Chapter 25

So, yeah, this is the Obi-Wan and Asajj Ventress vs. Darth Maul and Savage Opress. Enjoy

Everything was in terror

The Clone Wars torn apart the galaxy, and now, there is a Sith Lord returned, every strong force wielder, from Dooku to Yoda sensed Maul's return, and that list included Anakin, Ahsoka, Adenan, Yoda, Mace, Dooku, Asajj and Sidious. The entire Galaxy was in risk of collapsing, not literally, but the entire government could crumble right about now, only if another threat is made.

Adenan has been wary about Darth Maul, he has heard of him, and sensing his return concerned him, that is why he was in the Jedi Archives for the last day, he rarely ate, slept, or even walked, he was sitting on the chair, researching almost every sith. Now, his body couldn't take it anymore, his body shut down the earlier night. He started to wake up and heard Obi-Wan behind him

"You finally slept!" Obi-Wan exclaimed

"Sorry master, but I cant afford you getting killed, or anybody for that matter, I was on the lookout for anything suspicious" Adenan told his master

"Come on, Yoda asked us to meet him at Briefing Room R-17" Obi-Wan led Adenan. Who came to the Briefing Room.

"Good to see you it is, see this, you two must" Yoda told both of them when they reached the room

The projector showed up, and it showed Maul tying up a few people, and he was sending a message to Obi-Wan

"Kenobi, you don't know how much I have been waiting for this moment, I have been doing all of this, just for you. Obi-Wan Kenobi, if you don't come to Raydonia, all of the inhabitants will die!" Maul exclaimed, and just as he did, the figures of Anakin, Padmè and Boba suspiciously appeared behind a bush in the picture, and it closed

"I suggest sending a Jedi task force with you!" Mace told Obi-Wan

"No, I will go alone!" Obi-Wan exclaimed

"No! I will come with you master! I don't want you to die, because I sense a trap!" Adenan exclaimed to Obi-Wan

"Ok, I will only take Adenan" Obi-Wan told all of them and left with Adenan

"I doubt he will come back alive, even with one of our best students" Mace told Yoda

"He will, sense a unlikely ally will come to him" Yoda reassured Mace

Meanwhile in Raydonia, the fact was that Anakin and Padmè came for holiday in Raydonia and got rescued by Boba Fett, a response to when Anakin saved Boba's life

"So, Boba, what now?" Anakin asked

"You tell" Boba told Anakin

"Ok" Anakin thought, looking at the signature at Boba's custom Mandalorian armour "We wait, We saw Maul contact Obi-Wan, so we wait for him and Adenan" Anakin told Boba

"Ok, so we wait, what then?" Padmè asked

"We will help if they need it, I fear wrong timing might hinder them" Anakin told them both

Tatooine, Mos Eisley Catina: Asajj Ventress was sitting, waiting for a bounty, and she overheard a conversation

"Woah! A million credits?" One bounty hunter exclaimed "Who is this, Savage Oppress?" The bounty hinter pronounced the name wrong, but Asajj could recognise it

"Don't even think about it boys!" Asajj exclaimed, she took out a holocron with a robotic hand, the one that replaced the hand Adenan chopped off, she stole Savage's details and credits out of the computer and went to Raydonia.

"I have been waiting for you!" Maul told Obi-Wan

"I don't believe I have made you acquaintance" Obi-Wan told Maul

"I am surprised that you could've forgotten me so easily after I killed your master and left you for dead" Maul told Obi-Wan

Adenan growled at that statement and activated his lightsaber, trying to keep his cool, but it was hard considering that Maul's dark presence was a bit to dark for Adenan's midichlorian count of 15,333. His focus was gone back to the conversation as Obi-Wan activated his own lightsaber

"I have defeated you once, I can defeat you again" Obi-Wan angrily said as they started the duel.

"I'm not so certain!" Maul exclaimed

Adenan and Obi-Wan both started attacking Maul furiously, Savage had to help his brother, if Adenan wasn't there, then Savage would come later. He came along and Adenan was jumped, Adenan used a strong force jump to kick Opress a bit, but enough to escape. They both started duelling, the same with Obi-Wan and Maul. Savage jumped to help his brother, Adenan tried to run towards Savage, but then, Obi-Wan was disarmed and hit to unconsciousness. Adenan tried to fend off both of them, and failed, he was disarmed and hit too, now Obi-Wan was taken

"What about the child?" Savage asked

"Leave him and his weapon" Maul instructed Savage as they both left

Their ship lifted up into the air while Ventress hid towards the ship. Adenan woke up instantly at the shocking feel of sparks

"Ugh! Master!" Adenan exclaimed "Master!"

Meanwhile, Adenan continued to shout as Asajj got onto the ship and saw Obi-Wan being interrogated by Maul

"So, any last words, Kenobi!" Maul exclaimed

"Yeah, I like you new legs, they make you look, taller" Obi-Wan complimented

Maul then picked up Obi-Wan and told him "You will suffer like I have, I will make you stay awake long enough to make you feel every cut I give you, it will be beyond excruciating"

"Savage Opress, my old monster, still a monster" Ventress cackled "Who is your friend?"

"A brother" Savage answered

"A brother! Looks half the man you are Savage!" Asajj exclaimed and cackled in the cockpit

"Who is she?" Maul asked

"A witch, she betrayed me!" Savage exclaimed

"Then she will pay!" Maul told Savage as they both went into the cockpit.

Ventress then came to Obi-Wan, and the one Maul and Opress were following were merely an illusion. Ventress woke Obi-Wan up as both Maul and Opress came back and activated their lightsabers, Asajj gave Obi-Wan one

"I want it back!" Asajj exclaimed

"Sure! Red's not my colour!" Obi-Wan assured Asajj as they both fought the brothers.

Asajj and Obi-Wan both fought them, Asajj got easily dominated by Savage, and Obi-Wan often had to guide Adenan's lightsaber to him if they were fighting dangerous enemies, Obi-Wan did the same to Ventress, at the same time, got his own lightsaber from Maul

"Ventress! Catch!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as he threw the second red lightsaber to her, which she caught.

Obi-Wan was duelling Maul with a blue lightsaber now, he jumped up to a corridor upstairs, Maul followed him

"Remember when I killed your master? How did that feel? How? Tell me!" Maul taunted Obi-Wan

"He's alive!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as he charged Maul again, this time with more strength, Obi-Wan realised from the talk about Qui-Gon Jinn that he did not want Adenan to feel the same, saw Ventress escape, he ran with her and locked the door

"What are you doing?" Asajj asked, seeing Obi-Wan clicking buttons of the ship

"Trying to escape!" Obi-Wan exclaimed, sounding like it was an obvious answer, that's when Maul and Opress began using their lightsabers to cut through the door

"Hurry Kenobi!" Asajj exclaimed "Hurry!"

"There!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as he jumped hyperspace for Dragitor "Adenan, are you there, Adenan!"

"Yes master, Anakin, Boba and Padmè rescued me, I am on Dragitor!" The voice from the other end came

"We're there too!" Obi-Wan exclaimed

"We?" Another voice at the other end asked

"Yes, I bought Ventress along Anakin" Obi-Wan told Anakin

"Bring her!" Anakin ordered

They both landed on Dragitor and saw Anakin waiting for them with Adenan. Obi-Wan saw a few wooden houses a few meters, but not too close to the huge Monastary

"Building a town now?" Obi-Wan asked

"Yes, we have good progress here, but only species that reside in the unknown regions stay here. Killiks and all those other species, but they mention one dangerous Yuuzhan Vong, I am still investigating in their dealings. But I made no progress" Anakin told Obi-Wan

"Interesting, now, I want Adenan and a passage to the new SkyTano hyperspace route" Obi-Wan told Anakin

"What about Ventress?" Anakin asked

"I will actually drop her off on your home planet" Obi-Wan told Anakin

"Ok, you have permission, and you will take Ventress to Tatooine" Anakin told them both

"Thank you, that's all I need" Obi-Wan thanked as he left with Adenan to Tatooine, dropped off Ventress, and went to the Jedi Temple
