Obi-wan let the force flow through him. It guided him and protected him. Dodged sweeping blows and launched himself into the air to avoid several viscous attacks. He tried to get the Sith by surprise but was unsuccessful. The Sith slowly began to drive him back onto the catwalks. As they traded blows neither was able to score any hits. They launched themselves from catwalk to catwalk in a areal dance that was as beautiful as it was deadly. One misstep and they would die a painful death.

But in the arms of the force Obi-wan did not misstep. Obi-wan tried every trick he knew to win. But while his acrobatics gave him an advantage against most opponents it did little against the Sith. He was every bit a acrobatic as Obi-wan. The continued the fierce battle. The connections of their light sabers echoing through the silent chambers. They soon came to the end of the catwalk. Obi-wan finally took the offensive and began driving the Sith back through the hallway. As they moved a sudden barrier flashed between them. They both prodded the field with their sabers. When neither of them cold penetrate it they settled down to wait.

Obi-wan sank into the force, while the Sith staled back and forth angrily. Then suddenly the barrier snapped down. They both began fighting again. The quickly cleared the hallway and entered the Melting chamber. Obi-wan used the close walls to his advantage an launched himself off them. The sith, not expecting that type of attack was taken off guard. Obi-wan was able to damage the red saber so that only one side ignited. They were now on equal ground. Obi-wan in a flash of insight shifted his fighting style from areal to grounded. He began to use the techniques taught to him by Qui-gon before he had left. But the Sith had decided to do something new as well. He blasted Obi-wan with the force. And while it normally would,'t have done much damage, Obi-wan was still functioning through his headache from his force vision.

The Force blast stunned him for long enough that the Sith could stab him. But Obi-wan was used to functioning through the pain. So he recovered enough to react at the last moment. Therefor the Sith did not stab him through the heart as intended. He instead he wound up stabbing him through the stomach due to Obi-wan's sudden sweep of the Saber. Obi-wan looked at the creature. While this wound would not kill him immediately, it would do so eventually. The Sith prepared to pull the glowing red blade from Obi-wan's body, he acted. With one movement he cut the Sith in half. The now dead creature fell backwards down the pit. fortunately for Obi-wan when it fell, the saber went with it. Obi-wan collapsed on the floor clutching his wound. He tried to stay conscious but was unable to fight it for long. With one last whisper through the force he fell silent. //I'm sorry Master//

Qui-gon was running though the catwalks when he heard the fading voice of Obi-wan through the link. He pulled more on the force and picked up his pace. He would not let Obi-wan die! He cleared the catwalks and came to the hallway Obi-wan had come down a few moments earlier. Was it only a few moments? It felt like an eternity. He saw the red barricades but didn't have the time to deal with them. He felt the force tug and saw a control panel on the wall. He quickly shut down the barriers and sprinted to Obi-wan's side. He gathered the fallen Jedi in his arms. He looked at the wound and was grateful to see it was not a heart wound. He carefully began sending waves of the force into Obi-wan. //Hold on Obi-wan! Just hold on!// But for all his efforts Obi-wan still faded. And then before he could register what was going on He was tossed out of the force. He saw a bright light. And then he saw nothing.
