And here's another compilation of a series I got started looping into the infinite loops! DinoZaurs, definitely an obscure one, though as you can see here there is a category for it, there just aren't very many stories for it…

Before anyone ask, doing these loop compilations does not take time away from when I would update my other fanfics-these little loop snips are written in-between the time when I would write regular fanfiction and I'm not even the only one writing them(if you see a name next to the number, that means someone other than me wrote the snip).

If you'd like to join in on writing snips, the DinoZaurs snips(and most other dinosaur related series) are based in the Jurassic Loops thread. Now here's the rules of the infinite loops copied and pasted from that thread!

•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.

"Oh isn't this exciting children? You're father helped design the Dinotarium you know."

"Huh?" Kaito dropped the video game in surprise and stared blankly as it fell to the ground and broke.

"Kaito, I wanted you to put the game down but not like that," Kaito looked over at his mother whom was giving him a concerned look. But he was having a very hard time processing what was happening at the moment.

"Wait… what's going on?"

"You don't remember?" his mother placed her hand on his forehead. "Are you getting sick? Do you have a fever?"

"Well this is it everyone: The Dinotarium. It's the largest museum in the world that's dedicated totally to dinosaurs, as you can see we used an entirely new concept for the outer shell and uh…"

"I wanna go inside and see dinosaurs. Can we go in now?" Kaito's little brother Ronnie tugged on their mother's hand.

"But… this is just like that day," Keito muttered as he looked between his family members. As his family started to discuss when they would go in a thought struck the young teen. "C-could it be?"

"Shouldn't we be going inside to - Kaito? Where are you going!?" Kaito ignored his mother's calls as he ran up and into the building.

"Hello there and welcome to the - hey!?" Naomi was caught off guard by Kaito rushing passed her and into the exhibit.

"They're here… they're all here," Kaito stared at each other the fossils in disbelief.

"Well young man, you certainly seem fond of dinosaurs," Kaito looked over at Naomi as she entered and smiled at the exhibits.

"… You have no idea," Kaito muttered while staring at those fossils - the Dino Knights. He didn't know how… but he had come back to that day… the day that he first met them.

.

"Kaito, we're leaving now."

"You go on ahead… I'll catch up."

"Oh… alright then, though you seem to have gotten a bit obsessed with these fossils."

"Don't worry about it dear, the boy's just got a large interest in dinosaurs-can't blame him," Kaito's dad assured his mother as they left. After his family was out he looked around to make sure Naomi wasn't in the room before he turned to Tyranno with a serious look on his face.

"Tyranno, I don't know if you can hear me. But you need to wake up. The Dragozaurs are coming back, and only you guys can stop them!" Kaito looked up at Tyranno, searching for any signs of movement.

"Hmm, you seem rather worked up," Kaito jumped at the voice and turned to see Naomi looking at him. "I'm happy to see someone so interested in the exhibit I put so much work into, though I do wonder what you were just talking about."

"Oh, don't worry about it Naomi, it was nothing," Kaito assured as he waved his arms. Naomi looked at him strangely for a minute.

"Hm, I don't recall ever telling you my name young man," Kaito mentally kicked himself for that - he couldn't go telling anyone he had already lived this day, at least not anyone other than the Dino Knights and maybe Rena and Rick. Everybody would think he was nuts…

"Well… you did, when I came in you introduced yourself," Kaito lied quickly. Naomi paused as she thought about this.

"I don't remember that… hmm… well I suppose if you know my name that's all the proof I need. So what would your name be?"

"I'm Kaito… There's are some really fascinating fossils," Kaito looked over the Dino Knights once more, hoping that they would wake up soon.

"Yes, would you like to get a bit closer?" Naomi smiled at what she assumed was Kaito's enthusiasm for natural history - though in reality Kaita's interest stemmed from a much more personal place.

"Yes," Kaito answered without hesitation as he approached Tyranno's leg bone.

"Go on, you can touch him if you'd like." At Naomi's words Kaito nodded before he wrapped his arms around the bone and closed his eyes.

"Tyranno… please. The Dragozaurs are coming, you need to wake up…" He whispered before he looked up at the fossilized reptile for a few seconds… and then a twitch.

"Dragozaurs… the earth needs… us," Kaito smiled as he heard the familiar, yet faint voice.

"Um, Naomi could I… be left alone with them for a few minutes?"

"What, why on earth?" Naomi questioned Kaito with a raised brow.

"Please, I won't do anything to them. I'd just…" Kaito looked back up at Tyranno, unsure of what he could say to convince her. After a moment Naomi smiled and shrugged.

"Oh well. You certainly seem passionate, I'll give you a few minutes."

"Thank you, you won't regret it!" Kaito waved Naomi off, and then turned back to the Dino Knights as they began to glow.

.

"Yum! All this delicious life-force! Ripe for the taking!" One of the dark goldish colored tyrannosaur - like Dragozaur drones shouted as it gulped down the liquid life-force pouring from the stone, along with its fellow Dragozaurs.

"At this rate we'll be able to drain this planet by ourselves!"

"Hold it right there Dragozaurs!" The Dragozaurs found their feast interrupted by the appearance of seven biomechanical, prehistoric, skeletal creatures - and a human teen riding on the red tyrannosaurus's back.

"You won't be taking our planet's life-force now or ever! The Dino Knights will always stop you!" Kaito shouted as he slid off of Dino Tyranno's back.

"What!? The Dino Knights!?" One of the Dragozaurs took a step back in fear.

"W-we thought you were asleep!" Another called out.

"Well, thanks to this guy here - we woke up a little early," Tyranno stated as he gestured his tail to Kaito. "Kaito, you better get back."

"Yeah, this'll probably get ugly," Dino Stego added as he stepped over.

"Right!" Kaito nodded as he stepped away to watch the fight -that he knew the outcome of.

"Get them!" A Dragozaur shouted as they charged. Dino Tyranno roared.

"Dino Tyranno! Power of the Ancients!" The skeletal tyrannosaurus's body flipped and opened up to form his humanoid knight form. "Silver sword!" He pulled his weapon from his tail and took a battle stance. "Dino Knight ready! Let's do it!" The other Dino Knights followed Tyranno's lead.

"Dino Brachio! Power of the Ancients! Axe of Valor! Dino Knight ready!"

"Dino Stego! Power of the Ancients! Stego Skeletal Revolution! Dino Knight ready!"

"Dino Sabre! Power of the Ancients! Sabre Wailing Whip! Dino Knight ready!"

"Dino Ptera! Power of the Ancients! Ptera Bristle Boomerang! Dino Knight ready!"

"Dino Tricera! Power of the Ancients! Tricera Spears of Jade! Beautiful, this Dino Knight is ready!"

"Dino Mammoth! Power of the Ancients! Mammoth Tusks of Vigor! Dino Knight ready!"

"Wow… it's just as amazing as I remember," Kaita muttered to himself as he looked at all of the Dino Knights in their knight modes. The Dino Knights made quick work of the Dragozaur drones, just as they had the first time - Kaito watching the whole thing with a nostalgic smile. "Tyranno! All of you!" The Dino Knights - now shifted back into dinosaur form - looked over at the approaching human as the life returned to the forest. "You saved me - everyone. Thank you."

"We should be thanking you Kaito," Tyranno said as he looked down at the smaller individual.

"Yes. We don't know how you knew of us, or the Dragozaurs. But we thank you for the wakeup call," Brachio said while looking down at him.

"Well… the thing about that is…" Kaito looked away for a moment… he did want to tell them about him already living this… but he wasn't sure how to approach the issue.

"Ah, whatever," Sabre ran over to him eagerly. "However you knew, it doesn't matter - let's all welcome our first human friend, Kaito!" the other Dino Knights gave their greetings and Kaito couldn't help but smile again.

"Nice to meet you all…" Kaito nodded - he knew he would need to approach the issue at some point, but for now he was just going to appreciate having them back. He also wondered how he was going to bring this up to Rena… and they would have to meet Rick all over again. Each bridge would be crossed when he came to it.

1.2

"I hear someone coming! If they get near here they'll see Tyranno!" Rena said worriedly as she, Kaito and the aforementioned Dino Knight stood before the fossilized Toro and Centro.

"Hold it," Kaito held up his hand to calm Rena before turning to Tyranno. "Don't go anywhere Tyranno. Let's just explain things to him."

"What makes you think that's a good idea!? And what do you mean him!?" Rena looked at her friend like he was crazy, but Kaito gave her an assuring smile.

"Just trust me," he looked up at Tyranno whom stared back at the young human for a moment, before nodding.

"Alright. I'll stay."

"… I hope you know what you're getting us into," Rena sighed. The sound of horse hooves got louder and Kaito looked over at the path expectantly.

"Hey what are you - What the!?" Rick came in riding his white horse but his horse backed a bit and he froze up at the sight of the biomechanical tyrannosaurus skeleton standing before him along with two people his own age.

"Hi, Rick. This might sound weird but my name is Kaito, this is my friend Rena-"

"Hi…" Rena waved awkwardly.

"And this here is our good friend Tyranno," he gestured up to the Dino Knight whom bowed his head slightly.

"Pleased to meet you."

"He's a Dino Knight, they protect the world from life-force sucking aliens called Dragozaurs. And they're powered by these," he held up his Dino Dagger. "They're called Dino Daggers, anyway I'm sure you have one as well and you can use it to wake up your two friends there that are also Dino Knights called Toro and Centro."

"… What?" Rick stared at Kaito blankly.

1.3

As the strange loops in time continued to repeat Kaito had learned how to work through most of them - and a good deal on what events he should allow to happen and what he could prevent. Overall despite the fact that he didn't understand what was happening to him he at least had comfort in consistency.

"The Dragozaurs should be just over here!" Kaito called while pointing ahead, riding on Tyranno's back. He had just gotten the Dino Knights to wake up again and was leading them to where the Dragozaur drones would be drinking the life-force.

"I can't wait to sink my claws into those drago - dorks," Sabre said confidently.

"Well don't rush in too fast. I want to give them a good pecking too," Ptera added as she flew overhead.

"We'll all get in on the action, it'll be a team effort," Stego said simply and the others nodded.

"Hey Dragozaurs! You better stop, the earth is under our protection!" Tyranno called ahead - the drones looked over and backed up.

"D-Dino Knights!?" Kaito smiled confidently at the start of the familiar battle while sliding down Tyranno's tail… still, were the Dragozaurs acting a little different?

"Tyranno!" a deep voice suddenly called out as lightning flashed in the sky - the Dragozaur drones backed up a bit more.

"That voice?" both Kaito and Tyranno muttered before a serpentine form appeared in the sky and slithered through the air towards them.

"It's time for out rematch Tyranno!"

"Gigano Dragon!? He's not supposed to be here yet!" Kaito shouted out in shock-the Dino Knights looked at him in confusion but their attention was drown back towards Gigano as he came in for a landing.

"Power of the Dark Crystal!" the biomechanical Chinese dragon shouted before his body folded up and formed his humanoid knight mode and dropped to the ground. "I've come to face you Tyranno! And this time only one of us is leaving alive!"

And that's how Kaito learned that the time loops were not so consistent…

1.4

The first thing that Tyranno became aware of was that he had regained consciousness. The second thing was that he was a fossil in the Dinotarium again.

"What on earth..?" he stiffly moved his skeletal neck to look around the museum through his empty eye sockets and spotted his fellow Dino Knights -back on display as if they had never left. "Did Kaito, Rena and Rick get us back here? How? Even if they did I shouldn't be aware right now unless…"

He turned his skull skyward as he processed how he could possibly be in this situation.

"Is there another threat to the earth? How long has it been..?"

"Tyranno," The fossilized Dino Knight froze up at the familiar voice and glanced down as Kaito walked in and looked at all of the Dino Knights. Kaito seemed to notice Tyranno's movement and smiled. "Oh good, you're already aware. Quick, you all need to get up! The Dragozaurs are coming!"

"The Dragozaurs!? But they were defeated… even if Drago Wing broke his promise how could they pose a threat without their leader?" Tyranno's faded voice gained volume as the other fossilized Dino Knights looked at their leader in confusion as they regained consciousness. Kaito looked at Tyranno with interest and decided he needed to speak with him… but there were other manners to deal with first.

"Never mind that! We need to stop them before they drain all the life-force from the area!"

.

After the first battle with the Dragozaurs had been won - again. And Kaito had been introduced to the Dino Knights he called Tyranno over to a corner away from the other knights.

"Kaito… what's going on? Why does this seem like the first day we met? Kaito smiled fondly at the large rex and patted his metallic bone leg.

"I honestly don't know what's going on Tyranno… time's repeating."

"Time… is repeating?"

"Yes. Not sure how it's possible but I've experienced the same cycle of events over and over quite a few times… with some variation. Whatever," he smiled at Tyranno again, and the Dino Knight could see a few tears forming in his human friends eyes. "Tyranno… I've been so lonely. I thought I was going to go mad, but now… I'm so happy to have you with me," he hugged the dinosaur's leg as Tyranno just stared down at him.

"… Kaito… I don't really understand. But I'm here for you."

1.5

Kaito found himself outside the Dinotarium with his family again. He muttered something to himself before hurrying towards the building, hoping that Dino Tyranno had his memories, or perhaps that one of the other Dino Knights gained their memories too

"Kaito!" he stopped and turned at the call of his voice and was surprised to see Rena skating over, she didn't usually come to the Dinotarium this early…wait.

"Rena!" he called her over. She skid to a stop and looked at him with a confused face.

"Kaito, do you know what day it is!?"

"Rena - before we take this conversation anywhere else, does the name 'Dino Knights' mean anything to you?"

"What? Of course it does Kaito! But wait…"

"Oh, hello Rena! What are you two talking about?" Kaito's mother called over to the two of them, Rena looked unsure of what to say but Kaito stepped in.

"Just dinosaurs mom! Rena and I are going on ahead inside!" he pulled his friend along before his mother could have a chance to reply.

"Keito, really what's going on?" Rena questioned as she was pulled towards the Dinotarium.

"I'm not really sure myself Rena - but we can discuss it later. Right now we need to get the Dino Knights to wake up so they can stop the Dragozaurs!"

"What!? But the Dragozaurs left, and the Dino Knights turned back into fossils!"

"As I said; I'll explain all I know later!"

1.6

Kaito entered the museum and looked at the fossils that were secretly the Dino Knights - another defeat of Diamond Ryugu, another return to the first day… There didn't seem much variation this time around yet - wait, did Tyranno look a bit bigger?

.

"My name is Roxy, so you don't really know about the loops yet?" Tyranno's replacement had gotten Kaito alone after she and the other Dino Knights had defeated the Dragozaurs, her knight form was similar to Tyranno's, though a bit larger and more feminine - it was mostly identical.

"Loops? You mean the time loops me, Tyranno, and Rena have been experiencing… though Tyranno and Rena don't always have their memories…" Kaito looked to be in thought, Roxy patted his head with a kind smile.

"Then it looks like you're the anchor, I'm going to need to explain this all to you…"

"I can tell I'm going to have a headache soon… I hope Rena is aware this… 'loop.'"

.

"Tyranno! Face me now so we may prove who the greater warrior is!" Gigano Drago shouted as he came flying towards the current leader of the Dino Knights who stood protectively before her team and the kids. "Power of the Dark Crystal!" Gigano Dragon assumed his knight form and glared at Roxy, whom was still in Dinosaur form.

"Come now, transform with so we may battle on even ground!"

"How about instead I give you some Fusion Flare you space - invader life - sucker!" Before Gigano could really process what 'Tyranno' had just shouted at him he found himself being attacked by a miniature nuclear explosion. "… Man that guy was annoying!"

The other Dino Knights, Kaito and Rena just stared in shock.

"… Kaito?"

"Yes Rena?" Kaito looked at his friend, whom thankfully was 'awake' this loop, so they just needed to explain things to Tyranno next time…

"If we ever see her again after this loop, remind me never to tick her off."

1.7

Dino Ptera felt… odd. It wasn't a bad feeling, in fact it was sort of… familiar? A feeling that she hadn't had for a very long time. She was… breathing?

'Am I dreaming? It feels different then last I was dormant.'

As Ptera opened her eye something else came to her attention - she had eyelids - she had skin.

"I'm… flesh and blood?" Ptera looked at her green scaled wings in astonishment, she looked around and found she was in some kind of cave on a cliff; in a nest with… hatchlings? Memories drifted into her head that confused her even further - these were her children, and they were living in the Great Valley - a safe - haven for leaf-eater - wait she didn't eat plants? She was pretty sure her kind were carnivores.

"Mama? Are you ok?" She looked over and noticed one of the hatchlings looking at her with concern, she searched her strange new memories for a name and smiled reassuringly.

"I'm… fine Petrie, mama just had a… very odd dream," Petrie gave her a suspicious look but said little else before declaring he was going to hang out with his friends, to which Ptera kindly let him, though made him promise to be back by supper and to be careful.

.

"Have I somehow returned to the age of dinosaurs?" Ptera was perched on a tall tree overlooking a large part of the valley-the rest of her children had gone off to play around and she was confident the valley was safe enough to allow them - even if she found the new memories of being a mother strange she still didn't want harm to befall any hatchling of hers - or any child in general.

"Even if that were the case, things seem odd… very different. My diet has been completely altered, and I don't remember any place like this existing for herbivores."

"Mama!" Ptera looked over and spotted Petrie flying over to her, she could see some young dinosaurs that she identified as his friends on the ground nearby.

"Petrie, did you need something," Ptera asked with a kind smile.

"Not really, me was just wondering… are you feeling a little loopy?"

"Loopy?" Ptera questioned in confusion. "I… have been experiencing some things that… well my memories are a little off, but its fine. Don't worry," Petrie stared at her for a minute before an understanding smile formed on his face.

"Mama, me think you should come down and talk. There's some things you might be interested in learning."

.

"Wait, so time is repeating?" Ptera questioned as she looked at the young dinosaurs.

"Yes," The one Apatosaurus called 'Littlefoot' nodded his head as he looked up at her.

"But… this isn't a repeat of what I've experienced before, it's just like I was stuck into someone else's place or something?"

"Well… that kind of thing can happen too. It must be strange since this is your first loop. But it gets easier, next loop you'll probably be back in your own world," Littlefoot assured.

"It's all just a lot to take in, I mean I've lived for millions of years- though I was dormant through most of it, but still I could hear things, and I've never heard anything like this…" Ptera looked at her body again and smiled a bit. "Still… it is nice to be flesh and blood again, it has been so long, I think I'll just enjoy the peace of this place for a bit before I have to go back and deal with the Dragozaurs."

"Peace… um, about that," The Triceratops named Cera muttered looking away. Ptera looked at her suspiciously.

"… We're going to have to fight something, aren't we?"

"Well… you're not going to need to…" Littlefoot said briefly.

"Try and stop me!"

.

"Gotta admit, she's not bad," Cera commented as they watched Ptera fight off a sharptooth in knight mode - which was a bit strange looking with fleshy pterosaur bits as opposed to metallic bones covering the robotic parts.

"Yep yep yep, she doesn't seem to need any help right now," Ducky commented as Ptera threw her tail-boomerang and knocked the sharptooth out. Spike nodded.

"If she get in over her head though, we step in, right Littlefoot?" Petrie looked to Littlefoot whom nodded in agreement.

"Of course - but only if it's necessary."

1.8

"It would take more than the entire loop to explain all of the ways you are wrong right now," Tricera blinked at the voice before he looked at the crowd of Rhino's … and spotted a small, orange Triceratops approaching.

"Another Triceratops!?" he looked around for a minute before he realized something. "Wait, haven't I been here before?"

"Isn't this when we went to Africa to find your relatives?" Sabre questioned, just as confused.

"They aren't your relatives!" The small triceratops shouted in aggravation. "Rhinos are mammals!"

"Mammals?" Tricera scratched his head.

"Like me?" Sabre questioned - all of the Rhinos nodded. "I'm starting to think these Rhinos just nod to anything…" the Rhinos nodded again.

"This is your first loop isn't it?" The small Triceratops questioned and both Tricera and Sabre looked confused.

"Loop..?" Tricera tilted his head. The smaller-organic triceratops sighed.

"Ok, first of all my name is Cera - and you are?"

"Um… I'm Dino Tricera," Tricera stated, before turning to Sabre.

"I'm Dino Sabre."

"Ok…" Cera did not look very impressed with the names-then a realization struck. "Wait, would you two happen to know someone named Dino Ptera?"

"You know Ptera?" Tricera looked surprised.

"Tricera! Sabre!" Kaito called as he and Rena came running over to get Tricera and Sabre to help fight the Dragozaurs, they were surprised to see Cera. "A triceratops?"

"An organic one," Rena pointed out. Cera sighed.

"Hey, do you either of you two know what 'looping' is?" Tricera's sudden question surprised Kaito and Rena more than the small, triceratop's appearance.

"Wait… Tricera, you're looping?" Kaito asked.

"Me two I guess," Sabre shrugged his shoulders.

"… We're going to need to call Tyranno and Ptera," Rena muttered.

"Oh, good you can explain this to them. If you'll excuse I think some of my friends are here too. So I'll be off. My friends and I will probably check in on you later, so see you then," Cera sped off before Kaito or Rena could ask her anything. Leaving the four to just stare at each other. Finally Tricera spoke.

"So… Dragozaurs?"

"Dragozaurs."

1.9

"Dino Knights! Transform and roar on!" The other Dino Knights, as well as Kaito and Rena stared blankly at Tyranno for a few seconds - even the Dragozaurs they were about to fight looked confused.

"… What?" Sabre was the one to finally question their leader's words after a few seconds.

"Tyranno?" Kaito looked up at the Dino Knight in concern as he sweatdropped(How that was possible for a biomechanical skeleton was another question all together).

"… I had a loop as Optimus Prime."

1.10

"Excuse me, but is your name Kaito? It is isn't it?" Kaito looked at the familiar appearance of Kira - normally he would just dismiss the deceptive shapeshifter but…

"… Yes. That is my name. Who are you and how did you know that?" Kaito didn't know what exactly he planned to do at this moment - but he had an idea and he at least wanted to see if it could work out.

"Oh, my name's Kira! I just moved here, I'll be transferring to your school next semester," Kira answered in her deceptively cheerful way - Kaito knew what she said was a lie, he knew why she was here.

"Cool, hey would you like to hang out with me and my friend?" Kira looked a little surprised that Kaito had suggested that before she had a chance to, but quickly smiled and nodded.

"Oh sure! That would be great!"

"Ok, but maybe you should dry off first," Kaito pointed out her soaked clothing like he had the first time, and Kira tried to distract him to look away. He humored her so she could wring herself out before they continued.

"It's so lonely not knowing anyone, you'll be my friend. Right?" Kira said with pleading eyes and Kaito couldn't help but sigh - honestly how had he not seen through her act the first time?

"Sure. I don't see why not."

"Oh this'll be great! I've never had a boyfriend before!" Kira latched onto Kaito's arm as he expected and he sighed again.

"That's not what I said, but come on let's go see Rena."

.

"Hi Rena!" Kaito called over to his friend that was sitting on the bench as she did in baseline - she was awake, and that was either going to make this much easier… or much harder.

"Oh, hi Kaito - " Rena stopped her sentence when she spotted something she hadn't seen in a while: Kira hanging off Kaito's arm, just like the first time she had seen her in baseline.

"This is Kira, she's new here," Kaito gave Rena a look telling her to play along. "I thought maybe you two girls would like to get to know each other."

"For a girl she looks an awful lot like a boy," Kira giggled as she hung onto Kaito, Rena glared at her but this time Kaito beat her to the punch.

"Kira, that's not a nice thing to say. If you want to be my friend you need to treat my other friends with respect," Kaito stated firmly. Kira stared at him blankly for a moment.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you Rena," Kira apologized, though both of them knew it was fake. Rena quickly pulled Kaito away from the other girl.

"Excuse us for a moment," Rena pushed Kaito to the spot where she spoke to him the first time Kira had shown up. "What are you doing Kaito? I thought you were just going to ignore her from now on?" Rena whispered to her loops anchor seriously.

"Look, Rena. I know this seems strange but…I want to try something," The both looked over at Kira whom was staring off into space with contemplative look.

"What exactly do you think you can try with her?"

"Look Rena… this might be the biggest gamble I've ever taken. But I think she can change."

"Change… her!?" Kaito shushed Rena before she yelled something else. Kira looked over at them for a second, before shrugging and looking around some more. "Kaito, have you lost your mind? She's a Dragozaur."

"She's a kid," Kaito countered firmly, Rena gave him a confused look. "Look, I know she works for Dark Dragon, and she's here to steal our Dino Daggers - but… she doesn't know any better. She was just created, I've seen the backup of our loop in the hub, and the way she behaves… she just wants her father to be proud of her."

"Her father?"

.

Kira's first plan obviously ended in failure just like in baseline - other than the childish nature of kicking Kaito to take his Dino Dagger, Rena was with them this time so she couldn't get him alone giving her even less of a chance to act. And the Dino Knights really didn't need any assistance in dealing with Dark Dragons Dragozaur drones.

Though failure to procure the Dino Dagger wasn't really at the forefront of the shapeshifter's mind at the moment.

"Wow this stuff is good! What is it!?" Kira questioned as she happily licked her ice cream cone with Kaito and Rena sitting beside her with their own cones. Kaito couldn't help but smile a little at how she seemed to genuinely enjoy the frozen treat, Rena herself seemed a little surprised.

"So, you've never had ice cream before?" Kaito smiled. But then got a serious expression, it was getting to the time where he knew he needed to make a bigger change. "Kira… don't do what you're planning."

"Huh?" Kira almost dropped her ice cream as she looked over at Kaito. "What are you talking about Kaito?"

"I hope you know what you're doing," Rena muttered to Kaito as she backed off a bit.

"I mean, don't try to take our Dino Daggers to Dark Dragon," Kaito spoke seriously.

"What!? Dark – who - now? I don't know what you're talking about Kaito!" Kira looked like she was going to panic at any moment.

"Kira, he's not going to be proud of you or reward you even if you succeed. You're use to him will be done and he'll get rid of you," at this point both Kira and Kaito had dropped their ice cream and Kira was backing away.

"H-how did you?" she muttered as she stared at the boy wide-eyed.

Despite Kaito's efforts to stop her here, she flipped out and managed to steal his Dino Dagger… leading to a confrontation very similar to baseline. But after Dark Dragon's defeat…

.

"Sorry your plan didn't work out Kaito," Rena sighed as after they watched Dark Dragon vanish.

"You tried to do a good thing Kaito… but sometimes it just doesn't work," Tyranno assured the boy. Kaito looked ahead of them and spotted something.

"I wouldn't be so sure, look," he pointed and the Dino Knights and Rena grew weary seeing a small swarm of Dark Dragon's Gloom Bats, but were surprised when they converged and formed back into Kira whom sat on the ground. "Kira!"

"Kaito?" she looked at him briefly and sighed. "You were right, Dark Dragon would have had me destroyed… What are you going to do with me?"

"… I want to try being your friend, for real," he held out his hand and Kira looked at it warily.

"… How do I know you won't betray me like I did you?"

"Just shut up and take his hand Batgirl!" Rena called over with her arms crossed, she was herself having a hard time believing Kaito might have actually gotten Kira to change.

"You shut up Tomboy! I was just about to," Kira called back angrily. Rena glared at her but Kaito ended the argument by simply pulling Kira up. She looked at him for a second before sighing again.

"I really don't know what I'm supposed to do now…" Kira muttered, Kaito patted shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, we'll help you," he glanced at the Dino Knights who nodded, then at Rena who looked away stubbornly for a moment, but eventually gave a small smile and nodded.

"… So, can we get more ice cream?" Kira asked after a moment with a bit of excitement in her voice and Kaito couldn't help but laugh.

Next loop

Kira awoke midair, feeling disoriented. What had happened? She was with the Kaito, Rena, and... Rick? And they were with the Dino Knights. The Dino Knights turned back into fossils and…

*SPLASH!*

Kira's thoughts were interrupted by her hitting a fountain. The same way she had first come to earth.

.

Kaito rode his bike, expecting Kira to show up at any moment - after last time he was confident he could reform her again. However he was surprised when Kira caught up to him like normal, but didn't have a deceptive smile on her face.

"Kaito!" she called, he stopped his back and looked at her distraught expression.

"Kira?"

"Kaito! What's going on? The last thing I remember the Dino Knights beat Diamond Ryugu and got turned back into fossils and… this all seems familiar and…"

"Kira… you remember?" Kaito stared at her in disbelief for a moment. "We've got to tell the others."

.

"Rena!" Kaito called out to his friend sitting on the bench, she looked over and wasn't as surprised to see Kira with him considering what had happened last time. However what did surprise her was the fact that she wasn't hanging off of him like usual. "Kira has something she'd like to say to you."

Kira approached cautiously and the two girls stared at each other for a moment.

"Um… Hey Tomboy," Kira waved nervously, Rena glared at her for a moment, but smirked, recognizing the nickname.

"Good to see you Batgirl."

"We need to tell the Dino Knights we've got another looper," Kaito grinned as he pulled out his Dino Dagger, he glanced at Kira for a second. "… You're not going to try and steal my Dino Dagger, are you?"

Kira laughed a little and shook her head. "Of course not Kaito - we're friends. And Dark Dragon's a jerk! Though you are going to have to explain these… 'loops' to me."

1.11

"Take that back Tomboy!"

"Well it's true, you dumb Batgirl!" Kaito winced as he came upon the arguing Kira and Rena - this loop Kira actually was human and had just moved here - in fact there didn't seem to be any Dragozaurs at all this loop. Even though - strangely - the Dino Knights still existed.

Actually it seemed that everybody knew the Dino Knights existed and didn't care… but that was irrelevant to what was happening now.

Rena was in her skating gear and Kira had her wings and tail out as she hovered in front of her- both glaring at each other.

"What exactly are you two fighting about?" Kaito questioned as he stepped over to them. The two girls blinked when they noticed Kaito, but quickly went back to glaring at each other.

"Kaito! Tell this ice cream - loving shapeshifter that there's no way she could beat me in a race!"

"Kaito! Tell you're stupid tomboy friend that there's no way skates can be faster than wings!" Kaito groaned as the two growled at each other-it seemed that ever since Kira started looping these two couldn't go one loop without getting into some kind of argument. Their friendship was definitely an odd one, and one where Kaito often found himself having to play mediator. Still, this argument…

"… You two are really bored, aren't you?" Kaito muttered, though the two didn't seem to hear him.

"I could skate circles around you!"

"I could fly… hexagons around you!"

"That doesn't even make any sense!"

"Yes it does!"

"Enough!" Kaito finally snapped, causing the two arguing loopers to look at their anchor in surprise. "Why don't you two stop arguing and just have a race to settle this?" Rena and Kira stared and both took on a thoughtful position.

.

"Ok, here are the rules of this race!" Sabre stood before the group. They stood in front of the museum with the feline Dino Knight standing in front of the door. "You will be racing from here, to Kaito's house. You will both be following a straight path in your chosen form of transportation," He glanced between Rena whom stood in her skating gear, Kira whom was hovering above the ground with her wings, and Kaito… who was just standing there.

"Sounds simple enough, but how do I know Batgirl here won't just fly over the buildings?" Rena questioned while glaring at Kira, Kira huffed and crossed her arms.

"Oh yeah! Well how do I know you won't take some kind of a shortcut through an alley or something?" The two glared at each other again, but Sabre quickly stepped in.

"The race will be monitored from the air by Ptera," he pointed above where they could see the pteranodon Dino Knight circling above. "She will make sure there's no funny business."

"Ok then, this will prove that my skates can beat your wings any time of the loop," Rena stated confidently.

"I can't wait to see the look on your face when I prove you wrong," Kira said with a fanged smirk. "You are going to owe me soooo much ice cream!"

"We'll see who'll owe who what!"

"Well I feel pretty good about my chances too," Kaito's sudden statement caused the two girls to stare blankly at him as he did a few stretches.

"What?" Rena muttered.

"No offense Kaito… but you don't have any way to race," Kira pointed out.

"Not true, Kaito's chosen form of transportation is running. Definitely an underappreciated classic," Sabre nodded in approval. Rena and Kira blinked.

"Doesn't that… seem a bit unfair?" Rena questioned. Kaito smirked and shook his head.

"Don't worry, you two just worry about the race. I can handle myself just fine," Kaito said confidently, Rena and Kira both still looked unsure. Sabre smirked before he transformed into his knight mode and held his whip up.

"Ok, on your marks!" All three children got into ready positions.

"Set!" Suddenly Kaito's pupils turned slit. Rena and Kira both jumped back in shock as their friend transformed into a big, red raptor with some black stripes across its back.

"Go!" The unfazed Sabre shouted, hitting his whip on the ground. Kaito roared before rushing forward at incredible speed. Rena and Kira just gaped as they watched him, before both shaking their heads and rushing after him.

"Kaito! That's cheating!"

.

"Well looks like I won," Kaito smirked as they stood in front of his house, both Rena and Kira both looked exhausted. Kaito looked perfectly fine, back in human form. Sabre approached from behind in his sabre tooth cat form again while Ptera came down from the sky.

"Since when can you turn into a raptor!?" Rena snapped after she had caught her breath.

"Oh, I had this loop where there was this Raptor who could turn into a human, Victor Veloci… um long story there. Anyway he wanted to turn all creatures into dinosaurs or something, and during the loop I experience he had cloned himself a son, which was me." Kaito looked thoughtful for a moment. "He sure wasn't happy when I wanted nothing to do with his plans, luckily there were these kids who could turn into dinosaurs and another shapeshifting raptor that wanted to stop him, so I helped them for a bit…"

"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Kira questioned with a cross look on her face after retracting her wings and tail.

"He told us, Tyranno and Tricera. He said he was going to tell you," Ptera said as she perched on the roof of Kaito's home.

"Yeah, I was planning to, when I saw you two fighting. And after that I figured the race would be the best way to show you. And I think that was successful," Kaito crossed his arms proudly.

"Yup, you beat them good," Sabre nodded. Kira and Rena both twitched in irritation.

"That is not fair! You cheated!" Rena shouted.

"Yeah! You got a head start because you surprised us!" The two approached him and Kaito suddenly felt a little nervous at the menacing glares they were giving him.

"WE WANT A REMATCH!"

1.12 GarnettFoxy

Kaito sighed to his self as he controlled the Raptor on screen that eerily looked like his own raptor form. Don't get him wrong he really liked this loop (Evil father aside) but you get the same loop with too little to differentiate the loops you get a little stir crazy.

"Wanna hear a secret Buzz?" He finally asked wondering what the reaction would be as Buzz's Pterasaur avatar was kind enough to rip his loose out of a spider web.

"Only if you wanna tell me dude... But I gotta warn you I don't go that way, more power to you if you do."

Kaito snorted with laughter "Naw, I'm really the kid clone of the evil raptor your teams fighting." the two Dinosaur sprites stopped at a healing spring Kaito waiting for the answer.

"... I don't remember that." Buzz finally answered after a few strained silence "... And if Veloci can clone his self why not make mindless raptor clones to capture us?"

Kaito blinked, he hadn't expected that reaction. "... Uhrm... Buzz stupid question, do you remember things that haven't happened yet?"

"Like Deja vu? Sure have man since the day we got the ooze on us, what's that got to do with you being a clone?"

Kaito laughed "It has a lot to do with it. I'd offer to meet and explain but I know you don't trust m-"

"Naw man, long as you swear your old man ain't gonna be there I'll trust you, but first sign of a scaly butt other than yours being there though this birds flying the coop."

"That's fair, that vegan place near your school?"

"Read my mind dude."

.

It took a minute for Kaito to spot Buzz in the rather popular restaurant, with a rainbow of colors and styles even Buzz's lime green mohawk was disguised. Finally he spotted him in a corner booth slipping in with him Buzz glancing up from his walnut salad.

"Sorry I didn't order for you, didn't know if you'd eat it being a raptor."

"I'm not hungry anyway." Kaito assured him, a semi awkward silence hung in the air for a minute "So... How long do you remember?"

"If you mean how far, I remember up to getting captured by your old man and Miss Moynihan coming to save us. And I've remembered since just after we got infected by your dad's Ooze."

"Just... Just call him Victor or something he's not really my dad." Kaito sighed "Is this the first time you remember a repeat?" Buzz nodded.

"I've been trying to nudge the others to not make the same mistakes, not been stupid enough to tell them it happened I get enough with people assuming I'm a junkie I'd rather not add fuel to the fire."

"Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the Loops Buzz we're here till eternity, or at least till the Admins can fix the universe." He chuckled at the blank stare he was getting "Yaa it can be hard to wrap your head around. You know Yggdrasil?"

"The Norse World Tree supporting and connecting all nine realms," Buzz nodded pushing aside his salad.

"Well it's real, and sort of a hybreed between a Tree... And the multiverses most complex computer. Yggdrasil contains every universe that exists in its Branches this place being one of. But something's gone wrong and the Tree's damaged so the Gods also called the Admins did the only thing they could. Put everything in an infinite loop to save it."

"I'm with you... But why am I suddenly aware of it?" Buzz questioned.

"To stabilize the damaged branches someone has to be Awake and aware of the loop, a minimum of one person-Who becomes an Anchor and is always awake, or Loopers who are sometimes awake."

"... Sooooo where do you fit in dude?"

Kaito grinned "I'm actually an Anchor myself from the DinoZaurs branch, to prevent us loopers from going insane from constantly repeating our lives we get shuffled to different branches and meet other Loopers to help out. We've set up our own community's, I've lost count of the bars and I personally know a Rex who runs a hotel with a staff of Raptors."

"... Do you think you can swing it with whoever's the Admin to send me there? Sounds sweet!"

Kaito laughed "Your taking this well."

"I'm a Teenaged Prehistoric Hero, compared to mutagenic Ooze and half the dino-hybreeds I've faced this sounds plausible." Buzz grinned.

1.13

"Tyranno?" The human Tyranno looked over at the confused Rena as both stood in front of the Dinotarium. Tyranno looked at himself, he resembled his knight form somewhat - except for being fully human.

"This is… a new experience for me, even with the loops," he muttered before he checked his in-loop memories and gave Rena an odd look. "It seems I'm your uncle and am taking you to see the Dinotarium."

"… Weird," Rena sighed while crossing her arms. "But… if you're here, who's in there?"

"Good question - let me ask you something: Isn't Kaito usually here at the beginning of the loop?"

"… You don't think?"

.

"This is weird," Kaito's voice muttered as Rena and the human Tyranno - whom was apparently named Taro - stared at the raptor skeleton that stood where Tyranno's normally would.

"… Kaito?" Rena questioned uncertainly.

"Yeah, it's me. It seems I'm a Dino Knight this loop," Kaito was careful not to let the other Dino Knights hear him, he didn't know if Tricera, Ptera, and Sabre were awake - and he didn't want to try explaining himself to any unawake Dino Knights.

"Strange that you have taken my place as leader of the Dino Knights - yet your form is a raptor as opposed to a tyrannosaurus," Tyranno said with a contemplative look on his face.

"I bet it's because of my Dino Squad loops," Kaito muttered to himself. "Whatever the reason, we should forget it for now; the Dragozaurs should be showing up soon!" this exclamation did catch the other Dino Knights attention.

"Kaito?" Tricera - the only other awake Dino Knight apparently - questioned looking over at the raptor skeleton.

.

"Dino Rapto! Power of the Ancients!" Kaito's biomechanical raptor form - which was similarly colored to Tyranno's normal form - jumped forward as his arms repositioned themselves similarly to a humans and he took an upright stance, his raptor head moved to his chest and a humanoid one with a face that resembled a silver version of his normal form's face popped up in its place. "Raptor Rapier!" His tail shot off and took the form of a rapier - type sword and landed in his hand. "Dino Knight ready!"

Tyranno and Rena watched as Kaito - or Dino Rapto - and the other Dino Knights took the Dragozaurs head on.

"It's strange seeing the battle from this perspective," Tyranno said as he watched with interest.

"Yeah, well at least you can step in if it gets too serious," Rena huffed as she watched Kaito defeat a Dragozaur. "Darn, when am I gonna get some cool powers?"

1.14

"So, what is it you wanted to show us Rena?" Kaito asked as he and Kira stood before their friend.

"Yeah… and let's hurry it up, I'm hungry," Kira groaned as she rubbed her belly. Rena chuckled.

"Well I had an interesting loop, and I thought I'd show you guys a little souvenir I picked up," Rena said before she reached into her subspace pocket and pulled out a heart shaped crystal with little lights that were the seven colors of the rainbow swerving in and out and around it.

"What's that, a crystal?" Kaito questioned with a bit more interest.

"Shiny…" Kira muttered, mesmerized. Rena smirked as she held the crystal… before a flash of light occurred that briefly blinded Kaito and Kira - when it faded they found themselves staring at Rena as she floated in midair… along with Rena and Rena and Rena - there were seven Renas! And they were all flying!

"Pretty cool huh?" The Rena that floated in front and held a blue, heart shaped crystal said with a smirk.

"Yeah - now you're not the only one whom can fly Batgirl!" The one with the red crystal said a bit aggressively.

"… Rena, why are there seven of you!?" Kaito exclaimed in confusion.

"You don't have to yell, Kaito," A Rena holding a light green crystal whimpered as she hung behind the other Renas.

"Really, why?" Kaito questioned again. Kira was just staring at the Renas with a look of both shock and horror on her face. The Rena with the blue crystal - that seemed to have the demeanor of the original Rena - floated forward and began to recount her story.

"Well you see, I ended up replacing some girl named Nana Suzuki. She apparently wanted to make a cake for the guy she liked or something - I kind of just skimmed over those memories. I thought it was going to be a boring loop but then I found out her - or my grandfather had taken the microwave away for some crazy experiment."

"… And that led to this?" Kaito asked blankly.

"Don't interrupt! She's getting to that part!" Kaito and Kira both flinched at the shout from the red crystal holding Rena.

"Thank you Red," The Rena that was telling the story said before she continued. "Anyway I thought that might be something cool to check out so I went into the shed where he took it and found the microwave with this big crystal inside," she held up the large crystal again. "It looked pretty strange, and cool so I decided to open it up - and boom! There's seven of me and we've all got super powers!"

"... Why?" Kaito questioned.

"Not sure, I've thought about exactly the reason that it would do that but I've come up with nothing - perhaps we should have listened to our in - loop grandfather when he tried to tell us," The one with a green crystal said in an intelligent tone - did she have glasses? Where did she get glasses?

"Anyway, we've got super strength, flight, and speed. And there's seven of us. We're like a whole super team," The blue crystal holding Rena said as she landed on the ground and crossed her arms proudly.

"So… can you go back to being one person?" Kira asked after a moment. The Renas all looked at each other for a moment.

"Um… no," The Rena holding the blue crystal admitted.

"Well, at least not until the next loop," The one with the yellow crystal said with a cheerful smile.

"Then we'll be back to one person… until we decide to use the prism again," The one with the purple crystal said with a blank look on her face.

"What!? There will be seven of you all loop!?" Kira cried out.

"… Yes!" They all chorused. Kaito sweatdropped. Kira sprouted her wings and took to the air.

"That's it! I'm spending the rest of this loop on the moon!" and with that Kira flew off into the sky.

"Bye bye!" The Rena with the yellow crystal waved.

"… So now what?" Kaito questioned, looking at the seven Renas in confusion.

"What else, we use our powers to beat up the Dragozaurs!" Red Rena shouted confidently.

"Do we have to? The Dino Knights can beat them just fine," Orange Rena groaned tiredly.

"Statistically the Dino Knights chances of defeating the Dragozaurs before the loop ends and without turning into fossils will be much greater if we pitch in," Green Rena said calmly.

"This is going to be one of those loops," Kaito sighed. "I hope you don't plan on doing this too often."

"Well we'll just have to wait and see, but I'll be holding onto this," Blue Rena - or just Rena depending on how you look at it, said before returning the larger crystal to her sub-space pocket.

Kira felt herself being formed in a swarm of gloom bats within Dark Dragon's lair - it wasn't often she awoke at her exact moment of creation, but it was somewhat disorienting when she did. It also meant she had to come face to face with her fa - creator and hear his orders once more and pretend to be all too willing to follow them…

"Huh… so the bats are how you are formed… to think the ability to create life on a whim would be misused by one so cruel… To create a child for nothing more than to act as a tool," Kira froze, that voice… it wasn't right - she looked up at the biomechanical dragon that had crafted her - something was very different about him… his voice and his eyes… there was something she had never seen or heard from Dark Dragon in them: warmth. A moment passed before the alien wizard noticed her confusion. "Oh, are you awake and feeling loopy?"

"Um… yes, who are…?" Kira trailed off, unsure of what exactly to say. She had heard Kaito speak of loopers replacing people, but it was a first for her to actually experience it. And for it to be Dark Dragon… to see the monster she once idolized look at her with such genuine affection and warmth. The false Dark Dragon frowned a bit seeing her distress and draped a comforting wing over her.

"We haven't met before so let me introduce myself. My name is Littlefoot."

"Littlefoot?" Kira tilted her head a bit, she had heard Kaito mention that name before. "Kaito said… you were a dinosaur?"

"Usually yes, but I'm no stranger to being a dragon either," the good natured comment just seemed unnatural coming out of Dark Dragon's mouth, he looked at her with some sympathy as she tried to avert her eyes. "Kaito has told me about you, and about your… father-"

"He's not my father!" Kira suddenly snapped but quickly covered her mouth and backed away from the larger being with what looked to be a little fear in her eyes. Littlefoot sighed before he seemed to get an idea. Kira watched with wide eyes as the form of Dark Dragon melted away and was replaced with a young, long necked dinosaur.

"Here, is this a bit more comfortable?" The young - looking sauropod questioned good naturedly as he walked over to her. Kira looked at him curiously.

"How… did you do that?"

"You don't know?... Oh, right. You haven't been looping very long," Littlefoot sat down in front of her. "You know when Kaito told me about how Dark Dragon treated you, I really wanted to teach him a lesson…" Kira looked at Littlefoot in surprise, this creature from what she had seen so far didn't even seem capable of violence… but if what Kaito said was true, he was much more powerful than the Dino Knights or any of the Dragozaurs. "It's ok if you don't want to talk about it. When I woke up as him I saw it as an opportunity to… give you the parent you deserved - at least for one loop. But if that's not what you want then I can just be your friend too." Kira stared at Littlefoot for a few seconds, before shaking her head.

"N-no… it's ok if you want to… try." She looked away with a bit of embarrassment and Littlefoot couldn't help but give a light hearted chuckle.

"I'll do my best."

"… Can we get ice cream?"

"Sure."

Kaito blinked as he Awoke and stumbled a bit before he looked around. He couldn't help himself, but stare at the sight of all sorts of flesh and blood dinosaurs walking around. It was then that the Parasaurolophus beside him spoke up. "Is something the matter, Kaito?"

With another blink, Kaito sent out a Ping and got one in return. "Ah, sorry about that, just feeling a little loopy is all. But I'm well Anchored now."

That caused the hadrosaur to carefully examine him before she pulled him into her office and, a moment later, a device on her desk softly hummed. Now with that done, she turned toward Kaito and held out a hand. "Polymnia of the Nanosaur Branch, and you are?"

Still more then slightly confused, Kaito still shook her hand. "Uh, Kaito of the DinoZaur Branch I guess..." Looking around, he frowned a bit at the sight of all the obvious military memorabilia. "So, uh... what am I doing here?"

Blinking, Poly frowned and sighed. "Lovely, you're loop memories haven't hit yet I suppose." Moving around her desk, she popped open a fridge and tossed him a drink before opening it. Poly waited though until he was drinking before she spoke up. "Well, firstly, you're Special Forces and you're going to be sent on a mission critical to our society tomorrow."

As she sipped her drink, Poly held a tablet in front of her face as it was hit by the drink that sprayed from Kaito's mouth. "Say what!?"

Slowly, Poly lowered the tablet, shook it off, and then dried it. "You are a soldier in our Special Forces and are going to be sent on a mission crucial to the survival of our society tomorrow. In particular, you'll be sent back in time, sixty five million years to just twenty minutes before the asteroid hits, and you'll need to steal eggs from various nests and send them back to us here."

Moments passed as Kaito stared at her before he groaned and held his face in his claws. "Just great and..." He blinked as his loop memories hit and then brought his head up. "Wait... I get a jet pack? And a ray gun?"

Poly just smirked a bit and nodded. "You do." She then looked him over a bit in thought. 'Hmm...' For the next week after he returned, Poly just teased him and flirted with him. Of course, she grumbled when she found out his age. Meanwhile, Kaito could not even think of what happened without blushing. He was happy though that he kept the weapons and jetpacks though, especially with the kits that Poly gave him to repair them with.

"Penguin-san, Penguin-san."

"What is it Panda-kun?"

"Can you tell your scaly friend he should acknowledge my cuteness?"

"I don't know that guy Panda-kun. And why would I ever tell a friend of mine to do that?"

"Oh, then can you tell that scaly guy you don't know to acknowledge my cuteness?"

Kaito sighed while the panda and penguin had a–from his perspective at least, a very ridiculous argument, apparently their names were just named Panda and Penguin, though with the Dino Knights names he wasn't really one to talk.

"Here's your coffee, Raptor-san," The polar bear running this café(who was named, what else, Polar Bear) said as he sat a cup of coffee in front of the red raptor.

"Thank you, but my name is Kaito, not Raptor," Kaito sighed as he picked up the cup of coffee with his clawed hand–when he Awoke in this Loop he had found it strange that he was a raptor living like a human, and then he found he was Pocket–locked and thus unable to change back to his human form. He wasn't even sure why he was a raptor, sure there seemed to be animals running around and living like humans here, but none of them but him were prehistoric.

It was also strange that he didn't end up a human, since there were humans around. And yet he had ended up a raptor again–at least the previous times he had been a raptor of some kind it had made some sort of sense.

He wasn't even sure why he had come to this café, he was just really bored and had somehow ended up here.

"My apologies," Polar Bear bowed. "Would you like to order something else, Raptor-san?" Kaito sweatdropped.

"I just told you my name was Kaito…" he sighed before he took a sip of his coffee. He savored it for a moment before smiling at the white furred bear. "Still, this is pretty good coffee. But I don't think I asked for any cream or sugar."

"You didn't, that's pure black coffee," Polar Bear stated, much to Kaito's surprise.

"Huh, that's pretty impressive. I always thought pure black coffee was bitter," The Kaito chuckled.

"It's all in the beans, Raptor-san."

"Once again, my name is Kaito," he sighed in a bit of aggravation before he continued drinking the coffee.

"Raptor-san, Raptor-san," Panda called over and Kaito twitched slightly.

"What is it, Panda?"

"Aren't you going to ask me how my day's been?"

"I don't even know you," Kaito replied bluntly before he continued drinking the coffee. "And the next person to call me 'Raptor-san' is getting roared at."

"Excuse me, Kaito-kun."

"What!?" Kaito snapped at the brown haired woman before he registered what she had said. "Oh…sorry. You actually used my name."

"No need to apologies, I just wanted to know if you would like a refill," The waitress questioned in a friendly manner. Kaito looked to his cup of coffee and noted it was nearly gone.

"Sure, it's really good," Kaito nodded before she moved to refill it.

"Say, Sasako-san, could I also get another café mocha?" Penguin questioned while holding up his cup.

"Sure, coming up," The woman named Sasako nodded as she went over to get Penguin his drink. Kaito took in the peaceful scene of this café for a moment as he continued drinking his coffee.

"It's a shame I'm pocket locked, I'd like to share some of this with my friends back home…I'll have to learn the recipe before the Loop ends," Kaito noted.

"Until then, enjoy your time here," Polar Bear noted from behind the counter. Kaito blinked at him for a moment.

"… I'm sorry, are you Looping?" Kaito questioned suspiciously. Polar Bear looked at him blankly.

"… Looping?" Polar Bear suddenly held up a photo of him jumping out of an airplane with a parachute.

"That's parachuting…"

Next Polar Bear was scoping up the coffee beans into the grinder.

"That's scooping…"

Next Polar Bear was in the corner with a dark and depressing air around him.

"That's brooding…" Kaito sighed as Polar Bear went back to making coffee as if nothing had happened. "Looping… never mind." He continued to drink the coffee. "I'll just enjoy the peace while I can."
