Talon packed up what belongs she had that were absolutely necessary. She looked at Savage. He was still passed out on her couch, practically falling off it. She tensed up. She needed him to wake up quickly. She could feel Maul's dark presence entering the planet's atmosphere. Talon walked to her front door. She waved her hand over the electric lock. It wouldn't stop Maul for long if he found them, but it helped Talon feel a little bit safer.

She walked over to Savage and tried to shake him awake,

"Savage. Savage! We need to get moving now! Maul is almost here to Naboo! Savage!"

It was no use. Savage was so passed out from his wounds. Talon paced back and forth. She went to her HoloViewer,

"Hello. Yes, I need an express service to deliver a few bags to the Nar Shaddaa SpacePort. And I need them to stay there until I arrive." Talon told the clerk.

"Alright who's name should they go under?" the clerk asked.

"Put them under, Charlotta. Excuse me but I have some other business to attend to. Thank you." And Talon hung up. She looked at Savage again. She really needed him to wake up, she could sense Maul's landing on the planet. It wouldn't be long before he followed their Force sensitivity to her apartment. I have to at least ensure Savage has a fighting chance to escape Talon thought, If it's a fight Maul wants, it's a fight he'll get. Talon sat on the floor of her apartment and closed her eyes. She focused on Force concealment from others. She slowly felt an invisible drape over her body. She focused on concealing others. She visualized the drape over her body falling on to Savage. Slowly the invisible blanket was lifted from her body and in her mind's eye she saw it fall onto Savage. She opened her eyes and reached out with the Force for Savage's sensitivity to it. Nothing. Good that means it worked. He'll be mentally invisible. Talon got up and changed into her battle clothes. She exchanged her white shirt for the black leather bandeau and black sash. Her wedge heels were stuffed into a bag and in their place was her thigh high black boots. She slipped her gloves on. It was almost a comfort to have her old clothes back on. Last but finally she found her saber hilt and clipped it to her belt.

Talon went up to the rooftop of the building and waited for the arrival of Darth Maul.

Maul exited his ship. He saw the fear of the people who saw them. He felt their fear radiate form them like a heater. They all retreated into buildings, ships, shops, whatever they could hide in. No one came out to oppose him, not even police or rangers. Hmm.. Republic must've sent out that I'm too skilled for the likes of them. He jumped up onto the rooftop of a building. In the distance he saw a red figure. He disappeared into the shadows for a surprise attack. How odd that only she is challenging me. Where is my blasted brother? They must be planning a double surprise attack on me. Well she won't get the chance to signal him! He thought. He sped forward with more motivation. Maul leapt up the wall to come standing with her.

"Ah so you've finally found me? Took you long enough. After all I'd researched about you I would've thought you'd have found me before now. Guess your not the warrior everyone thinks." Talon taunted him.

"It's always about you isn't it? No, woman. Actually you were one of the last things on my mind. The only reason I've found you now is because you lured my blasted brother from me!" Maul retorted.

"Ah such a petty little Zabrak you are. You think you're such a big shot because you were Sidious's little pet!" Talon said with a laugh. Maul roared and lunged at her. Talon ignited her lightsaber and caught his attack with one hand.

"Hahaha! You're so easy to see through!" she taunted. Maul made no reply and pushed harder against her defense. He flicked his wrist and changed his angle. He flipped back and came in for a side attack. Talon turned and used both hands to hold her saber to block his attack. Time to show this idiot what I'm made of! Talon thought. She flipped over his head and tried to slice her blade through his side. Maul turned his body to counter her attack. Talon kicked his leg out from under him. Maul dropped to one knee. She held her light saber from his throat. Just as she was about to decapitate him he forced her off the side of the building. Maul heard her hit a dumpster. He looked over the side of the building.

"What the?! Where is she?" he roared. Talon had disappeared from the dumpster.

"Looking for me?"

Maul turned Talon had a smirk on her face. She lunged at him for another attack. He moved out of her way pretty quickly but the end of her saber grazed his arm. Maul roared and ran at her. Talon jumped to another rooftop taunting him to follow her, and he did. She lured him away from Savage.

"I hope I'm impressing you in the tiniest bit dearest Maul!" Talon laugh. She quickly turned and raised her hand. Suddenly Maul was shocked and electrocuted. He yelped and gasped for air, trying to make the pain stop. Talon laughed increased her hold on him. Maul felt his anger broiling up. He screamed and Force-Pushed every object around him away. Talon was smashed into a wall. Before she had a chance to get up Maul had her by the throat. He carried her up into the air with the Force and attempted to squeeze the life out of her. Suddenly his grip was gone from her throat. Maul was knocked onto his side and was staring up at the fearsome figure of his brother.

Savage stood staring down at him growling in the back of his throat.

"I already beat you once brother. I can do it again!" Savage shouted. He reached down and picked his brother up the collar and threw him down an alley way. Savage rushed over to check Talon who had smashed to the ground when Maul's concentration broke.

"Are you okay Talon?" Savage asked, concerned, "Is the baby ok?!"

Talon looked up at him,

"We're fine… Just weak… Defeat…Maul…"

And Talon passed out. Savage roared with anger, how dare his brother harm her! How dare Maul attempt to end her and his child's life!

"You will pay Maul!" Savaged roared. Savage leapt down into the alley with his lightsaber ready.

"Brother I know you are down here. I can feel your anger." Savage called into the darkness.

"You were suppose to forget about her! You were suppose to stay by my side as my apprentice!" Maul roared. He leapt out from a rail above. Before his blade could come near his head Savage reached up and flung his brother down in front of him. Maul landed on his feet and advanced to Savage making quick slashes at his defense. Savage pushed him out onto the streets and battled him there in the opening.

They attacked each other with ferocity. You couldn't tell who was going to win. Maul was cunning and tactic, Savage strong and a quick learner. Savage always had a new move up his sleeve, with Maul always having a counter attack.

"How I could forget her?! She saw the real me! She never tried to force me to her will!" Savage screamed to his brother.

"But I'm your brother! Brother's stick together! Always!" Maul retorted to him.

"Brothers also don't subject each other lower than one another!" Savaged shouted.

"Maybe not, but you're too hot headed to see opportunities! You destroy everything!" Maul threw back. That was the end of the conversation. Savage tried to Force Push his brother away. But before he could execute his move Maul had him in a force choke. Before the lights went out for Savage, Maul was electrocuted from behind. He yelped and fell to the ground unconscious. Savage fell to the ground. He gasped for air and sat there heaving and panting. Talon rushed over. She placed a hand over his chest and used her dark Force powers to help open his airways and flow air into his lungs. Savage looked at his brother,

"Talon… I can't let him stay here and be taken into custody." Savage said quietly. Talon sighed,

"What do you suggest we do then Savage?"

Savage hung his head to think,

"He's got a comlink. I'll see if he's got Count Dooku's wavelength there. I'll request they come get him."

"Good idea." Talon said. She helped Savage up. Savage slung his brother over his shoulder and took him to the nearest hotel. Savage paid for a room for his brother to wait in. He then contacted Count Dooku.

"Oh look, it's my useless apprentice. Why are you contacting me you ignorant brute? Where is you're brother?" Dooku asked.

"He's quite passed out. He's waiting here at a hotel on Naboo's courtyard by the canal. Send a squad here to pick him up. He's in room 243B." Savage said.

"What makes you think I'll come rescue him form whatever he's gotten himself into?" Dooku inquired.

"Because he's a brilliant strategist, a fearsome assassin and he can accomplish a mission with his eyes closed. You'd be an idiot not to involve him in your campaign for victory in the war." Savage concluded. And with that the arrangements had been made. Dooku had agreed to send a spy of his in to retrieve the fallen Zabrak lord.

Savage came back to find Talon sitting in the lobby.

"Time to make our escape to Nar Shaddaa Talon." Savage said to her. Talon stood up, a little wobbly. Savage took her hand and helped her steady.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Savage asked her again.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just tired from the fight with Maul. He's quite the artist in saber combat. Now lets make that flight to Nar Shaddaa." The duo headed out the doors to the SpacePort.
