The fight had gone on for much longer than anticipated by all involved. For over an hour the battle had raged, each side – two verses one, Jedi verses Sith – had severely underestimated the other.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was tiering. The long walk from the edge of Theed to the Palace where the battle had begun had been hard – even for the Jedi, when you considered the fact that he and Qui-Gon were responsible for the safety of a dozen other people in a heavy fire fight.
Obi-Wan parried yet another mighty blow from the unusual, double bladed lightsaber – a Saberstaff it was called if his memory served him correctly. It was said that the only one to have ever fully mastered the art of a Saberstaff was Exar Kun – a Sith Lord of millennia ago. 'If that where true' reflected Obi-Wan 'I wouldn't fancy a round with him.'
Another block from the Sith, Obi-Wan could feel his muscles straining – Protesting against the prolonged usage. -don't give up now Padawan.- came his masters voice through the training bond -the end of the fight is near; I can sense it.- At hearing this he upped the anti on his attacks, throwing everything he had at the Sith Lord.
It was then that he noticed a slight flaw in his opponents technique, when he parried Obi-Wan's attack directly after Qui-Gon's, he left a large amount of the hilt exposed at the end closest to the blade he used to defend. Deciding to try to exploit this, Obi-Wan waited until the Sith struck at Qui-Gon again, the experienced master skilfully defended as Obi-Wan took another vertical swing at the Sith, angling at his left shoulder, the Zabrak brought his weapon around – the left blade rising to defend. at the last moment he angled across the body, the Sith responded by swinging away, but nevertheless Obi-Wan was rewarded by the smell of melting metal as the tip of his lightsaber brushed the end of the hilt of the Sith's weapon.
The dark lord let out a snarl and Obi-Wan let a brief smirk of satisfaction cross his face. He rushed in for another attack, striking his opponents blade down to the floor of the walkway. A second later the Sith's boot came flying toward towards his chin. It struck him a crushing blow. Causing him to drop his saber and fly off the walkway and down toward the darkness below…
Qui-Gon watched in horror as the Sith kicked Obi-Wan from the walkway and sent him flying down toward the darkness below. "Obi-Wan!" he called out in a half-shout. The Sith, sensing his distraction, launched at him with a flurry of blows. Qui-Gon blocked a high strike, before quickly lowering his blade to defend a blow at his hip, before pirouetting to strike at the Sith's own left hip – time seemed to slow. The blades of the two remaining combatants seemed to move impossibly slowly as his green blade arched in; the enemy brought his saberstaff over his body such that the lower blade was protecting his hip – the same side that Obi-Wan had hit a few seconds earlier. Just before Qui-Gon's blade reached the Sith's red one, the red blade sputtered and died, finally succumbing to the damage done by Obi-Wan's lightsaber. The Zabrak's eyes widened in shock and pain as the blade passed through his middle. Time sped back up again as the two halves of the Sith Lord slipped off the walkway and fell away into blackness, it was at that moment that bond with Obi-Wan flared with pain before shattering.
A loud "Noooooo!" joined the gentle humming from the generators. Qui-Gon's cry was filled with anguish, the bond breaking could mean only one thing – Obi-Wan Kenobi, was dead…
AN: A very different ending to the one we're all familiar with. I hope that the fighting was okay, I'm generally not very good with lightsaber fights. Just to clarify: the fight here is the same as in the movie up to when Obi-Wan gets kicked of the ledge and lands on one below. Obviously here he scores a small hit with his lightsaber against Maul's hilt here and when he falls he misses the platform. Please R & R, it's my first fic so don't be to harsh, flames will be pointedly ignored.
