| Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter - Part 3 |
Page 3 of 4 Obi-Wan finds the crash site of Darsha's first sky car where he learns about another recent explosion and heads off to investigate the crash site. The more he learns the more uneasy he gets especially when learns of the recent deaths of a bounty hunter and a Hutt that could possibly be related.Darsha uses the Force to save Lorn and I-Five helps them make their escape. Lorn remembers a favor that is owed to him by Tuden Sal and hopes that instead of going to the Jedi Temple, Tuden Sal will be able to help he I-Five get off the planet. They enter an enormous room with a bottomless pit and a rather suspect looking bridge as the only way across. As the group talks, Darsha learns that Lorn once worked in the Jedi Temple and his soon was taken from him there to study and thus Lorn was fired. I-Five and Lorn stop short when Darsha tells them Maul is coming up behind them, but they are actually focused on gigantic creature that is rising from the pit. Neither Darsha nor Maul can sense the monster known as a taozin. They are trapped between the taozin, the sith, and a bottomless pit! I-Five flings the three of them over the side and holds on to them and Darsha cuts the support strand and they swing over to the side of the room. Maul follows their lead, but is now stuck on the opposite side of the cavern. Obi-Wan heads into a tavern where he is jumped by several people. He fights them off, and meets a man named Dal Perhi who says the two can help each other out. He takes Kenobi to the Hutt's office and he says the wounds do appear to be from a lightsaber. Darsha and the others make it out of the tunnels where they run into the Raptors again, but this time they easily defeat the gang. They search the bodies for anything they can scavenge. I-Five finds a com link, but hides it from Darsha to help aid their escape later on. Lorn almost begins to feel bad about ditching her, as he has begun to grow fond of the padawan. Maul also makes it outside and hijacks a Republic police vehicle and uses the holocams on it to help locate Lorn. Just as Darsha, Lorn, and I-Five are about to reach the upper levels, Maul corners them. Lorn and I-Five are separated from them and the Sith and Jedi begin their duel. Maul is impressed by her skill, but both know the outcome is inevitable. As I-Five explains that Darsha is buying time with her life, he sets up the carbonite freezing chamber they are in to hopefully prolong their life (despite protests from Lorn). With thoughts of Darsha on this mind, the two enter the chamber and activate it. Darsha knows she is outmatched and as she is cut down she throws her lightsaber at some nearby canisters that cause a huge explosion. Maul escapes and sense no remaining life forms inside. His mission is complete. Obi-Wan arrives at the hijacked police cruiser and decides this matter is far beyond the reach of just one Jedi padawan. He tells the officers he'll be reporting the matter to the Council. Maul contacts Sidious who says he is already aware the the plan has been successful and that stealth is of utmost importance as their plan is nearly ready to begin. Obi-Wan follows the trail of another explosion where he finds Darsha's melted lightsaber and knows her fate has been sealed. Lorn awakes from the carbonite and I-Five fills him in on the details. They are picked up by Tuden Sal, but as they leave they spot Maul and decide to follow him. He arrives at his ship and Lorn says he plans to follow Maul. I-Five gives Lorn a blob of taozin flesh in hopes that it will mask Lorn from the Sith. The droid plans on going along, but Lorn switches him off and tells Tuden Sal to take him to the Jedi to give them his information. Lorn follows Maul to a station orbiting the planet where Maul expects to meet with Sidious and hand over the holocron. Tuden Sal looks over I-Five and makes plans to wipe his memory and keep the droid for himself. Inside the station, Lorn is able to sneak up behind Maul with his presence masked and stun him and grab the holocron. Maul wakes up and cuts off his hand. Lorn gets through the door and seals himself off from the Sith. He reaches an upper level and finds several Republic guards and Senators. He recognizes one of the Senators and hands over the the holocron to him and Senator Palpatine promises to give it to the Jedi. Obi-Wan returns to the Temple and finds it in an uproar. Qui-Gon tells him that Naboo has just been blockaded by the Trade Federation and the two of them are being sent to negotiate. His report will have to wait. Lorn is in a hotel room recovering from his ordeal and has been told that he'll be set up with a stipend. When he goes to leave, however, Darth Maul is waiting for him and kills him. |
