Wow. I am seriously blown away by you guys. I didn't even realize I had so many reviews for a few days after posting until I checked to respond to some. I mean... wow. Just wow. 13 reviews for the last chapter and two funnily random reviews for chapters 1 and 5. Just for that, I'm going to post this a few days earlier than planned.
agui0388, Guest (anonymous 1), ShepardisaBOSS, Story wanderer (Guest), Guest (anonymous 2), majishan, book muncher, Dragonfan47, Guest (anonymous 3), Guest (anonymous 4), Paint the Wolf (Guest), E (Guest), Guest (anonymous 5), and GameBerzerker (Guest) all reiewed! Thank you all SO very much!
For some of the guest reviews:
Anon 1: I sure hope I don't loose my fingers, and so far there's no plans for stopping. ;)
Paint: First: No such thing as too much ice cream. Second: Sabine's a looper so that automatically tells you she's probably lost a few marbles throughout the millenia. Third: Not just the universe! The MULTIVERSE! MWAHAHAHA!
E: Eh, it's more like a collection of slightly connected oneshots. And I'll probably work that idea in somewhere. ;)
GameBerzerker: *blushes and squees* Thank you so much! I don't think it's THAT good but if you say so~ The matter of OCs is that this takes place in a sort of strict canon setting... Things happen outside of canon but unless it's someone from another loop visiting there won't be any new faces popping up. Sadly. :( And... IT'S OVER 9,000!

The Adventures of a Time Traveling Padawan Chap 7
7.1
"Ezra?"
"Don't ask. Please please please don't ask."
"…"
"…"
"…Okay now I have to ask."
"Please don't," He practically begged in time to a samba.
"Why can't we speak without singing in this loop?" Zeb asked confusedly in a mysterious trill.
"I hate this… I hate this so much…" Ezra groaned to the tune of 'dun dun duuun'.
Zeb snickered to the sound of 'ba dum tish'.
7.2
Ezra Awoke without any loop memories. Usually when Awakening he would remember all his memories before Awakening, but this time there were none.
It was seriously driving him nuts.
Going for the side of caution, he donned his favorite Jedi cloak and set out for the familiar city he could see on the horizon. Lothal was a planet that was very recognizable, especially if you lived there repeatedly throughout time.
Coming into the city he nearly had a heart attack coming face to face with his own… well, face.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" The other him said hurriedly, looking behind him.
Ezra relaxed slightly as he realized that his hood covered his looks. Quickly casting multiple appearing modifying charms (starting with his age) he steadied his off balance younger (relatively) self with his arm. Looking back to him his younger self blinked when he looked taller.
"Are you okay?" He asked carefully with a different voice.
"Fine, um, oh karrabast!" He watched as the other him looked back at the stormtroopers running around the corner.
Without a second though Ezra pulled his younger self behind him and hid him behind a nearby crate before anyone could see.
The stormtroopers came through asking, but nobody could (more like would) tell them anything. By the time they'd left Ezra had gotten everything together in his mind.
He pulled off his hood to look into the eyes of his other self. "Hi there," He smiled kindly.
He had lightened his skin tone considerably and his face was now more thick set, without his easily recognizable nose. He'd never liked the thing anyways. He sadly had to change his electric blue eyes into a boring hazel, with his hair being put in a much shorter cut and a stringy blackish brown. He was obviously much taller and he had based his body build off of Loki from the Avenger's loop. That guy was awesome.
"Hi." His younger self grinned shyly. "Thanks for helping me out." Judging by the other's voice, it was a while after he'd joined with the crew of the Ghost.
"No problem kid. My name's Michael Pill, you can go ahead and call me Mike. What'd you do to get the attention of the Empire like that?" Michael Pill was a name he'd been given in a crossover where his name wasn't normal and he'd gotten quite fond of it. Fond enough to use it as an alias when one was needed.
"You wouldn't really believe me if I told you. My name's Ezra," He added on, as if an afterthought.
"Try me kid." He chuckled. "Well, actually, don't tell me yet. We need to get away from the rest of the bucketheads." He pointed over his shoulder where the stormtroopers were searching nearby.
"I'm guessing you're not such a fan of the Empire?" Ezra cautioned.
"Is anyone really?" Mike deadpanned. "Now hold on a second, I think I have something…" He reached as if searching in his cloak, but was really reaching into his subspace pocket. "Ah here we go." He pulled out a different cloak that luckily wasn't in the Jedi style.
"Thanks," Ezra slipped it on easily and yanked the hood over his head. Mike pulled on his own hood and they stepped out into the streets, sneaking away from the search zone.
A few minutes after they got away an explosion ripped through the air.
"Ah, it all makes sense now." Mike looked back at his younger self with a smirk.
"I uh… It wasn't me?"
"Uh huh." He droned dryly. "Now, where were you headed in such a hurry? And yes I noticed you were running in the opposite direction of the big boom."
"Meeting up with some friends of mine." Ezra shrugged, not admitting but not denying it either.
"Mmhmm." Mike hummed. "Lead on my little friend." He waved a hand in front of them jokingly.
"Wait, why?" Ezra looked at him suspiciously.
"I have nothing better to do than stick it to the Empire, you're obviously a rebel of some sort, you seem to be doing a decent enough job, I don't even live here, I'm passing through, oh and do you think I can't recognize a padawan when I see one?" He shifted his cloak so that Ezra saw the lightsaber hilt on his waist without anyone else happening to see it.
Mike watched amusedly as Ezra gaped at him.
"You're a-"
"Yes, though I don't think you should be saying it. Wait… that's hypocritical, never mind. Go ahead." Ezra couldn't hold in a snort.
"You're definitely different."
"Kid, you have no idea." Mike couldn't hold back a snicker. "Go on back to your master and talk to him, I did mean it when I said I wanted to stick it to the Empire. And I really don't have anything better to be doing."
"Alright, I guess…" Ezra shook his head and started off through the streets, quickly disappearing among the throng of people.
"This loop's gonna be interesting…" 'Mike' mused as he let his eyes flash their original color.
Oh yeah, he looked badass.
7.3
Zeb blinked as he Awoke. Then cursed heavily.
"I hate looping in as a human!" He slipped into several other languages. Once he managed to curb his frustration he took a look at his loop memories.
'Garazeel Redfox' was his name this loop, and looking at his 'magic' he was slightly relieved to know that he was more or less an animalistic human. He used 'Iron Dragonslayer Magic' and was in a magic guild.
Seeing what he had just been asked to do a few minutes prior to Awakening, Zeb cursed again and started planning.
"Hihihihihihihi!" Zeb yelped rather loudly as he was tackled energetically. "I'm Lucy I'm an Anchor and you might not know what that is but if you do that means you're a guest looper and hiiiiii!"
"You're a looper?!" He sputtered as the busty blonde who had just glomped him jumped back with a manic grin.
"Yup! Lucy Heartfilia, Anchor of the Fiore loop! Nice to meet you! You're replacing a friend of mine, his name's Gajeel!" She nodded.
"Lucy is an example of what happens to Anchors who are looping too long before others start looping." A man with orange hair rolled his eyes fondly at her. "I'm Loke, Gajeel usually joins our team. When he Awakes he usually pulls something similar to what you've done." He pointed behind them at the ruins of the guild, which Zeb wouldn't even bother with using their name.
"Blowing up the headquarters of power hungry jerks is something I do all the time in my loop." Zeb smirked slightly. "Name's Zeb, though the loop put me as Garazeel. Weirdest friggin' name, I swear the loops never give me a normal one…"
"Zeb? That's short for something, right?" Loke motioned for them to start walking down the road, Lucy leading with a skip.
"Garazeb Ourellios." He nodded. "I'm not human in my home loop, hate having to loop in as one."
Loke laughed slightly. "Most don't. I'm not human myself, Celestial Spirits have more of an ethereal presence than humans so the many times I've been turned into one have gone kind of strangely."
"I bet. What happens in this loop?" He asked, wanting to know what he was getting into.
"Well, a lot of things to be honest. All of them centered around fighting and our guild, Fairy Tail. It's nothing like Phantom Lord," He assured at Zeb's face. "Fairy Tail isn't really a guild, it's a family."
"Sounds like my crew," Zeb chuckled.
"Well then you'll fit right in!" Lucy chirped from in front of them.
"Great." He droned sarcastically.

"I don't know," Hera looked at her ship in trepidation. "I like my ship the way it is."
"And I know that, I just really really want to try this out." Ezra lifted up a glass vial holding an Allspark shard. "If things don't go well you can just go on vacation and pretend that it never happened next loop." Oddly enough it was only the two of them Awake this loop.
"Okay… and if they do?"
"I can download his or her memories and repeat the process the next loop or whenever you want. I'll eventually be able to make an Intelligent Device out of their spark and then they'll be connected to your soul, causing him or her to loop in with you."
"You've really planned this out haven't you?" She asked amusedly at his eager expression.
"I already used it on a NonAwake Chopper." Her eyes widened. "Let's just say that awesomeness ensued."
"Go for it, I guess…" She trailed off as he cheered excitedly. She watched as he practically yanked the vial open and chunked the piece of super powered metal at her precious ship.
She started to regret it when the shard sucked itself in the direction of the ship as if magnetized, making a strange laser-like sound when it impacted. She held a hand to her mouth in worry as her ship began to rattle and shake crazily.
"Don't worry, it's supposed to do this!" Ezra yelled over the sound of metal clattering.
With a commendable imitation of an explosion of metal her ship expanded, parts shifting and moving in all directions. She squeaked in surprise when a ginormous (even for a Cybertronian) bot knelt down in front of them.
"Do you squishies understand the concept of a time loop?" He asked, deep voice vibrating their bones.
"Oh come on!" Ezra threw the vial down with a whine. The twilek and Cybertronian watched as he stalked off grumbling to himself about something.
"Was it something I said?" The bot asked.
Hera just shook her head. "He's the Anchor. This loop he wanted to experiment with my ship with some fragment thing…" She motioned to the bot.
"Ah, that makes sense." The bot chuckled. "Name's Starscream, started out bad in my loop but not anymore because of the loops. I'm usually a fighter jet too…" He looked over his frame curiously.
"A fighter jet? Would that by chance be similar to a Tie Fighter?"
"Tie Fighter? Aw fraggit, not this loop…"
"What?" She asked, slightly offended.
"Sorry, the other times I Awoke here I was a Sith." Starscream explained. "The first time it was fun because I hadn't exactly become a good guy yet, but after that it was just annoying."
"I don't blame you, the few times Ezra and Kanan have looped as Sith they were pretty scarred." She nodded sympathetically.
7.5
Erza's smirk of satisfaction got a lot of exercise as she watched her friends Awake over the course of a certain loop.
'Zeeba's' curses had been the most inventive obviously, but 'Hara's' had been the funniest. 'Sable' had been entirely too amused at the situation and 'Kallan' (called 'Kally') had just rolled her eyes. Once they were all Awake they gathered together to discuss the loop.
"You know, you don't ever really notice how rarer women are until all the men turn into them and vice versa." Hara commented amusedly.
"I noticed that my first genderbent loop." Erza snickered at Zeeba's expression, which was coming off as constipated.
"How do you stand this?!" She hissed angrily, ears flattening to her head.
"Once you're an alicorn in a loop full of colorful ponies, nothing catches you off guard." Kallan droned in a deadpan.
"Try some of the backstories I've Awoken with!" Sable snorted. "Sob stories all of them, but still pretty mentally scarring."
"I think we all deal with that particular trouble," Kallan said.
"Not as bad as her, I mean, him." Erza spoke up. "I've seen a few of those backstories the loops have given him. They're not pretty."
"Can we get onto the topic of the really screwed up loop we're in right now?" The lasat growled angrily as they ignored her.
"I've had some really bad ones too," Hara contributed. "Being a twilek, if you get what I mean."
"Yowch, that's rough." Sable flinched sympathetically.
"Why are you all ignoring me?" Zeeba grumbled to herself.
"I think it's the gender switch, change in hormones and all." Erza told her quietly. "Coincidentally, are ALL female lasat grumpy or is that just you this loop?"
"I hate you all…" She growled.
7.1
*The loops are funny sometimes.
*I think Ezra hates these types of loops...
7.2
*Looping Ezra meets NonAwake Ezra...
7.3
*Tiny sort-of tie-in with my old looping story Looping Fairies, about the manga/anime Fairy Tail... Lol I feel bad about what I did to poor Lucy in there. It's a little old and was from early on when I was first trying to write humor but I had some pretty good comments. It's currently completed as I feel like I didn't want to add anything more to it.
*Also - GARAZEEL. IRON DRAGONSLAYER ZEB. YEEEEEESSSSHHHHH.
7.4
*Ezra is thorough in his planning. Ezra also likes the Cybertronian loop. But he wasn't expecting Starscream to all of a sudden loop in.
*I imagine Hera and Starscream spent the rest of the loop arguing over who would actually 'pilot'.
7.5
*Here's that genderbend Paint. ;3
*Had fun with the names. Also, Kanan went to Equestria REALLY REALLY early in his looper lifetime... It kind of left a mark.
This set was pretty entertaining. ;) Also, guys, I LOVE to hear ideas from you! I really, REALLY do! I might not write them or they'll show up WAAAY later (remember I had 15 chapters prewritten) but I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS! :D
Please Read and Review!
