What if?: One Death

The battle

Qui-gon and Obi-wan stopped as they saw the door open up to two figures in black cloaks. Qui-gon and Obi-wan quickly drew out their lightsabers as they got blasted with a sinister feeling from the figures in the black cloaks. The one lowered its hood to show his tattooed red skin that was decorated with a deadly crown of horns. His eyes seared into the Jedi's with his yellow and red sun-like eyes. It's skin could only be described as demon-like by Obi-wan even though he knew that it's species was most likely Zabrak. The other figure just glared at them with its glowing yellow eyes and it let out a disturbing cackle as it and its partner ignited their lightsabers. The Jedi were concerned, both of their opponents had enhanced lightsabers. The Zabrak had a double bladed light saber and the other one had twin lightsabers. The Zabrak was the first was who made a move. Obi-wan quickly block his move. As Obi-wan and the Zabrak were locked in battle it left Qui-gon and the old man to fight. Qui-gon could tell his padawan was becoming overwhelmed by the double bladed lightsaber. As they fought, Qui-gon noticed that the Zabrak was trying to lure Obi-wan away from the other battle. Qui-gon knew if they were separated during the battle, they both would be dead. Skillfully, Qui-gon jumped over the Sith still blocking more attacks. Before hey knew it, the four found themselves in some sort of reactor room that had bridges stretching across the circular room on multiple levels. As they fought the Zabrak had kicked Obi-wan off of the one bridge.
"Obi-wan!" Qui-gon shouted breaking his concentration for hardly a second and he felt a blade from one of his enemies rip into one of his arms but not cutting completely through. He had no time now to wonder if his padawan had fallen endlessly to his death or if a bridge below had caught him. He was becoming quickly overwhelmed by the two Sith. He knew from his training long ago that there was only two Sith: a master and an apprentice. The only question now was which one was the master. Qui-gon knew if he took out the master that the apprentice would be rendered useless. He was pushed to the edge of the bridge and he was trying his best to keep his balance.
Before any of them knew it, Obi-wan suddenly appeared behind the old man knocking one of the twin lightsabers from him. The old man quickly turned around to fight Obi-wan, but his split second of surprise gave Obi-wan enough time to quickly slice the old man's gut open gutting him right there. The Zabrak jumped back from his battle with Qui-gon.
"Master!" The Zabrak gasped keeping his lightsaber lit. Qui-gon and Obi-wan hardly heard the Zabrak as the Jedi pushed the battle. They needed to corner the last Sith and keep him confined until backup came. Obi-wan led the battle head on as Qui-gon tried his best to help his padawan with his injured arm, that he tried keeping still to not cause anymore damage to it. To Qui-gon's slight surprise, the Zabrak wasn't trying to fight back against Obi-wan. Once the lone Sith was cornered into a room, he turned his attention to Qui-gon instead of Obi-wan who kept him in the corner. Once the Zabrak figured that he wasn't allowed out of the corner, he deactivated one his lightsabers. He kept he gaze at Qui-gon cold and sharp.
"Surrender Sith, you're cornered there's no where for you to go." Obi-wan snapped and Maul's eyes quickly went to Obi-wan. He quickly deactivated the other side of his lightsaber and sat down, but that isn't what surprised the two Jedi.
"As you wish, master." The Zabrak spoke calmly with his head tilted down in obedience. That is what shocked Qui-gon and Obi-wan.
"Master?!" Obi-wan said shocked taking a few steps back from the Sith.
"Yes. You have defeated my old master, in which makes you my new master. I pledge myself to you master, what ever you wish, I shall do." The Zabrak spoke calmly.
"What do you mean Sith?" Qui-gon asked and received a dark glare and growl from the Zabrak.
"Answer him." Obi-wan demanded and the Zabrak's eyes quickly went to Obi-wan and he spoke as if he never growled.
"In the Sith code, if the apprentice were to kill their master, they would become the master. Although if one, that was not the apprentice, was to kill the master, the apprentice is forced to serve the slayer of their former master." The Zabrak spoke as if he was reading it from a book. Qui-gon pulled Obi-wan away from the Zabrak.
"I think he may be telling us the truth Obi-wan." Qui-gon whispered to Obi-wan.
"How could you say that Master? He is a Sith! They would lie and deceive just to make sure they live." Obi-wan argued quietly with his Master.
"Did you see the way he was as we cornered him here? He didn't try to fight you at all. Your lightsabers hardly touched at all." Qui-gon commented
"It could be a complete ruse." Obi-wan argued back.
"Than why hasn't he stabbed you through yet?" Qui-gon asked confusing Obi-wan until the padawan turned around. He had his guard down the entire time as he was talking to his Master with his back completely to the Sith apprentice, who still sat there in the corner with his head tilted in obedience.
"It could be a trick, until we are separated." Obi-wan argued back.
"Try talking to him until the others come." Qui-gon suggested as he deactivated his lightsaber. Obi-wan couldn't believe what he was hearing, but if the Zabrak was telling the truth even part of it, Obi-wan had to hear it.
