Battle Four
Mace Windu could sense the others approaching. From his left he saw Master Yoda. From his right he saw Master Ki-Adi Mundi. And from behind him, approached Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He bowed respectfully to Master Yoda and smiled when he saw all his old friends.
Yoda: Master Windu. Good to see you, it is.
Windu: I wish I could say the same. The Sith I have faced in this place was disguised as a Jedi. I have reason to believe that there is at least one traitor among you.
Jinn: I don't sense anything. I don't have any reason to think that one of you is more a Sith than the other.
Mundi: The Jedi I battled last night turned out to be a Sith as well.
Yoda: What happened to Master Obi-wan, hmmm?
Windu: He was disguised as a Sith, and so I attacked him.
Mundi: You killed Master Kenobi?
Windu said nothing, but he looked at Mundi with suspicion. Didn't he just say that Kenobi was disguised as a Sith? Did he stutter? Furthermore, why was Qui-gon still standing behind him? Windu decided that now was the time to take precautions. He started to move forward, but just then, Master Mundi drew his blue lightsaber. In a flash, Windu pulled out his purple blade. In response, Yoda and Qui-gon Jinn drew their green lightsabers.
Yoda: Take precautions we must, Master Windu. The Dark Side I sense in you...
The three Jedi advanced on Master Windu, and he immediately took to the air with a Force-assisted leap, landing on an upper platform. As he looked down, he saw the section of catwalk with the other Jedi begin to shudder, and tear completely apart from the rest of the structure, and then rise slowly towards Windu. Windu knew this would be the battle of his life, and he steeled himself for the assault. When the levitating platform arrived, the three Jedi walked off of it calmly with their blades drawn.
Windu wasted no time. He knew there was no escape from this place and attempting to retreat would only cause him to lose the initiative. First he charged towards Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and used the inner darkness of Form VII to gain a sudden burst of Fury. His weapon connected with Jinn's, and the two master swordsmen battled it out, as the other Jedi stood at watched. The strength and speed of Windu at his prime was utterly overpowering. Qui-gon Jinn was a master swordsman but he was not prepared for this fight; he did not seem to be using his full power.
Windu struck downwards in a vertical slice, and the sheer force of the blow caused Jinn's arms to buckle from the stress of blocking it horizontally, forcing Jinn's blade to be knocked deep into the platform, and get stuck. Then Windu brought his blade upwards and smashed the hilt of it into Jinn's face, which knocked him backwards and caused him to drop his blade. His disguise seemed to flicker, and then the entire mirage vanished. Beneath the deception was none other than Darth Malak. Windu smirked victoriously and glanced at the other Jedi, who stood there watching with great intent.
Mundi: Impressive. But if you are truly a Jedi you should defeat this Sith and prove which side of the Force you serve.
Windu looked back at Darth Malak, who stood and drew a red lightsaber. Undeterred, Mace Windu moved quickly forward and prepared to defeat the Sith Lord himself, purple lightsaber blazing through the darkness, slashing at Lord Malak with great skill and speed. The Sith lord still seemed to be holding back somehow, and after only minutes of fighting, Windu was able to overpower him and knock his other lightsaber away, and kick him in the face, knocking Malak onto his back, with Windu holding his saber menacingly over his fallen opponent.
Mundi: What are you waiting for, Jedi? Kill him.
Windu looked back at Ki-Adi Mundi with a piercing stare. Those were not the words of a Jedi Master. Behind him, Darth Malak had gotten up, and from his cloak he had produced a vicious looking dagger made of some kind of dark metal. Windu delivered a roundhouse kick to the jaw, and the Sith Lord went flying off of the platform and into the abyss. Upon completing the maneuver, Windu saw Mundi approaching, blade drawn.
Mundi: Apparently you don't know how to follow orders. You're certainly not on our side if you won't kill a Sith.
Windu sneered back at Mundi, sensing the Dark Side had befallen him. He was no Jedi. And Mundi smirked right back and dropped his facade. He was Darth Sion, the Lord of Pain.
Windu charged to meet this new Sith Lord and once again, his lightsaber skills were second to none. With a flurry of spinning slices and slashes, parries and thrusts, Windu took Darth Sion to lightsaber training school and taught him who the real master of the sword was. Tripping the Sith Lord, and knocking the fool's lightsaber from his grip, he prepared to finish him off, Samuel L. Jackson style. Windu must have sensed something coming, and so instead of finishing off his opponent, he dropped to the floor and barely missed being decapitated by a small green blur.
He rolled to his feet and saw Master Yoda coming after him... assaulting him from almost every direction with a blur of spinning rage and power. Now this time, Master Windu surely had met his match, for he could not hit the moving target who was so skilled in defense. Blades clashed faster than the eye could see, and the grating of energy swords caused massive sparks... errant blade swings causing severe damage to the platform itself... Yoda's assault more ferocious than Windu had ever seen.
Summoning Fury with all his power, Master Windu was just able to keep up with Yoda, and met his blade blow for blow and even began to anticipate his movements. Although the small master was able to hop from platform to platform and spin in mid-air, tossing more killing blows in Windu's direction than he cared to count, each of them was deflected, and he even managed to summon the concentration to use a well-timed Force Push while Yoda was in mid-leap, causing him to be tossed against a steel girder with great velocity.
Windu was shaken from using so much of his power so quickly, but it appears these "Jedi" had never faced anyone nearly as badass as Mace Windu. He was just about to hunt down the other two Sith to make sure they did not escape, but as he turned around he noticed both of them were blocking his path, lightsabers drawn.
Sion and Malak... both with red lightsabers... Surely, Windu thought, someone was playing a joke on him. This was too easy. No one could match the fury and power of Samuel L. Jackson with his most awesome purple lightsaber. But then, he heard the telltale sounds of three more lightsabers being drawn just behind him, where Yoda had been thrown.
Now, Master Windu was surprised. There stood Darth Traya... holding a green lightsaber, and hovering around her were three more purple lightsabers. Mace had a look of utter disbelief on his face... Now the REAL BATTLE WOULD BEGIN!!!
Now Windu had two Lords of the Sith on one side, and another Fallen Jedi on the other, all overflowing with the Dark Side of the Force. Windu had already expended much of his energy, and knew there was no way to take on all of them at once, so he moved towards the lesser Sith Lords and began battling them one versus two, bashing his lightsaber into each red saber blade successively, using every last bit of his remaining Force Fury. Able to break through, he moved rapidly down the corridor, deflecting the blows of his attackers, and fighting heroically. The two Sith Lords moved to either side of him, and tried to pin him down, but Master Windu kicked Malak in the chest and turned to face Darth Sion. However, Sion was able to hold off Windu just long enough for Malak to return and start battling him again. Worse still, Darth Traya and her four lightsaber blades were approaching, and Windu saw she had a look of unmitigated evil on her face.
Out of desperation, Windu managed to sever the hand of Darth Sion and deliver a roundhouse kick to his damaged eye, sending him sliding down the uneven walkway. Then he knocked the lighsaber out of Malak's hands and severed both his legs in one smooth motion, and kicked the Sith Lord in the teeth when he fell to the ground, causing blood to spurt from his mouth and pool onto the cold metallic surface. He turned just in time to meet the first of the many lightsabers spinning towards him, and he was only just able to deflect them all, one at a time, as Traya advanced, spinning her green blade with malicious glee. Mace Windu knew that this was it; the final battle between himself and the Sith Lords... there was only one option: Victory.
He reached out with his mind and looked deep inside the psyche of Darth Traya... and he also felt the anger of Darth Malak and the pain of Darth Sion. Using this Dark Side leverage, and his immense knowledge of the Light Side of the Force, he briefly attained a level of Force Mastery never before seen by any Jedi in existence, and his speed and strength increased exponentially with every strike, turning his whole body a glowing purplish white, striking at Darth Traya as if the Force itself had chosen him to be the sole representative of the Light Side.
He fought with brilliance, and the sword battle was epic, and he managed to destroy two of the purple blades in mid-air and kick Darth Traya in the chest, sending her staggering, and causing her to lose her concentration briefly and drop the third levitating purple blade. Windu charged forward for the killing blow, but Traya blocked with her green lightsaber and summoned the other purple one to her hand, and Windu had to use Force Push to get her out of striking range. As he battled Darth Traya, he could see that the old woman was beginning to weaken, and he saw that he was once again able to see past the present and he saw the future... but what he saw was something terrifying... it was nothing but pain and agony coming from all directions.
He tried to concentrate but when he focused too much on the future, he lost sight of the present. Darth Sion fired Force Lightning at Windu with his remaining hand, which Windu blocked with his lightsaber. Then he saw Darth Malak, without his legs, using the force to levitate... coming closer with his red blade to destroy Windu, and he hurled the saber at the Jedi who had to move his own blade to deflect it. Sion fired more Force Lightning at Windu and it brought him to his knees, and just then Darth Traya had regained her focus and send all three purple blades into Master Windu's prone body, each impaling him through the torso.
Traya took her green lightsaber, and cackling with hatred and glee, she sliced off Master Windu's head.
