In the Sith-raised au how does Anakin react to Maul being revived and going to make a criminal empire?

Does he feel betrayed that Maul would not come back/betray Palpatine’s plan

Or does he think of joining Mail but decides against it

Or does Maul try and fail to convince Anakin to join crimson dawn

Well, first I think I have to explain that in this AU, Obi-Wan didn't manage to -seemingly- kill Maul in TPM; (but Maul ended wounded enough for him to be forced to flee).

Alas, it isn't until several years laters, when Anakin and Maul have already developed some sort of...bond, that Obi-Wan -apparently- kills Maul, which is why Anakin hates Obi-Wan in this universe lol.

That said, I explained here a little more how their dynamic is; but when Maul finally shows again at first AnakinVader is mostly overjoyed to find his evil big bro alive,,,and then Maul just tries to kill him, which Vader barely manages to survive and now that hurts.

But also, they were raised as sith and thus under the pretense that eventually only two would remain. Maul did had some mild hope that the two sith remaining would be himself and Vader; but Vader is hm, clearly a bit too loyal to Sidious and Dooku since, after all, they raised him, and his loyalty is his strong suit. Problem with Vader boy is that he would rather have the little sith group remain alive, he's too indecisive and divided to make a choice unless he's pushed to the edge; which is why Maul decides that the best course of action is just to kill him.

Vader doesn't feel as betrayed about the murder attempt, actually, because his fucked up mind sees murder to be better than being abandoned. And from his POV Maul left him all alone with Dooku and Sidious, who are just constantly tormenting him, like Maul was the closest to genuine comfort, in fact at times if it hadn't been for Maul is probably little Ani would have died.

So his issue is precisely that; Maul leaving him all alone with their awful parents and not even a "hey, vader, wanna join my new crime group? we all are still evil but you might escape the constant torture"; not that he tried to ask either (but to be fair, the murder attempt seems like a fairly reasonable motive to believe you aren't wanted).

In a very fucked up way that only reinforces Vader's idea that he only truly has Sidious, like the only person that really won't leave him. oof
