A/N – Thanks to all who have reviewed (although it seems to be mostly Sweetdeath04…10 of 13!). I hope you all enjoyed the start of the duel, and now it continues…
Darth Maul spun his lightsaber in a blur of red, so fast that Inhered could barely make out the man behind it. He thrust his own blade into the spinning blur and swung down again to stop Maul's second blade from amputating his legs, but again, without time to attack, he had to lift his blade to block yet another blow.
Wow! Who is this guy, and how can he move so fast? I've only ever seen Master Yoda move faster.
He backed down the corridor pursued by Maul blocking and dodging the constant blows from the amazing weapon he had never seen the likes of before. He had no idea where the corridor led but he hoped he would get a chance to attack before he found out.
As they fought down the corridor, Inhered saw five security droids coming from where they had just been. Yes, he thought, this was his chance to attack. When the droids began their attack, it would be the stranger who would get caught in the blaster fire.
When the droids got a bit closer they raised the blasters which they were carrying and started to shoot down the corridor. No sooner than they had started, Maul was on them. Inhered was so stunned at how fast he had jumped back and decimated the droids, that he didn't get the time to attack as he had planned and now, like at the start of their battle, there was a space between them and like before, the space got very small, very fast.
Inhered had, so far, been able to hold off the attack, but he was beginning to tire and he didn't think that he could keep this up for much longer. They turned a corner and went through another doorway. Somehow, without realizing it, they had made their way to the hanger where Inhered's ship was. Another chance, he thought, as he headed for his ship.
Suddenly, Maul broke off the relentless attack and stepped back, his plan had worked, they were now in the hanger and the Jedi was heading to his ship. This Jedi was a good fighter, he thought, but he would have no chance when they got into space.
Inhered didn't stop to think why the man, who could only be a Sith, had stopped the attack. He just turned and ran to his ship. There were no other ships in the hanger except droid starfighters, which had no space for a pilot, and maintenance ships, which had no weapons. The Sith could not, or would not, follow him.
As he quickly closed the hatch, a haze appeared in front of his ship and within a second of the haze appearing it had changed into a ship. It must have been cloaked, Inhered thought, but he started the engines and took off quickly. On the way out of the hanger he scanned the ship which had appeared and found it to be lacking in any serious weapons and it had little or no shields. This would be easy.
A/N – Sorry for the duel not being as long as you (and I) would have liked it but they are actually quite hard to write. Any tips on writing fights would be appreciated- PM me.
