Not for a Sith--Darth Maul (written with Isildurs_Bane)

It was originally Isildur's idea to write a Darth Maul fic, but I kinda stole it from him and used my own ideas. He ended up doing most of the writing, anyway.
Here it is:






The deadly electron field vanished and in a microsecond, an even deadlier rod of pure energy chopped down toward Darth Maul?s head. He parried with his left Sith blade and counterattacked with a sweeping slash toward Obi-Wan?s midsection. Kenobi blocked the blow and back-flipped over the melting pit, the deep, gaping maw that was one of the power shafts in the Theed royal palace. Before the Jedi could fully regain himself, Maul was on him, attacking mercilessly with two blades. The Sith swung, aiming for Obi-Wan?s head. Obi-Wan ducked and instead of springing back up, he side-kicked Maul from a crouching position and sidestepped to the left. Maul swung again where Obi-Wan had been. The sky-blue blade whipped down on Maul?s double handle, slicing it in half and taking out the right blade?s power cell. Maul lost his balance for a full second, but eluded the searching lightsaber and renewed his attack with a single crimson blade. Obi-Wan struck at Maul?s head and succeeded in shearing off his leftmost horn.

Maul, enraged, attacked with a complex series of loops and lunges, letting the dark side course through his fearsome body. Obi-Wan jumped back to avoid a kick to the face, and fell right into the melting pit. He dropped his lightsaber to grab onto a tiny, slippery knob that jutted out from the side of the chasm. Maul deactivated his lightsaber and glowered down, victorious. The Jedi was in the most desperate situation imaginable; if Darth Maul didn?t kill him, his hands would.

A slight tremor rippled through the Force. Maul glanced upward. Several Neimoidians had died, and the computer that dictated their android army was probably destroyed.

Suddenly there was a huge surge in the Force. Maul ignited his saber... but it was too late. A green saber blade bisected him at the waist. The Jedi had caught him off guard.

Obi-Wan watched just long enough to see the black-and-red body disappear into the pit before running to his fallen master.

But deep within Darth Maul?s heart, the dark side still lived. The Jedi were skilled, but not skilled enough. Not for a Sith.
