Hey guys, here's chapter 3 of Beyblade: Loud it Rip! This'll be the chapter where Lincoln trains his ass off for the upcoming tournament.

An average afternoon. The Loud house was living up to its name as the Loud sisters were doing their own thing. Lori was texting her boyfriend, Bobby. Luna was playing music in her room with Luan doing one of her comedy acts. Lynn was practicing doing parkour in the hallway. The Lucy was working on her poems somewhere in someplace dark. The twins were playing a game where Lola was a princess and Lana was a dragon. Lisa was doing science experiments and Lily was taking a nap.

Where was the sole boy of the family, you ask? He arrived at the house, breathing heavily as he entered with an exhausted look on his face.

"Hey Linky!" Leni gleefully greets her brother as she walked up to him. "I haven't seen you since this morning. What's up?" Leni asked, smiling.

"Oh, just… been practicing for… several hours. Now I just need to…" Lincoln breaths heavily. There was a short pause before the weight of exhausted body gave in, causing him to lose his balance.

"Whoa there!" Leni caught her brother in her arms before could fall to the floor. "You ok, Linky?" she asked worriedly.

"Heh, don't worry about me… I-I'm fine…" Lincoln said reassuringly, attempting to force himself back up… only to fall back into his sister's arms. "Ok, I maybe a little tired…" Lincoln admitted, slowly closing his eyes before falling asleep in Leni's arms.

"Heh. You've always got to play the tough guy. Don't you, baby brother?" Leni thought as a smile crossed her face.

The blonde teenager then scooped her brother up and carried him upstairs to his room. She then tucked him into his bed and kissed his cheek, wishing him a good nap.

[2 hours later]

"Ah. Leni must've carried me to bed after I passed out. I must've been more exhausted than I thought" Lincoln as he stretched his arms, waking up from his nap. The boy looked around to see his Beyblade, launcher and ripcord resting on his dresser. "Alright, you ready for some more training, Wolf?" Lincoln said to his Bey as he held it in his hand. "It's a good thing I trained with Gingka earlier…"

[Flashback]

At around 9am in the morning in the back Royal Woods Mall. After Madoka had returned Lincoln's repaired Bey to him, Gingka offered to do some practice in order to prepare him for the upcoming tournament. Madoka was there to watch as a spectator and to analyze how Lincoln battles.

"You ready Lincoln?" Gingka asked the young boy.

"You bet I am" Lincoln replied with a determined smirk.

"Alright, boys, this'll determine Lincoln's skills as a blader, so let's have a clean battle" Madoka told the two bladers. "3… 2… 1…" she counted down.

"Let it rip!" The boys shouted as they launched their Beys. The two Beys soon circled around each other…

"Go, Pegasus!" Gingka commanded, his Bey rushing in at its opponent.

"Wolf, take Pegasus' attack head on!" Lincoln commanded his Bey to do the same.

The Beys clashed, sparks emanating from them as they hit each other repeatedly. Pegasus pulled back, and then charged at Wolf, hitting its opponent with light taps. Pegasus went around its opponent's sides and attacked repeatedly.

"Gingka's pretty good with his Pegasus. But Wolf won't go down so easily…" Lincoln thought. "Go, Wolf!" he commanded his Bey to attack back.

"Not bad, Lincoln. But…" Gingka smirked as he looked at the opposing Bey, noticing that it was beginning to lose stamina. "It's time to end this" Gingka said as Pegasus charged past Wolf and went up a nearby tree until it launched into the sky.

"Whoa…" Lincoln looked in amazement.

"One of Pegasus' signature moves…" Madoka thought as a knowing smile appeared on her face.

"Special move! Pegasus Star Blast Attack!" Gingka shouted.

Pegasus came down in a blue beam of light like a comet entering the atmosphere. Lincoln's Wolf was then sent flying as Pegasus crashed into it, landing in front of Lincoln.

"Aw, man…" Lincoln hung his head in shame as he picked up his Bey.

"Hey, it's ok, Lincoln" Madoka reassured, a sympathetic look on her face.

"Yeah, you did better than you did in your battle against Chandler" Gingka added with support.

"But I wasn't able to unlock my bit beast, was I?" Lincoln asked rhetorically, looking at them with a disappointed expression. The two older people glanced at each other, and then at Lincoln.

"Don't worry, you just need a little more practice" Madoka said.

"I'm always up for another battle. How 'bout it?" Gingka equipped his Bey, preparing for another battle. Lincoln looked at the man for a moment. He smiled and gave an approving nod.

[End of Flashback]

"But I still have yet to unlock Wolf's bit beast or its special move…" Lincoln thought, attaching his Bey to the launcher. "Luckily, I don't know when to give up" he added.

Lincoln was now in the backyard, the full moon shining down upon him. A light breeze blew, making his hair blow slightly in the wind. He could the sound of a wolf howling in the distance. The boy took a deep breath as put his finger on the ripcord. 3… 2… 1…

"Let it rip!" Lincoln shouted, launching his Beyblade with force. "Go now, Wolf!" Lincoln commanded.

Wolf ran across the backyard and up the nearby tree, taking weak branches down along with it. The Bey reached the top of the tree before running down it. It then ran up the slide and launched itself onto the roof. It moved itself into the gutters, removing the leaves and gunk as it spun.

"Ok, this is good. Now it's time to-"

"Lincoln! Time for dinner!" his mother, Rita called from the kitchen.

"Be right there, Mom" he called back. Wolf leaped from the roof and went back towards Lincoln where he caught it his hand.

Dinner had begun not too long ago in the Loud house as everyone had gather around the table. Tonight the family was having lasagna and they were sharing how their day went.

"And that's what Bobby and are doing for our date this Saturday" Lori concluded her story.

"I'm sure you and Bobby will have fun, Lori" Rita said, smiling. She then turned her attention to her son and noticed he was chowing down his food pretty fast. "Slow down, sweetie. You don't want to choke" Rita told Lincoln cautiously.

Lincoln swallowed his food. "Sorry, Mom" he said.

"Now, how was your day?" she asked him.

"Oh, uh… I didn't really do much…" Lincoln replied, looking off to the side nervously.

"What do you mean, Lincoln? You passed out in my arms today" Leni said with an innocent smile as if it were no big deal. Lincoln face palmed, mentally cursing his dimwitted older sister.

"You passed out today? Are you ok?" Rita asked with concern in her voice.

"Nothing. Just… training" Lincoln said.

"Oh, what? Did you play with that lame top so much your arms got sore?" Lynn asked mockingly. She and the other girls, with the exception of Leni and Luna, shared in a laugh at Lincoln's expense.

"N-No, what I do is serious!" Lincoln replied, shooting them a narrow eyed glare.

"Lincoln's right, girls. His little hobby is serious…" Lola said with a fake smile.

"Thank you, Lola, I-"

"Seriously lame!" the pageant princess cut Lincoln off with an insult, causing the girls to once again laugh at their brother.

Lincoln growled under his breath, his fists clenching.

"That dumb little toy of yours literally isn't as impressive as you think. You know it's just a worthless little spinning top, right?" Lori said, placing the final nail in the coffin. That did it. Lincoln inhaled deeply…

"May I be excused, please?" Lincoln asked with restraint.

"Yes, honey, you may" Rita said to the white haired boy.

Lincoln got from his seat and walked out of the kitchen, returning backyard once again. Most likely he would resume his training. See the annoyance on her brother's face, Luna nudged Leni and motioned her head in Lincoln's direction which silently told her to follow him.

"I'll go talk to him" Leni offered, getting up from her seat as well, heading to the backyard in an attempt to cheer up her only male sibling.

"Stupid sisters. Why do they always have to gang up on me?" Lincoln asked. "It's bad enough that I lost to Chandler the other day, and the girls aren't making things any better" he added as he equipped his Bey to the launcher.

[Flashback]

"Flaming Lion Charge!" Chandler shouted.

Upon saying his Bey's special move, Leone was soon engulfed in flames and charged at Wolf. Upon making contact with the opposing Bey, Leone not only pushed Wolf back, it sent it flying out of a stadium. Lincoln could give a shocked look of disbelief as Bey fell beside his feet.

"Hmph" Chandler snickered as he caught his Bey in his hand. "It's bad enough you can't use your Bey's special move. But you can't even summon the Bit Beast itself? How sad" Chandler said. "If you can't do any of that then you don't deserve to call yourself a blader" he added before turning his back towards Lincoln and walking away.

[End of Flashback]

"What if Chandler's right? What if I don't deserve to call myself a blader?" Lincoln asked himself, putting his finger on the ripcord. "What if I'm not strong enough to enter the tournament?" he tightened his grip. "What if…"

Without thinking, Lincoln tugged hard on the ripcord, causing Lunar Wolf to go off course. They wolf Bey ricocheted off the tree and hit the slide, which then caused it to bounce off the roof and crash into the ground near Lincoln's feet.

Picking up his Bey, the boy let out a sigh of defeat.

"Linky…" he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind. Lincoln looked over his shoulder to see his second oldest sister.

"Oh, hey Leni" Lincoln greeted her, a bit of upset in his voice.

"What're you doing out here?" Leni asked, approaching him.

"Uh, nothing, just…" Lincoln trailed off, facing her, choosing to hide his Bey behind his back.

"Does it have to do with your seesaw?" Leni guessed.

"Seesa- you mean my Beyblade?" Lincoln corrected. Leni nodded, leading Lincoln to sigh. "It's nothing serious. Besides, I doubt you care…" he told her.

"Of course I do. C'mon, I'm sure it's not that bad" Leni smiled placing a hand on her brother's shoulder. "Tell your big sister what's wrong" she said she sat on the ground, allowing Lincoln to sit in her lap with his back against her.

"Well, Chandler beat me in a Bey battle the other day and it's got me all bummed out. Plus, there's the girls insulting me. It feels like the odds are stacked against me. Like I'm not good enough to be a blader" Lincoln said as he looked at his Bey.

"Aww, it's ok. You're good blader in my eyes. Even though mom says you're not supposed to play with knives" Leni said reassuringly. Lincoln gave a deadpan expression before continuing.

"But what if I'm not good enough to enter the tournament or even beat Chandler?" Lincoln asked.

"It's just a toy, Linky. A cute, little toy" Leni said, rubbing his head.

"To you and the girls, maybe, but this is really important to me! That includes my Bey, Lunar Wolf, as well as my blader spirit" He said "And I still have yet to unleash my bit beast or unlock its special move" he added with a worried expression.

Leni's expression softens, "Lincoln... you need to realize that this isn't that important. Yes, winning is great thing, but you're going to end up like lynn!"

"Oh man, that's the last thing I want!" Lincoln said. "But what if-"

Lincoln was silenced by Leni placing a finger on his lips. The older girl lifted the boy's head to look up at her. She bent down and planted a kiss upon his forehead, "I'm sure you'll come up with something!" Leni whispers as she lightly pinches her brother's cheek.

"But Leni-" Lincoln was cut off by Leni once again placing her finger on his lips.

"Shh, I trust you…" she said, softly stroking his head.

A smile formed across Lincoln face as he looked into his sister's eyes. He turned around in her lap and threw his arms around her waist. "Leni…" Lincoln muttered her name as her affectionately nuzzled her chest, to which Leni returned by hugging him back.

After a few seconds, Leni broke the hug.

"Now show me what you and your Beyblade thingy can do" Leni encouraged as they got up. Lincoln nodded.

Lincoln pulled out his launcher and attached his Beyblade to it. He looked over her shoulder to Leni who nodded, silently telling him to go for it. There was a pause as Lincoln began to think. Leni had said some amazing things, things that helped him to only bring back, but also boost his confidence. A smile formed across Lincoln's face. He took a deep breath and…

"Let it Rip!" Lincoln shouted as he launched his Bey. "It's not every day I say this, but Leni's right. It doesn't matter if I beat Chandler or win the tournament, so long as I have fun doing it" Lincoln thought as his Bey charged forward. "Go, now! Lunar Wolf!" Lincoln commanded.

As Wolf picked up speed, a midnight purple aura surrounded it. The Bey charged towards the tree as it had done previous times before. Only this time, when it crashed into it… *crash* The Bey had left into the tree. And not just any dent, it was a dent that went halfway through the tree itself, smoke emanating from it.

"Whoa…" Lincoln said with shock and amazement.

"That was amazing, Linky!" Leni threw her arms around the young blader, holding him close to her chest as she hugged him.

"Yeah, it sure was…" Lincoln replied, sill in a state of shock. Not a second later, a smirk appeared on his face. "Beyblade Tournament here I come! Get ready, Chandler because you're about to meet a whole new Lincoln Loud"

And there's the end of Chapter 3. Lincoln got some training from Gingka as well as some motivational advice from his loving big sister, Leni. Next chapter will be the day Lincoln's been training for: the day of the Royal Woods Beyblade tournament. What will happen at the tournament? Only way to find out is to read the upcoming chapters. See you then.

I'd like to thank Omega Ultra for his help.
