Chapter 46

So much had happened since he was betrayed by Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress.

Savage Oppress had spent much of his time after Dooku betrayed him searching for his brother. After leaving Dathomir, he went in search for his brother. He had gone to many different places, and seemed to be growing stronger with each passing day, and after an altercation in a diner on Stobar, he finally found a clue.

There was dust on a freighter on Stobar that caused the amulet Mother Talzin had given him to glow indicating that the dust was a clue. So after he traced the origin of the freighter back to Lotho Minor, he forced the captain of the freighter to take him there. Once arriving on the planet, Savage began to search for his brother.

On the planet, he encountered an Anacondan who offered him guidance, but betrayed him in the end. The Anacondan led him to a lodge that Savage immediately knew was where his brother was located because his amulet flared to life. The Anacondan then plunged him down a chute into the underworld of Lotho Minor where he found his brother.

His brother, Darth Maul, seemed to have gone insane and was a centauroid half-spider cyborg. Savage figured that was how he survived after the Jedi killed him. Maul sought revenge especially against a particular Jedi; one by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In order to guarantee revenge, though, Savage knew he needed to get his brother back from his insanity, help him regain the rest of his memory and do what he can to heal him. So they traveled toward Dathomir, unaware of what occurred there, to seek help from Mother Talzin.

The stolen freighter journeyed toward the red planet of Dathomir. Savage was in the cockpit listening to his brother's insane shrieks in the back of the ship. "Patience, brother, we're almost home," he said though he was unsure if Maul heard him or not.

He guided the freighter into the atmosphere of Dathomir before landing it near the Nightsister's Temple. Once the ship had landed, Savage made his way into the back of the ship to get his brother. "Brother," he called.

"Kenobi, Kenobi," Maul was muttering to himself.

"Brother, we have to go," said Savage.

"Kenobi," Maul muttered and began to murmur other words that Savage could not understand while at the same time using the Force to move the crates to hide himself from Savage's look.

"Fine, stay here," Savage muttered before he made his way to the boarding ramp and walked down it before looking around for Talzin.

The surface of Dathomir was not the same as it was when Savage last walked on it. It was covered with bodies of dead Nightsisters as well as the remains of decimated droids. Nearby was a ship where super battle droids hung inactive. It was also eerily quiet; as silent as a tomb.

It was then that the green smoke drifted around him; he watched it go turning around as it moved around him before condensing into the form of Mother Talzin. "Savage," Talzin said.

"Mother," Savage replied bowing.

"Shall we?" Talzin asked gesturing to the freighter.

"What happened here?" Savage asked getting to his feet and falling into step beside the leader of the Nightsister. "Where are the rest of the sisters?"

"Dooku sent his minions to destroy us," Talzin said. "But we will survive. We always have."

They neared the freighter and Savage could hear his brother's cries from within the ship.

"You found him. I knew you would," Talzin said.

"Yes, he is damaged," Savage admitted. "He doesn't remember much of his old life."

"But he does remember something," Talzin said making her way up the ramp a little.

"Something or someone," the Dathomirian Zabrak said following Talzin up the ramp. "Kenobi. It is an obsession."

Talzin, gazing at Maul, conjured up a bright green light in her hands. "Come, let us fix what has been broken," she said before she sent it flying toward the former Sith Lord. "Come to me, come to me. Follow me, son of Dathomir. Follow me, lost one. Come, child of Dathomir." Maul followed the ball of green light pushing past crates in order to try to grab the ball of light.

"Follow me," Talzin said as she turned around and made her way down from the ramp; Savage followed her and Maul hurried after them still trying to grab the ball of light.

Once they were within the temple, the ball of light guided Maul onto the stone table before he was put to sleep by a simple touch of Talzin's fingers. He landed on his back and his spider legs began to break apart from his body.

"Now what?" Savage asked.

"Now we begin," Talzin said.

Savage watched as Talzin, muttering spells and conjuring up green mist, touched one hand on either side of Maul's head. It looked like a complicated procedure and the only thing Savage understood was that Talzin was taking away Maul's insanity. She then began to use her magic to create new legs for Maul and, once that was done, Savage moved forward to stand beside the table as Talzin woke Maul up.

"Arise, Maul, reborn son of Dathomir," Talzin said.

Maul's eyes snapped open.

"Brother?" Savage said warily as Talzin disappeared before wincing when Maul grabbed his chin hard.

"Brother," Maul said releasing Savage. He rubbed his head before sitting up and examining his legs.

"My legs?" Maul said.

"They've been restored by Mother Talzin," said Savage.

"It has been so long and my path has been so dark," Maul said touching his legs. "Darker than I ever dreamed it could be."

"But you survived," Savage said as Maul attempted to stand up but collapsed. He tried again and managed to get onto his feet but it took a couple more tries before he could walk.

"Of course I survived," he said getting used to his new legs quickly to where he took off running and Savage dashed after him.

Maul came to a stop with a scream of rage as Savage stopped behind him. "My hatred kept my spirit in tact while my body was not," he said. "Yet I also became a rabid animal and thus is how you found me, brother, discarded, forgotten." He turned to look at Savage as he spoke.

"I have missed so much," he added turning his gaze away from Savage. "The Force feels out of balance."

"Yes, there is conflict," said Savage, "The Clone Wars."

"Ah yes," Maul said, "so it began without me."

Savage unclipped the extra lightsaber he had with him. "You can begin again, brother," he said holding out the lightsaber.

Maul held out a hand and called the lightsaber to his hand with the Force. "I was apprenticed to the most powerful being in the galaxy once," he said. "I was destined to become so much. But I was robbed of that destiny by the Jedi, by Obi-Wan Kenobi."

"Then you must have your revenge, my brother," said Savage.

"Yes, we shall start with revenge," Maul said coolly.

The freighter glided out of hyperspace toward the planet of Raydonia and Savage guided the ship past the crimson clouds. He landed the ship amidst the flora and fauna that covered Raydonia's surface before he and Maul made their way toward the boarding ramp before lowering it to the ground.

"Brother, what are we doing here?" Savage asked. "The Jedi won't be out this far in the galaxy."

"In a galaxy at war, Savage, there is only one way to get the attention of the Jedi; slaughtering the innocent mercilessly and without compromise," Maul said as the ramp finished lowering to the ground.

He unclipped his lightsaber before igniting it.

Siri watched Barriss run her fingers over her growing belly. Five months pregnant, Siri was already showing though her belly wasn't that large. However, it was noticeable to where Siri decided to start wearing loose-fitting clothing so that no one would become suspicious or more suspicious than they already were. Siri's mood swings weren't as violent as they were during the first four months of her pregnancy but she still had morning sickness every now and then.

She hoped that no one would figure it out. She and Obi-Wan had decided to keep the baby when it was born although they were unsure of what they could do to prevent the Jedi Council from discovering the truth. Obi-Wan told her that they would figure things out and that they still had time to decide on a course of action.

"It looks like everything is going all right, Siri," Barriss said withdrawing from her meditation to look at the Jedi Knight. "It looks like you'll be due in four months. I suggest keep coming by at least once a week, Siri."

Siri nodded. "So I'm done here?" she asked.

Barriss nodded. "Yes."

Siri got to her feet and, thanking the Mirilian Jedi, made her way out of the medical cubicle and out of the Hall of Healing. She walked down the hallway toward her apartment but, at the last instant, veered off course to Obi-Wan's apartment. When she reached it, she knocked on the door and waited.

The door opened to reveal Jenica. The dark-haired apprentice, who had been Siri's temporary apprentice during Obi-Wan's undercover mission, inclined her head in greeting. "Master Tachi, what brings you here?" she asked.

"I was wondering if Obi-Wan was here," Siri replied.

"Come on in."

Siri made her way into the room before smiling as Obi-Wan walked over to join her. "Obi-Wan," she greeted him.

"Siri," Obi-Wan replied. "What brings you here?"

Siri flicked her eyes briefly to Jenica since she and Obi-Wan hadn't yet told her. Obi-Wan was considering it but Siri wasn't sure she wanted the young Padawan to know the truth. Obi-Wan nodded slightly in understanding. "Jenica, will you excuse us?" he said politely.

Jenica looked like she was about to protest but thought better about it and merely nodded. "I'll go find Ahsoka," she said before she inclined her head to Siri and left the apartment.

"We can't keep this from her forever, Siri," Obi-Wan said once the apartment door had closed. He wrapped an arm around Siri and she rested her head on her husband's chest.

"I know and I know you want to tell her but I…I just don't think it's a good idea," she said lifting her head to look at Obi-Wan.

"Why not?"

"I just…"

"You don't trust her enough with this yet."

Siri narrowed her eyes because that had been what she was thinking. "Stop reading my mind," she said sternly.

Obi-Wan's eyes danced with mirth. "My apologies," he said. "But that thought just slipped into my mind."

Siri sighed. "I keep forgetting how strong our bond is," she said.

"We rarely notice it anymore, Siri, since we've gotten so used to it. We only seem to notice it when something like that happens."

"True. I just got back from my visit with Barriss. Everything looks all right. She said I was due in four months."

Obi-Wan nodded and Siri wrapped her arms around him. "Have you thought of any names, Obi-Wan?" she asked.

Obi-Wan was silent. "If it's a boy then I would like to name him after Qui-Gon," he said.

"I don't mind that," Siri said. "So if it's a boy, we name him Qui-Gon?"

"I was thinking more of Jinn."

"I like it. And if it's a girl?"

"Do you have any ideas?"

Siri was silent eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Well, I think Kira is a pretty name," she said, "I also like Nikana."

"Well, I guess we have four months to think about it," Obi-Wan said.

Siri nodded in reply.

Obi-Wan released her before stepping back a little as the door opened and Jenica made her way into the room. "Master," she said. "Master Windu and Master Yoda wish to see you."

Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed. "Very well, thank you Jenica," he said before he looked at Siri. "I guess we will have to forego that sparring match you wanted, Siri."

Siri smiled. Good cover, she thought.

Thank you, she heard Obi-Wan say in her mind and she chuckled inwardly. "Maybe tomorrow," she said.

Obi-Wan nodded before leaving the apartment.

Obi-Wan gritted his teeth as he watched the holograms of the terrified Raydonians that Maul was holding as his prisoners. Maul walked in front of them making sure they were in a straight line before he began to speak.

"There will be more innocent blood on your hands, Kenobi," Maul said, "unless you come here, face me. Come alone and if you do not this world will burn." He let his lightsaber sail through the necks of the prisoners and Obi-Wan winced; it was not easy watching that the first time and it was definitely not easier to watch it happen a second time around.

"I have to go," he murmured.

"Not alone, you're not. We'll send a task force with you," Mace said.

The first time around, Obi-Wan did not want a Jedi task force to go with him and the results hadn't been that great. However, if he had a Jedi task force with him then he might have a chance at defeating Maul and Savage and that would prevent Adi Gallia's death. Asajj Ventress had showed up too and Obi-Wan couldn't help but wonder if she would show up again this time around.

"I have an idea," he said. "I will go alone but with the task force nearby. I am pretty sure Maul will hurt more innocents even if I did go alone. But we need to make it seem as though I am alone. I also don't think we should take too many with us. The smaller the task force, the more like Maul will not know they are there."

Mace looked thoughtful. "It is a good idea, Obi-Wan," he said.

Yoda narrowed his eyes as he moved over to join them. Occur before, this has? He asked through the Force.

Yes and it did not necessarily go as I thought it would. Mace was right, it was a trap and, even with help, I was unable to defeat him, Obi-Wan sent back. With a task force, I stand a better chance at capturing Maul.

Succeed in finishing what you started last time, did you?

Obi-Wan remembered what happened the first time around. No, he thought.

"Agree with this plan, I do," Yoda said out loud. "But only one Jedi, go with you he will, Obi-Wan."

"I will go with Obi-Wan, Master Yoda," Mace said.

Yoda nodded. "Very well. May the Force be with you," he said.

The two nodded before they turned around and left the room.

Ventress watched as the image of Savage Oppress appeared on the holovision before she put her drink on the table next to the chair she was sitting in. "Don't even consider it boys," she said finishing filing her nails and standing up. "I've got this one."

She walked over to the holovision before transferring the information, and the reward amount, onto her comlink. Then she tucked the comlink away, turned around and left the cantina.

Obi-Wan guided the Jedi shuttle through the lanes of hyperspace mentally attempting to prepare himself for what was going to happen next. Mace sat at his side silent for a long moment. "Capturing Maul is important," he said, "but we must not underestimate him."

"I know," Obi-Wan said. "That hologram clearly suggests that Maul is different than he was when I first faced him. He is more a monster than anything. So, I think the plan should be that I go face him alone and then you come in if things start going downhill. I have defeated him before and I feel that I can defeat him again."

"I will be nearby if you need help," Mace assured him.

And, if things go like last time, Ventress will probably be there. Whether she'll intervene or not with both Mace and I there, I do not know, Obi-Wan thought.

He guided the shuttle out of hyperspace and toward Raydonia trying not to think about the innocent lives that were lost on the planet's surface. The shuttle sank below the atmosphere of Raydonia and Obi-Wan landed it before shutting down the main engines.

He stood up before making his way out of the ship; Mace followed him but did not leave the shuttle right away. Obi-Wan walked down the main street of the city shaking his head sadly at the deserted, burning city with smoke coiling into the sky at the other end of the city.

"Jedi!" Maul's voice snarled and Obi-Wan turned his gaze upward as the Zabrak Sith Lord as he appeared on top of the debris, parts of which were on fire, in front of him. "I have been waiting for you."

"Sorry to be so late, Maul," Obi-Wan said calmly.

"So you have not forgotten me," Maul stated matter-of-factly.

"It is difficult to forget the monster who murdered my master."

"I have not forgotten you either," said Maul. "You cannot imagine the depths I would go to, to stay alive fueled by my singular hatred for you."

"Be that as it may but I have defeated you before, I can do it again," Obi-Wan said igniting his lightsaber before sending a warning nudge through the Force to Mace as he fell into the Soresu ready stance.

Maul laughed. "Don't be so certain," he snarled.

Savage jumped down behind him and Obi-Wan whirled around before blocking the aimed blow. Savage was vicious in his attacks and Obi-Wan, gritting his teeth, struggled to fend off the attacks as Maul leapt down from the debris.

Obi-Wan didn't bother glancing at Maul as Savage slammed another vicious blow into his lightsaber. The blow was strong enough to send Obi-Wan flying but, thankfully, that's when he heard another lightsaber ignite.

Mace, purple lightsaber in hand, leapt downward from the building he had been standing on and nearly landed a hit on Savage had he not quickly brought his lightsaber up to block the attack.

Obi-Wan flipped to his feet before turning around as Maul snarled in fury. "Well, looks like we're even now, Maul," he said.

Maul glared furiously at him. "I would have thought you would not bring help for fear that I would go through with my threat," he snarled.

"I already knew you would go through with your threat whether I came alone or not, Maul."

Maul ignited his lightsaber before, with a scream of rage, slashing viciously toward Obi-Wan's side but he blocked it and quickly blocked the several rage-fueled attacks that Maul launched at him next.

Ventress guided her starship toward the planet of Raydonia having found out where Savage was located when news of the massacre on Raydonia came to her. She flew past the clouds and landed in a portion of the jungle. She cut power to the main engines before leaving the ship and began making her way toward where she could sense Savage's presence.

She leapt through the forest before nearing the city and it was when she reached the outskirts of the city that she felt Kenobi's familiar presence along with the presence of another Jedi. She narrowed her eyes before leaping on top of one of the buildings and running along them to get a better view of what was going on.

She spotted Kenobi fighting against a red-skinned Dathomirian Zabrak while the dark-skinned Jedi Master, Mace Windu, fought against Savage. She narrowed her eyes. I will have my revenge against Savage, she thought, but they seem to be holding their own and I very much doubt the Jedi will take too kindly to me interrupting them.

She sensed the darkness that raged around the red-skinned Zabrak and she realized that it was that darkness, the rage and hatred that Zabrak was feeling, that was fueling his attacks. Even though Kenobi was rather skillful with a lightsaber, something Ventress reluctantly admitted, she doubted he would last long against the Zabrak. It was possible she just doubted his abilities but nevertheless, she stayed and watched for the opportunity might come and she was not going to lose it.

Maul's attacks were relentless. It seemed that every time Obi-Wan blocked an attack or parried one away, Maul was already launching another attack. His hatred, and the years that it has been cumulating, made his attacks more powerful. He was using his hatred to help him in that fight and Obi-Wan knew it.

Mace was busy fighting Savage who seemed stronger than he was when Obi-Wan and Anakin fought him on Toydaria months earlier. However, Mace wasn't considered the best fighter in the Order for nothing; Obi-Wan was pretty sure the only one who could beat Mace in a fair duel was Yoda.

Nevertheless, he was still hard-pressed to defend himself against Savage's ruthless assault.

Maul's blade sliced toward Obi-Wan's arm but he dodged the blow and blocked another one aimed at his side. Maul's eyes flashed with fury before he unleashed a series of rapid blows one after another that drove Obi-Wan backwards and disarmed him. A Force-push sent him flying into the ground and then Maul had him pinned to the ground lightsaber pressed against his throat.

"Still as weak as ever," he sneered. "And they call you master."

Obi-Wan kicked out before lashing out with the Force at the same time and Maul was sent flying backwards. "You know, when I cut you in half, I really should have aimed for your neck," he said.

Savage snarled at those words but he was too busy fighting Mace to do anything about it.

Maul, snarling in fury, leapt at him again before slashing downward. Obi-Wan rolled out of the way before calling his lightsaber to his hand just in time to block another attack. Maul unleashed yet another series of attacks eyes flaring with rage.

"Anything more you have to say?" he asked angrily as he managed to knock Obi-Wan down yet again.

"I like your new legs. They make you look taller," Obi-Wan said flipping to his feet and slashing toward Maul's chest but he blocked the blow and sent another Force push flying at Obi-Wan who, similar to the way he caught Anakin's Force push on Mustafar, caught it and the two of them were sent flying in opposite directions.

Obi-Wan winced as his back slammed into the wall of one of the destroyed buildings before he fell to one knee. He pushed himself up as Maul, shaking his head, also got up and dashed toward him.

Obi-Wan dodged out of the way to avoid the attack before slashing toward Maul's side but he dodged out of the way and thrust his blade toward the Jedi Master who parried the blow. The next attack, Obi-Wan also blocked and their blades locked together in a bladelock.

"Your Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. I gutted him while you stood helpless and watched," Maul said coolly, mockingly, pushing forward but Obi-Wan held his ground. He knew what Maul was trying to do and he was trying his best to not let the Sith Lord's words get to him as they had last time. "How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan gritted his teeth. No, I will not let his words get to me, he told himself firmly taking a deep breath before releasing his anger into the Force. He knew his anger would unhinge him and allow Maul to get the upper hand.

He did not answer Maul's question as he broke the bladelock and thrust his blade toward Maul's side. Maul was quick though and managed to block the blow before he launched a counterattack that had Obi-Wan on the defensive instantly.

Mace was holding his own against Savage though the monster was strong and powerful in the dark side of the Force. His attacks were vicious to where no novice could stand a chance against them. Mace was not a novice and he was able to block and counter many of the attacks Savage launched at him. Vaapad certainly helped him.

Savage was looking frustrated as none of his attacks were getting past Mace's defenses. "Brother, I do believe we are outmatched," he called.

"I will not run like a coward," Maul snarled slashing downward toward Obi-Wan's head but he blocked the blow and Force-pushed Maul away.

Mace and Obi-Wan found themselves fighting back to back as Savage and Maul attacked them again. "We're evenly matched," Mace said to Obi-Wan blocking a thrust aimed at his thigh before catching a slash Savage launched toward his head.

"Yes and we are at a stalemate," Obi-Wan said. "Wouldn't it be nice if we had extra help just suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

Mace narrowed his eyes. Obi-Wan's tone suggested that his question was a rhetorical one and he did not expect an answer. He and Obi-Wan were separated again in the thick of the fight and a single Force push sent Obi-Wan flying into the wall again. Mace dodged out of the way to avoid Savage's Force push before he launched one of his own that sent Savage flying.

"They are too strong for us, Brother," Savage shouted.

"I do not run from fights," Maul snapped back before he lashed out with the force again and Obi-Wan again caught the Force push as he had earlier in the duel. However, just like earlier, they were both sent flying in opposite directions.

Savage's eyes were flaring with fury and dread. He knew they were outmatched but it was obvious he had no desire to run and leave Maul to fight two Jedi off by himself. There was such loyalty between Savage and his brother that it surprised Mace a little. He pushed that thought away and fell back into Vaapad to catch the furious attacks Savage launched at him.

Obi-Wan, a little disoriented from his collision with the wall for the third time, barely dodged a thrust aimed at his shoulder but Maul retracted the thrust and swung the blade. The crimson blade nearly took Obi-Wan's arm but, in a quick, last minute dodge, the blade was avoided. The next attack, however, was not.

Fiery pain shot down Obi-Wan's arm as Maul's blade sank into his shoulder and he, gritting his teeth and struggling to release the pain into the Force, barely managed to avoid the next thrust although the Force push took him by surprise and he was sent flying into the debris. Maul seemed to favor the Force push since he had used it several times in the course of the fight.

Obi-Wan pushed himself to his feet doing his best to ignore the pain in his shoulder. He then leapt at Maul who dodged his attack and a Force push, he really did seem to favor that, sent him flying into Mace taking both Jedi Masters down.

Obi-Wan got up and quickly blocked the blow that Savage thrust at him while Mace, also getting up, caught Maul's attack. They were suddenly facing different enemies; the duel had turned everything around. Savage was just as ruthless as he was when Obi-Wan and Anakin fought him last. The four combatants were still at a stalemate to where no one seemed able to get an advantage over their enemy.

This would a pretty good time for Ventress to intervene, Obi-Wan thought.

Ventress was getting irritated with the fight she was watching. Kenobi was holding his own despite having been wounded but Savage and his friend didn't seem to know when to give up. Several times, they could have decided there was no point in continuing a duel they could not win and fled but they didn't.

She wasn't sure what to make of Savage's friend. He was just as monstrous, if not more so, than Savage and he seemed to be concentrating most of his attacks on Kenobi. He certainly does not like you, Kenobi, Ventress thought before she shook her head.

Apparently, the two Jedi needed help even if she doubted they would ever admit it. Besides, Savage had a large bounty on his head and Ventress was overdue for some revenge against her former servant. She would simply kill two birds with one stone; have revenge and get the million credit bounty.

"What a surprise," she called down causing all four combatants to freeze and turn their gazes upward as she stood up with a smirk. "My former servant still an animal and you have a friend now."

Savage growled. "My brother," he said angrily.

Ventress laughed. "A brother? It looks like he's half the man you are, Savage. How unfortunate. I was looking for a challenge not some wretched castoffs from the Nightbrothers' clan. What a disappointment."

Windu looked at Kenobi but said nothing.

"Who is this, brother?" Maul demanded.

"A Dathomir witch. She betrayed me," Savage said.

Ventress snorted. "It's the other way around, Savage, in case you forgot," she snarled before she ignited her lightsabers and immediately leapt down slashing toward Savage and forcing the Zabrak on the defensive to block the attack.

"Well, it's about time," Obi-Wan called to Ventress.

"I, for one, thought you could handle it yourself, Kenobi," Ventress retorted blocking an attack aimed at her side.

"Oh and miss out on seeing such a lovely sight," Obi-Wan said sarcastically with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face

"Cute. You're not exactly that great looking either, Kenobi."

"This really isn't the time nor the place," Mace said.

With Ventress on their side, they quickly gained the upper hand against Maul and Savage and the two Zabraks knew it. Maul, eyes flashing with fury, dodged a slash aimed at his side before dashing backwards several steps.

"This is not over, Kenobi," he shouted. "Come, brother, let's go."

Savage didn't bother on arguing; he was facing both Ventress and Mace. He merely lashed out in a Force push that sent Ventress and Mace skidding backwards a few yards before he dashed away and Maul, flipping over the group, dashed after him.

Obi-Wan, breathless, watched as the freighter lifted into the air and flew rapidly toward and through the atmosphere of Raydonia. Ventress snarled in fury. "I am not losing out on that bounty on your head, Savage, and I will have my revenge," she shouted angrily even though Savage couldn't hear her.

"You know he will be going after you," Obi-Wan pointed out.

"I know," Ventress said, "and I will be prepared when he does come looking for me." Without waiting for Obi-Wan to reply, she dashed off disappearing into the jungle.

Mace deactivated his lightsaber before looking at Obi-Wan. "You knew she was there all along, didn't you?" he asked.

"I sensed her presence," Obi-Wan lied hoping Mace didn't sense it.

Mace either didn't sense he was lying or didn't acknowledge it. "Come, we should get you to a medbay and get that wound looked at," he said.

Obi-Wan grimaced, he really did not like the medbay, but he nodded and headed toward the Jedi shuttle with Mace at his side.

Savage gazed at the starlines that flashed past before he turned his gaze to his brother who was also watching the mottled lanes of hyperspace a contemplative look in his eyes. "What do we do know, brother?" he asked.

"We will be patient, Savage," Maul said. "I have waited so many years for my revenge. I can wait a little longer."

Savage frowned. "But the Jedi will know that you have survived. They'll be coming for us," he protested.

Maul's eyes held a calculating but feral gleam in their depths as if he was already putting together the pieces of a plan. "I am counting on it," he said.
