The Anti-Time Loop Team

Act 1

Simon was watching the night sky full of stars. It always relaxed him. He could think about all the Spiral beings that resided there just waiting to make contact with them and continue evolving.

"The true spiral way." He said out loud.

"Mind if I join you?"

Simon turned around. Even after 20 years since he had last used his spiral power he would brag of not getting rusty (if Simon ever brags about something that is).

He saw a beautiful young woman with dark skin and silver hair dressed very provocatively. 'Wonder if she got her clothes at the same place that Yoko does.'

"Who are you?"

"My name is Urd. I'm a goddess that has come to your universe out of curiosity."

"Oh."

"You don't look very surprised."

"When you live the kind of life that I have you're kind of hard to impress."

"So I've heard." Said a smiling Urd.

"So... Anything that this old man can do for you."

"As I said I find your universe very interesting!"

"So do I, there is always something new around the corner."

"It's true. But that is not why I find it interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you familiar with the concept of a time loop?"

"Hmm... When somebody gets stuck in specific time and has to relieve the same period of time over and over again."

"Wow, you surprise me!"

"Meh, I have friends that bore me to death explaining me things like that." Said Simon while thinking of Leeron and Lord Genome.

"I see... anyway as I was saying. There are several universes stuck in these 'time loops.' An impressive amount of people are looking for a solution or at least what has ignited them but so far... nothing."

"That's terrible."

"It has its ups and downs. But Your universe, what really sets it apart is that is NOT trapped in a loop."

"And you're here to find out why and maybe save all these other universes."

"That's right. You have a good head on your shoulders. Think you could help me?"

"I'll gladly help you." Said a smiling Simon. "What can I do for you?"

"Some of our smarter people think that it may be caused due to the amount of guilt and regret in a universe. The desperation it creates just grows out of proportion and then it creates a time loop."

"Well, I don't think that is the case because there is lot of guilt and regret in this universe too." Said Simon while thinking of all the deaths that he had witnessed.

"There is something that you really want to change in you past?" Said Urd when she saw his sad face.

"Yeah... there is one specific situation... I will always regret it and feel a certain amount of guilt but... I abandoned the idea of changing it a long time ago."

"Why?"

"Because my Aniki wouldn't like it."

"Your Aniki?"

"Yeah, he taught me how to live. He gave me a vision, an ideal." Said a smiling Simon. "And not only me. He it taught to several more people... I would even say to several generations."

"Sound like a great guy."

"Yeah, he was the best. But he died long ago. His dead is one the saddest moments of my existence but I wouldn't dare to bring him back to life even if I had the power."

"Why?"

"One of the things that he taught me was to always look forward. It's ok to make mistakes, regret it and feel guilty about them but you should just accept it and move on doing your best to not doing it again."

"I see..." Urd smiled maybe... just maybe... "Why don't you tell me a little bit more about your Aniki?"

Uzumaki Naruto was at the end of his rope. And he wasn't the only one. The loops had repeted several times over with no end in sight.

FUBARS loops, gender bender loops, mind screwing loops... He had lived all those different possibilities several times over, thousands maybe even millions of times over.

The friends that he had made during this predicament where several and varied. The acquired abilities amazing, powerful and useful. But all of them lost their luster long ago.

Now, he was back at the ninja academy (again), for the team selections (again!) and there were several faces from other universes this time too (yes, you guessed it, again).

It was a little bit curious that this time all of them were here: Ichigo, Ranma, Shinji, Harry, you name it, all of them were there.

But not even that was new, it only meant somebody had really screwed up this time.

Yeah, he was right, there was Iruka about to give the team assignments (again).

"Very well people" said a bored Iruka "you know the drill. The team assignments are as follows."

BAM

Everybody turned to see who opened the door that noisily and in came a tall man with blue hair, a red cape, a nodachi and a pair of red sunglasses that were extremely pointy.

He had opened the door with a kick. Then he stood in front of the whole group, crossed his arms and said:

"Listen you punks, what is this that I have heard about all of you stuck in a damn time loop?!"

Everybody was stunned at the guy sudden entrance, however one of them manage to react.

"And who the hell are you? and what are you doing here?"

With that the man jumped on top of Iruka's desk, showed a gigantic smile and said:

"All right I'll tell you but all of you better open you ears and listen well...

"Leader of the Jeeha village's Gurren brigade. With a man soul and a strong back. A tenacious demon... The great Kamina-sama is ME. As to what I'm doing here. I'm here to take all of you punks out of these time loops.

"With that said, boy, now I'll ask you: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?"
