I'm throwing my hat into the Geonosis arena and making a star wars story. I don't know where this will go, I just know it'll go somewhere.

"Obi-Wan," a distorted voice called out from the darkness.

Obi-Wan looked around him, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Obi-Wan," the voice called a bit louder this time.

"Who's there, show yourself."

Obi-Wan turned around and saw a faint light. Wasting no time he ran to go find its source. As he got closer, the light turned into an image. Upon further inspection, it was the Jedi Temple at night. The Jedi temple quickly became distorted, on fire and in ruins for a second before returning back to its normal state.

"Anakin this better not be some foolish trick" Obi-Wan called out, hoping his former padawan would answer.

"Obi-Wan!" Anakin yelled from behind him.

Obi-Wan turned around a faced the chosen one. Looking at Anakin caused him to feel a sense of dread, something about Anakin was off.

"Anakin what is going on?" Obi-Wan asked.

Anakin looked up at Obi-Wan but instead of being met with his crystal blue eyes, he was met with a piercing yellow gaze.

"Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked, hoping that what he was seeing wasn't true.

"You failed me, master. Do you know what I have become?"

The sound of mechanical breathing could be heard and in a split second Anakin was replaced by a man dressed in all black, helmet covering what he looked like. His force signature remained that of his former apprentice, that thing was Anakin.

It's over Anakin I have the high ground filled his ears as Anakin moved closer to him.

You underestimate my power

Don't try it… You were my brother Anakin, I loved you!

I hate you!

Anakin drew his lightsaber, the red blade illuminating the area surrounding them. Obi-Wan drew his own lightsaber and move to block Anakin's strike. The two lock blades and for a brief moment, evil Anakin was replaced with the Anakin he had been on countless missions with.

"Rise Lord Vader," someone said from behind him. The evil Anakin forced Obi-Wan's blade away from him and in a swift strike, Anakin cut Obi-Wan down.


Obi-Wan woke up with a jolt, sweat covered his body. He brushed away his ginger locks from his eyes and got up from his bed. This wasn't the first nightmare he had but this one, in particular, was the worst one. The Jedi master struggled to open the door with his shanking hands but managed to get it open nonetheless. He made his way to the balcony and looked out towards the city lights of Corosaunt. Obi-Wan ran a hand through his ginger locks trying to shake the memory of the nightmare.

"What is wrong with me" he muttered to himself.

Just then his comlink began beeping. He picked it up and answered it even though he knew, he wasn't in the condition to do so.

"Kenobi here," he said.

"Master Kenobi, you are wanted in the council chamber."

"Hello to you too Master Windu."

"There is no time for pleasantries Master Kenobi, please report to the council chamber now."

"On my way now Mace."

The transmission ended and Obi-Wan put the com away before turning back towards his room.

Council Chamber…

Obi-Wan entered the room and immediately saw both Anakin and Ahsoka standing before the council.

'I hate you!'

Obi-Wan pushed the nightmare to the back of his mind before bowing respectfully towards the council. He walked next to Anakin and looked at Master Yoda.

"Welcome, Master Kenobi. A mission we have for you, dangerous it is. Accompany you, Skywalker and Tano will." Yoda said addressing the trio.

"Where to?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Mandalore" Mace replied, looking directly at Obi-Wan.

"Captured, the Dutchess is. Know her well you do, Master Kenobi. Trust you with her life she would."

"By who?"

Yoda looked at Mace before looking back at Obi-Wan

"Maul."

Obi-Wan's fists became clenched as he processed the information, that was until Anakin spoke up.

"Masters with all due respect, this mission would be more suited for clone commandos."

"Anakin, Sat- Dutchess Kyrze is very adamant about keeping the Republic out of Mandalore's affairs. Although I disagree with her, it is best to respect her wishes," Obi-Wan replied.

"Infiltrate Mandalore, you are. Rescue the Dutchess, you three will. Avoid a confrontation with Maul you must."

Obi-Wan nodded as the three of them were dismissed. Anakin turned to Obi-Wan who looked visibly shaken.

"You ok master?" he asked.

"I'm fine Anakin, I just didn't get a lot of sleep."

"Well, I'm sure you'll get plenty of rest now knowing that your girlfriend is being held, hostage."

"Anakin she is not my-!"

Obi-Wan sighed and leaned against the wall of the hallway. Anakin and Ahsoka looked at him concerned as he sumped down and put his hands over his face.

"Yes at one point we loved each other," Obi-Wan started as he looked up at Anakin. "Maybe I still have feelings for her, maybe I regret not leaving the order to be with her, maybe I regret not making sure Maul was dead.

"Satine's life is at stake and I can't bear the thought of losing her. If we go to Mandalore, Maul will kill her, if we don't go, he'll kill her. All I want is to save her and rid the galaxy of the monster that is Maul."

Obi-Wan got back on his feet with the help of Anakin and Ahsoka. Obi-Wan activated his com and the person he wanted, responded.

"General?" the voice asked.

"Cody, ready the men, we are heading to Mandalore."

"Understood sir, I'll see you soon."

Obi-Wan shut off his com and looked back towards Anakin.

"I've decided to take a page out of your book and not follow orders. Contact Rex, if we are to save Satine we will need an army."

Anakin smiled and nodded before contacting Rex to get the 501st ready.


Obi-Wan was on Mandalore, he could see Maul with Satine in his hands.

Let her go, Maul, it is me you want, not her!

I told you I would make you suffer for the pain you have caused me.

He stabbed her, Obi-Wan desperately tried to fight out of the grip of the two men holding him down. Maul removed the blade from her torso and let her fall to the ground. Obi-Wan broke free and rushed to her side only for her to die in his arms.

Satine…

Obi-Wan snapped, he used the force to grab his lightsaber and ignited it. He cut the heads of the two soldiers that held him down first then he choked another man that was behind him. He watched as Savage moved towards him and he slashed his arm off. Then his eyes were focused on Maul, he felt the rage consuming him but it made him powerful. As Obi-Wan moved towards Maul, the scene around him changed, Mandalore replaced by Naboo or Alderaan, he couldn't tell.

It was the reactor haft where Maul killed his master. Obi-Wan looked around and saw Anakin fighting him. Anakin was on the defensive while he was swinging madly at his former padawan. Obi-Wan wanted to stop the fight but for some reason, he couldn't just help but watch. He watched as the other Obi-Wan forced Anakin's lightsaber out of his and stabbed him.


Obi-Wan woke up, drenched in sweat. 'Another kriffing nightmare' he thought to himself. The Jedi master got up from his bed and walked into the fresher. He took a quick shower before getting his gear on and began to make his way to the bridge. Once there he made his way over to Cody who was talking the Anakin and Rex on the holoprojector.

"You're looking well master, another nightmare?" Anakin asked.

"I'm fine Anakin, I just need some tea."

"Ok then, Master are you sure bringing both our legions was a good idea. You said it yourself, the Dutchess won't like this republic interference in Mandalorian affairs."

"I agree with the general, Mandalore will see this as an act of the Republic meddling with Mandolore's affairs," Rex added

"I can assure you that if we didn't bring the troops along, Satine had a higher chance of being killed."

Anakin looked at Obi-Wan, he could see the desperation in his eyes. It was clear he still loved the Dutchess, it was the same look Padme would say he gave her when they were young.

"I'm just saying you'll get a stern talking-to from both the Dutchess and the Council when this is all over."

"I know Anakin, I know."

"Well master, we will arrive at Mandalore shortly. I'll contact you when we are ready. May the force be with you, Master."

"And with you as well" Obi-Wan replied.

Anakin and Rex's image disappeared leaving Obi-Wan and Cody to themselves. Cody turned to Obi-Wan who was still looking at where Anakin once stood.

"Sir, I'm worried about you too. You haven't been the same since we got back from Felucia."

"I'm fine Cody, why does everyone think I am not well."

"Sir, you were tossing and turning in your sleep. I almost sent Waxer to check on you to make sure you weren't having a seizure."

"I'm fine Cody" Obi-Wan forcibly assured.

Cody sighed and nodded before walking away. Obi-Wan stood there watching him walk away and mentally slapped himself for not opening up.


The halls of Sundari palace were quiet ever since Maul had taken over. Satine watched in horror from her cell as her planet was destroyed by the Zabrak. Her nights were awful listing to the screams of the innocent being slaughtered and this night was just like the others. However, instead of Satine laying down and trying to go to sleep and wake up from this nightmare, she sat on the floor praying that Obi-Wan would come and save her. She prayed that he would vanquish Maul and save Mandalore.

In the throne room, Maul sat on the throne, deep in thought when his Holoprgojector lit up with a familiar face.

"Master," Maul said as he kneeled before him.

"Maul, the purpose you have in my plans is about to become a reality. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker are on their way to Mandalore as I have foreseen. You are to eliminate them and prevent them from rescuing our good friend the Dutchess."

"As you wish, my master."

"If you fail and somehow survive, I won't be so forgiving the next time I see you."

Above Mandalore, Republic ships began coming out of hyperspace and all the landing craft was being prepared for the invasion. Obi-Wan grabbed his lightsaber and made his way to the hangar. Upon reaching it, Cody walked up beside him and grabbed his shoulder.

"General, she'll be alright."

"I hope so," Obi-Wan said as the two of them boarded a gunship.

The gunships began to take off and the battle for Mandalore began. As the LAATs descended, the ground defenses began to light up the sky. Obi-Wan grabbed the support bars as the flak intensified around his ship. He peered through the small windows in the door and watched as Anakin's gunship dodged some incoming flak. Just after the Gunship was rocked by a shell that got too close, the pilot's voice came over the speaker.

"General, the LZ is too hot!"

"We need to land pilot get us as close as you can, I'll deal with the flak-" Obi-Wan said before he got cut off by an explosion.

"We've been hit!" yelled the pilot.

Obi-Wan looked out and saw the wing on fire.

"Obi-Wan your ship is on fire" Came Anakin's voice crackling over his com.

"I'm sure just a little crash landing will put it out."

"Be careful, I'm sending in some bombers to take out the flak guns."

"No, don't. Pilot, aim the gunship at their defenses and prepare to jump."

Obi-Wan looked at the men in his gunship, then at Cody.

"Get ready to jump."

The doors opened and the men inside jumped out. Obi-Wan hit the ground first and watched as the gunship crashed into one of the cannons. He ignited his lightsaber and charged at the other cannon. Obi-Wan jumped up the gunner's seat and stabbed him before he could do anything.

Anakin's gunship landed and its occupants got out of the ship. Anakin joined Obi-Wan and helped block some of the incoming blaster fire. Rex and Cody started firing back at the deathwatch making sure to watch their Jedi general's backs.

"Nice of you to join the party," Obi-Wan said to Anakin.

"I can't let you have all the fun now can we?" he replied.

"So what's the plan General?" asked Rex.

"Clear a path to the palace, rescue the dutchess and hopefully kill Maul in the process."

"Sounds easy."

Over the sounds of blaster fire, someone yelled out grenade and Obi-Wan went flying.


Maul sat on is throne listening to the sounds of battle. Savage walked up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Brother, I shall go meet our Jedi friends on the battlefield. I will kill them and force their clones back."

"Kill all but Kenobi, Savage. He is mine and I will make him suffer."

Savage nodded before leaving Maul where he currently sat.


"General Kenobi are you alright!?" Cody asked over the gunshots.

"I'm fine Cody, thank you" Obi-wan replied as he got up off the ground.

"Master, if you are done taking a nap, I could really use some help over here!" Anakin yelled as he blocked another blaster bolt.

"Master we've got company" Ahsoka told Anakin.

"Where Ahsoka?"

"There," she replied pointing at the large Zabrak advancing towards them.

The three Jedi stood ready as Savage ignited his double blade.

"Let's take him together," Obi-Wan said.

Savage charged them and Obi-Wan and Anakin blocked each blade while Ahsoka charged forward and slashed him across his chest. Obi-Wan and Anakin looked at each other, nodded, and pushed Savage back before the both of them brought up their blades and chopped the Zabrak's head off.

The three of them watched as his body fell to the ground lifeless.

"That was easy" Anakin commented.

"Yes too easy but there is no time to dwell on it now. Ahsoka stay with the men and help them clear the city., Anakin you and I are going to the palace."

Ahsoka nodded and ran off to get help, Rex and Cody. Obi-Wan used the force and grabbed Savage's lightsaber before making their way to the palace.

Maul watched as his men opened up the door and Obi-Wan and Anakin walked through.

"Hello there," Obi-Wan said, looking directly at Maul.

"Kenobi!"

"Mandalore is surrounded, the clones are marching on the city, your reign is at its end."

"You think you can beat me? Savage was weak, only fueled by the magic of the nightsisters."

"You sent him to his death?"

"All part of my plan to make you suffer. When we're done here and I kill your padawan like I gutted your master, I will make you watch as your beloved dutchess is tortured. Then and only then will I kill you, to make you feel the same pain I have felt ever since that fateful day on Naboo."

Maul stood up and ignited his crimson blade. Obi-Wan and Anakin responded by igniting their lightsabers.

"Try and keep up Anakin" Obi-Wan whispered.

"Don't worry master, I've got this under control"
