Days have passed since the whole "Royal Woods High School Incident" transpired when two unknown males engaged in a vicious street brawl right in front of the high school and it was caught on video by many witnesses, mostly students.
Unfortunately for the police the amateur cameramen didn't get any good shots of the of any of the suspects faces as they were constantly moving their cameras around trying to catch all the action and because of that most of the videos were quite fuzzy and not useful at all. It certainly didn't help that there are other suspect who was arrested at the scene and was taken to the hospital immediately escaped after incapacitating the police officer in charge of watching him
Evidence suggest that he broke out of his handcuffs by prying them apart from the chain but many people don't believe this as it's next to impossible for someone to break handcuffs from the chain! Also police were having a hard time believing that someone with a broken leg actually managed to escape the hospital unnoticed after his leg was put in a cast as certainly people would have noticed someone running out of the hospital with a cast on their leg.
A homeless man living near the hospital said that he saw their suspect jump out of the window but the police didn't believe him as the window was on the fifth floor of the hospital...
They interviewed witnesses but no one gave a clear statement as no one knew who the suspects were. Some of the officers at the scene suspected that some of the students knew more than they were letting on but because of the whole "no snitch" culture they were going to have a hard time getting any of the witnesses to talk...
Time went on and one of the suspects AKA Lincoln Loud went on with his business as soon as he was sure that the investigation had gone cold.
Lincoln knew someone who can call in a favor and have him released without too many people asking questions but he only had so many on hand and didn't want to waste one getting out of jail for beating up such a pathetic weakling like Adam Dudley.
Lincoln was more preoccupied training for the tournament where he planned to face his brothers and old man, but first he needed some sparring partners to help him as he knew the Hanmas were the only other threat of the tournament as they were plenty of martial artists out there ready to show everyone just how strong they are.
Most what complete amateurs who had no business in a no hold bards fighting tournament but Lincoln knew there was a handful who were actually the real deal and that if you wanted to reach his old man and his brothers... he needed to train!

[Great Lake City]
Lori had currently parked Vanzilla in front of a large yellow apartment complex with a mercado nearby. She let out of sigh of relief as lately her life had been very stressful.
'Should I have told the police that Lincoln was involved in that fight at the school?!...No as even if they did arrest his there is no way our Small Town Police department would be able to hold a monster like him as he could easily bend those bars and take down those entire officers at the station without breaking a sweat...it wouldn't be the first time he did that.' thought Lori remembering when Lincoln beat up all those people ten years ago.
She could still recall the flashbacks as when she was a little girl when she saw that jerk Chandler lying on the floor beneath her brother's feet with one foot pressed against his face as the poor bully look like he had been mauled by a giant animal...She also remembers hiding behind a door as she watched everything that had happened before her brother looked at her with those eyes that she could swear were glowing red and that his muscles on his body did not look normal... especially his back as he wasn't wearing a shirt...
Lori quickly slapped herself as she did not want to recall any more of that memory and took a deep breath as she started using some yoga deep breathing exercises to calm herself down.
"You look like you've seen a ghost."said Lincoln as Lori screamed and fell to the floor before backing away from him.
"What are you doing here?!"asked Lori as she was sure Lincoln told their parents that his car was getting a clean up after Lana accidentally barfed in it the other day when he came to visit.
"I ran here."said Lincoln as he removed one of his earbuds as he had been jogging all the way from Royal Woods to Great Lake City non-stop for his endurance training.
"How on Earth did you get here just by running as it takes hours to get here and that is by vehicle?!"said Lori as her thoughts of her brother not being human were getting more and more inflated.
"I was actually running towards Great Lake City hours before you drove. I'm surprised you didn't notice me on the way into the city as you pass by me not too far from here."said Lincoln as he pulled out a towel from his jacket and began to wipe some sweat off of his face and arms.
"Why on Earth are you here Lincoln?!"asked Lori as she instinctually pulled out her pepper spray.
"You know that's not going to work on me right."said Lincoln as the Hanma blood made him practically immune to such weak pepper spray as you would need the original in order for that to work.
The original being the one Shinobi used during the Sengoku period which consisted of them putting chili powder and various spicy liquids into a hollow egg and throwing it at their opponent. That stuff certainly does sting and a normal human would be feeling it for days even weeks after exposure! He knew this after learning from some martial artists who specialize with weapons
"Just... just don't make me use this on you!"said Lori before she heard a commotion behind Lincoln.
She then remembered that Bobby warned her to be careful as a vicious gang of Alley cats had made this part of town their home and they would attack anyone who intrudes on their turf along with trying to constantly break into the apartment building.
The cats numbered in the hundreds as they were so closely packed so close to each other that they look like a giant wave of fur that was approaching Lincoln and Lori at a threatening pace. Lincoln noticed the expression on Lori's face and turned around to see the cats approaching him with their claws and teeth at the ready.
"GET LOST!"yelled Lincoln stopping the cats in their tracks as they looked at the young warrior with...fear.
The cats were not used to this as usually people came to this street were afraid of them but not him. Soon something else overtook the cats as they saw some kind of demonic Aura radiating from Lincoln as what stood in front of them was not a human it looked more like...a giant beast that was giving them one warning and only one warning to leave or else!
The cats upon their instincts screaming at them to run away began to flee with terror as a few of them coughed up some hairballs out of stress or started peeing on the floor before they retreated along with the rest of their comrades back into the alleyways where they came from!
Lori couldn't believe her eyes as these cats were not even afraid of giant dogs and yet her brother made them go away just by yelling at them! She honestly wasn't surprised but still it was an amazing sight for her.
"Lori I saw Vanzilla and came out here to help."said a young man about Lori's age with a broom as he quickly ran over to Lori.
Lincoln immediately recognized him as he hasn't really changed that much since the last time he saw him. He is Bobby Santiago, his old... probably former friend Ronnie Anne Santiago's little brother who was currently also Lori's boyfriend.
'He has been in love with Lori for years and I can't believe he actually had the guts to ask her out while I was away. It's good that she found someone who actually cares about her so much as it's clear in his face that he's afraid but he came out here anyway to try to help her out.' thought Lincoln as Lori stood up from the floor and hugged her beloved boyfriend.
"I'm okay boo boo bear."said Lori before Bobby noticed Lincoln.
"Lincoln..."said Bobby as Lori stopped hugging him as both of them looked at her older brother.
"Hey Bobby long time no see."said Lincoln nonchalantly as it certainly hadn't been a long time.
"You got out of prison."said Bobby nervously as he held the broom he was holding in a defensive position.
"Yeah I turned eighteen a few days ago so the courts couldn't hold me in prison anymore as I served out my sentence."said Lincoln as it was clear to him that Bobby has some animosity towards him.
"You have some nerve showing your face here after what you did to my sister!"said Bobby with anger...and fear as he looked at Lincoln with both.
"What are you talking about I never hit Ronnie Anne?"wondered Lincoln as Ronnie Anne wasn't anywhere near the school that day he beat up all those people and was arrested.
She was at the hospital because Bobby had accidentally landed on a cactus and she was with her mother to give him support as the doctors removed cactus needles from his butt...
"I'm not talking about that I'm talking about you leaving her behind and breaking your promise!"said Bobby as his fear was starting to be replaced with anger.
"Promise?"said Lincoln as he honestly didn't know what Bobby was talking about.
"You forgot!"yelled Bobby as he charged towards Lincoln with the broom!
"Bobby NO!"said Lori as Bobby was charging towards a Kamikaze mission as even though she loved him she knew he wasn't strong in a physical sense.
It was pretty clear based on his noodles arms compared to Lincoln's giant muscles who the stronger man was so Lori tried to grab Bobby but she missed by a few inches as her beloved boyfriend charged towards Lincoln with his broom.
Lincoln meanwhile stood where he was as he looked at Bobby nonchalantly as Bobby swung his broom with all the force he could muster... the next moment he knew he was on the ground. Bobby looked up and saw that Lincoln was now holding his broom.
"I used redirection to move you out of the way before you got hurt. You're no warrior Bobby Santiago so it's a fool's errand to try to attack someone like me unless you're prepared to suffer damage yourself."said Lincoln as he squeeze the wooden handle of the broom and easily broke it like he was squeezing a pencil.
Bobby looked at him with fear as that broom was made of high grade wood and even though it wasn't made of metal or anything like that, to be able to crush it like it was nothing but certainly scary.
"This is a lot weaker than bamboo. But it does remind me of the times I stayed in bamboo forests and swung bamboo like Miyamoto Musashi and broke them with one swing before switching to the next bamboo."said Lincoln as practicing with bamboo was one of the ways he made his grip strength to great.
Bobby looked like he was going to wet his pants but he still tried to charge towards Lincoln before Lori held him back and pull him away out of Lincoln's range.
"Bobby don't he's not worth it."said Lori who knew that Lincoln would eventually stop holding back if Bobby continued trying to hit him.
"Well it's been fun meeting you Bobby but I'm actually here for someone else."said Lincoln as he started to walk across the street.
"Leave my sister alone!"
"I'm not here to see Ronnie Anne but tell her I said hi."said Lincoln as he disappeared from sight.
Lori and Bobby mean while hugged each other as both failed to notice that someone had seen the whole thing from her bedroom balcony.
She was a young adult Latina woman with long silky black hair tied by a hair clip. She was wearing a purple t-shirt along with dark blue jeans and black sneakers. She had a noticeably curvy figure and some freckles on both of her cheeks.
She was Bobby's older sister and Lincoln's old friend Ronnie Anne Santiago.
She wasn't alone as there was another female about her age with her.
The female next to Ronnie Anne also had freckles on both for her cheeks and she had long brown hair and slightly slanted eyes. She was wearing a blue T-shirt with black athletic shorts and pink sneakers with a purse hanging on her shoulder. Like Ronnie Anne she also had a noticeably curvy figure.
She was Sid Chang, Ronnie Anne's best friends since they were eleven years old.
"Did he forget our promise?"asked Ronnie Anne with what look like anger.
"I don't know but man is he buff. His arms and legs look like they're going to rip out of his skin."said Sid as she always knew from what Ronnie Anne told her that Lincoln had always been buffed but never that buff.
"Sid come on we're going to follow him as I'm going to give him a piece of my mind."said Ronnie Anne as she and Sid started climbing down the fire escape to go after Lincoln.
Lincoln meanwhile entered an alleyway that was closed off with a noticeable keep out sign along with a metal wire fence with barbed wire. Lincoln just smiled as he used some parkour skills and jumped over the fence directly above the barbed wire like it was nothing. Soon a giant Rottweiler tried to bite Lincoln but Lincoln merely sidestepped out of the way at karate chopped the Rottweiler and the neck, knocking it out instantly.
"Sorry fella but I'm here to see your owner." said Lincoln as he walked into the court in the middle of the alleyway.
There a really tall man wearing a green athletic jacket with a hoodie and matching pants was currently shadow boxing by throwing powerful jabs and upper cuts at an unseen opponent. This person appeared to have been doing this for a while as there was clear sweat running down the part of his face that could be seen from his hood.
"Wilbur Bolt."said Lincoln loudly so that the man would turn around.
As he expected the man did turn around and pulled down his hoodie to reveal that he was an African American male with a shaved head and a extremely handsome face.
Lincoln knew that people would know that face instantly if they saw him on the street as he was Wilbur Bolt, the one time undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and fastest man in the world as he had the current record for the 100 m dash that he earned during the Olympics for his home country.
Lincoln knew that Bolt was a legend as he had silenced the world at least four times. The first time is when he broke the speed record at the Olympics a few years back as he moved so fast that he broke his starting block as he launched himself. The second time was when he announced that he would retire from running and decided to take up boxing. The World doubted that he could become a successful boxer as his powerful fast legs couldn't be used in the square circle and no one had ever seen his arms in action. But he once again silenced the World and shocked them a third time when he won his first boxing match in an almost one-sided battle!
The fourth time he shocked the world is when in less than two years he got a title match and won. Victory after victory he kept on winning until eventually he claimed the four heavyweight belts of all four major boxing organizations. Wilbur Bolt's story was that of a man of mythology and Lincoln does not doubt for a second that that his strength is like that of mythology as well.
Along with Kaolan Wongsawat, Muhammad Alai, Ricardo Martinez, Keith Dragon, David Eagle, Takamura Mamoru, James Shiba, and Carlos Medel there was no doubt in Lincoln's mind! Wilbur Bolt is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport and has no doubt that it underground fighting he would be a champ.
"So how did you find out where I was as no one, not even my manager knows where I disappeared to after my lost against Retsu Kaioh."said Wilbur who was surprised that someone was able to find him after he had gone off the grid and went off to some unremarkable city in some State where no one would ever look for him.
"Retsu told me where to find you before he was murdered. I'm sure you've heard about that Martial arts tournament that's going to happen in Japan in a few months."said Lincoln as he removed his jacket and shirt and threw them all to the floor.
Bolt certainly was amazed by the amount of muscle on Lincoln as he could tell he had the body of a warrior.
"Yeah any fighter worth his skill knows about that tournament."said Wilbur as he noticed an aura radiating from Lincoln.
"Well some of the participants in the tournament have a fighting style similar to yours so I decided to challenge of boxing legend and I thought who better than Mr Bolt himself!"said Lincoln as he took a fighting stance.
Bolt had not been the same ever since he experienced defeat for the first time at the hands of the deceased Chinese Kenpo master but seeing Lincoln stand in front of him and issuing a challenge so bluntly in his own hideaway certainly ignited the boxer's fighting spirit!
"I was planning a major comeback after I trained for a bit but I guess I need a sparring partner in order to see if I'm ready to return back to the ring!"said Bolt as he threw his jacket and pants away to reveal that he was wearing white boxing shorts underneath.
"I see I don't have to wait for you to get ready."said Lincoln as the Hanma blood running through his veins was starting to ignite with passion at the site of this powerful boxer and knew that he would give him a challenge!
