This chapter is about when Obi-wan went to Mandalore and face Maul in season 5. I think it was episode 16 or something. The difference is, Laetitia is with him as his Padawan.
Chapter 16
Obi-wan had heard the news about Mandalore and Satine being captured. He knew the council had ordered him to not do anything but he needed to check on her. Even though it was against the Jedi code, he did have feelings for her once and being around her brought back old memories and feelings.
He started the ship and went into hyperspace. It would take about one and a half day to reach Mandalore. He was about to close his eyes and meditate but the sound of beeping stopped him. Apparently he picked the wrong ship.
He took a closer look but didn't understand what was wrong.
"This is the last time I will borrow a ship from you Anakin. If only you were here. Or even Ahsoka."
"I'm hurt. I'm not in your 'emergency people' list? Thank you so much!" Suddenly he heard a female's voice and turned around to see Laetitia standing in front of him, her arms crossed.
"Laetitia? What the blazes are you doing?!"
She smiled "Right now? Saving you by repairing the ship."
"No, I mean what are you doing, here, in my ship?"
"One, it's not your ship. Two, you're going to Mandalore. I'm coming with you."
"No, you are not."
"Technically, I already am. Unless you want to turn back and drop me off in Coruscant, you're stuck with me master. Besides, it's not like you're the master of repairing. Master Skywalker taught me everything you don't know about mechanics. Which means basically everything." She muttered the last part.
Obi-wan gave a look. "Padawan, I appreciate you being here, but it's dangerous. I sense the dark side in Mandalore. You are not ready to …"
"All the more reason. This isn't about me being ready. I'm just here to watch your back. Master Skywalker would kill me if something happened to you while he was away."
The kid was stubborn. She definitely got that from her mother, and father but Obi-wan doesn't know that.
Obi-wan was wearing a Death Watch armor and Laetitia a cadet.
"Are you here to do your master's bidding?" Satine asked without looking at Obi-wan.
"I do my own bidding."
"Obi-wan!" she said as she wrapped her arms around him. "Are you alone?"
"No, he is not." Laetitia said as she came out of the shadow.
"You brought a child with you?"
"Excuse me, my lady, but this child has saved master Obi-wan's life more than he can count. Now, hug later, escape first."
"Actually, it was 4 times."
"Five."
Maul was sitting on the throne, with Satine standing beside him and Obi-wan and Laetitia kneeling in front of him.
"Your noble flaw is a weakness shared by you and your duchess." He said as he lifted Satine by the Force.
"You should have chosen the dark side."
"Leave her alone" Leah said in a threatening tone.
Maul looked at the 4-year-old in front of him and laughed. "So this is supposed to be Jedi's 'savior'? My former master and the Jedi are a fool to think you will be anything. I can feel your anger. You would make a powerful Sith but the Jedi have fooled you by thinking you could ever become one. You could only be half a Jedi."
Maul was teasing her and luring her into his trap. Laetitia knew it but that didn't make her less angry. She decided instead of falling into a trap, she should return the favor.
"Then it's only fitting I'm here since you're only half a Sith too. Literally and figuratively." She smirked pointing at his body and mechanical legs.
That angered Maul. He hissed "Your sharp tongue will be the end of you, girl!"
"Don't you mean the end of you?"
Maul was getting tired of this. He wanted the person who ruined his life to know pain. His pain. He was planning to lure Obi-wan to the dark side but now that he knew that wasn't happening, he held the black saber in his hand and stroke Satine down.
Obi-wan gasped and went to get her body. Laetitia was speechless. All that wit and confidence she had two seconds ago disappeared. She could feel her master's sadness in the Force. She could feel anger growing behind the sadness. Before Obi-wan could react, Laetitia used the Force to free her lightsaber from Maul' supposed brother's grasp and was in the form to fight.
"Stay back. She is mine." Maul said as he walked down the throne and unclicked his lightsaber from his belt.
Maul attacked first. Laetitia dodged it easily. She had the advantage. Everyone in the temple made fun of her because her body was smaller than usual. Who knew it could come in handy in fighting a former Sith?
Maul kept attacking and Laetitia kept dodging. She was tired of playing offence and started playing defense. She disarmed Maul in a blink of an eye and was holding her lightsabers down to his throat. She was about to strike but everyone in the room heard the explosion and that wall fell on them.
She decided to leave Maul. So she took her master's hand and they ran to their ship.
They were running but stopped to let the soldiers pass. They waited for the moment to move.
"Are you alright, master?" Laetitia asked although she knew that was a stupid question.
Obi-wan tried to smile and reassure his Padawan "Yes, Padawan, I am fine. Are you alright? You just fought a Sith lord and managed to disarm him in a few minutes. I defeated Maul before but he is not an easy opponent."
"I'm fine. I'm just worried that I made a mistake by letting him live. You didn't kill him hard enough and look how many people are dead. What if he comes back and …"
"Let's worry about that later. What are we going to do about the ship? Anakin lent me one but you saw it. It's in no shape to move."
Suddenly a voice from the back said "You can borrow mine."
Both Laetitia and Obi-wan pulled out their lightsabers.
"Who are you?"
"Bo-Katan. I'm here to rescue you and that's all you need to know. Now come on, we don't have a lot of time before they get here."
"Get on this ship. You can get to your home with this."
Laetitia was about to get on but stopped. She felt cold. It was the dark side of the Force but it wasn't Dooku. She didn't feel like this when she was in his presence. The only time she felt like this was when she was …
Then it suddenly hit him. The Sith lord, Dooku's master, was here. The one who kidnapped and tortured her when she was two weeks-old. If it wasn't for him, she never had to hide behind the Force because of her white hair.
She was about to run to kill the animal responsible for all this mess but she heard her master's voice.
"Laetitia come one! Get on the ship!"
Despite of what she wanted, she listened to her master.
They were on the sip. None of them were saying something. Laetitia felt like it was necessary to do something to break the ice. So she walked to her master and pulled her short arms around his neck.
Obi-wan was startled at first but knew where this was coming from. He decided to close his eyes for a minute and just be calm.
"I'm sorry, master." She whispered.
Done :)
Sorry, this is the edited version. the one I had uploaded had some misspellings that I corrected in this one.
