Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Yoda walked or in Yoda's case hobbled through the hanger. Their mission was to stop the Trade Federation from overtaking Naboo. Plo Koon came along as well and was assisting the fighter pilots in defeating the droid ships. Plo was in space having a dog fight with the droid fighters. It was decided that this matter was very important and warrented the eye of two Jedi Council Members.
They all felt the evil presences at the end of the hanger. The door slid open and two figures greeted them. One was familiar to the Master and Padawan pair the other was a mystery. It was a child. A boy, possibly an apprentice. The two were dressed in black and hidden in shadow.
"We'll take it from here." Ordered Qui-Gon. It was imperative that the mission succeded. The Queen nodded and directed her group to another way. The tall figure removed his cloak and activated his lightsaber. It was a double bladed one with two red blades. The smaller one removed his cloak as well and actived his smaller red blade.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan followed suit. Yoda leaned on his grimer stick and did not activate his lightsaber. He believed his job did need from him to draw his weopen. They had a short conversation with telepathy that ended with the Qui-Gon and his padawan to engage the tall one and have Yoda take care of the younger one. Once Yoda was finished with his opponent then he would catch up and help Qui-Gon. It was much easier for a Jedi pair to fight the tall figure since they have worked together for some time and knows each other's moves.
Without a word the two Jedi leapt at Maul and started attacking him. Yoda walked towards the boy slowly. He tried to appear as unthreatening as possible. The boy in turn backed away, leading their fight somewhere else. They kept this up until they were in the corriders amid charred droids. It was then did the boy attack. The boy attacked clumsily. His moves were unrefined. A Jedi youngling his age was better than this boy was. Yoda used his grimer stick in battle, easily knocking the boy's lightsaber away. The boy had no fear in his eyes just acceptance. It almost unnerved the aged master in how accepting the boy was in defeat. It was as if the boy wanted to die. However Yoda was not one to kill children. Yoda used the force to bend some metal rods to confine the boy to the wall. He then took the time to scan the boy. Eyes widened in alarm when he felt the massive force presence. Never had he felt such a strong presnce.
"Name have you?" Yoda asked intrigued.
The boy didn't respond. He stopped struggling with his bonds and just sat there silently. Yoda was most concerned. He had a soft spot for younglings and to see this one so listless and without joy pained him. He force called the boy's lightsaber and attached it to his belt. Then he went off to help Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. The security people in the palace should be able to confine the young boy. It puzzled Yoda why the boy didin't use force powers. He obviously had power. Perhaps he wasn't trained that well.
Yoda came upon the fight and dropped in. Obi-Wan was a few catwalks under the one his master was one. Yoda landed on the catwalk and foce pushed the Sith. With his intervention Obi-Wan was able to get back onto the catwalk and into safety. Together the three Jedi attacked and soundly defeated the Sith. Qui-Gon took one hand and Obi-Wan choped off the other arm. Yoda then force pulled the lightsaber away from the Sith. They had defeated him with minimal loos of life and injury.
"Defeated you are. Resist you should not." Said Yoda.
The Sith growled and despite his injuries leapt at Yoda. In one quick slash the body fell, his head tumbling off the catwalk. Yoda turned his lightsaber off and reattached it to his belt. His move was so fast none of the other Jedi saw it.
Obi-Wan relaxed and he too turned his lightsaber off. "Master thank the Force you arrived."
Qui-Gon meanwhile checked the body for any type of identification. He found some datapads that were encrypted. When they return to the temple they will have some Jedi unencrypt the files.
A voice crackled through the comlink.. "This is Master Plo Koon, we're destroyed the control ship."
Yoda acknowleged it. "Done on this end we are."
Qui-Gon noticed that Yoda had another lightsaber with him. He remebered about the boy. "Master Yoda what the boy?"
Yoda nodded. "Confine him I did. Pick him up we should."
The other two Jedi nodded. They followed Yoda to the corrider where the boy was trapped. The boy was still there. It appeared he didn't even try to escape. Dull blue eyes looked at them and then looked away.
"Sleep you should." Intoned Yoda subtly using the Force to make the boy fall asleep. Qui-Gon then picked the boy up and cradled him in his massive arms.
"We should have a Jedi look over him and once we're in the temple decide what we should do with him." Murmered Qui-Gon.
"Interesting this new development. If Sith we called was master then apprentive this boy is. Yet, unskilled he is." Yoda told the other Jedi about the fight and how easy it was to disarm the boy.
"Do you think this a trap?" Questioned Obi-Wan.
"Hm." Hummed Yoda. "Feel I do, too easy this is."
The Jedi looked at each other. Yes it did seem far too easy. However it was good that this matter was ended without much death. Once Master Plo Koon landed and this whole matter resolved with the Trade Federation then they will contemplate the boy. He was a mystery and enigma.
