Disney/Kingdom Hearts Loops, Chapter Thirty-One
31.1 (phantomdemon2): [Lilo & Stitch]
"What are little Girl and 626 doing?" asked a confused Jumba.
"We're having an arm wrestling competition." Lilo replied from the table where she and Stitch were Arm Wrestling
"Why? Stitch much stronger than little human ar... you haven't lost yet though. New ability?"
Lilo turned to Jumba "Sorta, me and Stitch traded places last loop and I wanted to see who would win." Lilo's hand suddenly hit the table. "STITCH, I WAS DISTRACTED!"
"I win, I win, Stitch beat Lilo," taunted the blue alien
"AGGGGHHH!" Lilo retaliated by tackling Stitch.
31.2 (Harry Leferts): [Zootopia] / [Redwall]
Scowling, Judy turned over the last item on her person to the guard that could be used as a weapon. Once the rhinoceros nodded, she moved into the small room and sat down. In front of her, there was a mouse that was simply watching her from inside his cage. When she had Woken up, she had quickly found out that Bellwether had not gone to Zootopia. Judy had actually relaxed a bit and thought it would vacation loop of sorts...
And then the night howler case had started up, but with differences. Baseline, it had threatened carnivores as a whole, but here, certain species were hit targeted. Rats, weasels, stoats, cats of all kinds... Foxes too.
That last one had cheesed her off a bit. Especially when whoever was behind it had targeted Nick specifically. However, she had still cracked the case and it turned out to eh a group of mice, lead by the one in front of her. Of course, considering what had happened, the guard wasn't there to prevent the mouse from escaping, but rather jump in if Judy attacked. After all, Nick was still limping since he wasn't Awake yet.
But Judy, after a lot of work convinced them to let her question the mouse. Much to her surprise though, the mouse just sighed and shook his head at seeing her. "You know, I'm rather surprised at you." At her narrowed eyes, he shrugged a bit. "For a rabbit, you seem pretty intelligent. And a rather good fighter as well."
It went without saying that Judy's voice was layered in sarcasm. "Gee, thanks. I appreciate a compliment from you."
Sadly, the mouse just smiled. "Yet you don't seem to see the truth, or want to see it. You actually trust that fox."
Eyes narrowing, Judy growled. "I trust Nick with my life. He is one of the most trustworthy people I know."
The mouse just shook his head. "That's what I mean. You've somehow fallen for his tricks. Foxes, like all vermin, can't be trusted. They'd sell their mothers into slavery or even murder them if it gave them just a bit more of a chance to make their plans come to fruition. He'll backstab you one of these days, they don't know the first thing about friendship after all."
It took Judy a few moments to calm herself before she snorted. "They obviously know more about friendship then you." After a moment, she frowned some. "You keep calling them that. Vermin... Same with rats, weasels, and others. Or Goodbeasts if they're a mouse, hare, squirrel... Why?"
Shrugging, the mouse sat down. "Because that's what they are and what ones like you and me are. They're vermin and we're Goodbeasts. It's just how things work." Crowning, he glanced over at the television and shook his head. "I just wish that you and the others would understand. I was just showing the world how they truly are."
Before Judy could say anything though, she felt a Ping and sent one back. Her eyes widened though as she noted that the mouse stiffened for a moment and the looked around slightly and then she felt a third Ping. 'No...' Once more shoving her anger down, Judy. "You know, you might be wide Awake, but I think that you're pretty loopy."
Head whipping around, the mouse stared at her for a moment before frowning. "Actually, I'm pretty Anchored."
It went without saying that the grin on Judy's face and the look in her eye caused a shiver to run down the mouse's back. "Oh, no, I'm an Anchor for people." Slowly, she leaned down as the mouse's eyes widened. "I don't know where you're from, Martin. But I do know this... You just made an enemy when you put Nick into the hospital. When we cross paths, you better hope it's not in your home where you do a loop de loop. Because I. Will. Wreck. It. And. You."
With that, Judy got up and walked away, the grin causing even the rhino guard to back away some.
31.3 (Slayst): [Grimm] / [Zootopia]
Nick Burkhardt was so used to his loop by now, that he could almost always identify a Variant by a mere glimpse of a situation. It wasn't perfect, but his instincts were right in nine cases out of ten. The murder weapon being unusual was a pretty good gave away, and so was a total absence of murder.
The present day was engraved in his mind as the one where an innocent wesen suffered once more from the cruelty and greed of their flawed society and morals. In every loop, young Peter Bennett died simply because of what he was, a Willahara.
Those bunny-like wesen were extremely peaceful. Nothing in them would ever identify them as valuable prey for other wesen. Well, nothing but their feet.
As fucked up as it seemed, their severed woged paws acted as a placebo aphrodisiac to other wesen once placed under the conjugal bed. It was a good luck charm, supposed to enhance the couple's fertility.
Because of this stupid legend, the young boy always ended up dead and one foot short, a small distance from his house. An innocent nightly escapade to see his girlfriend turned up to be deadly when a Vulpesmyrca showed up to sprung a trap on him.
Those fox-like wesen, cousins to the Fuchsbau, were formidable hunters. Cunning, strong enough to rival a Grimm, and not shying away from modern technology, they stopped at nothing to get to their prey.
What had changed this time? Why hadn't the boy been killed? Why wasn't the family targeted?
The answer may very well lie in the two pings he had felt a couple of days ago. It was entirely possible for a looper to have either replaced or interacted with either the murderer or the Bennett family.
It was time for the Portland PD to pay them a little routine visit.
"Please Detective, make yourself at home." pleasantly said Mme Bennett, gesturing at the living room. "Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"I would love to, but that survey won't answer itself I'm afraid. I'll quickly interview your children and be on my way."
"I see, what a shame." she replied, walking toward a flight of stairs. "My son Peter's out at the moment, but you can always talk to my daughter. Judy!"
Nick had to contain a victorious "I knew it!" at hearing the girl's name. The baseline daughter was named Chloe, this Judy had to be a visiting looper.
"What is it mom?"
"Come down please, a policeman wants to ask you a few questions."
"Huh, if you don't mind…" interfered Nick. "I'd rather go upstairs myself. Answering that survey can be rather embarrassing for teenagers, especially girls. I'm afraid your presence would only bother your daughter."
"Oh…" sighed the woman, understanding the probable nature of the totally imaginary survey. "Wouldn't one of your female colleague be more suited for such an inquiry then?"
"Most assuredly, yes, but my boss is a sadist." explained the Grimm, scratching his head awkwardly. "I think he likes to watch me get uncomfortable. But hey, he's my boss so I don't really have a choice."
The Bennett matriarch had previously checked the man's ID, and could see the truth in his words.
"Well… good luck then." she said with a tired smile, before once more calling up the stairs.
"Judy, Detective Burkhardt is coming up."
"But, mom... I'm with a friend and..."
The mother showed momentary surprise, apparently unaware of housing a guest.
Nick decided to prevent any drama and talked to the girl himself.
"I'm sure your friend won't mind me taking a few minutes of your time for this survey, miss Bennett. It is official Portland PD material, destined to help our city's teenagers in their everyday lives. The results will assist those few who feel a bit loopy and need to be anchored properly."
If his suspicions proved correct, she would understand.
His enhanced Grimm hearing faintly picked a hushed exchange between the girl and her mysterious guest, whose voice was definitely wait to low to be female. The exact content was too blurry, but he could swear that he'd heard Anchor and looper somewhere in there.
A weak and slightly weary "Fine, I'll do it." finally reached the first floor.
"Thank you sweetheart." beamed her mother. "I hope your room is clean."
"MOM!"
Nick smothered a grin and walked past the woman, taking the stairs.
Reaching the second floor, the Anchor got his first glimpse of the young girl he was supposedly here to interview on things he definitely didn't want to.
Fifteen years old, maybe sixteen, with a fair figure and hypnotizing violet eyes. She was dressed in jeans, a blue shirt, and had long light-brown hair – which weirdly enough appeared greyish in the sunlight – held in two braids around her head.
"Detective." she said with a small acknowledging nod, immediately followed by a gesture toward an open door. "Come in please."
"Thank you." replied the Grimm, nodding back.
He'd barely stepped into the room when she closed the door behind him and asked the question he'd expected.
"So, you're a looper?"
"Anchor, actually." he smiled, presenting his opened hand. "Detective Nick Burkhardt. Welcome to the Grimm loops, miss…?"
"Officer Judy Hopps, Anchor for Zootopia." she introduced herself, accepting the handshake.
"And your friend?" asked Nick, pointing his thumb at the man seated in a shadowy corner of the room.
"Officer Nick Wilde." replied the other looper, coming over to shake the local Anchor's paw… huh, hand. "Her partner."
"And a Vulpesmurca, if I'm not mistaking."
The wesen looked at the Detective and woged. His face bloomed into a foxy grin when he saw the Detective's black eyes.
"So, you're a Grimm."
"You are?" asked a surprised Judy, herself woging in her Willahara form.
"Calm down Carrots, he's the one who helped the wesen community around Portland for the past three years. Must be tough to deal with this on top of your standard duty." said Nick Wilde, musing over the complexity of such a task. "I wouldn't want to be in your place."
"Dealing with Night Howlers is hard enough." added Judy.
"I manage." shrugged Nick. "Now, I don't want to worry Mme. Bennet, so I'll be quick. We're currently the only Awake loopers around. I can handle the loop myself, it won't last that much longer, but help is always welcome. So, do you want to treat this as a vacation, or do you want to help?"
The visiting officers exchanged a quick glance, a nod, and a smile. With matching moves, they snatched sunglasses from midair, just as police hats dropped on their heads.
"Where do we begin, Detective?"
31.4 (TangleKat): [Ratatouille] / [Redwall]
Remy Woke to a bubbling pot of slop that seemed to be trying to call itself stew. Shaking the dregs of the changeover from his mind, he began stirring the pot while surreptitiously taking stock of where he was. It was some sort of badly-maintained camp, and everyone in it was covered in varying levels of grunge - Remy himself included, which almost made him gag.
There were quite a few varieties of animals making up the populace of the camp; rats, weasels, stoats, a few ferrets - Remy even swore that he saw a pair of foxes at one point. Each of the beasts was armed to the teeth, and they distinctly gave off the air of having been pirates at one point - if the layers of salty, half-worn rime covering everything was to be believed.
Delving into his Loop memories, he winced - half from tasting the slop and half from the experiences floating in his subconscious. It seemed that at one point the crew had been pirates; however, they'd been ransacking the surrounding areas on land for about three years now. The Captain was a wicked giant of a rat named Cluny the Scourge; so called due to the fearful iron barb that decorated his long, whiplike tail.
It seemed that Cluny had gotten it into his head to try and conquer a place that was whispered about amongst the crew; a place that was almost alive in and of itself, protected by the guardian spirit of one of its' founders: Redwall Abbey. Just the name seemed to resonate with Remy, and he gave an unconscious flick of his tail as a chill of anticipation ran down his spine.
Giving the slop one last whiff, he lay down his spoon, squared his shoulders, and marched off towards Cluny's tent. Knocking on one of the wooden supports, he shivered as a deep, guttural voice growled out of the darkened tent. "So what sorry news have you brought this time?"
Quelling his quivering knees, Remy tried to keep the tremble out of his voice, only to fail miserably. "S-sorry, sir, b-but the food's almost unpalatable. I was w-wondering if I c-could maybe take a f-foraging party out to find some in-ingredients?" There was something about the voice, about the smell, that seemed to shut down every instinct that Remy had as a Looper - the voice of Cluny the Scourge reached past all that and dragged his animal instincts screaming to the fore.
The Voice seemed to consider it for a moment, before shrugging back a terrible laugh. A paw shot out of the darkness and seized Remy by the throat, hoisting him into the air as if he were made of rags. "So you don't care for the food, eh? You'd rather have something better?"
Remy struggled to breath, trying to tear the iron-hard paw from his throat. "I-urk! Know how to cook, sir! If - if the crew doesn't have -ack! - something healthy to eat, they'll all get sick!"
Cluny's grasp loosened a hair, and Remy could see a single eye glittering wickedly out of the darkness at him. "Hmmm… Morale has been loose of late, and no army marches on an empty stomach… fine then. Make your foraging party. Take Clawback and Splitsnout with you, and keep to the shadows. I don't want any of those Redwallers finding out about this."
Cluny's paw withdrew into his tent, and Remy drank in the fresh air gratefully, massaging his aching throat with a paw. Utilizing his Loop Memories, he quickly found the stoat and rat whom Cluny had mentioned. Both were sitting at the slop-pot, gagging as they ladled the swill into their bowls. Taking a deep breath, he let a fraction of his Unawake self drift up to help him avoid detection.
"Hold up, lads. Y'd better not touch that, else it'll make yer bellies try t' murder yew. I just finished - er, speaking… with the chief. He's okayed me for a foraging party, an' yew two are to accompany me. We'll all be havin' proper vittles by nightfall - guaranteed." He resisted the urge to hack, as his voice fell into the raspy, uncomfortable pattern of speech. Fortunately, the pair didn't even bat an eyelash as they dumped their bowls back into the slop pot.
"No clue as to why ye've been holdin' out on us afore know, but I don't care at this point. All I want's some fresh food - and ye'd better not skip on the meat for us, lad." Clawback muttered, jabbing Remy in the gut. Setting off into the forest's cool shade, Remy couldn't help but wonder what kind of a Loop he'd ended up in - and the echoes of Cluny's laughter in his memory gave him a shudder as he entered the shadows of the underbrush.
"What's so different about this particular foraging party, Martin? Cluny's sent plenty of them before - especially in this Variant." Matthias bit back a yawn as he tramped through the dewy grass with the Warrior's spirit drifting beside him.
The Anchor didn't answer right away, peering through the mid-dawn gloom to check for rats or other vermin scurrying through the shadows. "For starters, this foraging party wasn't his idea. I only caught the tail end of it, but it seems that one of the horde-rats was dissatisfied with the food they were getting and wanted to make something better. I didn't recognize him, so I'd guess that we have a visiting Looper on our paws."
Matthias understood instantly. "And we should probably be on our guard if he's Looped into Cluny's horde. Makes sense. So we're going to get a bead on him before we do anything else, right?"
Martin nodded. "Right. I can't see him being any trouble, but I've been wrong before about these things."
Matthias laughed, and swatted a leaf out of his face. "Not often, though."
The two Redwallers found a vantage point in a large, bent oak tree that overlooked a sizeable clearing. Beneath them, three rats - two brown, and one blue-grey - were searching through the brush for anything edible. Martin gestured to the blue one, who seemed to be acting as the leader of the party.
"That's the one who suggested the foraging party - the Looper. Whomever he is, he's not afraid to take charge of a situation."
Matthias watched as one of the brown rats showed a pawful of leaves to the newcomer, who sniffed them and started sorting through them. "He's also got a good eye for details, so he's pretty smart too. We might be in trouble if he decides to overthrow Cluny."
The newcomer threw out most of the leaves, and tucked the ones he kept neatly into a worn rush basket. As he wandered slightly out of view of the other two rats, he surreptitiously grabbed a large burdock leaf and began scrubbing himself down, a look of disgust on his face. Special care was given to his paws, which he wiped furiously as if trying to remove some unseen taint.
Martin's eyes narrowed. "He's fastidious, so I'd guess that whatever Loop he comes from has to have more amenities than ours. Probably filtered water and a reliable source of soap, if I had to judge."
The newcomer plucked a branch and deftly twisted it into a rough comb, which he proceeded to use to groom his fur. A quick sniff had him retching, as if he couldn't believe how filthy he was.
Something tickled the back of Matthias's mind, and he scratched behind his ear as he tried to recall what it was. "How he's acting… it reminds me of someone. Something I've seen before…"
Martin rubbed his chin. "Now that you mention it, it does feel familiar. I'd still swear that I've never seen him before, though."
The newcomer spotted a group of truffles clustered beneath the oak where the two Redwallers were sitting, and Martin faded from sight while Matthias used his habit to camouflage himself against the tree. Up close, the novice cum Warrior could see that the blue-grey rat's eyes were keen and appraising, and he examined the truffles with a professional air. Despite the unkemptness of his fur and the vermin tackle festooning him, he seemed somehow more noble than the two horde-rats who rushed up to him clutching armfuls of roots, tubers, and other plant matter.
Unnoticed by the vermin, Martin drifted up next to them, trying to hear the newcomer's voice.
"Y'can't jus' grab any sort of stuff in th' woods, what d'you numbskulls think yer doin ou' there? Pickin' daisies to make Cluny a daisy chain? Take more care when you grab stuff. Clawback, those berries'd kill yew - see th' dark spots? An' Splitsnout, th' wild carrots yew grabbed wouldn' even make a mouthful. Go back an' grab some better ones, or I'll have yer tails fer dinner instead."
The Anchor bit back a silent groan. Whomever this Looper was, he was sure pouring it on thick with the accent. And that was on top of the already-present French accent that the newcomer seemed to be sporting.
Back in the tree, Matthias suddenly realized exactly what it was that had been bothering him, and he gestured for Martin to get back.
Drifting back to the treetop hiding place, Martin made himself slightly visible and raised an eyebrow at Matthias. "What? Did you figure something out?"
The other Looper nodded. "Yeah, I did. The way he's acting - it's like Friar Hugo does when he gets his mind set on a particular dish. That would explain the cleanliness and his eye for details, though I couldn't tell you much else."
Martin sat down on the branch that Matthias was standing on and watched the three rats exit the clearing on their way to find something else. "It tells us a lot, actually. When I was down there, I heard a bit of a French accent in him. If we can go through the list of known villainous Loopers, we might just be able to find him and defend against whatever he might plan later down the road. For now though, we should probably head back to the Abbey."
The two Loopers melted into the shadows and vanished from sight. Back in the clearing, Remy cocked an ear towards the tree where they'd been sitting. "Well, that might make things a bit more difficult. That Cluny guy already scares me enough; I don't need the native Loopers thinking I'm a villain - or vermin, as it seems to be here - on top of that. Still, I made a promise to give these guys a good meal, and I intend to keep my word."
31.5 (kingofsouls): [Gravity Falls] / [Etrian Odyssey 2]
The Fafnir Knight couldn't help but snicker at Dipper as the two made their way towards the forest entrance, eager to get the adventure started. "It's not funny."
"It kind of is." Fafnir replied through a stray snicker. "Your real name is a little underwhelming. Dipper stands out, but… your real name kind of falls flat. I can see why you go by that."
"Says the guy who can't even remember his own name?" countered Dipper with disdain evident in his tone. "Hello, pot, I'm kettle."
"Okay, you got me there." relented Fafnir.
31.6 (Shadow Wolf75): [Mighty Ducks]
It was Orbital Industries under attack yet again, and it turned out there only were two of the three Saurian henchmen in the area. While it wasn't completely unusual for Wraith to not tag along with the others, Tanya remembered he was there last time. In fact she remembered narrowly avoiding getting roasted by one of his fireballs during this particular fight. So, while most basic things from the previous timeline would stay the same, other things might be different? This didn't really follow with how time travel usually worked.
Eventually this one alteration to the timeline bothered the tech enough that she dared to ask about it. "Aren't you guys missing someone?" Tanya immediately had to dodge a blaster bolt aimed for her head . . . oooh, Siege did NOT look happy.
"If you mean the idiot who tried to kill Lord Dragaunus and then ran like a coward, then yeah, we're missin' someone. Gonna snap his neck if I find him..."
Judging by the amount of her teammates with dropped jaws, and the fact Tanya didn't recall it from this timeline's memories, this was a very new development. Like, at some point between their last scuffle with the Saurians and this one.
"Come on, Siege, I still don't think he was tryin' to kill him exactly..." Chameleon avoided a few pucks that were shot in his direction, and commented again. "Tryin' to hurt him, probably, but the boss would be dead if Wraith really meant it."
"It's still treason either way, you moron! Tch, just my luck for trusting a damn mage, even if he is the last one." Siege was a bitter soul normally, but this sounded to be the last straw. There would be no quarter for his former comrade if they ever crossed paths again. "You know what our orders are, you better follow through if you find him first!"
The battle raged on, and eventually the two lackeys were sent scurrying back to the Raptor, without either of them saying much else about whatever happened between Wraith and Dragaunus.
31.7 (Kaoupa): [Gravity Falls]
"So, what do you say?" Stan grinned, inviting the twins Dipper and Mabel onto his boat in yet another Loop.
Dipper thought it over very briefly. "...You could come fishing with us, Grunkle Stan."
"Eh?" Stan frowned, puzzled by the offer that his great-nephew had made him.
"I mean, Soos's boat is a lot bigger, there's way more room for you to fish from!" Dipper continued quickly.
"Yeah! And this part of the lake is probably all fished out by now." Mabel said. "Well, at least the fish probably aren't biting as much."
"Hmmmm…" Stan said, looking more considerate now.
"Soos's boat doesn't have any leaks on it." Dipper added, looking briefly over the Stan'O War. Which was leaking an awful lot, to say the least.
"Eh…." Stan said, still doubting it. This was a boat he had made himself, after all…
"Here, boss." Soos said, throwing Stan a rope.
"Huh? What's this for?" Stan asked, holding up the rope and trying to throw it away.
Only to realize that it was stuck to his hand. "WHAT THE HE-Y?!"
"Let's go!" Dipper grinned. Soos hit the accelerator on his boat, dragging the Stan'O War along behind him.
"You'll thank us for this later, Grunkle Stan!" Mabel yelled behind her.
Stan was too busy yelling to really respond to her.
31.8 (DrTempo): [RWBY] / [Kingdom Hearts]
Winter Awoke, and saw that she wasn't in Remnant this Loop. Looking around, she saw she was looking at what appeared to be a place of some kind. Confused, she sat down, and saw two people sit down next to her, and her Loop Memories provided their names.
"Hello, Terra and Ventus. It is good to see you."
The said two Keyblade wielders instantly used a Ping, and Winter sighed in relief.
"Phew. Guess I'm not alone this Loop. So, this is the Kingdom Hearts Loop? Seeing you two here… that means I replaced Aqua."
Terra smiled. "Had a feeling you'd figure it out quickly, miss Schnee. And before you ask, Sora once Looped in Ruby's role, and met the Unawake version of you."
Ventus chuckled. "Sora took out Cinder before her plan could be enacted. Pretty clever, if you ask me."
Winter than said, "Since I replaced Aqua, I wonder..." Using her Loop memories as a guide, Winter focused, and in a flash of light, A Keyblade that appeared to be made of ice, with the teeth of the blade shaped like a snowflake, appeared in her hand."This is my Keyblade... Isn't it?"
Terra nodded. "Yeah. I've seen Sora use that Keyblade before. It's called Diamond Dust. It fits you perfectly, Winter."
"So, how long is it before the Unversed appear, Terra? I do need to learn how to use my Keyblade."
"About six months, if memory serves." Ventus then yawned.
"Less talking, more training!" Winter bowed.
"Let us begin then, Terra." Terra nodded.
"Let the training begin, Winter."
Six months passed, and Winter was a fast learner, quickly getting the hang of using her Keyblade, and the abilities that came with it. Apparently, her Loop memories helped her catch up to baseline Aqua's skill level quickly. And now, the Mark of Mastery exam had arrived on schedule. After Winter and Terra had their fight, before Eraqus and Xehanort departed, Winter said, "Before you leave to decide if Terra and I passed, Ventus remembered something he wanted me to ask you, Master Xehanort… something about you wanting to create something called a X-blade."
Eraqus quickly looked at Xehanort. "You are still searching for that, Xehanort?"
Xehanort tried to say something, but Winter then said, "Before the orbs we used as targets for the exam went crazy, I sensed darkness coming from Master Xehanort. I think he was trying to sabotage the exam."
Eraqus growled, and Xehanort made a gesture, but looked surprised when nothing happened.
"Looking for something?"
King Mickey then walked in, and tossed Vanitas' helmet to the ground. Xehanort, realizing his plan had been stopped before it could begin, tried to escape, but a barrier surrounded the room, and Xehanort realized he had been outwitted. Raising his Keyblade, he prepared for his last battle...
Shortly after that, Terra and Winter were dubbed true Keyblade Masters, and Winter asked, "Now what?"
Ventus shrugged. "More training, I suppose. You still have a lot of training to do to catch up to our level."
Winter nodded in agreement. "Very well. Still, this will be a challenge. But, I've dealt with worse."
"At least you didn't get trapped in the Realm of Darkness."
"Agreed. The Heartless, from what you told me, are very similar to the Grimm back home. Not something I want to deal with this Loop."
With that, Winter and Terra began sparring, and Winter knew she'd be ready for whatever came next.
31.9 (Hvulpes): [Phineas and Ferb] Re. Milo Murphy's Law
"Well, the readings are correct. There does seem to be an increased level of probability flux occurring as the time loops occur. It is as if the more loops we have, the more concentration of negative probability incidents occur. The question is why?" asked Baljeet, as he and his friends looked at the machines as well as the read-outs.
"I know. Dr. D says he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary with luck, just his normal baseline stuff. And we didn't do anything with luck. So what could be causing all of this bad luck to occur?" continued Phineas as he tried to locate the source of the luck.
"It's like Murphy's Law gone amuck!" finished Isabella as they were all looking at the machines, wondering why this was happening.
It was just bad luck they weren't looking at the street as a body in a sweater vest and a backpack, ran from the pack of wild wolves with his friends.
31.10 (Kaoupa): [Gravity Falls] / [Marvel]
"Wait, you're saying that you haven't added any magical computational abilities to your computers?" Dipper Pines asked curiously, looking up at Mr. Fantastic as the older Looper worked in his lab.
"Well, not exactly." Reed Richards admitted, absently stretching his arm out to grab a vial from a different bench, "I have several dozen magically-enhanced computers from other Loops and Loopers in my Pocket. I just see no need for them at this point."
"Really? It would probably make things a lot easier for this… whatever it is that you're doing." Dipper commented, looking over the screens in front of him.
He had to admit, that he understood about half of it at the moment, without tapping into his… powers, felt pretty satisfying.
"It's a recent project I've started working on over the last few Loops after I wound up in the Walled World." Mr Fantastic said politely. "Levi asked me to see if I could create a way of curing the Titan condition without killing the host human or the need for mental powers, or to turn normal Titans into Shifters."
"Yeah, they'd probably like having that around." Dipper agreed.
"Indeed. I'm making progress, but so far, I haven't come up with anything they'd be able to reproduce in their own Loop without outside assistance." Mr Fantastic admitted, frowning as he looked over the charts again.
"Seriously, why not just use some magic in this? It would probably make it a lot easier." Dipper deadpanned. "Magitek usually works best."
Mr Fantastic snorted. "I am aware of that, Dipper, but I have very little skill with magic."
"Well, they might not." Dipper pointed out. "Couldn't you use those computers from your Pocket now?"
Reed laughed. "Dipper, I understand you, but… I need to challenge myself somehow these days. As it is, it only took me seven Loops to get this far…"
"...A challenge, huh?" Dipper grinned, sprouting teeth in his mouth that were much sharper than usual. "I think I can help with that…"
"-so well, I can't offer you too much advice on taking care of older children. Franklin and Valeria are both brilliant, but I barely ever see them when they're older than thirteen."
"Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Storm." Mabel said, nodding. "It's just… I never thought i'd ever see a Variant where I have kids."
"I can imagine that would be rather surprising at first." Susan admitted, before arriving at the front entrance, and pressing a button.
Almost clicheingly, a doorbell rang.
"What?! You have no bio-electric autoscanner or fingerprinting?!" Mabel demanded, looking comically outraged.
"We do, you just can't see it." Susan smiled, before frowning as the door refused to open. "Is it stuck?"
"Hello, Mrs. Fantastic!" The comm chirped happily, in a voice neither Mabel or Susan recognized. "I apologize, but you can't come in at this time."
"Who is this? What have you done with my husband!?" Susan snarled.
"And my brother!" Mabel shouted alongside her.
"Oh, nothing." The voice said cheerfully. "They're doing fine. Well, Richards is really annoyed, but they're fine. Now, I will let you in if you give me a six-pack of root-"
Without blinking, Susan smashed open the glass window next to the door, before carefully walking through the hole. Mabel jumped through after her.
"...You two are no fun." The voice said, sounding almost like it was pouting.
Upstairs…
"What exactly happened here?" Susan Storm asked, an eyebrow raised as she looked over the board of computers in front of her.
She was pretty sure that her husband would have told her before making what appeared to be another AI.
Let alone one that wore a top hat and a suit, and which had apparently taken over his computer network.
Mr. Fantastic sighed as he started typing. "This, dear, was a result of my poor word choice…"
In the background, Dipper Pines sat at the dinner table, absently making popcorn in his right hand.
And as he watched Mr Fantastic try fiercely to purge his computer systems of the Alcor Virus, he smiled a smile filled with far too many sharp teeth.
31.11 (Firehawk242): [Winx Club] / [Percy Jackson] (also compiled in Winx Club Loops as 23.10)
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
"Ow!"
"Point for me. Wanna take a break?"
"Sure."
The two demigods retired to the edge of the arena for some water.
"So, not to be rude, but how do you even lift that thing?" Percy Jackson asked.
"This?" Brandon asked, patting the enormous greatsword he was using. "This is nothing. My Phanto-Blade's even bigger."
"Isn't that like a lightsaber?" Percy asked. "Does it even have weight?"
"Sort of," Brandon said. "It doesn't weigh much when it's turned off, but it weighs as much as a normal sword when it's on."
"Ah, magic," Percy said.
"Pretty much," Brandon said. "That's just how we roll."
"Dude, don't try using our slang," Percy said. "It does not work for you. Does not."
"Got it," Brandon said.
"So, explanation for what this loop made you?" Percy asked. "I mean I know Hera and Ares are mother and son, but that doesn't mean she likes his kids. Even weirder is Aphrodite agreeing with her."
"Not sure," Brandon said. "I mean the whole Son of Ares thing makes sense. I'm the strongest of the Specialists. Um, I mean in terms of actual strength. Sky and Riven are better fighters."
"You're the strongest? Really? No kidding!" Percy said. "Is that why you use a barn door for a sword?"
"It's not that big," Brandon said. "So the Son of Ares thing makes sense. I have no idea why Hera and Aphrodite like me though."
"Eh, I guess there's no accounting for gods," Percy said. "Wanna go another round?"
"Sure, let me grab the spear this time," Brandon said.
31.12 (Hvulpes): [Frozen]
Elsa was trying to hold back her laughter at the looks Kristoff and Sven, the dirty grumpy looks, they were giving Anna.
The redhead was looking a bit ashamed and sheepish, "I thought we could all enjoy some holiday music."
Anna had tried to spark the Christmas Spirit, by bringing out some music from the collection in her pocket. Selecting some songs to play, she had obvious made a mistake which had upset the princess' boyfriend and said boyfriend's best friend.
"Neither Sven or any of his friends or family have every run over anyone! Especially not any elderly women or grandmothers!" said the blond haired man as he also said for the reindeer while moving the animal's lips, "Yeah! I never!"
31.13 (Masterweaver): [Zootopia] / [RWBY]
"Why the ears? Why is it always the ears?"
"They're easily accessible and quite prominent."
Jada Hollins, better known across the multiverse as Judy Hopps, shook her head. "Look, in my baseline nobody believed a rabbit cop would amount to anything, and I had to fight for respect from day one. I'm not going to become some meek hideaway just because of one bully."
"Cardin's a particularly stupid one," Blake Belladonna acknowledged. She carefully watched as Judy finally patted the fur on her ears down. "Sometimes he does mellow out after Jaune rescues him... usually, we only pay attention to him when we're bored and need to plan a prank on a deserving victim."
Judy gave the raven-haired girl a flat look-before pulling back her hair with a small growl. "Argh! Why'd my unawake self grow her hair out this long?" She tried to force it behind her head, not noticing Blake moving back a step or two. "Usually I keep it short when I'm human!"
"You're a faunus."
"Yeah, well, it feels like I'm a human. Aside from the extra ears." Her eyes rolled up to see her accouterments. "Seriously, is that it? Do Faunus just have animal ears on their head?"
"Ears, tails, horns, claws... it varies from individual to individual."
"Seems like such a small detail to base so much prejudice on," Judy quipped. "Second class citizen just because you have an extra part?"
Blake sighed. "Unfortunately, racism simplifies things. Us versus them is an easy mindset, all you have to do is define one or the other." The black bow atop her own head twitched. "That's why some of us hide it."
"Us versus them..." The rabbit-eared girl let a sigh of her own out. "You're right, you know. I've been on both sides of that. I was such an idiot back in the beginning..."
"I... have seen the film," Blake admitted. "It hit pretty close to home, to be honest."
"Really?"
"Ex-White Fang. Check your loop memories."
Judy tilted her head. "...you were a terrorist?"
"We thought of ourselves as freedom fighters. At one point we actually were-protesters, petitions-but things changed when... well." Blake rubbed her arm awkwardly. "I stayed on until a train mission. Robbing the Schnee company, I could go for, but letting the train operators be bombed to death... I drew the line at killing innocents. Cut the cars off so they could escape and made my way to Beacon from there."
"...I can respect that," Judy finally admitted. "I know that I've had to do less than legal things in my baseline to get the perp."
"Like I said, I've-"
"-seen the film, yeah. They skipped over a LOT of the paperwork, you know?" Judy chuckled. "You know, I think... I think this is why you get me."
"What?"
"We've both had to fight for our right to what might be seen as 'normal' by others. To live the life we want. Other loopers, they seem to be on edge around me, like they don't want to offend me for some reason-honestly though, I'm a big girl, I can take it." She shook her head. "I mean, really, a lot of them have suffered worse than me, they should... be..."
Judy frowned. "...Blake, why are you looking at me like that?"
The girl was staring at her in shock. "...Have you heard of the League of Looping Lagomorphs?"
"Um. No." Judy held out her hands. "Should I have? Am I going to get a letter in the mail or-"
"Oh sweet Dust. You don't know. You..." Blake's mouth worked for a few minutes, before she collected herself. "Okay. Where should I start with this..."
"What? Is this league some sort of..." Judy tilted her head. "Wait, do they teach rabbits crazy self-defense? Is that why people are so cautious around me?"
"No, it's... Look. You know the stereotype, right? Rabbits: Cute, cuddly, defenseless, all that?"
Judy frowned. "Yes."
"Forget it. It's wrong. Completely."
"Okay, sure. Wait, what?"
"Look," Blake said, "if you go around the multiverse and you find large populations of rabbits, most of the time you're safe-assuming they don't have names. The rabbits that have names, the rabbits that step up, the ones that are likely to become loopers... There's this girl called Cream, she's a nice rabbit from the Sonic loops, about six or eight years old, and she regularly decimates armies of robots. She's one of the local superheroes, and don't get me started on Rabbot... Bugs Bunny, he's a karmic trickster toon with all the powers that that entails. Peppy Hare, from Starfox, he's an experience starfighter pilot-Buck O'hare, leader of a rebellion against a space empire. I don't know if you've looped into Watership Down yet-"
"First fused loop. Wait, what are you-"
"My point is, most rabbits are cute, cuddly, and defenseless, because the ones that aren't are completely terrifying. And it's not just pure rabbits-the girl you're replacing can replicate any weapon she photographs at will and use it with expert skill. You've seen the crazy weapons everyone has, you know how terrifying that is. And Usagi, her name means rabbit... she fought, like, five or six different kinds of demons in her baseline, and she's one of the original seven on top of that. There's a loop where a group of rabbits slaughters a village of other rabbits, and the sole survivor chased them down and killed them all by either kicking their necks in half or throwing knives in their eyes. People aren't cautious around you because they're worried you might be fragile, they're cautious because they're worried you might fry them five ways to Friday!"
Judy gaped as Blake finished her rant, panting for breath. "That-that-that... I'm a cop! I want to serve and protect!"
"So you're the nice kind of terrifying. That's good to know."
"But-wait-you're kidding. You have to be pulling my leg, you can't possibly be serious."
Blake shook her head. "No. I'm sorry, but... Yggdrasil is filled with killer rabbits."
31.14 (wildrook): [Zootopia]
"You mean to tell me that you knew about the 'League of Looping Lagomorphs' thing?" she asked Nick, who was up against the wall. "And you didn't tell me!?"
"In my defense, Carrots," Nick replied, "I was told not to tell you UNTIL you found out. They've got close ties with the Vulpine Variety Ventures."
Judy blinked. "The what?" she asked him, letting go of his neck.
Nick groaned. "Long story," he muttered, "but let's just say that while the rabbits are lethal, the foxes are more varied and surprisingly noble." The irony was not lost on either of them. "And I'm not kidding about the close ties thing. Tails is an inventor who's friends with Cream the Rabbit, Fox and Krystal are part of a mercenary group with Peppy Hare, and Naruto Uzumaki and Kurama are close to Usagi due to being members of the O7. I think you can see why I wasn't allowed to tell you until they tried to make contact."
Judy groaned. "So, we're both tied in with groups that are mostly exaggerated variations of certain attributes." Nick gave out a snort. "Easy there, Wilde. I still have the camera thing that can copy weapons."
"I'm aware. I've taken a few archery lessons from Robin Hood myself." Nick gave Judy a look. "So now that we're part of groups that are not only close, but happen to be led by several powerful figures, should we discuss our plans for the Night Howler plants?"
Judy returned said look with a smirk. "I was more thinking we get you registered on the force first," she replied, "then we discuss plans. Still, how varied are these vulpines?"
"Ever hear of the concept of Yokai?" Judy gave him a nod considering she met a few moon rabbits from Gensokyo in that group. "Other than Kurama the Nine-Tailed Fox, there's Kurama from the Spirit Detective's branch, and then there's Kyubi from the place with the Yokai Watches. And the latter was new because he had no idea about Kurama and literally wet himself in terror. And the guy was an S-Class Yokai in Baseline, but to them, he was more of a four-tailed one."
"Wow," Judy muttered. "Anything else?"
"One thing… you ever run into a man named Takeru Tenkuji?" Judy shook her head as he snapped his fingers. "I was supposed to deliver him a package... a green eye that held the soul of Robin Hood... well, a Robin Hood. It kind of went in our possession one time."
"I think we'll keep an eye out when the time comes," the cop replied to the con-man. "Although I'm not familiar with the spiritual to be an expert of this thing, I can dabble."
Nick smirked. "I think they saw why you'd be a candidate," he said. "They can adapt. Although I could have done without the initiation concerning the robot pirate fox and the stun gun."
Either way, it proves that they had friends in high places. Although they did have questions whether or not other species had this kind of an alliance, though.
31.15 (jxz): [Tangled]
Flynn Ryder/Eugene Fitzherbert (Depending on the mood and loop) had Awoken in a bad place. Gothel had trapped him before he even had a chance to bust Rapunzel from the tower, and Maximus and Pascal were trapped in some kind of illusion she made. Apparently, across the years, Gothel had learnt some spells in this loop, which Flynn blamed to the rock dwarves in Elsa and Anna's kingdom. He didn't care that they didn't teach her magic, those were the most magical being in their loop, damn it!
"So, you think you can bust my dear daughter out of our house, and throw her into the dark, deep world you rat come from?" Gothel said in a mocking voice. Flynn noticed that Rapunzel was behind her, but she seemed to be in an illusion too. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, for her sake..."
"Ugh, would you please cut it out? We both know you want her for her hair, and if she loses her magic, you'd be more than happy to leave her." Flynn interrupted the madwoman, grinning as she changed faces from motherly to confused and then angry.
"So, you know about Rapunzel's secret?"
"What, about how she's the lost princess of the kingdom and her magical life hair? Yep. I also brought the royal guards to this place, so they'll be here soon." Flynn said, grinning as he tried his best to escape the ropes he was trapped with.
Gothel's face turned sour. "Is that so? Well... I won't go down that easily." She declared, preparing a spell in her hand. "If they want me, they'll have me... A little illusion to make you look like me, that horse like Rapunzel, then... The nasty Gothel was caught by the royal guards after she killed the young princess."
She expected Flynn's face turning to shock and fear, but instead he kept smiling. "Why are you smiling? Are you that calm in the face of death?"
"No, I'm just seeing my wife Waking Up." Flynn declared. Confused, Gothel turned around...
And she got a punch-shaped hair filled with green energy to the face. Rapunzel sighed. "Did you really have to distract her like that?"
"Yes, I did. Thank you for not using the Drill though." Flynn said, finally breaking free from the knots. "You sure took your time escaping that illusion."
"Well, next time you could help me, you know." the princess said, as she tangled her "mother" in her hair. "And I just Awoke, unlike you who didn't escape sooner."
"Well, sorry for trying to be a hero on the first try with no out-of-loop abilities this loop." The thief muttered, as he heard the guards arriving to the tower. "And in any case, where did you learn to create that green energy? You never told me."
"I just have good friends." Was all Rapunzel said, winking.
31.16 (wildrook): [Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir]
"Adrien..." Marinette muttered, caught in an awkward place.
"Marinette..." Adrien said.
"YOU'RE CHAT NOIR/LADYBUG!?" they both yelled.
Plagg and Tikki blinked.
"It had to happen sooner or later," the black cat muttered. "You know the terms of our bet, Tikki..."
Tikki gave out a sad sigh as she brought a slice of cheese to Plagg. "So much for the school figuring out before they do," she muttered.
31.17 (Luna Gale): [Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir] / [Danny Phantom]
"Doesn't Paris's skyline just lift your spirits?" Chat Noir commented, as he balanced on top of the Eiffel Tower.
Danny narrowed his eyes. Was this a challenge?
Not taking his eyes off Chat, Danny leaned back in the air, smirk rising on his face, "I'd say the view's purrfect, but I'd be lying."
Chat smirked, "Fe-lying?"
Danny snorted, "Of course, though," He continued, gesturing to the city of lights, "I may not be bright enough to appreciate this sort of thing."
"You have ghoulish tastes."
"Catastrophic even."
"Deadly."
"Clawful."
"Ghastly."
"Hissterically, pawsitively wrong."
Chat shook his head, trying to look serious, but his smirk ruined the effect, "Your mind must be phantasmal to not see the wonder and beauty of my lovely city."
"My mind?" Danny scoffed, dramatically placing a hand where his heart would be, "Well, excuse me, good neko, I may not be brilliant, but I am stable," He looked down to where his feet formed into a tail before looking back up, "Sort of. I'm sort of stable."
"Neigh!" Chat exclaimed, "Stables are for horses, and you, spirit, deserve the best beyond the grave! Not some mind, so transparent that it can not see the wonderful lights!"
"But what about ghost lights? They're beyond anything you could ever see."
Chat's ears went down, "No, fair, I just used the beyond pun."
"Yes," Danny said pointedly, "but you used it as a location. I used it as a concept."
"Still cheating."
"How can you cheat in puns?"
"When it 'tis a battle, any sort of fraud is seen as clawful!"
"..."
"..."
"You used that one didn't you?"
"Yep. You made a grave mistake."
"Fur real?"
"Dead serious."
The pun duo stared seriously at the Paris skyline for a moment, letting the mood settled in a semi-serious tone….before falling into a mess of snickers and giggles. If one were to look up at the Eiffel Tower at that moment, the residents of Paris would see two of their three protectors, laughing like school children, Phantom holding his stomach while he whirled around in the air, and Chat holding desperately to the tip of the tower, as he tried to catch his breath.
Overall, it was a pawsome, spirited night in Paris that evening.
31.18 (Hvulpes): [Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir]
Marinette was working on a list of the Akumas and the people they evilized, seeking a pattern to avoid them from happening. Even with variations within the time loops she was stuck in, likely from some unseen akuma. What she was looking at both shocked her and didn't.
"Okay, I know that Chloe was good at turning people into akumas due to her meanness. But the person who makes the most people upset enough to be evilized... is me? How could I do that?" she said out loud in her despair, not expecting an answer.
"It's not your fault, Marinette. You're only human and make mistakes. The trick is learning from them. Which you have many times. You may have caused the situation in the beginning, but since the loops began you been trying to fix or avoid causing problems, right?" asked Tikki, the small ladybug kwami as she floated near her friend and partner.
"Yes... I've tried to avoid making those mistakes. Made new ones, but I guess that's normal too." said the young woman as she perked up a bit. She continued, "And Hawk Moth will still make more akumas since I can't keep everyone in Paris happy and positive."
"A hero is the person who when there is a problem or a mistake, tries to fix it or make things better. No matter what you do... you try to make things better again. Which allows you to make things better." with her magical friend's wisdom, Marinette smiled which was followed by a frown.
"So how am I going to stop Chloe from making akumas with her sparkling personality?"
31.19 (phantomdemon2): [Gravity Falls]
"Dipper, Dipper! I found a Ray gun that makes everything SPARKLE!" Mabel shouted as she waved around said ray gun.
"Sure, cool, Whatever you say Mabel." Said Dipper as he continued to read the number 3 Journal.
"Dipper, what are you doing, I thought you memorized that things ages ago, be more excited about INFINITE SPARKLES!" Mabel complained.
Dipper put down the journal. "Sorry Mabel, was just checking to see if they were any changes this time around. But about that Ray gun" Dipper gave a downright evil grin to Mabel. "What say you and I go give the Manitours a little color?"
"That's downright mean Bro-bro. Let's do it!"
31.20 (Hvulpes): [Gravity Falls]
"Mabel, remember that ray which made things sparkly? Well, for our birthday, I decided to do one better...
Behold! The Mabelinator!" said Dipper, as he pulled out a bright pink hand-held ray gun with rainbows, ponies and kittens on it.
"The Mabelinator? One, have you been spending too much time with Dr. D?" asked his sister, curious.
"I like mysteries and what is science but a mystery... with cools stuff like lasers and explosions. So I like spending time with crazy scientists... like Great Uncle Ford."
"And two, what does the Mabelinator do?" continued the female Pine twin.
"It Mabelinates people. Behold!" he said, as he fired it at a red car in town. As the beam it, the car shimmered and warped, till a new car emerged. The metal and paint looked like it was made of glitter, the shape was now more like a kitten then a car, with sparkling big anime eyes for headlights. A brilliant rainbow from nothing shined over it.
Mabel eyes widen as did her smiled, as Dipper added, "Just try to avoid using it around me, Grunkle Stan or the Shack."
"I make no promises!"
31.21 (Hvulpes): [Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir] / [Wreck-It Ralph]
Chat Noir sighed again, which caused Ladybug to ask, "What is it?"
The blond hair boy in a mask answered, "It's just, I am getting tired of always being the destructive one. Even if it's my power, I would love to have a more constructive power like yours in creating things. Just once I would love to loop as a maker not a wrecker."
"Don't worry, Chat. I know eventually you'll get the powers you want." said the black haired girl as she smiled at her friend, crush, whatever.
One loop later...
Marinette, now named Rachel, glared down at Adrien. Who also had a different name. Her huge, ham like hands clenched in fists as she growled at him.
Adrien, now known as Felix, chuckled a little in his cap and overalls. He knew he wouldn't be keeping the big noise, but that magical golden hammer was going into his pocket so he could keep it forever.
31.22 (ScyBlade): [Transformers] / [Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir]
Optimus Prime Awoke, and promptly Pinged. He received a large number of replies, as was more common in his Loops. They did have a fair number of Loopers due to their Loops nature. And that would be the Code for Megatron being awake, and which Decepticons were also awake. Things were looking up.
He began looking around to visually identify any important details, such as Awake Autobots and Variances.
Speaking of Variances, he sighted in one potential Visitor. "Black Cat, you're looking out of it. Are you fully Awake or not?" he queried.
"Huh, oh yeah. Just a little Loopy. Know who I can use as an Anchor?" the black Autobot with feline suggestive decorations replied.
Optimus took a moment to review his Loop Memories. "Vector is unlikely to be available to talk to, but perhaps I can be of assistance." he answered in a jovial manner. "Just follow me so I can help you get your bearings."
Inside of what was normally Wheeljack's R&D Lab, they began their discussion.
"Huh, this place feels familiar." Black Cat started.
"It should, your unAwake self based it on his personal lab back on Cybertron. He invented many things there. Hopefully you will continue." Optimus explained. "Mind telling me somethings about yourself. It will help me refine my explanation of what goes on here."
Black Cat slowly walked around, confirming where everything was and what he could remember about his stuff, and that there were many explosions. He began his explanation, "Normally I'm just Adrien Agreste, model, until I meet Plagg. Then I get a cool ring that turns me into the superhero Chat Noir, or Cat Noir. We're not sure why that varies."
Optimus nodded. "That would explain your name here."
Black Cat shrugged, and continued his explanation, "We team up with this girl I like, Ladybug, our Anchor, and fight against Akumatized people. They're mostly normal people who've had the worst day of their life, and our villain, named either Hawk Moth or Le Papillon, takes advantage of. He uses their negativity, for lack of a better explanation, to turn them into monstrous versions of themselves." He sighs. "After we beat them, Ladybug does her thing, restoring the physical form of everything to before the Akumatization. Memories are left untouched."
Optimus had that look. The one indicating concern over what happens if the problem is left untreated. "What happens if she doesn't?"
Black Cat got a sad look. "The butterfly used for Akumatization will begin turning others into copies of the Akuma that are under the original's control."
Optimus nods. "I think that's enough for now. As you are replacing our local Mad Scientist, I am curious as to what you'll make."
"Interested in new ways of blowing up the local villains?"
"Megatron is awake, as well as some other Decepticons. We may be in for a relatively quiet Loop."
"Wait, based on my memories, isn't he the main Big Bad right now?"
"There are versions of our Loop where he is a powerful force for good. Sometimes he starts that way, others he comes around to our way. Now onto what goes on here..."
31.1: I don't blame her.
31.2: Redwall may have its ways, but don't assume things are the same everywhere.
31.3: Friendship between cops.
31.4: Redwall Loopers are apparently still inherently suspicious.
31.5: Dipper's real name is Mason, by the way.
31.6: And the Loopers from Mighty Ducks (1990s animated series) continue their adventures.
31.7: Stan must not be Awake this Loop.
31.8: Nice way to derail the bad guy's plans.
31.9: Yep... their Loop's preparing to expand.
31.10: ...
31.11: Nice to see those two as friends.
31.12: Yes, I can safely say he would not like that song.
31.13: And she's not kidding.
31.14: Picking up on the previous Loop's reveal... and Nick is friends with the fox Robin Hood from the 1973 film. And a bunch of other foxes.
31.15: Yeesh, that is a bad way to Awaken... good thing he had help.
31.16: Marking the first Loop of this series in this compilation... (Disney has most of its broadcasting rights outside of America and the compiler for Nickelodeon, where it used to be broadcast, didn't want it; that's why it's here.)
31.17: Punny.
31.18: Eeyup, she tries to plan ahead.
31.19: Ai yi yi...
31.20: See previous comment.
31.21: I fully understand your desires, Adrien.
31.22: And a new friendship begins.
