Chapter 146
(The Loud House)
The time is now five-forty five. Lincoln and Luna are both wearing some coats for the chilling air in the morning, they both have their bags packed and ready.
"You ready for today bro?" asked Luna.
"Dang right I am" said Lincoln. Patriot and Valkyrie squawk. "And so are they."
They then hear a knock on the door, it was Lori. "Hey you two. Ready?"
"We are sis" said Luna as she picks up her bag.
Lincoln also picks up his bag, Valkyrie and Patriot also pick up some bags and send them outside to the front door.
They leave the room and head downstairs, there they see the rest of the family. All of them in their sleepwear still.
They all gather and give Lincoln and Luna a family hug.
"We're gonna miss you two" said Rita.
"Bring back something from the festival, or send us some pics of the whole thing" said Lynn Sr.
"Goo-Goo! Wincy!" said Lily.
"Good luck in the contest bro" said Lynn Jr.
"We know you're going to win Lincoln" said the twins.
"And the two eagle companions you have as well" said Lisa.
"You two have fun at the eagle festival" said Leni.
"I will ask Great Grandma Harriet to make sure you guys will have a safe trip" said Lucy.
"Show those other eagle pros just how fly you guys are, we know you'll snatch the win within your talons" said Luan.
"A little too early for puns Luan" said Lori.
"Sorry Lori, but the early eagle snatches the bunny" said Luan.
Lincoln and Luna then head out of the house and they see Peter's truck waiting for them, inside are Rick and Jordan Rosato.
"Hey guys, you all ready?" asked Jordan.
"We are my love" replied Lincoln.
Peter and Rick help them put their bags into the truck.
Patriot and Valkyrie fly into the sky and watch over them.
Lincoln and Luna board the truck and wave goodbye to the rest of their family.
"Bye guys, we'll be back after March 4th" said Lincoln.
"We'll call you guys when we get there dudes" said Luna.
The rest of the loud family wave goodbye and good luck to all of them, and soon the truck is out of sight.
On the way there, Lincoln and Luna get some early morning texts from their friends, all wishing them to have fun and hope Lincoln, Patriot and Valkyrie will win it.
"So, has Ronnie Anne told you anything that has happened to her lately?" asked Jordan.
"Well she is still happy that her dad is staying in Great Lake City, also she said something about her baby cousin Carlino not ever copying Ronnie Anne" replied Lincoln.
"That is odd, when we visited the place. He always liked to copy us, but why?" asked Jordan.
"Ronnie Anne said that Carlino does that because he likes you" replied Lincoln.
"Huh, so if the little dude isn't copying Ronnie Anne much, does that mean he doesn't like her?" asked Luna.
"Not sure sis. It could be a while for Carlino to accept Ronnie Anne" said Lincoln.
"Let's just hope she doesn't to make Carlino like her immediately" said Jordan.
They soon make it to the Royal Woods airport, there they get out and grab their bags, and they make their way to the private hangar. There they see the private jet of Rick Rosato, named "Rose-Air."
What does it look like? The jet form of Wind blade from Transformers Robots in Disguise.
"Now that is one sweet jet Mr. Rosato" said Luna.
"Thank, Peter has one like this. But in blue and white" said Rick.
"But we can't take my jet since she's undergoing some upgrades" replied Peter.
"This is the very same jet Dad and I took to go to the Legends of the hidden temple contest" said Lincoln.
"Let's get our belongings into the jet" said Jordan.
Though Patriot and Valkyrie tend to fly for great distances, they decided to join them inside of the jet.
"Okay, so Peter will be flying us there to Yellow Stone National Park at Washington" said Rick.
They all aboard the jet, and they take off from the runway and make their way to their destination.
(Yellow Stone National Park)
The flight to the place only took two hours, the jet is fast. Turns out the jet was a gift from Rick's friend who works in the Air force. The jet itself is made from some scrapped parts of a blackbird jet making this private plane fast.
The jet is about to look for the nearest private runway, but instead it gets escorted by two F-22 jets.
Lincoln and the others look out the window and see the two jets.
"What the heck man?" asked Luna.
"What is this?" asked Jordan.
Rick uses his phone. "Peter, what's going on?'
"No clue Rick" replied Peter who is flying the plane.
"Attention Rose-Air, this is Eagle raptor five. Please follow us to US Airfield Nest zone" said the Jet on the comm link.
"Okay" replied Peter.
Peter maneuvers the jet to follow the F-22's, they soon reach the airfield.
Lincoln and the others were confused by this.
"Are we in trouble?" asked Jordan.
"I hope not" replied Lincoln.
The jet lands safely and it is led into an empty hangar. Peter then places the jet there and they all come out, they see a black Chevy suburban and an air force captain waiting for them.
He looks like he's in his mid-thirties and has white hair in military trim form. He seems a foot taller that rick and peter.
"You guys must be the people we've been waiting for" said the air force captain. "Which one of you is Lincoln Loud?"
Lincoln felt uneasy by his name being called out. Luna gets in front of her brother. "Who's asking dude?" said Luna with a protective tone.
The air force captain lowers his hat. "Ma'am, I assure you that no one is in trouble. I would just like to know which one of you is Lincoln Loud."
Lincoln steps out from behind Luna, Patriot and Valkyrie sit on his shoulders. "I am sir" He salutes to the air force captain.
The air force captain salute back to him. "At ease young man, and it is an honor to meet you kid."
"So, who are you?" asked Lincoln.
"My name is Michael Steiner, I am the Air force captain of this facility. I believe you know who my father grandfather is" replied Michael.
Lincoln then realized who he is. "Your dad, is he retired Air force Captain Horace Steiner?"
"The very one, he told me about who you are and what you're great grandfather did to my granddad. And he told me about what you're eagle did at the Pearl Harbor Memorial day, a true symbol of American peace" said Michael.
"Wow, it is an honor to meet you sir, and thank you for allowing us to place our jet here" said Lincoln.
Michael smiles. "Kid, the pleasure is all mine, now come on your hotel room awaits." one of the soldier opens the door of the car.
They all grab their things and put them in the back of the vehicle, they all hop in with the Air force captain driving.
"So, your granddad told you about what we're gonna be doing today?" asked Jordan.
"He did and he also told me about what your great grandfather did with Lincoln's great grandfather" said Michael.
"Dudes, we did not expect this day to happen" said Luna.
"Believe me it is an honor to meet the great grandkids of the men who saved my grandpa. He will be with you guys once you all hit the Bald Eagle festival" said Michel. "Also, I thought you only had one eagle?"
"Well let's just say Patriot never told me he had a mate in his life" said Lincoln as he pats Patriot and Valkyrie.
(Yellow Stone Park)
They all drive by the massive gate to the park and they see the banner already up and some people going in.
"Looks like the event is already happening" said Michael.
"Looks like a lot of people came" said Peter.
"It is a big thing, when it comes to those who pay respect to that national eagle of America of course" said Michael. "And that's where you guys are staying."
They all look out the windows and see the tall hotel not too far from the Park itself. "Guys, welcome to
yellow stone peak hotel."
The vehicle stops and they all come out. "The rooms you guys are staying in have already been picked out, all you gotta do is follow the bell boys to your rooms" said Michael. "Also, there's a military jeep you guys can use to get there."
They spot the military jeep parked with the name Rosato and Loud on it.
"Wow, thank you sir" said Lincoln.
"Anytime kid" Michael then leaves in the black car and heads back to Airfield Nest zone.
The Louds and Rosato's all head into the hotel, the entire place looked beautiful.
It looked like one of those fancy and yet nature themed hotels, they then head into the elevator and reach the top floor.
Rick and Peter will be in one room, while Lincoln, Jordan and Luna are in another room just neighboring the ones where the adults are staying.
When they go in they are impressed by the balcony and the view of Yellow stone national park.
"Now this is what I call a view" said Peter.
"This is so cool dudes" said Luna, she then uses her phone to take a picture.
"We can see the whole park from here" said Rick.
Jordan looks to another view and sees something else. "And I can see Mt. Rushmore too. Though it looks kinda far away."
Lincoln along with his two eagles could see some tents and sporting ground being setup, they knew that's where they will begin the contest which will commence on March 3. "We're actually here guys, at the place where we can see just how great eagles you two are."
Patriot and Valkyrie felt proud to be there, and they knew they had some competition.
"And that's where we're gonna be testing just how good of a tag team we are" said Jordan. Valkyrie sits onto her shoulder.
"You guys gotta be cautious now, there's going to be tons of competition down there and some of them are pros and have done this whole thing before" said Peter.
"True, but after all you guys have been through I'm sure Patriot and Valkyrie are gonna do well" replied Rick.
"They're right dude" said Luna. "But even if you guys don't make it, at least you can go down as the youngest eagle trainer in history."
"And let's not forget my partner, even if we don't win. Jordan and I will be the youngest eagle tag team trainers in history" said Lincoln.
Jordan kisses his cheek. "You know how to make me feel better."
"You know I do" Lincoln kisses her cheek.
"So, you guys wanna go down to the festival?" asked Rick.
Lincoln and Jordan were thinking. "No thanks dad. We'll be doing our training on the roof or here in the balcony" said Jordan.
"We can go and explore the festival tomorrow" said Lincoln.
"Okay then, well me and Rick are going to go and see the rest of this hotel" said Peter.
"I heard they have a massage area. You want in?" asked Rick.
"Hell yeah, my back has been killing me from doing tons of police patrol across Royal Woods" said Peter.
"I'm gonna watch you guys train these eagles of yours, then maybe we can contact the rest of the family and tell them how it's all been going" said Luna.
"Now that sounds like a plan Lunes" said Jordan.
Rick and Peter leave their room and head for the massage, while Lincoln and Jordan begin with some improvement sto their aerial tricks and skills with Patriot and Valkyrie.
Luna uses the eagle speed measurement devices to test how well they're doing and a camera to record so they can study it later. All of this stuff was made by Lisa, with Lana and Lulu's help of course.
Luna is impressed by the aerial maneuvers the two eagles can do, either alone or as a team. It almost seemed like an eagle mating dance in the sky and it made Luna think it was the prom dance Lincoln and Jordan had, or the Sadie Hawkins Dance.
Lincoln and Jordan are watching their eagle friends with their binoculars, what they don't know is that some people at the hotel are impressed by the practicing eagles and take pictures.
A man in his sixties and wearing a cowboy hat and brown jacket and jeans watches the two eagles and smiles. "Looks like we got ourselves some competition Reaver" his Bald Eagle sits on his shoulder, the eagle has a small scar on its right eye and on its wing.
The eagle caws at the amazing aerial skills. "Easy now, we gotta respect the competition. Let's hope whoever owns them is a good eagle trainer than I am, we could use some better competition."
The man then retreats back into his private room, he then places his cowboy hat down onto five pictures of himself and his eagle from the last Bald Eagle contests. Looks like we got ourselves some competition.
(Night time)
Lincoln and the others finish eating dinner that they ordered from room service.
Now they are using Lincoln's laptop to talk to the rest of the family and they're friends, he had to put up multiple screens.
"Hey guys" said Lincoln, Jordan and Luna.
"Hey Lincoln, Jordan and Luna" said the Loud family and Jesse Rosato.
"He guys" said their friends, all composed of: Sam, Simon, Stella, Liam, Tabby, Zach and Rusty. Their other friends were busy.
"So, how is it going there guys?" asked Rita.
"Did you guys land safely?" asked Leni.
"Did you see any other bald eagles?" asked Lana.
"How long was the flight there?" asked Liam.
"Where are you guys staying anyway?" asked Lola.
Lincoln, Luna and Jordan chuckled.
"Boy do we have a story for all of you" said Lincoln.
AN: This is day one, come tomorrow will be when they attend the festival and meet with this mysterious cowboy and his eagle. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
