"Nooo!" Obi-Wan cried as his Master fell to the ground, impaled by the Sith's blade. The energy shields cycled again, and he was running through the last barrier, lightsaber aloft and blazing.

"Yesssss," Maul hissed. "Goooood."

Obi-Wan skidded to a halt. "Huh?"

Maul smiled, showing a full display of half-rotted teeth. "I said, 'Yessss. Goooood.'"

"Well, yes, I heard that. But you do realize I'm coming in here to kill you?" Obi-Wan swung his saber back, preparing for the final strike.

Maul laughed, and made no move to defend himself.

Obi-Wan stopped with the blade of his saber humming close to Maul's throat. "You will die," he growled. "Slowly, painfully, for what you did to my my Master."

"Good," Maul cackled. "Give in to your hate. You might even be my Master's next apprentice, if you're good enough."

"I will never turn to the Dark Side!"

Maul smiled broadly.

Obi-Wan stopped and cocked his head. "And, Force, have you heard of dental hygeine?"

Maul stopped smiling. "No. Only Jedi floss."

"...Sith don't have to floss?" Obi-Wan said, wavering.

"Nope. Not even after we eat chocolate."

"........." Obi-Wan faltered further. "Chocolate?"

"Yep." Maul pulled out a candy bar, pure Godiva chocolate, and dangled it in front of Obi-Wan.

"Chocky!" Obi-Wan dove for the chocolate bar.

Maul pulled it out of the way, cackling. "Only for the Dark Side."

Obi-Wan whimpered.

"You know you want it..."

Obi-Wan whimpered again.

"Mmmm...chocolate..." Maul made a show of peeling back the wrapper. "The Temple serves brussel sprouts for dessert, doesn't it?"

Obi-Wan looked at Qui-Gon, who extended a hand to him and made choking noises that sort of resembled 'I lov...take care of the boy...'

"Your Master brought that upon himself," Maul said snidely.

"Sorry," Obi-Wan said to Qui-Gon. "You had your chance. I'm going with the Sith."

"...what if...I...dip...Anakin...in...chocolate?"

"Ew."

"...Jar-Jar?"

"Double-ew!"

"...Yoda?"

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, drew his lightsaber, and swung.

"...Jabb--ack!"

Obi-Wan looked up at Maul, ignoring his now-very-dead Master. "Chocolate now? Please? I mean, I struck my Master down and everything."

Maul smiled secretly and held out the chocolate bar. "Welcome to the Dark Side," he said, but Obi was too busy munching to hear.
