Maul was back in almost 2 days. He was showing off the ship he had acquired,
"This ship should be somewhat faster than our old one. And it has a cloaking device in it, much like what my own personal ship had back when I was Sidious's apprentice," Maul told Savage.
"It's very nice brother. How did you get those pirates to agree to give us free passage?" Savage asked.
"Well it was more a live or die choice," Maul answered.
Savage only grunted in response. He turned to pick up the crates of supplies. He picked them up easily and set them down in the corner of the hangar. Being the bigger of the two it was easy work for him.
After the crates had been organized and set Savage went through a corridor to the lobby of the mansion. He noticed that Maul followed him a few minutes later. He turned to find ask him about what his plans had been with Talon.
"Brother… I know your plot against Talon. I know you tried to plan her murder," he said. Maul tried to look dumbfounded,
"Savage what are you talking about? Why want to kill her? She's never done anything against me."
"That's exactly why I'm asking you! I found the paper with multiple murder schemes on it! I know you planned to use flowers and your lousy thief accomplice brought them here, only I killed him and destroyed the flowers. The only thing I cannot figure out is what your motivation is!" Savage shouted. Maul stopped short, he had him.. he just needed to think up something,
"Savage yes I wanted her gone, but only because she was extra luggage, a waste of space. And she was distracting you. The only useful thing she did while she was here was teach you some new maneuvers! That's it!"
Savage growled and snorted like a bull. He knew that Maul was lying. Savage grabbed his lightsaber and ignited it's glow,
"If you refuse to tell me on your own, I'll have to fight it out of you!" he screamed. He lunged at Maul and knocked him down. As he came down for his first blow Maul quickly brought out his defense. The buzzing of light beams crossing could be heard. Maul kicked his foot up, launching Savage off him. Maul jumped up and leapt onto the railing of the staircase and went for an aerial attack on his brother. Savage got up just in time to counter Maul's attack.
"Why won't you tell me?!" he screamed.
Maul gave no response. He just leapt back and ran out the lobby doors, a red blur through the house. Savage followed him. His saber slicing through the doorways and taking items out. He didn't care. He followed his brother's trail. Savage stopped in the garden. He could feel his brother's presence. He circled, looking for any sign of Maul. Savage felt a pressure on his back and then he was on the ground. He might've been bigger, but Maul had more skills. Savage turned and kicked Maul's legs out from under him. He had had enough of being bullied and treated as a child.
"No matter what your reasons, you will not harm her my brother!" Savage shouted.
"I will when I teach you not to disobey your master!" Maul growled.
He struck again at Savage. He was constantly slashing and looking for an opening in Savage's defense. He gripped his hand into a fist and Savage felt his throat become constricted, unable to breathe.
"If she continues to live one day you will leave and I will be left without an ally to rely on! With the Jedi and Sidious on my tail I need any comrade I can get! And who more perfect than my older brother who would die just for an approval from me?!" Maul explained. Savage felt his anger boil up. His free hand curled into a fist and suddenly Maul was the one unable to breathe. Savage fell to the ground, landing on his feet. He dropped his brother to the ground, gathered up all his strength and went for one last attack on Maul.
He heard his blade be stopped by another saber. Savaged growled. He gathered all his force strength and used it to propel his brother into a tree. Just as he was about to release it Maul stabbed him through the side of his abdomen. Savage yelped, but quickly released all his energy. He watched Maul slam into a tree and fall unconscious under it. Savage looked closer. He had fallen on top of the flower… crushing it. Looking at it gave Savage the shivers. He limped inside the mansion to the hangar, leaving a trail of blood as he did. He got to the new ship and fired it's engines up. He put in the coordinates he had gotten from the tracking droid. The ship lifted out of the hangar and shot off towards Naboo. Savage put it into high gear hyperspace and collapsed on the floor.
