Trapped

Finally! They found it! There was no doubt about it! After weeks of looking, they finally found the ship! Obi-wan felt happiness yet dread as they docked onto the Imperial ship. Galen had tricked the officers that he was the only person on the ship after they docked to buy them some time to find Maul. Hera had ordered Rex to stay in the ship with Chopper and to take it out of the Executor in case if something goes wrong.

However, it wasn't long after docking onto the Executor when they encountered the Sith Lord.

"Starkiller, your reappearance here was inevitable. However, your alliance with these Rebels appalls me." Sidious spoke blocking the hallway.

"I am disappointed that you have failed to kill your apprentice, Vader." Sidious shunned his apprentice as Imperial Royal guards surrounded them.

The battle was over before it could have started. All of them stood a chance against Vader, but not against Sidious, and 7 Royal Guards. Along with the Imperial officers that surrounded around the Royal Guards, they were trapped.

"Take Starkiller to a separate chamber and put the Rebels and the old man along with the other prisoner. I am sure he would like some company." Sidious ordered and the Royal guards separated Galen from the others as a group of officers led the rest of the Rebels down many corridors.

Obi-wan was calm as ever as an officers led him and his friends though many twisting and turning corridors. Everyone, but Obi-wan and Feral, was nervous. Another guard had separated them from Galen and that made them worry for their new friend. No matter how the plan went though they all agreed once they boarded the ship that they would carry out the plan. The leading officer stopped at a door. Another guard had took Satine, Sabine and Hera to the next door down the hall and pushed them inside the chamber. The guard with the rest of the Rebels was about to open it until another officer with a tray of food stopped next to him. The both laughed realizing what they had in store for their new prisoners.

"I see it's feeding time for that animal!" The leading officer laughed

"Animal? He's less than that! The Sessions he's gone through turned him into nothing. He doesn't move or say anything these days." The officer holding the food remarked. Obi-wan kept his calm look, but on the inside he was panicking. What were they about to see? Nervousness built in everyone there as the officer that led them there punched a code into a pad controlling the door.

"Boy, these prisoners are in for a show!" The officer holding the tray exclaimed before the door opened to show a chamber nearly empty. The only furniture inside was a bed on one side and a toilet on the other. Than they could see a thin, nearly motionless body covered with what one would only describe as grey rags with holes in them.

"Hey! Pet! It's chow time!" The officer with the tray shouted walking into the room. Once he was through, the other Officer pushed Obi-wan inside the chamber. The body didn't stir. Once inside Obi-wan could see the black and red skin than the anorexic body bore along with the horns that crowned his head. The facade was over. The blood in Obi-wan's drain as his jaw fell.

"Shit man, is he dead?" The leading officer asked

"I can't tell." The officer holding the food just threw the tray letting the food fall off as it hit the ground. He turned and walked to the other officer.

"Maul!" Obi-wan shouted and ran over to Maul's body. He fell to his knees and shook the body. "Maul! Wake up!" As he knelt next to Maul's body he saw the large scar that ran down the side of Maul's face.

The officer took the electrostaff from the leading officer, who just stood in the doorway after the others were pushed into the chamber. Without warning to Obi-wan, who was reaching out to touch the new scar, the officer activated the staff and swung it at Obi-wan hitting him away from Maul's body.

"Hey!" Feral snapped taking a step toward the guard, but Zeb held him back.

The officer then jabbed Maul's chest with the activated staff and it sent an electrical plus through Maul's body, but he still didn't move. Another jab to the same spot and Maul's eyes flashed open. His body twisted and turned from the electricity. A very hoarse scream was ripped from Maul's throat until the guard decided that Maul was well enough alive and pulled the staff away deactivating it. Leaving Maul shaking from the electricity and a hole in the shirt where the staff had hit him.

"He must have been sleeping." The first officer suggested

"I guess well, at least we don't need to tell the Emperor that his torture toy had died." The other officer said and they both left the chamber locking the door behind them. Obi-wan and Feral went to move towards Maul until Maul had turned himself onto his stomach. Maul had pulled himself over to where his food was thrown. His legs just dragged behind him as he didn't register that there were other people in the room. They all watched in horror as Maul ate his food in silence like what had happened was an everyday experience.

"Maul." Obi-wan's heartbroken voice broken the silence, but it still didn't register to Maul. Obi-wan walked over slowly and touched Maul's shoulder he swore he could still feel electricity coursing through Maul. Maul jumped looking over his shoulder and his eyes grew wide, but not in happiness, but in horror and terror.

"Brother!" Feral called out breaking free of Zeb's hold. He ran over and fell to his knees next to Obi-wan. Maul pulled himself away from them. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He shook his head in disbelief.

"Brother, everything's fine now, we're here to rescue you!" Feral said reaching out to Maul for the young brother to watch his brother flinch and jump back.

"My God what did they do to him?" Ezra spoke and Obi-wan could feel tears threatening to fall.

"Maul, it's me. There's no need to move away. We're not going to hurt you." Obi-wan spoke moving closer to Maul until a voice not from inside the room spoke.

"Master Kenobi?" The voice rang with familiarity to Obi-wan.

"Ahsoka!" Ezra shouted happily. "Where are you?"

"The chamber next to Maul's there should be a hole in the wall near the floor somewhere." Her voice instructed not seeing a hole anywhere, Ezra looked under the bed.

"Ahsoka, is that you in there?" Ezra asked looking through the hole.

"Yes, it's me! Is Master Kenobi in there?" She asked quickly

"Yes. He is. But he looks broken at just seeing Maul." Ezra said looking at Obi-wan who looked too afraid to touch Maul.

"Why won't Maul talk?" Ezra asked looking back at Ahsoka

"It's because he can't. Not from what happened to him. Ezra, you can not let Maul be hurt again. Do not let Sidious in there!" Ahsoka begged

Ezra heard metal scraping against the floor and he looked over at Maul. Maul had panicked at hearing Sidious' name. Obi-wan was trying to calm him down.

"Maul, it's ok! Everything's alright, he's not here." Obi-wan said grabbing Maul's shoulder stopping him from retreating further. "I'm here Maul." Obi-wan's voice was soft and sweet sound to Maul's ears, yet Maul shook his head as he held his head in his hands. Maul couldn't believe it. This had to be some dream. Some trick. Some nightmare. But when Obi-wan pulled him into a hug, Maul could feel a weight on his chest be lifted. What was the weight? Maul couldn't figure it out, but when he was in Obi-wan's arms, he felt calmer. He relaxed against Obi-wan he felt like he could, just fall asleep into a peaceful dreamless sleep.

"Who did this to my brother?" Feral snarled with his fist clenched tightly his nails digging into his palms causing blood to slowly leak out of his hands. Anger and rage filling him.

"Feral, you must calm yourself." Ahsoka's voice echoed into the room. "During Maul's torture sessions, I overheard Sidious saying he'll break Maul down like he did when Maul first rebelled against Sidious. If I'm right Maul is very impressionable at the moment. The slightest sign of the dark or the light side that's not from Sidious or I can dramatically change him."

"My brother is hurt and you're telling me to calm down?!" Feral snarl echoed through the chamber as he tried to control himself.

"No Feral. She's not tell you to calm down, I am." Obi-wan's voice stayed calm as he held Maul close to him.

"Obi-wan how are you staying calm at a moment like this? Look at Maul. Look at your mate!" Feral started

"I can see as clearly as you can Feral. I see what's happened to him, but getting angry right now is not something we can be. I know Maul trained you and he's your only brother left, but if you get angry now you could be falling right into Sidious' hand. I am asking you Feral, sit, meditate. We will have our chance." Obi-wan patted the floor next to him and Feral took a deep breath then sat next to Obi-wan.

Kanan watched as Feral and Obi-wan went into meditation. Kanan didn't need the Force or his sight to tell the controlled rage Obi-wan had inside of him. Kanan walked over to them he went to place a hand on Maul, but he sensed Obi-wan put his own Force around Maul as a shield of sorts. Kanan back away to his friends thinking.

"Maul's asleep right now." Kanan spoke softly.

"I never thought I'd see Maul like this." Ezra said sitting against the wall.

"Ahsoka what do you have to say in this?" Kanan asked calmly

"Sidious was Maul's old master. From what I could tell Maul's training was harsh since the day Sidious took Maul from his family. Maul was defiant in the beginning so Sidious had to break Maul force him to think that the dark side was his only salvation." Ahsoka explained it to them.

"So Sidious was trying to do it again to him." Ezra added

"Yes, but I think it took Sidious longer for Maul to break when he was younger because his family was still alive and he hadn't know Master Kenobi back then." Ahsoka's voice paused for a moment. "Now before the torturing, Maul had told me Sidious had killed everyone."

"Everyone?" Ezra questioned

"Everyone. Sidious had killed his mother, his other brother Savage, every Nightbrother, every Nightsister, every Mandalorians that was on Dathomir, everyone on Mandalore and Zanbar and he had ordered Order 66 that had left Master Kenobi dead in his arms. Maul had been haunted by their deaths and Sidious had been using all of his guilt and his regrets against him." Ahsoka explained to him.

"There has to be a way out of here." Ezra said looking around the room with Kanan and Zeb also looking for weaknesses. All action and voices stopped when everyone, but Maul and Obi-wan, where thrown and held against the walls. Obi-wan glared at the door struggling against the Force then was pushing everyone against the walls.

After a moment of the Rebels and Feral's struggling, Sidious walked into the chamber.

"Ah, Kenobi," The old man started "I see after Order 66 that you've actually grown stronger."

"I am stronger than you can ever imagine." Obi-wan snapped at the Emperor.

"That is exactly what my old apprentice said when he first denied my offer to him." Sidious sneered as he used the Force to toss Maul away from Obi-wan. Maul snapped awake upon the impact against the ground. Obi-wan went to stand up to fight Sidious until he was also caught in the same force as his friends. Obi-wan ended up pinned against the wall next to Feral. Maul looked around the chamber at his friends terrorized and had started to crawl away from Sidious.

"Now than Maul," Sidious spoke as he slowly approached Maul. "You can stop the pain by just saying yes."

"Don't listen to him, Maul!" Obi-wan shouted cutting the old Sith off. He went to speak again until Sidious started choking him.

"Stop that you old bastard!" Feral snarled as Obi-wan clawed at the invisible force around his neck. After a moment of thinking, Sidious had an idea.

"I said stop choking him before I come over there and rip your heart out!" Feral struggled against the force until he noticed that Obi-wan was no longer being choked. "Are you alright Obi-wan?"

"I'll be fine." Obi-wan replied to him

"Maul. Surely you remember who these two are." Sidious spoke pulling Obi-wan and Feral into the middle of the room using the Force to hold them still. Maul looked between Sidious and the two family members he had left in his life. He would occasionally forget about Feral, but then he would remember.
Maul nodded.

"What are you doing bastard?!" Feral snapped again trying to look back at Sidious. His rage filling and fueling him. After a second, Sidious began attacking Obi-wan with Force Lighting.

"Hey! Stop hurting him you sick bastard." Feral yelled at the Emperor and the Lighting ceased. Feral's voice softened when he looked at Obi-wan. "Obi-wan." Was all he could say before the Jedi answered

"I'm fine, he can hurt me all he likes," Obi-wan started

"Don't say that Obi-wan. That sick bastard should be rotting away on a barren planet." Feral began to say before Obi-wan was struck with lighting again. Suddenly, Feral broke out of the hold and got in between Sidious and Obi-wan taking the brunt of the lightning. After just a couple of seconds, the lightning stopped. Feral collapsed to the ground never use to being hit by the Force Lighting before.

"Feral!" Obi-wan was freed from the hold and he kneeled down quickly next to the young Zabrak. He slowly helped Feral sit up. "Are you alright, Feral?"

"Look at that, Maul." Sidious started and Maul looked at Obi-wan helping Feral. "Your beloved mate is helping your brother. Kenobi would rather make sure your brother is fine instead of you."

Suddenly Maul couldn't help, but growl as he remembered how Obi-wan in the past had declared that Savage would be a better mate than he would. Except now, instead of Savage, it was Feral.

"Your beloved mate would rather help your brother instead of you. How does that make you feel Maul?" Sidious taunted than as Maul growled he began to stand up on his numb legs, his rage fueling him.

"Maul?" Adrenaline shot through Obi-wan's body as he looked back at Maul, who's eyes were filled with rage. "Maul, don't listen to him." Obi-wan guarded Feral's stunned body. Maul continued to growl furiously as he approached Obi-wan and Feral.
