[I OWN NOTHING AND IT SUCKS]
The Adventures of a Time Travelling Padawan Chapter Twenty
20.1 numair2304
Ezra allowed his anger at the Inquisitor to power him as he reached with the force to the mind residing in the ravine below. The Inquisitor looked on in disbelief as a small white bird appeared over the lip of the ravine and launched itself at him.
Batting it away with one hand he said, "What a disappointing opponent you are, boy." Only to notice that Ezra had started to move away from the area with speed.
The Cuckoo Swarm descended.
Ezra reached casually into the ravine with the force, not finding any fun with this for some reason. Usually he could find a way to mess around but for once he was feeling kind of… bored with this scene.
While the giant creature climbed its way up to him he hummed and rubbed his chin. Well, that was an idea…
Five minutes later the Inquisitor had to flee or risk being cuddle crushed by a swarm of suddenly exceedingly friendly creatures.
"Meh, not my best idea." Ezra shrugged. "I'll have to ask Yoyo for some tips."

Ezra allowed his anger at the Inquisitor to power him as he reached with the force to the minds residing in the ravine below.
He then smiled and Force yanked the two lighsabers away from the Inquistor while throwing something yellow straight at him. The Inquisitor, sensing through the force that the item was no threat, caught it in his free hand. He identified it as some form of yellow fruit, which he then realized had some form of adhesive on it bonding it to his hand.
"Banana?"
The Inquisitor saw a strange yellow life form standing on the edge of the ravine and a second and third appear. Soon an entire horde were charging at him yelling the same thing over and over.
"Bananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananabanana!"

Ezra allowed his anger at the Inquisitor to power him as he reached with the force to the mind residing in the ravine below.
He frowned as he realized the mind was definitely not what he was expecting.
The Inquisitor looked on in disbelief as a pink pony suddenly appeared by the boy with what appeared to be some rudimentary cannon.
"It's time for a party!" Yelled the pony as the howitzer fired.
As Ezra ran yelling at Kanan to get to the ship, he glanced back over his shoulder to see the first round of icing and streamers hit the Inquisitor.
'Next time I'm checking ahead to make sure that it's baseline.' He thought.

The Inquisitor stared at the Padawan on the edge of the ravine and then something caught his eye. By his foot there was a gold ring. He could feel the darkness surrounding it, calling him, looking at him. Losing interest in his surroundings he dropped his lightsabers and picked up the ring.
"Precious."
The Inquisitor just admired the ring in his hand.
"My precious. Give us back our precious!"
The sentence broke through the clouds filling the Inquisitor's mind and he looked up to see a wiry humanoid launch itself at him.
Kanan and Ezra watched the ensuing struggle.
"The Inquisitor versus Gollum, not something you get to see everyday." said Kanan, observing that while usually the Inquisitor should have been able to send Gollum flying his obsession with the ring was blunting his concentration and forcing him to just physically wrestle with Gollum to hold onto the ring.
"I didn't realize this was a fused loop," Ezra said. "But we better hope that after the fight we find a way to destroy it. I don't want Palpatine to get his hands on it."
He winced as a small scream came from the fighting pair.
"Ooh, finger."

Kanan Awoke and immediately facepalmed.
"Kanan? What's wrong?" Hera looked at him in worry.
Hurriedly trying to pull his loop memories together Kanan took a step back and rubbed his forehead. "Um… I… just hold on a second, please…" Seeing that he was trying to work something out NonAwake Hera did just that, waiting patiently.
'Ezra!' He groaned across the bond. 'Please provide a well needed distraction right about now…' He shoved a mental bundle across to his padawan so he'd know why.
'Well I could but she'd just stew and want to know later. On the other hand if she's kept extremely busy she might, and this is a very extreme might, forget about it.' There was a pause. '…Plus I've been having fun betting with LOKI on PreAwakening you and Hera.'
'I hate you.'
'Now now, hate is not the proper emotion for a jedi…'
Kanan did the mental equivalent of a slap upside the head. 'Please don't quite baseline deficiencies on me.'
Ezra snickered. 'I can get Kallus to stage something if you're really that desperate.'
'Ezra you've been betting on my PreAwakening love life you know very damn well I am that desperate. Tell him I'll get him some blackmail level pictures from his NonAwake self.'
'Oooh, he'll like those. Let me check. For now though you're on your own.'
"Crap." Kanan facepalmed again.
When Hera gave him a quizzical look he nearly facepalmed again.
Several days later Kanan slouched in a chair guiltily.
"I try, honestly I do." He groaned. "But Awake Hera's a lot better at dealing with Awakening into relationships than me."
"Probably because your NonAwake self is harder to deal with than NonAwake Hera." Sabine pointed out, relaxed into a chair herself. "And you are such a pushover, Kanan! You can barely even work up the guts to break up with her if you Awake into the beginning of the relationship. Any later on and you skip planet." She motioned to their surroundings. "Such as now."
Kanan just sunk into his chair more. "Well what about you and Ezra? I didn't see him jumping at the chance to have a vacation loop with you." 'And me.' He mentally added. They were usually fine with him chaperoning anyways.
"We had a fight." Sabine waved it off. "I don't remember what it was about, but it was several loops ago. We have this agreement that if we disagree real badly we spend at least five loops each apart. If we feel like we need more we negotiate in a calm and definitely not-involving-eggbombs manner. Usually by the time the five loops is up we forgot what was even the matter and we're missing each other."
Kanan had to push himself up to sitting correctly so he could look at her. "You guys don't really have much drama between you, do you?"
"Drama is good and all but it's way more convenient to just be rational adults about it." Sabine shrugged. "I mean come on, who wants to relive soap opera loops?"
Kanan made a face. "I see your point."
"Oh and if you see Ezra next loop tell him I'd like five more loops added on. I'm still aggravated with him for whatever reason."
Kanan snorted. "Sure, I'll tell him that…"

:Spectre-4 to Ghost.: An Awake Zeb said over the communicator.
"Go ahead, Spectre-4." An unAwake Kanan replied.
:Right. Well, we're a couple of minutes out and we've had a bit of a problem.:
"I thought you might. Look, don't worry about the meilooruns."
Awake Ezra joined in :Yeah, meilooruns. Uh, we found some. But we lost them. Then we found them again. But we smashed them.:
:Just cut to the chase, kid.: Zeb interjected.
Kanan realized that the sounds in the background sounded like… but it couldn't be.
"Wait! What am I hearing? It sounds like -"
:Yeah, about that. See, um well. We stole a TIE fighter. Well we actually stole a bunch of them.:
"You what?" Kanan realized that the noise he could hear through the communicator, he could hear on the edge of his own perception. He got up and ran to the roof access.
:He's taking it better than I thought.:
Kanan pushed through the access hatch. He stared open eyed at the twenty TIE fighters flying in formation towards the Ghost.
"So can we keep them?" He heard Ezra say.
:Spectre-4 to Ghost.:
Cautiously, remembering the odd events that seemed to happen at this point, Kanan replied. "Go ahead Spectre-4."
:Right. Well, we're a couple of minutes out and… well… I don't even know.:
:It's not my fault!: Ezra yelled.
"Ezra, what did you do?" The looper asked with narrowed eyes.
:Uh… nothing?:
Kanan sighed wearily and left to look outside.
"What in the name of..?" He blinked and tilted his head, horror quickly filling his face. "EZRA!"
"I know right!" The Anchor shook his head from the top of the… head. "Who knew the Empire was replacing TIE Fighters with Gunmen this loop?"
"This is somehow Kallus's fault!" Kanan yelled back at him before going inside to warn Hera that the Ghost was suddenly about to become very very outdated in technology. And also to find Ezra's tablet and send Kallus a very angry email.
"So… we can keep it, right?" Ezra asked unsurely.
"I still don't know what the hell 'it' is." An exasperated NonAwake Zeb groaned from the inside of the Gunmen.

Kanan realized that the sounds in the background sounded like… but it couldn't be.
"Wait! What am I hearing? It sounds like-"
:Yeah, about that. See, um well. Well it would be easier for you to see with your own eyes if you head out to the roof.:
Kanan realized that the Ghost was starting to vibrate slightly. He ran towards the roof access. Kanan stood on the Ghost and stared open eyed at the Star Destroyer hovering overhead.
"So can we keep it?" He heard Ezra say.

"Ezra?"
"Yes Kanan?"
"Why are you doing this? I mean I heard from Zeb the jokes you've played with this routine, but I'm Awake this time so it's not going to get a reaction from me."
"I know that you're awake Kanan, so are Zeb and Chopper, but Hera isn't and don't you want her reaction?"
Kanan thought about this while studying the two/twenty tons of meilooruns that had been piled outside the Ghost. He smiled.
"I don't know how you got all of these but you're on. Make sure to take a recording of her expression."
"Already planning on it."

"Wait… what?" Ezra raised an eyebrow at the looper.
"Yeah… you didn't know?" The vertically challenged blonde raised one back. "He looped in a long time ago."
Ezra rubbed his forehead. "You know, this explains… a lot. You're saying he replaced your brother?"
"Yup. Ya know now it makes sense why he was so comfortable being a suit of armor. And thanks to that algorithm he worked out Al's able to turn into an organic again if he wants to, at the least."
"Not human?" Ezra wondered.
Edward Elric shook his head. "No, Truth took his human body as payment for our… baseline mistake. Thanks to that he isn't 'allowed' to create his own human body or something like that. Truth's a stickler for 'rules'."
"Well what does he turn into if not a human?" Ezra asked politely. "I can't think of any nonhuman sentient creatures in your loop other than homunculi. Then again when I replaced you nobody else was Awake and all my friends were replacing yours. Pretty sure it didn't go baseline."
Ed snorted. "You're telling me that story later. Al's gotten pretty comfortable in his armor since baseline so sometimes he just sticks with it. But otherwise he tries out different things." He snickered. "Should've seen Roy's face when he spent the whole loop as a shapeshifting Charmander." Ezra joined him in snickering.
"Wait…" Ezra blinked. "Technically by the rules of your loop's alchemy it's impossible to take the materials in a suit of armor and turn it into organic material."
"Did I forget to mention he added Looney Tunes logic to it?" Edward smirked. "Sometimes it won't work though and he just stays as the armor the whole loop."
Ezra rubbed his forehead. "Chopper knows Looney Tunes logic? Should've seen that one coming…"

*numair went nuts with these and it was awesome. I only added one of my own.
*Sometimes you can't help but feel the teeniest tiniest smidgen of pity for the Inquisitor, but then you remember his jerkness and feel happy.
20.2
*Yay, Kanan's side to Kanera in the loops! Yep, Kanan's a total sucker.
20.3
*Again numair did a ton of awesomeness and I only added one. -w-
*Kanan is lucky he doesn't have to be Awake through a lot of the stuff his team does.
20.4
*Chopper has many many talents he keeps hidden from the rest of the loopers in order to cause more chaos.
*This was mentioned in the Q & A chapter but not really elaborated on HOW so I just wanted to play with it.
I really hope you guys enjoyed! Please Read, Review, and ask questions!
