"The Desire Grand Prix. A game where you have to fight for your ideal world. But I think that the game's getting a little ridiculous! All of my siblings have been invited to play the game. And I'm not sure what Kaiba's thinking! Bringing them into the game is a bad idea, I only joined the game because I wanted to fix a mistake that I made! But I'm worried that they're gonna get killed on the first round. I know what it's like to feel powerless, and that's something I never want to experience again!"
Lynn Loud Jr put her phone in her pocket. It was lucky her ball gown had pockets in it or she'd be in trouble. She was in the Kaiba Dome, waiting for the 36th Desire Grand Prix to begin. She had just learned that her siblings would join her in the next round. Lynn wasn't fussed about it but she couldn't argue with Seto Kaiba. She'd just have to win again, that's all. As she fixed her gown, Lincoln appeared. "Hey, Lynn!" He said casually. "What do you want Stinkoln?" Lynn grunted as she reached for her crooked shoes. "Do you have to be so hostile?" Lincoln asked. "I can't help it!"Lynn said as she finally fixed her shoes. "I don't know if you noticed this yet but this is a competition. Every man for himself!" "What if it wasn't like that Lynn?" Lincoln asked casually. Lynn looked at him like he had two heads. Then she sighed. "I dunno. But I think with all 11 of us competing for the grand prize, it isn't going to be easy." "I wonder what their desires are going to be?" Lincoln thought, scratching his head in curiosity. Lynn smiled at her brother, who was never one to think about the negative things. "Not sure." She said, shaking her head. "But I do know that it's gonna be a fight to the finish!" Lincoln rolled his eyes. He knew Lynn was right, but he didn't want to admit it to her. He walked off, while Lynn adjusted the top of her gown. Little did they know that this round of the Desire Grand Prix would be different from all the previous rounds. Lincoln pulled out the Boost buckle and smiled at it. As long as I got this, he thought to himself, I can easily win this round, no problem!
Meanwhile back at the Loud House, Lola was in her room, looking at her Desire Driver. She had no idea what it was for and there weren't any instructions on how it worked! She groaned in frustration. If she didn't find out how to use it she'd be pretty screwed. Lola had managed to hide the box from her sisters but she was worried that she would be found out! Just then, she remembered how Lincoln had used it. She placed the box with the Desire Driver in it on her tea party table. Normally she would use the table to enjoy a cup of tea but now wasn't the time. Looking around carefully to make sure that no one was watching her, Lola carefully took the Desire Driver out of the box and placed it on her waist, which automatically attached itself to her. Lola stifled a little scream, trying not to worry her family. She took the pink ID core out of the box and looked at it. Lola looked at herself in the mirror. She was still wearing the same pink strapless ball gown that she wore when she and Lincoln got home yesterday. Lincoln wasn't sure that the gown she wore at Cafe Nascita was going to hold up. She was glad that her brother bought her a new gown because most of her clothes were in the wash. She was surprised to find that the Desire Driver actually worked with her gown. She carefully placed the ID core into the Desire Driver.
ENTRY.
The next thing Lola knew, she was in an unknown room with a lot of unknown people. She noticed that Lincoln and Lynn were among them but she didn't say anything. The last thing she wanted was to draw attention to herself. Just then a voice barked out of the middle of the room. Lola glanced at the sound of the voice only to see a young man wearing a long white sleeveless KaibaCorp-designed coat featuring shoulder pads and a raised studded collar, with black sleeves from his shirt coming out from under, extra belts in pairs strapped around his upper arms and shins and black jean pants standing on a platform in the middle of the room.
"DUELISTS!" The man barked at the crowd. "It is I Seto Kaiba, and once again I'm about to change your lives forever. For too long, we have been forced to live in this reality. It's tedious- poorly designed and pathetically constructed. If the one responsible was in my employ, I'd have him fired. I knew that I could do better... and I have! The time is now to grab the reigns of the world! Whoever wins this battle will have their ideal world made! I never settled for mediocrity and neither should you! You stand before me, the greatest champions in the world, but only one will get the grand prize. Welcome to the Desire Grand Prix! When you wonder who is behind this great miracle, you'll have a name! And that name is ... SETO KAIBA!"

Lola couldn't even believe what she was hearing. A game where the winner got their ideal world? Surely she was dreaming! She pinched herself to try to wake herself up. "Ouch!" She yelled in pain. Ok, not dreaming, Lola thought rubbing her arm. "Lola?" A voice said from behind her. Lola turned around to see her twin sister standing next to her. "Lana!?" She said in shock. "What are you doing here!?" Lana shrugged. "Beats me." She said as she fixed her cap. "Looks like you and I are in this tournament together." Lola looked at Lana and smiled. Then she noticed that Lana was holding a blank card in her hand. "What's that for?" Lola asked. "Apparently, you need to write your desire down on the card." Lana said as she showed her twin what she wrote on the card.
A world where I'm part of Team 5D's.
"Oh wow!" Lola said, impressed by her twin's desire. "That's amazing." "So what are you gonna write on your card?" Lana asked. The pageant princess just shrugged. "I haven't worked it out yet." She admitted. "maybe I'll think of something later." "Has everyone written their desires down?" Kaiba asked. "If you have, I believe it's time for the first round."
Lola sighed as she brushed off her gown. Both Lana and her had been somehow transported to Scratchy Bottom Campgrounds for the first round. "I despise this place every time we're here!" Lola groaned. "Speak for yourself." Lana grinned. Just then, Kaiba's voice echoed throughout the campgrounds. "Hope you don't mind the conditions of this place!" He said. "I needed a place that was really well secluded. Now let's begin round 1: a treasure hunt game!" "Seriously!?" Lola snapped as she swatted away another mosquito. "The rules are quite simple. Hidden throughout these musty old campgrounds are a bunch of chests with items inside them. Make sure you grab them! Or you wouldn't want to pay the price!" Kaiba explained. Lola turned to Lana but her twin was already off. "Oh, GREAT!" She groaned in annoyance. Swatting more flies, she ran off (as well as she could in heels) to find one of the chests. But unknown to her, Lincoln smiled as he watched her little sister struggle against the flies. "Good luck Lola."He smirked. Holding a buckle that looked like a faucet, Lincoln walked off. Mokuba watched as Lincoln tossed the buckle and caught it in his hand. "Hey, hey! Make it good, kid. I'm calling Ernie and laying 35 on you." Mokuba said, pulling out his phone and dialling in a number. "Hey, Big Ernie! It's Mokuba. I need to make a bet."
Meanwhile, Lola wasn't having any luck with finding the chests. Those that she found were already opened. And it wasn't helping that flies and other insects were attacking her. This REALLY isn't my day! Lola angrily thought. Meanwhile, Lana was enjoying herself (well, as much as she could despite being in a gown). She had already found two buckles and was going for lucky number three. Just then when she was about to grab another chest, she was attacked by a shadow! Lana gasped in horror. Luckily, Lincoln managed to get the shadow out of the way before the vicious monster could strike her. "Thanks, Linc!" Lana sighed in relief. "Happy to help." Lincoln smiled at his little sister. He took out the faucet-like buckle and slotted it onto the left side of the Driver.
SET!
Lana grinned as Lincoln struck a heroic pose and snapped his fingers. SNAP! "Henshin!" Lincoln said as he turned the tap on the buckle. Once again, Lincoln transformed into his Ace Savvy outfit but instead of armour, he ended up receiving a water pump-like weapon.
ARMED WATER! READY? FIGHT!
Lincoln pointed the pump weapon at the shadow only to get a little squirt of water from it. "What the-?! Where's the water pressure?" He asked, obviously not impressed. The shadow swarmed towards Lincoln who whacked it with the pipe weapon. "Oh, never mind." He said, scratching his head. "It's actually quite effective." Little did Lincoln know that he was being watched. A young boy wearing a battered red jacket smiled at him through the trees. "Sweet. This is really something!" He said looking at a card in his hand. "I gotta get my game on!"
Meanwhile, Lola was still not having any luck. When the shadows attacked, she tried to hide from them but that didn't really help. Let's face it, in a rundown campground there isn't anywhere to hide. Lola screamed in horror as she was swarmed by the shadows. But then Lincoln swatted the shadows away with his pipe weapon. But they only kept coming back. "Guess it's time for this." Lincoln said as he inserted the red and blue buckle from yesterday into his Desire Driver.
BUILD DRIVER!
Lincoln whacked another shadow into a nearby tree with the pipe weapon as he pressed the buckle. Soon he was back in the red and blue armour with the drill-like weapon in his hand.
BEST MATCH! BUILD! READY? FIGHT!
Lana pulled Lola out of the way as Lincoln used the drill weapon to pierce clean through a shadow. "I THOUGHT YOU ABANDONED ME!" Lola screamed at her twin as they ran away from the fight. "Nice to see you too Lola." Lana muttered under her breath. As the twins ran to safety, Lincoln managed to stop the shadows' assault. "That'll teach you to harass children!" Lincoln yelled as the last shadow exploded. Lincoln brushed off his armour and ran off to find his sisters.
Lincoln found his sisters in a nearby clearing. Lola was still swatting bugs away while Lana was trying to help her. "Hold still Lols!" Lana shouted as her twin swatted at the flies circling her head. Lincoln noticed that Lana was holding a can of bug repellent. But as usual, the pageant princess wasn't making it easy. "Get away from me!" Lola screamed angrily. "I've had enough of this game! I want to go home!" "Too bad." Lincoln muttered under his breath. He turned away from the twins and walked off just as Lola burst into tears. Maybe letting Lola into the game was a mistake, Lincoln thought pulling out the Boost buckle. But as long as I got this, I'll win this no problemo! Just then Lincoln felt something pull on his pants leg. he looked down and saw his baby sister, Lily at his feet. "Inkin'!" Lily happily babbled. Lincoln happily smiled and picked up Lily. The youngest Loud was wearing a baby-sized lavender ball gown. She did look like a doll that belonged in Lola's bedroom. But Lincoln knew that now wasn't the time to admire her. Lincoln placed Lily on the grass and started to walk away. He felt bad about leaving her alone but he had to stay focused. But Lily was following him around. I really don't have time for this! Lincoln thought angrily.
Meanwhile back at the Kaiba Dome, Kaiba was watching on the monitors as the first event of the Desire Grand Prix progressed. He saw on one of the screens an image of the twins still in the clearing. Lola was still crying and Lana was trying desperately to get her to calm down. Kaiba scoffed at this. "Amateur." He said. "Fire whoever chose her. Kaiba Corp's products shouldn't bend that easily." Then he noticed the image of Lincoln on another screen. "Huh, that boy's really got guts." Kaiba said as he zoomed in on Lincoln. Then he noticed Lily was waddling behind her big brother. Yeesh, better get Mokuba to get a diaper change bag handy, he thought.
Meanwhile back at the campgrounds, Lincoln was still working on finding items to add to his inventory. I'm not going to lose here, he thought to himself. I still need to uncover the truth! Just then a blood-curdling scream was heard. Lincoln ran towards the direction where the scream had come from only to find another monster that looked like a twisted game character and Lola's tiara on the ground.
EX-AID!
Lincoln gritted his teeth in anger. "Why you-!" He seethed as he pulled out the Boost buckle and slotted it into the left side of his Desire Driver.
SET!
Lincoln struck a heroic pose and snapped his fingers. SNAP! "Henshin!" Lincoln said as he revved the handle on the Boost buckle, transforming into his Ace Savvy suit with the Boost armour on his top half.
BOOST! READY? FIGHT!
Angrily, Lincoln charged at the monster. But the monster somehow saw him coming and swung at him, hitting him in the chest. Lincoln stumbled around, temporarily winded. Meanwhile, Mokuba was still on the phone talking to his client. "Yo, Big Ernie! Yeah, it's Mokuba. I want to lay down some bucks on a bet." He ducked out of the way as Lincoln was hurtled through the air before landing in a nearby river with a splash. "Hey, what, are we strangers? You know I'm good for it!"
Lincoln grimaced in pain as he picked himself up. He was wet and in a load of pain. But he wasn't gonna give up. He had to win, no matter what! It was his only chance to escape his sisters' shadows! But before he could pick himself up, a net was somehow thrown onto him. Lincoln tried to get the net off him but he was in too much pain. Just then Lincoln heard a voice from above him. "Forget it, Young man!" it snapped at him. "That net is pure sphinx hair." Lincoln groaned as he changed back to his pinstripe suit, collapsing due to his injuries. The current of the river started to pull Lincoln downstream. Mokuba was watching the whole thing, trying not to be seen. "Ok, Mokuba." He muttered to himself. "Just keep quiet. They'll never know you're here." Just then he stepped on a twig, making it snap. "Dang it!" He groaned as he ran off to find Lynn.
Meanwhile back at the Kaiba Dome, Kaiba had seen the whole thing unfurl on the monitors. "They've never had equipment like that before." He said to himself. He contacted Mokuba on a monitor screen. The picture showed his brother looking out of breath as he ran through the campgrounds. "Seto! Before you say anything-" Mokuba started but Kaiba cut him off. "I already know what's happening Mokuba. How'd this happen?" "I dunno." Mokuba admitted. "But he's heading downstream faster than a school of tuna! I'm getting Lynn and trying to get him out of there."Kaiba looked at the screen and gasped. Somehow Lola (still surrounded by bugs but not as many as before) was on the edge of the riverbank and was attempting to rescue Lincoln! "Better hurry Mokuba," He said quickly. "Or we're gonna have another causality."
Back at the campground, Lola had just managed to shake off Lana and was sitting near the river, trying to collect herself. She was still not doing well in this treasure hunt. "Why am I even here?!" She screamed in anger. She wasn't a fighter, she was a pageant champion! She angrily removed her ID Core from her Desire Driver and was just about ready to throw it in the water in a fit of rage when she saw Lincoln unconscious, floating down the river in the net. "Linky?" She gasped. What was her brother doing unconsciously floating in the water? She looked around frantically, looking for someone to help her rescue him but couldn't find anyone. "Oh, why me?" She groaned in frustration as she tried to reach out to grab Lincoln. But unfortunately for her, Lincoln was too far out for her to reach. Lola was getting pretty scared. "Oh no!" She said as her brother floated away. "I can't believe that I'm gonna be the one who saw her only brother drown!" Just then she looked at her ID Core which was near the edge of her gown. She wanted to plug it back into her Desire Driver and try to help her brother out but she was scared. Everything that happened to her today was just too much for her! Lola broke down in tears, upset that she couldn't do anything about her brother drowning. Just then, Lynn burst through the trees. The athlete of the Loud family was in the modified Strong Suit costume with the Magnum armour on her top half. "Lola?" Lynn asked in concern. "Lynn, you gotta help me!" Lola sobbed pointing at Lincoln in the river. Lynn looked at the river and saw Lincoln floating unconscious in the river. "What the-? Stinkoln?" Lynn gasped. "How did this happen?" "I don't know how." Lola sobbed. "But please help him, Lynn!" Lynn looked at Lola and saw that she was extremely upset. "Are you sure you're not blackmailing me right now?" She asked looking at her little sister, hands crossed. "No!" Lola wailed, which surprised Lynn. "You have to save him, Lynn! I LOVE him!" Lynn was shocked by what her little sister was saying. Did she love Lincoln? "Why didn't you tell us, Lola?!" She asked in concern. "I was worried that you would get defensive!" Lola replied through her tears.
Lynn was surprised by Lola's outburst but she knew that now wasn't the time to lecture her. Lynn looked at her brother in the water. It was then that she saw that the net Lincoln was tangled up in was caught on a rock not far from the riverbank. That explained why Lincoln wasn't floating further down the river. Lynn handed Lola a tissue to dry her eyes. As soon she dried her eyes Lola saw the rock her brother was tied to. "Oh." She said, feeling a little bit silly. "So uh, how do we get him out of the water?" Lynn reached for the Magnum Shooter 40X and put her hand on the barrel chamber. "Well we need to loosen the net he's in but it's sphinx hair so it can jam our Desire Drivers." She said putting her hand on her chin. "We need to be careful."
Then she noticed that Lola's Desire Driver didn't have its ID Core. "I don't think I'm suited for this game." Lola said before Lynn could even ask. Lynn groaned. She'd need to have a little talk with her sister when they got Lincoln out of the then Lola noticed an item box nearby where they were standing. She went over and picked it up. Lynn watched her sister walk back to her. "I- I got one!" Lola said in disbelief. "Why don't you open it?" Lynn said calmly. Lola nodded and opened the item box to reveal a purple buckle with a rib cage-like shape inside it. Lynn gasped in disbelief. "The Zombie buckle?" She said surprised. "That's a good grab." Lola looked at it in disgust. "Seriously?" She asked in disbelief. Lynn put her hand on her little sister's shoulder. "Look, I don't why you were chosen to do this game but you're here now!" Lynn said looking at Lola. "If you really want your ideal world, you gotta fight for it." "But I don't know what I want my ideal world to be like." Lola sighed. Lynn looked in shock. "Bu- but if you don't know what your ideal world is to be, then how can you fight for it!?" She gasped. "I don't know what I want my ideal world to be!" Lola cried. Lynn realised that Lola was telling the truth. Lola sighed as she sat down by the riverbed. "Look, I know I may behave like a brat sometimes Lynn." She said softly. " But that's because I don't want to be rejected by anyone. I may act confident on a pageant stage But most of the time... I'm terrified." Lynn sat down next to her. "Terrified of what?" Lynn asked. "Terrified of being alone." Lola sniffed.
Lynn looked at her little sister, surprised by how she really felt. "How come you never told me that before?" She asked. "I was terrified that you and everyone else would laugh at me." Lola said looking at the ground in shame. "It would be like the "Princess Pony" incident all over again." "It wasn't Lincoln that put that comic in the toilet!" Lynn sighed. Lola looked at her in disbelief. "What?! Then who was it?" She asked. "It was Lucy." Lynn admitted. " I knew that it was her and I didn't stand up for her. I know how you feel Lola, But you're not the only failure here." "How come?" Lola asked. "Remember the luck incident? The one that ended with Lincoln being stuck in the squirrel suit?" Lynn grimaced as she recalled the incident. "That's why I joined the Desire Grand Prix. I wanted to reunite our family after being the one who pulled it apart. I felt that I had to fix my mis-" "Aw, Lynn." A voice came from the river said. "You're gonna break my heart." Lynn and Lola looked at the river and saw Lincoln who had just regained consciousness."BRO!" Lynn gasped in surprise. "Linky! You're okay!" Lola said overjoyed. "Yeah, I'm fine." Lincoln said as he tried to get out of the net. "I would be better if I wasn't soaking wet in the river." "Don't worry Stinkoln!" Lynn said finally pulling herself together. "We'll get you out of this mess."
Back at the Kaiba Dome, Kaiba watched as Lynn and Lola pulled Lincoln out of the water. He had overheard Lola's conversation with Lynn and he was a little surprised that she didn't know what she wanted her ideal world to be. Amusing, Kaiba thought to himself. I must keep an eye on Miss Lola Loud. If I'm right, she could be a key player in the Desire Grand Prix. Kaiba zoomed in on Lola's face. This was definitely going to be an interesting match.
Back at the campgrounds, Lola and Lynn waited for Lincoln who was wringing out his jacket. When he was down, he put his jacket back on and turned to face his sisters. "How much did you hear?" Lynn asked her little brother. "A lot." Lincoln replied "Especially the part about Lola being in love with me." Lola hung her head in shame. But Lincoln smiled and stroked his little sister's hair. "It's Ok." He said. "I knew about your crush on me for a while now Lola. You don't need to hide it from me." Lola was surprised by this. But before she could say anything, The monster that threw Lincoln into the river stomped into the clearing. Lincoln was about to pull the boost buckle out of his pocket when Lynn stopped him. "Leave him to me, Lil' Bro." She said, before turning to Lola. "Take care of him, Lola." Lola nodded and helped Lincoln sit down as Lynn cracked her knuckles. "Alright, game on!" She grinned as readied the Magnum Shooter 40X.
Insert song: Be The Winners by Takayoshi Tanimoto
Lynn fired a shot at the monster, hoping to throw it off balance. But the shot didn't seem to rattle it as it bounced off harmlessly. The monster roared at Lynn and charged at her. Lynn dodged the monster causing it to fall into the river. Lincoln was trying to rest and recover from his injuries but he couldn't stand seeing his sister getting hurt! But it looked like Lynn was doing a decent job. The monster flailed about as it tried to get out of the water. "Crunch time!" Lynn grinned as she spun the barrel on the Magnum buckle and pulled the trigger.
MAGNUM! STRIKE!
A huge charge of energy built up inside the Magnum Shooter 40X. Lynn fired the energy at the monster who was in the water, making it explode and splashing water everywhere! Lola screamed as she got hit by the water. But luckily it did get rid of the insects that were swarming around her. Lincoln (who had transformed into the Boost armour) dried her off using the armour as a blowdryer. "Thanks, Linky." Lola said, relieved to be not swarmed by bugs. "No problem Lola." Lincoln smiled. Just then Lola noticed a gear near the edge of her gown. She picked it up and looked at it before picking up her ID core. On the gear was a hero who looked like a game character and the year 2016. "How'd this get here?" Lola asked in confusion. But before Lincoln or Lynn could reply, Kaiba appeared. "Good job on collecting the items." He said. "Now, please come this way." Lola, Lynn and Lincoln gave a nervous look before following Kaiba.
Those who lose their life during the game will be expelled from this world. Please be careful.
