Obsession

The Executor part 2

"We have no chance against Sidious." Maul's voice for the one sentence sounded frail. "With each day that Vader grows stronger, Sidious is sure to be 100 steps ahead of him in their plans, and in their strength. He is more powerful than he was than we last saw him."

"And so are we. With your Magiks and our help, we will be able to win against that monster." Obi-wan grabbed Maul's hand and held it comfortingly. "The galaxy will be at peace and we will have our revenge, Maul."

Maul stopped in the hall and looked at Obi-wan. Hearing the words come from Obi-wan surprised him. Never once had he heard Obi-wan talk about revenge that was about himself. The Jedi's voice had suddenly turned sharp at the word 'revenge.'

"Why are we stopping?" Kanan spoke up and Maul looked away from Obi-wan and was silent for another moment

"Vader is not far, he's on the bridge. Alone. It's just ahead." Maul turned and started walking again.

 They went into a door that had led to the bridge of the ship. It was dark on the bridge, yet they could see two figures looking out of the front hull window. A rush of panic went into Maul and he quickly and quietly commanded everyone to hide. The Rebels gazed at Maul from their hiding spots in confusion. Maul held onto Obi-wan with a death grip as the hid in the same spot. Silence had overfell the Rebels as they hid, causing them to be able to hear the conversation between the two people who still haven't noticed their presence yet.

"You lured the Emperor to us." The smaller figure spoke over the heavy breathing that was obviously from Vader's suit. "When do we strike?"

"You are wrong." Vader spoke. "I did not summon him."

As if on cue, Sidious walked onto the bridge and both the two figures turned around, the smaller one in surprise. Gasping, the smaller figure was in pure shock as Vader's lightsaber ignited into his back and out of his stomach. Vader held the front of the man's throat as the man began to fall forward. 

"His spies followed you here." Vader spoke before dropping the man, who curled on the ground still alive and in pain.

"What is thy bidding, my master?" Vader spoke as Sidious approached him.

"You have forgotten your place, Lord Vader." Sidious hissed "By taking this boy as your apprentice, you have betrayed me. Now! You will kill him! Or I will destroy you both."

The man started to stand up and he looked almost beggingly at Vader. "Master, we can defeat him together!"

"Do it now, Lord Vader! Strike him down and prove your loyalty to me." Sidious demanded and there was a moment where Vader looked between his master and his apprentice. One would almost say he hesitated before lifting his apprentice up with the force and throwing him around the bridge of the ship with Sidious' laughter as the only other noise came from the apprentice slamming into the walls and his bone cracking and breaking. It all had ended with the apprentice being tossed out of one of the windows with a shield quickly following suit, to seal where the window had been.

Obi-wan struggled to be released from Maul's grip desperately wanting to go and help the untitled Sith. Maul kept him still and silent as Sidious began to leave the bridge. Maul was barely able to control his fear as Sidious stopped for a moment. Maul closed his eyes tightly as if Sidious would have been able to see the glow of his eyes and he controlled his breathing the best he could. If he couldn't calm himself quickly, he wouldn't be able to hide his and the other's presence from the power Sith Lords. 

Maul quietly released a shaky sigh and lightened his death grip on Obi-wan once Sidious left the bridge.  None of the Rebels dared to move or speak until Vader had also left the bridge.
