Star Wars: The Rise of Darth Maul
A/N: If you enjoy this story please review
Chapter 1
Darth Maul looked at the hut he had built using his dark force powers on the 'outer rim' planet Madalore. He looked at it for nothing more than function and to make sure it would shelter him throughout his time on the retched planet he now inhabited. His Master Darth Sidious had sent him with orders to build a shelter and wait for further instructions. Darth Maul entered his hut and inspected it, inside was a flat pile of straw covered in a sheet, a single candle but he mainly focused on the most advanced piece of technology a giant holoprojector able to project a life-size image of a person. The Sith Lord turned to face the door and closed his eyes, his impatient mind never leaving the thought of his desire to unleash his lethal doublesaber on some Jedi scum to avenge his sith forefathers who were betrayed at the Battle of Ruusan.
A beeping noise suddenly came from the holoprojector behind him; Darth Maul opened his eyes, turned around, walked towards the projector and knelt in front of it. Almost instantly the projector activated and the image of Darth Sidious appeared. Darth Maul bowed his head not daring to look at his master.
"Rise my apprentice" Darth Sidious' voice was full of authority,
"What is your will my master?" Darth Maul asked, his voice was calm but menacing.
"You must survive on that retched planet until a ship that I send arrives," Darth Sidious replied, "however there is one more thing."
"What is it Master Sidious?" The apprentice asked,
"I warn you now Lord Maul that you must remain vigilant," Sidious continued.
"Of course my master,"
"May the Force be with you Lord Maul" and the projection of Darth Sidious vanished,
"May the Force be with you my master" Darth Maul replied.
Darth Maul stood up, walked outside and again closed his eyes sensing for what his master meant by being vigilant; he sensed no life-forms but he sensed movement throughout the trees Darth Maul stood still sensing the movement following it as it moved throughout the trees and then as he sensed the creature behind him he opened his eyes. The creature fired a gun and the sith lord jumped to his left and skilfully flipped and landed on one knee. Maul looked at his attacker: a heavily armed assassin droid. The Sith Lord stood up and taking hold of his doublesaber activated one blade and instantly sliced the droid in two. Darth Maul turned around and smiled at the sight of the one hundred droids in front of him, he activated the second blade of his doublesaber and as he slashed his doublesaber through the droids he embraced the Dark Side of the force and unleashed it on the measly droids who foolishly dared to attack him and within moments a junkyard of droid parts lay in front of the sith lord,
"No challenge" he said to himself.
