Summary: this is a what if scenario I've had in my mind for a while. I figured since I was dealing with writers block on Sanitytale, I'd go ahead and write this down before I forgot it. Be warned this is one of my darker stories hopefully not too disdainful or lurid, but definitely dark. You are still free to criticize, but Consider this your warning

Disclaimer: Me no own Star Wars

At the beginning everything had gone according to plan. Leia had managed to infiltrate the palace she had even managed to break Han free from his carbonite prison, but then something went wrong. She realized then the truth. This had been a trap. This whole time Jabba had been waiting for them, in an effort to trap the sluggish crime lord, they had managed to fall into a trap of his. Now hear Leia was captured and put into a slave outfit. What was Jabba trying to achieve exactly? Leia thought hard to come up with some sort of sophisticated reason, but the truth was obvious. The slug wanted to show his dominance and show off how he now had a former princess as a prize.

But hey luke was here if anyone could get them out of this situation it was him right?

"You will bring captain solo and the Wookie to me." Luke said as he removed his hood. Leia had honestly hoped that Jabba would do the smart thing and surrender, but instead he just he erupted with bellowing laughter.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ha ha ha ha ha. You fool did you really think I'm such a fool?"

Jabba's posture changed a bit though considering how Hutts were all backside, it was hard to tell. that was until his stubby arm starting reaching for a button on his throne.

"Master Luke," C3PO shouted frantically. "You're standing on a…" in Luke managed to grab a blaster and fired it as Jabba hit the button. The young Jedi tumbled into the pit below as a Gamorrean guard lost his balance and tumbled after him.

Luke it the ground with a loud thud grabbing his head and letting out a grown as he got up. The doors started to open and Luke had expected the rancor to come out, but instead of a rancor, a dark cloaked figure stood in the doorway. Luke looked up to Jabba with a look of confusion. Jabba however just let out another laugh.

"Hohohohoho. Did you think I would be foolish enough to send a mere beast after you? I've dealt with your kind before."

"Jabba," Luke shouted with a snarl. "This is your last chance. Free us or Die, your mercenaries do not frighten me. "

This time it was the figures turn to laugh.

"Oh, but I'm no ordinary mercenary…Jedi." The figure removed his hood. He was a Zabrak with Red skin and black tattoos. His eyes glowed a fiery orange and his horns curved like a thorny crown. The Gamorrean that had fallen into the pit with luke got up and charged at the mercenary but the zabrak raised his hand causing the pig guard to levitate into the air. The guard attempted to squeal for help, but his neck was snapped causing the cry to be cut to yelp. It became clear to Luke that this being was a force user. A cold chill fell across the pit and Luke's breathing became soft and shallow. There was something inside him that told him he needed to get out now.

"Run Luke run!" Luke darted toward the east gate, but the mercenary forced it closed. Luke ran to the west gate, but that gate too was forced shut. Luke was trapped. The Zabrak let out a chuckle.

"Did you really think I was going to let it be that easy? I've tracked you for far too long for that to happen."

"Who are you?" Luke asked

The figure drew a S shaped hilt from his belt.

"Formally Darth, now just Maul.

The blade activated with a loud his as two crimson blades shot out form the opposing sides. Luke drew his own saber and activated it. The green blade let out an illuminating glow. Maul laughed. "I sense the force is with you Skywallker, but you're not a true Jedi"

"You're wrong. I am a Jedi like my father before me."

"We will see."

Leia's breathing shallowed has she felt a chill come over how. She had never seen anyone like this maul before but the feeling she got being in the same vicinity as him was the same feeling she got when she was around Vader. Luke was clever and he was resilient, but something told her that now it felt like Luke was in over his head.

"Come on Luke run. It's not worth it."

"I can't see." Han said. "What's happening?"

"You don't want to know." Leia said softly.

"We are about to die salute you." Jabba bellowed

"The mighty Jabba hopes you die honorably."

Leia snarled in disgust. What could possibly be honorable about this?

Maul charged leading the offensive automatically catching Luke off guard. The young Jedi managed to block the Zabrak but just barely. Maul just laughed.

"Your Father stole everything from me. My place, my birthright and my revenge. But by killing you, I'll be able to kill two birds with one stone. I will destroy that which he values most, and Kenobi's legacy will go down in flames with your death ."

Luke grunted as the hot plasma sparks flew across his face. "If you think I'm going to go down without a fight, you'll be sorely disappointed."

"Disapointed? Hahaha a fight is exacly what I want."

The two warriors danced across the room as the arena illuminated in a spectacle of green and red. Leia had a bead of hope that maybe Luke could come out on top, but as the fight dragged on, the physical toll it was putting on Luke became more obvious. Maul was like a skilled acrobat every strike he delivered was stronger than the last. It seemed like the longer the fight went on, Maul's power and ferocity just seemed to amplify.

Maul was unlike anything Luke had ever faced before. The young Jedi had mangled to take on several bounty hunters and even couple of Shadow guards, but the power coming from darth maul was something beyond that of a mere dark jedi. This was the power of a Sith Lord.

Maul grabbed luke with the force and slammed him against the wall knocking the wind of the young jedi and causing him to drop his lightsaber. Luke reached out his hand and called for it, but Maul head butted him causing him to stagger backwards and lose focus. Luke tried a second time. The Saber levitated upwards and flew towards luke on command but then with a loud his, his breath left him. Gasping for air, Luke looked down to see his lightsaber hilt protruding from his chest. Mauls hand was firmly grasped on it. Luke Fell to his keens his hands shaking, Everyone in the room gasped even.

Leia gasped as tears started to flow from her face. "No," Even Jabba found himself unable to speak.

Luke looked up at maul. His mouth twitched as if he was trying to form words, but no voice could come out. Maul Smirked before leaning towards luke's ear.

"And so ends the last Jedi." He whispered.

Luke Closed his eyes and silently wept. "I'm sorry Ben." He thought to himself. Darkness took him as his body fell backwards. Maul looked up and let out a roar of victory raising his Saber. The Crowd Cheered in response. Leia's own cries seemed to be muffled.

"No, no Luke!"

"Jabba!" Someone shouted.

Everyone turned around to see A tall thin humanoid firmly grasping Lando.

"I hate to cut your celebration shprt, but you got a little Womp Rat Problem. She puched Lando across the face. He spit out some blood before giving a grin.

"I guess our luck has run out."

Jabba laughed. "Well well well if it isn't Lando Calrissian." He then directed his gaze towards some guards "Bring the Wookie to the throne room, and Bring Solo and Calrissian to the front."

The guards did so. Chewbacca was brought out to the front held back by restraints and a shock collar.

"The mighty Jabba says you are to be put to death for your crimes against his glorious empire. The punishment shall be delivered immediately. I'm…I'm sorry captain Solo there is nothing I can do."

Chewbacca let out a howl in rage but he fell to his knees as the elctrcity from the shock colar constricted his musles

"Boba," Jabba boomed "would you like this honor? It's only fair considering you caught Solo.

The whole room turned to face boba who was in the back and had not said anything up to this point. He let out a grunt before speaking.

"With all due respect Jabba. I think I'll pass."

"Very well, Aurra Sing?"

"With pleasure."

The huntress slowly walked to the front and put her blasters against the two mens heads. A malicious grin escaped her face. "I'm going to enjoy this."

Han smirked. "Well buddy did you espect it'd end like this?"

"Well honestly I expected to die getting torn limb from limb so I guess this isin't bad."

"Same here. But I was kind of hoping to go out with a bang."

"Oh you will. That bang will just be entering the back of your head."

The two chuckled. "Hey Lando, save me a spot will ya?"

"Sure thing pal."

"Han!" Leia shouted tears streaming from her face. "I love you!"

Han smiled "Honey, move on. "

Jabba laughed .

"Do you have any Last words?" C-3PO asked

"Nope," Lando said "I'm good."

"Han Solo?"

"Jabba, I'll see you in Hell."

Jabba once again bellowed in laughter.

"The Mighty Jabba asked him that you save him a spot."

For several moments, there was nothing but silence and anticipation. With a sudden sound of thunder, Han and Lando's bodies fell with a soft thud. Jabba let out a laugh in triumph. Leia collapsed to her knees weeping silently as the weight of the situation caught up with her. Not only was her friends dead, but she realized that she, Chewie and the droids were now stuck as slaves. Jabba had won. Leia lifted her eyes and found herself staring at the cold eyes of Maul. She gritted her teeth as she found herself filled with a fit of rage. She charged towards him, but was forced backwards due to her chains.

"You Monster, you killed him, you killed him you coward!"

Maul couldn't help but chuckle.

"You may want to take extra care in taming your new pet Jabba. She looks feisty."

Jabba laughed "I admire your style sith scum. I can make a man of your talents very wealthy."

Maul smirked. "Perhaps I'll take you up on your offer someday, but for now I think I will collect my fee and take my leave.

Jabba nodded and directed his second in command to give the money. The Former sith walked into the light disappearing from Leia's sight. She then looked over at Crumb who was tugging at her chain while bellowing his demon like cackle. She snarled and pulled at her chain, but she found Jabba pulling her towards him.

Jabba chuckled and smirked . "You will soon learn to appreciate me."
