Darth Timoris
To err is human, to forgive divine. And I'm no god
They landed in the hangar. A glance around as they landed took in the central plaza. Waterfalls thundered nearby. Their spray not doubt cools the air. The plaza is full of people. The fine crafts of Naboo are well known, the musicians, the food sellers, all the pleasures that could be bought or traded for in the centre of the great city.
But they were not there for any of that.
Darth Timoris was as aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Maul as any Sith. She had some of his memories implanted into her head for one. As an Apprentice, he was worthy, but he was never flexible. He focused on the Jedi for personal revenge. He had it drilled by way of a single-mindedness into him from an early age. His Master did not expect it would become a failing. But it did. And here was the place it became apparent.
The battle had began in the hangar they were in now. Timoris wore her hood up, they did not want to draw unnecessary attention. She could picture where he activated his double-ended lightsaber. In his hands this weapon was flawless - or so he thought.
He made the Jedi run. They had to use everything they knew and more to meet his skill. They went at him, two on one, and they could not defeat him.
The battle raged out of the hangar and into the Theed main power generator – which is the direction they now walked. It is still built with catwalks that run around many levels. Now they were alone, walking the route that became a death fight.
Maul was at his peak when he fought the Jedi. His error was of miscalculation, not weakness. A mental failing, not a physical one.
At last the battle reached a hallway of deadly laser walls. They stood there now. The force fields had separated the Jedi from Maul, and from each other. They had to wait until the walls retracted before engaging in the next stage of the battle.
And so the two Sith progressed slowly, one section at a time.
Finally they reached the spot Qui-Gon Jinn fell. As did Maul.
“Are you ready?” It was the first time she spoke to her Acolyte since they landed.
