Hey everyone, welcome to chapter 6 of Beyblade: Loud it Rip! This chapter will show Lincoln's battle in the semi-finals as well as the rest of the sisters joining to watch the battle on tv. Now, let's being
Lana had finished getting herself something to drink. Having poured herself a glass of orange juice, she walked into the living room and noticed three of his sisters on the couch watching tv.
"Hey guys, whatcha watching?" Lana asked, taking a drink from her glass as she next to her twin.
"A tournament" Lola told her.
"Why?" Lana asked. Luna pointed to the tv, to which Lana looked in the direction of.
Announcer: It's the start of the semi-finals. Here are the four bladers that will be participating in the second round of the tournament!
What Lana saw on tv made her eyes widen in shock and take spit take of her onto Lola.
"LANA!" Lola glared at her older twin.
"Hey, guys, come down here! Lincoln's on tv!" Lana called the rest of the girls from downstairs.
"What?" Lynn questioned.
"Lincoln?" Lori gave confused looked as the rest of girls walked downstairs from their rooms (Luan carrying Lily).
The girls were as surprised as Lana because what they saw was indeed in fact Lincoln, their brother, on tv.
"No way. That literally can't be Lincoln on tv" Lori said with disbelief.
"Well it is. Baby bro made it into the semi-finals!" Luna said, throwing up the goat horns.
The Tournament…
The semi-finals had at last begun and was time for the bladers to step up to the playing field.
"You've got this, Lincoln. Just remember that Leni's cheering you on back home. You've gotta win this for her" Lincoln told himself mentally as reached the stadium.
Lincoln's opponent, Jared, was on the other side of the stadium, giving him a confident smirk.
"I hope you brought your A game, Lincoln because I plan to win this thing" Jared said.
"Heh, I'm gonna give this all I got, Jared" Lincoln replied.
"3…" the audience started the countdown.
"2…" Lincoln and Jared aimed their launchers at each other.
"1…" the countdown finished.
"Let it rip!" both bladers shouted as they launched their Beys.
Lincoln's Bey circled around the stadium, gaining speed. Jared's Bey though, stayed in center, spinning casually. Once Wolf had enough speed, Lincoln seized his opportunity to strike.
"Go now, Wolf!" Lincoln threw his arm out, commanding his Bey.
Wolf charged at Quake Rhino and attacked head on. However, upon impact, it was repelled as if it had barely done anything at all. Wolf then spun to Lincoln side of the stadium.
"Impressed? My Quake Rhino is a defense-type Bey. You won't even make it budge" Jared told the white-haired boy.
"A defense-type Bey, huh? And you say I won't be able to move it? We'll see about that" Lincoln said with a smirk crossing his face.
Circling around the stadium, Wolf once again gained speed. Once at top speed, Lincoln's Bey charged at Quake Rhino. It attacked head on with a volley of hits, causing the defense-type bey to flinch a bit. With a bit more force, Wolf hit Rhino with a strong attack, pushing it back a bit.
"Well, I stand corrected" Jared said. "Still though, this is pretty fun. Am I right?" he looked at his white-haired opponent with a smirk.
"Yeah, though, what're your reasons for being here?" Lincoln asked the heavy boy.
"Me, I just joined this thing to have fun and maybe make some new friends. You?" Jared raised an eyebrow.
"I'm here to have fun too, but also to prove a point. I'm here to prove that I'm not weak…" Lincoln said, "And to prove to my sisters that what I do isn't lame"
"They said Beyblade was lame? That's pretty harsh" Jared replied.
"Yeah, but I'll prove everyone wrong" he told him, "And I'll do that by winning this tournament!"
The Loud House…
Lincoln: And I'll do that by winning this tournament!
"Woah, Lincoln sounds serious about this." Luna said, crossing her arms over her chest as she watched her brother's battle unfold.
"Lincoln…" Leni whispered his name as she simply stared at the tv.
"Lincoln's got a long way to go though. He's literally made little damage to his opponent" Lori commented.
"He's in the semi-finals, that's not too bad" Lana spoke up.
"I'll only be impressed if he makes it to the finals and wins" Lola said with an unimpressed expression as he she looked at her gloved hand.
Luna, Leni and Lana rolled their eyes. They then went back to gazing at the tv, watching their brother do his best in the tournament.
The Tournament…
"Well, that's one reason to enter this thing. You're going to have to get past me if you want to get to the finals though" Jared said.
"Don't worry, I plan to. Which is one of the reasons why…" Lincoln began with his eyes closed, "I can't lose here!" his eyes shot open with a determined gaze.
Upon those words being said, Lunar Wolf began to spin at a faster rate than before. It was as if Lincoln's blader spirit was increasing its power.
"Well, you certainly have the determination. Let's see if you have what it takes to back it up" Jared looked at Lincoln with a smirk.
"How's this for skill? Go, Wolf!" Lincoln commanded his bey.
Wolf charged at Rhino head on and hit it full force. Unlike like last time, this one time it was able to push it back a few feet. Looks like he was able to make it budge after all. Wolf kept up it attack with a barrage of hits.
"Not bad but try this on for size" Jared began.
At that moment, Quake Rhino released a pulse of green energy that pushed Lunar Wolf back a few feet. At that moment, out of the defense-type Bey's face bolt came a pillar of green light. When the light dissipated, out came a green rhino with glowing eyes, clad in spikey rock armor.
"Him too? Oh, man, I think I know what happens next…" Lincoln thought, a bead of sweat running down the side of his face.
"Special move, Quaking Stampede!" Jared shouted as his bey released another pulse of energy.
The pulse caused the arena to shake like a miniature earthquake. Suddenly, out of the ground came spikey pillars that came towards Wolf, shooting it into the air upon impact. As Lunar Wolf fell from the air, Quake Rhino charged like the animal it was based off.
"Wolf!" Lincoln shouted his bey's name.
Regaining control of itself, Wolf dodged its oncoming opponent, landing safely. Having missed its target, Rhino slammed into the wall of the ring. With that said, having used its special move, missed its target, and slammed into wall, Quake Rhino had lost some of its momentum.
"That's the downside to using that special move. Every time its used, Quake Rhino loses some of its defense power…" Jared thought, gritting his teeth with a drop of sweat running down the side of his face.
"Jared's bey lost some of its momentum. Does that mean it lost some of its power as well?" Lincoln asked himself in his head as he eyed his opponent's bey. "Only one way to find out…" he added, "Go, Wolf!"
Lincoln's bey charged at its opponent and hit it with a strong attack. This attack caused Rhino to be pushed to the edge of the ring, confirming Lincoln's suspicions.
"Dang it…" Jared said, having watched his bey get pushed back.
The Loud House…
"Alright, Lincoln! Now you're getting somewhere" Luna commented, a smile crossing her face.
"Uh, what's going on?" Lynn asked, slightly confused.
"Jared used the power of his bey to try and damage Lincoln's bey, but he missed his opportunity and lost some of that power" Lucy explained to her athletic older sister.
"Oh, I see" Lynn said, understanding.
"But why doesn't Lincoln use his own special move and finish the job?" Lana spoke up.
"Linky has unlocked his special move yet or unleashed his beast thingy" Leni told her. "But, I think if he continues to believe in himself then he'll unlock it eventually"
"I have a feeling that Linc's going to unlock it during the final round" Luna said.
"IF he makes it to the final rounds that is" Lola said, rolling her eyes.
"You should probably have more faith in our brother, Lola" Lana told her girly twin, "Why don't we make a bet? Twenty bucks says he not only makes it to the finals, but also unlocks his special move and wins" she added, pulling out a twenty-dollar bill from her back pocket.
"I'll take you up on that bet" Lola smirked slyly at her tomboy twin.
The Tournament…
"This maybe a little risky, doing this a second time, but I don't have much choice…" Jared thought to himself as his and Lincoln's beys clashed. "Special move, Quaking Stampede!" Jared shouted.
Just as before, Quake Rhino had released a pulse of energy that had pushed Lunar Wolf back. And just like before, it created an earthquake that shot spikey pillars from the ground. Wolf, however, was able to move out of the way in time to avoid the pillars. It then circled around the ring and hit Quake Rhino, sending it flying into the very pillars it created. Again, Rhino had lost a bit of its momentum.
"Probably not the best idea to do that move more than once, huh?" Lincoln said with a cocky smirk.
"Yeah, I should've known better than to do something like that" Jared said, rubbing the back of his head.
"And it looks like your bey is running low on power" Lincoln said, taking notice of his opponent's bey.
It was true, having used its special move twice had taken its toll. It was still spinning, sure, but it was wobbling from side to side, having been weakened. Jared saw this as well. The heavy weighted blader thought for a moment, concluding that there was only one way to end this.
"Do it" Jared spoke up.
"What?" Lincoln looked at his opponent.
"Knock my bey out of the stadium" Jared told him.
"You serious?" Lincoln raised an eyebrow.
"You said yourself, Rhino doesn't have much energy left" Jared began, "Besides, I'd rather lose by a stadium-out than have my bey lose all its energy and lose by a sleep-out" he smiled.
"He'd go down battling rather than lose energy. That's very honorable" Lincoln thought to himself, "Alright, but only because you asked me to, Jared" Lincoln nodded, "Go now, Wolf!"
Lunar Wolf charged at its opponent and hit it with full force, knocking it out of the ring and into Jared's hand, resulting in a stadium-out.
Announcer: This battle is all over! The one moving on to the finals is Lincoln!
The crowd cheered as Lunar Wolf returned to its owner's hand.
"Wasn't expecting that. I kind of wanted battle him a little more. But I guess what's done is done, nothing I can do to change it" Lincoln thought to himself as he looked at the bey in his hand.
The Loud House…
"Yay! Linky made it to the finals!" Leni cheered, jumping up and down as the semi-finals ended.
"I told you he'd make it to the finals" Lana gazed smugly her twin.
"I'll admit, him getting to the finals is impressive. But he still has to actually WIN the tournament and unlock that special move thing if you want to win the bet" Lola said, pointing out the fact.
"Speaking of which, who's he going up against?" Lynn asked, raising an eyebrow.
"By my calculations, he should be going up against—"
Announcer: Chandler wins! Chandler will be moving on and facing Lincoln in the final round of the tournament!
"Err… Yes, him" Lisa said while adjusting her glasses.
"That's the guy that Linky wants to beat" Leni thought, a concerned expression on her face.
"Chandler? That kid that used Lincoln into getting free stuff from my job?" Lori spoke up, "Ok, if my little brother's going against that punk, then had literally better win this thing" she said, crossing her legs as she narrowed her eyes.
"We'll let's see how it turns out" Lynn crossed her arms.
"Linky…" Leni looked at the tv.
The Tournament…
"I'm going up against Chandler in the finals…" Lincoln said, looking at the screen that showed his and Chandler's faces.
"Hey, Lincoln" Jared spoke up, getting the white-haired boy's attention, "Do me a favor. Whatever happens, promise me you'll take that bastard down and wipe that smug look of his face" he said with a clenched fist, a serious expression upon his face.
"Don't worry, I plan to" Lincoln said with a confident smirk. Jared nodded as he walked off to watch the upcoming final round, "Or lose trying…" Lincoln thought.
Unknown to him, Lunar Wolf began to shimmer with a faint purple light.
That's the end of this chapter. Rushed? Maybe, but I wanted to get to the final round as soon as possible. That and I'm pretty sure most of you just wanted to see the rematch between Lincoln and Chandler anyway, so there you go. I might bring Jared back someday if I feel like it.
I thank Omega Ultra and Gamelover41592 for helping me out.
