Hey everyone! I'm back with a new chapter! Sorry for the delay I had to do some Star Wars research cause I want to make this an awesome story and therefore fully understand Star Wars as a whole. With that being said, let's begin!

Star Wars: A New Fairy

Chapter 3: Erza

Erza sat at her usual table that she alway sat at. Off to the corner where no one would really bother her. And if they did bother her, well, that never ended well for the other person. But she was in a good mood today. So if anyone did bother her she might actually be lenient with them. Why was the redhead in a suit of armor and white skirt in such a good mood. Easy, strawberry cake. The delicious slice of cake in all of it's illustrious glory sat in front of Erza with the shiny frosting teasing her to just engulf the whole thing.

Must savor every bite. Thought Erza as he struggled with her temptations. She led the fork slide into the cake, slowly cutting a perfect triangle away from the edge. With delight she brought the fork to her lips and bit down… on the metal fork. Erza, completely confused, looked down to see her the piece of cake on the fork burnt to a crisp and her beloved cake splattered against the wall. She calmly set the fork down on the table and just stared at the destroyed cake for a minute. Her mind then snapped back to reality.

"NAAAATSU!"

Erza flew across the room at breakneck speed and slammed into the cowering fire breather. She grabbed him by the color and dragged him, kicking and screaming, out the doors of Fairy Tail. This was the last straw. He dared to ruin her great day and most of all, he dared to destroy her cake.

"Erza please don't hurt me! It was an accident!" cried Natsu as he struggled against Erza's iron grip.

Erza didn't reply. She was too furious to say anything. She dragged the pink haired boy into the woods. The amount of brutal punishment she was about to deliver would not be possible indoors. As they got deeper into the woods outside of Magnolia, Erza twisted her arm and flung Natsu against a large tree. With a loud thud, Natsu hit the tree face first. The boy ignored the pain, he was too overcome with terror to notice it as he twirled about to stare up at the glowering red head.

"Now then…." shook Erza, "Punishment." she drew a sword and Natsu gulped loudly. Erza raised it above her head and was about to bring down her fury when a strange sensation filled the area around them. It felt calm, peaceful, incredibly serene. It was a magic Erza had never felt before. She slowly lowered her sword and looked off towards a deep thicket.

Natsu opened his squeezed shut eyelids and looked up at Erza. He was about to ask her why she stopped when he realized how stupid that would be. He slowly inched away from the redhead and was about to make his grand escape when her metal covered hand grabbed him by the collar once again.

"You're not going anywhere." she said quietly.

"Damn it." muttered Natsu. "Hey whatever you're going to do just get it over with already! I got stuff to do to!"

"Shut up!" Erza snapped as she tried to focus on the origin of this strange magic she was feeling. "Do you feel that?"

"Um… feel what?"

Erza. said a voice on the wind. Erza's hairs stood on end as a warm wind blew through the clearing she and Natsu were standing in. She released her grip and shooed off Natsu. The pink haired boy stared dumbfounded at the red haired knight before clambering away as fast as he could. As he did so he looked back.

"The heck is up with her?" Natsu mumbled. Then he shrugged. "If it get's me away from her, I'll take it!"

Erza looked off towards that same thicket once again. It was as if something was calling to her now. Urging her forward. Erza raised an eyebrow. Disembodied voices, a strange magic in the air, this was getting weird.

Let's figure out what this is. Though Erza as she stored her blade back in her requip space and walked deeper into the woods. As she walked through she felt the magical energy grow in strength. It was a large magical presence that seemed to fill the entire area with peace. Erza stopped for a second and looked around. She had never been in this part of the forest. The sun was blocked out by the thick canopy above her and the deep shadows set the young girl on edge.

Go on Erza. Do not be afraid. Said that same disembodied voice once again. Erza whirled around as she quickly drew a sword from her requip.

"Who's there!" she shouted while her hands shook. She didn't like not knowing what was going on.

Go forward.

"Gray, Natsu! If this is your idea of a prank. You are about to be in a world of pain!" she shouted at the shadows around her once again.

Go forward.

"Would you stop saying that! I get it! Go forward! Yeah Yeah! I'll go forward already!" roared Erza with frustration as she made her way through the forest. This day just kept getting even better didn't it?

Eventually Erza heard the voice again.

Stop.

Erza stopped her furious march and looked around. She was in the middle of nowhere. She didn't know where she was or how to get back to the guild. She was totally and completely lost.

"Oh way to go stupid voices! Way to get me lost!" she then blinked. "Damn it, now I sound like I'm crazy!" she stomped her foot and sat down.

Focus…. Said the voice again.

"Focus on what." mumbled Erza as she tucked her knees closer to her chest.

Then she sensed it. The strange magical energy. It was coming from right behind her. She got on her hands and knees and hid behind a bush before peering through the leaves and branches. Her eyes widened.

Beyond the bush, she saw a large clearing with a small pond in the middle of it. There were large rocks as well. Nothing unusual, except that several large boulders were just floating there in mid air. Erza's wide eyes took in the strange sight before they fell on a person in a brown robe sitting next to the pond, back to her. She recognized him. It was that stranger from yesterday. The one who had a private talk with the Master. What was he doing all the way out here?

Go forward.

Erza didn't question the voice this time. There was obviously a purpose for all of this weirdness now. Erza quietly stepped out of the bushes and into the clearing. She didn't want to disturb whatever the stranger was doing. She silently tiptoed towards the man. And she probably wouldn't have disturbed him, if she hadn't tripped on a root and started somersaulting forwards.

She saw the stranger react quickly. He leapt to his feet and produced a strange silver cylinder from his hip. The rocks fell to the ground and the man pressed his thumb to a button on the silver cylinder causing a beautiful blue light to emit from the cylinder. Erza then saw from his stance that he was prepared for an attack and was about to respond with deadly force. She saw him reach back, ready to swing. Erza re-quiped two of her swords. She could tell his blade wasn't ordinary. Not in the slightest. Better safe than sorry. She poured some of her magic into her blades, making the stronger and less likely to take damage. Erza jumped out of the somersault and soared over the stranger. The stranger's blade arched upwards with a buzzing sound and clashed with Erza's magic infused swords.

Upon contact the blue light bit into the steel cutting through it with ease, but not all the way through. Erza's eyes widened as she saw the her swords get destroyed. She quickly landed on the grass below and required a new sword. SHe poured even more of her magic into this one and stood with her guard.

The stranger did not follow up his swipe however. He just stood there staring at Erza. Erza gritted her teeth in frustration.

"Aren't you going to try something you geezer!" shouted Erza defiantly while on the inside she was scared stiff. This guy's strange sword cut her two best blades practically in half. She had never met such a fierce weapon.

"Geezer?" said the man with a raised eyebrow, "I've been called many things over the years, but that's the first time I've been referred to as an old man."

Erza stared confused as the man pressed his thumb against that same button that ignited the blue blade. The blue beam of light was sucked back into the cylinder and the man nonchalantly clipped it back to his brown belt. Erza slightly lowered her own guard but still held her sword tightly.

"You can put that away now. I'm not going to fight you." said the stranger as he sat down on a large boulder and stared back at Erza.

Erza hesitated before carefully ex-quipping her sword. As she did this the stranger's eyes widened at the use of her magic.

"What are you staring at?" asked Erza.

"What did you just do?" replied the man.

"Uh… I used my requip magic to store my sword. Have you never seen something like that before?"

"No."

Strange. He's never seen requip before. That kind of magic is very common though. He must be from way out of town. Thought Erza.

"What are doing all the way out here?" asked the stranger with folded arms, "Spying on me?"

"Wha! No! Yes… wait! No!" the stranger gave Erza a stern stare. Erza sighed, "I was about to punish Natsu for destroying my strawberry cake when I heard a weird voice tell me to walk this way. Then I saw you and well, I don't know. It's all so weird."

The stranger nodded, "Isn't it a little extreme to punish someone for destroying a cake?"

"STRAWBERRY CAKE IS THE MOST AMAZING THING IN THE WORLD! AND ANYONE WHO DARES HARM MY CAKE WILL BE DESTROYED!" roared Erza back.

Normally, when she got angry like this, the other guild members would shrink away, scared of her fury. With the exception of Laxus, Mystogan, and the she-devil Mira of course. This guy however just chuckled a little.

"All that pent up anger can't be healthy for you young one." he laughed. Erza saw him hiding something though. Sadness, there was lots of it on his face. It aged the stranger several years.

"So what's you're name?" asked Erza as she finally got a little more comfortable around the stranger.

"My name? Oh…" the man put a hand to his bearded chin, "Ben, my name is Ben."

Erza raised an eyebrow, "You're lying." she stated in a matter of fact tone.

"No I'm not." replied Ben.

Erza just shook her head, "You're terrible at lying geezer. But if you want to be known as Ben fine by me." Erza walked over and sat down next to Ben. She then held out a hand covered in a steel gauntlet, "I'm Erza. Erza Scarlet."

The man smiled, "Ben Kenobi." and he shook her hand.

"So… what're you doing all the way out here?" asked Erza.

"I like my privacy." replied Ben, "Plus I had to do some thinking."

"So you sitting down with floating boulders around you… is your way of thinking?" questioned Erza with a puzzled look.

Ben smiled a little, "Meditating I guess could be a more accurate description. It allows me to…" he paused for a second trying to come up with the right explanation. "To channel magic a little more easily. Therefore, floating boulders." he waved his hand at the large rocks that were now resting in the grass around them.

"So you are a wizard then!" exclaimed Erza, "I figured as much if you wanted to talk to the Master. And you use, what, mind control?"

Ben laughed out loud at that one. It had been a while since he had laughed. "No… well… I guess I could if I wanted to. But I was mainly using, telekinesis."

"Tele-what?"

"Telekinesis. Moving objects with the Force."

"The Force?"

Ben cringed. He slipped up. The last thing he wanted to be identified as on an unknown system was a force user. Better to mingle in with the general population than to stand out.

"Is that what you call magic? The Force?" asked Erza curiously as she swung her small legs back and forth in the air.

"Yes. I guess you could say that." replied Ben, "You have a lot of questions you know."

"I like to learn things." she replied with a bright smile.

"So, telekinetics. Able to make objects float. Check!" stated Erza, "Mind control," Ben chuckled a little, "Check, so what was that blue sword you were using?"

"Um…"

I can't really explain my way out of that one. Though Ben as he sighed and pulled his lightsaber off of his belt.

"This is a lightsaber. I built it when I was younger. It is a type of energy sword I suppose. It's color and blade are formed by a special crystal that is part of the construction." he saw the small red head was hanging on his every word as she stared awestruck at the lightsaber, "It is the weapon of a Jedi Knight."

"You're a knight!?" exclaimed Erza with fascination, "What land are you from!? Why are not wearing armor? Have you been in big battles? What's a castle like?"

"Slow down, slow down. Took many questions at once." said Obi Wan as he raised a hand to calm down Erza, "I can't really tell you where I'm from, but I don't wear armor because I don't really need it. And…" Ben thought back into his memory. He'd been in palaces, but never really a castle. "Huh, I've never actually been in a castle before."

"Oh." said Erza a little disappointed, "What about battles!? Or duels!? I bet you've had many glorious duels with many great knights."

I HATE YOU! Shouted the man on the lava banks in Ben's mind. The humming of lightsabers and the violent crackling as they clashed together. The heat of the molten rock as he fought on a hovering platform.

Erza saw the faraway stare he got in his eyes. Her smile disappeared.

"It's ok. You don't have to tell me Ben."

Ben snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh no, it's just… think of an old friend. To answer your question, yes I have been in battles, big ones too."

"And duels!?"

Ben nodded his head, "And duels yes."

"What was your most dangerous one?"

Other than that one? Thought Ben as he reminisced the many harrowing encounters he had with other force users over the years. The clashes with Dooku, Ventress, Grievous… Anakin. Then he remembered one that he knew would entertain the small child.

"I once fought another knight, an evil knight." Erza gasped, completely enthralled by his story, "He called himself Maul and he had a brother named Savage…" Erza put her head in her hands and hung on every word.

….

"Where is Erza!" shouted Makarov over the normal rabble and rowdiness of his guild, "She's been gone for hours now and she didn't take a job. Has anyone seen her?"

"Nope." "Haven't Seen her." "Didn't she storm out dragging Natsu." "Poor kid, he probably is barely breathing right now."

Makarov sighed, "That doesn't help much."

The doors to the guild hall opened and Makarov looked up to see Erza walk through them. Behind her was the stranger that he talked to yesterday, Ben. Makarov breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the red head walk in and sit down at one of the tables. Ben walked up to Makarov.

"She got lost in the forest. I thought I'd escort her back." he stated.

Makarov nodded, "Thank you for doing that. She is a powerful young wizard, but there are monsters out there that she may not be able to handle quite yet."

Oh tell me about it. Thought Ben as he remembered encountering a very hairy beast about the size of a rancor on his first night.

"Are you staying anywhere tonight Ben?" asked Makarov.

"I uh-"

"He can stay here at the guild. Right Master!?" piped up Erza who had quickly walked up the two.

"I really can-"

"Of course he can! Ben here is now a friend of this guild! He is more than welcome here. We got warm food, soft beds in the infirmary. I hope you don't mind staying in the infirmary."

Ben could see there was no arguing his way out of this one.

"I don't mind at all." he bowed to the smaller man, "Thank you."

"C'mon!" Erza gripped Ben's hand, "I'll show you around!"

Makarov laughed as Ben was completely overwhelmed by Erza's overwhelming personality.

"Who's the geezer?" asked a teenaged voice next to Makarov. Makarov spat out the beer he had just gulped into his mouth.

"LAXUS MANNERS!"

The blonde with a lightning shaped scar over his right eye and a walkman on his head shrugged and walked away. Then Makarov heard a crash.

"NATSU DO NOT CALL BEN A GEEZER!" roared Erza to the flailing pink haired boy.

Makarov sighed, "Get me some more please. I'm gonna need it."

And chapter! So Ben is getting know the guild a little bit better right now. It's actually a lot of fun writing about the Guild's early years. It gives a lot of creative leeway for me. We'll see where the story goes from here. Let me know what you guys think and as always, have a nice day!
