Disney/Kingdom Hearts Loops, Chapter Nineteen
19.1 (Pixel the Square): [Gravity Falls] / [Star Wars]
Pines looked at Boba and Jango Fett, noting how similar they were.
"So... is he the father and you're the son?... or what?"
Boba Fett looked down at Dipper.
"He is my clone."
Dipper laughed a little.
"You know, I made some clones of myself once. I made about 8 and it was not a good idea."
The bounty hunter let out a mighty roar of laughter, much to the disappointment and confusion of Dipper.
19.2 (SpokenSoftly): [Pirates of the Caribbean]
In Which A Small Mystery Is Discussed
"What I don't understand is where my heart's got off to," William Turner, once-again-Captain of the Flying Dutchman, mused. He and at this point his oldest... friend? Acquaintance? Lunatic fellow-sailor on the oceans of eternity?
He and Jack, basically, sat in his cabin aboard the Dutchman, sharing tales of what they'd got up to during this last repeat. Jack presumably knew what was going on, he'd be more perturbed by now if he didn't, but Will could never get a straight answer out of him. "Well the question is, William, whereabouts've you looked? Because it's never a good idea to say what you don't know if you don't know what you don't know, and you can't know if you don't know unless you've checked where you think you know."
...right. "Well. I've looked on the Dutchman twice, I've looked where Jones had his heart, I've checked with Calypso both before and after she was freed, I've checked several times with Elizabeth. I've no clue where it might be."
Jack got that look on his face. Oh god that look on his face, this was going to be- "Well the answer's quite simple, then. It's with Elizabeth."
-confusing. "What?"
"Oh not this one, mate. No, see I've noticed that when a man's got something very dear to him, such as neither time nor tide can separate no matter their efforts, it comes back in time wiv 'im. Or the connection does, in your case," he added, his filth-caked fingernail a very short distance from Will's eyeball. "It's why I've no doubt Barbossa will be keeping that curse if he decides some time to not get rid of it and subsequently begins to join us on our little cycle through history. However, young William, your heart no longer carries such a connection to you such as time and tide may never separate no matter their efforts, and so it's stayed with Elizabeth. Your Elizabeth, the one what's long away and far ago been replaced... or... written over, or repeated. savvy?"
Will... somewhat understood, strange as the thought was. He'd cut his heart out to sail on the Dutchman (or, rather, to save his life, with the Dutchman as a sort of prerequisite), and the Dutchman's magic had sustained him without a heart. Now he didn't have a heart, but he still had the Dutchman. And Elizabeth, though with her never remembering what happened like him and Jack and Joshamee Gibbs between the repeats, Will had been feeling a fair deal closer to the Dutchman than his (sometimes) wife. "So," he started to say before being interrupted in what was by now an almost-expected moment of strange timing on Jack's part.
"Congratulations, William Turner, you shall be a heartless wretch for all of eternity. Or until we stop looping back 'round to Port Royal."
19.3 (Harosata): [Toy Story]
Woody looked around. "Oh, you got to be kiddi-"
He ducked under 'a' block and climbed up to the top of the bookshelves where it was safe. Apparently, Andy was such a big fan of Woody that he collected a lot of Woody toys... which were currently fighting each other for the "favorite spot" on the bed. He turned around and spotted a Woody doll climbing up. "Hey! I'm not gonna fight for the spot!"
"Neither am I!" Other Woody sat down. "Geez, and I thought the time everyone got Buzz for Andy was worse."
"Yeah..." Woody remembered when that variation happened. "What? You remember that? Who brought you in?"
"What are you talking about? I was in Andy's bedroom trying to repair the radio." Other Woody glared at him. "I'm the real Woody."
"No, I am..." Woody backed away as the other cowboy raised his fists. "And I remember the last time I fought a toy who took my favorite spot, Buzz and I ended up in Sid's house. Do any of you Woodies remember that!?"
The fighting quickly stopped, and they all remembered Sid's house. Woody cleared his throat. "Good, that part's over. Now, we're going determine an order of who gets the spot for each day, but first, which one of you wants to get shipped with Woody's pals to Japan?"
19.4 (ThanosCradik): [Kingdom Hearts] / [Fantasy Life]
'Key' Item
Sora entered the Guild Office in Castele rather late, dragging a rather large crate behind him. Reaching the Bounty Counter he caught the clerk's attention. "Excuse me, can I get some help, please?"
"Yes? Oh, what did you bring?"
"It's a… uh… a Forest Wraith, I think."
"Oh my! Only experienced Mages go after spirits like that! You must be quite skilled in magic, sir."
"Yeah, but it was hard, anyway." He neglected to tell her that he was a Mercenary at the moment, only having fought the spirit after getting lost looking for a different monster to begin with.
As she came around the counter, Sora took a minute to catch his breath. Even with the wagon he bought from the stables, it was hard bringing the monstrous lump of mana back from the Deep Elderwood. 'Next time I'm just going after one of those giant veggie monsters if I need some extra experience.'
"Thank you, sir. Here is your reward for bringing in the Forest Wraith."
After he received a bag of Dosh he couldn't help but think, 'Heh, the name of this world's money is rather silly.' (Right, and 'Munny' is quite a serious thing, huh?)
As he turned toward the door, the clerk stopped him. "Oh, hang on a moment! I found something in here!"
Returning to his house in Southern Castele, he found Yuelia sitting up on her bed in the corner munching on a Lunares Pie (her favorite), her legs wrapped up carefully. Turning, she greeted him. "Welcome back, Sora. How was your quest?"
"It was pretty tough, actually. Me and Jude got lost and ran into a different monster that was even harder. Seriously, it's like every time I fight something it becomes an epic showdown! Need to remember to give Jude his share tomorrow."
"Wow! Sorry I couldn't join you, my magic could have helped out. It kind of sucks that my entry into Reveria was more… painful… this loop."
"Don't worry about something you couldn't control. You just focus on healing up, alright?" After reassuring her he brought out his new prize. "Anyway, I was wondering if you knew what this was." He showed her a rather large key that was pretty long, with curved teeth on the end. "It looks just like my Keyblade, doesn't it?"
"Oh! You found a Key Cutter! Supposedly it can 'unlock the hearts of monsters', but we could never figure if that was true or not. Of course, by then most loopers either have found a better weapon or just made on themselves so I never got the chance to see for myself. Maybe next time I should try being a Mercenary or a-aw nuts I'm rambling again."
Sora couldn't help but laugh at her blush at the point. As he went to his own bed, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Maybe I try it out sometime.'
Yuelia couldn't believe the sight in front of her eyes. She had come out to rest on the patio of the house with help from Pam a while ago when Sora came gallivanting down the road to Castele riding atop the Ancient Napdragon, one of Reveria's 'superbosses'.
"Wha… Bu… Wh-How?"
Sora just grinned from ear to ear waving the Key Cutter above his head, "This thing works like a charm! I can tame monsters now! Oh, I am keeping this!"
"... I want one."
As it turned out, dual-wielding the Keyblade and the Key Cutter woke up its latent abilities and powered it up. Go figure.
19.5 (LordCirce): [Pirates of the Caribbean]
Elizabeth Swann sighed as she slowly rose out of slumber to the land of the awake. Kneading one hand into the soft, silken sheets, she stretched languidly, smiling as she recalled her fond dreams of her husband. Then she froze, frowning. Silken sheets? Her sheets were ordinary cloth.
Elizabeth sat up and looked around at the familiar, and yet foreign room. Fancy chairs, a fireplace, the ornate dresser. This almost looked like...
Darting to the window, she stuck her head out to look down at the streets below. The Governor's Manor. She was back in the Governor's Manor. Why? The governor had left her well enough alone after she moved into Port Royal a decade ago. Why would he bring her back up here while she slept? And why...? Her thoughts trailed off as she stared out at the sight she could just make out in the bay.
Why was an identical copy to the Interceptor sitting in the bay?
Elizabeth spun around, taking in the room. It was just as she remembered it being, back in the days when she had lived here with her father. Almost dazedly, she stepped around her bed to the dressing table, pulled open one of the drawers, and felt around towards the bottom. Her hand closed around a cold piece of metal, which she slowly drew out.
The Aztec Coin lay in her hand, glittering up at her in false innocence. She stared at it for a long moment. She was tempted to go chuck it into the sea, but she doubted that would stop Barbossa and the rest from scouring the bottom of the bay for it. After all, dead men need not breathe.
*Knock knock knock* "Elizabeth! Is everything alright? Are you decent?"
Elizabeth spun around, shocked, the coin slipping from her fingers to land back in the drawer. That... that was her father! But he had been dead for years now. How could he...? Slowly, pieces began to align in her mind. The Interceptor, the coin, her father...
But before she could answer, her eye caught sight of something on her dresser. Something that definitely did not belong in her bedroom at this time.
A second, slightly louder knock. "Elizabeth? Elizabeth, are you in there?" The handle creaked as the door began to open. Elizabeth tore her eyes away from the dresser, and replied as she fumbled with her dressing gown.
"Yes! I'm up, just grabbing a gown!" The door was hastily shut, no doubt her father was flushing a bit, and Elizabeth quickly pulled on her dressing gown. "Alright, you can come in."
Her father came bustling in, Estrella following behind him, and Elizabeth felt tears prickle at the corner of her eyes. Despite having over a decade to come to terms with his death, seeing him now caused her heart to feel like it was stretching and aching. He turned towards her, grinning, and held out the box he was carrying.
"Good to see you're up. I have a gift for you." He then opened the box to reveal… The Dress. Her eyes narrowed slightly at the dress that had both been a torture to wear, and had led to her meeting Jack and eventually, becoming a Pirate. Her father caught the narrowing of her eyes, and shifted slightly. "Is something the matter?"
Elizabeth straightened, plastering a smile on. "No, not at all. I'm just wondering what the occasion is for you to be getting me such a fine dress."
He laughed. "Can't a father get his daughter fine gifts without needing any special occasion?"
Elizabeth nodded, her smile teasing. "Indeed, though perhaps an attempt at matchmaking with a certain officer might spur a father towards generosity." Her time as a pirate had made her much bolder than she had been as the courtly daughter of a governor, and it showed.
He chuckled again, those this time rather nervously. "Well, er, yes, that is to say, um..."
Elizabeth stepped forward, planting a kiss on her father's cheek. "It is fine. I know you just want the best for me." She then pushed him towards the door. "Now, I know it will take me a bit to get into this fine dress, so I won't keep you." After he had uttered his last farewell, Elizabeth turned to survey the box and Estrella. "Right, let's get me into this thing." She moved determinedly forward, her mind settled on wondering.
If she had truly travelled back in time to the day she met Jack, then why was the Dead Man's Chest sitting on her dresser?
Elizabeth emerged from the room, carefully breathing in and out, despite the corset's best attempts at crushing her lungs. She had forgotten how painful this was. Give her a cut from a sword any day. She followed the sound of her father's voice, hearing him speaking to someone in the foyer.
She arrived on the stairs, only to find the sight waiting for her at the bottom drove the breath from her lungs, and brought thoughts of the chest still sitting on her dresser to mind. How could she have forgotten that Will, her Will, had been dropping off a sword this morning for the ceremony?
She couldn't hear what her father was saying, or what Will said in reply. The blood was pounding in her ears, and the last conscious thought she had was 'And Jack isn't here to catch me this time.'
Then all went dark.
19.5 continued (LordCirce): [Pirates of the Caribbean]
"Miss Elizabeth... Miss Elizabeth..."
Elizabeth groaned lightly as she stirred. "I... what happened?" She opened her eyes, to find Estrella bending over her, holding a damp cloth to her forehead.
Estrella tutted slightly. "You swooned at the top of the stairs. Luckily, Master Turner was there to catch you." Estrella gave her a knowing smile, before backing up to allow her to sit up. Elizabeth winced as she did so, as her ribs let her know they were still sore from the corset.
"What of my father? And the ceremony?"
"Your father said he would let the Captain know you were feeling ill. Or I suppose it would be Commodore by now."
Elizabeth nodded, faintly. It had just been so much, seeing him there. Her eye flashed to the chest on her dresser for a moment. She almost didn't dare to listen to it to see Will's heart still beat inside. She turned to smile at Estrella. "Thank you. I'm feeling much better now."
"As you say, milady." With that, Estrella left.
Elizabeth sat on her bed for several more seconds. This was all too much... Still, she had to know. Sliding off of the bed, Elizabeth approached the dresser. She reached out, tracing her hands along the bumps and ridges of the chest. She pulled it towards her, and then bent down, pressing her ear against the lid.
*Thu-thump Thu-thump Thu-thump*
Elizabeth straightened, a smile warring with a slightly worried frown on her face. Will's heart still lay with her, but was it the Will she had seen here? Or would he come in from the ocean, riding that flash of green?
She slid into a comfortable day dress, striding out her door and down the stairs. One of the butlers looked up as she approached.
"Going somewhere, madam? Are you sure you should be up?"
Elizabeth smiled. "I'm fine, just going for a walk to get a bit of air, perhaps I'll go apologize to the Captain for missing his ceremony." And she then strode past him and out the door before he could say anything more.
Her steps did not lead towards the garrison where the Captain would be, however. Instead, she strode purposefully down several side streets, before emerging into the small courtyard in front of the smithy. As she approached, she heard voices echoing from within. She strode closer to listen in, and see if Will was here.
"...can't do this. I mean, I don't know why I still go deliver that blasted sword. Better just not to face her."
Elizabeth's heart leapt in her throat at the sound of Will's voice, not quite as rough or raspy as it was when he sailed with the Dutchman, but his all the same. Then another voice answered, and her eyes went wide.
"Far be it from me, mate, to comment on your longing for your lady love. But I think we have a few bigger problems to be worrying our heads about." The unmistakable drawl of Captain Jack Sparrow brought a smile to Elizabeth's face, though it faded slightly. Why were they meeting together? Were they like her, cast back in time, or was this the Jack of this time, pretending to not be a pirate to take advantage of a younger Will? She knew they fought at some point in the blacksmith.
Creeping forward, she pushed the door open slightly and peered through. Will was pacing along the floor by the large crank for the bellows, while Jack was sprawled off to one side, atop a large crate. Will turned to look over at Jack.
"You're right. We need to find some way to sneak in and get the medallion away from Elizabeth. Then we can go and reclaim your ship."
A smile stole across Elizabeth's face at those words, and she pushed to door open fully. "Or, you could simply ask me."
Will spun around, while Jack just raised the bottle he was holding in a sort of toast. Will began stammering at the sight of her. "Elizabeth, I mean, Miss Swann. I, um, I can explain. This is, um," he glanced over at Jack, who was in the midst of taking a big swig from his flask, "my, er, cousin."
Elizabeth laughed as she strode quickly across the distance between them. When she reached Will, she took a hold of his shirt, and gave a quick yank, tearing it open to reveal his chest. Will went stiff as a board, while Jack spit out part of his drink and fell off of the crate. Elizabeth reached out, tracing her hand across Will's chest, to the slight scar that ran directly over his heart. She then looked up into his eyes, where she could just see a slight widening of realization.
"The chest is on my dresser."
Will's face showed a momentary confusion, then broke out into a wide grin. He scooped Elizabeth up into his arms, their lips crashing together passionately. Feeling him, holding her here, Elizabeth knew that everything would be alright.
Naturally, this was the point when Jack decided to interject. "My most, enthusiastic congratulations on your rediscovered passion, and reclaimed lady. However, could we perhaps focus on the reclaiming of my dear lady?"
Elizabeth pulled back from Will, sending Jack a brief glare, before her eyes widened. "The coin. I didn't fall into the water, so it didn't call the Pearl here."
Jack nodded, grinning. "Precisely. So, how about you go fetch it from wherever you've kept it hoarded away, and we can rectify your lack of soaking promptly." Jack followed up with a rather lecherous wink.
Elizabeth responded with a powerful smack, twisting Jack's head to the side. He blinked, then raised a finger. "I probably deserved that."
Elizabeth laughed, then grabbed the both of them and pulled them into a tight hug. Both men stiffened in obvious discomfort, while Elizabeth just laughed and held onto them.
"So, you've been repeating time over and over again, for years now? And you're still the Captain of the Dutchman, but not quite yet, so you can stay on land?"
Will nodded. After the two men had pried loose from Elizabeth's hug, they had sat down to explain to her exactly what was happening, explaining about the Time Loops, Yggdrasil, their future plans, and the like. "Truthfully, I'm not really bound by the whole 'ten years, one day' thing anymore, even when I am Captain. The Admin of this world, Poseidon, pulled a few strings, and he set it up so that, while I will always be a bit uncomfortable on land, sort of like a mild reverse seasickness, I won't die or be harmed in any real way."
Elizabeth smiled. "That's good. That means that you can stay with me and... what about Willie?" She sat up, looking at William earnestly. "Is… is he going to show up like us?"
Will opened his mouth, looking lost, then Jack spoke up from behind him. "You know, there are a fair number of object what that can't be broken, on account of how much of themself the ones what made them put into them. A child, which you and Mr. Turner here put so much of yourself in, isn't going to vanish due to something so small as the end of the world." He grinned, but it didn't quite reach his oddly solemn eyes. "After all, we've travelled past the world's end and lived to tell the tale, eh?"
Elizabeth sniffed, then nodded, her eyes projecting the silent gratitude she knew he would wave off if it was expressed aloud. After a couple of moments, she drew herself up and nodded. "So, what's our course?"
Jack took a deep swig, then leapt to his feet. "Well, Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Have you ever gone fishing for Pearls?"
19.6 (kingofsouls): [Pirates of the Caribbean] / [Sentinels of the Multiverse]
Jack Sparrow (Captain Jack Sparrow, if you don't mind) looked at the very out of place timeship that sat next to The Black Pearl. "Setback, mate," he asked the costumed visitor whom stood next to him, "While I can appreciate the fact that you conveniently have a ship in your pocket, and a rather nice one I must add, I feel curiously compelled and morally obligated to ask why a city man like yourself even has a time traveling pirate ship in your pocket in the first place."
"Jack," his 'friend' replied with an arm draped across Jack's shoulders, "I think the better question here is why doesn't everyone have a time traveling pirate ship in their Pockets."*
Jack pondered that for a moment. "Quite right mate. But I must insist you let me drive. I hear you're a very fickle luck charm."
"It was one octopus**. One. Singular. Uno! Not that big of a deal Jack."
kingofsouls' notes:
* The better question is how Setback stole it from La Capitan. ** I am very tempted to say it was Lorthos.
19.7 (Evilhumour): [Sharknado!] / [Pirates of the Caribbean]
Fin tuned out the screams of panic and terror as he chainsawed the shark flying at him, annoyed by the damn bastards wrecking his bar again. He had no idea why but he had been living through hell again and again with mother nature throwing sharks at him before making him relive the last few years.
"Ya not closing up early just because a bit of weather, are you mate?" The only non screaming customer complained, holding his mug out to him was another annoying aspect for this time repeat-almost as bad as the first time he got eaten by the shark.
"Look Jack-" Fin began to protest only to be cut off.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," the man frowned at him, throwing back his drink. "And I am a paying customer, so go do your job matey."
"Look Jack, I have to deal with these sharks again, save my family and destroy this damn Sharknado again so if you complain about no service again, I'll punch you in the face." Fin slapped his palm onto the counter while using his other hand to shot the shark that flew threw the window.
"Wait a minute, did you say time is repeating for you?" Jack raised an eyebrow before groaning. "Great, I've got to 'xplain things sober now."
"What are you talking about Jack?" Fin raised an eyebrow as he reached down to grab the bat to smack the shark that was thrashing around.
"Captain Jack Sparrow!" The drunkard frowned as he pulled out a sword from nowhere and stabbed a tiger shark that had broke through the wall. "And there's mighty big tree..."
19.8 (Evilhumour): [Pirates of the Caribbean]
Captain 'Jack' Sparrow was not liking this loop and wanted to get as drunk as possible as quick as possible.
"Another glass, Jacky?" The bartender smirked, holding the glass above the Anchor's head.
"Captain Jacqueline Sparrow!" she corrected, tempted to pull out her gun and shoot the bastard.
19.9 (BIOS-Pherecydes): [Kim Possible] / [Code Geass]
"All I'm saying Ron, is I don't understand why the Loops keep pairing me with Shego. I mean that is just sick and wrong." a female voice stated, before seeming to realize how that could be taken and hurriedly continuing. "Not that I think there's anything wrong with same sex relationships, I just don't happen to swing that way."
"I don't know Kim, I think a certain Rhonda Stoppable might disagree with you there." A male voice said in a teasing manner.
Stepping around the corner of the Caribbean lair they were infiltrating a pair of high school teenagers walked unconcernedly down the hallway. The male of the duo wore a black long sleeve shirt and cargo pants and was smirking at the furiously blushing redhead wearing a green tank top and cargo jeans.
"That's so not the the same thing Ron. Male or female you know I love you." she said leaning forward to kiss his cheek.
"Awww." This came from one of the pockets of Ron's pants from which the pink head of a hairless mole rat emerged.
"You said it buddy. So Kim, what's the plan for Drakken this time. First meetings are always fun. I say we go full on Power Rangers! Hiyah, wuzzah, woooo!" Ron said making comically exaggerated sentai poses.
Before Kim could reply however, an unfamiliar voice spoke over a nearby concealed speaker. "I assure you Mr Stoppable, that won't be necessary. I recently Awoke and am feeling a bit Loopy, but that's no reason not to offer you the full hospitality of my humble abode."
"Visiting Looper?" Ron asked Kim, who shrugged.
"Indeed. Seeing as how you both appear to be Awake, I would like to invite you to join me. Just follow the lights."
Sure enough, a trail of blinking lights lit up beneath their feet and led off towards the center of the base. Seeing no reason not to accept the invitation the two heroes set off. Not far from where they started they found themselves guided to a rather comfortable parlor like area in which two people could be found. The first was a woman with long vibrant green hair wearing what appeared to be a modified straight jacket bodysuit. She was currently using a familiar jet of green energy to, of all things, cut herself a slice of pizza.
The second was a man of rather fair features, or what Monique might have referred to as a Grade A Pretty Boy, with violet eyes and black hair staring down at a chess board while holding a glass of wine. Turning to greet his guests a small smile graced his face and he gestured for them to join him.
"Kimberly Ann Possible and Ronald Dean Stoppable. World famous heroes and crime-fighters extraordinaire. Welcome, please make yourselves comfortable. If you would like anything please feel free to ask."
Seeing the cautious looks on the duo's faces he smirked. "Come now, you have nothing to worry about. I have no wish to cause you any harm. I will admit it is a pleasant surprise to meet you both. I have heard much about you two, most of it even good." He said in a joking tone.
"To prove my sincerity, Ronald I believe that you are a fan of the franchise Bueno Nacho, and I took the liberty of ordering a wide selection from their menu for you and your team pet to enjoy. Please help yourselves." he continued gesturing grandly to the concession table at which the green haired woman sat eating her pizza while idly watching the trio's interaction.
"Cheese!" the aforementioned team pet cried before launching himself via force jump over to the table.
"Right behind you Rufus! C'mon Kim, no one who likes Bueno Nacho can be all bad right?" he said before joining the naked mole rat in attempting to eat his weight in Mexican fast food. Kim sighed, not bothering to bring up the Little Diablo incident so early in the timeline and turned to face their mysterious guest Looper.
"So then, you're replacing Drakken. And I suppose that that's a fluke Mister..." she said leadingly.
The man smirked. "I will admit that I wasn't exactly the most virtuous of men in my own world. In fact I would even venture to say that at best I would have been considered a well-intentioned extremist. However for the time being, at least in this world I have no intention of following in my previous self's actions. My name is Lelouch vi Britannia, former emperor of my own Baseline. Although apparently here I go by the name of Louis Lipsky."
Kim smirked at that. "Well then Louis, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are your plans if you're not trying to repeat your past?"
Lelouch eased out of his casual posture and assumed a more business like pose. "I had questioned that myself upon my arrival. However I found myself intrigued by the stories I had heard of your regular rogue gallery and did a bit of investigation. I can safely say that the 'villains' of this world are inept at best and self destructive at the worst. In fact the only competent villain I have found so far, not counting my Unawake self and 'C-Go'" he said pointing to himself and the newly identified green haired woman "was a man by the name of Jack Hench. His catalog is quite an interesting read I might add."
"And your point is?" Kim questioned tartly, not appreciating her baseline struggles being so casually brushed aside.
"My point is this. The villains you have faced are jokes. I have no idea exactly how many fused loops you've experienced, but there are those out there in the wider Multiverse which make the Lorwordians look like grade school bullies. I have faced some of these personally and, as what I can only assume to be an error in my Yggdrasil coding or deliberate manipulation by my Loops admin, have actually been even more. And against what I have seen, you and Ronald wouldn't last three rounds with any of them."
"Excuse me! Listen buddy, I don't know where you think you get off" Kim abruptly went silent as her body locked up against her will. At the same time a pair of thumps issued from the snack table where Ron and Rufus had been equally paralyzed. Lelouch remained where he was seated and calmly took a sip from his glass before continuing.
"I did mention earlier that Hench Co. has a rather impressive selection. Ultrasonic Neural Disruptor, for when you absolutely must finish your villainous monologue without heroic interruptions. Now, as I was saying. Your villain gallery is impressively unimpressive, however several of them have a good deal of potential to be more than adequate threats. Of particular interest is a mister Francis Lurman, otherwise known as Frugal Lucre. Did you ever stop to consider the true scale of damage the man could cause with his computer expertise. No, of course you didn't because he was a joke. And because he was a joke he could be dismissed, easily defeated and relegated to the scrap bin of yesteryear. As could all of your so called foes with the exceptions of Shego and Drakken, and even then their threat was easily handled time and again due to poor planning or simple errors."
Lelouch paused for a moment, staring apathetically into the glaring eyes of the redheaded heroine. "Did you know I recently had my first hub loop?"
Caught off guard by the apparent non sequitur, Kim's glare faltered for a second.
"As I said before, I have a disparagingly large number of Loops into which I replace the local villain. I would estimate it to be roughly forty percent of every fused loop I experience. This as you might imagine had caused more than a bit of melancholy on my part. It seemed that reality itself perceived me as an antagonist. However while in the Hub world I came across an interesting piece of internet literature posted upon a rather engrossing site called TV Tropes. Its name was the Evil Overlord List. It described in exact details how one might go about achieving and more importantly maintaining world domination and the perils involved in the endeavor which would have to be overcome and/or avoided. And so I have found a new calling. If I am to play the role of the villain, then I shall do so to the utmost of my abilities. But what is a villain without an equally impressive foe."
Lelouch stood for the first time during the conversation and strode over to gaze at the immobilized teen. "You will hate me. You will despise me. And I will make you better for it. I am going to teach you to stand against the worst the Multiverse has to offer and come out ahead. I am going to run you to the ends of the earth and beyond. You will learn guile and trickery by facing deceit. Politics by facing the rigors of the legal system in order to find, incarcerate and prosecute. I will personally train new and more dangerous foes for each encounter, that you may learn and grow from the experience. From rescuing hostages to ending the threat of thermonuclear war and anything in between. I will purge you of doubt and fear, of uncontrolled anger and gripping depression. And I will do it the hard way. But in the end, when you have seen the horrors which Yggdrasil will pit against you, you will thank me when you come home to find your loved ones whole and hale and all that you stand for still holding strong."
Having finished saying his piece, Lelouch turned away and once more took a seat. As abruptly as it had appeared, the binding holding the heroes disappeared and in an instant they had powered up to the fullest that the Loops had enabled them to and attacked the sitting villain.
Only to pass straight through him.
"I told you at the start of our meeting that I wished you no harm. I did not lie, in fact you will note that nothing I said to you was in any way untruthful. However very rarely do what we want and what must be aligned. As you have discovered this is merely a projection. Neither I nor 'C-Go' were ever actually in the room with you at any point. As a matter of fact I left immediately upon the activation of the proximity sensors. I also activated the silent self destruct feature. I estimate that you have approximately two minutes to evacuate the building. I suggest you not waste it."
The trio had already left the room, but Lelouch's voice followed them as they ran. "I would like to take the time to apologize in advance for what I will do in the remainder of this Loop. Hopefully the time will come when we can look back upon this as an unfortunate setback, but for now I must bid you farewell. Until we meet again."
Several hours later the crime fighting team sat in their customary booth at the Bueno Nacho as they finished explaining the events to their tech wizard Wade who could only sigh in frustration.
"I don't like this guys. What are we gonna do. I managed to find the manga this Lelouch guy is in and if he's serious he could be a major threat. Considering what he did in his own Baseline, I think we're looking at a Lorwardian level enemy here."
"Yeah, I'm with Wade on this one. He sounded serious and if he's as bad as he sounds we might be in some real trouble." Ron agreed around a mouthful of comfort Naco. Rufus took a moment out of his own meal to add his own voice to his owner's.
"I... I don't know. I mean how am I supposed to react to someone telling me that they're going to make my life a living hell because it'll be good for me in the long run. But even if he's right, we can't let him get away with this. Wade, how quick can you have an improved battle suit up and running?"
"You'll have it yesterday. What are you planning on doing?" the child genius asked.
"I think it's time for some serious training. You guys in?"
"You know it Kim." Wade said with a thumbs up.
"Umhm umhm umhm," Rufus agreed with a pat of his paw on Kim's hand.
Ron smiled confidently. "Anytime, Anyplace."
Kim smiled back. "Booyah."
19.10 (Archeo Lumiere): [Percy Jackson]
Percy Jackson looked around, wondering where he was. Last he remembered, he was sitting at Camp Half-Blood talking to Annabeth, wondering about living life in New Rome, looking out on the lake, and now he was back on the bus to the Museum of Modern Art, sitting next to Grover Underwood. Looking to the front of the bus, he could see Mrs. Dodds tense up, smelling his much stronger demigod scent.
Maybe I can use this. He thought, and as he reached into his pocket, he felt a familiar pen.
"ἀνακλυσμὸς" he murmured, but still catching the ear of his seat mate.
"What did you say?" Grover asked incredulously, promoting Percy to shush him.
"Don't freak out on me buddy, I've just got to send a message." At this, Percy uncapped one end of Riptide, and quickly capped the other before it transformed, although it still glowed slightly. Taking out a page from his notebook, he wrote a simple message to pass when he got off the bus to Mrs. Dodds, the Fury.
'Luke Castellan is the Lightning Thief.'
19.11 (GarnettFoxy): [Jurassic Park] / [Pirates of the Caribbean]
Roxanne smirked as she prowled around the immobile jeeps. She didn't often get to have fun and fuck around with other loopers in her loop (Mainly as she was more often awake in Jurassic World not Park). But at times like this when they had a anchor replacing Alan that didn't answer to pings and no one else awake.
Oh she had fun scaring the shit out of them.
Even Alan admitted still being scared of her at times despite being friends and having thousands of loops to adjust.
With her signature roar she snapped at the roof of the jeep (Not the one with the kids in, she liked kids) drooling to add effect to her performance. It looked like a unawake Alan, Lawyer guy (Who true to baseline made a break for the bathroom) Ellie, and... Some guy in dreadlocks replacing Ian.
And one of them was hitting the bottle judging by the smell of rum.
The door opened again and Ian's replacement stepped out Roxanne yelping and ducking to avoid a shot from his pistol.
"Oi! Shaddup! Some of us Ain't drunk enough to deal with ya savvy?" Roxanne blinked dumbfounded as he got back in and closed the door.
"...What...The Fuck?" She stared at the jeep wondering just what to do. "...Fuck it I'm going to eat those raptors." She grumbled wandering off to the Raptor pens leaving a very confused Alan and Ellie with Captain Jack who was steadily drinking through the islands supply of booze.
19.12 (Harosata): [Harry Potter] / [Pirates of the Caribbean]
DAILY PROPHET
POTTER'S BETRAYER ON THE LOOSE
Jack Sparrow had escaped from Azkaban. He was responsible for giving away the Potter's location to You-Know-Who in addition to the murder of thirteen people including First Order of Merlin recipient Peter Pettigrew.
Authorities are still figuring out how Jack Sparrow managed to escape. Witnesses claim they have seen a pink elephant, though these are obviously delusions caused by Dementor exposure.
Harry looked up from the newspaper and at the pink elephant across the street. Which then proceeded to turn its trunk into rum and drink from it.
"I'm pretty sure that just raises more questions. Do you just want to head down over to New Orleans instead?"
19.13 (kingofsouls): [Inside Out] / [Channel Awesome]
-Reality-
"Wow Riley, that's amazing!"
"Thanks Joy." Riley whipped the sweat from her brow as she stood back and gazed as her baby. It was a hockey stick, but it was not ordinary hockey stick. In her previous Fused Loop, she was able to get a hold of a very rare type of wood. So, thanks to her many Loops beforehand, Riley had been carefully carving it.
Thankfully one of her previous loops had enough time for her to learn woodworking.
"Hey you two."
"Hi Anger! Where did you go?"
"I was checking some of the new memories that formed since I was awake last. So, what's this new Island? The one with the ocean?"
"Oh, that one? That one was made about a dozen loops ago. A whole group of Loopers replaced you guys and they taught me magic. That's what the new island is."
"Hey, maybe you give me a tour next time you come here!"
"That does sound..."
*snap!*
''...fun?"
One slip of the hand. One moment of not paying attention. That is all it took for the stick to be sundered messily in half as Riley's saw dangled from her hand.
-Headquarters-
Joy looked at the horrors of what had happened. All that work, Loops worth of effort, gone in an instant.
The temperature in the room began to rise as Anger was feeling the same… only in a more outward manner, gripping the handles of the console tightly. Wisely, Joy took a step backwards.
A very, very, very long step backwards that included no less than four twirls and a cartwheel.
-Reality, one minute and twenty seven seconds later-
"Riley Andersen, I don't know where to even begin." Mom glared in anger after Riley's... outburst. "Where did you even learn that kind of language?"
"The voices in my head?"
-Later still-
Riley sat on her bed as she conversed with her emotions. "So… We're grounded for two weeks. No hockey, no TV, no nothing except school."
"Anger, would you like to say something to Riley?" What followed was an annoyed grumble. "Anger..."
"...I'm sorry for getting us grounded."
"It's okay. I understand though. I was working on that hockey stick for four loops. All of that work... gone. You had every right to be on the console.
Silence.
"Worth it though."
"Oh, no question about that. Yelling all of those curse words actually felt really good. Where did you learn all of them?"
In a past Loop…
Anger glared at the man sitting behind his desk. Due to the... size difference, Anger was standing on the desk, for if he didn't, one would be unable to see the red emotion from the other side. "So, let me see if I got this right. For the entire Loop, you're going to watch old movies and get mad and complain about them. And every now and again have an adventure with other people who also complain about things on this website you have."
The Nostalgia Critic though on that for a quick second. "Yea, that's pretty much it."
Anger couldn't help but smile as he extended his hand for the Critic to take. "Well that's something I can get behind. There's going to be swearing, right."
"Oh, there's going to be a lot of that."
"Great! When do we start!"
Standing off to the side, Riley started to sweat as she suddenly had horrible images of Anger's swear rants.
19.14 (Gamerex27): [Shin Megami Tensei] / [The Emperor's New Groove]
Slowly, the former ruling senate of the kingdom and current herd of llamas glanced at one another, not quite making eye contact.
The sole female of the group opened her mouth, as if to say something, then paused. "I suppose we did wish for Variants and Fusions all this time. Perhaps we should have phrased our wishes more carefully."
"Still better than home," the mutant, horned llama told Isabeau, with the rest of the herd nodding in agreement.
"...so, who's up for getting revenge on the bitch who turned us into giant walking lamb chops?" Naoki continued.
"With no Pocket access or magic?" the llama wearing a white hat chimed in. "I dunno, I'm all for something to do other than sitting around eating grass, but we might be in over our heads here."
"We've all killed entire pantheons before: each and every single one of us," Naoki muttered. "Don't tell me you're gonna let something like no fingers stop you!"
"It's not that." The programmer sighed, then continued. "...I think this is part of the Disney universe. I'm pretty sure I saw this movie, and uh..."
"...'uh,' what?"
"...there's a lot of weird stuff later on," Atsuro explained. "Really, really weird."
"...we have been through catastrophe after catastrophe, death after death, and the EDIT," Isabeau hissed, exasperated. "This cannot be any worse!"
"You know, back there, I think you spoke a bit too-"
"I. Know."
"Just making sure," Naoki said, dabbing at his makeup and reapplying his rouge. "Y'know, old me might have been too much of a wimp to cross-dress for a disguise. Guess everything we've been through drilled all the hesitation for everything out of us."
"...but how is it that no one in this restaurant recognizes a herd of llamas disguised as men and women at this table?" Flynn asked, poking a polished hoof from under his capote at the "no llamas allowed" sign at the front of the bar.
"Don't know, don't care," the Demi-Fiend replied. "Makes about as much sense as anything else here."
The llama with brown fur finally spoke up. "We're never going to mention this Loop ever again," Langdon said. "Agreed?"
"Agreed," said his fellow Amala Anchors in unison.
19.14 continued (Zerorock41): [Shin Megami Tensei] / [The Emperor's New Groove]
In the middle of Gabby's Lab, the Amala Loopers searched through her collection of potions.
"Why does an Archangel of God need potions anyway?"
"Why don't you ask?"
Turning their heads, the visitors saw Gabriel holding a whole bunch of potions (all properly labeled).
Isabeau asked the obvious question, "How long have you been here?"
"Actually we got here first."
This time, Langdon asked, "How?"
"Ah-" the Angel paused, "How did we Hikawa?"
Hikawa pulled down a map from the ceiling, "You got me. By all accounts it doesn't make any sense."
19.15 (Zerorock41): [Ace Attorney] / [Kingdom Hearts]
"Very well then. I, the Queen of Hearts, do hereby find the defendants Sora and Alice..."
Not Guilty
"You impress me Mr. Wright. Now get out of my Kingdom!"
Sora happily patted Phoenix on the back.
"Nice work out there Mr. Wright. I don't think I've seen the Queen of Hearts let us go, well, ever!"
"It is rather difficult, even when I'm by myself, to do so," said Alice.
Phoenix scratched his head in embarrassment, "Well it wasn't easy. If it wasn't for Donald and Goofy getting that evidence, I would have been done for."
"Well, in any case, what's next for you two?"
Alice spoke first, "If it isn't too much trouble, I would like to join you three on your journey. If I return to London, I'm afraid Maleficent will most likely take me from there. Would it be too much of a problem?"
Sora grinned, "Nah, it's not too much a problem. What about you Mr. Wright?"
"Oh, I've got to get back to London myself. Maya's not Awake and is probably wondering where I am."
"Thank you again for your help, Mr. Wright."
"Not a problem. Thank you for the new case to do." Phoenix then left.
Alice suddenly looked confused. Sora asked, "What's wrong Alice?"
"It's odd. I could have sworn Mr. Wright has defended me from the Queen of Hearts before. But he acted like this was the first time he had done it."
"That's weird."
Alice smiled, "Oh I'm sure it's nothing. It's been so long, even by our standards, I don't even remember the result. He probably just wasn't Awake that Loop."
"Maybe..."
19.16 (LordCirce): [Wreck-It Ralph]
Ralph always liked it when players managed to make it to the top of the Apartment Building. Sure, it technically meant that he was losing, but it did allow him to see out into the arcade, and occasionally he could even see Sugar Rush, depending which apartment he was smashing at the moment.
Ralph had just paused to pick up a brick to throw down at Felix, when he spotted something that caused him to stop cold. The front door to Mr. Litwak's Arcade had just burst open, and a dozen masked men, all carrying guns, had just rushed in. The girl playing the game turned at the noise, so she didn't see Ralph pausing in shock, and then proceeded to scream, dropping off to the side and out of sight, probably to try and hide behind the machine.
"Ralph, what's wrong?" Felix whispered, paused on one of the window ledges.
Ralph bent over and waved at him. "Hurry up and get up here."
Felix paused, before joining Ralph on the roof with a hop and a bounce. He turned to look at what Ralph was seeing, and his jaw quickly dropped. "Jiminy Jaminy..." Felix glanced at Ralph. "What do you think's going on? Alien invasion?"
Ralph frowned. "I don't..." he choked, cutting himself off, as he spotted Mr. Litwak running up to the men, holding up his arms. One of the men turned, and, without even pausing, smashed Mr. Litwak in the side of the head with his gun, causing him to collapse like a puppet with its strings cut. Felix gasped, while Ralph let out a low growl.
Wordlessly, Ralph began to back up on the roof. Felix turned to face him. "Ralph, what are you...?" He trailed off as he spotted the small device cupped in one of Ralph's massive hands. "Is that a...?"
Ralph didn't answer, instead charging forward, each footstep cracking the rooftop just a bit and causing the building to shake. When he reached the edge, he crouched for just a moment, then pushed off, shattering several windows on the front of the building, and launching himself in an high arcing path towards the screen. As he flew, he thrust his hand forward, the D3 clutched within glowing brightly.
"DIGI-GATE OPEN!"
Anthony Galvston sneered down at the fallen shop owner, before turning back towards the plate glass windows. He and his men had almost made a clean get-away from their heist, but the cops had managed to cut them off from the highway. This... arcade... might not be the most well-defended place, but the big bulky consoles should provide some cover, and there were plenty of sniveling brats to play hostage if they needed.
"Alright, Hoskins, Waller, Floyd, get the sacks into the back, and make sure there is no back entrance the cops can break in. Peytr, Lewinsky, gather the brats up over by the snack bar. Any of them give you trouble, feel free to smack them around." He made sure his voice was loud enough for the little kiddies to hear. "As for the rest of you..."
*WHOOSH*
The unexpected noise caused Anthony and a couple of his men to spin around, guns coming up, only to see nothing but games. One of them appeared to be glowing really brightly, and actually getting brighter.
"What the...?"
"I'M GONNA WRECK YOU!"
Anthony didn't have any time to react as a figure came bursting out of the light coming from the arcade. It was something like watching a clown emerge from a tiny clown car, only replacing the clown with a 300-lb lumberjack. Bellowing at the top of his lungs, the man smashed into two of his men, sending them flying overhead and through the plate glass windows at the front of the store. Anthony backpedaled wildly, trying to aim his gun at the unexpected threat, when a gauntleted hand closed around the top of his gun, forcing it to point down at the floor. Anthony turned, struggling to free himself, to find a statuesque blonde woman standing there, dressed in some sort of futuristic armor, smirking at him evilly.
"Night, night, pussywillow."
The last thing Anthony saw was her fist rapidly approaching his face.
Ralph gave Calhoun a single nod of thanks, before charging forward again to knock around the gunmen that had invaded the arcade. Calhoun returned the nod and spun around, bringing her own pistol to bear, and expertly blasting guns out of the hands of the gunmen trying to make sense of the sudden attack. She took the occasional shot at arms or knees if the gunmen tried to retrieve their weapons.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ralph spotted a blue blur as Vanellope joined the fray, teleporting here and there to rescue kids from the grasp of the robbers, and occasionally delivering a punch of her own. Ralph had been careful to teach her how to punch properly, and given the amount of force she could Glitch behind a punch, most of those she aimed at would probably have been better off if Ralph himself had been doing the punching.
Ralph knocked another gunman out with a open palm strike, and turned at the familiar boinging sound of Felix jumping. He smiled as he saw Felix carefully tapping Mr. Litwak's head with his hammer, causing the bleeding head wound to disappear, and Mr. Litwak to take a deep shuddering breath. Good, he should be alright now, hopefully.
Turning back to the fray, Ralph grinned and cracked his knuckles. He had no idea how they were going to explain this, but for now, he would just enjoy the fight.
19.17 (Mr. Egret): [Disney]
Mickey Mouse shuddered suddenly, as he prepared for another night as the MC of the House of Mouse.
"What's wrong?" Minnie asked worriedly, as she gazed at his face. "You look pale..."
"I just felt a great disturbance in the Force," Mickey replied. "As if a million moral guardians cried out in anger, and were silenced. I fear something terribly offensive has happened."
Minnie sighed. "We're not going to need the X-Wing, are we? I just got the thing waxed!"
"Eh, probably not," Mickey said, as he shook himself to rid himself of the cold sensation he had just felt. "Anyway, it's thirty minutes to showtime. Has Donald gotten Princess Ariel's fishbowl set up?"
There was a loud splashing sound from out on the main dining area, followed by a bout of furious quacking.
"That's a no," Minnie replied, before switching on her microphone. "Broom Team to table three! And bring a life preserver!"
19.18 (Evilhumour): [Disney] / [Warhammer 40K] / [Bar Loop]
Mickey looked around the House of Mouse, and spotted the person that Minnie pointed out. Digging in deep for his resolve, Mickey went over to the sole patron who found one of the few isolated corners of this establishment and was drinking heavily. He wasn't so sure if the former was by his choice or shunning by the other but the later was clearly obvious for what had happened. Still, Mickey had a job to do and he was going to do it.
"Hiya there Leman," Mickey smiled softly, sitting next to the brooding Primarch. "How are yo-"
"Are you going to ask me to leave?" Leman barked out in a monotone voice, looking straight ahead.
"No, not at all," Mickey was taken aback from the sudden comment, blinking in surprise. "Why would you ask that?"
"You've heard what I... what happened," Leman clenched the tankard tight enough to deform it before sighing. "I've already been barred from a number of places already. Why should this be any different?"
"Well, for starters, the House of Mouse is a neutral area, no matter what you've said or done," Mickey said with a little pep in his voice, hoping to break Leman out of his funk. The Anchor did not move at all, only to let out a sigh. "And while I don't agree with what you said, you can still come here and be expected to be treated properly."
"Thank you, your highness but ..." Leman trailed off, his fingers digging into the counter.
"Look Leman," Mickey spoke with a bit more authority, finally causing some reaction from the man next to him. With the raised eyebrow a sign that the mouse was finally getting through to the man, Mickey pressed onwards. "I can see you're really broken up by what happened. Maybe I can talk to Nyx-"
"NO!" Leman's shout echoed in the now silent room. Sighing, Leman shook his head and lowered his voice. "No, I will not have her take me back out of pity, only if she forgives me for... what I said." Leman spat the word out like it was venom, before turning his head to stare at Mickey, with tear stained face. "Thank you for promising me sanctuary here, but I would like to be alone for now."
Nodding his head, Mickey Mouse stood up and the left the man in his piece.
19.19 (Saphroneth): [Lion King]
"Zazu, can you keep Simba busy for the day?" Mufasa asked.
Simba sighed. This was going to be even more boring than usual... unless he managed to get the hornbill tied up doing something, of course, in which case it was off to try out that nice little fire-making magic he'd picked up recently.
"Well, sir," Zazu replied. "I have a plan. A plan which is so cunning that it would cause a fox - a fox with a first class degree of Cunning from Oxford University - to take a second look. And then he would commission several studies by other foxes with second class degrees from Oxford university - in Cunning, of course - to do studies into small parts of that plan. And they would all come to the same conclusion."
Simba blinked.
"What conclusion is that?" Mufasa asked, just as confused as his son.
"Why, that the plan was so cunning that they would immediately award the fox an honorary doctorate in Cunning for coming up with it - though, of course, the fox did not come up with it, he simply commissioned them into the studies." Zazu nodded to himself. "Now, as I'm sure you're aware, the first fox still had a first class degree in Cunning... so he would simply take the doctorate, and keep quiet."
The lions exchanged glances, both completely lost.
"My plan, in short, is so cunning that it would itself qualify for a degree in Cunning from Oxford university," Zazu concluded.
"...right," Mufasa said, after several seconds. "That sounds fine."
Simba spent the next several hours trying to work out what Zazu's cunning plan was.
He kept an eye out for any traps, his other eye out for if Zazu was going to try and distract him, and his ears for any sign of movement.
It was only as the sun began to set that he realized Zazu had just kept him busy all day looking for what was going to keep him busy.
He had to admire it.
19.20 (Firehawk242): [Winx Club] / [Frozen] / [Eden Hall] (crossposted from Winx Loops 7.10)
Bloom walked through the crowded Eden Hall, looking for a familiar face. So far she hadn't seen anyone from either her own loop or the fused loops she'd been in. Granted, she hadn't been in all that many fused loops, but still.
"Hello," a voice said from behind her. "You look like you're looking for someone."
Bloom turned and- "Icy?!" Bloom asked, jerking back in surprise. What was that witch doing here?'
"Icy?" the white-haired woman asked with a frown. "I really don't like it when people use that nickname."
"Nickname?" Bloom asked. "You mean you're not Icy?"
"I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle," the woman said. "I have ice powers, if that's what you're asking about."
"No," Bloom said. "Well, sort of. You just... look like someone from my loop."
"And her name's Icy?" Elsa asked.
"Yes," Bloom said.
"What were her parents thinking?" Elsa asked, shaking her head. "Judging by your reaction, you don't get along with this Icy?"
"Not really," Bloom said. "The first time I met her she tried to kill me by freezing me solid."
Elsa's eyes narrowed. "I can see why you wouldn't like her."
"You seem angry," Bloom said.
"Sorry, bad memories," Elsa said, shaking herself. "My baseline's not the easiest. Hey, why don't I buy you a drink and we can share stories?"
"Sure," Bloom said. "I have to warn you though, I only started looping recently, so I don't have that many stories."
"That's alright," Elsa said. "You'll get more."
"That's what I'm afraid of," Bloom said.
