Hello and good morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Welcome to my little part of Yggdrasil and welcome to the Eyeshield 21 branch of the Infinite Loops! Before we get started here are the Loop mechanics for those whom are not familiar with the Infinite Loops:

Loop mechanics (general):

* One person in a Loop, often the main character, is an Anchor. They are the person who first starts time looping

* There is always at least one Anchor present in a given Time Loop snippet, though it may not be the local one.

* The standard pattern for a loop is that the Anchor (and whoever else is Looping there) come to awareness in a loop at a particular point in the story. From there, events will play out as influenced by the Loopers present, acting with the benefit of their foreknowledge, until either a predetermined end point is reached or all the Loopers have copped it.

* To be Awake is to be aware of the time loops (that is, to have gone back in time this time.)

* The Anchor is the only character guaranteed to be Awake. Even after others have started looping, it is mostly random as to whether they will be Awake this particular loop.

* Crossovers, fusions, and alternate pasts can also take place. It is perfectly possible, for example, to have the characters Awaken into a loop which conforms to a fanfic universe rather than reality.

* Loops do not have to be in chronological order, but it is strongly preferred that they not require a mutually contradictory order (where A must be before B and B must be before A.)

* Just about every Looper is very, very stir crazy.

Now, here are the spefiic rule regarding Eyeshiled 21's branch:

...well this is rather awkard. Right now there are none.

Other than that, if you like what you see, and want to participate in this or any other loop, hop onto the Google/Bing and look for the following (since Fanficton and links are not really compatible)

* TV tropes

* Spacebattles forum creative writing (I would go to the Misc. section first)

If you want to make a suggestion or write a snip please post it in the Misc. section in the Spacebattles forums.

Now that that is settled...lets get started, shall we?

Loop 1.1

The moment Sena Kobayakawa joined the football team was the moment he realized his life would change for ever.

At first it was the most horrifying experience he had ever had the displeasure to experience (mostly because of Hiruma, but that's another story)

Imagine Sena's surprise as he realized he was standing in front of his old high school Deimon.

Looking at the entrance exam board.

Confusion set in as Sena looked at the exam board and found his number (21), and was even more confused when Mamori (who Sena was positive had already graduated from Deimon, and himself for that manner) started to jump up and down in excitement.

Sena just let things happen the way he thought was best, and as Mamori left to get an information packet, a very familiar blond quarterback and his chestnut headed friend rushed him, launching him into the air.

Hiruma smiled as he handed Sena a cell phone. "Hey! Call your parents to tell them that you go in!"

Sena was about to do just that, then stopped. He quickly recalled the flood of recruitment posters for the football team. That await him at home the evening he got into Deimon.

Which for some reason he was reliving.

"Wait..." Sena paused dialing his phone number, causing the Devil of Deimon to pause for a split second. "...this is how you find out where I live, isn't it? Riku told me Kurita tried to do the same thing at Enma."

"Enma?"

"Why would I do that?" The sencerity in Hiruma's voice must have been an informed attirbutre, as Sena wasn't buying it for a second.

"To blackmail me? And what are you two doing back here? What am I doing back here? Didn't we graduate?"

Hiruma and Kurita took a good look at each other, then decide to just leave the little freshman alone. "Uh,. Hiruma? Aren't we gonna...?"

"I don't want someone with mental trauma before the game, ya damn fatty."

"Yea, doesn't that come after they play?"

Sena shook his head as he tried to think things through.

The next day.

Classes where as Sena vaguely remembered them (let face it, who ever actually pays attention in class?), and thankfully it was the end of the day. The field was empty as Sena stared at the opposite end.

Forty yards away was a pair of orange cones.

They beconed to Sena with words they did not speak.

Sena always felt better after a run. With the very confusing day he was having, doing the forty would help him think clearer.

Unbeknownst to him, a certain demonic quarterback had walked out of the hall and saw Sena.

"What are you doing?" Hiruma thought. He got his answer as Sena got into position. "The forty? Hmm...I wonder..."

A Stopwatch was quickly gripped in his hand. "Let's see what you can do."

At his command, Sena burst forward, his legs caring him towards the goal. The surroundings blurred as he reached the wall of lightspeed...

The stopwatch beeped, Hiruma ending its job of keeping time. With a smug look, he looked at the kid running out of the school's field to check his time.

Said smug look turned into an equal mix of horror, confusion, and excitement.

"No way..."

Sena Kobayakawa had just run forty yards in 4.19 seconds.

"Maybe we need a little crazy after all."

Loop 1.2

Sena had figured out that for some reason time was resetting over and over and over again, and he was the only one who noticed.

He sat on the bench, garbed as Eyeshield 21 as the rest of the Deimon Devil Bats Temps finished the game against the Cupids.

He needed to spice things up a bit. But how. His eyes wandered, and he saw Shinjiro Shin and Haruto Sakuraba flee from the fangirls.

That gave Sena an idea...

Sena ran through the halls of Deimon High School at a fast, but not lightspeed fast pace, drawing the attention of all who saw him.

Especially Mamori.

"Sena, why are you naked!?"

"Otawara taught me all he knew!"

"Who's Otawara!?"

Loop 1. 3

Sena sighed. This was the seventh time he had relieved his life.

The seventh time.

It was starting to get old.

"Sena, you look down." Mamori noted. The two were walking to school, Sena ready for (yet another) first day at Deimon. "Are you worried about something?"

"This is going to sound really weird Mamori, but if I told you I was stuck repeating my life over and over again, what you you say?"

"I would say you need to go see a psychiatrist." Mamori laughed. Sena however did not. "...you really think you're repeating your life over and over again?"

"Guess so…" Sena sighed. "At first I htough it was neat. But now...I'm bored out of my mind. I change a few things like helping the football team win the times we lost, but that doesn't change much."

"Well, maybe you need to...wait are you planning on joining a sports team!?" Mamori was quite shocked at that statement, Sena sweating bullets

[i]"Whoops. Forgot that Mamori was like that before she found out."[/i] "No no, I'm just he manager!"

"Oh good. For a second I thought Hiruma blackmailed you."

Sena repressed a laugh. "So….if you were me…"

"Sena, you know it's impossible to be stuck in what you are saying is a time loop." Mamori replied. "it's just impossible."

'But if you were?"

"Well, if I was stuck in a time loop...I would definitely give those bullies who pick on you a piece of my mind."

The faces of Jumonji, Kuroki, and Togano flashed before Sena's eyes. Sure they were bullies now, but they almost always ended up as Sena's friends. "I was hoping you would say something a little less...confrontational."

"Well, maybe go to a different school?" Mamori suggested. "Something like Ojo maybe? If you were in a time loop you would have plenty of time to study and get in."

At that Sena grinned. "Or do I?"

Loop 1.4

During the next time loop, Sena decided to take Mamori's advice.

Just not in the way she would expect if she knew what happened last time.

Sena shuddered as he approached Zokugaku High School. Which was commonly known as a pit full of delinquents.

"Let's hope that Habashira isn't that much of a punk." Sena thought to himself. "Because I have the feeling this is a bad idea..."

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Sen shouted as he rode his motorcycle alongside the rest of the Chameleons, Habashira leading the pack. The police was hot on their tails but Sena didn't mind.

He was happy that he was able to spice things up.

Loop 1.5

"Uh, Monta?"

"Yea Sena?"

"Your hair is a little...bluer than normal."

Monta looked at his friend strangely. "Sena, blue is my natural hair color."

"Right, I forgot. Silly me."

Sena sighed before making a mental note. "So, not only is time repeating but sometimes details change without me being the changer. I hope it doesn't do anything too horrible like make Mamori evil or something."

Loop 1.6

Ever since Sena had relived his life fourteen times already, he had begun to notice a few consistencies.

The first is that time was indeed repeating, but only in a certain segment of time repeated. By now, it was painfully clear that the period of time in question started at his first day at Deimon High, and ended about two weeks after his first game at Enma University against the cupids (he never really cared for their actual name. Most of their team members came from the High School Cupids so they might as well be the called the Other Cupids team). Every now and again Sena found up at a time before or after when the loop usually started or ended.

Which lead to the second fact. While time was repeating, there were only a few constants. The path mostly was the same if Sena didn't do anything major to it, but every now and again there were some changes from what Sena remembered it.

They were usually small changes, such as Monta having blue as his natural hair color, Mamori trading her obsession for cream puffs for some other dessert like cheese cake one time, or Togano secretly wanting to write scripts for soap opreas instead of manga.

Like everything else these changes weren't permanent when everything reset, but that didn't stop them from being weird.

But sometimes they weren't small changes.

A large group of people surrounded Ishimaru, chanting his name over and over as they tossed him into the air. This time around, the change was that Ishimaru, usually the most overlooked person at Deimon was now the most noticeable.

Sena oddly found the situation both incredibly hilarious and oddly heartwarming. The universe tended to pick on Ishimaru often.

Sena smiled, knowing that for once Ishimaru wasn't regulated to being the butt of the joke.

Loop 1.7

Kid Devil Bat Uprising

Part 1

Darkness.

Sena saw nothing but darkness as he ran towards something. "Sorry to keep you waiting!" Sena shouted to no one in particular.

"Huh?" Was the thought going through his head at this time. "Why would I say that? What is going on?"

Then a door opened, revealing a blue sky. Littered with endless clouds. As if some other force directed him, he lept out of the doorway and jumped. "It's been too long Lady Palutena."

Just as Sena was about to scream, he suddenly stopped falling yet was still above the clouds. It took him to realize that he for some reason had wings. "We can chat latter Pit." A voice spoke to him with an echo that seemed like ti came from everywhere at once. The voice was soft and gentle. "But now, it's time to fight. The underworld Army is invading!"

Several Monoeyes, reddish creatures with one eye, flew towards him with evil intent in they singular eyes. "Whoa, you weren't kidding!"

Hold the L button fire!"

"The ...L button?"

You know, the L Button? It's on your First Blade, just under the guard."

Until now Sena had not realized he was even carrying a weapon. The weapon that the voice had identified as a First Blade was indeed a blade. It looked like a gun covered with white plating with yellow trim. Obeying the voice, he held the L button.

A stream of purple energy bullets, fast enough to be similar to machine gun fire from the future shot out of the weapon. Panicked Sena pointed every which way.

Unsurprisingly, the shots missed the Monoeyes.

"You're aims a little off today isn't it?"

"I guess so." Was Sena's reply. He aimed again, pressing the L button on the weapon. Instead of a stream of energy bullets, a single large bullet fired, the burst lazily arching towards the Monoeye. It exploded in a burst of energy, with several Hearts flying from it and into Sena."That reminds me, did I tell you that if you wait a little while between firing you can charge up a charge shot?"

"Uh, no!"

"Well, if you wait a little while between firing you can charge up a charge shot."

Sena chose not to reply as he thought things over. "This is weird. It's like I'm dreaming. I know that my name is Sena Kobayakawa. I know that I play football. But my memories say that I am Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light Palutena. My memories say I am an angel, who can't fly on his own for some reason.

"I know that my memories about me being a football player are right...but why am I convinced that they aren't?"

Palutena interrupted. "Pit, you okay? I didn't mock you too much, did I?"

"No, its just...what am I doing, exactly?"

"Are you sure you're okay? Not feeling Loopy?"

"No, I'm fine...but...uh…."

"These are Underworld troops Pit. That means that Medusa, the goddess of darkness has been resurrected." A hint of sadness was in Palutena's voice as she explained. "Though she had been defeated long ago, she'll back now. And as the goddess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her."

"...okay. Just sounds...weird."

"I've seen weirder." A arm, or at least a holographic arm, then rose from the clouds, heralding the arrival of it's owner. "Speak of the Goddess." Palutena sighed as the rest of the being rose from the clouds, revealing the owner's true form.

Sena almost wanted to hurl.

"MAMORI!"

The figure was indeed a projection of Mamori Anezaki, aside from several details. Her skin was a pale ivory white, and her normally modest clothing was replaced with an exotic royal purple toga that had one single sleeve on her left side. Her right arm carried a staff that had several wicked curves nearing the top.

The most startling feature was her head. Her right eye had a tattoo above and around it, and her hair, while short, was home to several green scaled snakes (and one gold scaled one). Her eyes flashed with an evil red light for just a moment before staring at the angel.

"Oh Pit, you've forgotten my name already?" Mamori responded. Her voice, like Palutena's, also echoed. Her tone however, was not as benign, the sound akin to rancid meat covered in honey to hide the rotted taste. "It's only been 25 years since we last crossed paths. I almost feel insulted. Almost. In any case,I figured I would throw myself a little party."

"Uh, this really doesn't look like a party." Palutena snarked. The goddess of darkness ingored that statement and continued.

"Oh what better way to celebrate my return than with a festive little bloodbath." The monster in Mamori's skin taunted. "Don't worry Pit. You're invited too. I wouldn't want you to miss the lovely little death I have planned for you."

With a wave of the staff Mamori had in her right hand, her projection faded, as several Monoeyes dived through the cloud layers and towards the surface.

As Sena unwillingly dived towards the surface, he shouted to Palutena. "WHAT IS GOING ON! WHY DOESN'T MAMORI REMEMBER ME!"

"...You know her?"

"Of course I know her! We're childhood friends!" Sena angrily shouted. "We went to school together! She managed the football team I was on! She's not a goddess of darkness! So what is happening!

Palutena was silent for just a moment before answering. "Let me take a guess. Time has been repeating over and over again? No one remembers except you? Little details changing every now and again?"

This calmed Sena down just a bit. "Yea. What's going on?"

"Well, that explains why Medusa looks like that this time." Palutena replied. "It's gonna take a while to give the entire 'Welcome to the Multiverse Speech', so let's handle the situation here first. I'll control your flight path, just focus on taking down Underworld troops as fast as you can."

Reluctantly, Sena did as the goddess commanded, firing at the monsters of the Underworld.

[-]

After several narrowing near misses, Sena landed in a back alley of a town that looked like it was taken straight from a history book. "Okay now what?"

"Well, Mardusa has released an evil beast at the Colosseum, or is going to. I suggest making your way there."

"Mardusa?"

"I mixed the two names together. Neat name right?"

Sena did not reply and just started to run. He blazed out of the alley, running as fast as he could past the snakes, Monoeyes, and other strange creatures.

"Pit slow down!"

"But you said run!"

"But you're skipping the treasure chests!"

"Really!?"

"Yes really! They're boxes with things inside of them! Who doesn't like that?"

"I just want to leave! And my name isn't Pit, it's Sena Kobayakawa!"

"Boss ahead."

Sena just sighed as he ran into the coliseum. He skid to a stop as he saw a huge twin headed dog that was on fire howled at him, leaping from the stands where he stood and into the arena. It glared at him with evil intent.

Sena didn't know whether to laugh or to be horrified. The right head seemed to be wearing sunglasses and had dreadlock like hair on fire. The left head had a more stoic expression and was the closest thing a fiery dog could be to bald.

For some reason Agon and Unsui were a twin headed demon dog.

"Uh..."

"That's Twinbellows, the faithful guardian of the Underworld." Palutena explained. Twinbellows then lunged at Sena, swinging a massive paw at their foe. At lightspeed, Sena quickly dodged the attack, sliding to a stop.

"Now Sena! Shoot!" Sena did so, another shot firing at the Kongos. The howled and shoot fireballs at Sena, whom barely had time to dodge. The fire struck him, the angel taking a knee.

As a football player, Sena was accustomed to getting hit hard. But this was a completely different experience. It was like the time he and Monta climbed Tokyo Tower and Hiruma cranked the temperature in the Observation Room up, only twenty one times worse. "You okay?"

"I could use a little help!"

"Coming right up Sena." At her command, a large pink beam of energy that came from somewhere struck the beast. "What is that?"

"It's my Power of Mega Laser. Like it?"

Sena couldn't reply, as he was struck by the massive paw of the beast. He flew into the wall, sliding off of it slowly. He groan as he focused on the beast who was howling in celebration.

He slowly aimed the First Blade at Agon's head and pulled the trigger. The energy bolt flew toward and true, striking the beast. It hit him with authority, stunning him. Another charged shot followed by a third, and the two shots stuck him, creating a sickening crack that echoed.

Sena knew he had won.

The beast then reared back, and for some reason exploded into a column of dark energy. "Huh. That's weird."

"Bosses here tend to do that."

"Okay..." Sena then looked toward the sky, which had cleared and returned to being blue. In the sky the projection of the mockery of Mamori appeared, looking at Sena with an anticipatory look in her eyes. Neither said a word to the other, and Mamori had faded just as quickly as she appeared.

"Let's get you back to Skyworld. I owe you an explanation." Before Sena could protest, a column of light enveloped Sena, and he quickly teleported away to lands unknown to him.

1.1: And Sena's journey into the loops begins!

1.2: Because why the hell not?

1.3: Oh the wonders of a little suggestion

1.4: Zongaku is pretty close to Deimon...

1.5: Oh my I appear to have turned on the gag.

1.6: Shame it will only last for one loop.

1.7: Sena's first Fused Loop. It's gonna be a ride.
