All of a sudden Obi-wan felt as if he was yanked from his mediation, from Maul's mind and back into his own body.
Obi-wan looked around the room and saw Master Mundi holding him back on the other side of the room. The way he held him back hurt hit shoulder and Obi-wan groaned in the pain.
"Master!" Maul shouted as he sensed Obi-wan's pain and was held back by Master Koth. Obi-wan sensed the child's persona had also been dragged to be in control of Maul's body. Obi-wan could hear the anger and distress in Maul's mind. Maul had tears running down his face as he struggled to escape from Master Koth's hold. Master Windu standing between them glaring at Maul.
"Master!" Maul called out again, Obi-wan could feel his fear radiating off of him and flooding the room.
"No, Maul stop! Don't fight him, you'll be fine. I promise you." Obi-wan quickly said and as soon as Maul heard Obi-wan said 'I promise you', he stopped struggling, but he's tears didn't cease.
"Master Mundi, let go of me your hurting my scar." Obi-wan said looking back at the Jedi Master who had agreed to help him rehabilitate Maul. Master Mundi released Obi-wan's right arm and everyone felt rapid shifts in Maul. Maul had growled deeply and struggled aggressively suddenly against Master Koth than he stopped struggling for a second and kept his eyes staring at Obi-wan's, than he began struggling a bit more and looking around the room, his body shook scared as his vision turned into a tunnel.
"Master." Maul called out looking around the room trying to find Obi-wan.
"Maul! Look at me!" Obi-wan struggled against Master Mundi and the Jedi Master grabbed his right arm back roughly causing the scar to bleed from also struggling. The tearing scar cause Obi-wan to cry out in pain.
"Let go of me!" Obi-wan cried out in pain
"Get him out of this room now!" Master Windu demanded and everyone felt as if the floor in the room had suddenly disappeared. They were all plummeted into a dark sea. Maul growled as his eyes focused in on Obi-wan and Master Mundi tried dragging Obi-wan through the thick air to the exit. It felt like they were being pulled back into the room.
Maul swiftly twisted his body through the thick air and threw Master Koth off of him. Master Koth crashed next to Master Windu. Master Windu had ignited his lightsaber, but when he tried to move to attack Maul, the thick air slowed down his movements.
"Maul!" Obi-wan shouted as the red Zabrak could only keep the thick air around one of the Jedi. Maul had panicked hearing Obi-wan call out for him. He had removed the thick air in his second of panic and saw Master Windu bringing his lightsaber down to strike Maul. Maul quickly dodged the attack and grabbed the Jedi Master's arm. Maul pulled Master Windu's arm over one of his shoulders than slammed the arm down on his shoulder, breaking the Jedi Master's elbow. Master Windu had dropped his lightsaber and Maul had snatched it up from the floor. Maul pushed Master Windu into the wall knocking the Jedi Master into unconsciousness.
Maul ran out of the room to Master Mundi who still had his hold on Obi-wan. He saw Obi-wan's shoulder bleeding more heavily. Maul snarled and ignited the purple lightsaber. Master Mundi had dropped Obi-wan and ignited his blue lightsaber to block Maul's attack. Before Master Mundi could prepare for something else Maul pushed him with the force sending the other Jedi Master flying to the other side of the room. Maul deactivated the lightsaber and connected it to his belt. He kneeled down to Obi-wan trying to think of what to do. Obi-wan looked up at Maul in pain as he felt the knowledge part of Maul take control for a split second than the other Maul took control back. The stubborn protective Maul quickly ripped pieces of his black robe off and tied one piece over Obi-wan's bleeding shoulder and under his armpit. The other piece wrapped over the bleeding shoulder and to the other armpit covering other parts of the scar that might be bleeding from. Maul looked around the room and spotted some bacta packs on the examination table. He quickly ran over and pocketed the bacta packs. Running back over to Obi-wan, he picked him up as gently as he could in the rush. He had the thick air in the security room slowing the non-force sensitive guards to a stop. If they were able to move, they barely would be moving an inch. The Temple and other Jedi had no idea of what just happened as Maul used the shadows of the Temple to escape the fortress-like building and into the cities of Coruscant with his wounded master in arms.
