"It can't be. I remember killing him myself." Obi-wan states strongly, not believing you.
"I'm afraid it is true father. The temple received a message from Raydonia this morning. Maul will continue to kill innocent lives until you confront him." You get to the point quickly.
"I would like to see this message." Your Father remarks. You nod and pull out the drive that Master Windu gave you. You start the message and look away, not wanting to see the horror caused by this monster, though you still hear it.
After hearing the message end, you turn back to your father.
"I have no choice but to go." He says.
"The council actually requested that I bring you back to Coruscant. But I'm sure you do not wish to return." You assume.
"No, I won't return to the temple. We must go alone."
"We? Did you not here Maul? 'Come alone!' I can't go!" You respond, not wanting to put more innocents lives in danger.
"(y/n), we are father and son. We must go together." He attests, walking up to you.
"But Maul so obviously seeks revenge against you. He must've been suffering so badly for the past 13 years because of you. He will do anything to watch you suffer. I do not think it will be safe for either of us, if my presence is there." You explain timidly. You felt small and scared in this position. You'd never even thought of meeting or facing a Sith.
"(y/n), we are both Kenobi. I was not strong enough to defeat Maul on Naboo, but together, we can end the terror he is bringing upon our galaxy." Your Father confirms, lightly grabbing both of your shoulders.
You looked up into his eyes. He didn't seem nervous or unsure about his decision. And to you, he is your father and a trustworthy superior. So, you bestowed your trust in him.
"Ok. I will come with you to Raydonia. And if we fight Maul, you might need this." You accept, offering your father his lightsaber back. He smiles and grabs the weapon from your hand.

"Well, after I got the promotion to general. I started spending more time with the 212th rather than the 104th. They are extremely focused and determined soldiers." You told your father, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of your ship while you were traveling through hyperspace.
"After about a week or two, we were needed for our first mission together. We were sent to the-"
"I'm sure that you are not allowed to tell people like me that information anymore." Your father interrupts.
"I don't care. You're my dad, and I would like to tell you what I have been up to. It's not the first time I've disobeyed restrictions." You reply snappily.
"Not the first time?" Your father questioned with his voice getting higher. You sit and silence and don't respond, instead staring into the dark blackness of space. You shouldn't have said that.
"(y/n), would this have anything to do with the time you were meditating on the thoughts of...attachment?" He queries, his whole focus on you.
"No." You dismiss. "But, it does have something to do with that day." You quickly start.
"Go on."
"The book you were reading when I entered the public space. I looked at it and I took it with me to educate myself. Do you remember what book it was?" You asked.
"I believe it was on a forbidden force ability, correct?"
"Yep. Force judgment." You announce.
"I'm beginning to master the ability. Master Plo actually now teaches me on how to use it correctly." You explain, putting a look of surprise on your father's face.
"Well, I guess that isn't the worst thing you could have said. But I am surprised that Master Plo would teach you about it. I know he mastered the ability. But I thought he swore to never use it again."
"I guess I changed his point of view." You reply, smiling proudly. You and your father continue to talk on your journey to Raydonia. You tell him about the battle of Crait and he catches you up on his journey. He stayed on Coruscant until he was able to buy a ship, then he traveled to Mandalore to speak with Satine about his new life.
After the lengthy discussions, your ship came out of hyperspace to Raydonia. You moved the ship through the atmosphere of the planet and spotted smoke coming from a village up ahead. That's where you choose to descend and park the shuttle.
No words are spoken between the two of you as you walk down the ramp onto the firm surface of the planet. It's very eerie and quiet. You glide down a small street, seeing dead bodies lying on the ground around you.
You gulped, terrified to meet the monster who did this. He will be like no opponent you have ever faced before. The fact that this being was once a Sith frightens you beyond belief. As you check behind you, anxious that he might pop out at any second, you hear a loud menacing bellow.
"Did I not tell you to come alone!"
You look around, past your father and see him. He stands tall upon a flaming building, his skin was redder than the flames that lit the sky behind him.
"I guess we will just have to kill him, then we can get to your suffering, Kenobi." Maul barks, pointing right at you. You quickly walk closer to your father as you know start to survey the surroundings again. 'Don't tell me there's another one of them.' You hope.
Unfortunately, you are right. Another monster similar to Maul appears, but larger. He was clothed in black and similar to Maul though he was colored yellow instead of Maul's blood red. The tall, frightening figure ignited his lightsaber, both the blades. You grabbed yours and activated it. The terrifying monster swung at you. You put your lightsaber up to defend, and it was a quite easy block. But the power coming from his swing was enough to push you backwards a few steps.
You readied again for his strikes as you heard the mechanical legs of Maul land on the ground behind you. Both Obi-wan and Maul activated their lightsabers and started to duel. The other horned beast took more swings at you, each one coming quicker and stronger than the last. It didn't take long for your lightsaber to be knocked out of your hands and for you to stumble to the ground. The giant yellow beast stood on your chest, squeezing the air from your lungs. You watched Obi-wan lose his small duel with Maul. Maul then took Obi-wan's lightsaber and hovered his red blade at your father's throat while he lay on the ground in a similar position to yourself.
"Savage, kill the young one." Maul ordered politely. The yellow beast by the name of Savage ignited one of his blades, bringing it high above his head, ready to ferociously swing down.
"Noooooo!" Your father yelled in desperation. You looked into the beasts' eyes as he reached the height of his swing. As his blade rapidly accelerated towards your face your eyes closed in reaction and
The blade never met your skin. Instead it met another blade.
You opened your eyes to see Maul's lightsaber hovering above your face, preventing Savage from striking you down.
"Wait Savage. I think we might have someone close to Kenobi here." Maul laughs maniacally.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Savage asked in his deep voice.
"He could have purpose. We will use him to make Kenobi suffer." Maul hisses in excitement. You see a grin form on the faces of the two Sith. Maul proceeded to walk back to your father and with one swift punch, Savage knocked you out cold.
~
You open your eyes and see that you are aboard some sought of cargo ship, it's quite large and you were in the cargo section, both your arms were grasped tightly in the yellow hands of Savage.
"He is finally awake." Maul mutters, smiling. You see Obi-wan kneeling on the floor in front of you with regret written across his face.
"Give him to me brother." Maul orders. You feel your limp body fall to the ground as Savage lets go of you. The two brothers switch places as Savage goes and stands by your father whilst Maul picks you up by the collar of your robes. He turned you to face him and you looked into his eyes. It was terrifying, you could see the flaming yellow of his eyes surround by a red, jagged mess.
"So Kenobi, shall we find out how much you care for this boy?" Maul mocks, looking at Obi-wan.
"Let's start light shall we?" Maul chuckles before throwing you across the room and into the wall. That took a toll on your back. He walked over to you and picked you up again. This time he punches you in the stomach a few times.
"Let him go. Do it to me instead. I'm the one you seek vengeance against." Obi-wan yelled. This only made Maul hurl your body across the cargo bay again, this time you landed on the floor, next to a pile of crates. You heard the footsteps of Maul approaching you again. Before you could get up Maul slammed you into the pile of crates.
"It seems you have quite the connection to this boy Kenobi. Soon I will kill him, just like I did with your Master. But first, I want to watch you suffer more!" He snarled, pushing your body so you sat on one of the crates, your limbs sprawled everywhere.
"This will be...excruciating." Maul grinned. You heard the activation of a lightsaber, then saw the red blade approach your left arm. It slowly started to burn through your robes, heating up your skin, and eventually.
"Aaaaaahh." You screamed in agony as Maul's blade slowly started to burn and cut into your skin. It was beyond excruciating. You compare it to the time you were shot in your chest, though only this time it was as if it was going at an extremely slow pace, granting you the time to feel every nerve melt against the blade.
You looked away, not wanting to see the steam that poured from the wound. After what felt like an eternity Maul pulled his lightsaber away. You began to whimper and groan as you crawled up close to yourself, trying to endure the pain that is still very much present.
Ahsoka POV
I sat quietly in my room. I was still, sitting legs crossed in the middle of my bed. My Master and I only got back a few hours ago. But ever since I came back I just felt ill. Not the usual discomfort or aching from a common sickness. This was all mental.
I don't know what happened, but something felt off. I know that (y/n) is gone, he told me he wouldn't be here. So I'm unsure what could be giving me these feelings.
My thoughts of wonderment are interrupted by a minor pain in my left arm. It feels warm and wide. It slowly starts to go deeper as if penetrating my skin and becomes hotter. I scramble on my bed till my back hits the wall. What is this pain and where is it coming from!? I panic, pain and emotions like these have never happened to me before.
Then for a split second, I heard something. It didn't come from my room or even from myself, but it was inside my head. It was someone screaming out in agony.
"(y/n)!" I yelp. I recognized the tone and quality of his voice instantly. Then the pain quickly subsides, there was no mark on my arm, but I still felt a light warmth in the area.
"Did I just feel (y/n)'s pain?"
