Lincoln looked at the trophy case and gave a sigh, all he had was a tiny "pity" trophy as Lynn called it, that his sisters made for him "maybe one day I'll earn a real trophy" he muttered
"What's the matter Lincy?" he turned around and came face to face with Leni
"I'm just a bit depressed that the only award I have is the pity trophy you girls made for me, no offence but I'd like to have something a little more official"
"Well Lincy if it makes you feel any better, the only award I have is a certificate I got in school last year that says that I graduated from using a pencil to a pen" no one had told her that nearly all students get that certificate in year 2.
"Looks like we're the only ones that haven't been awarded for our talents"
"Yeah" the two gave sighs before going their separate ways, what they didn't know however was that a certain sporty sibling had overheard them and decided to help them.
The next morning
Lincoln was in his bed sound asleep when his door was kicked open followed by the ear-piercing sound of a whistle blowing, making him fall out of bed. "huh?! Wha?! What's happening?!" he asked as he looked around and saw Lynn standing in his door way with a half-asleep Leni standing behind her. Getting to his feet he shot Lynn a glare "why did you wake Leni and I up at (looks at his clock) 7 in the morning?"
"Because your training begins now!"
"Training for what?"
"*yawn* she signed us up for a contest thingie" Leni tiredly replied
"Yep, I saw how bummed you two were about not having any real trophies so I signed you up as a team for Ultimate Warriors"
Leni and Lincoln looked at each other "there's no chance for us getting out of this is there?" Lincoln questioned
"Nope" Lynn replied
"Fine, just let me get dressed. Leni you'd better change into gym clothes" Leni nodded and tiredly headed back to her room
"Meet me in the garage" Lynn said before she hobbled away
"If her leg and ankle weren't still busted I would clobber her" he muttered before he got changed into his gym clothes.
A tired Lincoln and Leni trudged into the garage which they were surprised to find had been set up into a gym "Okay you two Ultimate Warriors is 3 Sunday's from now so for the next three week's you two are going to be training until you drop"
"What is Ultimate Warriors anyway?" Leni asked
"It's a competition that people in teams of two test their strength, speed endurance and fighting skills"
"B-But I don't know how to fight…and I don't like fighting" Leni said
"Same here" Lincoln added
"Hey you two want trophies, you're fighting" Lynn said
"You can't make us Lynn…unless you want me to break your other leg"
"You two are entering or I'm telling mum and dad that you (points to Leni) took the lounge room curtains to make a dress and you (points to Lincoln) threw out all of dad's ties when you couldn't untie them from the rope you made from them"
Leni and Lincoln frowned at this "Fine" they said in union
"Okay first lets see how strong you two are, Lincoln lie down on that bench and hold up that bar while Leni and I put weights on it" Lincoln sighed and did as he was told Leni and Lynn then began putting the weights on one at a time until he couldn't hold it up anymore and he dropped it back in the holder "…wow…you can lift 130 pounds"
"Well I did lift you above my head"
"Yeah, and he almost threw you through the floor" Leni added
"Lets get back to the task at hand. okay Leni now its your turn" Leni then got on the bench and lifted up the barbell before Lincoln and Lynn kept putting more and more weights on until they ran out "…350 pounds" both Lynn and Lincoln said in union
"Is that good?" Leni asked
"That's fantastic Leni! you'll win this competition hands down!" Leni then put the barbell back on the rest and got off the bench.
"Okay now that I know what you two are able to lift, lets see you're endurance" Lynn then hobbled over to the punching robot Luan had used during the last prankmageddon "okay Lincoln, you're going to stand in front of this robot and take as many punches as you can until you can't take it anymore" to her surprise Lincoln smirked
"You know I've actually been using this robot to increase my endurance, and not to toot my own horn but I can withstand it for quite a while"
"Really? okay then lets see if what you said is true" Lynn said before she went to turn it on. Lincoln then stood in front of the robot and got into a stance with his arms at his sides bent forward, his hands in fists his legs apart and he tensed up his muscles, the robot was then activated and it began pummelling Lincoln…but he wasn't even flinching.
This time it was Leni's turn to look shocked "wow, Lincy can really take a punch"
"Yeah. I bet bullies would get tired before they beat him" Lynn said.
The beating continued for 15 minutes until Lincoln got out of the way and stopped the robot "so Lynn how did I do?" he asked
Lynn looked at her stop watch and her eyes widened "you took a continuous beating for 15 minutes and 46 seconds"
"That's fantastic Lincoln!" Leni said as she hugged him
"Thanks Leni, do you want to try?"
"Well I guess I have to"
"Try tensing up your entire body, that's what I did" Leni nodded and got into the same stance and tensed her body up before Lincoln started the robot back up. Leni endured the hits for only two minutes before she got out of the way and began using all of her will power to not to cry while Lincoln turned the robot off
"Okay so Lincoln needs to increase his strength and Leni needs to increase her endurance. Okay now for the fighting part, my friends should be *knock knock* ah that must be them now" she then opened the garage door revealing two girls about the same height as Lynn and Lincoln "Jess, Jen, glad you could come"
"To get the chance to smack down your brother for what he did to you, I wouldn't miss it for the world" Jess said, she had messy short blonde hair, a scar across her right cheek, freckles, and she wore very baggy black clothing.
"You'd better leave some of him for me" Jen said she was wearing a blue T-Shirt with matching biker shorts, a metallic blue aero helmet with a blue visor, black knee and elbow guards and silver rollerblades
"Guys these are my friends Jess and Jen, girls this is my older sister Leni and my younger brother Lincoln"
"If he really is younger, then why is he taller than you?" Jen asked making Lynn pout
"Because she's a short stack" Lincoln replied, getting a punch in the arm from Lynn
"I maybe in crutches, but I can still hurt you. Anyway I know that Lincoln is a decent fighter but I cant say the same for Leni. So, Jess you'll fight Lincoln for 5 minutes and then Jen you'll fight Leni. Leni I want you to watch Lincoln and Jess fight very carefully" Leni nodded "okay then lets take this outside" and the group headed into the backyard.
Jess and Lincoln went into the middle of the backyard while Lynn, Leni and Jen waited at the porch. Jess took off all of her baggy clothes revealing that she was a big solid girl "I'm going to assume all of that is like 90% muscle?" Lincoln questioned
"You got that right Snow White"
"Snow White, why didn't I ever think of that?" Lynn questioned while mentally slapping herself "alright, ready (blows whistle) fight!"
"You'd better go easy on me just because I'm a girl" Jess said and she charged at Lincoln. Lincoln dodged the first hit and punched her hard in the stomach, but she didn't even flinch
"Oh cr-" he was cut off as she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and punched him hard in the stomach three times before letting go and punching him across the face, knocking him to the ground. Lincoln rolled out of the way to avoid being stomped on. He then got to his feet and received a pummelling from Jess while being forced back
"Uh okay Jess that's enough" she keeps fighting "Jess I said that's enough!" keeps fighting "JESS STOP!" Lynn shouted, as Jess was about to deliver the final blow Lincoln caught her fist.
He glared daggers at her "the reason I don't like fighting like this is because when I do I tend to get angry" he then tightened his grip on her fist which actually started to hurt "and when I get this kind of angry…well you saw what happened to Lynn. So do as Lynn says and stop" and he let go, there was a slight pause before she punched him across the face, only this time he didn't flinch "well you can't say I didn't warn you" and with that he punched her in the stomach making her double over, he then kneed her in the face and ended it by kicking her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
Lincoln then picked her up and carried her over to the others "I don't believe it. No one has ever been able to do that to Jess" Jen said
"Then it pleases me to be the first" Lincoln said as he placed Jess down on the ground
"Okay, Jen, Leni, your turn" Lynn said and the two made their way to the centre of the yard
"Okay Leni, you saw how Jess beat up your brother" Leni nodded "okay I want you to fight me just like that"
"Okay then" Leni replied
"Alright, ready (blows whistle) fight!" Lynn said and the two began to fight. Having never fought this way before Leni was incredibly sloppy and was unable to land a hit, Jen had landed several punches to her which she could tell was really hurting her, so she stopped that and just dodged. As the fight went on Leni slowly started to get better until Lynn blew the whistle making them stop.
"Okay good work girls. For the final test lets see how fast you can run" they then headed out the front "okay you two I want you to run around the block as fast as you can"
"Um where's a block?" Leni asked as she looked around
Lynn pinched the bridge of her nose "Leni just keep running and turn to your left when you reach a road"
"Oh, okay then"
"Good now go!" Lynn then blew her whistle and both Lincoln and Leni ran off.
After about a minute Leni was the first to arrive back…only to keep running past them "um wasn't she supposed to-"
"I'll get her when she comes around again" Lynn interrupted, after another 30 seconds Lincoln arrived now completely out of breath "2 minutes 46 seconds, you can definitely do better than that Linc"
"Hey *pant* running isn't *pant* my strong suit *pant*" Lincoln panted out before Leni returned
"Stop!" Lynn called out making Leni stop instantly "okay, now from what I've seen Leni needs to improve her endurance and fighting skills while Lincoln needs to improve his speed and strength" Lynn then turned to her friends "you girls wanna stay and help out with this?"
"Sure" Jen replied
"As soon as my stomach stops hurting, I'll help too" Jess replied as well.
For the next three week's Lincoln and Leni trained for the upcoming Ultimate Warriors competition, every single scrap of spare time they had was spent training with Lynn and her multiple friends helping them. After the 2nd week Lynn's leg had finally healed enough that she didn't need the crutches or any braces on her leg but she still wasn't allowed to do sport, run, or do any kind of strenuous activity for at least another month. It was the day before Ultimate Warriors and Lynn had given Lincoln and Leni a half day, Leni was now passed out on her bed and Lincoln was lying on the couch with his head resting in Luna's lap
"So bro are you excited about the Ultimate Warriors?" Luna asked
"Kinda, I'll just be glad when its over"
"Why's that?"
"Once its over Leni and I wont have to basically keep destroying our bodies every day"
"Well you can't complain with the results" she said as she lifted up his shirt revealing his newly developed abs and 6 pack, this made him blush and pull his shirt back down
"Yeah, but I'm still a bit ticked off that Lynn dragged Leni into this, I think she was more against it than I was"
"Why did you agree to it if you didn't want to do it"
"Blackmail"
"Oh really, well maybe I should have a few words with her"
"Nah its fine, Leni and I will clobber her after"
Luna giggled at that "so how strong have you gotten now?"
Lincoln got up and went behind the couch before lifting it above his head "this strong" he said before he put it back down. As he made his way back onto the couch he saw Luna now had a stunned look on her face
"Holy crap, I thought only Leni could do that!"
"Well I guess I have to thank Lynn for that. Thanks to the training I'm now as strong as I am when I get mad"
Luna then remembered the amount of strength he showed when he thrashed Lynn "I pity the next guy who bullies you"
"I'm not a fighter Luna, I'd rather defend myself then actually throw a punch…remember the first and only time I fought"
Luna remembered years ago back when Lincoln was year 1 he and a kid who was in year 6 got into a fight over a ball and Lincoln ended up beating the living snot out of the kid who was almost twice his size. Their parents had forbidden Lincoln from ever fighting again or else he would be in more trouble than he could possibly imagine, that's why he had almost never got into physical fights since.
Lincoln then lay back down on the couch with his head on Luna's lap "I'm gonna spend the rest of the day resting my body for tomorrow, god knows I'm gonna need it" he said as he closed his eyes
"From what I've seen, you and Leni are going to cream the competition"
"Here's hoping" he said with a smile, Luna returned the smile and began gently stroking his forehead with her thumb until she started to hear light snoring. With most of the family out for the day the house was unnaturally quiet, taking advantage of the rare moment of piece Luna closed her eyes and soon joined her brother in the land of slumber.
The next day
Leni and Lincoln were now in a large arena wearing blue sports clothes that had a Lion on the front of the shirts "Lincoln, I'm nervous"
"Hey don't worry Leni, the sooner we finish this thing the sooner we can go home and go back to what we normally do" Leni nodded and the two looked at the 14 other teams which consisted of people ranging from 11 to 18
"You think we can win?"
"Even if we don't as long as we try that's all that matters"
"That's true" Leni said with a bright smile on her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ultimate Warrior, these 15 teams will compete against each other in an attempt to take home the Warriors Swords" a screen then showed two swords mounted on bases crossing each other "cool" some of the contestants, including Lincoln, said "first up we have the Lightning Rod each team member will hold onto the bar until they can't any longer. If one of your team members falls onto the ground your team loses. Okay teams, to your bars"
Lincoln and Leni made their way to the bars designated for their team, the Blue Lions. As they walked up the steps Lincoln explained to Leni what she had to do "okay Leni, all you have to do is hold onto the bar for as long as you can, okay?"
"Okay" once everyone was holding on a horn went off and the stairs sunk down into the floor until everyone was hanging.
After 20 seconds the announcer spoke "and now time for the shock"
"Shock?!" Lincoln and Leni said in union before a weak jolt of electricity shot through the bars which made several people let go including Leni, thankfully she managed to grab onto Lincoln who managed to hold on even with the weight of Leni pulling him down
"The Silver Snakes, Golden Frogs, and the Green Monkeys are disqualified and a lucky save for the Blue Lions"
"Leni I have an idea, grab onto the bar and wrap your legs around my waist" Lincoln said, Leni nodded and did as she was told
"And another shock" another more powerful jolt of electricity shot through the bar eliminating another team but this time both Lincoln and Leni managed to hold on "and the White Doves are eliminated. One more time gentlemen" and another jolt shot through the bar "and the Grey Geckos are out" a horn then blew and the steps rose back up until everyone's feet could touch them allowing them to finally let go
"Lincy, my arms are all tingly"
"Yeah mine too" Lincoln said as he shook his arms to try and get the feeling back.
"Okay folks next up we have the Death Mountain. Each team has to push these 4 ton mountains over the finish line" while the mountains did weigh 4 tons each they were on tracks, so even though they could be moved easier it would still take a lot of effort.
"This should be easy for us, especially with your strength" Lincoln said which made Leni smile
"On your marks, get set, push!" a horn was heard again and both Leni and Lincoln pushed as hard as they could. At first it was a struggle but once they got it moving their speed picked up until they were amazingly running "incredible!" the announcer exclaimed as Lincoln and Leni were bolting to the finish line. Unfortunately, just as they were about to reach it a snap was heard and the mountain skidded along the ground before tipping over "oh what bad luck, the Blue Lions mountain has broken off its track just before it reached the finish line looks like this is the end of their journey"
"Like hell it is. Come on Leni as long as this thing crosses the finish line we'll pass" Leni nodded and the two began pushing the side of it with all of their might until it was facing the other way but still hadn't crossed yet.
"Wow I've seen some determination but this takes the cake, the Blue Lions are actually trying to manoeuvre their mountain over the finish line"
"Okay Leni, lets grab the peak and swing it around"
"Right"
They then grabbed the peak and swung it around making it pass over the finish line just as the 3rd team passed them "and the Blue Lions have crossed the finish line" Leni and Lincoln were now slightly winded from the amount of effort they had put in to winning that round. Once the 8th team passed the horn went off again "and with the Yellow Scorpions passing, the Black Spiders and the Red Panthers are eliminated" the announcer then made his way over to Lincoln and Leni who were surprisingly being congratulated by the other passing teams
the announcer then came up to Lincoln and Leni "Lincoln I think that I can safely say that everyone here is amazed at what you did to win this round"
"I can't take all of the credit, my sister Leni is the real muscle of this team" Leni blushed at that
"Well here's hoping you two make it past the next round" and he went back to where he was originally standing.
The teams were given a 5 minute break to prepare themselves for the next round of tasks as well as be checked over by medics just to make sure that they could still go on "so what do you think the next things going to be?" Leni asked
"I have no idea, all I know is that its just going to get more difficult from here on out"
"Well we trained for uh *counts fingers* this many weeks" she said while spreading out all of the fingers on her right hand.
Lincoln then reached out and curled two of her fingers "no Leni, we've been training for this many weeks"
"Wow, you really are smart"
"yyyeeeah…smart"
Once the 5 minutes were up the teams made their way to the next challenge, there were 8 paths with 7 holes on the walls at the back with a large button underneath it. "okay teams your next challenge is Ultimate Baseball, all you have to do is make it to the end and press the big red button at the very back while having bats swung at you and being bombarded by baseballs, there are multiple buttons set along your paths when you feel as though you can't take it anymore just press it and everything will stop instantly, and to prove that we're not monsters everyone is going to be given eye and mouth protection"
Everyone was given mouth guards and goggles to wear "okay Leni, when the challenge starts pick me up and use me as a human shield while you run to the end" he whispered to her
"Are you sure?" she whispered back, he nodded and they got to their designated path.
"On your marks, get set, GO!" the horn blasted and Lincoln tensed his body up before Leni picked him up under the arms and ran forward. "Folks you are seeing this correctly the Blue Lion's member Leni is using her partner Lincoln as a human shield and is now racing to the back"
The Loud family were appalled at what Leni was doing to their brother/son "why is Leni doing that to Lincoln?" Lana asked
"I don't know but it's very effective" Lynn Sr. said before he was elbowed hard in the side by his wife
"Don't worry sweetie, I have a feeling it was Lincoln's idea" Rita said before they turned their attention back to the contest.
Lincoln was being bombarded by high velocity baseballs while also being struck repeatedly by bats when they finally reached the end Lincoln swung his leg out and kicked the button turning off the machine. Once it was stopped the two cheered and high fived "and the Blue Lions come in first. ooo and the Maroon Barracudas have decided to call it quits" one by one teams made it to the end until the 6th team made it making the last teams machine stop automatically "and with the Indigo Foxes coming in at 6th place the Orange Iguanas are eliminated"
"9 down, 5 to go" Lincoln said
"I hope we win. I'd Like to have a trophy"
"Well as long as we try, we have a chance of winning" Lincoln said before the teams were escorted to the racing track that went around the inside of the arena.
"Now that our contestants muscles have been both loosened and tenderised its time for the Track Race" a large door opened up and out came 6 small steam trains "your task is to make 3 laps around the race track, holding hands, while trying to out run these trains"
"Are you serious?" Lincoln questioned
"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" Leni asked
"Probably" the announcer replied the contestants got to their designated track and got ready "on your marks, get set, run for your lives!" the trains whistled and the teams bolted.
Leni was forced to run slower than she normally could so she could keep up the same pace as Lincoln "damn these short legs!" Lincoln shouted as he and Leni kept running, not even daring to look back. Once they completed their first lap they heard the announcer say that the Purple Parrots were eliminated looking they could see that the team had been hit by the train which had stopped only a few meters away from them. after making their 2nd lap they saw the Yellow Scorpions get struck as well which made them run even faster out of fear of what would happen if their train caught up with them. when the two had finally completed their third lap they slowed down rapidly and came to a stop, though their relief was short lived as they were both struck by the train that had been chasing them.
"Ow, I thought that those trains were supposed to stop" Leni said as she stood up while rubbing her now sore arm. Unfortunately once again the two succumb to misfortune as the trains flimsy remote controlled breaks had broken, looking around Leni saw that Lincoln was now gone. Even though she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed she was smart enough to realise what had happened "he must be caught on the train!" she exclaimed and it was true, normally the rubber cowcatcher on the front of the trains caught contestants and brushed them to the sides when they had been hit, without causing any serious damage. With Lincoln however, his leg had gone through one of the rubber cowcatcher bars so now he was being dragged along the whole track by his leg.
Leni turned around and saw that her fears were confirmed as the train came back into view. A stern expression came to her face before she stuck her hands out in front of her and tensed up her body. Her family all shouted for her to get out of the way but she ignored them as the train rammed into her. She skidded back several meters until she managed to stop it, shocking everyone who saw it. "are you okay Lincy?! she asked
"Yeah, kinda" he replied as he managed to pull his leg free. Leni could see that he now had multiple cuts and scrapes on his arms and quite possibly the rest of his upper body. Snapping out of their shock the operators quickly made there way to the train to stop it but before they could reach it Leni stunned everyone once again by picking up the engine and holding it above her head
"This is what you get for hurting my brother, you big meanie" and she hurled it to the side, off the track where it landed on its side
"Folks you just saw correctly. Leni from the Blue Lions just threw an entire train off the race track like it was nothing!"
"That's showing it who's boss" Lincoln said as the operators went to put out the engines fire to make it stop and a medic coming over to see if Lincoln was all right. Once he confirmed that he was he stuck up both arms and gave victory signs
"He's alright folks!" and the crowd cheered and Leni hugged Lincoln.
"Four teams left, lets see which two teams will make it to the final round. Next up we have Rock'em Sock'em, your endurance and strength will be tested as all of you will be put into a ring with a professional boxer. If you manage to ether knock out your opponent, make them give up, or you manage to last more than 3 minutes you win. However even if one of your team members ether gets knocked out, gives up, or doesn't manage to last more than 3 minutes you lose. Also if your opponent does lose you are not allowed to gang up on them. Now with those rules out of the way, first up we have the Blue Lions"
Lincoln and Leni hopped into the ring with the two boxers on the opposite side. Once they were in a man handed them their gloves "(to Lincoln) your opponent is the one in the blue shorts (to Leni) and yours is the one in the red shorts" the two nodded and got ready
Lincoln looked at Leni's opponent and smirked "hey buddy, do you really want to fight a girl who threw a train like it was nothing?"
The man tensed up at that and gulped "I forfeit" he said
"Wow, Crush gave up before the fight even began so now all Lincoln has to do is win against Gulp, now llllllets get ready to rumble!" *ding*
"Give me your best shot" Lincoln said Gulp then made a direct punch to Lincolns face…but he didn't even flinch "is that the best you've got?" Gulp started delivering stronger punches all over Lincoln's upper body but Lincoln remained as still as a statue. Lincoln just decided to just wait out the 3 minutes rather than fight.
Once the 3 minute mark had passed another *ding* was heard "and the Blue Lions go on to the next round" the crowd cheered before simmering down as the next team got into the ring.
Surprisingly all of the teams managed to pass, two barely, but they all hung in "amazing, the first event where no one was eliminated, looks like we'll have to ween out the weakest with the Punch-Bots" 4 doors opened up and a punching robot identical to the one Leni and Lincoln trained with came out of each one, Lincoln and Leni looked at each other and smiled "both team members will take a turn standing in front of these robots, if both team members manage to remain standing for 5 minutes and take every punch they go on to the next round, if one of your team members can't take it then your team loses, if two teams are eliminated during that time the machines will stop, okay teams get to your bots"
"I'll go first and then you go after Lincy" Leni said with Lincoln nodding in confirmation. One member from each of the remaining teams stood in front of the robots, a horn then blasted and the robots began pummelling the member. Leni was actually smiling as she repeatedly punched, with all of the muscles on her front tensed up she was hardly feeling a thing, the same couldn't be said for the others however which resulted in two teams getting eliminated
"And with a little help from the Punch-Bots the Pink Dolphins and the Indigo Foxes have been eliminated, leaving the Blue Lions and the Brown Bears still in, now into the final and most difficult challenge yet" the two remaining teams were now nervous as to what the final challenge could be "for the final challenge you have to go through all of the previous challenges non-stop by yourselves and then climb to the top of Terror Mountain to claim your trophies, first member of their team to reach the top wins it for their team"
"Dang it" both Lincoln and Leni said before the two remaining teams made their way back to the Lightning Rod.
Everyone grabbed onto the bar "you have to hold on while getting 5 shocks before you're allowed to proceed onto the next event"
"Good luck Leni"
"You too Lincy" a horn blasted and the steps dropped after 20 seconds the first shock came then the second, then the third then the forth and once the fifth shock had passed they all let go and headed over to the Death Mountains they all got behind one and pushed. Even in teams it was hard enough but now that they had to do it on their own it was nearly impossible. Leni naturally made it to the finish line first and was about to continue on when she saw how much the other team had been struggling. With her kinder side kicking in she went and helped the youngest member on the Brown Bears move his mountain until it was only 3 meters away form the finish line. Lincoln smiled as he saw her go and help both members of the other team.
"Well folks its against the rules to help your teammate in the final challenge, but it isn't against the rules to help the other team because, well, no one has ever done it before" the announcer said as Lincoln crossed the finish line and continued on. Once the first Brown Bear team member crossed the finish line he decided to wait until Leni stopped helping his teammate. Lincoln arrived at the Ultimate Baseball, a man offered him goggles and a mouth guard but Lincoln completely ignored him and charged into the barrage of baseballs with his head down and his arms crossed in front of him.
When he reached the end he pressed the button and raced back out just in time to see Leni accept the goggles and mouth guard "Lincoln where are your goggles and mouth guard?"
"I just charged in with my head down and arms crossed in front of me" Leni looked at the goggles and mouth guard before shrugging and handed them back to the man before doing the same as her brother, with the Brown Bears doing the same. Then came the Track Race, the second Lincoln got onto the track the engine started and began chasing after him. As he was half way through his first lap Leni got onto the track and ran as fast as she could, passing Lincoln in the process. By the time Lincoln had completed his second lap Leni had already finished and made her way to the boxing ring but a quick protest from both boxers lead her straight to the Punch-Bots. Tensing her body up she once again began to get pounded by the robots, and just like before she barely felt a thing.
Lincoln now out of breath arrived at the boxing ring getting into the ring he put on the gloves and got ready to fight "so you plan on fighting this time?" Gulp asked
"Yeah because I'm on a bit of a tight schedule" Lincoln then ran at Gulp, he dodged a punch before punching Gulp straight in the stomach. Gulp doubled over in pain from the blow and fell to his knees Lincoln then ended it with a right hook to the face, knocking him out.
The ref came up and checked Gulp before giving the signal "winner by knock-out is Lincoln" the ref said stunning a lot of people, especially his family. Lincoln then exited the ring and went over the Punch-Bots where he began to get pummelled. Once 5 minutes had passed Leni stepped back and waited for Lincoln. By the time Lincoln was done the Brown Bears had just started on the Punch-Bot's.
Leni and Lincoln then made a mad dash to Terror Mountain which was a 50 foot mountain that they had to climb without helmets or safety harnessed "sure we get some form of safety other challenges, but on the final one we get nothing, well lets get climbing" and the two proceeded to climb up the mountain.
In the stands Lynn was on the edge of her seat in excitement after witnessing everything her brother and older sister had gone through "it's a good thing I didn't tell them about all of these dangerous events or they would have never agreed, even with blackmail" Lynn said happily
"You knew that the events in this thing were dangerous!" Luna yelled having heard what she said
"Why would you do that?! You saw what happened earlier. What if Lincoln broke his leg on that train!" Lana snapped
"Would have served him right" Lynn muttered while subconsciously rubbing her still bummed knee.
Luna had to restrain Lana after that "I swear Lynn if Lincoln OR Leni get hurt any further I'll break your other leg and I'll let Lana do whatever she wants with your arms!" Luna threatened before their mum Luna and Lynn's left and right ear respectively
"You do that young lady's and you'll be grounded for life, and you junior we are going to have a serious talk when we get home about blackmailing, and if Leni and Lincoln want to get any payback I think something might get in my eye if that happens" Rita said sternly making Luna and Lana gulped and backed down knowing that their mum was more than capable of carrying out any threat she made to them. Lynn shivered at the thought of her mum yelling at her when she did something bad, for some reason her mum was more intimidating than her predecessor was went it came to yelling and punishments.
All over Terror Mountain there were traps which were activated by hidden buttons and panels which Lincoln was the first to find out, as he grabbed onto another ledge his hand pressed down on a button which caused the section of the ledge he was about to climb on to shoot forward and knock him off the mountain making him hit into several outcroppings and land on a previous ledge "Lincoln!" Leni exclaimed, she was about to make her way back down to him when she stepped on a hidden panel which gave her a massive shock, causing her to scream out in pain.
Lincoln forced himself back to his feet and continued back up until he reached the spot where he had been knocked off to find the space now empty with some steps to help him get to the top of the ledge easier. Once he was on it he looked and saw Leni was now one ledge above him "keep going Leni, I'll be fine" he said before he hauled himself up to the ledge she was now on
"Lincy, I don't want to do this anymore. We've almost been killed doing this stupid challenge Lynn signed us up for. You were shoved off and I was just shocked. I'm sorry but I don't want to do this anymore"
Lincoln then gently grabbed her hands "it's fine Leni. you don't have to continue climbing if you don't want to"
"*sniff* Really?"
"Yeah, but I'm still going to keep climbing, as long as one of us makes it to the top we win" he then got a determined look on his face "I'm gonna win this for both of us" and with that he continued climbing.
After climbing another two ledges he pressed another button causing an avalanche of boulders to come down and smack into him, he was knocked down to the previous ledge with the final and biggest boulder landing on him and rolling off "Lynn is dog food after this" he muttered as he forced himself back up and continued climbing.
The Brown Bears had finally finished with the Punch-Bots and were now at the base of Terror Mountain but after witnessing what Lincoln had just been through they were now unsure "you think we should just quit?" the younger of the two asked
"Well…lets just give it a try. Maybe we wont activate that many traps" the older of the two said
"Okay" the younger one replied and they too began making their way up the mountain.
As Lincoln made it onto another ledge he stepped on a hidden panel which caused a net to fall on him. He quickly realised that it wasn't an ordinary net as the small bulbs on every cross sent out a jolt of electricity that felt like a bee stings. He managed to get the net off of himself, and continued climbing only to set off another trap that made a hatch slide to the side and a stone fist shot out punching him right in the chest and launched him straight off the mountain, everyone held their breath and the Loud family's hearts stopped.
As Lincoln fell he felt a burning on his shoulder before he got tangled in something and was swung straight back into the mountain hard making him blackout for a few seconds when he came too he felt a constant stinging sensation over most of his body looking around he saw that he was now partly tangled up in the net that had fallen on him earlier "thank all gods" he said as he looked up at the rope that was connected to a machine on the cat walk above where the net had been dropped
"By an absolute miracle Lincoln has been save from certain injury by a previous trap, I would also like to point out that when you signed your children up for this, you also signed a liability waver" the Loud family all glared daggers at Lynn who shrunk back in fear.
Freeing himself from the net, Lincoln grabbed onto it and continued climbing up the mountain. Once he passed the trap that had knocked him off he continued climbing up. After avoiding two more traps he was now just 4 more ledges away from reaching the peak. Looking down he saw that Leni hadn't moved from the ledge she had stopped at and the Brown Bears were cautiously making their way up though they hadn't even reached half way yet. Hauling himself up onto the next ledge he accidentally set off another trap, two small hatches opened up and two snakes came out, Lincoln froze at this.
Lincoln began to slowly make his way to the edge of the cliff, when he stopped "wait…these are Four-lined Snakes, they're harmless" he said as he relaxed and continued climbing. When he reached the last ledge he was about to climb onto the peak when he set off the final trap boulders rained down on him and the ledge he was on shook wildly to try and knock him off, but Lincoln braced himself and took whatever this final trap had for him, he had come this far, there was no way in hell he was going to start back at where he had landed thanks to the net he was still holding. Once the boulders and the shaking ground stopped he climbed up to the peak letting go of the net he grabbed the two trophies on the stand and held them both up in triumph, the crowd erupted in cheers at Lincoln's accomplishment seeing some stairs at the back he took them down to the bottom while Leni and the Brown Bears climbed back down the mountain.
When they all reached the bottom Lincoln joined them and went to hand one of the trophies only for them to be taken out of his hands by the announcer "I'm sorry but the Blue Lions are disqualified"
"WHAT!" Leni, Lincoln, and the Brown Bears exclaimed
"I'm sorry but because you used the net as a safety rope, which you weren't allowed to have, you are disqualified, so the winners are the Brown Bears"
"Well then we forfeit" the younger Brown Bear member said
"Yeah, Lincoln went threw hell. He and his teammate deserve to win these trophies, not us" the older Brown Bear member stated firmly
"Well then, it looks like there isn't a winner this time around"
Lincoln hung his head at this "I'm sorry I couldn't win those trophies for us Leni" he said in the most depressed tone she had ever heard. She could see that he was now on the verge of tears. Then, for the first time in a very long time her eyes narrowed and she clenched her teeth and fists
"Join us next week where we'll-"
"Hey!" the announcer turned around before he was picked up by the front of his shirt by a very pissed off Leni "my brother and I almost died doing this ridiculous event. If you don't give us the win we deserve, I will take the train I threw off the tracks and bash you with it until it is in a million pieces!" she threatened
The announcer gulped "and "the Blue Lions win! Lincoln and Leni Loud are our new Ultimate Warriors!" he said before she put him back down and he handed Leni and Lincoln their trophies while the crowd cheered once again
"Leni" Lincoln started
"Yeah Lincy?"
"You're awesome"
"*giggles* No you are"
"Smile you two" a man with a camera said, they then raised their trophies up in one hand with there other arm wrapped around each other while they smiled. Once the cameras were off them they congratulated the Brown Bears on how well they did, before they left to find their family, being allowed to keep the clothes they were wearing.
They soon met up where they had first parted "Lincoln!" a familiar voice shouted before Lana dove into his arms which was followed by Luna who wrapped her arms around them both
"That was absolutely incredible bro, I didn't even know you had that kind of determination"
Lori came up to Leni and put an arm around her shoulders "hows our mini she-hulk doing?"
"I'm good thanks"
"I knew you were strong enough to lift a couch above your head, but a mini train, now that is strong" Lucy said
"And the way you threatened that announcer was priceless" Luan added
Once all the congratulations were out of the way Leni and Lincoln confronted Lynn "so why didn't you tell us about all of the insane challenges that almost got us killed?"
"Well I wouldn't say killed-"
"I was launched off the fucking mountain! the only reason I survived was pure dumb luck!"
"He also got dragged around the entire race track by that train!" Leni added
"Look I'm sorry, but if I told you the truth about it you wouldn't have entered it regardless of the blackmail"
"Everyone go to the car, Leni, Lynn, and I will catch up in a few minutes" Lincoln ordered, everyone knew that this was not going to end well for Lynn
Their father stepped forward "Lincoln-"
"NOW!" both Lincoln and Leni shouted making the family flee and Lynn now shaking like a leaf
"I'm normally not a violent person but for what you put Lincy and I through Lynn, you're going to pay" Leni said and she cracked her knuckles.
The Loud family had now been waiting in the car for over 5 minutes "I have a feeling that we'll be swinging by the hospital after this" Lynn Sr. stated with the rest of the family agreeing. After another 3 minutes of waiting, a frowning Lincoln and a slightly concerned Leni came into view dragging what they guessed was an unconscious Lynn who had blood dripping out of her nose Rita got out of the car to help with Lynn
"I'm not grounding you two but no desert for a week" she said
Lincoln and Leni looked at each other before looking back at their mum "worth it" they said in union. After plugging her nose with tissue they laid her down in the back and they headed to the hospital.
Lincoln and Leni were admiring their trophies which were placed on top of the trophy case, due to being too big, with the swords crossed and a name tag in front of each one, one saying Lincoln and the other saying Leni. "we have got the coolest trophies in the house" Leni said cheerfully
"True to that. I also hope Lynn has learnt her lesson about signing people up for thing without their consent" Lincoln said
Royal Woods Hospital
Lynn was lying in a hospital bed with both her legs and forearms in casts, her jaw wired shut, and a bandage across her nose "I hate those two" she groaned out.
