Chapter Thirteen!
(A.N. BACK BY POPULAR REQUEST! Thanks SOOO MUCH GUYS FOR REVIEWING! Sorry for any misspellings, I hope you forgive me. * Are you guys ready? Here goes.)
Darth Maul's lightsaber arched down, brushing against Anakin's back, he screamed from the pain. Okay, he thought, that was dumb. He dodged another blade aimed at his face. Really dumb.
Obi-Wan attacked, aiming a strike at the Sith's head. The monster parried, and bore down on him with the other side of the double-bladed sword.
Obi-Wan had to take a step back, in order to save himself from a lightsaber planted in his head. It would have cleaved him in two.
Anakin lunged again, this time with more caution. Side swipe, the Sith caught it. For a moment he and his opponent were brought to a halt, poised against each other and the Sith smiled. Anakin groaned, didn't anyone in the universe brush their teeth anymore?
The dark warrior laughed, seeing how inexperienced his current opponent seemed to be. "My name is Darth Maul, and I will be your doom."
Anakin returned the nasty smile. "No-one is my doom, least of all you bright-eyes."
Obi-Wan attacked again, bringing the brunt of Maul's force to him. Obi-Wan had never seen such a method of fighting. It was fast, hard, and crazed. The Sith was definitely insane.
Anakin used Obi-Wan's distraction to sidle around and join in beside the Jedi. Obi-Wan glanced at him, and Anakin nodded. Now they'd fight together, Anakin understood what Obi-Wan had meant. Alone, he was toast.
Obi-Wan was surprised when Anakin rejoined the fight, and this time when they advanced he was in perfect coordination. Where Obi-Wan would strike, Anakin would parry. It was amazing how Anakin anticipated his moves before he made them. Suddenly he knew that this Anakin Skywalker was unbelievably strong in the Force. To any seasoned warrior this fight was almost deadly, and it would be deadly to a young padawan, but Anakin had not received any training whatsoever, and here he was fighting beside a fully trained knight. In one sickening moment Obi-Wan realized that if this Anakin Skywalker was taught to be a Sith, his talent curved to the side of evil, nobody would survive.
Anakin smiled as he saw that together he and the Jedi were forcing the Sith back. It was working! Mental note, next time hear the Jedi out. He spun and struck, the Sith only barely staying away.
Darth Maul cursed under his breath, the two of them together were much harder targets. He had not suspected this, and he hated surprises. Taking in a breath, he leaped away, getting a moment to breathe.
Obi-Wan was quicker to follow up Maul than Anakin, and wasn't suspecting the sudden flurry of attacks. The double-blades whizzed and hummed around him, and Obi-Wan had a sickening feeling. He parried, thrust, and barely jumped away in time.
Anakin cursed himself for being so slow, but he hadn't suspected Obi-Wan to follow up like that. Now, the Jedi was being hung-out to dry.
Obi-Wan parried, right-left-right-right. The monster was on him. Every strike was met by a parry that quickly turned into a thrust. And suddenly, he knew. The two blades locked, and Obi-Wan glared into the yellow eyes of the Sith. "You killed my master."
Darth Maul frowned, reading the Jedi's mind. Images of a bloody body in the sand, and a savage lightsaber wound to the stomach. Maul smiled, slicing at Obi-Wan viciously. "Yes."
Obi-Wan's body shook with anger, and his hands griped his lightsaber so hard his knuckles turned white as ash. A voice inside him told himself to stay calm, use the Force, and to think. But the lust for revenge that had been fed over the last decade hushed the voice of sensibility. Fury took over, and Obi-Wan used all his strength- to attack.
Anakin was almost there, but now the Jedi was acting like he was the only one around. The Jedi was fighting so fiercely that the Sith was taken back- but that was only for a mili-second. Anakin saw the opening. "Obi-Wan, wait!"
Obi-Wan only heard Anakin's plea barely, he was too deep into the battle. He felt power coming from some unseen place, some dark place he had never ventured before. However, the power and the hate were blinding, and that's the reason why he didn't see the Sith's move.
Anakin watched in horror as the Jedi was taken unaware. "Noooo!"
***OUTSIDE THE PHOENIX***
Padme punched in the entrance code to the Phoenix's landing ramp. She was hot, sweaty, and weary. But she was also fearful. As she had been running toward the Phoenix she had seen a glance of the lightsaber duel over her shoulder. The creature had indeed been a Sith, which meant Anakin and Obi- Wan were in grave danger.
She ran up the ramp, her heartbeat drumming in her ears. She switched the ramp to close behind her. Padme ran to the cockpit, knocking over tools and extra parts as she went. If Anakin thought she would wait twenty minutes and then leave he was daft. She couldn't loose him now, he was the only person to bring her out of the shell of fear she had lived in for so many years, she owed him her freedom, and her life.
Padme stumbled into the cockpit, and glanced around at the alien controls. "Sithspawn." She had never been trained to fly a ship like this before. Where was the ignition button? Shakily, she slid into the pilot's seat. She had watched Anakin fly it earlier, what had he done!?! A flip of a switch here? A nob-turn there? What!
Suddenly, she heard someone knock on the outer hull. Padme's heart suddenly jumped into her mouth.
