A Master and his Apprentice

Ezra 25

Time skip. Some time after A New Hope.

Ezra grinned. Years had passed since he had become Maul's apprentice. They hadn't exactly joined the Rebellion but the master and apprentice helped them out every once in a while. Ezra had met Kanan's apprentice, apparently he was actually Obi-Wan's apprentice. His name was Luke Skywalker and Maul despised the master and apprentice with a passion. It was fun sparring with them. Obi-Wan and Maul bickered like old men (because they were) while Luke and Ezra exchanged stories of their adventures. The blonde boy was actually pretty nice...though every time he visited Ezra, Maul glared daggers at Luke. The Zabrak had taught Ezra how to use the DarkSide over the years of course but Ezra never forgot his Jedi training. He used both the Dark and the Light...Maul himself had said, "I feel an odd mixture of pride and terror...congratulations, Ezra! It makes me proud to see how far you've come." Right now, the human was besides Maul, watching a movie on the HoloNet. The Zabrak growled each time it talked about how aliens were inferior to humans (the movie was greatly approved by the Empire, but not by Thrawn). Ezra smiled and flicked a piece of popcorn at Maul's earring. The Zabrak flicked it back using the Force without even a glance at his apprentice. The human decided he wanted more of a reaction out of his master...so he dumped the entire bowl on Maul's head. The Zabrak let out a snarl, "You dare dump out buttery saltiness on my head?! Time for revenge, my apprentice." Ezra laughed at him. "Think you can catch me old man? You couldn't even kill Obi-Wan and you talked about how he tragically he cut you in half! You don't have the guts." Ezra was truly embracing his DarkSide. Maul tackled the human, playfully wrestling him to the floor. Once the young man was pinned, the Zabrak started to tickle him. Ezra laughed and cried. "Mercy! Please master, mercy!" The Zabrak chuckled, "You think you can just dump popcorn on me without consequences? You thought wrong, my apprentice." He said with a wicked grin. After many more minutes of revenge, Maul eventually let his apprentice go. Ezra smiled at the Zabrak. "That was pretty fun. What's gotten into you, master?" He asked. Maul sighed, "I've decided after many years of teamwork...it is time to let you be off on your own." Ezra stared at his master in surprise.

Oh man...this is almost over. One more chapter left I think, but don't worry! I'll write more stuff with these two dorks in the future, but I may need to take a break for a bit. Comments are always appreciated and thanks for reading so far!!!!
