached Obi-Wan. This beast could not live. It could not be allowed! As Obi-Wan contemplated his choices he remembered his dying master's lightsaber above him. He decided what to do. He called the lightsaber towards him with the force. He leapt out from the pit and snatched it out of the air. Flipping towards the beast who wounded his master, Obi-Wan ignited the blade. Obi-Wan struck a blow that should have killed this monster. Miraculously Darth Maul blocked the blow and flung the Jedi across the room. Qui-Gon's lightsaber fell from Obi-Wans hand and deactivated as he crashed into the wall.

Obi-Wan grabbed the lightsaber and swore. The emerald blade shone as he ignited the blade once again. The Sith flipped across the room laughing at this padawan who thought to destroy him. His double-bladed lightsaber easily deflected every blow Obi-Wan threw at him. He kicked Obi-Wan into the wall. Darth Maul's crimson weapon flashed towards the padawan. A hailstorm of crimson and emerald ended with Obi-Wan falling to the ground. He raised his lightsaber and leaped back up.

"I hate you!" he howled at Darth Maul feeling anger consume him. He beat the Sith towards the wall. Obi-Wan felt himself lifted off his feet and flung across the room. He flipped over Darth Maul and his blade hissed as he continued his vicous onslaught. Then the Sith did something unexpected. He parried Obi-Wan's blow but then deactivated his lightsaber. He took out a concealed vibrosword and swung it vicously at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan felt a horrible pain in his left arm and looked down. His arm was gone and blood was spilling onto the floor. He was flung across the room once again his wound pouring blood onto the floor and walls. he lay slumped against the wall accepting his death.

The Sith monster activated one side of his lightsaber and flung the blade into Obi-Wan's head. Obi-Wan's lifeless body lay covered in blood and burnt by lightsaber wounds for Qui-Gon to see if he was alive. The Zabrak retrieved his lightsaber and left the two Jedi behind to die on Naboo.

OOOOOOO

Qui-Gon awoke feeling a burning pain in his stomach. His body was racked with pain and he could tell he was on the brink of death. He tried to stand but his wound pained him too much and he lay back down. He used a medpac to heal himself enough to walk and stood up. He looked for his lightsaber but found it nowhere. He looked around the room and saw a bloody body by the opposite wall. He limped towards it and barely recognized his scarred padawan, dead in Theed Palace.

If not for him none of this would have happened. As Qui-Gon thought about what had happened he realized something. He had not chosen this mission. He had not even chosen the life he lived. Taken by the Jedi at birth he had never known a normal life. It was the Jedi Council's fault. Them and Chancellor Vallorum. They would pay. He would kill them. No matter what the council thought he would train the Chosen One as well. Anakin would help him destroy the Jedi and the Sith. He would bring balance to the force.

ooooooo

Master Yoda stared into Qui-Gon's eyes. Qui-Gon could see beads of perspiration forming on his face. He hoped Yoda could not sense the deception. He had to get away from this temple as soon as he can before someone noticed he was beginning to embrace the dark side. Yoda looked at Qui-Gon silently and said, "Find this Sith you must, Qui-Gon. Search for him, you will."

Qui-Gon spun around and left the Council behind him. He had built his new lightsaber. Until he revealed himself with his new chosen name of Malus noone would see the crimson blade that marked dark jedi. He went to the hangar where young Skywalker waited for him. He saw a Jedi Knight appraoching.

He pushed Anakin onto the ship given to him for his 'mission'. As he prepared to escape he was confronted by the Jedi Knight, Sakerra. "Qui-Gon, I sense the taint of the dark side on you. Turn back to the light my friend or I will have to stop you."

"Jedi are weak Sakerra," retorted Qui-Gon. He ignited his lightsaber. "And don't call me Qui-Gon. After you imbeciles caused the death of my padawan I want no remnant of the Jedi left in my life. Until I obliterate you all. From now on I will be known as Malus. I will become a master of the Dark side. Together me and my apprentice shall destroy the Jedi and the Sith. You obviously will not let me leave or join me. You cling to your foolish ideas. Now I will kill you!"

He flipped over her swinging his lightsaber down towards her head. She deflected the blow and spun around to face him. She slashed towards his side and he parried the blow. He launched into a flurry of slashes and lunges spinning wildly knocking Sakerra to the ground. Sakerra kicked his legs out from under him. He lifted her with the force and threw her into the side of the shuttle. She collapsed to the ground and slowly stood up again. She jumped towards him and swung her lightsaber in a downward arc. He parried the blow in the air and cut off her weapon arm. Her arm lay smoking on the ground and she writhed in agony.

"Spare me Malus," she pleaded her face filed with pain. He lifted his blade and swung it into her. He left her in a pool of blood the last of her life slowly draining away. Malus walked onto the ship leaving Sakerra's bloody body in the Jedi temple. When the Jedi found her they would know what had happened. But Malus didn't care. She deserved her death.
