3.1
[Fused Loop to Equestria]
It's either Dan was going insane or he's in a Fused Loop with ponies. In Equestria. As a Pegasus pony with a picture cutie mark. He nearly panicked until he saw her sister who was sleeping along with a bunch of ropes. He began to tie her sister and wished she didn't Wake up. But she did anyway and began to panic. Because of this, he had to gag her by using various small pillows and clothing and began to pull her.
"Okay," Dan muttered as he walked towards Golden Oaks Library, pulling Amy along the way. "Forget the 40th Loop…"
As he went closer, his heart pounded ever since they were properly introduced by Chell and was waiting for sometime to face… this. He took deep breaths before he knocked twice at the door. The door opened and a familiar face caused him to step back.
"Uh… hi?" she called. Dan struggled to keep himself from panicking.
From there he managed to speak a word out. "Hi."
"Do you need anything?" she asked. Dan immediately thought of something and spoke.
"Uh… I get that not all first Fused Loops are bad enough to—" Dan immediately caught his tongue at a bad timing. He might have finish it as well. "— cause fear and trauma?"
The pony recoiled as she pulled Dan in who pulled Amy, who was tied to a chair, in.
"You… what?" Twilight asked to the new Looper/Anchor, Dan Cahill, who was looking around suspiciously, like he knew something will happen her, but she was sure no one was. Or so she thought.
"Yeah…" He looked at his hoof. "Worst Loop, Loop no. 40, first Fused Loop."
Twilight stood up. "Fortieth!?"
Dan nodded. "It was something like a flood. What scared is that it was a flood of something creepy… with a pony form. They covered the land too much…"
Twilight opened her mouth to speak. "Oh. I see… that's an odd variant." Twilight noticed another pegasus pony with a magnifying glass as her cutie mark. "Who's the one tied on ropes screaming and hollering anyway?"
Dan looked at Amy who was strapped. "Her? Her name is Amy. Sorry about my sister, she basically snapped during that Loop."
"It's okay." Twilight sighed in relief. "That's the first time a Looper reacted to such, you know."
"Well, it's always a first for something."
[Next Loop]
Alistair Oh, Nellie Gomez and Jonah Wizard just stared at Dan who had just calmed his sister.
"... so yeah," Dan finished. "mid-way, Amy snapped back to her old awesome self."
"How long was their baseline?" Nellie demanded. "Not that I admire how the Loops work. Free songs, experiences, strategies!"
"About five years, not to mention few months of the Clue Hunt seemingly welded between their Rainbow harmony light shows," Amy replied. "That, and I think Chrysalis was Isabel Kabra that Loop. Don't worry, she wasn't and will never Loop!"
"Yo Amy, are you sure?" Jonah asked. "Not that I hate the old lady an' all."
"Yes, I'm sure."
3.2
A piece of paper appeared in the middle of the Cahill Loopers as they were discussing about previous plans and Dan decided to read it aloud since he was Anchor.
"'Your Loop stability rose from a nasty 51% to 76%.' What's the connection?" Dan asked over the air, and a few words appeared and he continued reading. "'Less chances of Loop Variances, and more chances of a Tomas and a younger Luci—' WHAT!?"
Dan dropped the paper and immediately ran outside. The others continued and decided to chase Dan down.
[i]Bathala here.
Your Loop Stability rose from a nasty 51% to an awesome 76% thanks to Sleipnir and the few others.
It just means less crazy "39 _ stuff" and more "normal" hunt. Although there's gonna be chances of a few Loopers as I set up the final patches while choosing over the Atma or the Grima Patch for that Master Serum problem of yours.
Let's see… Less chances of variances, and more chances of maybe someone from a Tomas and a Lucian. The not-Stealth one! Irina's hard enough to detect! Gotta hand it to her, even Yggdrasil itself doesn't seem to notice Lucians looping.
also, make sure that some of the other Clue Hunters never Loop.
The snake will wake up soon.[/i]
3.3
[Fused Loop to Divergent and My Little Pony]
[Note: Divergent is one of the other stories that are part of the Infinite Time Loops but doesn't have compilation]
"I don't know how we can survive this Loop," Dan Cahill, Dauntless, confessed to his fellow Loopers who replaced certain Dauntless initiates as they threw knives in part of their initiation. "Can you believe it?."
"Yeah. It looks like a good Loop for a few others like us because I'm certainly enjoying it as it lasts," Shining Armor replied. A thought entered the former pony's head. "Hey, I heard that your Loop is something Hub-like. Is that true?"
"Yeah," Dan scratched his head. "I guess you can call it something like that."
Shining Armor decided to look around the Pit before looking at Ian Kabra who was holding a knife which he quickly threw. "Who's that one?"
"Someone who is afraid of his mother and at the same time a competitor who nearly tried to kill us in baseline," Dan explained. "Hey Ian!"
Ian looked at him and waved.
"So, any plans, Captain Armor?" he whispered.
Shining Armor smirked. Dan smirked back as they continued, unaware that one of the trainers was wondering where a certain Divergent had gone to and who were these new initiates who seemed to be talking nonsense.
At the Erudite compound, Twilight Sparkle and Amy Cahill were focused on creating Looper-compatible faction serums. That and helping Alistair Oh and Applebloom figure out the truth about the faction system. They couldn't avoid the glares from the few of the new Erudite initiates and their ambassador who was, shockingly but unsurprisingly, Ian Kabra…
At the Candor building Merciless Mart, Applejack couldn't help but feel rather awkward for the others. Sure, she was a bear of the Element of Honesty, but being in a faction full of truth-and-only-truth speakers? She might as well ask some questions.
At the Amity grounds, Ivory Scroll was writing on her journal as she was bored being happy and wanted something else.
Nellie Gomez watched everyone from the trains and the undergrounds as she faced the responsibility of being generous. If she could only get a message to them… A realization then came upon her. Why was she Abnegation?! She hated simple! Sort of.
3.4
"Ian must be next to be Awaken," Dan told the Cahill Loopers. "I've been seeing a pattern here."
"A pattern?" Irina asked, after promising not to go Stealth again. "What kind of pattern?"
"He's been rather acting strange," Amy began. "He sometimes complain about déjà vus, and he wasn't doing much as the Loops pass."
"I suppose so," Alistair Oh pointed out. "We should try to make up a plan when a new Cahill Looper comes by."
There were silence until the man in black— Fiske Cahill— stared at them from the distance. It gave Dan an idea.
"What if we keep Ian slightly away from us until someone [i]not[/i] him Awakens instead?" he proposed. "I really want the man in black to Loop."
"You're not—" Amy was interrupted by Dan who gagged her. Amy immediately pushed his hand away in a rather Lucian style, which made Dan think the clues he has been noticing ever since the last Fused Loop.
One; Amy has been telling the group how good Lucians can be lately.
Two; Amy has been acting rather similarly to Natalie Kabra sometimes.
Three; Amy made Irina expose herself for good.
Four; Amy just pushed his hand away like what Natalie would do.
Five; Amy has been looking at Ian for a while now.
Viable Conclusion: Amy just made Ian Loop.
Dan decided to shut his mind for a few hours in response. The last thing he heard was a few more thuds which he thought was the others fainting at the revelation… they would faint, right?
3.5
[Fused Loop to Equestria]
Ian Kabra Woke Up on a rather unfortunate timing. One, he was a winged horned pony, second, everything was too confusing to comprehend, third, where is he, four why does he have two sets of memories? As he thought about these, the door opened to find two pegasi looking at him. One of them reminded him of Amy for some reason until they spoke.
"I knew it!" said the brown one with a picture on his flank.
"That what?" asked the pink one with two papers. "He might be Ian? I haven't got to teach him the Ping, much less giving him a Subspace Pocket kit we agreed on!"
Subspace Pocket? Ian reached for his Subspace Pocket and pulled out a small telescope, wondering how he could've grabbed it with his hoof. "This one?"
The last thing Ian noticed was a pounce and blackness.
"That's… a really weird way to say hello to one of your Loopers."
"What should we do, Twilight? I might've introduced him late on the Loop I noticed him Awake!"
"Argh— Look, he's awake."
"P-Prince Cobra?" Ian managed to say after being knocked out. "R-r-right, me…" He stood up and checked the room he was in. He was in a bedroom, his bedroom, and a pegasus and a unicorn is with him.
"I'm going to chalk this one as a Formative if Ian gets interested in magic and, at the same time, improves his Lucian talent," the pegasus said. "That said, if you can tell him what's going on. I can already see confusion on his face." The pegasus, Clear Memory as his memories told him, then left the room.
Ian stared at the unicorn. "Um… what's the Ping? Where in Earth am I?"
the unicorn groaned. "First, I'll tell about the Ping later. Second, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm the Anchor of the Loop, Equestria Loop, and you replaced my teacher who is also the ruler of this land, and I think someone named Amy Cahill gave you the rest of the pointers."
"That name is familiar…" Ian looked around. "Where is she, anyway?"
The unicorn giggled. "she's right behind you, prince."
Ian looked back to see a pegasus face inches close to his face, making him jump in surprise, his instincts not working well. He was supposed to…
"I'm surprised." The pegasus sat on his bed, frowning. "I totally expected you punching me. Huh, I guess old Isabel's getting herself some kind of problem soon as she figures out that you know all 39 Clues."
Ian's jaw was open at such statement. "Amy?"
[Next Loop]
"Amy?"
"Yes, Dan?"
"Why did Ian Kabra kidnap us?"
"It's just something we planned up."
Dan stared at Amy who had the dreamy look on her face and groaned as they headed straight into a boxing area of a factory. Ian is on the controls, rather enjoying the time of his life being someone not Cahill for this Loop. Non-Cahill…
3.6
[Fused Loop to My Little Pony]
"So..." Twilight Sparkle muttered. "Now what?'
"Now what?" Amy Cahill, who was a unicorn since she was usually a pegasus, repeated. "I have no idea what to do. I've read all of the books you have, and we're both bored."
Twilight looked around and saw Dan and Rainbow Dash sparring. "Hmm." She looked back at Amy who was lying on a pile of books. "Still bored? Why don't you try using magic?"
"We all know how that ended up!" Rainbow Dash shouted from the sparring match.
Dan stopped and looked at the three. "Uh... what exactly happened?" he asked.
Twilight Sparkle quickly casted an eyebrow raise and a glare to Amy, who was just frozen staring at Rainbow Dash, who was rubbing her back as she realized what she just said.
Fact:
The Long Loop might get delayed. In fact, I might not do it at all. So, annoyed about ponies taking over most of today's snips? Let me show you three of the Loops I made/contributed. Starting with…
3.7
[Fused Loop with Tomorrowland]
"So Casey," Frank called as he finished a special pin creating machine which would soon call in more Plus Ultra Loopers from outside their home Loop. "Come here. I want to test something with you."
Casey, who was staring at a notebook full of her ideas and drawings of other Loops, looked up and walked towards Frank when he shoved a pin towards her pocket. Casey jumped and looked at the pocket and saw a silver pin. She picked up the pin and saw herself in a small room with Twilight Sparkle's Looper pamphlet on a table in front of her. Dropping the experimental pin safely back into her pocket, she stared at Frank and gave a thumbs up.
Frank Walker smiled as he pulled out a flash stick with a recording and sent it towards the pin creating machine and watched as a capsule with twelve silver pins inside gets created. Each pin contained a recording of what the Tomorrowland Loops plus Frank's Welcome to the Multiverse message. As Casey pulled the experimental pin out from her pockets with a glove and threw it away, Athena walked towards the group.
"Um… Frank? Casey?" she called. "Why do I have a set of memories where I…self-destruct?"
Frank blinked as Casey pocketed the first pin capsule in her Subspace Pocket and asked, "What?"
Somewhere on Yggdrasil...
You touched the mysterious-looking silver pin and saw yourself on a small room. In the room was an old man who was looking at a set of papers. He then faced you and throw the papers away.
"Hello? Can you hear me? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical. My name is John Francis Walker, although please call me Frank, and you might be think how I am talking to you even if I'm Loops away." The man looked around. "Let's go for a walk, shall we?"
You follow Frank as you find yourself on a futuristic-looking city which explained itself as Frank stopped and introduced.
"Welcome to the future," he said before breaking out into laughter. "If that makes any sense since we're looping and on time loops you never hear tomorrow. Now, into the basics!"
The area you were in began to get filled by people as you lose Frank out of your sight.
"Now, basic premise, we're basically part of a world tree computer named Yggdrasil, it's broken and now time loops are the ones saving it," Frank explained, shouting. "There's a chance of one out of a billion that this pin you're currently holding right now lands on a Looper who haven't been introduced. If you're holding this pin, that means you are invited to Plus Ultra, and find me. I'm the Anchor of these Loops."
You look at the back of the pin as soon as you heard beeps and saw a countdown timer going from 10… 9… 8…
Alistair Oh groaned. Not only he was given a strange silver pin, he was also invited to a Looping… innovation group. The Loops are strange, indeed.
"The Loops are strange, indeed," Irina commented at Alistair as she stared at the silver pin. "I think I got one of those too."
3.8
[Fused Loop to Quantum Conundrum]
Dr. Fitz Quadwrangle, Anchor for a strange Loop where he gets trapped on his own Subspace Pocket due to it's nature and the Uber-IDS, watched in his intercom as his nephew for this Loop, another Looper, overcame the obstacles his own manor threw towards him. He could ask who he was or he could just wait until the Looper asked. And the latter happened.
"Hey," the boy Looper asked to the air. "Are you Dr. Fitz Quadwrangle?"
"Uh, yes I am!" Fitz answered. "Where did you find that name?"
"I guess I know because during one of the first hundred Loops there was a Welcome to the Multiverse pamphlet with your name on it?" the boy guessed.
Fitz's eyes widened. So he did have a Fused Loop during that time! A new Branch at least!
"What's your name?" Fitz asked.
"Uh… Dan Cahill," he replied. "Anchor of the 39 Clues and best Cahill Looper."
"Pfft," Fitz giggled. "If we count all of the Loopers as Cahills, I'd say Twilight Sparkle's the best!"
"That purple nerd?" Dan scoffed. "My sister's better than her."
"Is not!" Fitz defended.
As the two Loopers argued, Ike facepalmed. Somehow his facepalming resetted the Loop into one of those crazy variants of the DOLLIs throwing various materials into the Loopers present. The two Anchors weren't budging from the argument however.
3.9
[Fused Loop with inFamous Second Son]
"So… What's the difference between this Seattle and your Seattle?" Delsin Rowe, ISS Looper asked to the Looper that was in front of him. "Anything?"
"Well," Dan Cahill crossed his arms. "The Crocodile's small, and the rest are just the same, I guess. Although the Space Needle is a Janus stronghold. I think. We didn't get to see my home Seattle."
"That's it?" Delsin asked, disappointed. "What does your Loop hold?"
"Hmm…" Dan looked around and saw similarities between this DUP and the *shiver* Vespers. "A big family that shaped history fighting for a family treasure, another family trying to steal one of the precious heirlooms to create a doomsday device, and a big hunt for those treasures."
"... And that's the gist of it," Amy finished as she introduced the inFamous Second Son's Anchor, Fetch Walker. "It's weird how last Loop Frank Walker told me to give this to you." She pulled out a small envelope and gave it to her.
"Well, it looks like the end of the bargain for us," Fetch commented as she opened up the letter and read about it. "Wow. Apparently Plus Ultra is going more than one worlds. What's this?" She pulled out a silver pin from the envelope. "Huh." She dropped the pin back and Pocketed the envelope. "See ya."
She neon dashed away as Amy looked at her hands.
Notes:
That's enough for the set. Did you know that I actually lost the preferences on the characters? Livid!
3.10
Dan was shuffling cards before he sneezed.
Bathala blinked. That was a nice way to end a Loop.
3.11
Dan looked around and Pinged. He saw that everyone was Awake so he let the Clue Hunt pass like baseline before he would show them something that might shock them.
After the Gauntlet, Dan pulled out an intricate machine and showed it to everybody who was present and Awake including a cloaked Irina Spasky. They stare at the machine for a few seconds until Ian Kabra broke the silence.
"What does it do?" Ian asked.
"It's my way of counting the Loops," Dan began. "You see, two Loops after the hundredth Loop, I drank the Ekat serum and created this machine where it can record how many Loops I had, since I'm the Anchor and I'm the one mostly Awake. The machine is divided into three parts, the clock, the backup, and the control. In the clock part, there are various hands by the powers of ten so I couldn't go crazy trying to say them myself. The backup is just a set of papers where it creates a backup number when it reaches max. The control is just a button to print backup plus a button to tell that I'm Awake for a new Loop."
All of them looked at Dan's machine and saw that the clock hands signify that this is their 2 millionth Loop.
"Wow," Amy commented. "I didn't know you would do such a thing."
"Thanks," Dan answered.
"Can you create more of it for us?" Alistair requested. "After all, we're family here."
"We're family until the end of the Loops," an invisible Irina added. "Until that, we should stick together."
Dan thought for a few seconds. "I don't know, unless you had some way to record all the missed ones…"
"Oh."
[2,045,223th Loop/Next Loop]
Dan Woke up, and noticed that he was Pocket-locked.
"Oh," he whispered.
3.12
[Fused Loop to Star Wars]
[2,045,338th Loop]
"Daniel Skywalker, what can you say about this Loop?"
Daniel Arthur Cahill, or Daniel Skywalker this Loop, looked at Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader before looking back at space where they were sightseeing. "Something my home would be if we weren't confined to Earth," Dan answered. "Only without the Death Star. The space station itself is really, really, creepy. Blowing up planets is not my style. I only have one question."
"What is it, my…son?" Vader asked, still trying to adjust that in this Loop, he had triplets; Dan, Leia, and Amy. Dan had apparently replaced Luke and Amy was just an addition to the Skywalker family.
"How does the clue hunt and the family line even fit on a galaxial scale?" Dan began. "I mean sure, there are those planets, the Master Serum made by thirty eight different items from different planets, and then the Cahills, which still makes me surprised."
"What is it about your Loop that surprises you for this Loop?" Vader questioned.
Dan looked at Anakin and sighed. "Apparently, Darth Sidious is your father. Go figure."
Vader's unseen eyes widened at the mention of the Emperor being his father this Loop. "That explains how I don't have a father this Loop…"
Leia looked at Amy.
Amy looked at Leia.
The two looked at each other.
"I don't know," they both agreed.
Meanwhile, a very confused R2-D2 beeped a few times, causing C-3PO to facepalm.
3.1: Ponies. I'm a brony, so excuse me for that.
3.2: Yes, It's…*
3.3: Because Divergent Series: Insurgent got released during the time of writing.
3.4: *…Wait for it…
3.5: …Ian Kabra! Tadaa… Yes, another pony snip.
3.6: Rainbow derped, leaving Dan slightly curious. They know how to handle one's business, though.
3.7: If you see Tomorrowland snips in the Disney Loops, I made them.
3.8: I still CANNOT made compilation for this! It's my first universe to Loop. Everyone loved Ike…
3.9: This is something I won't tell about.3.10: Shortest Loop, Shortest Snip.
3.11: Now, I slightly diverge from Saphroneth's (MLP and HTTYD Loops writer) way by giving Loop numbers. I know it's infinite, but we writers know things can come to end and we just made ourselves some contingency After-Loop snips. This one don't have one yet, so… This. Counter.
3.12: Because I got my Star Wars vibe running.
