Hello dear readers!
I have recently finished watching Clone Wars and started on Rebels, so I had the itch to do something Star Wars related. I found some information regarding the Darth Maul comics, and since he was one of my favorite designs, I decided to make a quick fiction about him.
Please keep in mind that this Darth Maul is very loosely based on the comics. I only read the summary and I am using it basically like a writing prompt rather than anything concrete, so it is nowhere near accurate.
Also TRIGGER WARNING: This fic will include abuse, sexual suggestion and may have implications of adult activity and violence.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this one-shot (Actually probably gonna be just like 2-3 chapters. Nothing big.)

How had it come to this?
Maul wondered to himself as he stared deeply into the blue pools of a serenity he would never truly know. In his arms he held a beautiful, graceful creature who returned his gaze with such compassion and gentleness that it made Maul's hardened hearts skip. To make it that much worse, he could sense her genuine intentions held no malice for him, merely care and concern...
It had all begun a few days before...
Maul had received news of a crashed shuttle of Jedi ambassadors, of which only a padawan by the name of Eldra Kaitis. survived. The padawan had been taken by the Xrexus Cartel and Maul knew he would have a chance to fully test the limits of the dark side against such a prey. He immediately set forth, to retrieve this padawan, so that he might hunt her down like the Jedi pig-in-training that she was. But he must keep secret his mission, lest his master be angry at his eagerness to enact the teachings he had known since infancy. Maul could not pass up such a golden opportunity to grow, so that he could eventually outmatch his loathsome master.
The dark lord gathered himself a small band of mercenaries to help him in his task, so that he might attend the auction run by Xev Xrexus herself. It did not take much for individuals like Cad Bane, Aurra Sing, Vorhdeilo, and Troo-tril-tek to steal tickets from the Haddrex gang to such a private auction. It was almost frightening how easily these bounty hunters and mercenaries could take lives and brush it off as though it were nothing. That was in fact, why Maul had chosen them specifically. Cruel, efficient and perfect for the task before them.
It was at said auction that things began to unfold in a way Maul never expected. Surrounded by criminals, like the Hutts and Black Sun members, he stood hidden under his dark cloak to look at the hologram that displayed the merchandise. The Jedi padawan was not what he expected. She was a twi'lek, a younger one based on how long her leks were. They barely hung past her shoulders, meaning she was likely a young adult or a later adolescent. She was as beautiful as most of her race's females. Graceful curves and the most striking feature to Maul was the intense stare. Her piercing blue eyes stared in a way that made him thirst with the desire to test her resolve. She had such spirit that it practically begged him to come and break it... He knew he had to meet her before he killed her, so that he could watch that spirit melt before his eyes.
Ignoring the murmurs of admiration, and asking for holograms of the Jedi less clad, Maul began to shoulder his way from the crowd. He did not now that his movement had called Xev's notice toward the young Zabrak. Thankfully she was focused on speaking to one of the members of the Ohnaka gang, and could not stop him.
Thanks to intel Aurra had given Maul before this, he knew exactly where to find the Jedi. Perhaps he was impatient for rushing things, but he could not wait after seeing that hologram. Something about that Jedi brought out the primal spirit within his hearts. As he strode proudly down the hall, Maul slammed his fist into the console at the door. Bane had already hacked the ship with his droid so it responded the way he desired, sliding open the cell door.
A satisfying utterance of surprise met Maul's ears as a sadistic smirk crossed his face. There she was, in all of her graceful beauty. She was a blue pigmented twi'lek, dressed in the simple attire befitting a Jedi padawan, and yet he did not miss the beautiful form that showed pleasant curves in all the right places. Twi'lek females were often sought out for their sensual nature and practical breeding to be playthings. Yet this was no meek twi'lek staring back at him.
Actually, while Maul had taken a moment to study his prey and contemplate how he would make her suffer before he ended her life... the twi'lek acted quickly. Her wrists were cuffed with stun cuffs inside of a box binder to prevent her from using the force, but that hardly stopped the young Jedi from landing a solid kick in the throat of the man who opened the door while her weight rested on her left foot, planted firmly upon the floor.
Maul hardly registered the shock that he was actually distracted long enough by the padawan's appearance for her to actually knock him back and knock the breath from his lips with that strike toward his neck. He let loose only a grunt as he took back a step, trying to react before she could continue her assault. Immediately he reached forward to wrap his red and black fingers against her tender neck, thrusting his arm to pin her against the back of her cell with enough force to return the favor of pressure on her throat.
Satisfaction lit his flaming gaze as he watched her gasp in pain, helpless to defend against his assault. Even a Jedi could do nothing in this situation. He relished the pain contorting her face, but his eyes widened when he realized the gaze staring back at him was not one of fear. But rather, her gaze was one of sheer defiance and determination despite the fact he was literally crushing the breath from her body.
With teeth gritted and a soft hiss, the twi'lek lifted her leg to strike his midsection while flinging her binder against his face to smack the metal into his jaw, forcing him to let go. She would not die here!
Darth Maul was expecting at least some fear in someone young and vulnerable like this, but he was sorely mistaken. His throbbing jaw and ribs were evidence of that. Maul had been kicked away once again, even with his superior stature to this increasingly annoying Jedi.
"Hold, Jedi!" Maul hissed as he lifted up his hand, not to yield but to draw the padawan's lightsaber Cad Bane had acquired for him, lighting the weapon so the tip of the plasma blade was mere inches in front of girl's blue face. The pale blue light of her weapon bathed everything else in that bright and pure coloration. The padawan stopped, her gaze reflecting light as she scrutinized Maul and his intentions with her. He could feel her reaching out with the force, touching his essence slowly to determine what she could about him.
"What do you want from me?" Eldra demanded of Maul, her gaze hard. She sensed much darkness... fear and rage, so much fear and anger that it almost made her want to shirk back from his essence. But rather than pulling away, she drew closer, standing at her full height as she eyed him. "If you are here to kill me, then do it already. And if you're not, then give me my lightsaber and I'll leave."
"I am here for your life, Jedi. You will be mine and beg for what pitiable existence you have, and then I will end it." Maul hissed as his face was split by a manic grin, mind filled with visions of pain and ill intent for her. She was the representation of everything he despised and more. The zabrak let loose a primal growl and grasped her by the front of her robes, not caring if his fingers raked against the tender flesh beneath as he changed the angle of the lightsaber to horizontal so that their faces could be closer than the female may find comfortable.
"You are here for my whim, Jedi. I hold your life in my hands." Maul spoke in a low baritone, turning off the lightsaber as he spoke against her hearing nodule sensually, knowing full well that female twi'leks are practically bred for carnal acts, and that such an action might trigger those repressed genetic memories deep in her lekku. He was gratified by watching the Jedi turn her blue face away from him, finally averting her intense gaze.
"Only the Force knows in who's hands we each lie." The padawan replied, a cheeky grin spreading across her face to reveal her even white teeth as she eyed him, judging his action. She knew she was helpless, and if she wanted to live longer, antagonizing her captors was not the way... yet... he was just so easy to tease that she could not resist it. He may be something dark and abysmal, but she could already tell he was still young, and learning the ways of the Force much like she was.
Maul's eyelid twitched as his jaw set in fury. This bitch... this little impudent padawan...! He could not resist taking hold of her jaw roughly, tempted to crush it in his fury at her lack of fear. Why would she not react the way he desired and recognize him as superior?! He was growling close to her protruding hearing nubs when another voice cut in.
"Excuse me, but what are you doing to the merchandise?" Xev Xrexus stood outside the cell with two guards beside her, blasters drawn and aimed at the cloaked zabrak threateningly. Thankfully Maul had already put away the lightsaber, or he might have been shot on the spot for trying to kill Eldra. Maul's back stiffened as he lowered his growl and quickly put up an act.
"Ah hah, I was just getting a good look at this fine specimen. Her flesh is awfully tender for that of a Jedi. Perhaps she'd be better suited for... other pursuits." Maul insinuated as he lowered his grip on her shirt into a more sexual touch, grabbing and twisting the flesh of her breast through the robe just to enjoy the look of discomfort and the slight flash of fear in Eldra's eyes as she finally shied away from him.
"Well your time to 'study' is over. The auction has been concluded and we'll be taking her to her new master now while I collect my payment. Be a good patron and perhaps bid next time you find yourself thirsting for one of my slaves being auctioned." Xev huffed as she waved at the guards who entered, grabbing the young Jedi and tearing her away from the young Sith lord.
Maul found himself staring after the blue twi'lek, their gazes meeting for a moment as she was removed from the room and the Sith apprentice found himself feeling a strange emptiness with the removal of his prey. How dare they... She was his prey! No one could take her from his grasp... when he wanted something, he took it. And this would be one such occasion.
As the Jedi was taken from his sight, Maul marched forth from the cell. He could hear Bane and the others over the communication link in his left ear. A cruel smirk spread across his dark cheeks as he walked down the hall. Time for him to go wait in the ship while Bane, Sing and Vorhdeilo took care of the winner, Jee Kra and his Moogan crew. He would wait until they brought to him his prize, the Jedi padawan.
It did not take him long to have his prey brought before him. There she was in all of her plain robes, and simple adornments upon her lekku as Aurra shoved the other female before her new master, making the Jedi stumble almost into Maul but falling just short of him. Unable to catch herself because of the binders, the blue twi'lek fell to her face on the floor.
Maul watched her squirm, watched her struggle to her knees before he grabbed one of her sensitive lekku to jerk her to her feet, eliciting a cry of pain. A lek was not something any creature with the sensitive organs wanted other touching unless they were truly trusted. To sever a lek on a twi'lek was guaranteeing a slow and painful end for the poor creature.
"So you are now mine, Jedi. I will kill you." Maul spoke once again, his voice low and threatening as he leaned in close, wanting to see and feel the fear emanate from her. But once again, she turned that firm gaze upon him, her eyes unyielding and defiant even as her upper lip curled in pain by the grip on her right lek.
"Then as I said before, stranger. Do it and be done with it." Eldra retorted, raising her chin proudly before him. She did not fear death and it infuriated Maul. He snarled as he pressed the button to active her lightsaber, causing her to flinch as she felt a searing heat near her hands.
With a deft movement, Maul had sliced through the binders and the shackles, freeing her hands as he deactivated the light saber and released her, shoving the dormant weapon into her chest with disdain. Eldra took the saber in shock, unsure what had changed his tone as he brushed past her, ignoring the Jedi for the moment.
"Wha...? What are you intending?" Eldra demanded, spinning around as she was tempted to draw the weapon and use it against Maul. The slightest of glances from Aurra and Cad in their respective seats warned her from trying anything rash. For now, Eldra hung her saber husk upon her belt and stared at the broad back of her captor.
"Nothing now. When the time comes, you and I will-" Maul was beginning to speak when a large explosion ripped through the air and the power shut off on the shuttle they were on. "What is this?!" Maul demanded of Sing and Bane who had eliminated the crew of Jee Kra. What had they failed to accomplish? He was angry, while steadying himself from the ripple effect of the explosives. The ship was damaged... he could sense it.
"Explosives, nothing we could have done. Someone sabotaged us." Cad Bane explained bluntly while heading out to find and repair the ship before they are caught in a planetary orbit or something worse. Maul was trembling with fury as Aurra also made a tactical retreat from the bridge, leaving Maul alone with the scapegoat for his rage.
"You know they won't just give me up." Eldra spoke solemnly as she stood beside Maul, glancing up at the imposing figure. For all of his rage, the truth beneath it was fear. Maul was little more than a child longing to prove himself a man, but for what? She did not know what his purpose was, but she could not help but probe for the truth in the force.
"They'll not have you. You are mine." Maul retorted with a scoff, his possessive coldness striking a strange cord in Eldra's heart. If she was to be honest, there was a part of her that wanted to belong that seemed drawn to his declaration. Ah, what a foolish thought.
"Am I then? Care to try to convince me of that first?" Eldra taunted the Sith with a smirk across her face as she prepared to defend herself should he retaliate in rage. To her surprise, the rage-monster looked at her with a disgruntled, almost confused stare. He didn't know what to make of this Jedi.
Who did she think she was? She acted like no Jedi he had heard of or seen in his experiences with Sidious. If anything, she was an enigma. What Jedi had the gall to smile like that at a Sith Lord? Did she even know he was a Sith? He had no idea how to react to her casual taunt besides simply staring at her for a moment to gather his thoughts.
"You..." He began, only to be cut off by a terrible shaking of the ship itself. They were caught in some kind of gravitational pull! "Get down, you fool! We're too exposed here!" Maul hissed as he grabbed the petite Jedi and began to drag her from the bridge. He would not allow his prey to be killed so pitifully as a wreck! Another tremor shot through the ship, making Eldra misstep and fall into Maul.
The male shot a scathing glare toward the twi'lek but shook his head, tugging her into the hall with all due haste. They could make it to the escape pods! "What is going on?!" Maul demanded over the comms as he dragged his semi-willing prey with him.
"We're crash landing onto Drazkel's moon! Brace yourself!" Sing shouted in reply to Maul who's eyes widened as he sensed their descent speed increasing. This was not going to be pretty, and all of them risked dying from such a fall!
He had almost made it to the pods when he realized... it was too late. He sensed the moon and found himself taking hold of the Jedi and pinning her to the floor below him. Were it not for the danger of this terrible moment, it would seem far more suggestive than him protecting her life with his own.
Eldra scarce had time to register what was happening as she was thrown into the floor and felt a large body atop hers. For a moment she felt the need to panic, to throw him off. But staring into the golden eyes of her captor, something halted her attempt to escape. And then the floor lurched from beneath them as flames blossomed forth from the tearing seams in the ship. Colors flashed before her eyes as her vision grew dark when her head struck the floor. She could vaguely remember seeing Maul's eyes drifting closed after some rubble struck him in the head, but everything... pain, light and sounds seemed to fade into nothingness...
