IV. VII Harry Leferts

For untold eons, Sharpteeth ruled the land. Their dominance uncontested. On the land, in the sea, and in the sky. None could match them. But now, that dominance was being challenged. Even the Sharpteeth knew a new danger had arrived that would see them threatened...

Fliers in VF-1 Valkyries!

Going into a barrel roll, Petrie whooped in joy as he buzzed a Sharptooth and sent it scrambling for shelter. "Whoo-hooooo! Me like this type of flying so much!" Switching to Guardian, he flicked the nose of a Tyrannosaurus Rex as he zoomed past. "Ha!"

Watching him as he pulled off various stunts, Ducky clapped her hands together and nodded. "This is so very much cool! Yup! Yup! Yup!"

Cera just rolled her eyes at it before she shook her head with a sigh. "This is so freaking stupid."

Beside her, Littlefoot's lips twitched as he watched Cera shuffle a bit to the side from Ducky's glare. "I only got one issue with this really..." Seeing the looks, Littlefoot was about to continue when Spike brought out a stereo and began to play "Danger Zone" on it. "Never mind, Spike's fixed it. now it's perfect."

Groaning, Cera placed one paw over her eyes. "Nerds... Littlefoot you and Spike are such nerds..."

The Nanosaur frowned as itself in another battle when Waking up.

Holding one egg in a claw, and his fusion blaster in the other, he glared at his opponent.

Standing across of him was another of the looping velociraptors, growling angrily at him.

"If you want to take that egg away, you will need to beat me, you whelp." The raptor snarled out, holding its red lightsaber tightly in its claw.

Growling back in defiance as he had yet to master proper basic speech of these loops and this raptor refused to acknowledge his language, he shifted the egg around so he could make a universal gesture.

With an inward wave of his left claws, Velocious's angry snarl changed to a grin of satisfaction as the Sith raced towards towards him.

A low sweep of his lightsaber failed to topple the Nanosaur due to his jetpack saving his life once again.

"Finally," the raptor below him laughed out in a dark tone. "A worthy fight!"

The Nanosaur had to agree with his foe, as he landed across of the Sith, placing the egg into his pocket. Charging his gun up, he knew that this was going to be a glorious fight!

With a feral cry, the two male velociraptors raced forwards to crash into each other, the jungle going quiet as a fearsome battle had just begun.

Roxanne blinked as Owen sat down heavily at a empty table in the currently unopen Valhalla Bar and Grill. "Rough loop... And did you steal Chica's key again?"

Owen groaned loudly. "Shut the fuck up."

Roxanne blinked dumping the dough she was working on into a bowl and covering it to rise. Thinking a moment, she lifted the lid on a freshly made Red Velvet cake, she cut two generous portions and sat with them pushing one towards Owen "Talk."

Owen looked up glancing at the cake to the humanized Rex. "... Seriously?"

She shrugged eating a spoonful "I'm a social drinker, that time you saw me drowning my sorrows over the baby Indominus was pretty much the only time I've done it, I like eating my sorrows away. Come on Chica worked hard on it."

"Piss off." Roxanne gave him a un-amused look.

"Do I need to do the squeaky roar?"

"..." Owen sighed taking a bite "... Titan Indomini in the Walled World."

"...Well fuck."

IV. IX Harry Leferts

Looking at the Reaper armada surrounding Earth in this fusion, Shepard watched Littlefoot through a screen. Said looper was currently a human who was the captain of the ship the JP and TLBT Loopers were on, a "Macross Quarter Frontier", as around them battle raged. "Any way to get through there?"

For a moment, Littlefoot frowned before he leaned forward in his chair. "Remember the last time we went through something like this guys?" It took the rest of the TLBT loopers a moment, but then they grinned and nodded. "Prepare! For Big Wednesday Formation!"

Letting out a whistle, Cera's grin widened as she reached up and tightened her bandana. "Okay..."

With a blink, Jess, who was beside her turned to the normally non-human. "Big Wednesday Formation? What's thaa-!"

Suddenly holes opened up in the floor and padded claws gripped Jess and Cera. Then Cera reached forward and gripped the control sticks in front of her as in the engine room, mixed engineering crew watched as the reactors began to glow as power increased and gathered. With a barely heard whine, the gun that made up one "Arm" of the ship opened into a three-prog formation as energy leapt between them and light gathered. Nodding with a grunt, Littlefoot chuckled. "All ships follow us... Now Fire!"

A massive beam shot out from the gun and ripped through the Reapers, opening a hole that the ship followed through while around them sparks flew from the beam's remnants the explosions in it's path. Shots fired at them either missed or glanced off their barriers. Following them, Joker blinked as he saw them land into a disabled Reaper with the humanoid ship going to to a prone position on the hull. "So that's their plan... That's-!"

Petrie nodded as he grinned. "Engines at full strength!"

Said engines on both the legs and back lit up as they went to redline and began to push the crippled Reaper onto the atmosphere. Not even a few seconds later, the Reaper's underside began to glow white hot from re-entry as pieces flew off, but despite flinching against the light, they were unharmed.

Now fully aware of the threat, the Reapers focused on the Frontier and began to fire at it. However, they only hit their dying fellow. Due to their focus though, the landing forces were mostly ignored. Hearing a stomp, the bridge crew of gathered loopers looked to see Littlefoot stand up and then get into a surfing pose as he shouted. "Everyone, ride the wave!"

As if following his movements, the Frontier stood up and began using the Reaper beneath it as a giant surfboard as they flew through the atmosphere down toward the ground. Jess laughed as around them, chunks of Reaper blew off and the CWIS took care of any Reaper Drones. "Okay, this is beyond fucking awesome! We're in a giant robot spaceship surfing on top of a Reaper through re-entry and anti-orbital fire! I love my life!"

Meanwhile, Littlefoot just chuckled as his movements were matched by the ship's. "That's right! Ride those big waves!"

On the ignored Normandy, Shepard only shook his head as he laughed softly...

21.3 Sonic Raynboom

The Nanosaur was very confused. Why was he an... Oviraptor?

Hmm... no matter. Time to steal some eggs.

0o0o0o

The Nanosaur finished relaying his story to everyone at the juice bar.

Everyone who knew what Oviraptor meant facepalmed.

IV. X Harry Leferts

Petrie gritted his teeth as he threw his variable fighter into a series of aerial maneuvers in order to avoid the veritable missile swarm that the AI controlled Ghost Fighter sent toward him. 'Me not wanting to do this, but...' With a thought, he switched off the limiters on the YF-21's systems. For most fighters, they were there to protect the fighter itself by not letting it pull off things that would overstrain the airframe. For most fighters...

Not in the case of a highly advanced and powerful fighter as the YF-21 though. Said limiters were needed for the pilot as it at full capabilities were able to kill them due to not having anything like an inertial dampner...

Dodging several energy beams, Petrie gritted his teeth as he fought the G-Forces. "Isamu... take care... of Myung... I'm sorry..." Even as he heard shouts over his coms, he transformed his fighter into battloid and twisted, putting his body through several hundred Gs alone as he concentrated. After all, with the Brain Control System and the Brain Direct Imaging, he didn't needphysical controls or to look outside the cockpit. Not when everything was running through his brain. 'Let's see how you like me now...'

The Looper managed to block a number of shots from the Ghost's beam cannon with the Pin-point Barriers on his battloid's arms before they shattered, and the arms were blasted off followed by its legs. As he began to fall, Petrie closed his eyes and calmed himself. Then they shot open into a glare as he smirked. Parts blasted off the vehicle as it transformed back into fighter mode, the damage too great for it to transform ever again. Grunting, Petrie turned his engines to max and the fighter accelerated from falling backwards to more the Mach 4 in a few seconds. 'Relax... remember how you've piloted before... Me and you...'

Both of them, AI controlled fighter drone and brain controlled advanced fighter, dueled in the skies above Earth, each pushing their machines to the max. Seeing the dozens of missiles heading his way, Petrie just reacted, and his fighter obeyed. Despite being extremely high speed and maneuverable missiles, they kept missing as Petrie dodged them. At one point he literally flipped his fighter 180 degrees at more than Mach 6, putting himself through not hundreds, but thousands of Gs, though he did pay for it. After all, he felt something break and give way. 'There... goes... rib...'

While the edges of their airframes began to glow red and the paint began to burn off from the friction, Petrie continued on his mission to take down the drone. 'No... weapons... heh...' Unable to even open his eyes, Petrie had to rely on the cameras built into the fighter and its sensor system. Twisting and turning with his fighter, Petrie fought as the distance between the two combatants grew ever closer. Vein's bulging, the Looper grinned against the forces that whipped his body every which way. 'Got... you...'

A moment later, one of his wings literally sliced through the "Cockpit" of the Ghost Fighter which contained the computer. As it detonated behind him, Petrie's now crippled fighter continued to shoot out of the atmosphere as he coughed up some blood and groaned. 'Me lucky to be so tough... and not pocket locked...' If he had opened his eyes, he would have seen the shattered remains of the cockpit around him and the stars as he left the atmosphere behind. But with how much every part of his body was in pain with broken bones and other injuries from the forces it had gone through, Petrie only rested and a few minutes later, the Loop ended thankfully...

"Bacon. That's bacon. Are you trying to poison me?" the Eleventh Doctor asked, giving the waiter a disgusted look. "Fish fingers and custard for me, thanks."

"And people say I have weird taste," Roxy grumbled, enjoying her goat.

V. I Harry Leferts

Leman glared up at the disguised female tech-priest above him as he strained against his bonds. "When I get out of here, you Warp-forsaken witch, I will make you wish that you had never crossed me! Do you hear me!"

Chuckling, the female ran one hand across the chest plate of Leman's power armor and shook her head. "But, Brother, that is only if you manage to find me first. A task that you and our siblings have failed at time and again." Then she sighed as thoughts connected in Leman's head as she removed various things that showed her to be a Tech-Priest. "True, it has become far too easy to infiltrate your Legions and elsewhere for those of mine."

Dumbstruck, Leman looked up at her with a paling face as he fully connected the dots. "No... it can't be... it's not possible!"

Once more, the female chuckled as she leaned down and whispered into his ear. "Come now, Brother. Did you not ever consider at all that if our Father is able to become a woman whenever and as he wishes, that his Sons could not figure out a way themselves? Now then..." A Warp portal opened up beside her and she walked in with a laugh. "I shall take my leave of you, Brother. Perhaps next time you might be a bit more observant and makes things a bit more fun for me. For now, though, this is goodbye." Then she stepped through just as other Space Marines burst down the door to rescue their Lord. Hundreds of miles away, the woman exited the portal and took off the rest of her clothes to reveal a human Ducky who grinned as the portal closed behind her. "That was fun! Yup! Yup! Yup!"

Then she held one hand up to her ear and listened. Several minutes later a shout that shook the snow from the trees could be heard which was in Leman's voice. "ALPHARIUS!"

Nodding, Ducky skipped another open Warp portal and she giggled. "Lotsa fun! Time to prank one of the others now!"

Even by the end of the loop, none of them had figured out that they had been pranked by another Looper...

21.5 Vinylshadow

Owen stood with his raptors, watching the scene in front of them unfold in amusement.

The Indominus Rex, which usually caused many a headache among the Jurassic Loopers was currently fleeing for its life, missing chunks from its tail and one arm was a bloody stump.

Running along after it was a man in a hoodie and leather jacket.

"Come on, Dom, I just want to play!" he called, his hands razor sharp claws that he swiped at its legs as he darted around the monster.

"Not gonna lie. I'm a little envious," Owen said, much to the amusement of his squad.

21.6 Harry Leferts

"Hello, dad."

Scowling, the man slowly turned as he yelled. "You do not take that tone with... me?"

As Hammond's son-in-law slowly trailed off, his face paled at the sight that met him. There, on top of a massive T-Rex whose jaws were scant inches from his face, was Tim and Lex. Both siblings grinned as they waved at him. "Hey, dad, have you met Roxy yet?"

Lex slowly nodded as her eyes twinkled in unholy glee. "We've told her all about you."

Now deathly pale, their father glanced at both his children and then at the glaring Rex. For all his 'Manliness', his voice came out as a squeak. "Everything?"

A grin grew on Roxanne's face as she leaned even closer. "Everything."

Several minutes later, Roxanne was walking away as on her back Lex and Tim were nearly falling off from laughter. His face red, Tim looked toward his sister. "Did you see his face?! That was priceless!"

While she shook her head, Lex brought her laughter under control. "And he also wet himself!"

There was silence between her and Tim as they looked at each other before they burst out laughing all over again. Roxanne merely waited as she continued to walk through the woods as she ignored the sounds of someone running in the opposite direction. "So... Who's next?"

Sharing a look, the two siblings grinned and held up one finger. "Uncle Peter!"

V. II Harry Leferts

It had been a rather quiet baseline so far, though Cera knew there was something wrong and gave Littlefoot a slight glare. "What did you do...?"

With a slightly nervous laugh, Littlefoot glanced around. "What makes you think that I did something? Heh..."

Now it was Ducky's turn to shake her head before she wagged a finger at him. "You have been acting very guilty lately when we talk about what we heard from other Loopers. Uh-huh."

For several seconds, Littlefoot chewed the inside of his cheek before he sighed. "You know how for some odd reason, Ian looped in here for a few loops in a row and kept up with his Ping experiments? To see if they would work in another branch of the Tree?" There were nods from them all. "Well... The last Loop was a Bar Loop. And you know how that one Chaos Primarch kept saying things about our Baseline that we got angry at? And this was after a really bad Loop?"

Her eyes narrowing in suspicion, Cera nodded. "Yes... Wait, what did you do, Littlefoot?!"

Once more guilty looking, Littlefoot scuffed a paw into the sand. "Well... I kind of, maybe, possibly told Ian that if he was ever in the Dark Millennium Loops, that he should throw lots of pink paint on any Orks he meets..."

The rest of the TLBT Loopers were confused about why he was guilty outside of Cera. Said three horn had been looping for much longer and so paled at Littlefoot's words. "Littlefoot... I say this as your very best friend... You better hope that they have time to calm down if they ever find out it was you who told him that..."

Nodding, Littlefoot gulped. "I know... Though I'll be giving all the Dark Millennium Loopers free drinks at our bar for quite some time just the same..."

That caused Petrie to blink as he scratched his head. "Not Ian?"

Cera and Littlefoot shared a look before they said the same thing at the same time. Even their tones were the same. "Ian deserves what will happen to him."

Fenrir sighed as he glanced over at where Artemis sat as the goddess looked at him. "You seem to be looking better."

A nod came from him as he bit into a steak, a glance telling him his girlfriend was walking toward them with their drinks. "I am. Hopefully my Loopers won't give Skuld too much trouble."

Snorting, Ardwinna shook her head. "Doubtful. Though we just had Ian loop into the Dark Millennium Branch, so she might have to deal with his Ping experiments..."

21.7 Harry Leferts

Leaning back interested his seat, the currently adult Eric picked at his blue suit before he glanced up at Littlefoot. Said long neck was human as well, but older then Eric with a partial beard, cybernetic arm, and a piece of metal that curved along one of his eyesockets. "Let me get this straight, Littlefoot... We're bounty hunters in space..."

As he nodded, Littlefoot paid half an ear to the television which showed two people dressed up as Cowboys, though he noted that the outfit the female of the two wore was something that would not fit in the Wild West. "Pretty much. Been through this loop before and it can get fun." Seeing the raised eyebrow, Littlefoot chuckled. "Guns, jazz, explosions, and generally crazy stuff. You'll like your personal ship by the way."

Just then, Lex swung down and hung by them upside down, her white tank top somehow not slipping. There was a massive grin on her face and two blushes on her cheeks. "I know that I'm already loving this! I got so many new ideas for programming and hacking from my loop memories it's not funny! And I am so keeping this computer rig when we loop out!"

A laugh could be heard before an adult Jess walked in and flipped into a seat in a provocative pose, which was helped by her clothes which had a latex halter top. "I'm just loving this loop because I'm an adult to start off with!" Pulling a cigarette from somewhere, she lit it and puffed some. "Could do without a whole chunk of loop memories missing though."

Turning away from her with a blush, Eric's gaze turned to the TV from which he turned away from as the female anchor for the show bounced. "Er... How's Charlie doing?"

Lex glanced at the greenish corgi who looked up and shrugged. "It's not so bad... Besides, I can hack as well!"

Nodding, Littlefoot chuckled. "Well, you are a data dog..."

While he tried not to look at Jess, Eric sighed and turned back to Littlefoot. "So... What are going to do first?"

The usually dinosaur looper grinned. "What else? We're going to make some money bounty hunting."

On screen the show finished with the announcers calling out. "See you around, space cowboys!"

21.8 Harry Leferts

Giving himself a once over as him and his girlfriend stood before a large set of doors, Fenrir nodded with a relieved sigh. "At least I'm not a puppy this time..."

A hand laid itself between his ears and he glanced over at Marianne who rubbed his ears as she shifted her red hood. "Mmm... that would have complicated some things I have planned." She ignored the soft whine from the massive wolf as she looked around the grounds and nodded at both it and the large doors. "Rather tasteful."

While he nodded, Fenrir looked at the doors and raised an eyebrow as he examined them. The two sets of doors had a massive tree embossed onto them with its branches reaching out to the side and down. Eventually, they reached down to where the roots were and seemingly entangled with them to where one could not tell where the branches ended, and the roots began. Below that was the symbol for infinity. "Hmm... I like so far..."

Reaching out with a paw, he pushed the doors and they opened to a massive lobby which both him and Marianne entered and looked around. The sound of booms though caused them to look up as a T-Rex walked over to where they were before it cleared its throat. "Hello, I'm Roxanne Hammond, owner and proprietor of Mobius Inn. I'm guessing that you're the guests that Artemis, Ardwinna, and Mitra told us to expect?"

There was a soft smile on Marianne's face as she stepped forward and took the hand of the T-Rex. "That would be us. I'm Marianne Columbia and this is my boyfriend, Fenrir Lokison... he's the one who this was set up for."

Once she shook the paw of the large wolf, Roxanne reached into her pocket and pulled out what looked like two cards and a brochure. "These are your Admin Passes, they'll grant you access anywhere in the Inn for free. Inside the brochure you'll find the various spots and attractions we have here in the inn. Also included is a map so you will be able to find the various spots."

Seeing the somewhat nervous expression, Fenrir snorted. "Just relax, we don't bite."

Her lips twitching, Marianne's whisper caused Fenrir to flatten his ears as he tried to hide how red they were. "Or at least not where anyone could see..."

Coughing to cover it, and not having seen the twinkle in Roxanne's eyes, Fenrir glanced around. "Right, right..." Then he smelt something and blinked as he looked at a store. "I smell coffee..."

Roxanne glanced in the direction he was looking in and nodded a bit. "That would be Triassic Tea and Coffee, it's run by the Raptor Squad which they do a rather good job of... across the lobby from them you'll find Jurassic Juice and Smoothie Bar, run by the Loopers from The Land Before Time branch."

After a moment, Fenrir looked up at Marianne who laughed at him. "Okay... but remember, just decaff."

However, when they entered both of them raised an eyebrow at the four Raptors. Two of them wore kimonos and the other two wore Barrista outfits. Then Roxanne coughed. "Girls... bring out the coffee engine for our guests. Decaff, please."

For a moment, one of the Barrista Raptors had wide eyes before she nodded and saluted. "Will do!" She then hopped over the counter and disappeared. Moments later there was a whirling and clanking sound as a massive piece of machinery slowly rose up. It was covered in various pressure vessels, whistles, dials, and valves. In several, brown liquid burbled and bubbled before suddenly the whistles on top screamed out steam and the Raptor from before, who had blue markings on her, held a cup underneath one of the taps. "Coffee's done!"

A rich, brown liquid poured from it and into the cup which she handed to Fenrir who took it. With a frown, he sniffed it. "Hmm... Excellent aroma..."

And then he took a sip and his eyes widened. For some odd reason he found himself floating above a majestic mountain range watching the sun rise as heavenly choirs sang and played beautiful music. In the real world, Marianne leaned down to look into her boyfriend's eyes and smirked as she found them full of actual stars as a tear slipped out. "Fenrir?"

Snapping out of it, he looked at his coffee and gasped. "It... it's perfect! I can the combined flavors that make coffee what it is! And yet, I am able to discern each flavor separately! And the way it clings to the cup is as atheistically pleasing as the way it flows over one's taste buds! This... this is truly the coffee of the gods!"

While he continued to gush, Marianne raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Raptor who she now recognized as Blue. Said Raptor just shrugged. "That's the usual reaction we get from those Loopers who decide to go that extra mile for payment to get some. The non-decaf gets an even bigger reaction."

Suddenly, she found a cup shoved out by Marianne. "I think that I would like to try the non-decaf, please..."

Both deities took sips from their coffees and shuddered as they walked behind a grumbling and lugage ladden Ian Malcom before he set their items down before a large wooden door. "Finally, here we are, the Admin Suite."

Placing the card into the lock, Marianne and Fenrir heard a click and opened the door before they entered, Ian behind them once more with their luggage. As he looked around, his claws clacking on the stone floor, Fenrir nodded. "Now this is what I call a suite..."

Marianne however just walked over to one door and threw it open as she looked inside with wide eyes. "Look at this bathroom! It's enormous!"

With an interested look, Fenrir looked in and around before he nodded. "Looks like they took some ideas from the Head Boy's and Head Girl's bathroom at Hogwarts and took ideas from others." They then shared a look before they walked over to the massive bed and fell onto it, both grinning at the softness. "Feels like I'm on clouds..."

Their attention was caught by a chuckle and turned to see Roxanne poke her head in. "You should, that's an Equestrian Cloud Mattress with Pegasus down comforters." She was slightly nervous as she cleared her throat. "I, uh, hope that it's up to your standards... we've never had an Admin here."

Staring at her, Fenrir laughed. "Are you kidding me!? This is beyond my standards!"

Beside him, his girlfriend hummed a bit before she reached out with a grin and ran her fingers through his chest fur. "Mmm... this is a wonderful suite..." Then she leaned in and whispered into his ears. "And I can't wait to try out the bed later..."

His tail thumping, Fenrir only nodded in agreement, not trusting his voice as images began to run through his mind...

After Fenrir pulled out her seat, Marianne sat down and once he pushed it in, watched as he sat down as well. Soon after, Roxanne walked up and handed them some menus which the two looked through. However, while Marianne quickly chose hers, Fenrir could only frown for several minutes before he sighed and put it down. "I can't decide... what would be the largest meat dish that you have?"

Roxanne hummed in thought before she slowly nodded. "That would be the Broome Titanosaur ribs and steak. It's a meal only for the largest and most hungry of carnivores."

Placing the menu down, Fenrir licked his chops at the thought. "I think that I'll try that..." After a moment, he continued. "With a side order of those meat potatoes..."

With a smile, Roxanne took both menus and once they placed their orders, she nodded. "It'll be a bit for your meals. In the meantime, I'll have your drinks delivered post haste as well as the appetizers."

Once those were delivered, Marianne reached out and gently grasped his paws in her hands. "You feeling any more relaxed yet?"

If it had been anyone else, he might have been rather gruff. But all the wolf god could feel was a warmth in his chest and thankfulness that he had met her, and they were together. "I'm more relaxed then I have been for a while." Closing his eyes, he leaned toward her and the two shared a soft kiss before they pulled apart. "I still don't understand what I did to earn meeting you..."

A soft laugh that had never ceased to make his heart leap left Marianne's lips before she nuzzled him. "You just being you."

The two just softly chatted as they listened to the music in the Valhalla Restaurant. Eventually, Chica arrived with Marianne's meal which the goddess took gratefully. It was then that they both noticed something which caused them to share a look. "Marianne..." Seeing her nod, Fenrir raised an eyebrow. "Did our table widen quite a bit and the room get larger?"

With a slight frown, Marianne nodded. "It certainly seems that way..." Then her eyes widened as she spotted something coming toward them. "Oh... my..."

Confused, Fenrir turned to look in the same direction and felt his jaws drop. Mainly because there was Roxy walking toward them using her Force powers to carry a massive plate. On that plate was the largest steak that Fenrir had ever seen along with ribs that dwarfed the Rex that was carrying the plate. Then the smell hit him and began to salivate. "By the Tree... that... so beautiful..."

Setting it down, Roxanne let out a soft breath. "And here's your order, Valhalla's Broome Titanosaur Steak and Ribs. Done Rare just like you asked with only enough seared for the restaurant's special steak sauce and unique mix of herbs and spices from all over the restaurant. Enjoy."

As she walked away, Fenrir nodded. "I will... I will..." He glanced at Marianne who only giggled and nodded before he grew to a size of a small Kaiju and pulled out some utensils. "Finally... a meal that should fill even me!"

While she shook her head, Marianne giggled at the sounds of enjoyment from the monster wolf as he began to dig in and turned to her own meal. Moments later, she started letting out sounds as well due to enjoying what thousands of years of cooking experience can give a group of master chefs...

Enjoying the rub down after their shower, Fenrir smiled as he gave Marianne a lick on the cheek which caused her to laugh. A few minutes later, he turned toward the door though as he heard a knock and watched as Marianne let in one of her loopers. It took him a moment to place who it was though. 'Hmm...Jaune Arc? Why would she invite him here?'

There was a smile on Marianne's face as she gestured him onto the bed. "I know that you're curious why one of my loopers is here..."

His eyebrow raised, Fenrir softly chuckled as he got up onto the bed. "The thought did cross my mind..."

Sitting down next to where he laid, Marianne nodded. "Well, he's one of the best masseuses among the loopers so I thought it might help you relax."

With a nod, Jaune cracked his knuckles. "My student is getting pretty good, but she's not there yet." Having seen the curious look that Marianne gave him, the Hunter of Grimm shrugged. "Tekeli-chan asked for some lessons and she's gotten pretty good at it. Anyways... time to begin."

About a half hour later, where Fenrir laid was now a puddle of utterly relaxed wolf which had Marianne stroking his head before she turned to Jaune. "Thank you for this... I'll do my best to set up some loops the way you want as payment." There was a smile on Jaune's face as he left, and once the door was closed, Marianne locked it. Walking to the bed, she shed her outer clothes and got in beside the dozing Fenrir and held him close. "Feeling relaxed yet?"

Slowly, he nodded as he sighed into her embrace. "Very much so, thanks..." His eyes slowly closed as he cracked his jaws open in a yawn. "So... rry... can barely... keep... my eyes... open..."

There was a smile on his girlfriend's face as she leaned down and kissed him on his forehead. "Then don't. Just relax, I'll stay here and be with you when you wake up, love." Marianne stroked the side of his muzzle as he let sleep claim him. Happy, she watched as all his worries and burdens seemed to melt away as he drifted off. For nearly an hour she laid there just running her fingers through his fur before she snuggled in and drifted off to sleep as well...

21.9 wildrook

When Eric Awakened, he usually expected a Spinosaur to show up where he landed. Instead, a feathered dino man had managed to step in and save him, which brought in a curve-ball in his plan.

"Are you okay?" the feathered man asked him.

"Puzzled and Loopy," Eric replied, "but I'm unharmed. Still, this is new to me."

He then looked at the being in question and wondered what kind of fossil they used to make him.

"As much as I would like to discuss what happened," the bird replied, "we must find someplace safe to hide."

Eric nodded. "I know a place," he said. "Come on."

They ran towards the bunker, narrowly avoiding the dinos in the area.

"We should be safe for now," Eric replied. "I use this place as a hideout in order to rest, but the compies tend to sneak in from time to time. Now, I take it you're not from here?"

"If you mean here as in this Branch," Torin replied, "then yes, I am not from this island. And they're not the dinosaurs I'm familiar with 65 Million Years ago."

Eric noticed the confused look on Torin's face and elaborated. "Probably because they're genetically engineered by a company that wanted to make a dinosaur theme park. Until Dobson decided to pull a corporate espionage job with Nedry and a few others and stole a bunch of embryos."

"I see...so they're not the ones I'm familiar with." Torin nodded. "Still, to clone a dinosaur...that sounds impossible to begin with."

"That's not the craziest thing we've encountered, either. For me, I tend to encounter Spinosaurs even when they're not native to the Loop in question. It's like I'm a magnet for them." He then looked at Torin. "You guys have a Spinosaur, don't you?"

Torin looked stone-faced, but nodded. "Tabospino, to be exact," he replied. "Which brings me to why I'm here..." Bringing out a GabuRevolver and four navy batteries. "Usually, this was used by an agent of Deboss known as Deathryuger, but you've walked with Dinosaurs longer than even King. Much to our surprise, Tabospino requested for you to be his partner whenever you visited."

"Even in a Fused Loop," Eric replied. "Still, if he was controlled by someone evil, why choose me?"

Before they could answer, an explosion was heard as they ran outside, seeing a monster with Zorima following.

"Well, isn't this a surprise," the monster replied, looking like a cross between a Spinosaurus and a hunter, or specifically, a Deboss Hunter resembling Muldoon. "I came here to destroy both Islands, and now I face off with Torin..."

"Even the monsters look like Spinos," Eric muttered, face-palming.

"What was that!?" the hunter yelled, firing at them as they dodged. "I may not be Deathryuger, but I, Hunterspine, am tasked with the job of exterminating the Dino Reserves. Zorima, attack!"

Torin growled as the Zorima charged. "Eric, this is why Tabospino trusted me with finding you," he said. "Because whenever the Kyoryugers aren't there, someone has to defend them in their place."

Eric got the idea. "So, you're trusting a kid who's been hiding from dinosaurs and is a Spinosaur magnet with a Super Prototype," he said. "Grant and the others are not going to believe this..."

He then ducked an incoming attack as Torin brought out his Gaburevolver, shooting a few Zorima in the process. "So, do you accept?" he asked Eric.

"As long as the others get the message." Eric brought out the Gaburevolver as he shot a few Zorima, glaring at Debo Hunterspine. "But as terrifying as they are, these Deboss guys seem even worse. I'm in."

"So, you were recruiting," Hunterspine said. "Well, too bad, because Tabospino's going to be Deathryuger's after a while!"

That's when the ground had rumbled, revealing the Spino Kyoryu vehicle in question as it burst through Hunterspine's Zormin forces, growling.

Eric knew that was coming, but he had to make sure that they didn't capture the thing for this Deathryuger guy.

They then made eye contact, almost in understanding as Eric stepped to the plate, the GabuRevolver glowing as he looked at the hunter. "Attacking an island full of Dinosaurs for an army by yourself is suicidal at best," he said, "but it's not them you have to fear." He then brought out one of the navy batteries that had 00 on it and pressed the button. "BRAVE IN!"

He then inserted said battery into the gun and pressed down onto the revolver.

GABURINCHO! TOBASPINO!

"Kyoryu Change!" Eric yelled, before the samba music had shown up, giving Eric a strange look at first before shaking his head. "Fire!"

As he fired at the hunter, the image of Tabospino had not only hit Hunterspine, but went towards Eric, before taking a chomp and suiting him up in a navy suit, adding the helmet resembling a Spinosaur.

"A Kyoryuger!?" Debo Hunterspine yelled. "Here!?"

"If that's the case," Eric said, "then call me the Spined Brave, KyoryuNavy."

"BRAVE IN!" Torin yelled, inserting his own silver battery into his GabuRevolver.

GIGA GABURINCHO! BRAGIGAS!

"KYORYU CHANGE!" Torin yelled, as he danced a bit before firing and changing into KyoryuSilver. "I wouldn't be joining in if I didn't have business here, so let's do this."

Eric nodded as he and Torin charged at Debo Hunterspine, who had been enraged at the two in question.

Sith Lord Revan looked around himself and sighed heavily as he Woke up.

"Now, now Revan," Darth Mandy looked at him in a frighteningly peaceful way. "This is a neutral place for us Sith Lords loopers to talk. Isn't that right Darth Velocius?"

The Velociraptor cried out in agreement, nodding his head. The rabbit next to the dinosaur nodded his own head, biting down on a carrot as he glared at the group.

"Remind me why I am even here with you lot?" Revan rubbed his face, wondering how he had annoyed Nut this time.

"Because we need someone as our fourth, and it was either you or Pinkie Pie." Mandy glared at him. "And I figured that with you, we'd be left alone from the Admins and that the other loopers wouldn't bother us that much because they'd be trying to find out who the fourth member of group is to convince them to betray us. This way, people can begin to see your existence is real and you get to be a greater hero." Mandy then smirked. "You in for some evil across this galaxy?"

Revan shrugged his shoulders and sighed. "Might as well, I don't have anything better to do."

Petrie Awoke to find himself in a small dragon's body. Twisting his head, he noted he had wings and let out a sigh of relief. After examining his Loop memories, he slowly nodded. Just as he thought, he was a dragon. The full story was in his memories.

Many centuries ago, humans and dragons had lived beside one another. The dragons would often help their human friends and neighbors with their magic. But then, humans started to ask more and more of dragons. Not wanting this, dragons fled into the wilderness. However, after centuries humans began encroaching upon their last lairs. So, dragons began to disguise themselves as humans and live among them. In fact, they hid all signs. Then Petrie's mind turned toward the more recent memories. 'Hmm... Me an American dragon and am living with cousins in South Korea, in particular my cousin-'

His mind screeched to a halt.'... Cousin who's a dragon in hiding goes by the name "Dragon Kim"... What?' Shaking it off, Petrie frowned as he left the room in human form. 'Me sure that it's not too much of a problem, right?' Walking past his cousin, who sat in front of a computer as a dragon next to the human from next door. Petrie was about to grab a drink when that registered, and his head whipped around. "Eh?! What are you doing?!"

Blinking slowly, Dragon Kim looked over his shoulder. "Hmm? I'm playing games, why?" He then pointed at the screen. "See?"

That only caused Petrie to stare at him with disbelief before he pointed at the person beside him. "Me mean why are you in your true form with a human beside you!? We're supposed to be hiding from them!"

With a hum, Dragon Kim pointed toward the person. "Oh, right, this is Woo-Hyuk Choi. He lives next door to me." Then the dragon turned back to his game as his neighbor waved. "Anyways... it's no big deal. After all there's also..."

As he listed off a number of names of other humans who know, Petrie's eyebrow began to twitch. 'That does not make it better!'

Then with a nod, Dragon Kim laughed. "Besides, it's more comfy being a dragon then a human."

Before Petrie could say anything, Dragon Kim's sister barged in and kicked her brother in the face. Then she began to choke him, partially transforming into her true form as she did so and yelled at him. "SEE! NOW HE'LL THINK THAT YOU'RE AN IDIOT LIKE YOU ARE FOR LETTING PEOPLE KNOW!"

Slowly, the twitching of Petrie's eyebrows increased. 'YOU'RE NOT ANY BETTER!' Then he sighed and held his face in his claws. 'This is going to be one of those loops...'
