Obi-Wan approached the planet as usual, but there was a bit of a problem. The Jedi Archivist mentioned that Kamino was in the archives, but it was condemned.
And he was about to find out the reason why as the Kaminoans were screaming bloody murder.
"MISTER JEDI!" he heard as the messenger rushed toward him. "Turn back. It's not safe here! The Clone Army spread out beyond our control!"
"Why, what happened?" Obi-Wan asked her, morbid curiosity getting involved.
When he had asked that, there was an explosion of blue flame as the shadows had revealed itself...but instead of an army of Awake Jango Fett clones...the clones were big-nosed and wearing t-shirts...and for once...fear caught up with him.
"WHO WANTS ICE CREAM AND SODA POP!?" a voice yelled, showing the Mandalorian Armor adjusted with a giant nose. The clones cheered.
"I knew that bad feeling would come back to haunt me," Obi-Wan muttered. "Just...not THIS bad..."
13.2 (cipher100)
Kakariko Village could be considered the same before and after Ganondorf had conquered Hyrule with the Triforce of Power. Sure there were a few more buildings and more people, but in general the village stayed the same.
Link lied back on the roof he was currently relaxing on, looking up at the volcano called Death Mountain. He had decided when he Awoke this loop to follow the baseline. Since he was the only one awake, if the resonance through the Triforce and no answer from the ping was anything to go by. Link felt like taking a break before tackling the Fire Temple, which was why he was ruminating on that roof. 'How should I go about taking down Volva-'.
"Chickens!" Link jolted upright when he heard the shout. He was reaching for his sword but stopped himself when saw what was happening below. A teenage boy with yellow skin wearing a green jacket and blue jeans had gotten into Anju's Cucco pen.
The boy ("Ed" if Link remembered correctly) was holding all of the Cuccos in a death grip while attempting pet them all simultaneously. Link watched on in horror as Ed hugged the Cuccos while saying "Pet the chicken." Finally breaking free of his terror induced daze, Link proceeded to turn on his heel and hightail it out of the village. He did not want to be there when the wrath of the Cucco's descended upon the area.
13.3 (Kingofsouls)
The sounds of heavy footsteps louder than any ever heard before was the first thing the United Republic Forces heard as they saw the unthinkable: A machine, shaped similar to a man or the powered suit of armor the Earth Empire gifted its warriors. The titan lead the charge, aiming its weapon - a cannon mounted just below the 'wrist' in a manner a zealous warrior pointed his weapon at his foes.
All the while, General Iroh the Second, son of the Fire Lord Izumi and grandson of Zuko stood just outside his tent, staring in fear and awe. One thought went through his mind at blindingly fast speeds, hoping he had an answer to it soon.
Where was Avatar Korra?
"Ma'am, we're receiving a radio transmission."
Kuvira simply nodded. "Quite quick for them to send word of surrender. I don't think I made the ultimatum yet." She reached for a radio, and spoke into it. "Speak."
"Budda Budda Budda."
Kuvira raised an eyebrow at the metallic voice that replied to her. Before she could question it any further, sounds of a scuffle on the other side rose for her and her crew to hear. "Unity, Turret has the radio." a metallic monotone voice replied.
"Turret, what are you doing with the radio?"
"Budda Budda Budda."
"No you cannot make the demand. We all agreed that Korra was gonna do it!"
"Budda Budda Budda."
"What do you mean my math's wrong? How is a seven to one advantage for Korra making the demand a mathematical error?"
"I think you need a better logic circuit Gun Motherboard."
"Budda Budda Budda."
"Turret is right Cryo Bot. Stay out of this."
"But I do what I like and I like what I do. And what I like is being a cold as ice ass."
"Damnit Unity aren't your bots three laws compliant?"
"Sorry Argent. They don't like it when I switch that option on."
"You can do what?"
Kuvira looked at one of her crewmen, who returned the same expression Kuvira was expressing.
Confusion.
Sounds of a scuffle rose, followed by light static as the familiar voice of the Avatar came to being. "You know Kuvira, this isn't exactly how I imagined this conversation to happen."
"Neither did I Avatar." the cold voice of the self-proclaimed Earth Empress echoed in the chamber of steel that was just as cold. "To what do I owe the honor?"
"Your surrender."
"My surrender?" Kuvira resisted the urge to laugh. This was not the time for humor. "Allow me to ask what would happen if I were to decline your offer?"
"Well Kuvira, either you surrender, or we fight. And then you surrender."
"Avatar, in case you did not notice, I wield the most powerful weapon the world has ever seen, powered by the Spirit World. Your allies are nothing but ants compared to my titan's boot. So no Avatar, I believe I will not accept your offer of surrender."
Korra said nothing for a solid ten seconds before she replied. "Well then. Your funeral. You want a fight? You got a fight."
Somehow the mysterious 'Unity' had gotten a hold of the radio. "Release the Korra-Tron!"
Future Industries
Klaxons.
Several of them suddenly sprang to life, the sound deafening as the few remaining employees suddenly decided that running was probably a good way to increase their lifespans.
This line of thought was positively reinforced when part of the floor shuddered, a dust cloud springing into existence before the floor split itself apart.
A figure then slowly rose.
A large figure.
If anyone watching could hazard a guess, the sudden appearance of a second titan of metal was something Kuvira did not expect, if her giant step backwards was any indication.
Especially one that looked like a robot duplicate of Avatar Korra. Indeed, the second titan looked almost exactly like the Avatar. Blue plates of metal simulated the Avatars prefered day to day set of clothes, and her eyes revealed a cockpit that was in the titan's head.
Another startling feature was the orbs. Littered across the titan's body were glass orbs, each containing water, fire, or finely ground earth.
Inside the cockpit, Korra stood in the center of the command center, the setup somewhat similar to Kuvira's. Sitting behind her in raised chairs was Asami and the Argent Adept, several instruments next to the later. In a circular setup encircling the edge of the room sat Unity, and her five assistants.
Whom were robots.
"You ready guys?" The Avatar asked her team. Unity scoffed as she turned around on her swivel chair, laughing as she replied. 'I've been waiting for this day since the Loop began. Trust me, ready is an understatement."
"Down girl." The Adept commanded.
"Right...right..." Unity turned to face her companions and friends, who were manning computers lined evenly around the perimeter. She thrust her fist into the air as she announced "First, Korra-Tron systems check!"
"This is Champion Bot. Defense systems are online." The robot spoke in a monotone style in a manner of a steryoplical robot.
"Budda Budda Budda."
"Engine core is online. The Bee Bots sure do make it messy down there though. We should probably clean it up. You know, for science."
Unity gave the Swift Bot a glare while Korra and Asami shared a laugh. "Swifty..."
"What? I am uptight about that sort of stuff."
"Mobility Mirroring Systems are also online." A purple caped robot spoke just as Unity was about to retort.
"Element dispersal systems are online. Cryo Bot demands violence, and he wants it now."
"Oh don't worry Cryo." Korra stretched, the titan mirroring her movements exactly. "I'm getting to that part."
And so Korra ran, the ground she ran on moving like a treadmill to prevent her from walking off the raised platform, the action commanding her giant robot to do the same. With each step the titan raced at the foe with surprising speed for a metal suit that towered over skyscrapers.
"Ma'am, target is approaching us!"
This snapped Kuvira out of her shock of seeing a Korra shaped robot. "Prepare to fire the Spirit Vine Cannon!" Kurveria then willed the levers around her to move, commanded by the power of Metalbending. The titian obeyed Kuvira's commands, aiming the blasphemous weapon at the Avatar's robot.
A pink glow warned the opponent of what was going to happen in the next seven seconds.
"Korra, incoming shot!"
Korra said nothing as her eyes glowed, her body now blessed with the power of Rava's untainted light. With flicks of her hand and fingers, switches, levers, and buttons her wre ficked, switched, and pushed, sending Korra's commands through the metal skeleton of her robot.
Korra-Tron slid to a stop as several of the orbs containing water and earth opened, releasing much more water and earth an orb that size could possibly contain.
The spirit cannon then fired, its pink spirit energy racing towards Korra-Tron with the intent to expedite the arrival of the next Avatar.
Korra-Tron then started to move in a manner that to Kuvira's surprise and amazement was Bending. The twin elements Korra-Tron released raced forward, forming walls of earth and ice just in time to intercept the beam. The force to the attack struck the wall but did not pierce it, the edges of the impromptu barriers falling while its core did not.
This was the second time in her entire life Kuvira could consider the possibility of something surprising her.
It soon became a third then the barrier, willed by Bending, split apart, the water ensnaring the earth before freezing into several hundred floating spears. With a thrust of Korra-Tron's arm, the spears flew toward Kuvira's titan, slamming into it and causing it to stumble backwards as people both United Republic and Earth Empire ran for their lives as they did not wish to become the collateral damage in the middle of a giant robot fight.
"You know, I'm actually glad that Harry Potter taught me that Undetectable Extension Charm the last time he was in Megalopolis." Argent mused. "Very useful for my bar."
"Please tell me someone is recording this?" Korra laughed as she readied for another attack.
"What, and miss the chance to give Tachyon a hernia? No way Korra. No way at all." Unity laughed. "Hey, watch this!" Unity slammed down a button, and out of Korra-Tron's shoulder a hatch opened, firing out three missiles.
Three missiles that soared towards Kuvira.
Simply watching the action was a rather stunned Asami, munching on popcorn. "You know, I'm actually glad I'm Awake for this." she thought.
13.4 (VS21)
After the Eds opened up Triple E Studio, the trio all decided on what exactly they were going to do that Loop in particular. Ed was enlisted to work as a part-time builder and also act as a scriptwriter for the film company, in particular he tended to specialize in making scripts for Horror Movies. Double D, given that he was the designated 'brains' of their trio was put to work acting as their head film and technical researcher, anything new that would come out of their studio came out from his mind and knowing what to do in the system. As for Eddy, he was put in charge of the only place he could have possibly gone in, he was put in charge of the film studio and also the head of the financial department. It was mainly his decisions on what to spend on, who to hire, and what movies he was willing to fund or to sell, that saw the studio making money as they churned out the movies.
Soon after a couple of years working and pushing out films, it was soon time for the awards ceremony, the Eds all huddled around their table, with their nominated employees sitting at the tables right across from them.
"Eddy, you need to calm down" Double D said to Eddy as he was looking rather nervous, "I can't help it Sockhead, something is not going to go right for us here, I just know it!" Eddy said back to Double D. "Ed, help me" Double D said to Ed. "Come on Eddy, we got this in the bag" Ed said to try to calm Eddy down. "Oh Yggdrasil, it's starting!" Eddy said as two people came on stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first annual Lionhead Motion Picture Awards ceremony!" The man on stage said "Tonight, we'll be unveiling our first ever winners, so without further ado, let's move on to our first category" The woman next to him said.
"You think we can take this?" Eddy asked Double D. "I'm sure of it." Double D said back to him.
"The Highest Charting Star award is given to whom the Hollywood Press combined with the responses from several newspaper polls from across the nation whom we believe is the most popular actor/actress or director in all of Hollywood." The woman onstage said. "The nominees for Highest Charting Star are... Martha Wilkes of Creamboat Creations...Samuel Jenkins of Maxipack Worldwide...and Nazz Von Bartonschmeer of Triple E Studio." Both of them alternated on delivering the nominees.
"Is this normal for this Loop?" Eddy asked Double D, "I've heard that Conan Edogawa was here once, last time we met he told me about this Loop, apparently some of the people that will come to your studio for a job will be Unawake versions of people from the Anchor's Loop" Double D replied
"And the award for Highest Charting Star goes to...Martha Wilkes of Creamboat Creations!" The hostess exclaimed.
Eddy scowled as he saw the owners of Creamboat Creations celebrate their award victory.
"No need to worry, we still have two more categories to go..." Double D said to calm Eddy down.
"Movies that capture the imagination of the public and show creative innovation often make it to the top of the movie charts. These films have achieved just that and will now contest for the Highest Charting Movie award..." The male host said. "And the nominees for Highest Charting Movie are... "There Was A Man" from Creamboat Creations..."In Her Name" from Old Rope Cinema...and "The Hardhouse" from Triple E Studios". The woman announced
"You think we can get this one?" Ed asked Eddy "I'm not sure, I know it's popular because it's a comedy but you never know..." Eddy said back.
"And the award for Highest Charting Movie goes to..."There Was A Man" from Creamboat Creations!"
Eddy had to down a glass of wine at his table to distract himself from the continuing celebrations over at the Creamboat Creations table.
"To reach the highest peaks of Hollywood, one must be able to achieve higher and better things than those that oppose you and at the same time be in a good financial state...Our inspectors have investigated each and every studio in Hollywood and we can now reveal the nominees for Highest Charting Studio to be...Creamboat Creations...Lionear Productions...and Triple E Studio" The male host said.
"We need to win this one, we have to!" Eddy said a little desperately as he continued to drink his wine...
"And the award for Highest Charting Studio goes to...Creamboat Creations!" The female host announced.
"Arghh!" Eddy said before laying his head on the table as he saw the owners of Creamboat Creations celebrate their clean sweep over the ceremony.
"No need to worry Eddy, we still have a long way to go here, and soon it'll be us celebrating over Creamboat." Double D said to comfort an inconsolable Eddy...
13.5 (AbZHz101)
Legend awoke to a rising sun, a small but steady lurch beneath his feat, that he was already compensating for, and the odd feeling that tended to come from standing on two legs and no tail to balance... Why did so many worlds have these strange creatures known as humans? With a slight sigh he felt his Loop Memories kick in. Okay, those deserved a second look through later but the most pressing issue was the one of why he was out here. That had was for a morning ritual of practicing some types of forms. Though when he saw them, he smiled. An adaptation of Fire Element Style as a human? Since it seemed that if he wasn't going to be a dragon in any given loop, he'd end up a human, that would be useful. Instinctively, Legend began moving through the first set as his mind continued to ponder. Though it seemed as if only the Avatar was supposed to manipulate more than one element at a time...
...Avatar, where had he heard that term before?
That was it! Jenny Everywhere had called him an "Avatar Dragon" when she explained the Loops to him! So this must be one of the Loops that she had visited! Though he had never learned much about that world to begin with so that didn't exactly help him anyway. Looking through his memories again he tried to figure out what he "role" was supposed to be. Was he supposed to be filling in for this "Avatar," who was probably a local Anchor if they were allowed to Loop. That also brought up the question of if he was alone this Loop.
With a grimace, Legend returned to memories of why he was on a ship. It seemed that there had been a war going on for the last twenty-three years-war that began before he could possibly do anything to stop it, check-sparked when the Earth Kingdom assassinated the Avatar, a Water Tribe woman from the South Pole. Going by the cycle, the Next Avatar should be an Air Nomad of about twenty-two, but there were doubts. The Air Nomads were the most spiritually inclined people of the Loop. That they couldn't find the Avatar among their own nation suggested that the Avatar simply wasn't there. Which in itself was not such a strange idea. After assassinating the Avatar, the Earth Kingdom sent terrible opening offensives into both Fire Nation and Air Nomad land for years before taking and holding the locations. It would have been easy for a child to perish unnoticed in the chaos. If that had happened then, it would next have gone to Fire, his own nation, who had the same problems as before as well as the fact that they had not known to search for the Avatar in their children, meaning that they were more than likely even more unlikely to find a Fire Avatar if it wasn't him this Loop-it was his job to set the world right... unsure. And again, had there been a Fire Avatar it was also likely that they were killed in the chaos caused by the Earth Kingdom invasion. Which meant the next Avatar might be in Earth Kingdom, being raised to see the other Nations as inferior and deserving of being wiped out. Being whose job is to guide and protect the world gone/raised crazy, unsure; mutually exclusive to previous condition.
He had been a young child when the Earth Kingdom struck his homeland and forced his people to evacuate, becoming refugees on the ocean, the only safe havens for them ships of wood, or for those learning to "bend" Fire, metal; some of the few materials that "Earthbenders" couldn't affect. Lovely. Hmm... it seemed as though this "bending" used a different energy than what he usually did... It almost felt like one of the few times Legend had tried his hand with the "Pure Dragon Kata," chi. It might be interesting to see what Ember could do with this...
Well there would be one way to check if he was supposed to be this "Avatar" for the Loop, as the sequence ended he held himself in place and let his chi flow into the metal below him. He recalled Terrador from the first loop where he met Spy could alter metal through Earth Mana but Legend had never gotten beyond beginning to feel the differences and similarities between metal and regular Earth. The best way he could describe it was that Earth was a union of many kinds for a common goal. Metal was much more isolated, singular in its being, but stronger in its identity for that. Thus it resisted more. But once overcome, metal was perhaps easier to manipulate because it stayed aligned to a being's mana, or in this case chi... Terrador speculated that it would almost be impossible to wrestle a metal from someone else's control if they even casually maintained their grip. There would be nothing for the stealer's mana or chi to latch onto. He breathed in and out. Inhale, exhale.
There. He could feel the beginnings of the tremorsense that he had developed with his Mana. And as the Avatar was supposed to be the only one who could "bend" multiple elements, it looked like it was his job to fix this mess. Lovely. Then he let out a sigh, and knowing his luck even though the last two should be mutually exclusive, this Loop would find someway to make the last one happen.
It was nearly an hour later when their ship first spotted another coming off the horizon. It wasn't one of their own. It was almost half an hour later before they had to acknowledge the inevitable, it was Earth Kingdom. The outer hull made of fired clay, the top deck and all between weapons only for the sailors aboard, to anyone else, setting foot upon it would be a death trap. And so the game would play out. Earth Kingdom would raise their walls, simultaneous tools for attack and defense, and begin bombarding the Fire Nation ship. Each strike doing little to the overall integrity, but adding up as the battle continued. Fire Nation would launch ignited coal at the Earth Kingdom, who would then shatter it with a sandstone shot and let it fall into the ocean around them, dousing the flame. Then they would pull the rock out from the waters, still dripping wet and send it back at the Fire Nation, the coal only more ammunition for their war machine.
Maybe the Fire Nation ship would win, or perhaps it would be the first to sink. Luck and skill tended to vary by the day. But whoever lost would either die or be in chains by nightfall. There was no nearby island to make for and gain reprieve. The soldiers didn't try to keep Legend from the fight. His body was old enough that he could be considered a warrior, and he was a bender. Though unlikely he could be of help in the coming fight, perhaps just to light coal without losing his head.
It took all of thirty seconds for that plan to go to pot. It started out normally, if somewhat tragic. A boulder flying at the teen's head, and the victim not getting out of the way, feet rooted to the deck. Then things got strange. Legend punched the boulder, shattering it into shrapnel. Then he deftly plucked a single shard from the still spreading cloud and stepped out of the danger zone. His hand went back and he returned the shard of earth at three times the speed it had been sent right to his attacker's Adam's Apple. The cloud of debris floated past him.
Then before anyone could quite wrap their heads around what he had just done, he ran towards the edge of the deck and jumped, flames leaping from his feet. He landed on one of the boulders headed toward the Fire Nation ship and kicked off again, redirecting the projectile into the sea. And so he went, almost casually hopping across the distance to the Earth Kingdom ship. He'd have preferred another method, but quite honestly he didn't have wings this loop so he'd have to make do somehow. As his foot touched down on the Earthen ship, he sent out a pulse of Mana and Chi from his feet, connecting him with the ground below him. The Earthbenders didn't even react. Well, if they were too dense to figure out what he was doing, that was their fault, not his.
He advanced on the first man who immediately tried to encase his feet. The man's technique and speed were deplorable, even without his connection to the ground he would have seen that coming a mile away. That was almost contemptuously sidestepped. His counter, a raging blast of flame downed the man before he even recognized the attack. Don't strike at Fire if you don't want to be burned. The next one tried to punch him in the back of the head. A little footwork and a twist of the hip and the man's own momentum was behind the force that introduced his face to the dirt.
As more came at him, Legend decided to change it up. With so many Earth targets before him, his instincts were almost screaming to use Electricity. The only warning that the Earthbenders got that something was different was the instant it took for Legend to shift stances, his curled claws becoming like beaks. Then he was on his next victim. Jab, jab, don't even watch as they jerk and spasm unconscious. There is point a, there is point b; there is nothing in between. Legend saw the last one across the deck fearfully, futilely trying to pull up an earthen wall between them. Legend jabbed once. A single bolt cleared the distance between them. A heartbeat later the man crumpled as a half formed wall slumped into a hill.
(AVATAR DRINKING GAME)
[kingofsouls][wildrook][Theburper][Hvulpes][Evilhumour][Jesse Lee][Leviticus Wilkes]
Zuko thought for a moment before saying "Never have I ever...been the Avatar."
As expected, Aang and Korra took swigs of their drinks. Unexpectedly, so did Katara. "Waking up from a 100 year ice nap is not a fun way to start a loop." She admitted.
"Trust me, Korra makes being the Avatar look easy." Asami drunk as she replied to Katars's answer.
"Thank Asami." Korra grinned as she watched her girlfriend with a special look in her eyes.
To everyone's surprise neither Sokka nor Tenzin took drinks. "Wait...are you saying that the son of the Avatar...has never been the Avatar?" Bolin asked, confused at the turn of events.
"To be honest, I don't really mind whether I eventually become the Avatar during a loop or not. No, who I really dread being the Avatar is my brother. Again."
Jinora sighed, the urge to drink alcohol physical age be damned rose. "Oh I remember that loop. To be honest Amon never really saw Avatar Bummi coming. It was probably the fastest end to the equalist movement."
Toph grind. "I've ever caused a volcanic eruption."
Bolin just groaned. "It was only one time Toph!"
"You're a Lavabender crybaby. There is no 'It was only one time!'"
"I've never been to one of Amon's stand up comedy tours." Lin amdinited.
"You know, it's a lot like fishing." Asami drank, along side the other members of the crew as Bolin called the little group. "Sometimes he's actually funny and sometimes...you just want to hope your ears suddenly stop working. Those puns can be murder."
"Never have I ever seen Amon do his rendition of Lonely Island," Mako said.
"Didn't that happen in Baseline?" Bolin asked him.
"No, I mean actually SINGING it. Amon pun included."
Toph clutched her drink for dear life. "Seen? No. Heard? Yes. I made him stop. Violently I might add."
"Never have I ever blamed the Ember island players being the Ember island players on the Ember island players." Sokka said.
Somehow, everybody drank.
"I never ever made out with Azula."
Zuko looked around the room and took a drink.
"Do NOT ask."
There was a thud sound as Sokka had downed the whole bottle.
"You too?" Sokka asked him. "Seriously, there's no double-standard for this..."
"Well, you are royalty. Inbreeding isn't unexpected," said Sokka as an afterthought, as he received glare.
"Sokka, remember the looper were you switched with Zuko and I switched with Azula."
"Yeah, Katara so... crap. Need a lot of Cactus Juice, Stat."
No one notice Katara and Aang taking a swig after that.
"Always with the cactus juice," Toph muttered.
"I never ever was a Fartbender." said Aang as he drank his cup.
Bolin though for a moment before he took his turn. "I've never destroyed a library."
Toph took a drink. "Bolin, using baseline against a lady? That is low."
Aang ws quick to interject. "Toph...you didn't destroy the library. it just sank into the sand and went back to the Spirit World."
"Was that library never seen again?"
"No."
"Destroyed. It counts." Toph smugly announced.
The clink of a glass touching the counter announced that Jinora joined Toph in drinking. "It was during my first visit to Equestria, as a Pegasus. I wanted to see how my Airbending translated to my pegasus body, so I...started experimenting. Needless to say, I somehow created a tornado and the library was no more..."
"Jinora. I am ashamed of you." Tenzin immediately went into concerned parent mode, despite the technical age gap between the supposedly younger daughter and the supposedly older father. "You know better than to..."
"Wait a minute tenzin. I take it you haven't gone to Equestria yet ?" Sokka asked.
"Well, no, but..."
"First rule of Looping Tenzin: Twilight Sparkles library will somehow be destroyed in some manner, no matter what.."
"Besides, Miss Sparkle was pretty understanding, as she watches it be destroyed every loop." Jinora explained. "I did offer to repair what I broke and make up for what I did."
Tenzin was appeased.
"Yes, I once heard that they managed to get the Library to survive it's destruction by Tirek... and the whole loop crashed." said Katara with a drink, a simple grandmother defending her grandchild.
"I have never gone into outer space."
Everyone gave Tenzin that look. "We need to fix that." Sokka announced.
Mako smirked evilly at everyone. "Never have I ever walked in on Zhu Li and Varrick."
...no one took a drink, to their mutual surprise. Mako glanced around just to make sure. "You're kidding me. No one's ever walked in on those two?"
There was a collective head shake of "no".
Mako pouted.
"Never have I ever replaced Zhu Li."
All the girls as one took a drink. "Honestly, I hope it never happens again." Asami admitted.
"Varrick is tolerable in small quantities."
"Yea, he makes Kai look like a gentleman' gentleman." Jinora added.
"We never did get to the wedding when I was in her shoes." Lin mused. "What does she see in him anyway?"
Everyone was surprised to see Mako among the drinkers. "...
"I have never been married."
Everyone rose an eyebrow as they just...looked at Jinora like she was that guy. "...What?'
"Wait, you and Kai never...you know..." Bolin suggested. Jinora shook her head. "I'm fine with just dating him for now.
As expected, the entire Gaang took drinks, along with Tenzin.
13.6 (Leviticus Wilkes)
Steven Universe (crystal gem in training, virtuoso of music, Connie's friend, lover of ice cream and ultimate little brother to three aliens) stared at the cookie cat ice cream sandwich that he'd been eating. He stared... and stared... and stared some more. After that, he looked up and stared at the other Crystal Gems. There was Pearl, looking confused and intrigued by the human desire to eat. Amethyst, relaxed and more than a bit envious of the food that Steven was eating. Garnet was coolly standing to the side, not really knowing how to act in the social situation.
Steven broke out of his trance. "I can time travel by eating Ice Cream!"
...
Pearl was staring at the gem that Steven had just pulled out of the mirror, horrified. Steven was exhibiting far more control over his powers than he seemed capable of, which was good... except he had used it to free this new gem, Lapis Lazuli, from the crystal mirror. Lapis, having taken the moment of release to regenerate into a humanoid, female form clothed in a sundress, was equally confused. She had some many memories, but at the same time, the pain in her back, the damage to her gem was...
Fading?
Steven stepped back, wiping his spit off of his hands. "Well, all in a day's work for the great Steven Universe. How do you feel Lapis?"
Lapis Lazuli was reeling. Her gem was... fixed? She looked at the boy who had helped her, standing there with a cute little smile on his face. "I... I..." To Lapis' surprise, she felt a smile breaking out over her face. "Thank you. Well... good bye." And Lapis Lazuli launched herself into the air, and left planet Earth.
Far below, Steven shouted up after her. "Bye Lapis. Have a safe trip." Turning to the stunned, horrified, mesmerized, shocked, amazed and worried Pearl, Steven flashed her the thumbs up. "Later Pearl. I have a new friend to go make!" Steven ran off to go meet Connie.
Back at the beach, Pearl watched Lapis fly away, and Steven run off. 'Well, at least Steven isn't asking any questions. But what could this mean for us?'
Then Pearl corrected herself. "Starting a sentence with a but isn't proper grammar. Then again, neither is a sentence fragment. These Earth languages always annoy..."
13.7 (Scorntex)
Katara stared at Sokka. Given he was the Anchor, he was required to be Awake for every Loop, and no-one but Sokka had any idea how long those Loops were, or what they involved, which meant it was incredibly difficult to determine when exactly Sokka was lying, or exaggerating something, or whether he was just plain nuts. Never mind that Sokka on a normal day was hardly the picture of mental well-being.
"The Cabbage Lord?!" She repeated, incredulously.
"Yup." Sokka grinned. Katara turned to look at Aang, Zuko and Toph, all three of whom were Awake, and looking just as confused as she did.
"Okay." She said. "Instead of the Fire Lord, we're dealing with a maniac who wants to conquer the world via cabbages. Fine. Do we have a plan for this?"
Sokka grinned madly, and reached into his pocket.
"I sure do." He brought forth a set of papers. "And it goes like this..."
Seven weeks later:
The Loopers stared at the sight of the twenty-foot tall rabbaroos that were visible across the entire horizon, gorging themselves mercilessly on whatever produce they could find. Which was mainly cabbages.
Somewhere in the distance, there was the pained wailing of the Cabbage Lord, as his empire crumbled under the advance of the merciless creatures, all their weaponry unable to forestall them for even a moment. The fact that most of the Cabbage Nation's attacks involved throwing cabbages at the opponent probably didn't help.
"... This did not go how I expected." Sokka finally admitted.
13.8 (DrTempo)
Sokka laughed maniacally. "Guess it was a good thing I made that second coffin for Gaara." Said Kazekage grumbled. "I didn't think think she could manipulate sand that well. And the metalbending at the end there...Goes to show I still have a lot to learn."
Toph just laughed. "Now I can really call myself the best earth user in the Loops! Eat it, Gaara!"
"I have to admit," Gaara muttered, "you caught me off-guard that time."
Toph smirked. "Well, being a blind Earthbender has its advantages," she replied. "Still, you fought well, I'll admit that. Had you used your Looping abilities, I would have been in trouble."
Gaara nodded. "Until next time?"
"Which would mean I need to start practicing...but until next time."
13.9 (Masterweaver)
"...so after the admins realized Sokka didn't live long enough to anchor the expansion, they tried to make Raava the new anchor. But her connection with Vaatu caused more than a few problems and in the end they dropped that idea, plucked up Jinora. Which, of course, means that sometimes she's Awake when she's in diapers..."
Applejack let out a low whistle. "That's gotta be a bit embarrassing fer tha girl... Still, guess it explains a lot." She slipped deeper into the swimming pool, idly giving her toes a wiggle; the sensation wasn't unfamiliar, but it was always strange being human after so long as a pony. "So, 'sides from me replacin' ya'll's ladyfriend-sorry bout that, by tha way-is there anything else I should know bout?"
Korra glanced over her shoulder, making sure none of the mansion's servants were around. "Well, your father is supplying the Equalists with weapons-he hates all benders at this point, but he usually mellows out after a few years in prison-and also there's Mako, who usually starts dating Asami after she accidentally crashes into him with a moped... Oh, and Varrick might seem like an eccentric CEO inventor, but he's ruthless when it comes to his company-"
The doors to the pool suddenly flew off their hinges and across the room. An old short woman stomped through the vacant doorway and stood firm at the edge, snapping out an arm to point at Applejack. "YOU! ME! EARTH RUMBLE! ONE WEEK!"
"DONE!"
"GOOD!" The woman turned toward the still shocked Avatar. "You need to do more exercise, twinkle toes, your butt is getting flabby." And with that she lifted her hands, disappearing into the ground.
"...What the flameo was that all about?!"
Applejack chuckled awkwardly. "Ah didn't tell ya? Tha first time Ah was here, Ah replaced Toph."
"What?!"
"Course, Ah was a blind pony 'stead of a blind girl..."
13.1 Billy army... bad idea.
13.2 Cucco's, we all know what happens next.
13.3 Robot fight!
13.4 Time to put on a show.
13.5 Well, I think Legend is in for a good Loop.
13.6 Steven doesn't really let the Loops affect him.
13.7 He got tired of everyone destroying his cabbages
13.8 Death battle Loop.
13.9 Toph is still the best Earthbender in Yggdrasil. She can't let anyone who replaced her do her injustice, after all.
AN: To all those wondering where the Loops went; know this that I am a slow updater.
