What if?: One Death

Tension

Obi-wan groaned and opened his eyes.  He could hardly see through the thick green bacta. He could hardly remember what happened. All he remembered was Maul looking as frightened as a youngling in front of its death. He looked around trying to see if anyone else was in any other bacta tanks, but he was the only one in a tank. He looked down to see the reason he was in the tank. A large scar ran across his entire chest and to his right shoulder. He suddenly felt like he was being lifted out of the tank. He coughed a bit once he was fully out.
"Are you alright Obi-wan?" A familiar voice spoke
"Master Qui-gon." Obi-wan said happily
"It's just Qui-gon now, Obi-wan, we are both knights now. How do you feel does anything hurt?" Qui-gon asked worriedly and Obi-wan moved his arm. It had felt really stiff and sore.
"No, it's just stiff and sore." Obi-wan replied as Qui-gon helped him to the examination table. "How long was I out?"
"About three or four days." Qui-gon replied
"Where's Maul? Is he hurt?"
"He attacked Master Windu. We haven't been able to get the story from either Maul or Master Windu."
"I'm not surprised that Maul attacked him. Master Windu knows that Maul has no control of his personalities. He felt Maul shift and he kept his lightsaber at Maul's throat. If I didn't block him he would have killed Maul!" Obi-wan raised his voice
"Calm yourself Obi-wan. You are a knight now, no longer a padawan." Qui-gon warned his old padawan.
"Maul must of attacked him thinking Master Windu was trying to kill me." Obi-wan thought out loud.
"Than it is too dangerous in keeping him near you." Qui-gon sighed
"What! You can't do that to me anymore Qui-gon I'm not your padawan anymore!" Obi-wan snapped
"But I can report this to the Council. Obi-wan, I do not want you to get hurt. You nearly lost your arm and your life! Master Windu too. He still hasn't woken up yet." Qui-gon started to lose his patience and Obi-wan picked up his tunic and robe.
"Where do you think you're going?" Qui-gon asked trying to stay calm.
"I'm going to see Maul and there's nothing you can do to stop me Qui-gon. Go to Council I don't care. I will make sure no one hurts Maul. I know I can help him and he wants the help. He just needs to learn how to control himself." Obi-wan said putting his tunic on.
"And you know how to help him? You know how to keep his personalities under control?" Qui-gon asked as his patience wore thinner
"No I don't and no one else here knows how to either! But I seem to be the only one who is willing to help him. So I'm going to help him. The right way isn't always the easy way Qui-gon. You and the Jedi taught me that." Obi-wan said putting his robe on and leaving Qui-gon in the room alone.
