What if?: One Death

There is a conseqence.

Once Maul stops crying he looks up at Obi-wan and the Jedi leads him over to the bed. They both sit on the bed and Maul leans against Obi-wan.
"Maul." Obi-wan spoke looking down at the Zabrak.
"Yes?" Maul looked up at Obi-wan with red sore eyes from crying.
"You said you would feel better if there was a training bond?" Obi-wan asked and Maul was silent for a moment. He only need the bond because his master was gone all the time. Still Maul nodded.
"Do you want the bond?" Obi-wan asked and Maul was silent again. If he said yes he would officially be Obi-wan's apprentice and he would be a Jedi.
"Will it be allowed by the others? Won't you get in trouble Master?" Maul asked
"They won't like it, but I don't care anymore. You shouldn't care about what they think. Do you want the bond Maul?" Obi-wan kept asking
"Yes." Maul said looking into Obi-wan's eyes, with the bond they would know where each other are at all times and if they got hurt. They both got into a meditative position.

Qui-gon first stopped by the Council room to see Master Yoda, Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi Mundi and Eeth Koth.
"Masters." Qui-gon caught their attention with a sad look on his face.
"Qui-gon, something wrong there is?" Yoda spoke up.
"Yes, I fear that the Sith Apprentice is corrupting Obi-wan." Qui-gon reported
"Are you sure? The Sith Apprentice seemed to be unable to make a choice on his own." Master Mundi commented
"Ever since the he woke up from the bacta, he seem different. He didn't stop asking for Maul only asking if he was okay. When I told him that Maul had attacked Master Windu, Obi-wan said that it was to be expected that Maul attacked since Obi-wan was hurt. Than when I told him that he needed to stay away from Maul he stated that since I was no longer his master I couldn't tell him what to do. He than left to see Maul. I watched from the recording room the encounter between the two. Maul had pushed Obi-wan to the wall, the guards and I thought Maul was going to hurt Obi-wan until Maul took off Obi-wan's robe and tunic. He was whining as he examined Obi-wan's scar. When Obi-wan winced Maul was afraid to touch the scar until Obi-wan had reassured him that it was fine. Than Maul had asked him if he still wanted him, Obi-wan had made him promises." Qui-gon explained
"And this is on recording?" Kit Fisto asked
"The encounter between Maul and Obi-wan, yes." Qui-gon answered and the council member looked at each other.
"If they form any bond it could be dangerous for young Obi-wan, Iridonian Zabrak's are quite protective over their bonds unless they are the ones to severe it. Dathomiri's are known to be warriors and are quite possessive." Eeth Koth thought out loud
"So you're saying there's no hope for Obi-wan?!" Qui-gon asked
"Separation would be the only way, but doing that could also lead him to gain a hatred for us." Eeth explained
"A dark path, young Kenobi has chosen from wanting to rehabilitate Maul it seems. No other way, but the painful one." Yoda spoke up
"What do you mean Master Yoda?" Qui-gon asked his heart sinking at what this painful way is.
"Separate them we shall, but only for a little while. Convince young Obi-wan that Maul is more than what he is showing himself to be. More dark, corrupted, and hate filled than he shows young Kenobi." Yoda starts to explain
"Alright. How do we do that?" Qui-gon agrees to hear the rest of the plan. His stomach twists as he feels like he is betraying his old padawan. He knew Obi-wan only wanted to do good and if he had confronted Obi-wan and told him that Maul was changing him, Qui-gon knew Obi-wan say that nothing was wrong with him and start getting bad thoughts that would turn him against Qui-him even more, or in the best case scenario he would say that Maul doesn't know what he's doing and that he would try to resist it, but Qui-gon didn't want to encounter Obi-wan right after their previous altercation. Qui-gon just wanted his old Obi-wan back and could only wonder what would have happened if Maul and Sidious had both been killed. Their lives would have gone back to normal. There would be no Sith, except for this Plagueis that only Obi-wan and Master Windu saw so it could have been some hallucination, no Maul for Obi-wan to want to protect and no change in Obi-wan. Obi-wan would have peacefully became a Jedi Knight, and Anakin would be his padawan. There would be no dark side threat. Qui-gon sighed and only wished that version was true, but he knew it wasn't and that he was forced to face this arising threat in Obi-wan and Maul. Qui-gon had already lost two padawan's to the dark side. He didn't want to count Obi-wan as his third. If he lost Obi-wan, he wouldn't be able to train Anakin. His old master, Dooku, could possibly be right. Maybe he wasn't fit to train padawans.
