Looping Fairies

Chapter Three

Alright, you guys MIGHT have gotten this chapter yesterday but my mom came in and surprised me as I was writing. I quickly clicked the save button and in order to save my door from being torn down by my over excited dog Oz I got up, closed my laptop, and went and said hi. Not twenty seconds later I come back, open my laptop, and find that it didn't save. So I was too annoyed to type it up again. And now, finally, here you guys go! Chapter Three of Looping Fairies!

I do not own anything except the idea of doing a Fairy Tail time loop story. I will let you guys know now that I asked Saphroneth, the author of the epically awesome MLP Loops story, and I have permission to put this story in the same universe! Meaning, anyone of you who follows that story? I will be using the same universe for the crossover dimensions! Be prepared for awesomeness! No, I will not be using any of their ideas for the story. The only thing I am using is the other loops that Saphroneth has already connected into their own story. There are several loops that Saphroneth hasn't used yet, and for those I am glad to create my own. But some of the crossover loops will be set into the universe they have set out.

(I hope I explained that well enough!)

Quick Edit: Forgot to say thank you to alycat63, Midnight Crew, Lucy Queen of the Stars, and M. Press for reviewing last chapter! :D (23 freaking follows OMP I'm freaking out over here! XD)


3.1

Lucy Awoke and looked around her. It seemed to be a normal loop, her apartment looked the same anyways, if a little messy. She checked her loop memories...

And promptly screamed in terror.

By the time she had exhausted her ridiculously large air supply with her screams she hadn't calmed down at all.

"Hey, shut up you little prick!" She heard in a frighteningly familiar voice.

"N-Natsu?" She whimpered. That would seal it: Her Natsu would immediately panic at hearing such a sound come from her.

"What?! I'm trying to sleep here!" The voice snarled back from what she assumed was her bedroom.

/No no no no nono nonononononono!/

Without putting much thought into it she bolted from the apartment. As she ran she thought about her situation.

Evil dark guild? /Perfectly normal./

Evil dark guild members? /Nothing unusual./

Evil dark guild being Fairy Tail? /Not that unordinary, it happens quite a lot in Variant loops./

Evil dark guild members being Fairy Tail members? /Been there done that./

Evil version of Fairy Tail having a Top Assassin? /Not typical but not too strange./

Top Assassin being her NonAwake self? /Not. Bleeping. Happening./

She quickly went over the checklist she had for any time she Awoke on the wrong side of the law.

Step One: Learn how many laws your NonAwake self has broken.

/Well, I know this isn't exactly GOOD but apparently the only thing is murder.../

Step Two: Immediately get as much distance between yourself and other criminals as possible.

/I've already run clear across Magnolia... Maybe I should hide in the forest?/

Step Three: Locate the Magic Counsel or other authority.

/Already know where the Magic Counsel is this loop./

Step Four: You now have four options.

Option 1: Turn yourself in and negotiate a safe, preferable deal.

Option 2: Use saved up loop money to buy supplies and spend the rest of the loop as a reclusive hermit in a cave, ancient forest, or deserted island.

Option 3: Use abilities to end the loop prematurely. (bad side effect: may result in Awakening in Eidolas or an even worse Variant loop)

Option 4: Get creative.

/Welp, guess I know the obvious choice here!/


3.2

"Bakery goods?"

"Check!"

"Net?"

"Check!"

"Fake fluorescent slime?"

"Check!"

"Already hung mistletoe?"

"DOUBLE Check!"

Fairy Tail's most nefarious team, Looper's Laughs, all smiled with the glee that only those well versed in the art of pranking could achieve.

"Well what are we waiting for?!" The team's Leader, Lucy Heartfilia, giggled crazily.

"Puuuuuuuuuuuun!" The tiny Celestial Spirit mascot cheered.


3.3

Loke sat in the strange glass cell and drummed his fingers on his knees in boredom.

A giant muscled man with long blonde hair and a hammer attached to his belt walked into the room. He waved a hand at the security cameras, and Loke felt the telltale wave of magic go over them as the lenses glazed over.

The man stared at him for a while before frowning in confusion. "You are not my brother Loki." It was a statement that at the same time asked for an explanation.

"Yes and No."

The man tilted his head curiously. "I assume you are a looper as well?"

Loke nodded his head as he explained his statement. "I'm not your brother but my name does happen to be Loke. With an e, not an i."

"Ah," He nodded in understanding. "I am Thor, Prince of Asgard."

"Loke, technically Leo the Celestial Spirit of the Lion Constellation but I changed my name way back in baseline. Member of Fairy Tail's team Looper's Laughs."

"I don't believe I've heard of you, but this loop is not very old." Thor said as he examined Loke thoughtfully.

"Same here, Fiore is kind of new to looping too. This isn't my first crossover loop but it's my first time looping alone." At the Asgardian's curious look he explained how he knew. "I don't sense the magic energy of anyone from my loop. Well, anyone that's Awake anyways."

Thor put a hand to his chin in thought. "Why did you Wake up so late in the loop?"

Loke frowned. "Late?"

"Yes, usually other loopers Awake earlier in the beginning. A large portion of the loop has already passed."

The Celestial Spirit-slash-temporary God of Mischief shrugged. "Why does anything happen in the loops?"

Thor laughed heartily. "That is a very good question, er, may I call you... Leo, was it? At least when Nonloopers aren't around?"

"Sure. Hey, any chance of me getting out of here?" Loke tapped on the extremely thick glass wall with his finger.

"Yes, although you may need to rid yourself of the Chitauri's control and play victim from there."

"Oh, that? It's not much stronger than a magically enforced command from a contracted mage so I shook that off in the first five minutes. I'm assuming I'll have to do a big 'fighting for control' scene, right?" Loke said, standing up to stretch out a cramp in his back.

He took note of the fact that Thor seemed to file away his odd(for the Asgardian, who most likely didn't even know what a Celestial spirit was) answer for later.

"Yes, I've put a spell on the security cameras so that it appears as if we've been arguing all this time over several random things... that aren't really important except for in baseline."

"Alright, so... Do I just roll with the loop memories and improvise?" Loke asked as he fully straightened from his catlike stretching. What? He was technically a lion!

Thor nodded before speaking as Loke felt the spell drop. "Of course, brother-"

"Do not call me your brother! We are not brothers!" Loke hissed the first reaction that his loop memories told him to do. /Geez, I feel sorry for this Loki dude when he starts looping./

"That is ENOUGH!" Thor shouted as he grabbed the handle of the hammer, Mjolnir, Loke's loop memories supplied, for emphasis. Apparently the illusionary argument had already been quite heated. "Loki, this is not you! What is wrong, brother?"

"Thor... I.." Loke decided that playing this out too long would probably only make it more annoying to deal with later.

Loke used his magic to make his eyes flash a bright blue, the same way they would if he were actually being controlled, and fell to his knees with a scream of agony. Any looper would easily be able to see past his ruse, but all loopers had a set of acting skills that were absolutely Nonlooper-proof.

"AAAAGH!" He made his eyes flash brighter as his "brother" yelled and tried to get to him through the glass. Others began to rush into the room as he continued to scream in pain.

"Thor, don't!"

"I must get to my brother! Can you not see?! He was being manipulated just the same as the others!" Loke had to give Thor credit, he was good even for a looper.

"What's happening to him?!"

"My guess is that talking to Thor made it so that he slipped some of the control and now he's fighting back. I think it MIGHT be just a little painful." Whoever that was just HAD to be a looper. No one else could master such a control over sarcasm.

Loke's loop memories didn't give him any names to the voices. He kept screaming but cut it off abruptly as he fell the rest of the way to the floor, clutching at his head and groaning as if still in pain.

"LOKI!" Thor's deep voice bellowed. There was the sound of the cell opening and then Loke was grabbed by a strong pair of arms. "Brother, speak to me!"

"Not.. your... AAAGGH!" He clutched his head tighter as he made the glow intensify.

"Thor, be careful!"

With a final scream and one last flash of light from his eyes Loke made himself go limp. A few seconds later he looked up dazedly, head hanging weakly from his neck, as if he'd just woken up.

"Wha...?" He mumbled, staring wild-eyed at the group of people surrounding him.

"Loki?" Thor asked hopefully. Loke had to try extra hard not to laugh at the puppy dog expression on his face. Dang this guy was good!

Now, Loke knew a lot of tricks. Being a prankster meant learning lots of odd things here and there. One of those little odd things was the very hard to master ability of fainting on demand.

"..."

"Is he going to be alright?"


"Leo?"

"Yeah Thor?"

"This is our loop's Anchor."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you..?"

"Tony, Tony Stark. And I must say, great performance."


3.4

Gajeel twitched and suppressed a growl.

"Now, while you're here you can do whatever, but our loop is a sanctuary loop and there will be NO fighting." A lavender unicorn with wings lectured them with a serious expression.

"What?!" A red unicorn with a pink mane shouted and his horn sparked with fire similar to the inferno on his flank. "No fighting?! Are you SERIOUS?!"

"Aw come on Natsu, it can't be THAT hard!" A light cream colored earth pony with a long yellow mane giggled lightly as she looked at the image of a key ring and several star-like sparkles on her own flank.

"Are you kidding me?!" A dark navy blue unicorn with a black mane and a lethal looking snowflake on his flank yelled. "No way will I be able to stand being around Flamebrain so long without getting to beat him up!"

"Excuse me Ice Queen?! YOU beat ME up?!"

The two immediately tackled each other in a swirl of fire and ice.

Gajeel just ignored them, examining his unruly black mane(Seriously, did ALL loops have to give him terrible hair?) and steely gray coat. He saw what looked like a tattoo of his Iron Dragon's Roar on... his butt?

"Why is my most powerful attack tattooed on my butt?"

"Silly, it's called a cutie mark!" A pink earth pony with cotton candy looking hair giggled. She then proceeded to tell him ALL about how cutie marks were SO special because they showed a pony's most SPECIAL talent and therewereNEVERmorethanonetypeofcutiemarkbecausetheywereSOspecialandshegotHERcutiemarkatbecauseofherBESTESTfriendDashieand-

There was a flash as the fighting unicorns disappeared and Gajeel gladly took the opportunity to escape the energetic pony. She was a little too like his team's leader on a sugar rush...

The cream colored pony's smile turned into a blank glare. "Excuse me," She turned to the winged unicorn. "I'm just going to be frank here: What the yiff did you do to my friends?"

The pony blinked at the harsh difference between the cream colored mare's(who by now it was obvious was Lucy) voice. Before it was kind and friendly. Now it was dark and dangerous.

"I'm sorry, it just seemed like they weren't going to stop anytime soon and they almost froze/burnt Fluttershy's favorite flowers. I knew she'd be really upset if that happened.. And I'm serious when I say that there will be NO fighting."

Lucy immediately lost the dangerous edge around her. "Oh, why didn't you say so? I know more than most just how destructive those two can be! Plus, they're ALWAYS fighting!" She sighed in exasperation.

"Where did you send them?" Gajeel asked, recognizing the magic as the feel of a teleportation spell.

"Well in our loop villains tend to get banished... to the moon."

A small lion cub sitting on Lucy's back laughed. "Well THAT'S just hilarious."

"..."

"Loke, I get the lion part but why are you a cub?"

"Grrrrr..."

"D'aaawwwwww! So cute!" Two voices chimed at the exact same time with crazed giggles.


3.5

"..."

"..."

"...Laxus?"

"..."

"..."

"...Yes?"

"Please tell me you're looping."

"..."

"..."

"...You mean how everything's been repeating itself?"

"Yes."

"..."

"..."

"...Then yes."

"..."

"..."

"...We tell the guild we broke up?"

"And never speak of this again."

"...Agreed."

"..."

"..."

"Can we..."

"Get out of this closet?"

"...Yeah.. that... that would be great..."


3.6

Jonas Woke up, coincidentally right after waking up, went to join the morning ritual with his family, and stopped short. His sister's name was Lucy this loop?

He shrugged, going to sit down to eat. Again he stopped short. He sighed. "Listen, I know you're not from this loop, but you need to follow the rules regardless."

"And these rules would be?" His "sister" was a blonde haired, brown eyed beauty(dang he'd never get over colors) in the process of ripping out her hair ribbons and completely ignoring their parent's protests.

"No breaking the community's rules without me to help start some sort of revolution."


3.1

*You guys wanted some more of the twisted loop and I'm delivering! Thought it's probably not in the way you'd expect. Depending on what you guys think, I'll extend on it a little more in the next chapter. :)

3.2

* Hmmm... What oh what could our devious pranksters be planning? I'm leaving it up to your guys' imaginations on what the ingredients are for. :D

3.3

*Cue the name jokes!

*Recently got into Avengers fanfictions. I TOTALLY believe that Tony would be Anchor. :3

3.4

*YAY! Got Equestria in there.

*I almost made the Dragonslayers actual DRAGONS... almost.

3.5

*Who was in the closet with Laxus?! Not even I know. At least you guys see the beginning of Laxus's first loop! :D

*And yes they only Awoke inside the closet.

3.6

*In honor of the book The Giver that I'm reading for ELA. I read ahead when the rest of the class has only read like three chapters. I finished the book yesterday... not a big fan of the ending. I can imagine Jonas would be starting a revolution every loop. X3


WOOT! Done with this chapter! :D Please Read and Review and tell me what you guys think!

Btw, I will be uploading the next chapter of Old Friendships either today or tomorrow because I'm not going to bother trying to post them seconds apart anymore.

In another piece of news that you wouldn't care about whatsoever, I finally got the hang of using Ctrl + b , Ctrl + i , and Ctrl + u to bold, italicize, and underline when typing things up! It makes writing so much easier! WHY DID I NOT START DOING THIS SOONER! DX

(Ignore my ranting I'm just excited.)
