Hey everyone, it's been a while but here's the next chapter of Beyblade: Loud it Rip!
It's a beautiful day in Royal Woods and Lola and Lana are at the mall. Lana seemed to be looking for a specific store, but Lola seems worried about something.
"I can't believe you managed to talk me into this Lana." Lola said with a hint of fear in her voice.
"What are you worried about? You were as interested in this as me." Lana replied, her hands on her hips.
"I know, but you know as well as I do that if… no, when Lincoln finds out about this, there's NO WAY he's going to let us live it down! And rightfully so, after everything that we said." Lola said.
"Don't worry, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Besides, we have plenty of time. You know how much Lincoln hates this place." Lana said.
"Yeah, but-" Lola started to say, before Lana cut her off.
"We're here!" she said, the twins arriving at their destination, the bey shop.
"Well here goes nothing." they said before entering, "Woah" they said upon entering,
"Look at this place. This is where he got Wolf? It looks like one of those Build-a-Bear Workshop places, only with pieces of spinning tops." Lola said,
"How are we supposed to do this?" Lana asked.
"Can I help you girls?" The twins turned to see Madoka with a smile on her face,
"Oh, yes. Do you work here?" Lana asked.
"Actually, I own this place. Hi, I'm Madoka Amano. Soon to be Hagane" she said while admiring her engagement ring.
"I'm Lana, and this is my sister Lola. You helped our brother get a bey, and we want beys of our own." Lana said, with Lola silently agreeing.
"No problem! I'd be happy to help you!" Madoka said. Soon she was showing the twins around, "On these shelves you'll find everything needed to make a bey. Over here, you'll find the performance tip. These determine the bey's movement, balance and stamina"
The twins approached the shelf and found a performance tip to their liking, a silver one for Lana and a golden one for Lola.
"Over here, you'll find the spin track. These go on top of the performance tip, and determine the bey's height and it reacts to getting hit under the fusion wheel." Madoka said.
Lana found a gray spin track, while Lola picked out another bright pink one.
"Over here, you'll find the fusion wheel. It goes on top of the spin track and determines the bey's attack power." Madoka said.
Lana picked out a silver one that appeared to be kind of bulky, while Lola picked a golden one that seemed more streamlined.
"Over here, you'll find the energy ring, which goes in the fusion wheel, and determines the spin and spin direction." Madoka said.
Lana picked out a gray one, while Lola picked out a bright pink one.
"You really like the color pink, don't you, Lola?" Madoka asked, a smile on her face.
"Oh yeah," Lola replied.
"Anyway, here you'll find the face bolts. They hold the whole thing together, and provide the bey its identity." Madoka told them.
"Woah, there's so many. And they all look so cool." Lana said.
"Which one should we go with?" Lola asked, when all of a sudden,
"Hey Madoka!" they heard Lincoln's voice call out.
"You don't think…" Lola asked.
"No. It couldn't be..." Lana answered.
"Oh, hey Lincoln, you're just in time!" Madoka said as Lincoln appeared, "I Just finished the repairs on Wolf A few minutes ago."
"Awesome. Thanks, Madoka!"
"No problem. Just let me finish up with these—" Madoka cut herself off midsentence, discovering that Lana and Lola had disappeared, much to her confusion. "That's weird"
"Something wrong?" Lincoln asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I just had a pair of customers here interested in building beys. They were in the middle of picking out their face bolts. I wonder where they are." Madoka told him.
Lincoln wondered what she meant, when he caught a whiff of something familiar to him.
"Oh well. Let me get that bey out for you."
"Thanks Madoka." Lincoln smiled.
Meanwhile unbeknownst to either, Lola and Lana were hiding under a table.
"What's Lincoln doing here?" Lola asked.
"Madoka said she finished repairs on Wolf. Lincoln must be here to pick it up." Lana said,
"I thought you said we would have plenty of time!" Lola growled.
"How was I supposed to know?" Lana shot back.
"Hey Madoka, is Gingka in?" Lincoln asked.
"Gingka?" The twins asked in unison.
"He's down in the food court with some old friends of ours discussing plans for the wedding, I'd join him if it weren't for my busy schedule." Madoka said.
"Must be her fiancé." Lana said, before a clattering sound can be heard. "What was that?" she asked before seeing something roll their way.
"What's this?" Lola asked.
"Looks like those face bolts Madoka was talking about." Lana said.
"Alright Lincoln, here he is." Madoka handed Lincoln his bey.
"Awesome, Madoka. He looks as good as new! Thanks" Lincoln said.
"Anytime Lincoln, anytime." Madoka said.
"I should probably get going now. Maybe I'll be able to catch up to Gingka in the food court." He said before leaving.
"Alright, bye Lincoln. Tell everyone I said hi!" Madoka shouted. Lana and Lola decided to take this as their chance to come out of hiding. "Oh there you guys are. Oh, and you found your face bolts! Mind if I take a look?" She asked, holding out her hand.
The twins obliged, with Lana's having a design that looked like a lizard and Lola's having a design that looked like a unicorn's head.
"Lacerta and Striker, excellent choices girls." Madoka said.
"Wait, isn't Lacerta Latin for lizard?" Lana asked.
"Indeed. There are some variations to what a bey's face bolt takes inspiration from. Some are based on deities, others on mythological creatures, but most of them are based on constellations, like your guys'" Madoka told them. "Lacerta is based on the same named lizard constellation, while Striker is based on Monoceros, the unicorn constellation."
"UNICORN?!" Lola asked with glee.
"Yes, that's right" Madoka nodded.
"We'll take them!" The twins said together.
"Excellent, you just have to put them together" Madoka said. Soon, the twins had formed their beys, "Now, all you have to do is name them. Just go with something that feels right."
Lana looked at her bey, "Hmm. You know, this color scheme I picked out reminds me of metal. That's it, I'll call it Iron Lacerta"
While Lola was thinking about something else, "This face bolt is called "Striker", right?" she asked, Madoka replying with a nod. "Huh, when I think of striking, I think of thunder and lightning. That's it! Lightning Striker!"
"Excellent, now you girls have your own beyblades." Madoka said.
"Thanks, Madoka!" The twins said in unison.
"Come on, Lola, let's try these bad boys out!" Lana said. And soon the twins left to find somewhere to try out the new beys.
The Loud House…
After their little trip to the mall, the twins came back home, their new beys in hand. The two of them were in the backyard getting ready to test them out.
"So, how does Lincoln do this again?" Lola asked, looking at the top in confusion.
"I think he first takes this out." Lana said, pulling out a gray launcher while Lola pulls out a white launcher, "Puts this thing here" Lana inserted the ripcord, Lola doing the same, "Places the bey here." She placed Lacerta beneath her launcher, with Lola doing the same with Striker. "Then points it all at the opponent" both of them doing so, "Then pulls this thing and launches the bey." They both launched their respective beys. Immediately, 2 things were apparent. While Striker was nimble and agile, Lacerta was sort of sluggish and slow, "Wow Lola, Striker sure is fast." Lana commented.
"Yeah." Lola said. Striker then started attacking Lacerta where another thing was made apparent. What Lacerta lacks in speed, it makes up for in defense, "But Lacerta's defenses sure are strong"
Lacerta then attacked Striker, showing off its strong attack as well as its defense. "And its attack is just as strong" Lana said, impressed.
Striker then attacked Lacerta again, also showing off excellent attacking skills, "Striker isn't too bad on that front either." Lola said, "You know, I'm starting to see what Lincoln sees in this game!"
"Yeah, it's actually kind of fun!" Lana commented. "Hey, why don't we try summoning those cool animal things like that winged wolf Lincoln was able to summon!" Lana said out loud.
"That sounds like a good idea! Just one question. How are we supposed to do that?" Lola said, raising an eyebrow.
"I... don't know." Lana admitted. Then, all of a sudden, a flyer blows into the yard, catching the twins' attention. "What's this?" Lana asked, "Woah. Check it out, Lola, there's another beyblade tournament happening tomorrow, and it has a tag team format."
"Tag team format?" Lola asked.
"Yeah check it out. Teams of two battle it out, testing their blading skills as well as their teamwork. Many teams will enter, one team will win" Lana read the flyer out loud, "Why don't we try entering?"
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Lana? We only just got these things and we're not even sure how to summon those animal things like the one Lincoln summoned" Lola said, looking at her bey for a second, and then at her sister.
"Yeah, but we know some stuff about our beys. Plus, with the stuff we do know, we could cover for each other" Lana replied, "I could use Lacerta's high defense to cover Striker's low defense, you could use Striker's high speed to cover Lacerta's low speed, and we could work together to conquer the tournament and learn more!" she added.
"When you put it like that, I'm in. Let's do it!" The two high fived, in agreement. However unbeknownst to either of them, someone was watching them with a smile on their face.
The Tournament…
Some time had passed and the day had come for the twins to enter their tournament. Coincidentally, it was the same building their brother had his tournament. The difference being that there were a lot more people. Which made sense since, this time around, it was a tag team tournament. The twins arrived at the check in counter.
"Excuse me," Lana said, the receptionist turned her attention to the girls.
"We wish to enter the tournament please." Lola said.
"Alright, no problem. You're just in time, too. We only have enough room for one more team. Just fill out your information here and your sign up will be complete." The receptionist said, handing the girls a clipboard with a signup sheet with two sections, one for each of them to fill out. Soon they had finished the sign up and handed the sheet back to the receptionist. "Thank you. Let me just record this information. Names: Lana Loud and Lola Loud. Oh, you girls are sisters, huh?" she asked, to which the twins nodded. "You wouldn't happen to be related to that Lincoln Loud boy who won the tournament held here the other day, would you?"
"He's our older brother." Lana said.
"I see. Want to be like him, huh? How cute." The receptionist said. Lola opened her mouth to say something, but Lana cut her off, shaking her head, saying it wasn't worth it. "Now, let's see… Ages: 6 for both of you. Beys: Iron Lacerta for Lana and Lightning Striker for Lola. Alright, you girls are all signed up. You're in group B."
"Group B, What does that mean?" Lola asked.
"Well, you see, the chairman decided to do this tournament a little differently. With each team separated into two opposing groups, each team battles another team from their group. At the end of the tournament, the winning teams from both groups will battle it out for the championship." The receptionist explained.
"Alright." The twins said.
"Come on Lola let's find someplace to do some extra training before our first bout." Lana told her sister.
"Good idea. And maybe we'll be able to figure out how to summon those cool looking animals like Lincoln's winged wolf." Lola said as they went to go train.
In the room that twins were in they had found a nice little corner to practice in.
"3..." Lana counted down.
"2..." Lola added.
"1..." they said at the same time.
"Let it rip!" the twin launched their beys. As the twins were practicing, they noticed a couple of things that have been made apparent since they first started.
"Wow Lana," Lola said, "Lacerta's defense is way stronger than before!"
"Yeah, and Striker is definitely faster. If we can manage to use these in the tournament, we'll be able to get the teamwork down, no problem." Lana said.
"But we're still not sure how to summon those animal things yet. We tried all day yesterday during training, but we couldn't figure it out." Lola said. Lana looked like she was about to say something, when she felt something buzzing in her pocket.
"Looks like it's our time to shine, Lola. Are you ready?" Lana asked, calling her Bey back.
"Let's do this!" Lola replied, calling her Bey back as well.
As the twins headed towards the stadium, the figure from before looked at them, before heading to the stands.
Now it was time for the tournament to begin.
And that's the end of this chapter. I could've shown some of the battles in this chapter, but it'll be more exciting if I do it in the next chapter.
