Aravis POV
As we listened to Amidala's plan before the battle, I felt a little better, despite the many risks of the strategy. Maybe we could do it, what it really all depended on, was whether or not we could get to the Viceroy.
As we prepared to sneak into the palace, I did not pay much attention to Anakin and what he was being told, he was Qui-Gon's problem, and I needed to concentrate. When we made our attack, all four of us drew our lightsabers and easily fought our way into the palace. When we got to the docking bay, things got a little harder, there were many more bullets being fired, and I only just saw, out of the corner of my eye, Anakin climbing into a fighter. Before long, the bullets stopped, and we were all just headed to the other side of the bay to enter into the inner corridors of the palace. I could only hope that the Gungan diversion was holding strong, the last thing we needed right now were more Droids rallying to our cause. It was the worst thing that could possibly happen, or so I thought.
As we walked toward the doors, I looked back over my shoulder, I could not help but feel a weak sisterly protection for Anakin, I saw him look back at me from the cockpit, when I turned my head back forward, the doors were open, and standing on the other side was the very last person I wanted to see, I would have rather fought a thousand, no, two thousand droids alone than come within ten feet of that monster. My brother, the Sith, Darth Maul.
Both Nimowae and her brother looked back at me, and Obi moved a little bit more in front of me, blocking me from my brothers vision.
"No, ObiWan, don't." I whispered frantically. I attempted to push him out from in front of me, but he wouldnt budge.
"Well handle this." I heard Qui-Gon say, never taking his eyes off of my brother. Then, we all walked forward, removing our robes. The real battle had begun.
Nimowaes POV
We all moved forward, and now that I didnt have my brother hovering over me for this battle, I felt extremely exposed, and sort of missed his protection. But he was with Aravis, and if we all lived through this, thats where I wanted him to stay.
We all drew our lightsabers, and suddenly, as if perfectly timed, all jumped forward. Blue and Green crashed with Red, and without even thinking about it, all of us were parrying, blocking, throwing strokes, only being careful not to hit one another. The double ended lightsaber moved swiftly, and it was only when he kicked both me and Aravis away in a single maneuver that I realized just how much talent we were up against.
It did not take us long to jump back up and continue to fight. The next person to be kicked was Qui-Gon, and I noticed he got up a little slower than he had used to, he was getting older, and I was secretly worried about him, if anything needed to be done in this fight, he and Aravis needed to be protected, and Maul needed to be killed. Then he kicked my brother away, (what was it with him and the kicking?) and I thought, 'Oh you've done it now.' and began to fight harder and faster than I ever had.
When the doors behind Maul opened, I was a little happy to see a much larger area to fight, I didn't understand how he had lasted this long. Four Jedi against one Sith? There was no way he could win, was there?
