36.1 1987 Verse Requested by Night of StarClan
Michelangelo was the only turtle awake that loop, and he was fine with that. As much fun as it was to mess with Shredder with the others, being on his own meant he could prank everyone, and no one would see it coming.
No one, that is, except for Master Splinter. Try as he might, Michelangelo could not manage to pull a single prank on his Sensei.
Which didn't make much sense. Sure, Splinter was a great ninja master, but Michelangelo usually managed to land at least one trick on him, but none of his future knowledge was helping him. It was almost as if… wait a minute…
Michelangelo moved to talk to his Sensei while the other three were out getting pizza.
"Like, when did you start looping, Master?" he asked. "And why didn't you tell me? You had to know I knew to dodge all my jokes."
Master Splinter gave the orange wearing turtle a sly smile. "I have been, as you call it, looping for awhile now, Michelangelo."
Michelangelo frowned. "And you didn't tell me because…?"
Master Splinter's smile broadened. "Then it would not be as fun."
Michelangelo groaned. He's heard from some of the other turtles that their Splinters had kept them in the dark about being awake until they figured it out as well. It was some type of test of awareness for their students, as well as a way for the rats to subtly troll them till they figured it out.
36.2 2003 Verse (Continued from 6.6)
Raph and Mikey12 had a lot to get used too upon awakening for their first loop.
Raph had been extremely annoyed at first, but eventually learned to roll with it. This was helped by the fact his knowledge of the future gave him an advantage in the upcoming fights, allowing him to kick more butt than ever before.
Mikey had a bit more of a difficult time transitioning into his new environment. But once the three local turtles convinced him that, no, they were not going to eat his brain, he became far more friendly and learned to adapt.
At least until Renet showed up for her part of the loop.
Mikey had stared at the older woman in the stupid-looking helmet with a heart-broken expression. "You're not Renet," he squeaked out.
Leo, Don, and Raph exchanged glances at this. They had established with their Prime counterparts that the Renet and Lord Simultaneous they had both met were the same people, and the similarities in their adventures came from Renet having a hard time learning from her mistakes, and the necessity of it all for their time streams. But apparently that wasn't the case for this Mikey.
Renet giggled at Mikey's proclamation. "No, sorry Mikey. Your world is, like, a weird anomaly for having a counterpart of me. Me and my Lord Simultaneous both come from the 79th Dimension of Null-Time, and, like, because of that Lord Simultaneous acts as an Admin for all turtle related loops."
Mikey didn't look any happier to hear that, and continued to shuffle his feet on the ground and looked miserable. When he'd heard that Renet was going to show up, he had been excited to see his crush again. To find out it wasn't really her was a big disappointment for him.
"Then how does Mikey here have a counterpart of you?" asked Don
Renet rolled her eyes. "Duh, like I said, it's an anomaly. Instead of being from 79th Dimension of Null-Time, his counterpart of me is just from the future where, like, technology became advanced enough to travel through time. Pretty cool, right?"
But Mikey was still pouting. "Renet doesn't say things are cool, she says they're cold," he griped. "And she's the most awesome Time Master in the history of ever."
Renet frowned. "Hey," she squawked. "Are you saying I'm not awesome?"
Mikey shot her a deadpan look. "Can you punch your way out of a time loop, and take on a hoard of skeleton zombies?"
That shut Renet up, and the other three turtles answered for her with a resounding, "No!"
"Well, mine can," declared Mikey proudly. "She's awesome." He the got a dreamy look on his face as he continued, "And pretty, and funny, and she thinks I'm cute…"
The other four watched the orange wearing turtle ramble on about how much he liked his Renet, before Raph finally had enough.
"Okay, we get it, lover-boy," he said, smacking Mikey on the head. "Now don't we gotta stop Savanti Romero or something?"
Renet, who was looking very put out from Mikey's ramblings, instantly agreed and zapped them to the past to take care of the demon.
36.3 Mix Verse (Continued from 24.5) Requested by Guest
Somehow, after their disaster of a show, Cooking Time with the Leo Five, TV producers didn't learn their lesson and stuck the five cooking inept turtles onto yet another cooking show.
So now Leonardos Prime, 2003, 1987, MB, 2012 were in another kitchen set next to the Michelangelos Prime, 2003, 1987, 2012, and NM in a show called. Helping Hopeless Cooking Causes.
MB April was shoved onto the set, and (despite her griping that she was a news reporter, not a coffee foam game show hostess) she announced that the five Michelangelos had to pair up with the Leonardos and instruct them (but not actually do any thing but instruct and keep hold of a fire extinguisher) in order to cook an edible meal within the hour.
Needless to say, most of the Mikeys paired up with their own brothers to attempt such a feat. All except for Mikey03, who all but jumped into the arms of MB Leo to avoid pairing up with Leo03, leaving his scowling brother to pair up with NM Mikey instead.
Results were mixed to say the least.
The 1987 turtles played to their strengths. Under Michelangelo87's watchful eye, Leonardo87 created a pizza dinner. Though, their choice of toppings was questionable, hot peppers, anchovies and jellybeans.
The 2012 turtles also decided to play it safe, and Leo12 made ramen, which was the only food he was good at making (after shooting down Mikey12's idea of making pizza ramen, of course).
Under the hawk-like gaze of Mikey03 (who was far too used to his Leo's disastrous attempts in the kitchen) MB Leo was able to pull off making a casserole that tasted good so long as you didn't ask what was in it.
The Prime turtles didn't have as much luck as the first three groups, and ended up with soggy grilled cheese sandwiches and burnt tomato soup. Still, it was edible if gross tasting.
Poor NM Mikey was at the end of his rope with Leo03. The blue wearing turtle ended up setting his kitchen space on fire so many times that NM Mikey's fire extinguisher ran out of juice, and he had to borrow the 1987 turtles' one. All Leo03 managed to make was a charred inedible mess.
Needless to say, Leo03 was the first to be eliminated from the game. Unfortunately, as he was leaving the set he passed too close to the kitchen's toaster, which he had miraculously managed to avoid thus far. The hated kitchen appliance exploded and caught the show's set on fire, making everyone need to evacuate the building.
"You really are a hopeless cause," said Mikey03 to his older brother as they all watched the building burn.
The other turtles and April nodded in agreement.
Leo03 just groaned in reply.
36.4 2003 Verse (Continued from 35.1)
Matt was laughing his ass off at the story Mikey had just told him while Don was taking care of his brothers' control chips. The turtles and their Sensei had filled him in on the time loops, and moved on to sharing funny stories of previous loops.
He then sent a wicked grin towards the turtle he'd been cloned from. "Really. You burned down the entire building just by walking by a toaster?"
Leo's face turned red with embarrassment, and instead of answering he stood and stiffly made his way out of the room.
That just made Matt laugh even harder. "Looks like I'm better than you in something after all!" he called after Leo.
Raph chuckled as well. "Yup, cooking, one of the few things that keeps Fearless from being perfect."
Matt's laughter slowly died, and he looked toward the kitchen thoughtfully. He then sent a smirk at Raph. "Go get my original, and bring him back in here," he said. "I suddenly feel like showing off."
Remembering how good his cooking had smelled when spying on him that one loop, Raph eagerly complied, and dragged his pouting brother back into the kitchen.
36.5 IDW Verse
Casey could only stare at the red wearing turtle that had come to his rescue. "What the hell happened to you?" he asked in disbelief.
Raphael87 clapped his hands over his ears, and gave Casey a shit-eating grin. "Watch the language," he said sarcastically, "I have sensitive ears." Then realization dawned on the turtle's face. "I'm guessing you're awake?"
Casey frowned at this cartoony version of his best friend. "Isn't it obvious."
Raphael tapped his chin and looked thoughtful. "Huh, you new?" he asked. "I thought the Booyakasha Casey was the only Casey Jones awake." Glancing around at the apartment and the now unconscious Hun on the floor, he frowned and added, "By the way, which Turtle-Verse am I in? I don't recognize this place, or you, for that matter. I can tell you're Casey Jones, but which Casey Jones?"
Casey frowned. "I'm the Anchor, genius. And what do you mean by Turtle-Verse, or which Casey Jones? I'm the only Casey Jones I know."
Raphael stared at him for a minute then snapped his fingers, and glances over at you. "Looks like I've stumbled into a new world none of the others have found yet," he says dryly. "And I've gotta explain things to this guy, lucky me."
Casey craned his head to see who Raphael was talking to, and saw no one. "Who are you talking to?"
Raphael ignored the question, and pushed Casey onto his couch. "You might want to sit down for this, buddy. I'm about to tell you about the multitude of universes featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
Casey looked at him like he was crazy. The expression quickly turned to bewilderment as Raphael brought out his dimensional portal stick, and began showing him snapshots of the various other dimensions and their counterparts, while explaining how their branch of Yggdrasil was larger than most.
Towards the end, Hun slowly picked himself off the ground and stumbled towards the door. "I've been drinkin' too much," the large man groaned. "I'm seeing talking turtles and holes in the walls like in Loony Toons." Then he slammed Casey's door shut and no doubt went to another bar to drink even more.
For once, Casey actually considered joining him.
36.6 Super Turtles Verse (Continued from 32.11) Requested by Night of StarClan
When the time came for Mikey to show up, Master Splinter was unsure of what to expect. As much as he looked forward to seeing his son again, he had no way of knowing if Michelangelo would be awake, or if someone else had taken over his place as Sensei that loop.
He eventually got his answer when Mikey stumbled into the Super Turtles training session, looking confused and clearly not awake.
What surprised Master Splinter the most was the absence of recognition when Mikey looked upon him, making his theory that his son had a different Sensei this loop more plausible.
Though questions of who could be his replacement, and was he treating his sons well constantly warred in Splinter's head as he watched Mikey interact with his four newest sons.
Finally, while discussing counterparts of their worlds, Mikey asked, "Where's your Master Jones, you gotta have one of those?"
Master Splinter felt his jaw drop, and the Super Turtles exchanged confused glances. "Master Jones?" Grav asked, rubbing his ear to make sure he heard right.
Mikey nodded cheerfully. "You know, big guy, hockey mask, a total nutcase, you gotta have one of those."
Master Splinter was horrified at the very idea that his sons grew up under the guidance of Casey Jones, and couldn't keep the expression of such off his face.
Suddenly, Mikey's face morphed from a look of earnest curiosity to gleeful hilarity. "Psych!" he yelled, pointing at Master Splinter as he bust out laughing. "I can't believe you fell for that, Sensei!"
Grav groaned and smacked his forehead, Grid, Shelly, and BB looked utterly confused, and Master Splinter was absolutely livid.
Mikey was oblivious to this as he continued to clutch his sides in laughter. "I finally got one over on you, Sensei," he said gleefully between giggles. Once he calmed down a bit he added, "Don't worry, when we woke up without you as kids we went over to Usagi's world to stay. Usagi's sensei agreed to take us in and train us, and (thanks to some forged papers) Leo's a bonafide Samurai now, but he says he likes being a ninja better. And-"
Mikey broke off as he finally noticed the thunderous expression on his father's face. "- And I'm in big trouble now, aren't I?" he asked rhetorically.
Master Splinter pointed towards a corner and said, "One hundred backflips, Now!"
Mikey slumped and went over to the corner to do so. "For the record," he called before he started. "Completely worth it."
"Two hundred!" was Master Splinter's only response.
"Still worth it," Mikey muttered, quieter this time.
The three unawake turtles thought he was nuts.
36.7 Mirage Verse
Prime Raphael picked up his dimensional communicator when he heard it ringing.
"Hi this is Jenny from Thirty-One Flavors, if you can name thirty-one Flavors in thirty-one seconds you can win thirty-one thousand dollars, ready go!" said Donatello87's voice in a peppy falsetto.
Prime Raph rolled his eyes and hung up the communicator without answering.
36.8 1987 Verse
"Three strikes, you're out dude," said Michelangelo with a laugh once Prime Raph hung up on his purple wearing pal.
Donatello scowled at his communicator like it had insulted him. "I'm a genius," he griped. "Why is it so hard to do something as brainless as prank call someone?"
"Maybe you just don't have the touch," said Leonardo. "Now hand it over, it's my turn to try."
Donatello sighed and handed him the communicator, then sequestered himself into his lab.
"Bet you ten bucks he's in there building some machine to do the prank calls for him," said Raph dryly.
Michelangelo scoffed. "That's a sucker's bet, compadre."
"True," said Raphael.
Leonardo got a mischievous gleam in his eyes, and began dialing on the communicator. "Hello, is this Bebop and Rocksteady?" he asked when whoever answered the phone. When he got an affirmative he continued, "Yes, I would like to make a wager if, you're interested…"
Raphael and Michelangelo exchanged gleeful glances. "Guess we know who's paying for pizza tonight," said Raphael with a smirk.
36.9 Big Hero 6 Requested by majishan
IDW Raph was never complaining about Donnie's brain getting put into Metalhead again. He now felt nothing but sympathy (and maybe a little envy) for what his brother had gone through. This was all so weird.
For this fused loop he'd woken up as an inflatable health care robot. One that looked more like a giant marshmallow than anything else, and was nowhere near as well equipped to fight as Metalhead had been. Learning all the medical procedures that had been programed into him was cool, but he was still stuck as a robot that didn't even have lasers, how lame was that.
Still, on the plus side he was a robot that was incredibly strong, that was something he could put to good use.
Tadashi and Hiro stared as 'Baymax' pummeled the Bot Fighters who had been trying to beat up Hiro for hustling them.
Tadashi stared at his creation with a look of utter bewilderment. "I-I didn't program him to do that!" he yelped.
Hiro, meanwhile, cheered Raph on gleefully. Not really paying attention to his brother's exclamation.
Maybe being a marshmallow robot wouldn't be too bad.
36.10 Movie Verse Requested by Fox Boss
Even though their two human friends weren't awake for the loops, the turtles felt they needed a vacation away from it all, and (with some careful calculations thanks to Donny) the turtles had just the way to do it.
When April arrived with the Time Scepter, Leo quickly snatched it from her hands and set it down so it couldn't suck anyone into the past before they were ready.
They then stalled April from leaving until Raph could call Casey to come over.
Then, Mikey proposed the two pose for a picture holding the scepter, a strange request, but the humans complied.
On cue, the scepter lit up, and sucked the two into the past, leaving Kenshin and Mitsu in their place.
After explaining things to the two, and sending them on their own vacation around New York, the turtles sat back and relaxed until it was time to go back and fetch their friends and save feudal Japan.
In the distant past, April and Casey freaked out for a bit upon finding themselves there, but eventually relaxed and enjoyed the experience.
Though they did wonder how Donny had managed to book them a stay at a ryokan form hundreds of years in the future.
36.11 Gravity Falls (Continued from 35.6)
When the Pine twins' Great Uncle Ford appeared on the scene, there was a minor adjustment period were the twins had to convince the man that the Hamato mutants were friends and not monsters out to eat their souls or something like that.
They eventually convinced him, but the turtles and snake-girl would still see Ford shooting them suspicious glances whenever they were around.
But when Dipper got his Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons, he fully expected Donnie to want to play with him, as the brainy turtle seemed like the ideal type to enjoy the game even with the math involved.
But much to his disappointment, Donnie turned him down. "Sorry, Dipper," said the purple wearing ninja, "but I've done the RPG thing before, and I know where it's going."
Dipper raised a confused eyebrow at him. "What do you mean, 'you know where this is going'? It's just a game."
Donnie gave him a sympathetic look, and only replied, "For now it is." He then brightened. "Tell you what, I'll go see if Sir Malachi is around, he loves games like that, and I'm sure he'd play with you."
Unfortunately, Sir Malachi proved to be nowhere around, but Dipper still found a playing partner in his Great Uncle Ford.
So when the mutants were invited over to watch the season finale of Duck-tective, none of them were the least bit surprised when Grunkle Stan threw down a magic dice and unleashed the characters from the game into the real world.
Donnie stared unimpressed at Probabilitor the Annoying and his cronies. "Yup," he deadpanned. "Called it."
Raph also groaned at the sight. "Jeeze, it's Mazes and Mutants all over again."
"Only this time with math!" wailed Mikey in disgust.
Karai, meanwhile, pulled out her tantō. "Let's just get this over with."
On that day Probabilitor the Annoying's list of weaknesses had the addition of ninja mutants added onto it. It was bumped up to number one before prime statistical anomalies over thirty-seven but not exceeding fifty-one.
36.12 2003 Verse Requested by starfire2rav
After the Shredder's defeat at TCRI the city was once again at war.
Don (the only one awake) prepared himself to have the unpleasant first meeting of Karai, complete with Leo and Raph blowing up at each other, and the uncomfortable knowledge that the kunoichi would only end up hating them as the loop went on.
So he was pleasantly surprised when instead of his world's Karai, Karai12 arrived instead, and with out the two goons, or any Foot Clan symbols on her clothes.
"You again?" Don had to ask.
Karai12 flashed him a smirk, which only widened when she saw the confused looks on his brothers and Casey's faces.
"Wanna tar and feather all the bad guys before gift wrapping them for the police?" she asked brightly, holding up a bag of brightly colored arts and crafts feathers and glitter. "I brought enough for everyone."
Raph's face broke into a wide grin at the offer. "Girlie, I like the way you think."
And so they lured all the fighting gangs to one spot and proceeded to dump every sticky quick-drying substance known to man on all of them, then pelted them with brightly colored arts and craft supplies.
By the time they were done, the Foot, Purple Dragons, and the Mob all looked like a rainbow had puked on them, and the police were laughing their heads off when they were called in to unstick them.
As the heroes watched the bag guys get carted away, Mikey threw an arm around Karai's shoulder. "You," he said, pointing his finger in her face, "Are my new best friend. This was the best day ever!"
As he, Raph, and Casey wandered off the celebrate (and Leo followed along to keep them out of trouble), Don went over to Karai. "And… about the Shredder?" he asked.
Karai shrugged. "If he's still around, it has nothing to do with me. Heck, I actively did my best to keep him gone."
Don nodded, and they went to follow the rest. Knowing how wiley their Shredder was, he wouldn't be surprised if he did show sooner or later. But for now he would enjoy the night.
36.13 1987 Verse Requested by thegirlwholived91
Master Splinter had been looping for far longer than his students had known he was. But that did not mean he knew all about the time loops, and what to expect when going through them. That he learned afterwards from Michelangelo, and finally got the answers for the many questions he had had.
But even being aware of how strange the loops, and the Turtle Multi-Verse could be did not prepare him for what he had just heard.
He raised a bushy eyebrow at MB April, who was there instead of their own April for that loop. "Your Master Splinter learned ninjutsu from a book. And was able to master it just from that?" he asked incredulously.
April, who was getting used to these sorts of reactions, simply nodded in confirmation.
Master Splinter looked baffled. "Just how big was this book he found?"
A bit surprised by this question, April shrugged, and held her hands at roughly the thickness of the book.
Master Splinter pinched his forehead and looked pained. "I do hope those turtles have since looped into dimensions with Splinters who better know the craft. A book of that size is far to small to contain all that there is to know of being a ninja."
April gave him a helpless shrug. "I'm sure they've got it covered," she said fairly.
"I certainly hope so, Ms. O'Neil," Splinter said. "I certainly hope so."
36.14 Prime Verse Requested by Anonymous
"You guys need some love."
The four Prime Turtles stared at Mikey12 like he was insane.
But the orange wearing ninja paid the looks no mind, and instead gave them a bright smile and continued, "Really, where's the love?"
Leo opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off as Mikey shot forward, and suddenly enveloped the three in a bear hug. "Aw," he cooed, "It's right here between my arms!"
"Gonna be one of those loops?" said Don rhetorically from where he was crushed next to Raph in Mikey's grip.
"Gonna be on of those loops," Leo agreed as best he could with the wind being squeezed out of him.
"Great," growled Raph sarcastically.
"How is this my counterpart again?" asked Mike in exasperation.
Mikey still paid their griping no heed, and continued to hug the black and white turtles.
A/N Read, Review, Give Suggestions. Don't forget to check out the next chapter of Same Difference.
36.1- Night of StarClan wanted to see more Splinter wake up to the loops. The problem is, some of the Splinters have already awakened, and just decided not to the turtles about it.
36.2- I have to say, I like Renet12. I still like Renet03 and what we see of her in the comics, I find her hilarious in how ditzy she is. But Renet12 did a lot more for her character than the previous versions. Those Renets mostly acted as damsels in distress for the turtles to save after she inadvertently drags them into her messes. Renet12 still drags them into messes. But she actually helps to get them out too, the only time she's held captive is along with the turtles, and her power punches were pretty cool. Plus, Mikey crushing on her is cute. That, and Renet12's helmet isn't as stupid looking as the other two.
36.3- My ever eager Guest asked me to try and have the Mikeys attempt to teach the Leos to cook. As you can see, Leo03 is the worst.
36.4- Poor Leo, I keep poking fun at him for the toaster thing.
36.5- Well, Casey finally knows about the other Turtles, though Raphael87 might not have been the best to introduce him to it.
36.6- Mikey has done what not many a turtle can do, pull a successful prank on Master Splinter. Of course it came at a price. Night of StarClan wanted to see what would happen when Mikey showed up for that loop. Thank you for the good ideas, that was fun to write.
36.7- Raphael is not amused.
36.8- For sucker's bets, call a sucker.
36.9- majishan asked to see a Raph get stuck as Baymax for a loop. The idea was so funny I had to do it. I picked IDW Raph, since he had the hardest time with the Donnie/Metalhead thing and being Baymax would hit home hardest for him. Plus, now IDW Raph can pass for a doctor better than Donnie
36.10- It took awhile, but Fox Boss wanted to see Casey and April switch with Kenshin and Mitsu with the scepter.
36.11- Just an idea I had when I saw the Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons episode of Gravity Falls.
36.12- starfire2rav wanted to see Karai12 replace Karai03. Looks like Karai12 introduced the turtles to a variation of her arts and crafts hobby
36.13- With Splinter87 confirmed to be awake, I can continue with thegirlwholived91's request to see the Splinters' reactions to the source of the MB turtles' ninja training.
36.14- Anonymous thought the Prime turtles needed some love, and Mikey12 is the best person to provide it.
