A/N: Gasp. It's not a Firefly fic. I took a wee break from my massive amoust of Fireflyness. This kinda just came to me. My favorite fight in the entire sries and the best part of the first film. I'll tell ya that my Padawan tought me this fight. Yes, she taught me. We learned it all from the point where Obi-Wan gets Qui-Gon's saber to where he flips over Maul. Only till there, becasue neither of us can flip from the ground. Anyhow. The story. Read on, me hearties.
The red veil in front of him tinged everything the color of hate. Obi-Wan felt an uncouth anger rising in him, and struggled valiantly against it. Before him, through the veil, the creature stared at him, its demon eyes reflecting loathing. The Jedi gripped his saber hilt. And the veil disappeared.
Obi-Wan joined battle with vigor. He felt the Force flow through him, adding strength to his thrust and speed to his parry. The Sith fought mechanically, matching him blow for blow. Obi-Wan let his anger rise, though it pained him to do so. Then it betrayed him and he found himself falling backward, toward the edge of the abysmal hole. With the Force he reached and his hands found a protrusion. He hung there for a moment, letting his anger subside. He replaced it with calculating calm.
The hateful creature slashed madly above him, but Obi-Wan chose to ignore it. He reached out with the Force, searching. Then he found it. He leapt up and his Master's saber was suddenly in his hand. The Sith retreated, its pants singed.
Parry, thrust, duck, jump. Always forward, never back. Obi-Wan let the Force dictate his every move, did not allow himself to think as his hands flew, bringing the single green blade in sweeping arcs between himself and the double red blade. Then that blade was severed. The creature's eyes widened. The look of loathing was replaced by the pained realization of its imminent doom. Obi-Wan allowed himself a smug smile. The Sith fell slowly over the brink of the pit, its severed body falling separately, bouncing. The Jedi retracted his lightsaber and turned to his Master.
