Hello everyone! It's the Bobcat with a brand new story for everyone! I'm been kicking this idea around for awhile now and I figured it was about time I put it down on paper (or computer screen if you want to get technical about it all.) I'm excited to write it for you all and I hope you guys enjoy. Without further ado part 1: Star Wars: A New Fairy.
Star Wars: A New Fairy
Chapter 1: Obi Wan
"I HATE YOU!"
Those words. They echoed in his brain. I hate you. They were the most painful words anyone had ever spoken to him. The middle aged man stared out the window and out into the open blackness of outer space. His mind was full right now. He was still trying to absorb everything that had occurred in the past 72 hours. Heck, he was still trying to calm himself from what had happened in the past few hours. A wave of pain hit him and the man took a heavy breath before running a shaky hand through his brown hair. The Force, it cried out once again. Another Jedi, another member of his family, had died.
The man steadied himself against the glass window and took a few deep breaths before rubbing his closely trimmed beard.
"I HATE YOU!"
"Master Kenobi." said an elderly voice behind him. The man turned around to see a short green alien with pointy ears, wispy gray hair, and a small wooden cane shuffling towards him.
"Master Yoda, I didn't sense you come in." said Obi Wan Kenobi.
"Hmm, clouded your mind is. Troubled you are." observed the great Master Yoda, the grandmaster of the Jedi Order, and one of the few Jedi to survive the past few days.
"I-" Obi Wan stopped himself and took a shaky breath, "I can still feel them all."
Yoda nodded, "The Force, crying out in pain it is. Never before has such disturbance occurred." Yoda stood next to Obi Wan, "Dwell on Skywalker you should not."
Obi Wan shook his head. He knew he should show any emotion but it just began to pour out of him. The tears welled up in his eyes. "I can't help it. He was- he was a brother to me Master. And I failed him."
"No!" snapped Yoda, "Fail you did not. Skywalker fell he did. Not because of you, because of Sidious it was."
That didn't help much. Obi Wan still shouldered the blame himself. He failed to protect his friend, his apprentice, his brother from the evil that was the Dark Side. He wasn't a good enough teacher. He wasn't his master, Qui Gon wouldn't have allowed this to happen.
How do you know such a thing wouldn't have happened if I was around? Said a gentle familiar voice in Obi Wan's head.
You would've been a better teacher for Anakin, you would've understood him better. Replied Obi Wan.
Perhaps, or perhaps not. Obi Wan, you cannot change what happened. You can only change what can happen now.
Obi Wan saw Yoda nod with closed eyes beside him. Qui Gon was talking to him as well. Yoda opened his eyes and looked up at Obi Wan.
"Correct, Qui Gon is." he said, "Protect Luke and Leia we must."
Obi Wan nodded, "How shall we do that?"
"Senator Organa, take in Leia he will. Raise her as his daughter. Luke take to Tatooine you will." Yoda ordered, "Away from the Emperor's eyes it is."
Obi Wan nodded in understanding. "I shall leave immediately then." Obi Wan pulled his hood over his head and walked to the door.
"Obi Wan." The middle aged Jedi Master turned to look back at Master Yoda. "May the force be with you."
"And you as well Master Yoda." Obi Wan said somberly before exiting the dimly lit room and entering the bright hallways of the Tantive IV, Senator Bail Organa's ship.
Obi Wan strode quickly down the hall and went into a small room on the left. Inside were two cribs with two small babies in them. One was a baby girl that was peacefully sleeping. The other was a loud baby boy that was wailing it's head off once Obi Wan entered. The Jedi Master smiled sadly and picked up the baby boy named Luke Skywalker. As soon as he did the boy stopped crying, his bright blue eyes staring curiously at Obi Wan's face.
"Am I that interesting?" muttered Obi Wan as he held Luke in his arms. The door slide open with an electronic whoosh.
"I assume Master Yoda went over the plan with you?" said a strong male voice.
"He did Senator. I was just about to leave with Luke." replied Obi Wan as he turned to face Bail Organa, the senator from Alderaan.
It was obvious that the senator was going through just as rough a time as Obi Wan and Yoda were. There were bags under his dark eyes, and his usually neatly combed black hair was frayed slightly. He was wearing a typical outfit of the Alderaan people, bluish gray shirt with a gray stretch over his right shoulder and ray pants as well.
"Master Kenobi," started Bail, "We will be docking at a station over Alderaan soon, from there you can take a ship to take you to Tatooine. I'll make sure that you are not seen."
"Thank you." The ship shuddered and the sound of metallic arms grabbing the ship and steadying the large vessel groaned outside.
"Sooner than expected," stated Bail. He opened the door and concern grew on his face as he saw the crew of his ship grabbing blasters and racing towards the airlock. Obi Wan followed him outside. He held Luke in one arm and gripped a slender, cylindrical device in the other. Something was off. The Force was silent right now.
"Bail, get Leia to an escape pod now." muttered Obi Wan, "I'll head for one with Luke."
Bail nodded, he grabbed Leia then spoke into a comlink that he pulled from his belt.
"Captain, what is going on?"
"Imperial Star Destroyer, they have us in a tractor beam sir!"
Obi Wan's heart sank and Bail's began to race. They had been found out. But how!?
"Like I said, get to an escape pod Senator."
Bail nodded and the Jedi and Senator raced through the brightly lit halls that flicker every so often as the ship groaned some more. More crew members rushed by them running towards the airlock with blaster pistols in hand. As they turned a corner they heard a loud explosion. The ship shuddered and the sound of blaster fire echoed through the ship. Obi Wan picked up the pace and began to sprint through the ship. He turned another corner and saw soldiers in white armor marching through the hallway.
"It's the Jedi! Blast him!" shouted the leader who had yellow lines painted along the vision visor on his helmet.
Obi Wan willed the force to him and sent a huge force push towards the soldiers. They flew backwards down the hallway. As quickly as he sent the force push, Obi Wan activated the cylinder in his hand. A loud hum generated from the cylinder and a blade of blue energy emitted from the cylinder. Obi Wan held it outstretched and charged forward. Blue blaster bolts began flying at him. Obi Wan let the lightsaber dance in his hands. Blaster Bolts were deflected back at the firing clone soldiers and into the walls around him.
This is way more difficult with one hand!
Obi Wan reached the clones and began slashing at the enemy soldiers who cried out as his lightsaber slashed into their armor and ended their lives. With the hallway clear, Obi Wan called upon the force once again and used it to make him run faster through the halls. Finally, he reached the room with the escape pods. Obi called out to Bail, but he got no answer. He saw that several pods had already been launched and he could only pray that the Alderaan senator had made it off of the ship. Obi Wan gently set Luke down in one of the chairs and tied a safety strap around him. Obi Wan heard blaster bolts careening down the hall towards him. He quickly shut the hatch and heard the blaster fire impacting against the metal outside. The Jedi Master quickly punched in a code on the control panel and felt himself get thrown across the small pod as it violently jettisoned from the captive ship.
Obi Wan shook his head and heard Luke crying loudly as the pod drifted helplessly in the blackness of space. Then he felt it shudder. The Star Destroyer was firing at them. Obi looked out the viewport and saw two escape pods get destroyed by blue turbo lasers. He could feel it in the Force now, he was next.
Obi Wan looked around the control panel looking for a way to control the pod. But there was none. It was just a simple escape pod, no controls, no propulsion, nothing to save them from this situation. He closed his eyes and began to calm his breathing. This was it then. The last thing he heard was the loud crying of Luke before a wave of heat slammed into him and the coldness of space embraced his body.
…..
Obi Wan groaned. His body was crying out in pain and his head was pounding. He felt like he got into a fight with a Rancor. Wait, he wasn't supposed to be feeling anything right now. He was supposed to be dead. Obi Wan slowly opened his weary eyes and saw blue sky above him. Clear, beautiful, blue sky. He then felt the green grass around him as well. Was this heaven of some sort?
Obi Wan, it's time to get up.
Qui Gon! Thought the Jedi Master as he sat up quickly. That was a mistake. Pain racked his body and he cried out and winced.
Take it easy my apprentice. You've had quite the experience.
Obi Wan blinked and saw Qui Gon standing in front of him. It was unmistakable. He still had that long brown hair with slight gray strands in it and the same beard around his chin. His master's kind green eyes were looking at him a look somewhere between concern and happiness. But there was something different about him, he was covered in a strange blue glow.
"I don't think I need to speak to your mind anymore now." said Qui Gon as he stood across from a confused Obi Wan.
"Master, what is going on? Am I dead? Is this what is beyond life?" asked Obi Wan.
"Patience Obi Wan, all will be answered in time. You need to calm yourself." Obi Wan closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, he felt the force flow through him, "As you can probably feel, you are not dead."
Obi Wan opened his eyes, "How is that possible?"
For the first time ever he saw genuine confusion in his Master's eyes, "I'm not entirely certain myself Obi Wan. What I can only assume is that the Force directly involved itself and kept you and Luke alive."
"LUKE!" exclaimed Obi Wan, "Where is he!?" Obi Wan began to frantically look around.
"I don't know where he is Obi Wan. But he is alive, search your feelings, you know he is as well."
Obi Wan felt frantically felt through the force and sensed it. An infant's small signature in the force. He recognized it as Luke's but he could not pinpoint where it was coming from. Obi Wan breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to his master.
"Do you know where we are?"
Qui Gon shook his head, "I've never heard of this planet, nor seen it before. But it seems to be a very nice place."
Obi Wan had to agree with that. It was a beautiful planet from what he could see. The grass all around him grew green and the sky was bluer than Naboo's. In the distance he could see some massive snow covered mountains and a river as well. Along the river was a decently sized town. Obi Wan used the force to enhance his vision. It didn't help much, he was never very good at this sort of thing. He saw that there was no space port in the town, there weren't even speeders. There were animal drawn carriages and people walked beside canals that held small boats in them.
"It looks like this place is not a space faring civilization."
"Indeed, which means you must be careful. Who knows how they'd react to discovering that they aren't alone in the universe." said Qui Gon.
"Going into a population center while I'm disorientated as I am would be unwise." stated Obi Wan. He looked past the town and saw a large forest surrounding it. That would work, better than being out in the open. From there he can set up a base camp then begin his search for Luke. Obi Wan set off with a purpose.
"Where are you going Obi Wan?" asked Qui Gon with folded arms.
"To find Luke, then figure out where I am in the galaxy."
Qui Gon closed his eyes and sighed, "How can you find Luke when you do not even know where you are."
Obi Wan sighed, why was his master always so damn logical. "How do you suggest I find out where I am?"
"Go into town."
"But you just told me to-"
"To be careful, but not to avoid it." stated Qui Gon before he began to disappear. "The force is with you Obi Wan."
"Master. Master where are you going!?" yelled Obi Wan before Qui Gon completely disappeared. Obi Wan couldn't contain it anymore. To hell with the Jedi code. He let out a roar of frustration and kicked a rock in front of him. Obi Wan took some heavy breaths before shutting his eyes and calming himself. He needed to be calm, observe the situation, and figure out a solution. He needed a clear head in order to do that.
Obi Wan began walking towards the town. As he neared the town he saw many dozens of people entering and exiting the town as well. He had his hood drawn over his head as he silently entered the town. It was surprisingly nice. The streets were clean and the water was crystal clear. There were many shops and vendors along the major arteries and it seemed to be a very peaceful place. Obi Wan walked over to a vendor.
"Excuse me but where am I?"
"Hm, you don't know where you are?" said a skinny man with large eyebrows and a moustache.
Obviously not.
"You are in Magnolia buddy. And you are taking up my time, buy something or beat it!" snapped the vendor. Obi Wan nodded and walked away.
So this place was called Magnolia. At least he now knew the city name. He soon made his way near the edge of the town and saw a massive building fashioned after a pagoda only much larger. There were several people entering and exiting the building. Male and female and all very colorful in one way or another. But one thing caught Obi Wan's attention. The force was very strong here. Obi Wan became curious. He made his way up the white stone steps and pushed open the large wooden doors. Inside was a large common room with many tables and benches. At the far end of the room was a bar and behind the bar was a staircase that led to the second story of the building. There were several dozen people in the room, smoking, drinking, eating and talking. Near the bar was a large bulletin board with papers attached to eat and large numbers printed on the papers.
Some sort of mercenary organization perhaps. But why is the force so strong here?
"Hey Stripper!" shouted a youthful voice that belonged to a boy with pink hair. He wore a scaly white scarf around his neck. Billowy white pants and a black vest with gold trimmings. He didn't look much older than 7 or 8. "You got something to say to me!"
Another young boy about the same age as the first raced up to him and pressed his forehead against the other in a confrontational manner. This one had black hair and wore only… underwear?
"Yeah!" shouted the second boy back, "You are pyro head flame brain whose too much of an idiot to realize he is one!"
"THAT DOES IT!"
Obi Wan couldn't help but smile with amusement as he watched the two boys began to slug it out.
"There those two go again." muttered a man with purple hair.
"Yup, those two don't stop do they?" replied the man sitting across from him who was smoking a cigarette, "Four aces Macao!" he laid his cards down and took a swig of his drink.
"Wha! You cheated Wakaba!"
"Did not!" shouted the man with the elaborate pompadour back.
"ENOUGH FIGHTING ALREADY!" shouted a little girl's voice. The two older men stopped quickly and looked over at a red haired girl wearing armor and a white skirt. Obi Wan laughed silently once again. She had knocked out the two young boys and was dragging them out of the building. She walked past Obi Wan but stopped and looked up at him.
"Who are you?" she asked sternly.
"Hm, oh, I'm just a traveler looking for information." replied Obi Wan quickly.
"Master Makarov is by the bar, you should talk to him." The with pink hair began squirming and the girl gave him an unsettling glare that made the boy stop moving. Obi Wan thanked the girl and made his way to the bar. At the bar he saw a very short elderly man with a jester's hat on drinking a mug of alcohol.
"Another one!" he shouted cheerfully and was promptly given a full mug.
"Are you Master Makarov?" asked Obi Wan to the older man.
"Eh, who's asking? If you're with the Magic Council you can go pound sand!"
Obi Wan blinked. Magic Council? He pushed that to the back of his mind. "I'm looking for information, I was told I could talk to you."
The old man stopped drinking and looked over at the hooded Obi Wan. Makarov narrowed his eyes. Makarov could sense something strange coming off of this man. It felt like magic power, but it felt different at the same time. And it was a large amount as well.
"What information are you looking for?"
The hooded man looked back and forth, "I'd rather talk about that in private." he muttered.
Now Makarov was interested. He nodded and motioned for the cloaked man to follow him upstairs. When they reached the upstairs Obi Wan saw three more children up there. One was a teen with spiky blonde hair and a wicked scar over his right eye that was shaped like a lightning bolt. On his head was some sort of listening device. The second was a girl in a revealing black leather outfit. She had incredibly white hair and gave Obi Wan and intimidating stare. The last was a boy who was masked and wore blue robes.
"Alright brats, downstairs with you!" ordered Master Makarov.
"Why?" asked the girl.
"Cause I said so dammit!" shouted Makarov. The three children jumped and raced down the wooden stairs leaving Obi Wan and Makarov alone on the second floor. Makarov pulled up two chairs.
"Sit and we can talk." Obi Wan nodded and sat down across from Makarov. "Before I tell you anything I need to know who you are."
Obi Wan shifted uncomfortably, "I can't really do that."
"Why not?"
"Cause, it'd be dangerous for me to do so."
"If you are dangerous then why should I let you be anywhere near my children right now?" asked Makarov who began to leak out some magical pressure.
Obi Wan felt it. A massive uptick in the force around him. It was coming from the old man named Makarov. And it was menacing.
"I mean you no harm, nor your people here. I just…" Obi Wan paused, "I suppose I should just tell you the truth."
"That would be a good start."
Obi Wan took a deep breath, "I crash landed on this planet with an infant." Makarov's eyes widened. Then he laughed, and laughed loudly.
"HA! Sure you did!" laughed Makarov.
"It's the truth, you can believe it if you want to." replied Obi Wan.
Makarov stopped laughing. This guy was serious.
"Are you saying, that you are some sort of space person?" asked Makarov. Obi Wan nodded and Makarov whistled, "Ok then, that's quite a development. So, you're probably wondering where you are?"
"Yes."
"Well, you are in the city of Magnolia in the country of Fiore. You are on the world of Earthland."
"Earthland?" said Obi Wan.
"I know not the greatest name, but it's the name." said Makarov. "And you are in my wizard guild, Fairy Tail."
"Wizard Guild?"
"Basically a place where wizards can come and find work, take jobs, earn fame and fortune. That sort of thing." Said Makarov, "And from what I sense, you may be one as well."
"A wizard?" Obi Wan laughed to himself. I guess if you wanted to call Jedi wizards, it wouldn't be completely inaccurate. "I guess you could say that."
Makarov nodded, "Well, I won't pry into your privacy anymore unless you want me to. You are more than welcome to stay here."
"But I just-"
"Just met you. Yes I know, but I don't turn down people in need of help." said Makarov with a grin, "Go ahead and get yourself something to eat on the house and bring the infant with ya too."
"That's the other thing, the infant I came with, he disappeared."
Makarov took on a somber look, "That's… unfortunate. I'll keep my ears open. If I hear anything I'll let you know. For now, eat and get some rest, you look exhausted. Oh and, what's your name."
Obi Wan hesitated. He didn't feel comfortable enough to tell the old man his name. What if the Empire was secretly here. He couldn't risk telling him his real name.
"Ben."
Makarov nodded, "Alright Ben," he held out his hand and Obi Wan shook it, "Welcome to Fairy Tail."
And chapter! Alright! Like I said, I was kicking this idea around for some time now. I want to know what you guys think about it! Hope you all enjoyed! And don't worry, I'm still working of Game of Fairies. I won't put that one down, I enjoy writing it took much. I just got this idea and had to put it down before I lost it. So yeah! Please rate, review, and as always have a nice day.
