Dawn of The Sith

Escape

Maul had been in the cave for three hours now, and he was beginning to get hungry. He knew that he would starve to death if he stayed for any longer, so he decided to swim back through the tunnel to the open water. He just managed to squeeze back through the narrow entrance when he suddenly stopped in horror. There was the biggest creature he had ever seen in his life floating before him. Riding the creature was several Nautolans, one of which was the force wielder. There were also about five dolphin-like creatures with Nautolans upon them, each rider carrying a large pike in their hands.

"I warned you not to come," said the force user Nautolan.

"If you kill me, the Sith will come looking for me and they know I am here," said Maul. It was a lie. Sidious would not look for him, he would just take on Rahziid as an apprentice instead but the Nautolan didn't need to know that.

"My people will help you if you do one simple task for us," the force user said.

"What is it?" asked Darth Maul.

"You also persuade my brother and his people to help," the Nautolan said.

"The Jedi?" asked Maul. "That's impossible!"

"Not if you take my lightsaber. There are so many Jedi nowadays, all you have to do is present your lightsaber to the temple guards. They know that someone would be mad to try and attack it which is why security is so laid-back," said the Nautolan. Maul sighed and then agreed. Maul would have to make sure that the Jedi were well away from Maul in the final battle, incase Rahziid revealed his true identity as a Sith.

Maul swam up to the surface and climbed up the steep rocks into his ship. he contacted his master and awaited a reply.

"What is it, my young apprentice?" asked Sidious.

"Can you tell me Rahziid's hologram number?" asked Maul.

"2187," said Sidious. "I hope you aren't getting friendly with him."

"It's just business," Maul said as he dialed Rahziid's hologram number and closed Sidious' hologram. Rahziid appeared and looked confused.

"What is it Maul?" asked Rahziid. "I hope you aren't backing out of our duel."

"Look Rahziid. You must not bring a red lightsaber to the battle, or mention the Sith at all. If you do it could mean the exposure of the Sith. A few Jedi may be coming and they could ruin both of our chances and not just mine," said Maul.

"Ok, ok. But I will just kill them if it gets out of hand," Rahziid said as he left the hologram. Maul sighed. If Rahziid were to get Jedi as well, things would be so confusing. Luckily, Maul knew that Rahziid would not ask for the help of the Jedi Scum, even if he was about to be thrown into a Sarlaac's mouth. Maul started up his engines and flew out of the planet's atmosphere. His destination was Coruscant, and it would be the most dangerous day he had ever had in his life.

Meanwhile, on Felucia, Rahziid sat among a group of Twi'lek warriors and laughed. He had just received a message from the so called "Darth" Maul. Maul was using the help of the cowardly Jedi. Well, lets see if the stupid Jedi scum would be able to defeat an entire army of Battle Droids, commanded by the most skilled warriors in the Galaxy, the Twi'leks. That was not all. Rahziid also had the planet of Rodia willing to give their support as well as a few Bounty Hunters. Of course this alliance had cost his quite a lot of Credits, 500,000 to be exact. But this would be a battle Maul would not win, and Rahziid would rise as a Sith Lord.
