@jedifest Daily Stocking, Dec. 14: Darth Maul punching Sidious in the face with all his might. As someone who loves Maul and hates Sidious you KNOW I’m onboard for this!

Weak.

Pathetic.

Failure.

Garbage.

His former Master hurled insults at him. It was nothing Maul hadn’t heard before, usually from himself. He hung in the air, feeling the burns, cuts, and bruising from their fight. 

Scum.

Useless.

Maul waited for his chance. His saberstaff was shattered along with his left arm, but the pain helped him focus. Pain. Hate. Rage. All the things Sidious had beaten into him; things deemed necessary in the forging of a weapon. But there was one thing about weapons the Sith Lord seemed to have forgotten.

At last Sidious dropped him. Maul bent before him, the picture of humility as he gathered his strength, hiding his intent behind a cloud of pain. Sidious stepped before him, awaiting his apology. Maul moved with unnatural speed and a strength born from years of abuse and Force training. The heel of his hand made a satisfying crunch as it drove the bastard’s nose- and parts of the surrounding bone- backward. Sidious himself was knocked off his feet, skidding to a stop several feet away.

Maul stood over the dead body of Sidious, bleeding, broken, gasping for air after the hardest fight of his life, and waited for the old Sith to open his eyes again. To somehow claw his way back to life through nothing but sheer and unrelenting hate. To return, so Maul could destroy him over and over and over until there was nothing of his former master left but a bloody smear on the ground.

“You’ve done it, brother,” Savage said as he approached, grasping his injured arm before using the Force to summon his pike back to his hand. “You’ve defeated him.”

“Yes,” Maul breathed with the faintest touch of disbelief, still waiting as the realization that he had succeeded finally settled itself into reality. Settled itself into the Force where it clung to him like a prize, dark and decadent and powerful. “Yes, I have.”

Before him lay the corpse of the man who’d raised him, trained him, forgotten and betrayed him.

And here Maul stood above it, the victor. The superior. The winner.

The survivor.

With the Force, Maul summoned his lightsaber to his palm and activated it with a violent snap-hiss, the crimson deep and burning and his to command. Then Maul bared his teeth in a furious, victorious grin, and lifted his blade.

“Yes. I. Have.”

This is the second part of a three-part drabble mini-series about Maul with all his might. You can find the first part here. I hope you enjoy!

Maul took advantage of his opening without hesitation, and despite the weakness of his broken mechanical leg, the agony of his body, the blood weeping from his wounds, the dark side of the Force was with him. Sidious was old. Sidious was weak.

And it was time for Maul to take his rightful place as the true Lord of the Sith.

Faint awareness seemed to return to Sidious as he worked out of the daze Maul had left him in, but it was far too late. With a roar, Maul ran his lightsaber through the old Sith’s body while at the same time lifting the deceptively solid elderly man with straining, screaming muscles before throwing him with all his might off the balcony to the tiled ground below. While Sidious’ body was still in the air, Maul followed through with a Force shove, powering through what weak defenses the old Sith had futilely thought to save himself with.

The sound of the stone tiles below cracking, of Sidious’ body breaking, of his final gasps of agony as Maul used the Force to spear his former master’s body with the Sith’s own lightsabers, Maul’s lightsaber, Savage’s pike, and the darksaber with all his might filled the air.

Maul was bleeding. A quarter of his horns smoked from where Sidious had sliced through them with one of his blades, and one of his mechanical legs threatened to give out with every step he took. Pain coursed through his body. Savage lingered at the sidelines waiting for an opening which would never come while clutching at the wound he Sith Lord had dealt him. Unhelpful. Useless.

But none of that mattered while Sidious stood before him with a look of utter contempt, one which morphed into a crumpled grimace of pain as Maul clenched a fist and plowed it with all his might into his former master’s face. Beneath Maul’s knuckles, he felt the old Sith’s delicate bones shatter. Blood flowed from his nose, and Maul was pleased to see cold yellow eyes flicker with disorientation.

For each character/pairing request you submit, please provide a ONE-WORD prompt. You can still specify a scenario/trope/etc to go with the prompt if you want. Examples: Kylux - “frostbite” - Soulmate AU; Anidala - “forgiveness” - setting, Episode III before Anakin’s fall; Leia and Breha Organa - “mistake” - hurt/comfort while Leia is still a child. Please send us an ask if you have a request you’re not sure about.
