The Weathered Loops

2.1-My Little Pony

Weathered blinked. He had just walked through the Key-gate to Equestria again. Last thing he remembered… Twilight and the Mane 6 had just returned to Ponyville after reforming the Changeling Empire. Then it clicked. Weathered reached into The Field, and pulled out a copy of ‘So You’re Time Looping’, and re-read it. So he was Awake then? Huh. Well, time to find Twilight anyways.

Twilight heard a knock at her door. Many Loops had passed since she had heard that knock, but she knew what it meant. She opened the door, and to her surprise, saw a copy of the Loopers guide that she wrote being held by Weathered. “Hey Twilight. I think you know what this means.” Twilight sighed. While she was willing to help a new Looper out, this was going to be an odd case.

“Yeah, I do. Come in, we have some things to talk about.”

2.2-My Little Pony (Star Wars)

Twilight Sparkle, or Twilight Windu in this Loop, was preparing the raid on the chamber of Emperor Lulatine, who was Awake.. Usually when this happened, it led to her getting thrown out the window, shielded by a simple spell. She was surprised, though, to find that when they entered the room, it was filled with smoke that billowed out of the room. Trixie Lulatine stumbled out, coughing. “Sorry I- *cough* I tried to use the for- *cough* force to light a firework out the window, but that *cough didn’t work. Turns out fireworks explode when electrocuted. Can we try this again in an hour or so, when it's less smoky?”

Twilight fell over laughing, and Trixie did the same, to the confusion of the other jedi in the room. “Uh, Master Windu, should we attack? Or…” Twilight stood up, tears in her eyes, and composed herself. Then she teleported the three other jedi to the lower levels of Coruscant and looked at Trixie,who was chuckling, wiping tears from her eyes.

Weathered was galloping down the Coruscant hallway. He was Weathakin Fieldwalker, a Jedi Knight. He was on his way to Emperor Lulatine’s chamber to stop Twilight Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin from attacking Lulatine.

His running halted, though, when three humanoids appeared in front of him in a flash of purple light. This stunned Weathered for a moment, because he rather expected ponies, not a mix of the two. Then Weathered blinked, Awake. Checking his Loop memories, he was surprised to find who he was.

Twilight felt a ping in the world as Weathered Awoke. This could be interesting. A gold flash erupted in the smoke, as Weathered fell to the ground. “Oh hey Twilight. I just woke up, what going on? Oh hey Trixie! I think this is our first shared loop!” Trixie blinked, then looked up at Twilight.

“Wait, who is this? I think I would remember you from outside this loop, I thought you were just some random pony being Anakin.” Weathered got up, walked out of the smoky room, and held out his hoof.

“Hello! I’m Weathered Field, and I travel Multiverses. I started Looping a while back, I’ve been through about 13 Loops Awake now. I met you back on my Equus, and a few Loops ago. Nice to meet the Looping you, though!” Trixie hoof bumped him, still confused. “Ok, I can see that you are a little confused. Read this book, and I will answer any questions you have.”

Trixie read through it quickly, then looked up at Weathered. “So you… met me already? I mean, that a standard thing for Loopers, but you met a different me? In another Multiverse?” Weathered nodded, smiling.

“Welcome to the Kosmos, Trixie. What's next Twilight? Should we try to get the Loop back on track, or just mess around?” Twilight looked up from a book, a reread of course, to find that they were both waiting for her answer.

“Oh! Uh, I will leave it up to you, Weathered. I am really curious how this will all turn out. You would make an interesting Darth Vader.” Weathered contemplated things for a moment, then shrugged.

“Oh why not.” He grinned evilly. “I have a few ideas in mind.” Twilight knew this was going to be good.

Coruscant was on fire. Weathered had tried to stack multiple Incendio spells the same way you would stack unicorn magic. He wanted to see how dense of a spell he could make, then he would send it into empty space. However, when Weathered went to move the spell, it exploded. He teleported away, protected by his black suit of armor, which had taken most of the blast. Trixie teleported to him, having sensed the explosion.

“What did you do? I felt that all the way from my office.” Trixie looked over the wide radius of destruction that Weathered had caused. “What did you do!?”

Chuckling nervously, Weathered asked “Have you had a Crossover Loop with the Harry Potter Universe yet?” Trixie shook her head. “Well, there's a spell there called Incendio, so I tried to stack it like a unicorn spell. Turns out, they aren't meant to do that.” Weathered nodded, looking over the burning wreckage of the skyscrapers.

2.3-My Little Pony

Huh. Weathered was not himself. He felt… empty. Scanning his Loop memories, he realized why. For the first time in 2 years, the four Field siblings were separated. He was Mossy Field, with his three siblings Sunny, Frosty, and Cloudy. They were the Elements of Harmony, along with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Mossy was the Element of Magic, Sunny was Laughter, Frosty was Honesty, Cloudy was Generosity, and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were their normal elements. He tried teleporting, but was disappointed to find that he was an Earth pony.

“Well, if nothing, this is a chance to see what I- we- the Field siblings would look like as ponies.” Mossy was stepping out of bed when he heard a knock at the door of the Golden Oak Library. Opening the door, he was bewildered to see Twilight standing there.

“Hey Mossy! Its me! Twilight Sparkle! I was stopping by in Ponyville when I learned that you lived here! I just had to say hi.” She said, smiling.  Deja vu, am I right? Mossy groaned, and clutched his temples. This was already giving him a headache.

Twilight pondered the situation, bewildered. “So you mean to tell me that we swapped places in this… Time Loop?” Mossy nodded, thinking about how this worked.

“Yeah, in this Loop you travel the Multiverse, after being Displaced from your home Universe by an experiment gone wrong. After three years of study, you decided to head to this Multiverse, where you will start Looping. At least, that what would happen if this wasn’t a Loop. After this whole thing, we will swap back.” Mossy and Twilight both stood there, heads hurting. This meant that somehow, somewhere in the Kosmos, there was a Multiverse called the Twiliverse where Mossy’s role and Twilight's role was swapped.

This is a punishment Loop for last time, isn’t it?

2.4-My Little Pony (Harry Potter)

Weathered was hitting his head on the wall, trying to forget that last Loop. if he thought about anything there, it gave him a huge headache. He felt a small thump as someone Awoke. Time to go greet the newcomer. Teleporting to the town square, he was surprised to find a brown Unicorn with a lightning bolt Cutie Mark that looked similar to…

Searching his memories, he realized that he was still Weathered Field, but he and this pony, Harry Potter, were students at Dumbledore's School for Gifted Wizards. Oh well. At the least, it was a chance to meet Harry for the second time, so that's alright.

Well shoot. Canterlot was on fire. Seamus Finnigan had tried to stack Incendio spells, which are not meant to be stacked. At least it wasn’t Weathered’s fault this time. No punishment Loop for him.

2.5- The Field

Weathered stood there, Awake. As far as he could tell, this was a baseline Loop, or at least it was as close to baseline as he was going to get. He put a tally down on his notepad, which he stored in The Field. 54 Loops. He had a plan to put a little bit of his own flavor in this Multiverse, but it would take some time.

Hopping to the Original Field, Weathered was relieved to find that the Fieldiverse was still accessible. He hadn’t tried this since he had entered the Loopverse, so he wasn’t sure if it would work. He was also relieved to find that no time had passed in the Fieldiverse since he left, which meant the two Multiverses had their own time system.

He looked around the Field, hoping to find a certain blue someone. Catching a glimpse of a blue cloud, he called Cobalt over. He landed in front of Weathered, composing himself. The hue looked him over, then frowned. “Weathered, there's something up with your Imprint. Its showing multiple Universes twice. Just thought I would let you know, anyways what did you need?” Weathered scratched his head.

“It would be better if I showed you, then explained.” He opened up a door to the Loopverse Field, and let Cobalt go through before he followed.

Cobalt stood there, confused. He was in the Field, again. Had Weathered Hopped wrong? Weathered walked through, past Cobalt. “Alright, over here. I’ve set up a Key-gate so it's easy to Hop to.” Cobalt looked around, surprised to find that the Field was empty, except for a single Key-gate in the center.

“Weathered, where is everybody, where are the gates? What’s going on?” Weathered looked back, hand on the gate, smiling.

“This isn't your Field. Go on, Check the Imprint.” Cobalt sent out a pulse and gasped. It was a completely new Imprint. Even the one little patch that signaled the connection between the Multiverse was gone, replaced by a new one.

“I- but- that means that this is a new- a- oh boy.” Cobalt fell backwards, hit full force by the realization. Weathered just stared as his apprentice fell over, stunned by the revelation.

“Thats right! Welcome to Multiverse Numero Dos. It works a bit differently than our Multiverse, which you should now refer to by the Fieldiverse. This one, the Loopverse, has various Universes, or Loops- y’know what, just read this book. It’l explain most everything.” A small booklet landed on Cobalts face.
