A/N: Here we are with part 2.

Anywho, enough of the lark, I shall see you…AT THE BOTTOM!

Lincoln entered the arena and stood toe to toe with the 15-year-old while sporting a 'I'm gonna kick your ass' glare on his face. "Alright, you know the rules and that shit." The referee said as the two shook hands, but Lincoln squeezed the 15-year-olds hand with all his might, and he yelped a bit while pulling back. They went to their corners before the referee began the match.

"Ready…BEGIN!" The referee said as the boys began doing Ginga and Ethan did the 'Bênção' kick, but Lincoln moved under his kick by using the 'Esquiva' technique. Then Lincoln did the 'Aú Aberto' technique to move away from Ethan, but a little bit of his hair got in his eyes and Lincoln thought it was his chance to use his special move on him. Lincoln got ready and used the 'Escorpião' move on Ethan and knocked him down. But he got right back up after 2 seconds on the arena mat. The referee gave them one minute to hydrate at their corners before continuing the match.

Lincoln went back to Fabien and he was smiling. "Well done, Lincoln. I didn't think you'd use the Scorpion kick I taught you months back." Fabien said as the other students agreed. "I just saw an opening and I decided to take it." Lincoln said as the referee called him back over.

"Ready…continue!" The referee said as Ethan came at Lincoln with a technique called 'Martelo em Pe' but missed Lincoln's face by inches since the white haired 12-year-old moved his head in time. Then, Lincoln looked at Fabien and smirked but immediately got knocked down by a 'Martelo de Negativa' technique. But Lincoln put his hand under him, balanced all his weight under it and did a handstand on one hand and then was able to put himself back on his feet.

Ethan was surprised and looked at the timer on the wall. It showed he had a minute left before the round was over; so, he wanted to knock Lincoln down before it ran out or he would look like a total loser to his sensei.

They started to do Ginga again and this time Lincoln was ready. The white-haired-boy did the 'Aú de Frente' technique and got right in Ethan's line of sight. Ethan was so concentrated on the clock, didn't see Lincoln do the 'Gancho' technique on him; he even hit him in the face too. Ethan hit the floor mat like a ton of bricks and was down for the count!

"1…2…3, you're out!" The referee said as he then grabbed Lincoln's hand softly and raised it in the air. "We have a winner! Lincoln Loud is the new Capoeira Champion!" The referee announced as Lincoln's team members and sensei ran over to him and congratulated him.

Everyone in the crowd was cheering and chanting Lincoln's name! To the 12-year-old, it felt amazing to win something that he never tried before, but now, he was soaking in all the attention.

After the crowd died down, the judge of the Capoeira Tournament rewound the footage that was recorded on their professional camera's for safety reasons and saw Lincoln used a legal technique on Ethan. The judge's name was Justin Patterson, and he went over to the French Foxes team and gave them their Capoeira trophy that stood 4-foot-tall; it was made of real gold too!

The whole French Fox team got into frame for a picture that Fabien would keep at his gym for the success. After their picture, the tournament was now officially over until next year. The team piled into the bus and got dressed back into their other clothes while Fabien drove back to their hotel.

"Lincoln, come here for a minute." Fabien said as he stopped at a red light. Lincoln got up from his seat and went to sit next to Fabien.

"What you did back there was unbelievable in all of Capoeira history. I'm proud of you." Fabien said as he smiled too.

Lincoln smiled too and went to sit with the others and talk until they got back to their hotel. As soon as they got to their hotel, they all took a nap before Fabien decided to take them to get dinner at one of the coolest seafood restaurants ever!

The rest of the night was absolutely amazing fun; Fabien, Lincoln and the others all had the time of their lives in Baton Rouge that night. But Fabien decided to take them to visit all types of attractions around Baton Rouge for Spring Break since Lincoln had won the Capoeira Tournament.

As the 17th of March approached, Fabien had everyone get ready to head back to New Orleans by the early Sunday morning of 5am. Everyone woke up, took turns taking a shower and got ready to go.

"Man, I had so much fun here. What about you guys?" Lincoln said as he stretched while putting on a black polo shirt with blue jeans.

"Totally worth it for Spring Break." Dakota replied.

"It was so much fun. I'd do it again." James said as the others agreed too.

"Alright guys, let's get our bags on the bus, so we can beat the traffic." Fabien said as everyone got their bags ready and onto the bus, so they could get home before the sun could rise.

As everyone was settled in their seats, they decided to sleep on the way home, since they were not in the mood to play early morning UNO either. As Fabien drove, he remembered Lincoln's 'Gancho' technique he used on the Indonesian Crocodiles and won the tournament. He couldn't stop smiling at that moment.

A little while later, they were all back in New Orleans and the early morning sun had finally risen. Fabien was dropping off Lincoln when he pulled up to his house and saw all motorcycles in the front yard.

"Lincoln, you're home." Fabien called as Lincoln woke up and got his bags ready. He high fived his friend's goodbye and got off the bus when Fabien opened the door.

"See ya, Sensei." Lincoln said as he got off the bus to go inside.

As Lincoln walked inside, he saw all the Expendables at the kitchen table playing poker and drinking coffee. "Hey guys, I'm back." Lincoln called out as the Expendables saw him and smiled. "Hey kiddo, good job on winning that tournament." Tool said as Lincoln's eyes went wide.

"Wait…how do you-?" Lincoln was cut off when Toll Road pointed to the recorded tournament showing on the TV. It showed Lincoln using his technique on Ethan; and Lincoln looked pissed when he used it. "We decided to see if it was showing the whole thing on TV and it was. So, we watched it and saw you and your team were participating too." Caesar said as Lincoln put his bags away and came back out to the living room to watch the program.

"We also saw how that one kid fucked up your friend's ankle on live TV. That was completely uncalled for. Such a wanker." Lee said as he shook his head but smiled at Lincoln. "Yeah, I had to take over for Dawson after his ankle was snapped outta place by one of the teams dirty cheating." Lincoln explained as he took a seat at the table.

"Did you eat breakfast in Baton Rouge before coming home?" Toll asked as he shuffled the cards for the game.

"Yeah, we stopped at McDonald's before coming home." Lincoln explained as he went to get an apple juice bottle from the fridge. "Anyway, why don't you go work out for a couple hours to burn off those calories." Toll suggested as Lincoln drank his juice and went to go work out.

For the next 3 and a half hours, Lincoln worked on his calves by doing Calf Raises, Jumping Jacks, Hole Calf Raises and Jumping Calf Raises. As he worked out, he pushed himself beyond his limit but being careful not to overdo anything in the process.

Lincoln knew his life was perfect with the Expendables since he was working for them and the CIA. After his workout, Lincoln went to take a shower, so he didn't smell like sweat all day.

After his shower, Lincoln got dressed in some lounge clothes that consisted of first putting on his compression wear on the bed so he could put it on in a bit. He remembered he missed a skype call from his family on Christmas Day after he got back from training at the gym, so he decided to call everyone and ask how their Christmas was.

He set up his scenario and put his jumpsuit on before setting up the call. He checked everything before calling his mother. Lincoln waited a bit before his mother picked up the call and smiled when she saw her son. "Hey mom. Whatcha doing?" Lincoln asked. "I'm just in my room reading a book. What about you?" Rita asked as Lincoln pulled his out his new Airsoft UDR-15 that came with his Airsoft mystery box from Christmas.

"I got this for Christmas. I'll show you the other stuff later. I got a new microphone and webcam for my laptop, which I'm using now." Lincoln said as Rita went wide eyed. "That's nice. Want me to get the girls, so they can talk to you?" Rita asked as Lincoln nodded.

"Yeah, but don't leave me hanging, and have Pop Pop there too." Lincoln said as he winked. "Okay, one second." Rita said as she got up to get the girls and Pop Pop. Lincoln waited and rested his chin on his hand and made himself look kind of sad. "Girls, come into the living room, now!" Rita yelled in the house as Lincoln waited for them to come to the phone. As he saw them, he tried to put on a smile.

"Hey girls. How was your Christmas?" Lincoln asked as Lori was the first to speak.

"It was literally the best! I wanted to get you a card, but I don't know if juvie will let you keep it." Lori said as Lincoln shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah dude, I think you should at least get visits or something in person. This is such a bummer." Luna said as Leni then spoke.

"I miss you Linky. It, like, feels as if a bullet hit me in the heart." Leni said, getting a strange look from everyone.

"I miss you bro. I'm also sorry for being a dick. I had a dream that you came home a year later, and we played sports and had lots of fun." Lynn Jr said as Lincoln cocked an eyebrow.

"It depends on the judge for my sentence for your information. Plus, I'm exercising here in juvie by jogging around the yard, lifting weights and doing pushups too." Lincoln said as he took off his orange jumpsuit shirt to reveal his toned abs and arms, which got every bit of his sisters to blush.

"Girls look; I have to pay the piper on this one. Okay?" Lincoln explained as all the girls' heads went down.

"I miss you all too, but let's face it; I might not get out of here for another 9 years. All that matters is that I'm in school here in juvie and I'm gonna be able to do work detail too for them as well." Lincoln explained as Lana jumped in.

"What work are you doing?" Lana asked as Lincoln told her.

"I'm doing cafeteria maintenance by cleaning tables and the lunch trays too while also cleaning cells after extractions from certain inmates that make a mess with feces and blood." Lincoln said as Lola went green.

"GROSS!" Lola said as Lana smacked her in the back on the head.

"Knock it off prissy princess!" Lana snapped as they started a good old fight tumbleweed.

"Anyway, I gotta go in a minute. I'll call you guys again soon. Love you." Lincoln said with faint smile as everyone said goodbye, even Lola and Lana stopped their fight to say goodbye, only to continue right after.

"Bye honey." Rita said as Lincoln hung up the skype call.

41 days had passed, and it was now April 27th on a beautiful sunny Saturday. Lincoln was learning Goju-Ryu and Wado-Ryu Karate in the backyard of Toll's house with Lee and Yang. The two Expendables had been training Lincoln since the snow melted back in the middle of February. They wanted Lincoln to know and learn every technique that there was in Karate. Lincoln already knew Shotokan and Kenpo Karate; but he still needed to learn other Japanese martial arts from sources that Yang knew in Kyoto, Japan, where he planned on taking Lincoln in the summer to train at a friend's temple he owned.

Lee was teaching Lincoln all types of techniques; Kicks, Punches, Hand Strikes, Blocks, Elbow Strikes and Basic Strikes too. They spent the whole afternoon working on their techniques until it was time for the two men to make like a baby and head out of this mother.

Lincoln thanked the two and went to take a shower before dinner. As Lincoln was taking a shower, Toll left a note on his door letting him know he went to head to Tool's for a bit. The demolitions expert had to figure out what to get Lincoln for his birthday, since it was coming up.

The man drove until he got to the tattoo shop. Tool had just finished up inking a lovely young 19-year-old freshman in college by giving her a thigh tattoo. After Toll Road got to the shop and gathering the men, he sat down on a stool and announced what he had been waiting for.

"Well, Lincoln's 13th birthday is coming up. Any ideas for his gifts?" Toll said as the guys thought.

"I was thinking of getting him an Airsoft shotgun." Caesar suggested as Toll thought it was a good idea.

"I planned on taking him to my friends' dojo in Kyoto to learn Aikido, Iaido and Kenjutsu for the summer as a late birthday present from me." Yang said as the guys liked this idea.

"I got him some MMA gloves and even a practice wooden samurai katana with a sheath." Gunner said as Yang was surprised to hear the Swede talking about samurai stuff.

"Well, I got him a wallet for when he carries cash and identification with him. I also got him a cap that has the New Orleans Saints logo on it and an Airsoft Ace in the Hole revolver like mine." Barney said as he showed the others the pictures of the gifts.

"Well, I'm thinking of getting him either another mystery package from Airsoft or just another plain rifle. I'm not sure yet." Toll said as shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I got Lincoln some new socks, some Royal Flush Throwing cards with a guide to throw them, some nice throwing knives, a new custom Xbox One controller, GTA 5 for the Xbox One and a new Airsoft XTP Shark pistol." Lee said as he showed the others the picture of the pistol and the knives.

"I think that'll help him a lot in the field when the time is right. I also got him a gun rack for his Airsoft guns to put in his room." Tool said as he wiped down the paint bottles and cleaned up.

"I think we're all set for the kid's birthday then. We'll just give him his presents, say 'Happy Birthday', hang for a bit and leave." Barney said as the others agreed to the plan.

The day went on until Toll went back to the house to cook dinner for him and Lincoln.

5 Days Later (Lincoln's Birthday)

It was May 2nd on a Thursday morning, and Toll woke up around 6am to start the day. As he got on his clean clothes for the day, he heard scratching on his bedroom door. He opened the door to find his and Lincoln's dog, Abbey, begging for attention.

"You want outside?" Toll said with a smile as the dog ran to the backdoor and put her paw on it. Toll opened it and let her run out to do her business.

Then, he went to wake Lincoln up since the sun started to come up over the horizon. As he entered Lincoln's room, he saw the hacker curled up in his blankets. Toll smiled and sat down in the computer chair.

"Lincoln, wake up." Toll said as he shook the hacker awake. Lincoln opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

"Morning Toll." Lincoln said with a different voice that Toll widened his eyes too. "Lincoln, your voice…it's different." Toll said as he stood up slowly. Lincoln raised his eyebrow slowly. "What do you-" Lincoln stopped when he heard his voice. The pitch of his voice went down a couple notches.

Toll smiled as he knew what was happening.

"It's puberty kicking in. It's about time to be honest that your balls dropped." Toll said as he cackled, but immediately getting a wad of socks to the face from Lincoln. "Let me take a shower before we eat." Lincoln said as he got out of bed and pulled his clothes out for the day; a brown v-neck henley, black jeans and blue converse was Lincoln's choice of clothes for the day. As he went into the bathroom to turn the shower on, Lincoln noticed something about his height; he shot up about 2 more feet and was almost the same height as Yang.

"I gotta be at least 5 foot 2." Lincoln said to himself.

He couldn't believe puberty was already kicking in, and it had kicked in so well that he had grown taller. He had wondered how tall he was going to grow when he turned 21 too. As Lincoln took off his clothes, he also noticed he was starting to get pubic hair down on his crotch; it wasn't a lot like an adult, but it was there. He even noticed his hair was getting a bit longer too, it even was starting to cover his eyes a bit.

He got in the shower and started to scrub down with the shampoo he got for Christmas. The only thing Lincoln hoped didn't kick into too much was his hormones; he didn't want to have to rub one out when he was needed.

After his shower, Lincoln got dressed and was ready for the day. Then he went to the kitchen to see Toll Road cooking scrambled eggs and waffles for breakfast. "I guess I'm gonna have to get used to my voice being a little bit lower now." Lincoln said as Toll couldn't get over the fact that Lincoln's voice had went down a bit.

"By the way, we're not gonna be throwing a big party for your birthday like last year. The guys are just gonna come over and give you your presents, hang for a bit and leave." Toll explained as Lincoln nodded.

After their breakfast, Toll dropped Lincoln off at school where he saw his friends in homeroom. "Hey Lincoln! Happy Birthday!" Dakota said as he saw the white haired 13-year-old walk into the classroom.

"Thanks Dakota." Lincoln said as his new voice made his friends raise their eyebrows.

"Dude, what's with your voice?" James asked as Lincoln sat down in his desk. "I'm going through puberty, apparently." Lincoln said as he got out his stuff for the day.

Later, around lunch time, Lincoln was sitting in the cafeteria at a table with Dakota and the others went he felt a pair of arms wrap around his neck in a loving way. "Hey you. Happy Birthday." It was Bonnie, and she was smiling.

"Thanks Bonnie." Lincoln said as Bonnie's eyes went wide to his voice.

"It's puberty kicking in." Lincoln said as Bonnie now knew while Lincoln kissed her cheek. Dakota and the others threw the wolf whistle while Lincoln and Bonnie blushed bright from their teasing.

"I'll call you later tonight." Lincoln said as the two kissed once more before Bonnie went back to sit with her friends at another table on the other side of the cafeteria. Lincoln smiled as he watched his girlfriend walk away. He even looked at her rear end and slapped himself mentally as his hormones kicked in.

Later, it was time to head home. Lincoln went to get on his bus when he saw Dexter get on too. I hope Dexter would stay away this time, Lincoln thought. As he got on, he sat in the front of the bus while he sensed that Dexter and his posse were staring right at him from the back of the bus.

Lincoln listened to music on his phone while he waited to be dropped off at his drop off point. As he listened to his music, he felt something hit the back of his head; it was a spitball from a little piece of paper that was in one of the boys' mouth. Angry, he threw it to ground and didn't pay Dexter and his goons no mind.

As soon as the bus stopped at the drop off point. Lincoln quickly got up and got off the bus and jogged towards the house. But as soon as Lincoln was almost at the steps to the house, he felt someone grab his shoulder, turn him around and cheap shot him with a fist to the jaw.

He took a few steps back, fell to one knee while clenching his jaw with one hand and saw it was an 8th grader who punched him. The 8th grader had messy black hair, grey eyes, stood an inch taller than Lincoln and wore a red tank top that had a bulldog logo, black jeans and black vans.

"Are you the one that beat up my little brother?" He spoke as Lincoln was not scared one bit and nodded.

"Yeah, what's it to you? He kept picking on me and put his hands on me, so I defended myself." Lincoln said as the 8th grader's vein on his head was starting to show.

"Everyone at the school knows not to mess with the Blanchard family! Not even some white-haired reject like you will put our family in disgrace!" The 8th grader said as Dexter came up behind him with his posse backing him up.

"Randy, you said I could take care of him." Dexter said as his older brother eyed him and nodded. His arm had healed to the fullest and Dexter got in a regular boxing stance.

"So, you're a southpaw? I see." Lincoln said as he put him backpack down and got into his usual Karate stance.

"Are we going one at a time or is it a free for all?" Lincoln said as he smirked. Dexter then came at him with a punch, but Lincoln dodged it in time for an uppercut elbow straight to Dexter's nose, busting it even further than the last time.

Next, Lincoln chopped Dexter in the throat to make him breath hard.

Then, Lincoln did a full-on shoulder throw on Dexter that made him land super hard in the grass.

One of the goons then came over and tried to grab Lincoln, but he was ready. He put both hands at the back of the goon's head and drove his knee into his gut, knocking the wind out of him immediately.

The next goon wrapped his arms around Lincoln like before, but Lincoln decided to slam the heel of his foot onto the goon's toe which made him release Lincoln. He then got into position to perform a hard shoulder throw which made the goon land super hard on his back, hurting him in the process.

It was Randy and Lincoln now since all the others were down. "You gonna admire the view or are we finishing this?" Lincoln said as he got into his stance once again. Randy got into a boxing stance and came at Lincoln.

But the hacker had other plans; he then did a strong tornado kick to Randy's jaw and knocked him down instantly. Lincoln then grabbed his ankle, twisted it and broke it.

"AHHH! Goddamnit!" Randy screamed as he tried to crawl away. But Lincoln stepped on one of his hands and looked down at the 8th grader.

Full of fear in his eyes, the 8th grader stopped and looked at how pissed Lincoln was.

The hacker crouched down and looked straight into Randy's eyes. "If you, your brother or his posse ever come near me again, I swear to god, I'll do more damage to you than a freaking broken ankle. GOT IT?!" Lincoln screamed as Randy nodded in surrender.

Randy sat up a bit and looked at his downed brother and their posse. "Oh, and just for safe measure." Lincoln said as he quickly turned around and cheap shot him with a right hook to his jaw.

"Don't ever make me have to deal with you again." Lincoln said sternly as he picked up his backpack and went into the house.

As he shut the door, he saw all the Expendables sitting at the table looking straight at him, but they were smirking.

"What are you smirking at?" Lincoln asked as all men's eyebrows, except for Toll Roads, raised to his new voice.

"Jesus, did a girl yank on your bollocks or something?" Lee asked as Lincoln rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, Toll Road already established that this morning." Lincoln chuckled as he then saw his presents on the table and floor. Barney noticed the look and smiled. "Happy 13th Birthday kiddo." Barney said as Lincoln went over to open his gifts as everyone watched and smiled. Toll Road noticed Lincoln's hair was getting a bit long, so he decided to let Caesar give him a trim.

So, Caesar trimmed Lincoln's hair a bit and made sure it was still long.

A little while later, after the other Expendables left, Lincoln went to put his new gifts away and went to work out on his biceps before dinner was ready. After he was done working out, he went to take a shower and get cleaned up. After his shower, Lincoln got dressed in his usual compression wear and went to examine his new Airsoft guns, when his skype was ringing. "Must be Dakota." Lincoln said to himself as he checked who it was calling him and saw it was his mom.

He answered it but he made sure it was only a voice call only. "Hey mom. What's up?" Lincoln asked his mother.

"Happy 13th Birthday, honey." Rita replied as Lincoln smiled. "Where are you at right now? Lincoln asked as Rita turned on her camera to show herself at work. "I'm at work. I'm just about to go home soon. What did you do today?" Rita asked as Lincoln turned on his camera to show he got a haircut. "I got a haircut, presents and my voice dropped a bit." Lincoln said as his mother fixed her hair.

"I noticed that. I can't believe my baby's 13-years-old now. I'll try to come down there around when summer hits." Rita replied as Lincoln's cheeks turned pink.

"Well, Yang's gonna be taking me to Japan to learn more martial arts at his friend's dojo." Lincoln said as Rita went wide eyed.

"Japan? That's nice. I hope you be on your best behavior while in a foreign country." Rita said as she got her stuff ready to go home.

"Mom, I know. Plus, we're gonna be there for the whole summer." Lincoln said as his mother was surprised to hear that her son would be spending his whole summer at a Japanese Dojo.

"I've always wanted to go to Japan when I was a teenager; but your grandfather didn't have the money to send me there to visit a family friend at all." Rita explained as she was starting to daydream.

"Anyway, I gotta get going now, mom. I'll call you again soon." Lincoln said as she understood and nodded. "Bye honey." Rita said as the skype call ended.

19 Days Later (Tuesday, May 21st, 2017)

After being in his last class on the last day of school felt like life went by quick for Lincoln in 6th grade. He knew that Yang promised to take him to Japan for his late birthday present and for the whole summer. But it wasn't for another week that he would take him since he would have to get in contact with his friend in Japan before they could go.

Lincoln took the bus home and saw that no one was following him home. That's a good sign; finally, Lincoln thought. As soon as he got home, he went to work on his abs in the workout room. After 2 hours of nonstop perseverance while doing Sidekicks, Walking Lunges, Forearm Planks, and Isometric V-ups; he got in a good workout that was alright for the day. Lincoln went to take a shower to clean himself off and freshen himself up.

He got his clean clothes ready on his bed as usual and went to take a shower. As he turned on the shower and stripped out of his clothes, he saw he had a straight up 4 pack of abs.

"Hot damn, I guess working out for a full year does this to my body." Lincoln said to himself as he smiled and looked down at his legs too and saw they had muscle on them. His biceps were toned up to the point too. As he got in the shower, he scrubbed down his entire body like always; the water felt good on his skin.

Lincoln rinsed off and turned off the water. As he got out, he took one last look at his abs and chest. "I just love how much I've changed. I swear, Lynn would be jealous of my body." Lincoln said to himself as he wrapped his towel around his waistline and walked into his room to get dressed.

Lincoln went up to his bed to get dressed in his compression nightwear.

As he was about to put on compression shorts, his bedroom door opened. "Lincoln?" It was Becky.

"I'm changing. Give me a few minutes." Lincoln called to her as the door shut immediately closed.

Lincoln finished slipping on his compression wear and went to open his bedroom door. "Hey, you're good now." Lincoln said as the teenager walked back in and took a seat in the computer chair. Lincoln slipped on his black cargo pants and black henley while Becky was texting.

"So, whatcha got planned for summer?" Becky asked as Lincoln smiled before explaining his plans. They talked for a bit until they heard a familiar voice.

"Lincoln! Where are you?" It was Toll Road. Lincoln went to see what his caregiver wanted.

"What's up Toll?" Lincoln asked as Caesar was there too. "The guys and I are gonna go out for drinks. So, since I see Becky's truck out front, she can watch you for the night." Toll said as Becky came out of the room for a drink.

"Hey Josh, what's up?" Becky asked as Toll explained that he and the guys would be going for drinks for a couple hours and not be back until late.

"I can watch Lincoln. It's no problem at all." Becky said as Toll smiled, nodded and left with Caesar.

As they heard their bikes leave the house, Becky and Lincoln went back into his room to talk. "So, is there anything that you wanna do tonight? Anything exciting or fun that you got planned?" Lincoln asked as Becky shook her head and sat on the bed with her shoes off and legs crossed while texting on her phone.

They talked about their summer vacation plans when Becky's phone rang. "Hello?" Becky answered as she recognized the voice. "Oh hey, Charlotte. What's up?" Becky asked as she sat up.

"Well, I want you to come over and have some fun with me. Maybe bring a friend…that is if you want." Charlotte said as Becky perked up.

"You want me to come over and have a girl's night? That sounds great." Becky said with a smile as Lincoln was cleaning the insides of his Airsoft pistols when Becky hung up.

"So, you're gonna be heading to your friend's house to spend the night?" Lincoln asked as Becky nodded. "Yep." Becky said as she then thought of something. "Do you wanna tag along and stay the night with us?" Becky asked as Lincoln looked at her with a surprised face.

"You want me to spend the night with you and your girlfriends?" Lincoln asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean, why not? It'll be fun. I mean, both of us are 19, and your only 13. What could go wrong?" Becky reminded Lincoln as he asked one more question. "There's no drinking there, right?" Lincoln asked as Becky's face dropped.

"That was not my fault. I admit, I drank too many shots of whiskey and a friend drove me over here that one early morning." Becky said as Lincoln smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Fine, I'll go with you. Let me pack a bag of overnight clothes and my laptop." Lincoln said as Becky smiled and texted her friends that she'd be on her way. Lincoln was bringing his laptop that wasn't plugged into the wall and wasn't being used by his webcam, microphone and mouse.

Lincoln finished packing an overnight bag and even carried a leg knife holster to keep one of his knives with him, just in case. "You ready?" Becky asked as Lincoln nodded and the two got in her truck and headed towards Willows Apartments in Seabrook. As they drove, Becky's phone started to ring again. "Yeah, what's up?" She asked as she heard friend on the other side, so she put it on speaker.

"Hey Becky, we're gonna order Italian pasta for dinner, is that okay with you?" It was her friend Charlotte.

"Yeah, that's fine with me. I'll give you a twenty-dollar bill to pay you back if you can order me some shrimp linguini with chicken too." Becky replied.

"Okay. Anyway, you said something about you bringing a friend with you?" Charlotte said as Becky smiled. "Yeah. He's as cool as a cucumber. Trust me." Becky said as Lincoln smiled at her.

"Okay. We've got drinks too. And no, I didn't buy any alcohol. I bought juice and soda." Charlotte said as Becky and Lincoln were happy about that part.

They pulled up to the apartments and Lincoln followed Becky to the upstairs and to a room where it showed to have some new paint that had been done. Becky knocked and waited until a girl opened the door. She was around Becky's age and height of five foot ten, who had black hair that was in a ponytail, she was wearing a black t-shirt with baby blue pajamas that were hanging a little low and were showing her black panties a bit. "Hey Charlotte." Becky said as both teens smiled.

"Hey Becky." Charlotte replied as she then saw Lincoln and flipped out in total cuteness.

"And who's this cutie pie?" Charlotte said as she bent down and softly touched Lincoln's cheek with her icy cold hand. Lincoln shivered a bit before blushing.

"C'mon in. We were just about to watch some movies. We're just waiting on the food to arrive, so we can start our girl's night." Charlotte said as Lincoln and Becky walked inside the apartment to see a nice small L-couch with an entertainment center that had a TV on it in the living room and a gaming console to watch movies on. There was also a nice dining set table in the kitchen.

There was also 1 room that had a full-size bed with a dresser and a small table with a laptop to do work on and there was a basic bathroom. "Nice place you got." Lincoln said as Charlotte smiled and sat down on the couch while smiling. "Thanks. It was my moms, but she had it transferred to my name, so I can stay here for college. I usually get my work done on the computer anyways. By the way, the name's Charlotte. What's yours?" Charlotte asked as Lincoln smiled and sat down on the couch too.

"Lincoln Loud." Lincoln replied as he smiled and stuck out his hand to shake Charlotte's. They shook hands and talked for an hour. Charlotte was happy to know Lincoln was born and raised around sisters to which he'd help them with makeup and use beauty products too.

All was well, until relationships and sex were brought up.

"So, have you French kissed a girl before, Lincoln?" Charlotte asked as Lincoln choked slightly on his Gatorade. Lincoln wanted to say yes, but he did like French kissing with Bonnie and wanted to see what it was like to kiss another girl.

"Yes. Why? Are you wanting to seduce me?" Lincoln asked with a joking tone, making Becky and Charlotte explode in laughter.

Once gaining her composure, Charlotte looked at the 13-year-old with honest eyes.

"Well, no. I'm asking if you wanna make out with me." Charlotte said with an evil smirk as she took off her shirt, exposing her bra that covered her C-sized breasts. Lincoln was breathing heavily and nodded while his cheeks turned a bit pink.

"So, that's a yes, right?" Charlotte asked as he took her pajama's off and she was left in her panties and bra.

"Hell yes." Lincoln said in a soft smokey voice as Charlotte slowly straddled Lincoln's waist. She also noticed his toned arms and purred lightly.

"Mind if I see what you got under the hood?" Charlotte said while grabbing Lincoln's shirt. Lincoln nodded and took off his shirt to show his abs to the 19-year-old. She whistled low and felt his abs with her fingertips.

"How long have you been working out?" Charlotte asked as Lincoln pulled her closer and kissed both of her cheeks and smiled. "Ever since late April of last year. I've been doing different workouts and exercises to gain this body. I'm gonna work on different ones too and work extra harder to gain even more muscles." Lincoln explained as Charlotte put their foreheads together and they kissed. Lincoln tasted cherry lip balm on her pink lips and immediately went to put his tongue between her lips, which she accepted.

They made out slowly but then Lincoln instantly rubbed her lower back and towards her ass. Their tongues rolled slowly before they picked up the pace and began to go ape shit on kissing like savages. Becky was just staring with a happy face as her friend and Lincoln made out like long lost lovers. They looked so sweet together. But Becky knew Lincoln couldn't have sex until he was at least 18-years-old. Charlotte even took the advantage of grinding her ass on Lincoln's crotch, which made him get hard.

They stopped kissing and that's when Charlotte felt something poking her on her ass. "You got hard, didn't you?" Charlotte asked as Lincoln only could nod. "It's all good. It happens." Charlotte said as she began to put her shirt and pajama's back on.

"Did you know he had a girlfriend?" Becky said as Charlotte went to get a couple bottles of water from her fridge.

"Really? Then I guess you know a little bit more of how to make out." Charlotte said as she gave the waters to Lincoln and Becky.

"Yeah. We made out once. It was awesome." Lincoln said as he smiled. The rest of the night was Lincoln doing their hair, talking and having fun.

May 22nd 2017 (Wednesday)

Lincoln woke up on the couch around 8am in his compression wear to the smell of applewood smoked bacon cooking. He got up and saw Becky and Charlotte were cooking breakfast in the kitchen. "Morning girls." He said with a slur and sat at the kitchen table.

"Morning cutie. Want some breakfast?" Charlotte said as Lincoln smiled and nodded. Charlotte grabbed a plate and placed the bacon and some scrambled eggs on the plate for Lincoln.

"Becky, I need to get home soon, because Yang and I are going to Japan tomorrow. So, I should pack my bags." Lincoln said as he took a bite of eggs and bacon.

"Okay, we'll leave after we have a shower and get dressed." Becky said as everyone took turns in Charlotte's shower and got ready to go. Lincoln got dressed in his clean clothes and was ready to go back home.

Becky and Lincoln were on the way back to Toll Road's house, but stopped at a red light, when Lincoln saw someone he recognized outside his window. "Who are you looking at?" Becky asked as Lincoln knew who it was; it was Dexter, and it looked like his family and him were at a restaurant for breakfast.

"That's Dexter from school. He's such a bully to me. He even followed me back to the house." Lincoln asked as the light changed to green.

"What happened?" Becky asked as she didn't take her eyes off the road. "Well, it resulted in him getting a busted but bloody nose and dislocated shoulder." Lincoln explained as Becky almost stopped the truck. "R-Really? I didn't know you knew those type of techniques." Becky said as she kept driving.

"Becky, my caretakers are gonna teach me tons of martial arts that lead from Karate, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Hapkido and many more." Lincoln explained as he watched the early morning sky. Becky was surprised to hear Lincoln was learning many martial arts.

As they approached the house, Becky parked the truck and walked inside to see all the Expendables at the kitchen table playing cards and playing for pennies.

"Hey guys." Lincoln greeted his comrades as they all looked at him to see Becky walking in too.

"Where were you?" Toll asked as Becky began to explain. "I took him over to a friend's house to sleep over while we hung out and watched movies." Becky said as she took a seat on the couch.

Lincoln went to work on his back exercises in the workout room by doing Band Bent-Over Rows, Renegade Rows, Chin-ups and Kettlebell Swings for the next 4 hours. Lincoln's back was aching as he did the exercises, but he knew it was worth it to gain a built frame.

The rest of the day was all just about working out and exercises. Toll Road made Sweet and Spicy BBQ Chicken for dinner and Lincoln couldn't stop talking about how fun it was gonna be in Japan with Yang for the whole summer. The next morning around 5am, Lincoln got up and took a nice warm shower before getting dressed in a short sleeved blue henley, blue jeans and black converse. He got his bags packed and his laptop was in the laptop bag when he heard his door open. It was Toll Road, and he was still in his pajamas, tired as a son of a bitch.

"Yang texted me a couple minutes ago and told me that he'd be here soon. He has his own Cessna 172 next to the Expendables plane and it's ready for flying." Toll said as he rubbed one of his eyes. "Okay. I'm ready to go anyways." Lincoln said as he and Toll went to the kitchen for breakfast.

Toll Road had made fruit and yogurt parfaits the night before and they were ready to eat for breakfast. As they were eating, there was a knock on the front door. Toll Road got up and opened the front door to see Yang wearing all black; black t-shirt, black cargo pants, boots and a black cap. "Come in." Toll said as Yang walked in and sat down at the table with the other 2 Expendables.

"We'll leave in a little bit. It'll be a 15-hour flight too." Yang said as he went to use the bathroom. The 3 Expendables talked for a bit before Yang decided it was time to hit the road towards the Expendables runway.

It was close to 6am when they arrived at the runway, and Lincoln was not looking forward to a 15-hour plane ride to Kyoto. But he knew that Yang was doing this for a good cause and for his martial arts experience.

After they got in the plane, Yang flew off the runway and the two were off to Japan! Yang thought that Lincoln was an excellent student when he taught him martial arts. But he needed to know lots more of martial arts that had to do with other parts of fighting like Aikido, Iaido and Kenjutsu.

After hours of flying, Yang brought the plane down on a little patch of grass that led to a big barn in Kyoto, Japan. There was even a black SUV waiting for them. As Yang turned off the plane, a Japanese man about his height in a black suit with combed hair smiled as the Chinese man got out.

"Yang! It's been a while!" The man went by Hakaru, and he was a good friend of Kaiji Saito; a Japanese Special Forces soldier who won the medal for the highest amount of bravery to the Japanese military back when he was a Lieutenant in '08. He knew Yang when he was a soldier with Chinese Special Forces, a freshly recruited Sergeant, visiting the Japanese Army base. Kaiji spoke Japanese, Traditional Chinese and English, so it was easy for him to befriend Yang back in the day. Now, they kept in contact via skype and mail whenever they couldn't get the time to get to a phone, tablet or a computer.

"I've been good, Hakaru. How about you?" Yang said as Hakaru politely opened the door for Yang, so he could also get his luggage too. "I've been well. My mother has missed you. What brings you to Kyoto?" Hakaru asked as Yang explained that he was bringing Lincoln to see Kaiji and learn more martial arts that Yang didn't know.

"That must be Loud-san, I presume?" Hakaru asked as Yang smiled and nodded. "You're more than welcome to call him, Lincoln." Yang said as Hakaru could only smile.

Hakaru's assistant was a tall man who went by Kiyoji Arimachi; he had blue eyes, messy black hair and was wearing an expensive suit with horrible smelling cologne.

"Kiyoji, could you grab Lincoln-san and put him in the truck?" Hakaru asked as the tall Japanese man nodded and opened the passenger door of the plane, grabbed Lincoln and his luggage too and placed him in the backseat of the SUV.

Yang and Hakaru got in the SUV and everyone was off to the dojo. Hakaru told Yang that the temple was about 2 miles away and that they couldn't directly take them to the front steps of it, so they had to walk about a mile to the dojo itself. As they drove through the countryside, the night was beautiful because all the stars were out.

They arrived at a path that led into the woods; Yang and Hakaru got out of the SUV to discuss terms. "You will need to walk a mile to get to the dojo. It isn't far, so no worry." Hakaru confirmed as Yang nodded and went to wake Lincoln up. As the 13-year-old woke up, he rubbed his eyes and checked the time on the dash; it read ten minutes to 10pm.

"Are we at the dojo?" Lincoln said in between a yawn.

"Yes. We gotta walk on a path to get to the dojo." Yang said as he grabbed Lincoln's bags. The 13-year-old got out of the SUV and stretched before heading onto the path with Yang.

"Good luck, Yang and Lincoln!" Hakaru said as the two Expendables were walking along the path to the dojo. Yang had a bright flashlight with him just in case the light poles that were on the path went out.

Lincoln walked alongside Yang and saw the temple coming up after 15 minutes. As they walked up, Lincoln saw that the dojo was a bit old due to the battle marks that looked like swords had sliced the wood in a few spots; and some red spots looked like blood too. Yang and Lincoln walked up the 5 steps to a man that looked to be in his late 40's; he had short black hair that was a buzz cut, blue eyes, same height as Yang and was wearing a Keikogi.

"Hello Yang." It was Kaiji, and he was happy to see his friend again.

The two engaged in a hug for a good 10 seconds until Kaiji looked at Lincoln and smiled. "This must be that Lincoln boy that you were talking about." Kaiji said as Yang nodded, and Lincoln bowed in respect for his new teacher. Kaiji bowed too and invited them in to get them situated for the night.

Kaiji showed them to their rooms which consisted of a small cotton mattress, a pillow, a lamp and a small dresser.

Kaiji took Lincoln to his room, so he could unpack and put his laptop up for the night. As Lincoln put his clothes in the dresser, he looked towards the audience to address them.

"Hey, I know it's been a while, but I'm glad that I'm here in Japan until the end of July. Now, I'm gonna be learning some martial arts that will come in handy in the future." He whispered as he got dressed in his compression nightwear and hit the sack.

The next morning around 7am, there was a knock coming from Lincoln's door. So, he got out of bed and slid it open to see Kaiji standing there holding a hakama in his hands, but he was happy too. "Good morning, Lincoln-san. How did you sleep?" Kaiji asked as Lincoln shrugged his shoulders and rubbed his eyes.

"It was alright, sensei." Lincoln said as he yawned while covering his mouth. "I need you to get dressed in these and come to the dining room for breakfast. We will start Aikido training after we're done eating." Kaiji said as Lincoln took the hakama and put it on the bed with the white shirt and pants.

"Yes, sensei." Lincoln said as he shut the sliding door and began putting on his uniform.

After a few minutes, he came out looking like an Aikido student ready for practice. He went to the dining room to see Sensei Kaiji and Yang getting breakfast ready. Lincoln sat crisscross on the floor at the table and Yang scooted over some Gyudon for Lincoln to eat.

After breakfast, Sensei Kaiji brought Lincoln to the main training hall and showed Lincoln the proper standing formation for Aikido. For the rest of the day, Lincoln was taught Hanmi handachi waza, Tanto dori and Kaeshiwaza. Kaiji had to teach Lincoln these techniques for the next 2 weeks before they moved onto 3 different techniques in Iaido.

Kaiji Saito was a 4th Degree Black Belt in Aikido and was taught by his master back when he was a kid all the way until he got out of the military. The next two weeks of learning the techniques were a struggle, but Lincoln managed to learn them without any more problems.

June 28th, 2017 (Friday)

After learning different techniques of Iaido and Kenjutsu for the past month, Lincoln was able to finally spar with Sensei Kaiji with wooden katanas. "Now, wakai gakusei, we will spar with our wooden katanas. Whoever performs the execution technique of the throat or head, will win the match." Sensei Kaiji explained as Lincoln and him were on their knees and with their wooden katanas in their sheath's in front of them; ready to be unsheathed for sparring.

"Yes, Sensei." Lincoln said as he saw Sensei Kaiji got up, so he too got up and they both did a formal bow of respect for each other. Then Sensei stood up, unsheathed his katana and held it up sideways as if he was gonna strike Lincoln.

Yang was on the sidelines just in case Kaiji went overboard, which never happened, but he wasn't gonna take that chance. Then, Kaiji went to strike Lincoln, only for Lincoln to quickly unsheathe his katana and hold it sideways with his other hand to block Sensei Kaiji's katana from hitting him.

"Good work. Always be on your toes, Lincoln." Sensei said as he smiled as he then got serious and swung the katana right; and with quick thinking, Lincoln blocked with his own katana.

"Always protect your face from an opponent's strike. Never let it distract you." Kaiji said as he backed off again and then swung the katana down towards Lincoln's feet, but he saw what the Sensei was doing, so he placed the katana in a way to block the strike, just barely stopping the Sensei's katana strike. "You must protect your feet, just in case you need to get away from your opponent." Sensei commented again as Lincoln nodded.

They separated for a moment, before the Sensei sheathed his katana and walked away for a moment.

Yang knew what he was gonna do. Oh no, here it comes, Yang thought as Sensei quickly unsheathed his katana again, did a 180 and ran towards Lincoln. The 13-year-old had to act quickly and did the Tachi dori Aikido technique on Sensei. Both men were surprised, even Lincoln was too.

"Sensei, I'm sorry." Lincoln said as he helped the man up. The man could only smile and chuckle, leaving Lincoln and Yang to raise their eyebrows. "You did well mixing Aikido into Kenjutsu. Now, let's practice adding Karate kicks into it as well." Sensei said as Lincoln smiled and was ready to attack with whatever the Sensei had coming at him.

Sensei Kaiji came at him with his katana drawn, so Lincoln did a strong high reverse roundhouse kick to the Sensei's face, knocking him down. Lincoln then took the chance of gently placing the kissaki of the wooden katana on the back of Sensei's neck and pretended to gently execute as he instructed. Sensei looked up at his student and smiled widely.

"Good work, Lincoln. You have done what other students couldn't do." Sensei said proudly as Lincoln stuck out a hand to help his Sensei up off the mat.

3 weeks later, the 19th of July on a Friday, 2017, Lincoln had been taught sitting, standing and weapon techniques of Aikido, Kenjutsu and Iaido all from Sensei Kaiji; who treated Lincoln like a son he never had before. Sensei Kaiji was married to Miyuki Akatsu; they had a beautiful baby girl who was now 10 years old last week. Since Kaiji was done teaching Lincoln all the techniques he knew for this summer, there was nothing left to teach him for all those 3 martial arts. But he had a plan to teach him Tang Soo Do and Ashihara Karate next summer.

Lincoln was meditating with Yang outside when Sensei came to them. "Since we are done with training for the summer, you may have free time." Kaiji said with a smile as Lincoln smiled back.

"Thanks, Sensei." The 13-year-old said as Yang suggested something. "Isn't there a water spot around here that we can swim in. It is a bit muggy today." Yang said as he wiped some sweat from his eyebrow.

"Yes, there is. You must walk on the path as if you were going back to the pickup point but make a right a quarter mile before reaching the pickup point. Then walk about 2 miles; you'll get to the nicest water spot that has an 8-foot waterfall that you can dive into the 10-foot water below." Sensei said as he smiled while explaining it. Lincoln was excited already, and Yang could tell.

"Well, let's go Yang!" Lincoln said as he went to get his bathing suit on with a tank top to go with it. Yang could only smile as he bowed to his friend and went to get his bathing suit on too.

After a bit of waiting for Yang, Lincoln saw the Chinese man come out wearing a black tank top and a bathing suit that had dolphins on them. Lincoln almost stifled a laugh as Yang grumbled under his breath and Lincoln decked him in the arm to calm his nerves. They grabbed two towels from Sensei and began the 2-mile hike to the water spot.

As they walked, Lincoln decided to ask Yang a personal question. "Yang, can I ask you something?" Lincoln asked as he wrapped his towel around his shoulders. "Of course." Yang said as Lincoln bit his lip before asking his question. "Is 'Yin Yang' your real name?" Lincoln asked as Yang went wide eyed.

"No, it's Li Jing. But I got my nickname because of the martial arts I do. They think it's part of the Yin Yang symbol because of how dark I can get, I'm also a light person too." Yang explained as Lincoln nodded and now understood the meaning of Yang's official nickname.

They arrived at the water spot and were amazed of how beautiful it was. Blue, clean, and clear water was sparkling because of the sun beaming down on it. "Ready to jump in?" Yang asked as Lincoln took off the sandal's he was wearing and nodded. He then did a backflip and landed in the deep part of the water. Lincoln came back up all wet and cooled off due to the water being the right temperature.

"C'mon in Yang, the water's fine." Lincoln called from the water below as Yang did the same as Lincoln and jumped in.

Thanks to the acrobatic coaches that Yang and Lee knew, they were able to teach Lincoln good acrobatic moves and flips.

They had lots of fun cooling off in the water. They both jumped off the waterfall and into the deep end. What Lincoln and Yang didn't expect was about four Japanese 7th graders walking along the path to the water spot as well, and boy they were trouble. One of the boys; Ryushi Dogura was a troublemaker around his hometown of Kyoto with his friends. They called themselves the Nihon no akuma or Japanese Demons. They liked to cause trouble by tipping over waste bins, dismantle gardens, bust up ceramic pots and chuck ice cold newspapers that they stuck in the freezer box at passing bystanders.

"Hey! What are you doing in our water spot filthy Chinese and American!" Ryushi called towards Lincoln and Yang, who were taken back by the insult. Lincoln and Yang got out and confronted the boys. "You can't legally own a piece of land at 13-years-old. Cocky idiot." Lincoln said as Ryushi started to get in Lincoln's face, but Yang kept the two separated.

"Why don't you go back to your parents. We don't want any trouble." Yang said as he grabbed his towel and began drying his hair and put on his sandals. "Oh, the filthy Chinese man wants no trouble. Well guess what…you got some!" Ryushi screamed as he tried to hit Yang in the face with a punch, but it was blocked by Lincoln and the 13-year-old was hit in the nose with a strong palm strike and was kneed hard in the gut. He began groaning in pain before Lincoln tossed him in the water below.

The other 3 Japanese boys were horrified before Lincoln got into a Karate Front Stance. "Sakichi, Shogo and Takuji, get him!" Ryushi screamed from below in the water as Lincoln and Yang fought off the 7th graders. Yang didn't wanna hurt the 13-year-olds, so he simply did leg sweeps and threw Shogo into the water while Lincoln went to kicking ass and taking names.

He chopped Sakichi in the throat before kicking him in the ankle, fracturing it. Lincoln then performed a Gancho Capoeira kick to Takuji's face and knocked him down. He then grabbed him by the ears and headbutted him in the nose before performing a strong uppercut he learned from Tool's buddy at the Boxing gym. They all scrammed like little girls after being confronted by Yang and Lincoln. Except Ryushi turned back and screamed with all his vocal cords could handle.

"THIS ISN'T OVER!" Ryushi screamed as he and his friends ran back to Kyoto while dragging Sakichi's weight.

Yang and Lincoln got their sandals back on and walked back to the dojo to explain what happened to Kaiji. As they got back, Kaiji knew what happened because he saw through the tree's and heard with his sharp hearing.

"I saw you used that dance martial art they use in Brazil. What was it called again?" Kaiji asked as Lincoln dried his hair. "It's called Capoeira. It's what the slaves used for self-defense against the Portuguese colonists." Lincoln explained as Kaiji smiled.

"Anyway, we'll be leaving tomorrow. Kaiji, I really appreciate you letting us come up here to have you train Lincoln." Yang said as he got his got his bags ready to go tomorrow while Lincoln did the same in his room. He did get tired of eating Japanese food, but it was either that or nothing.

The next day came quick as Yang knocked on Lincoln sliding door. The 13-year-old woke up and opened it to see Yang with his bags next to him.

"Get dressed. Hakaru is coming to pick us up in 15 minutes." Yang explained as Lincoln put his suitcase by the front sliding door of the dojo and went to eat breakfast quick with Yang and Saiji before they left. As they finished their breakfast, Lincoln and Yang said goodbye to Sensei Saiji and walked down the path towards the pickup point.

"Did you have fun this summer, Lincoln?" Yang asked as he walked along with his luggage.

"Yeah, I did." Lincoln replied as they kept walking along the early morning path to meet Hakaru at the SUV. They made it to the end of the path and the beginning of the patchy grass field where they saw the SUV pull up to them. Hakaru got out and saw Yang and Lincoln waiting for them. They all got in and drove back to the barn, with Lincoln explaining how much fun he had while Yang smiled and listened.

They arrived at the plane and got loaded up. Lincoln and Yang bid adieu to Hakaru and were off into the skies back to New Orleans.

15 Hours Later (Back in New Orleans)

Lincoln and Yang landed back in New Orleans around 9pm and Yang parked the plane in the hangar. As Yang turned off the plane, he woke Lincoln up so he could get his bags and put them in his car. As they got in the car with their luggage, Lincoln fell back asleep the minute he closed the passenger door.

Yang drove the car back to Toll Road's house as the night sky was dark and the sound of traffic was crazy. I bet he'll be an amazing martial artist as he grows up, Yang thought as he drove down the street towards Toll Road's place. As he pulled into the driveway, he woke Lincoln up once more and had him grab his bags, so they could walk inside. They opened the door to find Toll Road in his pajama's reading 'The Survivor's Club' book as usual. He looked up at the front door to see Yang and Lincoln walk in. "Hey, how was Japan?" Toll asked as he sat up straight and saw Yang taking a seat on the couch. "It was fun, in Lincoln's words though." Yang said as he smiled.

Lincoln went to the fridge to get a bottle of orange juice to drink since all he had was water on the plane ride. "I'm gonna head to bed now. Good night." Lincoln said softly but loud enough for the two other Expendables to hear.

5 days later, the 24th of July, 2017, on a Wednesday; Lincoln was working on his abs by doing Front Squats, Medicine Ball Russian Twists, Swiss Ball Rollouts and Star Planks, when a familiar individual came into the workout room of Toll Road's house while he was out doing errands.

"Hey kid. You got a moment?" It was Church; and he was wearing his usual suit. Lincoln got up and wiped off his forehead of sweat.

"Yeah, I guess. What's up?" Lincoln asked as Church pulled a big envelope from his bag that he was carrying with him. "I got another job for you. Up for the task?" Church asked as Lincoln took the envelope from him and looked inside.

"We're looking for this rich drug dealer; Ted Peck, he's supposed to be dealing tons of meth and black tar heroin with this Latino crime syndicate from Juarez. We know where it's supposed to go down. It's gonna be going down in the Faubourg Livaudais. We're handing this over to the FBI as well. The FBI is using a warehouse nearby to go over the interior and exterior of the house, just so they can get some strategies going." Church explained as Lincoln looked at the photos of the suspect. "Is it a risky operation?" Lincoln asked as Church nodded.

"Give me ten minutes to get a shower and get clean clothes on." Lincoln said as he left Church waiting.

After a bit of waiting, Lincoln came out of his room in a brown henley, a white t-shirt underneath, black cargo pants and black boots. He also had his knives in the sleeve with him.

"You ready?" Lincoln asked as he put on his black beanie. Church nodded with his usual serious face.

"Now remember, I'll be paying you one million for this whole job; half now and the other half when it's done." Church said as he dropped a bag of money in Lincoln's room before they left.

Lincoln and Church got in the black SUV and Church drove to a huge empty warehouse where a big SWAT team truck and some other FBI agents with Glocks and Beretta's. They parked inside where they had a table showing blueprints of the house and some exterior shots of the house that were taken from a camera. "Agents, this is my informant; Lincoln Loud, and he is gonna be helping you guys take down Ted Peck and the Latino crime syndicate." Church said as the other agents eyed Lincoln.

"He's just a kid." One of them with a black beard said as Church shook his head with anger. "Yeah, so. What's it to you, Blackbeard wannabe?" Lincoln asked as the man was taken back by the insult as his comrades chuckled under their breath.

"Church, does that house have a big tree leading to a balcony in the back of the house?" Lincoln asked as he eyed one photo on the table. "Yes, it does. Why do you ask?" Church replied as Lincoln already stated how the plan go down.

"I could head down to the house, climb up the tree, shake the beehive and try to take down the queen bee and collect the honey. Now, please tell me you all know what I mean?" Lincoln said as Church smiled as his 'plan'.

"I like it. I totally know what you mean. It means you wanna climb up the tree, get into the office and search for files on the shipments while taking down Ted Peck. I like your style and analogy." Church said as he gave him a radio earpiece that fit in his ear, a bulletproof vest to wear under his henley and a radio to hang on his belt that would be concealed by his shirt.

"The house is about 1 mile away, and I've seen you jog 2 miles around your neighborhood before; so, this should be as easy as pie." Church said as Lincoln smiled.

"I guess." Lincoln said as Church wrote down the address of the house and gave it to Lincoln. "Now go. Radio them when you find the info." Church said as Lincoln nodded and jogged out of the warehouse and towards the house.

Lincoln knew helping the FBI and CIA was good for him since he was getting paid. As he jogged towards the house, he had to go to the backyard and climb the tree to get into the back office. He jumped the fence and saw a guard; he ran into the bushes and grabbed one of his knives from his sleeve and aimed at his jugular artery. He then whistled lightly and then as he got the guards attention; Lincoln threw the knife as hard as he could at the guard's artery, and it punctured the main arteries and stopped blood flow to the rest of the body.

Lincoln then stayed low as he made his way over to the guard's body, dragged his body into the bushes and grabbed the 1911 that was in the holster. Lincoln then put the gun into his waistband and began climbing up the tree leading onto the balcony of the office.

Lincoln reached a branch and was able to leap onto the balcony softly and hoped it didn't attract attention. He quietly opened the door; making sure not to make any noises at the same time. He saw that there was no one in the office; but the computer was on and no password was needed.

"Bingo." Lincoln said quietly as he quickly went to the door and locked it with the double lock it had on it, then he put a chair under the doorknob to restrict anyone coming in at all.

Lincoln got on the computer and saw some files that were labeled 'Shipments'. Maybe this has something to do with meth and black tar heroin, Lincoln thought as he clicked it and saw many container numbers, dates and times for when they would be arriving at the port of New Orleans. "This is it." Lincoln said to himself as he radioed Church.

"The bear has reached the honey. I repeat, the bear has reached the honey." Lincoln confirmed as he heard the cars starting on the other side. "Good job kid. They're on the way to make the arrest." Church said as Lincoln then heard some voices coming from on the other side of the wall and down the hall. Acting quickly, Lincoln quietly took the chair off from the door, quietly unlocked the door and hid in the closet. He heard the door open and saw one man in a dark blue suit with black hair that was a tiny bit spikey and looked to be talking on a cell phone.

"Well of course it should be at the docks. Yes, it'll be there, I promise. I'm Ted Peck, and I always keep my word." It confirmed to be Ted Peck; and he had a Cajun accent to match.

"That's Ted Peck." Lincoln whispered as the man looked straight at the closet where the sound came from. "I'll call you back." Ted said as Lincoln controlled his breathing and didn't take one more breath at all.

Ted got out of his seat and eyed the closet suspiciously. There was a single drop of sweat coming down from Lincoln's head and dropped from his chin onto the floor. Ted got closer to the closet when Lincoln decided it was now or never and plunged his knife into the man's right eye.

"AHHH! MY FUCKING EYE!" He screamed as Lincoln punched him in the throat as hard as he could to silence him. He then ran to close and lock the door, so he could deal with Ted. The Cajun man had dropped to his knees and clenched his right eye which was bleeding all over the floor. Lincoln radioed Church on the radio and decided to see what they wanted with Peck.

"Hey Church, what do you want with Peck? Do you need him Dead or Alive?" Lincoln asked as he heard the siren going off on Church's side of the radio. "The FBI needs him alive for questioning. Go ahead and rough him up a bit. Don't go overboard though. This guy has sold drugs to young teens and gotten them killed already." Church said as Lincoln then kneed Peck in the jaw super hard which got him to shut up with his hard coughing.

"Alright." Lincoln said as he then grabbed the man by both sides of his head and headbutted him super hard in the nose which knocked him out. Just then, he heard the door handle open right up and saw one guard with a radio in his hand.

Lincoln was wide eyed and flung a knife into the radio, making it short circuit. Lincoln then saw his 1911 that he dropped on the floor, even the guard saw it and the two went for the handgun. The two got to it simultaneously, but the guard was able to pick it up and held it at Lincoln. But Lincoln smiled and held what to seemed to be the magazine, and it was full of bullets.

The guard was shocked and tried to shoot the gun, only to have the hammer release. Lincoln whistled and shot the man point blank between the eyes with Peck's gun that Lincoln grabbed from his waistband. Luckily it had a suppressor on it to minimize the sound of the barrel.

"You might wanna pick up the pace, Church." Lincoln said as he radioed Church on the radio. "They just pulled up, now just wait up there for us." Church said as Lincoln then heard the door being kicked open a minute later. "FBI! Get on the ground!" One of the agents screamed as they aimed their guns down at the guards and came upstairs to Lincoln sitting in the computer chair, with a smile on his face.

"Us bears have disturbed the beehive." Lincoln said as Church came up to see the computer. He was surprised to see where the shipment was being brought in at.

"Alright. This is good. Agent Galloway, you're now in charge. Find the containers marked with the numbers 234 and 235 then take custody of the drugs and arrest any Latino's that arrive with it." Church said as the younger agent nodded and went to place handcuffs on Peck.

"Let's get you home now." Church said as he smiled at Lincoln and walked him to his SUV.

As Church and Lincoln were on the way back, Church was proud of Lincoln for helping him on this job. Lincoln was happy that was able to help with side jobs when he was needed. They arrived at Toll's house and Lincoln got out to wave goodbye to Church. Lincoln went back into the house to find Toll Road waiting for him.

"Where were you?" Toll asked as Lincoln went to his room and got the bag of money that Church gave him. "I was working." Lincoln replied as Toll raised an eyebrow.

"No one identified you?" He asked as Lincoln shook his head and smiled. "Good, now go workout some more." Toll said as Lincoln went to lift weights.

On the 5th of August 2017; it was an early Monday morning for the two Expendables as they were up around 6am and eating some healthy cereal with fruit in it before they left.

Lincoln had gotten new school supplies ready days before and was ready for 7th grade.

Later, at the school, Toll Road and Lincoln just arrived when there was a new principal at Arthur Ashe; he stood 6 foot 1; he looked to be in his early 40's, he had brown scruffy hair, blue eyes, muscular and even wore a blue dress shirt, black dress pants and brown dress shoes.

"Good morning. Where's Ms. Jackman?" Toll asked as the man glared at him with a scowl.

The man's name was Vergil Holloway; and he was a mean cookie to be perfectly frank. He had been a principal for 15 years and knew the ropes as well as any other principal.

"Ms. Jackman has been fired due to…not completing the high number of standards here at the school." He said with an angry look on his face.

"Okay…anyway, we're here to get Lincoln's class schedule." Toll Road said as the man went into his office to get Lincoln's schedule. He returned and gave it to Lincoln.

"Thanks, have a good-" Toll started to say as the principal just retreated into his office before Toll Road could finish his sentence.

"Anyway, I gotta go. But I'll see you at home." Toll said as Lincoln smiled and looked at his schedule, while Toll left to go run errands. "Let's see, I have Writing, Math, English, PE, Spanish, Lunch and Social Studies." Lincoln said as he then went to his first hour class.

As soon as he entered his class, he saw Dakota and James in there.

"Morning guys." Lincoln said as he sat down next to his friends, who were excited to see their comrade as well. Then more students came and then their teacher, Mr. Hood arrived to start their first period.

A/N: There you go.

Now, I gotta get going, so I'll see you in the next one…ADIOS AMIGOS!
