Star Wars : The Phantom Menace
Watching his master kneeling before Darth Maul, Obi-Wan's heart raced. Noticing the force field separating the two he calmed marginally.
'How could I have let my self get separated!' he wondered before shoving his emotions back in check. Glancing at the force field he briefly considered slicing the force field projectors with his lightsaber. Realizing that the Theed Generator Complex's main power grid was probably routed through it he knew it would probably destroy a good chunk of the content he was on as well. Sensing through the force that the barriers were about to fluctuate again he prepared his lightsaber and readied himself. A moment later he dashed through the hallway but was again to late to join the fray. Stopping just short of the electrical barrier he thought to him self, ' Oh what would Cin say to me.'
Recalling one of his many painful training sessions with Cin Drallig he knew exactly what he'd say.
In one of the many sparring rooms in the jedi temple Obi-Wan was sparring with an older student. Obi-Wan's style was an odd blend of the forms taught which was irritating the older student. As Obi wan started a backwards flip to avoid a slash Drallig called out. "What are you doing?"
Landing Obi wan disengaged his lightsaber, "I was trying a Ataru maneuver." He answered.
"Why?" Cin asked.
"To avoid being hit and to practice using my connection to the force in battle." Obi Wan replied.
"Why not simply step to the side, or backwards?" Cin asked, "Why expend extra energy?"
"Because I was practicing using the force." Obi-wan answered confusedly.
Cin sighed. "The force can help you, but you can't rely solely on it. If you can't execute the move without the force then I wouldn't recommend using it in combat when a simpler move would suffice."
"But master Cin, I think I could do it without the force." Obi-wan said defiantly.
"Really? then by all means ignite your lightsaber and try." said Cin.
Igniting his lightsaber Obi-wan felt the steady hum of the blade in his hand. Jumping over backward he felt him self flow through the room as if he was one with the air himself. Out the corner of his eye he saw master Cin make an odd gesture at him and suddenly Obi-Wan started falling, his connection to the force weakened. Landing on his training blade he cringed and rolled off the blade as quick as he could.
"Let that lesson serve you all well, 'You don't need to be fighting a skilled opponent to lose, you just need to make a mistake.'"
Reanalyzing the situation Obi-Wan ran forward through the disengaging force fields but was a second to late. Obi-Wan contemplated trying to disrupt Dart Maul's connection to the force. Reaching out with the force he suddenly had a new thought. Simply grasping the dark zabrak's lightsaber with the force he was rewarded with a sudden grunt from Darth Maul. Darth Maul momentarily struggled through the resistance, whipping his head about he pressed his hand out towards Obi-Wan sending a slight jolt through Obi-Wan.
Thankfully for the Jedi duo the damage was done. Qui-Gon pressed his advantage pushing Maul towards the force field the dual fought intensely over the next few seconds. Darth Maul pressed forward with a tad bit more power than he should have and Qui-Gon slshed through Darth Maul's lightstave rendering it half functional and leaving a shallow burn across the zabraks chest. Darth maul recovered, and began steadily pushing Qui-Gon back to the center. Deeply locked in their battle the two force wielders barely even noticed the Force fields deactivating. As the deactivation came closer they both changed their stances to adjust for the new combatant. After a few moments of intense combat Qui-Gon finally delivered a killing blow.
Once their foe had fallen the two Jedi quickly went through his equipment in search of any insight into the origins of the strange sith. Finding a few louse credits, an entry key for the Naboo power Generator Complex and a portable communication device. After determining that the communicator was heavily encrypted Qui-Gon turned to Obi-Wan and said, "I'm afraid I misjudged you."
Obi-wan looked confused at that, "Master? What do you mean?"
"Using the force to stop the zabrak," Qui-Gon explained, "I'm impressed." Qui-gon stood up from crouching over the body. "come, we must recover Anakin, and Obi-Wan?"
"Yes master?"
"You truly are ready for the trials."
