The former Sith apprentice Maul watched, as his fellow Nightbrother Savage Opress fell
at the blades of Darth Sidious. The Zabrak saw the Nightsister Magic flow out of Savage
and tightened the grip on his lightsabers. Maul however, was no match for the powers
of Darth Sidious, as the Sith Lord disarmed his former apprentice and promptly toyed with
him, claiming that he would have other uses for him, secretly planning to draw out the
dangerous Mother Talzin. Maul eventually managed to escape from his imprisonment on Stygeon
Prime, with help from Members of the Death Watch, but any hope for a defeat for Sidious
was extinguished. Eventually arriving on the planet of Dathomir, Talzin and Maul’s attempts
to use Dooku’s body to defeat Sidious failed, as Grievous and Sidious duelled Maul and Talzin,
and lost, as Talzin sacrificed herself to allow Maul to escape. But what if Maul had
managed to defeat both Grievous and Dooku? How would Sidious deal with the threat of
Talzin and Maul? Would the Jedi find out about Sidious? As you are going to find out, the
fall of Dooku and Grievous, would have ground-breaking consequences…
As Maul force pushed Grievous out of the mouth of an arch, Talzin and Sidious battled with
their own lightning attacks. The Zabrak saw Dooku getting up from Talzin’s control over
his body, and before he could launch a Force lightning attack, Maul plunged his darksaber
into the Sith apprentice. Sidious growled in rage, and redirected his attack at Maul,
who was saved by the shield created by Talzin’s magick. As he rolled away, Grievous had risen
from his fall, and Maul knew the cyborg was after Talzin. The Zabrak blocked Grievous’
lightsabers with his darksaber, and Force pushed him again towards the Mandalorian warriors.
Talzin saw this as a chance to escape from Sidious’ attacks and swiftly moved to Grievous’
recovering body, and with Maul, killed the cyborg before leaving with Maul’s warriors.
Sidious watched with disgust as Maul and Talzin left Dathomir, and he sought immediate revenge.
The Sith Lord flew back to Coruscant, and summoned the Jedi Council to his office. As
the Jedi were seated around him, Palpatine brought the hologram of Maul and Talzin, declaring
they had been found on Mandalore. The Jedi had hesitant to intervene given the neutrality
that Duchess Satine had wanted, but as she was no longer in power, the Jedi and the Republic
needed to save the civilians. With his knowledge of the planet, Obi-Wan contacts Bo Katan and
her Nite Owls, and they are grateful for the help of the Jedi. Obi-Wan and the 212th Battallion
plan their attack above Mandalore, and somehow have to separate Maul and Talzin. Swooping
to the surface below, it was time to retake Mandalore. Back on Coruscant, Palpatine was
pleased that he had managed to move Kenobi from Skywalker, and now he needed to move
the Jedi from his future apprentice. The padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi was currently in the apartment
of Senator Amidala, when he received a transmission from the Jedi Council. As he arrived outside
the footsteps of the Chamber, and ominous feeling dawned over him, and he walked inside.
Mace Windu reveals that Palpatine, had elected him to become a member of the Council in a
surprising move, but they do not make him a master, as Palpatine had anticipated. The
frustrated Anakin is unsure of what to do next, and upon the insistence of Padme contacts
Obi-Wan, and demanded to know why he wasn’t a master. Obi-Wan had discussed the matter
with Yoda and Mace Windu, and they had become suspicious of Palpatine. The Council were
wary of Anakin’s connection to the Chancellor, and now Obi-Wan had been removed, he was in
danger. The Jedi knight accuses Obi-Wan and the Council of weaving lies against the Chancellor.
Anakin’s hologram quickly disappears, and Obi-Wan turns to Commander Cody beside him
for any ideas on how to deal with Anakin. Suddenly, they are interrupted by Bo Katan,
who reports that Maul is located in the underground tunnels, along with members of his Shadow
Collective. Obi-Wan commands her warriors to stay where they are, whilst he went to
engage Maul. Entering into a speeder, the Jedi master uses his lightsaber to enhance
his view of the dark tunnels, until he hears the voice of Maul amongst several others.
Obi-Wan peers around the corner and sees his old enemy talking to members of his criminal
network, when one of the member of the Pykes provides something that surprises the Jedi.
The Pyke reveals that several containers of spice had gone missing, and displayed holograms
of the suspects in the Martez sisters and Ahsoka Tano. Obi-Wan was annoyed at himself
for failing to remember Ahsoka, as she would be able to talk sense to Anakin. The Jedi
master slowly creeped back out of the tunnels, avoiding Maul’s Mandalorian guards. The
Jedi master re-entered his command base, and talked to Yoda about the discovery of Ahsoka,
and what he should do next. The Grandmaster paused, then asked Obi-Wan to bring Ahsoka
back to Coruscant. Obi-Wan left in his ship, feeling guilty at having to abandon the mission
on Mandalore for now, and headed for Oba Diah. Entering the dangerous airspace controlled
by the criminal empire, the Jedi master found that he was being chased by a number of Gauntlet
starfighters, before tumbling into the surface below.
