Lincoln Loud, now age 20, is now in the U.S Army.
Just 2 years ago, he left his beloved home in Royal Woods Michigan, to deployed in Afghanistan to join his troops. Along with his best friend Clyde McBride
During a rescue mission in Afghanistan, Lincoln's and Clyde, along with there team, led by Seargent Miles Stone, has secretly arrive at the base. Trying not get spotted
" Alright, Loud, McBride, you two go see if there's an entrance at the other side of the base. And wait for my order. Tristan, Trev, follow me " Sgt Stone ordered
" Boss, we got convoy heading this way " Trev said
All 5 of them look and see 3 vehicles heading toward the base
" Alrigt, the 3 of us aree heading in the car. You two have your orders correct " Lincoln and Clyde nodded " Good lets move "
As 3 vehicles aproches the base, Sgt Stone, Trev and Tristan snuck into the back of the last car. Knocking the enemy soilders who was in it, and throwing them out of the vehicle
Back with Clyde and Lincoln, they stand near the entrance at the other side of the base, awaiting there orders
" How many are we rescuing?" Clyde asked
" 3 Hostages " Lincoln said
As the 3 vehicles enters the base, they quitely made it out of the vehicle. Trisitan grabs his binoculars
" Boss, i got eyes on the hostages. We got 3 enemy contacts with them " Tristan said
" Got it " Sgt Stone said
They stand near the entrance of where the hostages are taken
" Command this is team leader Sgt Stone, permission to engage the enemy " Sgt Stone said through his radio
" Negative Sgt, wait for backup until help arrives " Said Commander Derek Hicks on the radio
" My god, we don't have to time to wait " Sgt stone said
" But Commander Hicks said..."
" I'm sorry but i have to do this " Sgt Stone busts down the door, and shot the 3 enemy soilders. He approches the hostages " You guys are ok "
" Yeah, thanks searge " One of the hostages said
" Alright lets get you out of here boys " Sgt Stone said
Later back at home base, the team, except for Sgt Stone and Clyde, is celebrating another victory
" Hey have you guys seen Clyde and Sgt stone anywhere? " Trev asked
" I heard Commander Hicks wanted to speak to the both of them " Lincoln said
" I wonder whats up " Tristan said
The next morning, as Lincoln walks down to the dinning room, Tristan approches him " Hey Linc, Hicks wants to see you " he said
" Am I in trouble?" Lincoln asked
" No no, its not serious " Tristan said
The two enters the dinning, as they see there teamates ( except Sgt Stone ) behind a podium. And some other group of soilders
" What the hell is all this?" Lincoln asked
" We're about to find out " Tristan said
They joined there teamates just as Commander Derek Hicks walks into the room and stands behind a podium " In reponse to the events of last nights rescue mission, these guys on my right, killed dozens of enemy soilders, and rescued 3 hostages. Sadly, team leader Sgt Miles Stone, disobeyed a direct order. This morning, i disharge Sgt Stone. And everyone knows that some actions, comes with consequences. Lincoln Loud could you please join me "
Lincoln looks at his tesm confused, then joins his Commander at the podium. Commander Hicks continues " As of today, I am assigning the new leadership, to Sgt Lincoln Loud. With great honour, could you please join me in congradulating Sgt Lincoln Loud, on this new promotion "
Everyone in the room, including Lincoln's teammates gives a round of applause as Lincoln shoke Commander Hicks hand
At Captain Jared Freemans Office
" What do you mean Clyde turned downed promotion of team leader?" Lincoln asked
" He made his decision clear Loud. I know he wanted to be team leader one day, but he felt he wasn't ready to take charge. So he handed the promotion over to you " Captain Freeman said
" Oh, i see " Lincoln said
Lincoln never thought that his best friend would turned down the promotion of team leader, although he wanted to be leader
Lincoln enters the locker room, and see his former team leader clearing out his locker
" Sgt don't leave " Lincoln said
" Don't call me Sgt anymore, i'm not your team leader now. But I have to Lincoln, whats done is done " Miles Stone said
" I can try to convince Hicks to let you rejoin " Lincoln said
" Convincing isn't gonna make Hicks change mind " Miles said " I know how his mind works "
Lincoln looks down with a frown
" Hey, do me a favour will you?" Lincoln looks up at him " I know your gonna a great team leader and I know it. So make me proud "
Lincoln nods for understanding " Alright sgt, or Miles, i'll try "
" Good, farewell Lincoln " he grabs his bag and leaves.
" I'll make you proud sgt, whatever it takes " Lincoln said in his head
