Sorry it took so long to post this chapter, I've been having a busy week. Hope you enjoy.
The torso of Darth Maul, was now completely connected to mechanical legs with claw like feet. The legs had been modeled after the deceased General Grievous, and had been lined with a plating off shock absorbent metal. Darth Sidious observed his former apprentice, the Sith Ritual that was about to take place would either destroy Darth Maul completely, or cleanse his mind of the mental damage that had been done to him after submerging completely into the dark side in order to survive. All medical droids had been ordered to leave the room. Sidious used the force to levitate the thin stone bowl that was engraved with ancient Sith markings. A glowing blue liquid sat still within the floating basin. Sidious drew a silver knife from his cloak and sliced into Darth Maul's palm, the apprentices's eyes shot open and he began to writhe as his damaged conscious once again took control. Metal binds immediately locked onto his arms and legs, preventing him from attacking his former master in his unstable state. Sidious allowed several drops of the crimson blood to drip from the silver blade into the glowing liquid. Sidious began to chant in an ancient language of the Sith, before releasing a deadly wave of force lightning into the bowl. The liquid burned bright blue before shimmering down into a silvery mist. The room dissolved around the two Sith. Sidious smiled as he recognized where Darth Maul's mind had taken them. Naboo. The body of Qui Gon lay dead to the right, the shimmering blade of Darth Maul having just plunged into his heart having boiled his blood. The apprentice of the fallen jedi was clutching onto the ridge of the reactor pit. Above him, in one piece, was Darth Maul. The cold concentration of hatred toward the jedi Obi Wan that suddenly lurched out of the present Darth Maul took Sidious by surprise, the raw power, it both concerned and impressed Sidious. He would need to closely monitor his former apprentice, in order to make sure he did not become overly powerful. The past version of Darth Maul was impatiently pacing, slashing the rim above Obi Wan, causing sparks to rain down upon him.
"Noo!" jerkily screamed Darth Maul from beside Sidious. Both Sith new what was about to happen, Obi Wan would make an unaccpected move, jumping into the air and slicing Darth Maul in half. Now, clearing up the mental damage which had rendered Darth Maul useless, thought Sidious. Slowly, using the dark side of the force, he allowed the present Maul's conscious to seep into the hallucination of the past. It would be a nightmare, reliving the worst moment of your life, and worse, knowing what would happen. But now, Maul had an opportunity, an opportunity that was given to him through Sith Sorcery. Sidious smiled, this would be the moment that would determine Darth Maul's worth, either he would cower away from the blow that Obi Wan had inflicted upon him, or he would unleash his rage, and tear down his greatest failure, his greatest fear, his greatest enemy. The past version of Maul suddenly fell back, stumbling away from Obi Wan, his eyes open in shock. Suddenly Maul's features became sharp, his face tightened with rage, and he let out a scream full of rage and fear, before lashing out at Obi Wan. The jedi put up a small fight, but the continued slashes and strikes sent him back, before finally he was disarmed. Maul laughed a horrible laugh, before sending the blade straight into Obi Wans stomach. Darth Maul withdrew the blade before once again plunging it into Obi Wan's stomach, again and again he stabbed the jedi, until Kenobi began to cough up embers, and slowly slid down, an enormous hole carved out of his stomach, the wall behind him was also covered in scorch marks. Maul breathed heavily, before letting out a victorious cry. The reactor room faded away, revealing the surgery room. The liquid in the stone basin have completely evaporates into nothingness. Darth Maul sat still on the table, his eyes were clear, his face was relaxed, and an evil smile was still plastered on his lips. Sidious removed the restraints on the table with a simple flick of his hand. Maul sat up, and immediately tested his new legs, stumbling at first, but gaining his footing. As soon as he had done so, he fell into a bow before Sidious.
"What is my bidding, my master," he said. Sidious smiled.
"Revenge."
Sorry if the whole "sith sorcery" thing was a bit unclear, next chapter will be mostly centered around the jedi and asajj ventress. Please leave a review, I'm always open to ideas.
