Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Malak and Bastila
A line of crimson fire was drawn across Kit Fisto's chest as the the great Master fell, joining his Jedi allies in the afterlife. A tall figure stood towering over the Nautolan's body, as a blade of fire was withdrawn into its intricately designed hilt. A young woman with striking features stood near him, foot resting on the corpse of a Zabrak Jedi, a hole burned through his stomach. Nearby lay a decapacitated Itkotchi Master, his horns cloven in to by a blade that was golden like the noon sun. And sprawled over his elaborate senatorial desk was the body of the would-be Emperor, the Dark Lord Sidious, whose Sith lighning had been turned upon himself by a young Jedi's last act of defiance against the Darkness. Of course, the two beings standing in the Chamber couldn't let him live; he possessed far too much power and presented too great of a threat. The young, curly haired Jedi's blue blade had been extinguished along with his life by the black-clad woman's golden blades.
Across the hall, Master Windu struggled to hold on to a ledge outside the rooms shattered window. Anakin, in an act of both defiance and valiance shown by few, had leapt in front of the Jedi Master and shoved him out the broken window, keeping him from killing the Sith Lord. He however, killed the Dark one himself. Summoning the Force into himself, he had thrown the Dark Lord into his chamber, shattering his back on his desk. The Dark Lord had fired one last, desperate volley of lightning while nearly paralyzed on the floor, but it was deflected back into his heart by a blade as blue as the sky. The Korun Master hanging of the ledge had been there for some time, struggling to regain his energy and get back up. He had heard screams that belonged to his fellow Jedi, who had been thrown aside like rag dolls by the Emperor. Then, he heard the bloodcurdling sound of death, as Anakin had fell from the window, a look of pain, surprise, and sorrow on his face as his body fell to the ground below, cloven in two. But Mace didn't know what had happened. He'd seen the Emperor's death, but had slipped to a lower ledge afterwards. What Dark Creature could be behind those walls, through that mirror?
Suddenly he heard the roar of a ion-driven engine, and turned slightly to see Obi-Wan behind him in an airspeeder. The Jedi Master floated under him, and Mace dropped on top of the speeder. He pointed up, and Obi Wan steadily raised the ship until it was parallel to the window. Mace leapt into the building, and turning around, saw Kenobi engage the repulsorlifts to park the craft in the air as he followed Mace in. Mace picked his lightsaber from the floor and ignited it, as Obi Wan did the same. And a moment later, Palpatine's desk flew through the doors from across the hallway, just barely missing the Jedi pair as their superhuman reflexes threw them to the ground, out of harms way. The desk slammed into the hovering ship outside, igniting the engine and causing the ship to explode in a ball of fire. As the Jedi stood up shakily, two tall, dark forms entered the room. They pulled out their lightsabers, the taller, masculine form igniting a crimson blade, as the lean, purely feminine form's lightsaber blade glowed golden, it's shining blade extruding from a hilt almost twice the normal length. Both Jedi and Sith exchanged flourishes and salutes respective ot their forms of combat forms. And the next second they flew at eachother, blades of gold, crimson, cyan, and violet flashing faster than the eye could see. The battle had begun.

Well, a Sith Bastila will be obnoxious for Obi-Wan, but his defense should hold, if only for a time. Malak, however, is an ancient Sith and almost as cool but definately stronger than Mace. It depends on if Obi-Wan can successfully eliminate or disable Bastila in time to help Mace with Malak. And even then I can't say if both the Jedi will be walking out alive.

I agree.
I think it's all but impossible for both Jedi to come out of this alive. But I think Obi-Wan's Soresu would allow him to get the leg up on Bastila. She's pretty arrogant herself, much like Anakin, and might present a weakness for Obi-Wan to exploit.
Also, as I've said, I think Malak could defeat Mace, but it wouldn't happen immediately. I think Obi-Wan might be able to exploit a weakness in Bastila by then, but if not, the Jedi are gone.

Mace has the power to hold of against Malak, as for kenobi, he is always lucky, and bastilla might pull sometihng stupid, which gives obi wan the chance to finish him. This is debatable however, where is the setting?

Did you read the that three paragraph work of art called the backdrop? Just kidding lol. It takes place in the same place that Palpatine fought the Jedi Masters. Also, the outside is accessible, not to mention the bodies of multiple people, and debris, which can be used to an advantage.
Please read the story in the beginning. I put effort into that man, EFFORT!!!!

Erm...well...
Mace and Obi-Wan take this.
Obi-Wan is hell of a lightsaber duelist when he is on his own at least in ROTS times. Compare his fight with Dooku (together with Anakin) and than take the fight vs Anakin when he is on his own. Bastila is a Padawan (!) and I give her exactly zero chance against a Jedi Master on council level who has mastered form III, has 3 years of frontline experience (clone wars), survived Maul + Dooku and defeated Anakin.
Mace is just a phenomenon when it comes to lightsaber combat. He invented Vaapad when he was 13 years old, reached council level when he was 28. He also posesses a lot of frontline experience (clone wars) and combat experience from other missions. I'm quite sure that he can take Malak on his own.
At least Obi-Wan will kill Bastila while Mace and Malak are still fighting and then join Mace. Mace + Obi-Wan are just too much for Malak. Jedi win.

Bastila is not a Padawan she is a knight, and she thought she was close to becoming a Master, and I would not be surprised by it. She has the power and the experience, she would have seen a lot of important battles and probably fought a few times against Dark Jedi before she met Revan too because of her battle meditation.
She has fought a long time. When she serves Malak she does seem arrogant like she is all powerful but she knows when she has lost and she is no fool. Her fight against Obi Wan would take some time but I do not think that Obi Wan will kill her fast if at all.
At the same time you have Malak and Mace fighting, Malak will win that eventually. I don't know how fast compared to the other fight but I think we can say he would do it in a reasonable amount of time.
If Obi Wan can kill Bastila before Malak defeats Mace he has a chance, but Bastila will throw those corpses at the debris at Obi Wan everytime Obi gets an edge so I don't think he will be able to do that.

I agree with Fishy's last statement. I do think that Obi-Wan could take Bastila, if after a rather grueling duel. Bastila's pretty strong, but Obi-Wan's most likely a better swordsman, and definetely a more controlled and calm one. I've already expressed my opinions on Mace and Malak on like, the past six threads.

I say Obi-Wan and Mace take this one. Either of them can take Bastila and Mace could use his shatterpoint ability and/or his Vapaad on Malak so Kenobi and Windu win, without any casualties.

I think this is a pretty close fight. Mace would have a tough time with Malak and Obi would have a fairly tough time with Bastila. Bastila's a lot tougher IMO than most give her credit for and she could hold her own but in the end I think Obi would take this. Mace I believe would eventually defeat Malak on his own but with Obi's help, Malak would go down quick.

Meh. A few things:
- Nai, Mace's accomplishments are nice, but read Shatterpoint and Labyrinth of Evil and then base your opinion off of him in action at the HEIGHT of his abilities. He may have invented Vaapad, but that is not the proverbial Golden Ticket to whupass. Remember that.
- With Obi-Wan: remember that Nick Gillard, the man responsible for the lightsaber duels in the PT, stated that Form III was heavy on defense and blaster bolt reflection, using close movements with little effort. He also said in effect that a form III master would be virtually impervious to attack. However, neither would this master be able to neccessarily gain the advantage. And since we don't know if Bastila is heavy on Juyo, Makashi, or whatever, we can't say for certain just how close they would be in combat. But keep in mind the FMV of Bastila in KOTOR I, on Revan's flagship. She singlehandedly destroys a dark jedi just using the single blade of her lightsaber. She is far from some mere padawan and an amatuer. And lastly, Bastila along with Malak has had a multitude of experience versus other Force using, lightsaber wielding foes with the intent to kill (ANd not some academy training session) for several years.
- Lastly, Shatterpoint does NOT make Mace Windu god. Remember that. Matthew Stover, author of Shatterpoint and the resident expert on the ability, is clear to point out that, while Mace has the natural ability to sense weak points in things via the Force, he is still a mortal man and can be defeated. The usual logic around here involves Vaapad>All else. Get over it... Vaapad is a rare and new fighting style, but it is, again, not the Golden Ticket to whupass.
