This is the first story I have written for so I really want to see some reviews on it (hopefully good ones). This is an alternate universe story about my favorite Sith that did not get as much time on the movies as he should have. So I really hope you like it.

Chapter 1: The Battle of Naboo
The Trade Federation, in league with the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, is attacking the peaceful planet of Naboo. There's fighting on multiple battle fronts. Above the planet in space, a fleet of highly trained pilots, and a little boy who was hiding in a Naboo Starfighter, are attacking the Federation's ships trying to destroy the droid command facility within. The Gungans, the native species of the planet, are holding off the advancing droid army. The Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala, and her team of royal guards are on a desperate mission to get to the throne room and stop the Federation leaders. Finally, just inside from a hangar in the Queen's Palace two Jedi, Qui-Gon Ginn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, are valiantly fighting a Sith named Darth Maul.
Obi-wan tries to attack Darth Maul with a powerful blow but it backfires and makes him fall to a lower bridge. He has to call upon the force to jump back up to the higher bridge which slows him down and he isn't quiet able to catch up with his master and the wretched Sith. Qui-Gon and Maul fight through out the entire area and eventually the Jedi backs Maul into a room blocked by energy beams in the front and had nothing in it but a pit that seems to go on forever. Qui-Gon is just one energy beam away from Maul, while Obi-Wan is behind the last. The beams flicker and open, Qui-Gon comes in right away and though his Padawan tries, he does not make it in the room and is stuck at the same spot the Sith previously was. From that point he has to watch as Darth Maul kills his master by sticking an end of his double-blade through Qui-Gon's stomach. The beams flicker and open again. Obi-Wan quickly comes through and begins to attack Maul for his devious actions. Though most of the attacks are unsuccessful, one attack manages to break Maul's double blade in half. Then Darth Maul knocks Obi-Wan down into the "bottomless" pit and grabs onto a small bulge sticking out of the side of the wall. He notices his fallen master's light saber and thinks he can get it by using a force pull maneuver as he jumps into the air, and slices Maul in half. He attempts to do this but Darth Maul expects it and it backfires. Obi-Wan is cut in half and falls down the pit.
At that moment on Coruscant, we see Jedi Masters Yoda and Windu meditating. Yoda suddenly says "A disturbance in the force there is. Something that should not have happened on Naboo has."
Mace Windu says, "I sense it to. I feel it will affect more than Naboo. I think it will affect the Jedi, the Sith, the Republic, and perhaps the entire galaxy."
Yoda replies "Hmm…correct you are. See we must how this unfolds. Go to Naboo and discover what happened we will."
Back on Naboo, the battle is over. Anakin Skywalker has just destroyed the droid command center, from the inside! That was a feat that not even the most skilled pilots, let alone a little boy, could pull of. After the destruction of the droid command center, and the automatic shut down of the battle droids, The Gungans, who were losing their battle, are now picking up droid parts for scrap metal. The queen and her team have also made it to the throne room were they are "discussing" a new treaty with the Trade Federation leaders. Realizing that the Federation has lost the battle, Darth Maul retreats to the swamp land of Naboo, where his ship, The Sith Infiltrator, is hiding. Once inside his ship, he await for orders from his master.
A few days later, a transport ship arrives from Coruscant. On board, along with others, were Jedi masters Yoda and Windu, who came to investigate what had happened with the Sith, and Chancellor Palpatine, former senator of Naboo, who has come home to celebrate the victory with his fellow people. When the Jedi went to go investigate what had happened in the hangar, Palpatine insisted to go with them. When they reached the room with the bottomless pit, Yoda said, "There the body of master Qui-Gon is. Killed by a lightsaber he was."
Then Palpatine said, "But the Padawan survived. Correct?"
"No," replied master Windu.
"What?" said the Chancellor in a deep, scratchy voice that surprised the Jedi.
After a small silence, Master Windu said "I watched the holorecording of what happened. Obi-Wan was killed and his body fell down this pit. The Sith must have ran off and went into exile whenever he found out the rest of the battle was lost. He is probably thousand of light-years away from here by now."
"I see. It is most distressing to have lost two fine Jedi such as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan."
"True that is. To commemorate there deaths, have we will a customary Jedi ceremony." Yoda commented.
Later at the ceremony, Master Windu quietly broke the moment of silence and said to Yoda, "The events that unfolded here leave us with three questions. Was the Sith the master or the apprentice, what are we to do with the boy from Tatooine, and what was the disturbance in the force we felt?"
"To your first question, know I do not is the only answer I can give. See we must how later events unfold. To the second, bring him home we can not. Leave him here we can not. Find him a new home we can not. Train him to be a Jedi, the only thing we can do that is. To the third, like the answer to the first, this answer is."
"I see. I think that since this boy is such a special case a member of the council should train him. I will graciously volunteer to do this task."
"Then Skywalker your Padawan is," commented Yoda as both of them turned to watch the burning body of the once great Jedi master, Qui-Gon Jinn.
Darth Maul's comlink beeped letting him know his master had finally contacted him. A spot blinked on his datapad showing him the rendezvous point where his master wanted to meet him and exactly when. When Maul arrived, His master, Darth Sidious said, "I did not foresee that you would survive your encounter with the Jedi. I believe that you were not meant to, but perhaps the Force thinks differently. You need to go to the planet known as Ilum for three reasons. One, two build yourself a new light saber, two, there are events that need to unfold that you can not be a part of, and three, to see the visions in the crystal cave. Perhaps the Force, through these visions, will tell you something that it has not told me about why you survived."
Though initially shocked at his master telling him he does not think he should be alive, he stood up and said "Yes, Master, I will return when all things you have said have been completed."
