Anuvuin: episode #36 The
Jedi vs. Maul and The Capture of the Viceroy
Previously: They enter the Palace via the hanger. The pilots took off, as well as Anakin. Anakin had destroyed the destroyer droids and had taken off. No one noticed when he took off. Just before they enter the palace, Darth
Maul jumps out and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon begin to fight him. The 2 other groups take the long way around.
Mrs.
Solo in disguise with a group of other people has already started on their
route. Amidala and Panaka with their
people take a side hallway. Neither
group runs into much trouble until they reach the main floor. (I'm shortening all of the parts up, if you
don't mind) Rune Haako and Nute Gunray
step out with their guard's weapons pointed at Amidala's group.
Amidala says, "Put down your weapons, they
win this round."
Amidala's is hoping that they'll lead her to
the throne room, which is exactly where they want to go. Rune Haako and Nute Gunray along with their
guards lead them inside the throne room with the doors still up. Mrs. Solo in disguises' group appears
further down the hallway.
The Federation
Leaders say, "After her, this one's a decoy!"
All the guards run for the fake Queen
Amidala. As soon as they leave, Amidala
goes over to her throne and opens a secret compartment on her throne arm and
pulls out some blasters. She throws them to the people with her on her side.
"Captain!" she says throwing one of him. "Seal the door."
"Now," she says after Panaka does this, "We
will discuss a new treaty."
Rune and Nute
know that they have been tricked ad can do nothing about it. They held the
Federation leaders at gunpoint. Now
onto the Jedi. They have all just
ignited their lightsabers.
You're no match for me!" yells Maul.
Obi-Wan and qui-Gon remain as calm as
possible, they start to fight. Darth
Maul is quick, there's no doubt about it, but this is nothing the Jedi can't
handle, they know. Maul fights Obi-Wan
with one side of the lightsaber and Qui-Gon with the other. Darth Maul gets a nasty idea. He surveyed the place enough to decide where
would be a good place where he would clearly have the advantage. HE decided on leading them to the deadliest
part in the whole place. Maul does
several flips and once he even kicked Qui-Gon down. Anyway, they are now
fighting on a ledge when Obi-Wan goes for an attack. Maul blocks it and kicks Obi-Wan off the ledge. Qui-Gon continues
to fight Maul.
"This man is pure evil," thinks
Qui-Gon.
Maul is thinking, "at last I get to kill
Jedi!"
Darth Maul runs to the place he has chosen
for killing them…behind a series of deadly red lasers in an area with a deep
pit. Qui-Gon runs after him, but doesn't quite make it through all the
lasers. The lasers come on every couple
of minutes…30 seconds they're on, then 30 seconds they're off. There's a safe
place between the different lasers. The last one stopped qui-Gon. Obi-Wan uses the Force to hop him jump to
the level his friend Qui-Gon is on to help him, but he is stopped just after
the first one. Darth Maul smiles meanly at the Jedi. Qui-Gon kneels down and prays. The 2 minutes are soon up and the lasers
come down. Qui-Gon runs and is now in
the same room as Darth Maul. Obi-Wan
runs as fast and as hard as he can, but those 30 seconds are soon up and the
last laser stops him. Obi-Wan is forced
to watch helplessly as Qui-Gon fights Maul. After 20 seconds of clashing swords, on Qui-Gon's next attack, Darth
Maul draws back meanly, and instead of using the end of the double lightsaber
he normally would (both sides are still ignited), he lunges the other side into
Qui-Gon with a fast movement.
"No!!!" screams Obi-Wan as Qui-Gon falls to
the floor.
Just then the 30 seconds are up and Obi-Wan
rushes out. This really made Obi-Wan mad, but he held his anger in check as he
strove to only use the Force for defense. It wasn't as if Darth Maul were trying to turn Obi-Wan over to the Dark
Side or something, because he wasn't. That thought never crossed his mind. Why should it…Obi-Wan had about the same level of Force as Maul. It wasn't strong or anything. Just high average. Anyway, Obi-Wan went after Maul with a sense of determination for
stood. Obi-Wan could tell that Qui-Gon
was not dead yet, but the wound was probably fatal and he didn't have much time
left.
Until next time!
