Obi wan is sent to Mandalore to deal with Maul and the deathwatch. He manages to rescue Satine but at the price of his own freedom. In the hands of Maul and Pre Vizsla Obi wan must find a way to escape and take on the Sith threat once and for all.

Authors Notes

I really like Pre Vizsla and I think he was killed before his time on the show, I feel like he really owes Obi a beat down after the incident on Concordia. I wrote this before I had seen some of the episodes which have the Mandalore arc in them so any similarities are completely unintentional. Please review, the more reviews I get the faster I will update! Constructive criticism is more than welcome but please no turd reviews!

Enjoy J

Chapter 1

"Satine"

Obi wan shouted running down the reflective glass hallway headed to the hangar. Pre Vizsla, Maul, Savage he would take them all if he had to, run them through to save her. He knew it was wrong to feel that way, it was an attachment but he would do the same for Anakin, for Asohka maybe even for Rex or Cody. Not for revenge or anger but to protect the innocent and destroy the Sith, his sacred oath as a Jedi.

He turns the corner, cuts his way through the hangar door and stops dead in his tracks.

"Obi" she pleads and he nearly drops his lightsaber because his hands are shaking.

Maul holds her by her arms, which are twisted behind her back in a way obi wan knows all too well is quite painful. Maul holds his saber pressed to her neck and his blood lust is so palpable in the force that Kenobi's stomach turns.

"look out" She chokes.

Obi wan is momentarily frozen by her cry and he is very nearly taken by surprise when Vizsla comes from behind him and slams his rifle into the back of the jedi masters skull. Out of habit established by years at war, Obi wan ducks and rolls instead of falling to the floor, he ignites his saber and prepares to strike down the leader of death watch.

"Ah ah ah Kenobi" maul seethes "You had better put that down, someone could get hurt"

The Sith lords apprentice watches dully from the behind his master and even smirks when his brother smacks Satine with the hilt of his weapon and then presses the ignition point to her skull.

"Let her go Maul" Obi wan demands it of him, the very same voice that commands errant clones and naughty padawans.

"Let her go and I shall go quietly"

Obi wan seeks his refuge, knowing that this situation can go nowhere good. The force is constricted with the dark side presence but still the light embraces him. He reaches for Anakin and sends his beacon of distress; it's all he can force through the closing gap.

"And what will you do if I don't let her go, Jedi?"

Maul curses the last word and throws the woman trapped in his arms to his apprentice, who puts her in a similar situation. He then stalks slowly, confidently and dangerously towards Obi Wan.

"I will do what I must, taking your life is more important than saving hers" He whispers his eyes never leaving the floor.

"I'll not save her and damn the balance of the force"

"Apprentice" Maul commands "If Kenobi raises his hand against me, gut his precious Duchess" He snaps.

Maul clips his sabre to his belt and comes closer still; Obi wan has never felt such indecision. He could very well kill Maul at this instant and rid the galaxy of the Savage Oppress and Pre Vizsla in short order but in doing so Satine would inevitably die.

"Consider your bluff called, Kenobi" Maul then slams his fist into Obi wans stomach.

"Obi" Satine shouts as he falls to his knees, his ribs creaking in pain.

"Come on Obi Wan I thought that saving her wasn't that important"

Maul sneers as he rips into Auburn hair pulling the man up only to slam his knee into the Jedi's face.

"not the Jedi way, Obi wan"

Another strike to his tender ribs and Obi wan can't hold in the grunt of pain as his mind struggles to stay in the present and not reliving the past. He has been here before, at Mauls mercy. That experience still burns with a bright fear that he readily sends to the force.

"You are weak" Maul roars and wrenches the Jedi's arm into a lock, with his boot on Obi wans shoulder and his hands jerking Obi wans arm up to the limit of his bodies flexibility.

"Obi Wan"

Satines scream is the last thing he hears before his own cry of agony. Maul pushes beyond his threshold and with an audible pop the Jedi's shoulder breaks along his collar bone and the top of his joint dislocates from its natural position. The pain is unbelievable, scorching and white hot from the length of his arm burning a path to his brain.

Maul is laughing, near hysterically as Obi wan tames his cry to a series of uncontrollable gasps.

"Revenge, Jedi, REVENGE" Maul hisses before he slams the heel of his boot onto the suffering injury. Obi wan passes out.

Woo, glad that's over, poor obi wan. If you liked it, review. If you want another chapter, review. If you don't want Darth Maul to break and dislocate your shoulder, REVIEW! J
