Panic
Obi-wan watches as Maul stalks up on them. The old Jedi force pushes Feral out of the line of harm. Maul paused for a moment deciding who he should go after. Feral was already temporarily disabled due to his master's attack.
"Attack them!" Sidious commanded and Maul watched as Obi-wan slowly got up.
"Maul, we don't have to fight." Obi-wan spoke in a soft voice as Maul started to circle around him.
"Brother! You must calm yourself!" Feral snapped at Maul as he weakly stood up.
"Feral! Stay out of this!" Obi-wan demanded as Maul had turned to his brother.
"You can't possibly win in hand to hand combat with Maul." Feral snarled at Obi-wan as he kept his eyes on Maul
"And you are in no condition to fight." Obi-wan stated
"I stand a better chance than you do in winning." Feral snarled as he and Maul circled each other.
"End this banter, Lord Maul. Finish them." Sidious demanded and Maul had tackled Feral to the ground. Obi-wan watched helplessly as the two brothers wrestled on the ground. Their nails gouging deep tunnels into the other's skin. They were biting each other whenever they saw the opportunity rise.
Once Feral kicked Maul off of him, he stood up and threw the first punch that uppercut his brother. Maul quickly returned punching Feral across the face than in the stomach.
"Feral, keep your distance from him." Kanan shouted after Feral fell to the floor. "Master Kenobi's right there is no way you'll be able to defeat him. He has too much experience in fighting, you'll only be able to land a few hits on him."
Feral quickly dodged out of the way from a kick.
"You have to wear him out. Dodge and block as much as you can. That's the only possible way you can win!" Obi-wan added.
Sidious watched silently studying Maul's and Feral's moves. Sidious was interested in Feral's moves and how he planned to survive Maul's assault. No matter how much he tried sooner or later Feral got hit by a punch or a kick. If Sidious remembered correctly Feral is also Force-sensitive, so why wasn't he using the Force?
How curious, Sidious thought. The old man knew that even though the young Zabrak didn't fight with the Force the security tapes showed him using the force.
Not much longer after Sidious stopped thinking Maul's leg connected with Feral's head quickly ending the fight. It was obvious that the young Zabrak must have had some kind of head damage. He didn't move or breath as he laid on the ground. Sidious watched with a smirk as Maul picked him up by the neck.
Obi-wan watched terrified he tried to move, but something was holding him in place.
As Maul raised his limp brother's body into the air, suddenly Feral kicked Maul in the stomach and punched him in the face, breaking Maul's nose. Before Maul could pull his hand away from Feral's neck, Feral grabbed Maul's arm and flipped Maul over him slamming Maul into the ground. Everyone watched and listen as bones cracked on the impact. Maul's shoulder was noticeably broken as it just fell to the ground after Feral released it.
Sidious frown as Maul stood back up growling ferociously and Feral then used the Force to slam Maul into the wall. The sound of Maul's horns cracking as his head slammed against the wall. Feral's legs were shaking weakly as Maul took a step towards Feral, his vision fading in and out. The younger Zabrak fell to his knees feeling lightheaded from the blood loss and Maul collapsed to the ground from the concussion the same moment Feral had passed out.
"How disappointing." Sidious snarled and left the chamber.
Everyone was released from the wall and everyone could see the blood was everywhere draining from the two Zabrak brothers.
"Maul! Feral!" Obi-wan shouted running over to them. Obi-wan had kneeled in the pool of their blood. Obi-wan picked Maul's body up to rest on his knees and he shook him determined to wake him up. "Maul, wake up!"
Obi-wan placed his ear against Maul's chest to hear his twin hearts beating slowly. A flicker of hope raced through Obi-wan. He had carefully placed Maul's body back on the ground and he scuffed over to Feral's body. Like he did with Maul, Obi-wan placed an ear on Feral's chest to barely hear his hearts beat. Many thoughts raced through Obi-wan's mind as he tried to think of what to do. He looked up at the stunned Rebels in panic as if they had any answers. Before anyone could say anything, a blonde Imperial Officer step into the chamber. He was shocked by what he saw. Obi-wan turned to see him and Obi-wan placed Feral down.
"Get out of here, Imperial scum." Obi-wan stood defensively between the officer and the near-death Zabrak brothers.
"I suppose this is a new friend of yours." The officer spoke
"It's fine, Master Kenobi, he's a friend." Kanan calmly placed a hand on Obi-wan's shoulder.
"I am Agent Kallus," The Officer said to Obi-wan than looked at Kanan. "I had heard a fight happening and I brought a couple of medical droids. I knew that Rebels had been captured, but I wasn't expecting you all to be the willing ones to be captured."
"A friend of ours had been captured and this was the only way we knew how to get him out." Ezra spoke up and the droids went over to Maul and Feral.
"I've been trying to figure out who was in here for weeks, but this room had been heavily guarded." Kallus commented looking at the two brothers.
"Master Kenobi would give up the search for Maul until we had found him." Ezra added
"Master Kenobi as in Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi? And Maul as in The Sith Lord Darth Maul?" Kallus looked surprised
"Yes, we are and I thank you for your help." Obi-wan spoke up and knelt down next to Maul. He placed his hand on the side of Maul's face that had the long scar on it. "I don't know what I would do if I had lost Maul."
"Who's the other Zabrak? I do not recognize him from other Rebel missions." Kallus asked looking at Kanan
"He is Maul's youngest brother. His only living family now... besides Master Kenobi." Kanan answered
"Besides Master Kenobi?" Kallus echoed slowly and confused and Obi-wan had quickly stood and faced Kallus.
"Yes, Maul is my mate and I regret not staying with him the day he was captured. If you have any problem with this, I am sure we can settle it one way or another." Obi-wan spoke with calmness in his voice, but Kallus could tell not to push the situation. Kallus back away a couple of steps with his hands up.
"I have no problem with it, but hearing that you, Maul and the Rebels are here, Thrawn has been ordered to take all Jedi and Rebels to some impregnable prison." Kallus explained and watched as Obi-wan raise a hand and stroked his beard.
"A prison in the Lola Sayu system?" Obi-wan questioned
"Yes, I believe so." Kallus answered him
"The Citadel." Obi-wan stated
"Pardon me?" Kallus was purely confused
"Believe it or not but I was in the Citadel before." Obi-wan smirked at the memory
"Master Kenobi?" Ezra spoke up as confused as Kallus
"Well, I actually broke in. Well, with Anakin's help..." Obi-wan's voice faded but picked back up. "Breaking in isn't what we need though. With Maul and Feral both injured, we can't risk an escape just yet."
"Are you suggesting that we let ourselves be taken to the Citadel, Master Kenobi? If I remember correctly, that place is where they hold rogue Jedi." Kanan spoke up
"And in the Clone Wars, the Separatist had taken over it. Anakin and I had to rescue Master Piell from there." Obi-wan explains, "We had to split into two groups one distraction group and one escape group. We had R2 there to guide some reprogrammed battle droids to help us leave."
"You want to go into the Citadel until your mate and his brother heal than have me replace that R2 unit don't you Master Kenobi?" Kallus sighed
"That is precisely what I'm planning." Obi-wan replied
"But did you manage to get out of the Citadel?" Ezra asked
"Well... not exactly. Anakin and I got out of the Citadel, yes, but our shuttle had ended up being destroyed by the droids. We had to get Master Plo to send in carrier ships to pick us up." Obi-wan explained.
"Well, that's comforting to know." Kallus spoke up.
"Are we in agreement on the plan?" Obi-wan asked turning to Kanan.
"Well, it's the only plan we have left now. Although, we still have Rex and Chopper in the Ghost waiting for us." Kanan added
"I'll send them a transmission and we will rendezvous somewhere before we come to rescue you." Kallus resolved
"Oh, and Kallus." Obi-wan spoke up again
"Yes?" Kallus turned to Obi-wan
"We have friends in the neighboring room to ours. It would be great if you made sure we go in at the same time. I know the Empire and how they will try to separate us." Obi-wan spoke and Kallus started walking to the door.
"Of course. No worries Master Kenobi." Kallus spoke at the door.
"Oh, and Kallus." Obi-wan spoke up again
"Yes?" Kallus turned to look at Obi-wan before the door opened
"We will need our lightsabers and weapons." Obi-wan commented
"Of course." Kallus rolled his eyes once he saw Obi-wan's smirk. "The droids will stay here and heal your mate and his brother as much as they can before the transfer." Kallus walked out of the room and hardly a moment after that Obi-wan turned to the two medic droids.
"How are they?" Obi-wan asked with a worried tone
"They are in stable condition at the moment. We have managed to stop their bleeding yet they both have lost a significant amount of blood. Blood transfers will be needed." A droid spoke.
"Blood transfers?" Obi-wan echoed surprised
"That is correct. It is vital for their survival." The droid spoke
"But they are the last of their kind and I doubt any place has Dathomirian Zabrak blood in stock!" Obi-wan stated
"I'm sure we can find some kind of Iridonian Zabrak blood. That should be a good enough substitute, shouldn't it?" Ezra spoke up.
"No. Maul and his brother are Dathomirian's, which mean that they're half Zabrak and half Human. Iridonian's are completely Zabrak, their blood would not be accepted by Maul's and Feral's body." Obi-wan explained
"Then can't we just mix some human blood with Iridonian blood and it would be good enough?" Ezra asked
"That still won't be enough. We'll get the same results as we would just giving them Iridonian blood. We must find another way to save them." Obi-wan turned away from them to think. He didn't know what to do he was a Jedi, not a doctor! Obi-wan stood there and taking many deep breaths. After a moment of still not knowing what to do, he remembered how Anakin had always come up with the backup plans, then after Anakin, it was Maul who had all the backup plans. Obi-wan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he pushed all of those thoughts away. He walked over the wall, where the hole was, and sat down. It was time to ask the girls what they thought on all of it. He knew he could trust them to come up with a good plan, but first, it was time to fill them in with the plan they had formed so far.
