Hey guys here the next chapter of Beyblade: Loud it Rip! And the moment we've all been waiting for, the rematch between Lincoln and Chandler. Who will win said rematch? Well, let's read and find out.
The Loud sisters sat on the couch as they continued to watch their brother on tv. A few minutes ago, Lincoln had won his semi-final battle against Jared and had moved on to the finals. In a few moments their white-haired sibling would be going up against his rival.
"Ok, popcorn's ready" Lana said, sitting next to her twin with a big bowl in her lap.
"Is that really necessary?" Lola raised an eyebrow.
"We're about to watch Lincoln in the final round of his tournament. If this is going to be a huge battle, then we'll need something to snack on" Lana countered.
"She's got a point" Lynn spoke up, taking a handful of popcorn.
"They just went to commercial. I wonder what Lincoln's doing right now" Lori said.
The Tournament…
In the waiting room, Lincoln sat on a nearby bench, polishing his Bey. It was a rough second match, but he managed to come out on top. It was hard to believe that he made it to the final round, and against Chandler no less. This might be his toughest Bey battle in the tournament yet.
"Hey Lincoln" a voice spoke up. Looking up, he saw that it was none other than Ginka and his wife-to-be Madoka.
"Oh, hey Ginka, hey Madoka" Lincoln smiled at the two.
"Congratulations on making it to the finals" Madoka said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks" he replied, "But I couldn't have done it without the support of my sister, Leni… and you guys. Thanks again for giving me Wolf, Gingka" he looked at the red-haired blader.
"But I didn't give you it" Gingka spoke up.
"Huh?" Lincoln raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I may have helped you put your Beyblade together, but you're the one that chose Wolf and Wolf chose you. The blader chooses their Bey just as Bey chooses its blader" Ginka told him, "You two are connected, bonded through your blader spirit. Just like Pegasus and I" he added, holding up his own Beyblade.
"Whoa…" Lincoln looked at his Bey with amazement. "Do you think I'll have what it takes to beat Chandler?"
"You've grown stronger as blader" Madoka began.
"Just fight using your Bey spirit and believe in the power of your Beyblade and you'll be fine" Ginka said with a reassuring smile.
Lincoln gave a determined nod.
The Loud House…
"Something wrong, Leni?" Luna asked her slightly older sister, noticing the look of concern on her face.
"Nothing, it's just… Linky's come this far. Do you think he can win this?" the ditzy blonde asked.
"You kidding? There's no way our bro's going to lose to some self-centered poser like Chandler" Luna reassured, placing an arm over Leni's shoulder, causing a smile to appear on the older girl's face.
It was at that moment the door to the house began to open, revealing the kids' parents, Rita and Lynn Sr., the two having just finished running errands.
"Oh, hey girls, what're you up to?" Rita asked her ten daughters.
"We're just watching a tournament on tv" Lori replied.
"A sports tournament?" Lynn Sr. raised an eyebrow.
"Not exactly" Lynn said with a shrug.
"Where's your brother?" Rita asked, noticing that all the kids were present, save for her white-haired son. That's when their program came back from commercial.
Announcer: Welcome back, viewers. We have finally arrived at final rounds of the Royal Woods Beyblade Tournament! Our first finalist is the red-headed blader with the fiery finisher, Chandler!
The crowd at the tournament began to cheer.
Announcer: And facing off against Chandler is the white-haired blader with tenacious spirit, Lincoln!
"What?!" Lynn Sr. looked at tv in surprise.
"Did he just say Lincoln?!" Rita said with equal surprise.
The Tournament…
"Ok, Lincoln, this the moment you've been waiting for. The chance for your rematch against Chandler…" Lincoln thought as he walked up to the stadium. "We've come this far, haven't we, Wolf?" he looked at his Beyblade.
To think, he started off as someone that completely new to Beyblade, and now he's in the finals of first ever tournament and against his school rival, no less. In an ironic sense, he probably should've been thanking his sisters. If it weren't for them dragging him to the mall against his will that day, he might've not discovered Beyblade or have a new found love for it. And if most of them hadn't teased him about, he probably wouldn't have had the brother-sister moment with Leni, one of his motivations for getting this far in the tournament.
But now was the moment of truth. It was time for him to go up against Chandler once more. This final round would prove just which one of them was the stronger blader. Would it be the Chandler again, or would it be Lincoln this time? As Gingka once told him, the blader with the brighter spirit, the one who wants it more, is the one who comes out on top. This is it…
"You ready to lose, Lincoln?" Chandler mocked with a cocky smirk, standing at the opposite side of the ring.
"I don't plan on it, Chandler. Like I said, I've improved since the last time we battled" Lincoln countered.
Announcer: Alright, folks! Here it is, the final round of the Royal Woods Tournment. Bladers, are you ready?
"Ready!" Both boys aimed their launchers at each other.
"3… 2… 1…" The audience counted down.
"Let it rip!" the two bladers shouted, launching their Beys.
The Loud House…
"So, let me see if we have this straight. Lincoln got into a new hobby, the Beyblade thing and all of you, with the exception Leni, Lucy and Luna thought it was ridiculous…" Lynn Sr. began.
"And now he's in this tournament to prove a point that it isn't?" Rita raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, pretty much" Lori gave a confirming nod.
"Well, that and Linky wants to show this jerk from school that he's a strong blader" Leni added.
"Which, so far, he is" Luna spoke up, "I mean, the little dude made it to the finals. That's impressive if you ask me"
"I can't believe he's been in a tournament this whole time. I wish he'd told us, I would've loved to have seen his other battles" Rita said.
"They were pretty amazing, mom" Leni said.
"Although his second opponent literally just let him win" Lori added.
Announcer: The battle has gone underway. These two Beys have begun their attacks in a heated clash!
The Tournament…
The two hit each other head on with several blows, sparks flying from each collision. It was at that moment that a smirk appeared across Chandler's face.
"Not bad. I'll admit, you've gained some strength" Chandler began, "However, this is where it ends" At that moment Flame Leone began to spin faster, embers dancing around it.
"Oh no, this move again" Lincoln thought, gritting his teeth. "This is how he beat me in our last battle…"
"Special move, Flaming Lion Charge!" Chandler shouted.
Just as in their first battle, Leone was engulfed in flames and charged at Wolf. Lincoln clenched his fists in defiance. There was no way he was going to let Chandler beat him again, not after he had trained so hard. Not after all the help he had received from Gingka. Not after Leni…
"Leni…" Lincoln closed his eyes, his breathing becoming relaxed.
*clank* Flame Leone hit Lunar Wolf head on, sending its opponent flying into the air. It did a few flips before falling…
"Not this time" Lincoln muttered. It was at that moment Wolf landed within the ring.
"What?!" Chandler looked on in surprise. "Your Bey should've been sent flying after that. How can you still be in this?"
"Because I have my blader's spirit, as well as those that believe in me!" Lincoln said, pounding his fist to his chest as his Bey began to spin faster.
"Is that so? Well then, I guess I'll have to try harder" Chandler shrugged, "Leone!" he shouted.
Leone once again burst into flames and out of the face bolt came a pillar of orange light. The light then dissipated, revealing the Bey's bit beast, a flaming mountain lion. Leone then charged at Wolf and dealt another powerful blow to it, sending it to the opposite edge of the ring.
Lincoln chuckled as a smirk spread across his face. This was the battle he had been waiting for, a real battle against Chandler. And in that moment Lunar Wolf became engulfed with a midnight purple aura, one that reflected within Lincoln's eyes. If he remembered correctly, this was the same aura that made a dent in the tree the other night. It was as if the Beyblade could sense its blader's unyielding spirit. Suddenly the white-haired blader heard a wolf's howl.
"Wolf?" Lincoln looked questionably at his Bey, a little twinkle coming from its face bolt. The boy gave a nod, "Go, Wolf!" he shouted his Bey's name.
At that moment a faint purple beam of light shot out of the wolf-themed Bey. Within seconds, the light dissipated. In its place stood winged silver wolf with glowing purple eyes and glowing purple markings on its face and body. The winged wolf then let out a mighty howl. This was it, Lincoln's bit beast.
The Loud House…
Most of the sisters, along with their parents had their jaws dropped in shock. That thing that came out of Lincoln's toy was the thing that blader's called a bit beast, the spirit within their respective Beyblade.
"He did it! Lincoln finally unleashed his bit beast!" Leni said with excitement.
"That thing came out of Lincoln's dumb toy?"
"Damn, that thing's pretty rockin'!" Luna commented.
"Doggy!" Lily reached out her hands, as if trying to touch the bit beast on screen.
"Inconceivable! Holograms of should not be able to appear out of lowly plastic toys" Lisa said, crossing her arms.
"Actually, I took a look at it that time Lincoln was passed out, and it's made of metal" Lucy corrected.
"Either way, it's pretty cool-looking. Prepare to lose our bet, Lola" Lana said with a mouthful of popcorn, "Lola?" she looked at her twin, who could only keep her mouth slightly open in surprised silence. After a while, the girly twin spoke up.
"That's… That's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen…" Lola said at a loss for words.
"Get him, Linky!" Leni thought with a hopeful expression.
The Tournament…
"Go, now!" Lincoln commanded his Bey.
Wolf charged at Leone at high speed, a speed twice as fast as it's normal one. It went so fast that it vanished and reappeared beside Leone, striking it with enough force to send to the opposite end of the ring, causing the opposing Bey to create a dent upon crashing. Just what was going on here? It was like this aura had doubled Lunar Wolf's stats or something.
"So, you've finally managed to awaken your bit beast…" Chandler looked at Lincoln with a smirk. "But you're still no match for me and my Leone" just as before, Leone was engulfed in flames. "Flaming Lion Charge!" Chandler shouted.
"Go, Wolf!" Lincoln commanded his bey.
The two beys charged and hit each other head on, each clash sending out a small shockwave. Their bit beasts were depicted ramming their heads into each other. Before, Lincoln couldn't hold a candle to Chandler or his bey. But now? He was more than a match for the red head.
Wolf and Leone continued their clash. It appeared to be an even match. Although, if one were to look closely, Wolf was the one dealing more damage to Leone, attacking repeatedly with rapid blows. At this point, Leone was starting to weaken. Soon the two beys ended their clash, stopping at opposite ends of the ring. The two young bladers stared each other down. In their minds they knew they had to end and that only one could come out on top.
"Alright, time to finish this" Lincoln spoke up.
"I couldn't agree more" Chandler replied.
A moment of silence passed…
"Go, now!" the bladers shouted simultaneously.
Once again, the beys charged at each other and once again they clashed. This time though when they clashed, the intensity of their grinding caused a small explosion, creating a cloud of smoke. It was in this moment that one of the beys flew several feet into the air. When the smoke cleared, there was one bey still spinning within the ring. Lunar Wolf. This meant that the one in the air was none other than Flame Leone.
"No…" Chandler looked up with utter shock.
"It's over now" Lincoln spoke, a confident smirk. "Go, Wolf!" he commanded his bey.
Wolf then ran up the ring, launching itself into the air, flying past Leone. Wolf stopped in midair. The bit beast appeared, the wolf spreading its wings with a howl as an image of the full moon appeared directly behind it in the background. The markings on the wolf's body and head began to glow.
"Special move! Lunar Fang!" Lincoln shouted, raising his hand dramatically.
Wolf howled and flew down, the purple aura around it becoming sphere-like, giving it the appearance of a meteor shooting through the sky. It then hit Leone dead on, the wolf bit beast being shown biting down upon the mountain lion's throat. As the beys fell from the sky, Wolf slammed Leone into the ground, causing a pillar of purple light upon impact, which then vanished seconds later.
The explosion caused Leone to fly out of the ring, landing on the floor behind Chandler, the red-haired boy looking on in disbelief. The aura surrounding Lincoln's bey then dissipated, returning to normal.
Announcer: And the battle is over! The winner of the final round and the Royal Woods tournament is Lincoln!
The audience cheered.
"Heh. Yeah!" Lincoln smiled as he caught his bey in hand in a single motion.
The Loud House…
"He did it! Linky did it!" Leni cheered as she and Luna jumped with joy, having witnessed their brother's victory on tv.
The other sisters, as well as the parents looked at the tv in shock. Lincoln, their brother and son had not only just battled his rival, but also won the round and the tournament itself. What's more, he was finally able to unleash his bit beast and its special move.
"He actually won…" Lola said with disbelief, a loss for words.
"Pay up, blondie" Lana held out her hand. Lola reached into her pocket and handed her twin the money that they had betted on.
"And we thought it was literally just another dumb toy" Lori spoke up.
"Looks like our bro just proved you guys wrong" Luna commented.
The Tournament…
"Lincoln, congratulations on winning the Royal Woods tournament" the announcer said, standing next to Lincoln on stage.
"Thank you" Lincoln smiled.
"As reward for your victory, you've earned the trophy that shall be given you by the new director himself" the announcer told her.
"And that would be me" A familiar voice spoke up. Lincoln knew that voice.
"Gingka! You're the director?" Lincoln asked as Gingka and Madoka approached him, the trophy in Gingka's hands.
"Sure am. I had a feeling you'd come out on top. All you had to do was train and believe in the power of your Beyblade and you blader spirit. With that, you've more than earned this" Gingka said as he handed Lincoln the trophy.
It was a tall, golden trophy big enough to be cradled in one's arms. At the top was a golden Beyblade, and at the bottom there was a plate that read "Royal Woods Champion".
"And this…" Madoka placed a hand on his shoulder. The older woman then leaned in and planted a kiss upon the white-haired blader's cheek.
"Ba… ba… ba…" Lincoln was at a loss for words, an embarrassed blush across his face.
"Congratulations, Lincoln!" Gingka said to him as he and Madoka gave him a round of applause, the crowd cheering as confetti fell from the sky.
With a sense of pride within him, Lincoln smiled as he looked out into the audience. So, this is what it felt like to be a winner. To earn a trophy. To come out as top dog (no pun intended). In that moment he saw Chandler near the exit with his arms crossed as he glared at the white-haired boy. Without saying a word, Chandler exited the building, not even attempting to look back.
It seems that Chandler was one of those people that didn't take kindly to losing. Lincoln had a feeling that was only the beginning of his and Chandler's rivalry as bladers.
The Loud House…
Lincoln arrived at his house, getting off the bus with his new trophy in his arms.
"That was fun! And it only took a few hours" Lincoln said as he walked up the sidewalk, before noticing vanzilla in the driveway. "Huh, looks like Mom and Dad are home. If I'm lucky, maybe no one will notice me walking in"
However, fate would not be very kind. For when Lincoln opened the door, he was greeted by his family smiling at him.
"What?" Lincoln looked at his family with confusion.
"That was good battle you had, sweetie" Rita spoke up. Lincoln's eyes widened in surprise. They knew?!
"Dang it, Leni! I told you to keep it a secret" he glared at his second oldest sister.
"I tried, but then the tv showed your tournament and—"
"You were awesome, Lincoln!" Lana spoke up, interrupting Leni. "And that wolf beast was awesome too!"
"Uh, thanks, Lana" Lincoln said with a raised an eyebrow. "Hold on a sec…" Lincoln walked over to the trophy case and placed his new trophy into his part of the case before returning to his family.
"Lincoln, we're sorry for making fun of your new hobby. You're actually pretty good at from what we've seen" Lori spoke up.
"And you managed to win that whole tournament, too" Lynn added. The other sisters that made of Lincoln apologized to him as well.
"Thanks, guys" Lincoln smiled at his sisters.
"I'm so proud of you, Linky! You won!" Leni said as she happily scooped him up into her arms, embracing him in a tight hug.
"I know, I've got the trophy to prove it" Lincoln said playfully.
"You did me proud. And here's your other reward" Leni spoke. Lincoln gave a confused look before his sister leaned in and rapidly planted kisses all over his face.
"Heh heh. Leni!" Lincoln chuckled as he felt his sister's affectionate assault before she stopped and nuzzled her cheek against his.
Well, one thing's for sure, with a family of ten sisters, at least Lincoln knew Leni would always be there for him with moral support… and affectionate hugs and kisses.
Lincoln had won his first tournament. But this only the beginning of his journey into the world of Beyblade.
And there's the end of chapter 7 and the end of this mini Royal Woods Tournament arc. You know how these anime go: the main character wins a tournament and just when think it's all over, some evil dude rises up and wants to take over the world.
I'll let you guys give your ideas of what kind of villain Lincoln should face in the future. Oh, and what kind of Beyblades should his friends have as well?
I thank Omega Ultra and Gamelover41592 for helping me out.
