Ever since the incident at the kindergarten not much has changed for the Loud family as time went on and soon everyone started to have changes. Lincoln is one such individual as he has now started elementary school and his sister Lucy has started moving around on her own and seems to have an ability to appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Recently two new additions have been brought into the family which consists of the twins Lana and Lola, with Lana being older by a few minutes. Both look exactly alike but they have completely opposite personalities as Lola appears to be more spoiled and self assertive than Lana who usually just sleeps all day or tries to eat mud or worms... or sometimes both...
Currently it was a Saturday morning at the loud house and everyone had just finished breakfast, which consisted of their father's famous breakfast burritos. Lincoln managed to sneak some before his sister started fighting over who would get more breakfast burritos as everyone loved their father's cooking and everyone loved his breakfast burritos... meaning that a lot of them always try to steal from the other in order to get a taste.
Luckily their father anticipated this so he made extras that way everyone will get their fair share of burritos.
As Lincoln was cleaning his hands he noticed that someone was behind him and he quickly deduced to it was.
"Can I help you Lucy."said Lincoln as although his sister has been getting the drop on everyone else because of his Observation Haki he has been able to detect her without any issues.
Lucy meanwhile just stayed quiet as she stared at her older brother with her gaze for a few more seconds before she walked out of the room.
'She is definitely suspicious of me as Lucy always had a sixth sense when it came to the spirit world and I'm betting any ghosts she is talking to or telling her that I'm not normal...' thought Lincoln as if you remember correctly Lucy was very close to the spirit of their Great Grandma Harriet.
"Lincoln."said a female voice that Lincoln recognized as Leni's as he turned around and saw it was indeed the growing question.
"Yes Leni?"inquired Lincoln wondering what his older sister wanted.
"We are going to the park soon so please hurry."said Leni as today neither of their parents were working so it was a perfect day to go to the park.
"I'm coming let me just freshen up a bit."said Lincoln as Leni smiled at him before leaving the bathroom.
Lincoln meanwhile took a deep breath as he looked himself in the mirror as he began gripping the nearby handrail tightly as things have not been easy lately with his... personal issues.
That day he took down that guy trying to kidnap that girl at the kindergarten his family had kept them on a tight leash for a very long time and it has only been recently that that leash has loosen and he has gone some of his freedoms back.
But unfortunately for Lincoln that day he beat up that perv something familiar awoke within him...his love for battle...
Lincoln, or more specifically has past lives had been on countless battlefields fighting to stay alive while exchanging lives with anyone who stood in his way...he could still feel the numerous wounds he received in battle even though his new body didn't have them... he was guessing that they were phantom scars.
Lincoln looked at his left hand where Thorkell stabbed him all those years ago and could still recall how much it hurt...he could also recall the wounds Kaido gave him when he was a member of the Nine Red Scabbards...his forehead still throbs remembering that nail Shiraishi tried to kill him with a nail only for it to get stuck in his extremely thick head.
As Lincoln looked at himself in the mirror he could see the faces of his past lives staring back at him as he was gripping the nearby wall tightly and soon it began to crack from the pressure of his finger muscles.
"Whoops... better reel in my strength."said Lincoln who lost his composure for a second before he let go of the wall before he caused any more damage.
Luckily for him this house isn't exactly Fort Knox meaning that things break easily so a little dent in the wall would easily be ignored by the rest of his family as this house was barely being held together as it currently was.
"I wanted a peaceful life and I'm done being on the battlefield for now...maybe in my next life but for now this life I'm going to live peacefully."said Lincoln to himself as he got down from the stepping stool he used to reach the sink as he left the bathroom.
"Lincoln are you okay?"asked Lori as she saw a bit of Lincoln's episode in the bathroom as she was making her way to see if her hair was okay.
"Yeah I'm okay Lori... I'm just in a little bit of a bad mood today so I apologize in advance if I do anything to offend you or our other sisters."said Lincoln who never felt like explain to anyone what was going on with him... how would they even begin to understand.
It's not like you can go up to his family in one day say "hey guys I'm actually a individual who has reincarnated multiple times as I use to be a Viking, a Samurai, a Superhero, a Convict, and several other people and that is why I don't act like a kid in my age."...he can already hear his parents calling a psychologist and having him prescribed on medication to control his..."delusions"
"Oh okay just be careful okay."said Lori who look like she was honestly worried for her little brother as her older sister instincts were telling her that something was wrong but she just couldn't put our finger on what it was.
'I have to be careful around her as she's one of my more persistent sisters as she isn't easily gullible like the others...no Lori is sharp to I better keep my guard up so I don't look too suspicious.' thought Lincoln as last thing he wanted was unnecessary attention.
All he wanted was a quiet life so he needed to control his impulses as well as trying to keep a low profile as things could get really complicated if you suddenly started showing superhuman strength or speed...he could already hear government scientists wanting to take him to a lab to test his feats.
"Come on guys! I want to get there to see if that guy who sells the clown shaped balloons js there."said Luan as there's a guy in the park who sells balloons that were shaped like clowns and she really liked those.
"Coming."said Lori and leaking at the same time as they started heading down the stairs with everyone else as they quickly made their way to Vanzilla.
Lincoln got in his usual booster seat next to Lucy who was also in a booster seat as certain laws dictate that children under a certain age had to be children's seats until they were old enough and he was still a year away from being exempt from that rule...not that it mattered to him anyway since it's not the first time he has been in a crash.
He could still recall the many times he was run off the road while driving the batmobile... he was very lucky he only got out of those with a few cuts and bruises...
"Alright let's head to the park and have some fun! I know for a fact that my two little sweethearts can't wait to get to the sandbox."said Lynn Sr as he started making cooing noises to the twins.
Everyone else roll their eyes as they noticed that Lola was enjoying all the attention while Lana seem to be looking at that stain in Vanzilla that never seems to dry with interest...?
"I guess that is a yes for babies...Lynn's let's get to the park quickly before all the tables not covered in pigeon poop are taken."said Rita as Lynn Sr agreed with his wife as getting a table that was not covered can pigeon poop or graffiti was hard as for some reason people had a habit of doing stuff to the tables like carving their name or some kind of offensive slur.
It took a while to convince Leni that word that was carved into the table they sat at the park last time was a bad word and she should never say it... of course they had to go to her school and apologize to the the principal and her homeroom teacher after she accidentally used said word in class, as she did not understand that it was a word that she should never say...
Soon Vanzilla was out of the driveway as soon as Lynn Sr put the van in reverse and the family started making their way to the Royal Woods Park with all the kids excited as they already had plans on what they were going to do at the park as soon as they got there.
Lori planned to show off some new accessory she got at the mall last week to her friends in an attempt to outshine her nemesis Carol Pingrey.
Leni just wanted to draw and find inspiration for her sketches as she started showing a knack for making clothes and seems to have talent in the fashion industry.
Luna just wanted to listen to some tunes on her CD player, listening to her idol Mick Swagger while chilling next to her favorite tree that had just the right angle of sunlight and shade.
Luan wanted to see all the street performers that work the park like the clown who juggled a bunch of bowling pins or the man covered in silver.
Lynn wanted to hit the basketball court and work on some new tricks she had been working on to shoot hoops.
Lincoln just wanted to find the nice place in the park where he could be alone with his thoughts while he enjoyed this beautiful day as it was neither too hot or too cold.
No one was sure what Lucy wanted to do as most figured she would hang around their mother and father.
The twins would be in the sandbox under close supervision by their parents.
'I wonder how today will go? There is certainly no ordinary day in the Loud house.' thought Lincoln as he knew this first hand as so many people under the same roof the different personalities and so many different interests that things would certainly be interesting almost every day.

"Ah nothing better than reading Ace Savvy while sitting under a tree with a nice cool shade."said Lincoln as he was currently reading an Ace Savvy comic underneath a tree on a small hill in the park. Of course it was near the sandbox as Lincoln was only five and a half years old and his parents wanted him to stay close by.
Lincoln mainly suspected the reason being that they didn't want him to get hurt even though he could more than take care of himself...of course they didn't know that.
'I guess after a scare like that its no wonder they are only loosening the lease little by little...' thought Lincoln as he looked back at his own hands and has been noticing something was going on, especially with his body.
...Little by little his strength from his old life and old bodies was returning...he was certainly stronger, much stronger than the day he stopped that kidnapping. He suspected he was at least as strong as around the time he was Ushiyama or somewhere just below the middle as even Lynn had a hard time pinning him down the other day after she dragged him into a game of wrestling.
He let her win of course as he knew how bad her competitive nature gets when someone beats her at anything and it can get a... little out of hand...
Lincoln's thoughts were interrupted by sensing that someone else was near him.
"Can I help you Lucy?"asked Lincoln noticing that the three and a half year old was looking at him from behind the tree he was currently leaning on.
"You are the only one who always knows where I am."said Lucy as everyone else in her family always jumps with fear every time she suddenly appears out of nowhere but Lincoln didn't.
"What can i say, maybe I have a special power that lets me know where you are hehehe."said Lincoln who was technically telling the truth thanks to the fact that he had access to Observation Haki from when he was Denjiro.
"...You reak of death..."said Lucy and this certainly caught Lincoln off guard.
"What?"he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know why but whenever I look at you it's like you are radiating with the power of death all around you. It's like Death cannot touch you until you decide when it's time."said Lucy as Lincoln took a moment to take that in.
"You have no idea..."said Lincoln as he knew that Lucy had some truth to her words as death seem to follow him wherever he went in his past lives.
Always trying to take him but never succeeding until he reached an old age...when he was ready to move on from the world he was in to the next one.
"Lucy just remember no matter what happens I'm always your brother. Lets go down already as it is almost lunch time and dad made his famous Lynnsagna."said Lincoln as he put his comic book in his back pocket and grabbed Lucy by her hand.
Lucy looked at him, not with fear but fascination as Lucy could tell that ber big brother wasn't normal, she just couldn't really figure out what exactly was different about him as his soul was really different from everyone else in her family. His soul was... interesting as it appeared to have so much knowledge and his soul appeared to know suffering...she didn't understand why as he was too young and as far as she knew nothing ever bad happened to her family.
But as she saw him smiling at her she couldn't help but sort of smiled back as she could tell there was honesty in his words and he was right. No matter what happened he would always be her big brother.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her stomach and she was indeed hungry and like everyone else despite not showing it she did love her father's cooking very much so whatever moment of hesitation she followed Lincoln with her hand holding his own down the hill as every other member of the Loud family joined their parents at the picnic area for their father's Lynnsagna.
Lucy felt especially safe as she knew that if anything were to happen her big brother would always be there as besides everything else in his soul she could sense a protector with a need to protect those precious to him.
And she had no doubt he would protect her and the rest of her sisters with every ounce of strength in his body.
