Aravis POV
I watched my brother flip onto the opposite catwalk (for lack of a better name) and we all followed over, all flipping except Qui-Gon, and I could sense worry from both Nimowae and Obi at the same time. He had stopped hovering around me, all of us immersed in the fight, no-one had any room to concentrate on anything other than keeping themselves and the ones around them alive. (And from being kicked, if at all possible)
For some reason, Maul seemed to be aiming his kicks, or a lot of them anyway, at me. I didnt know if it was because he didnt want to have to kill me, or if he just liked hurting me. I was currently leaning more towards the second one, though
We continued our fight down the catwalk, all of us trying as hard as we could to get good attacks in without being close enough to be kicked, which was the hardest thing Im sure any of us had ever had to do. Im actually quite sure it was the hardest fight any of us had had to fight come to think of it. Suddenly, with a single back kick, ObiWan was kicked over the edge and falling about fifty feet to the catwalk below. All I could hear was Nimowae screaming his name and the sickening crash that I knew had to be ObiWan hitting the platform. I felt her leave my side and I had no choice but to fight on.
Nimowaes POV
When I saw my brother go over the edge, Qui-Gon left my mind for the first time and I could only think of getting down there to help him. Without a second thought, I left the battle and jumped down to the platform where he had landed.
For a moment, I panicked, not seeing him, and then I saw his fingers hanging on for dear life and I ran over to get him. I helped him up and then we both looked up to see that Qui-Gon was the only one fighting. I wondered what had happened to Aravis and then I followed seconds behind my brother as we jumped back up to the catwalk.
Aravis POV
After Nimowae left, only Qui-Gon and I were left fighting. I did not last long before I was, (surprise, surprise) kicked down and left laying. For a moment, I didnt feel like getting up, I had felt some of my ribs crack when he kicked me. Then, I heard two pairs of feet land beside of me. And while one, lighter than the other, so probably Nimowae, ran ahead, the other stayed behind to help me up. I winced as I came up off of the floor, and ran just behind ObiWan, Nimowae ahead of both of us. We caught up quickly, and all slid to a halt when the red security screens came up. Thankfully, one had come up between Maul and Qui-Gon, and there was nothing any of us could do but watch helplessly as Qui-Gon meditated and my brother paced, preparing to continue the fight.
A couple of minutes later, we all redrew our lightsabers and watched as the screens disappeared before us, when ours disappeared, we all bolted forward, not wanting to get caught behind another one. Nimowae and I were running slightly behind Obi, and he made it to the very last screen before he was stopped again, and we made it to the cell behind him, I did not like having a screen between Qui-Gon and us, and much less liked one between us and ObiWan.
We all watched, and I could tell we were all sensing something was coming, and then, my brother made his killing stroke, hitting Qui-Gon in the nose, and then plunging his lightsaber through him. I hated him more than ever right then, and Obis scream of "NO!" only made it worse. I knew that Qui-Gon had been the closest thing to a father that either of them had known, and my brother had taken that away, while we all had no choice but to stand by and watch. Part of me thought for sure that they were all hating my brother and I both, and then the other part of me said 'No, were all hating ourselves.'
Nimowaes POV
When I saw Qui-Gon fall, I wanted to scream, but couldn't. An overwhelming sense of shock came over me, and I could only stand there with my mouth hanging open. I couldn't even bring myself to cry, and it was then that I realized that Obi was turned toward Aravis and I with a look in his eyes that I hadn't ever seen before, and one I didn't want to see now.
He looked at me, and I suddenly knew what he was going to do. The shock left, only to be placed by a frantic feeling that I had to stop him. I shook my head no and started to try to ghost through the screen, then when I couldn't, remembering that my power wouldn't work on such things. Then I did start to cry, Qui-Gon had been bad enough, but 'not my brother, please not my brother'. I was now saying "no, no" over and over again. There had to be some way I could convince him not to go. And then, he looked over at Aravis, and for a moment, I sensed that he wanted to tell her that he loved her, but it was gone as quick as it had come.
"If anything happens to me, take her and go, dont look back."
I looked back and forth between them starting to cry harder.
"You cant leave me!" I suddenly yelled. He only looked at me sadly, and then the screens started to open up one by one behind us and before the one in front of us opened, I felt a shove from the force push us back, and I saw my brother run out to fight the one person I hated more than anything in the world right that moment.
I didnt even have time to scream, and we only made it back to the first cell before the screens closed again, and I was so afraid that once again, we would watch helplessly as someone I loved died.
