4.1 How To Train Your Dragon Verse

Venus was not going to enjoy this loop, she just knew it.

First she awoke as a human who, according to her loop memories, lived in a Viking village plagued by one big problem.

Then, the very night she awoke the village was attacked by that very problem. Dragons. It just had to be dragons.

After a long and sleepless night, she eventually met with this world's Anchor only to find out the most unbelievable news thus far.

"The dragons are harmless?" she asked in utter disbelief, staring at the boy who said that incredulously.

The Anchor of the world was a small teenager named Hiccup, and he shifted nervously under her scrutiny.

"Well, yeah," he said. "They're just misunderstood. They have to raid because their queen is making them do it. Right, Toothless?"

He directed the question at the large black dragon standing next to him. The dragon nodded its head and gave Venus a gummy smile.

Venus frowned. "I don't believe this," she grumbled.

"It's true," Hiccup insisted. "I'm guessing you're from a world where dragons aren't so nice? At least, those are the types of worlds that get reactions like yours."

"That is an understatement," said Venus. "My world was once ruled by dragons, but they were cruel and tyrannical rulers. To stop them a Shinobi Shaman had them locked away within an enchanted glass long ago. But in recent times they have broken free by killing my master, and wish to rule the world again."

"Oh, wow," said Hiccup, unsure about how to deal with that. "Well they're not like that here. Please, just give them a chance."

Venus looked unsure. "It is hard to give the species that wishes to eat you and your loved ones for dinner 'a chance'."

"Toothless doesn't want to eat you," Hiccup assured her. "Right, bud?"

The dragon nodded.

"Not even for my mutagen?" Venus had to ask, momentarily forgetting she was human in this loop.

"Mutagen?"

"Yes," she said. "The mutagen that makes me a teenage mutant ninja turtle."

Hiccup stared at her for a long minute. "You're a what?"


4.2 1987 Verse

The loop started like they all did. Michelangelo woke up in his bunk, went to breakfast, and saw the usual date on the morning paper reporting the robberies at the high-tech facilities. They would be saving April for the first time (again) tonight.

What was different this time was the look on Raphael's face when he caught sight of the paper.

"Michelangelo, why are you looking at that old paper?" he asked. "Why not get today's?"

Michelangelo stared at him, then glanced at the paper, then back at him. Could it be that he…

"That is today's," called Donatello from where he was gathering the cereal to put on their pizza.

Now Raphael looked confused. "But-" he started to say, but Michelangelo cut him off.

"It looks like the same old one it always looks like," he said quickly. "Can't tell one from another without the date."

"But-" Raphael started to say again, but was cut off a second time by Michelangelo grabbing him by the shoulder.

"I need to talk to you real quick," said the orange wearing turtle dragging him away.

Once they were out of earshot of the rest, Michelangelo turned to Raphael.

"What was the date yesterday? Do you remember, dude?" he asked.

"November second 1996," said Raphael in confusion. "We finally beat Lord Dregg."

He definitely was awake. There was no way he'd know about that if he wasn't.

"Hate to break it to you dude," said Michelangelo holding up the paper. "But time's been put on rewind for now."

Raphael took the paper and looked at it more closely.

"But this is the day that-"

"We met April," finished Michelangelo, "yup."

Raphael started to look annoyed. "Are you yanking my chain?" he asked.

Michelangelo stuck his head back where the others were still preparing breakfast. "Hey guys, does April sound familiar to you?"

They looked over at him in surprise. "The month?" asked Leonardo.

"Is this a late April Fools day thing?" asked Donatello.

"It is the month we must be most careful," said Master Splinter. "The frequent showers flood many of the tunnels."

"Thanks," Michelangelo called, before turning back to Raphael, who looked like he'd been clubbed over the head by a trout.

"See what I mean dude?" asked Michelangelo. "We're the only ones who notice."

He then explained as best he could to Raphael what was happening and what is in store for them.

Raphael glances over at you. "Just my luck. Déjà vu, only worse."

"It's not all bad," said Michelangelo. "Knowing what's coming makes the fights go easier. And I know of more opportunities to pull one over on old Shred-Head."

Now Raphael looked interested. He gave the other turtle a conspiratory grin. "A chance to make a monkey out of the Shredder. Please tell me more."


4.3 Star Wars Verse

Living life as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is guaranteed to involve a lot of weirdness. Since becoming aware of the loops, they had taken a turn for the even stranger, leading Leonardo03 to mistakenly think he had seen it all.

Oh how wrong he was.

He was standing on a narrow metal bridge dueling with light sabers against the Shredder, who's breathing had taken on a very Vader-like tone.

With his own sword skills he was able to hold his own against him.

At least until his hand got cut off. With a cry of pain Leo fell to his knees.

Shredder looked down at him. "There is no escape," he said menacingly. "Don't make me destroy you."

Leo only backed away from him, clutching his stump where his hand used to be to his chest and glaring.

"Leonardo, you do not yet realize your importance," the Shredder continued. "You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy."

"I'll never join you," snapped Leo.

"If you only knew the power of the Dark Side," said the Shredder. "Splinter never told you what happened to your father."

Remembering what had happened to this loop's Splinter, Leo glared at Shredder.

"You killed my father," he snarled angrily.

"No, Leonardo," said the Shredder. "I am your father.

Leo couldn't jump off that bridge fast enough.

There was one thing for sure.

"Mikey must never finding out about this loop," Leo said to himself as he fell.


4.4 2012 Verse

When Karai awoke for this loop the first thing that she noticed was that she had apparently shrunk.

Then she caught sight of her reflection, and realized she was starting this loop as a toddler.

She scowled at her reflection upon realizing that. It would only make things more difficult to escape the Shredder and reach her family.

Taking a look at her unfamiliar surroundings, she noticed she was apparently in a hotel room. A look out her window showed the familiar buildings of New York. At least she wouldn't have to go far.

But she didn't remember ever going to New York as a child, something wasn't adding up.

Just then, the door to the hotel room opened. In walked Hamato Yoshi carrying breakfast, and looking as human as he did in his old pictures.

That was when Karai's loop memories clicked into place. In this variant loop the Shredder hadn't kidnapped her. Her father had managed to save her after her mother's death. Yoshi had the taken her and fled to America for their safety.

Karai, no, Miwa stared up at her father in shock as she processed this. It was something she had wanted but thought she'd never have. A second chance to grow up with her real family and just be Miwa, not Karai who was raised by the Shredder.

Her real family, which was currently lacking her brothers. She'd have to fix that.

For a brief moment Miwa mourned the fact that she had awoken too late to see Tang Shen.

But she pushed the thought from her head. She had work to do, and her loop memories told her that her father had promised her something very important today.

"Can we go to the pet store now, Otōsan?" she asked eagerly.

Her father smiled at her. "After you finish your breakfast, my daughter."

Later that morning Miwa exited the pet shop with Yoshi, the latter of whom was carrying a glass bowl containing their new purchases. Four baby turtles.

Now all she needed to do was to find some mutagen and she would have her brothers.

Just then a disguised Kraang passed by them on the sidewalk, and Yoshi eyed him suspiciously.

Perfect.


4.5 Movie Verse

Raphael stared at his brother's prone form in the bathtub. The loop had started fairly baseline, and Mikey was not awake for it. But now he found that his role had been reversed with Leo's in one important event.

This time it hadn't been Raph who was ambushed by the Foot on April's roof. It had been Leo who had taken the beating and fallen though the skylight.

Raph couldn't stop kicking himself over it. He'd known it was coming, and he hadn't even noticed that his brother had been missing during that time.

So now he was keeping a constant vigil as his brother slept in the bathtub. It was the least he could do. After all, Leo had done the same for him.

"You idiot," he mumbled to Leo. "Why'd you have to go up there?"

He wasn't expecting a response. But to his great surprise he got one.

"Couldn't let it happen to you again," Leo mumbled as he slowly opened his eyes. "Had to protect you."

Raph could only stare at his brother as the realization set in. His brother was awake, and in more ways then one.


4.6 2012 Verse

Thanks to his subspace pocket, Donatello03 was able to keep his trans-dimensional portal stick instead of having to build it again and again like he'd been doing to deliver the communicators after every loop.

Now that he had it, he couldn't help but want to see the other Donatellos' labs. Donatello 87 had such a different method of building than he did, he wondered what he could learn from the others.

Hence why he was currently examining the lab in this universe at the beginning of its latest loop. Leo12 stood by the door and kept an eye out for his brothers and father, whom were being distracted by Karai (re)introducing herself. All except for Donnie12 who said he had to talk to April and had taken off. Knowing Donnie, he would stretch that out for as long as he could so he could spend the maximum amount of time with her.

"I still don't think this is such a good idea," said Leo. "Don't you think it'd be better to wait till my Donnie starts looping, at least? Then you can actually talk about this stuff with him."

"I can't wait for more Donatellos to wake up for just that reason," said Don. "But so far, I'm the only one, and I'm just too curious to wait any longer. Don't worry, I'll be gone before you know it."

"I still don't like this," Leo said.

"Don't like what?" said Donnie as he entered the lab while Leo was distracted.

The other two ninja turtles froze. There was no time for Don to hide, and the new arrival caught sight of him immediatly.

Donnie blinked in surprise, then turned and glared at his brother. "Who is he?"

"Uhh…" said Leo, at a loss of what to say.

Don on the other hand, walked up to them, and offered his hand to shake. "Hi, I'm Donatello, but from another dimension. I'm just visiting, and thought I'd see what was different about our scientific methods. Your research on mutagen is really fascinating."

Donnie still looked suspicious, but couldn't help but preen under the praise. "Well, uh thanks. But don't go getting any ideas to steal my research."

Don waved his hands. "I wouldn't dream of it."

"Does him being here have anything to do with the time thing?" Donnie asked Leo, making both him and Don look at him in surprise.

"Time thing?" asked Leo.

"The fact that time is repeating itself," said Donnie. "And why Raph and Mikey didn't seem to notice? April didn't either when I went to talk to her."

Leo's face broke into a wide grin and pulled his brother into a hug. "That's great! So far it's only been me and Karai who've noticed. I'm so glad you're finally awake."

"When was I asleep?" asked Donnie in confusion. "Did the Dream Beavers do something again?"

"Dream Beavers?" asked Don incredulously.

"Don't ask," muttered Leo.

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" asked Donnie impatiently.

"Well little brother," said Leo, "it's a long story…"


4.7 Prime Verse

Leonardo didn't know what to think when his brothers all pulled their Sensei into a hug at the beginning of his next loop. Nor did Master Splinter from the looks of it.

Leo got a pretty good idea what had happened from the three of them's excited babble after the broke the hug.

"Let me get this straight?" he asked. "You all remember what will happens in the future?"

His answer was a unanimous yes.

Master Splinter was watching the proceedings in contemplation. "My son," he said to Leo. "You appear to know more about this than your brothers do. Perhaps you could explain what is happening?"

"Yes, Sensei," said Leo. He then explained everything to his family. They then started to plan what they would do with their future knowledge.

The next loop, Master Splinter was awake as well.


4.8 Equestria Verse

"You know a loop is going to be weird when you wake up as a pony," Raphael87 tells you as he examines himself in a reflective shop window next to Michelangelo87.

They still looked almost identical, both were mask wearing green ponies. But the differences lay in the colors of their masks, which matched their manes.

"It's not so bad, dude," said Michelangelo. "At the very least, we've been through weirder."

"And what does that say about us?" was the reply.

"First time Loopers in Equestria?" asked a voice behind them.

They turned to see a purple unicorn and a bouncing pink pony standing behind them.

"He's a Looper, I'm an Anchor," said Michelangelo. "And yeah, it's our first time here. Name's Michelangelo, and his is my bro Raphael."

The pink pony let out a high-pitched squeal. "Oooo newbies. Hi I'm Pinkie Pie. Just wait, I'll throw you a Super-Duper Welcome to Ponyville Party!"

Michelangelo's face lit up. "A party! Now you're talking my language, sister. I am one party dude."

Pinkie Pie beamed at finding a fellow party animal. The two of them hurried off to start putting it together.

"Left in the dust for a girl, typical," said Raphael in a sarcastic voice with no real bite to it.

"Sorry about Pinkie," said the purple unicorn. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, the Anchor for this world. Welcome to Equestria. Where are you from?"

"New York," said Raphael.

"So I guess you're usually a human," Twilight replied. "Is this your first time turning into something else?"

"Naw," said Raphael. "Normally I'm a teenage mutant ninja turtle. And I have been turned into other stuff before."

Twilight stared at him for a second. "Well, I've never heard that one before."

"Our lives are weird," said Raphael matter-of-factly.

"Well you're welcome to take a break from that in this loop," said Twilight, taking it in stride. "Equestria loops are sanctuary loops. We do our best to let Loopers and Anchors take a vacation while they're here. We even have things like counseling for those with worlds that aren't all that nice."

"A vacation does sound nice," said Raphael. Then he paused as something occurred to him. "Wait, you said this is the first time you've heard of teenage mutant ninja turtles?"

"Yes," said Twilight uncertainly. "Why?"

"I'm part of multi-verse of hundreds," said Raphael. "My brothers and I have dimensional counterparts in several different dimensions, and a bunch of them are looping too. I guess no one from them has come here yet."

Twilight's eyes widened when she heard that. "Oh wow," she said. "I know that that's possible from the two different versions of Spyro the dragon I've met. But for several dimensional counterparts…"

"Apparently our branch of the tree is really, really big," said Raphael.

"I'll bet," said Twilight. "I'll keep an eye out for them when they come here."

"What makes you so sure they will?"

"Everyone ends up here eventually."

"Huh."

Then Raphael had a devious idea. "Hey, you mentioned counseling earlier, right? Does that include anger management?"

"Yes," said Twilight. "Would you like to sign up for some?"

"Not this me," said Raphael pointing at himself. "I'm just cool, but rude. But the other me's in the multi-verse all seem to have this one problem in common."

"Anger management?" guessed Twilight.

"You got it," said Raphael with a smug grin. "Would it be too much trouble to get them signed up for counseling when they show up?"

"I think we can manage that," said Twilight.

"Perfect."

Michelangelo and Raphael went on to have an enjoyable time for the rest of their loop.

Several loops later Movie Raph, Mikey, and Leo ended up in Equestria and were informed of the preset anger management counseling.

Mikey and Leo were tickled pink by that, but Raph was not amused.


4.9 Movie Verse

'How did Mikey convince me to do this?' was what Raph kept asking himself as the gaggle of small children and the birthday kid's mother stared at him.

Somehow (Raph had no idea how) Mikey had managed to trick him into taking his place at one of his birthday party gigs.

The screaming kids had rushed into the room expecting to see Cowabunga Carl, but instead were greeted by the sight of the Nightwatcher in the living room instead.

As the gaping stares stretched on with no sign of stopping, Raph swallowed his pride and said, "Er, Happy Birthday. Uh, Carl couldn't make it, so I came instead."

That was all that was needed to break the ice. The kids immediately took up yelling again as they cheerfully began clubbing Raph with foam weapons that he could feel despite his armor.

'They're just stupid kids, don't pound 'em. They're just stupid kids, don't pound 'em' was Raph's internal mantra as this went on. He hated to admit it, but the Equestrian anger management classes were helping him with this. 'Damn munchkins.'

He was so never subbing for Mikey again.


A/N Here's the next chapter. Please, please give me some ideas for this, I'm running a little low on my own.

4.1- With how dragons are the enemy in her series, I can't imagine her enjoying that loop

4.2- With how this Raphael is always breaking the fourth wall, I can see him catching onto the loops pretty quickly.

4.3- Mikey03 called it when he quoted it to Leo in that clip show episode.

4.4- Because Karai should get the chance to be Miwa

4.5- In most other versions it's Leo that this happens too. I thought I'd fix that. And now he's awake too.

4.6- Now Donnie12 is awake, and Donnie03 has someone to geek-speak with.

4.7- As I said, I'm not too familiar with these comics. So I'd really appreciate some suggestions for them. Fortunately a friend owns some of them, so I'll be reading up.

4.8- Because Raphael87 is a troll

4.9- Because Movie Mikey is also a troll, and Raph probably made fun of his Cowabunga Carl job one time too many.
