Lincoln Loud, Quiet Kid - Chapter 3 (Yandertale)

AN: This one is an AU where Lincoln Loud is labeled as the certain cliche/trope called "The Quiet Kid". This may contain dark, comedic or mature themes not suitable for kids. Discretion and/or Parental Involvement/Adult Supervision might be advised. As per rule of AU/FanFics, there will be some, if not little to no similarities to the canon continuity. So, for those who are weary of bad episodes like NSL, things will be different… I can assure you. It may or may not happen, same with the "Movie", or the Newer Seasons of TLH/TC. And I don't plan on rehashing what is written in Canon… rather, there will be certain chapters that doesn't follow the canon seasons from beginning to the recent. This may appear as a rehash of what the Canon is but with Lincoln having the personality trait of the "Quiet One" (Just search of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji in Google).

TLH/TC belongs to Nickelodeon/Viacom.

That said, please enjoy. Leave a like, follow, review and stay safe. Shalom Aleichem/Peace be with You! To God be all the Glory! And PLEASE READ AN BELOW TOO!

Sit down children and do not quail. "LOVE" and "Dreams" will sure prevail. In this chapter a ship will sail. Hear the story called Yandertale. As the name implies, it's a tale of a Yandere girl. So, what exactly is a Yandere… well it's a Japanese compound word from Yanderu or sick/crazed and Deredere which means love-smitten/enamoured. So, in full terminology, Yandere means a person so lovesick and yearning for his/her "senpai" or the object of his/her love, to point of idolizing, worshiping and/or obsession, that the person will undertake extremes to have the target of affection. That includes even sinful deeds such as crimes and lawbreaking [stealing or worse… murder].

Now that you know the definition, let us dive into the story… the Yandertale.

-Flashback: 2 years ago, in Royal Woods Elementary-

There was once a girl whose life is devoid of color. She's pretty enough to attract the attention of most boys in elementary and good in academics. Yet to her, all of them felt hollow. She kept a facade of being "Little Miss Perfect", being flexible in many aspects. Social skills and being trustworthy, sports, logic/mathematics, cheery, bubbly and smiling. But deep down, all of them are mere lies to keep the attention to her. Trying to fill a void that doesn't seem to fill. Her parents seemed to be blind to this emptiness and only ever notices how she had a wide circle of friends, along with her capabilities in school.

Everything to her seemed black and white. She didn't mind double crossing those who dare go against her… as long as she gets what she wants: recognition and clout… all to fill that emptiness. She once exposed a girl and have her humiliated by sending a video of her vilest secrets (whether it be embarrassing or a scandal). Some boys made a pact or a truce while others fought against each other. Girls started bullying said the victim of the scheme and lost her social circle out of fear of safety/security. The boys that were once fooled by this witch all detached from her and labeled the poor sap with all pranks and negative connotation you can think of. This forced a removable from enrollment and moved out of state while the victim became traumatized, a former shell of her old self.

As for this Miss Perfect, despite all that, it wasn't enough. She still felt empty after that excruciation that she placed on that poor belle. She may have deserved it, but that was too much for an elementary girl. The school staff had settled everything to ensure that the Department of Education will not demerit the school. They are able to find a new transfer student to fill the one that left. This transfer student will be her new classmate and although this one is accelerated by one year due to passing a placement exam, he was to be treated with unbiased scrutiny.

The day of the transfer student to come, all the way from Chicago, is the day that this girl has to keep up a facade to get to his good side. Yes, she knows that the fresh meat is a boy. But she became careless due to excitement. She didn't notice a wet floor sign and slipped from the drenched ground from her negligence. It was about to ruin her good physique, if she wasn't caught and saved by her white-haired "knight" in orange armor. That was the day that colors finally reached her eyes. She had a crush… no, correction. She's in love. Maniacally, desperately, obsessively in love. She wants him. She needs him. She filled the void that she's been longing to fulfill. He's hers and hers alone… she'll do whatever it takes for him to love her back. She'll cut down anyone who dares stand in her way.

When the class started, she learned that the white-haired boy in orange is the very boy that will transfer in her class. That is when his name was revealed…

Lincoln Loud. The name of whom she loved… forever engraved in her mind and HEART.

-Flashback End-

May I do the honors Lincoln? Thank you in advance…

Okay, this chapter happened during the supposed episode "Making the Case". So, I'm begging the question, does Lincoln have any trophy since he's different from the Canon-Verse? Answer… No, does not. He's allowing me to explain. You see, like his canon counterpart, he doesn't have any trophy unlike the rest of the girls. But not because he's not talented. Heck, even in the Canon-Movie… he dang talented. Multi-talented since he's a "Jack-of-all-trades" and mostly good at fine arts and crafts. He helps Lori sort her clubs, Leni with her sewing materials, Luna to her tunes, Luan with her comedy videos and v-tuber persona, LJ with her training regimen, Lucy with her poems, Lana with pet training, Lola with her pageantry, Lisa with her experiments and formulas… and I guess, even Lily. He's pretty much capable of plenty.

So why exactly that he doesn't have any trophy nor a proof of participation. Nary a medal nor a certificate is found in his case. Well… he's not bothered by it. He is listless with matters of talent. He had no concrete reason to showoff, nor a reason to expose whatever capabilities he had. Well, there's a saying in the 36 Stratagems by Wang Jingze: Fool the sky to cross the sea. To openly act as if you are intending one thing then do something else. Basically, never reveal your cards until the others have grown complacent/conceited with theirs. Once the time is ripe to strike, surprise them that they will be left vulnerable to so much. Trickery and deception are key. Look weak when you're strong and look strong if you're weak.

Lincoln is capable enough of sweeping the floor with anyone. But if he reveals his trumps now, they'll study its weakness and he'll be done for. He'll whatever it takes to get his peaceful life… and getting the attention or the school's equivalent of "the paparazzi" isn't good for his plans. He wanted peace and quiet, away from anyone who'd step on his territory.

"So, are you going to join that video contest, Lincoln?", asked Clyde. Lincoln looked at him and slightly shook his head. "But your sisters have trophies. I haven't seen you do participate in competitions.", Clyde added. "Clyde, If I wanted a trophy… I could have gotten one even before.", Lincoln countered. Then Ronnie came in to complete their group. "Heya! Clyde and Link… so, any plan on joining the contest?", she asked. Both boys shook their heads as affirmation that they have no intention to join the contest. "Oh good. I mean, as much as good having a trophy is… video contests are usually for clout chasers and attention seekers.", the Latina said to them. "Still, it could be good if Lincoln at least has one trophy. I have some accolade from the bake-off.", Clyde said.

Lincoln then wondered, 'What's so important on a lifeless cup or a gold-plated coin? I don't need awards such as that. My capabilities are enough as it is." While it is true, sometimes we have to put on a show to stop people from making the wrong impression of us. Various quotes can be taken from this:

Strike the grass and stomp the earth to scare the serpents - From the 36 Stratagems.

So much depends in reputation, so guard it with your life - From Laws of Power

The whole thing about competition can also be used to stop incoming forces from trying to disrupt him. There has to be a balance between action and inaction. He can't always be on the defensive, he must strike while the iron is hot. When opportunity comes, show power in one, instantaneous strike, that any retaliation whole be deemed obsolete and weak.

"I guess this may keep me in peace. By joining and winning one contest, people will stop thinking that I'm an easy target and leave me alone.", Lincoln thought and devised something to join a competition… but not now. The time isn't ripe for the taking. "I might join a contest soon. But I won't participate in the video contest. Besides, the winning video is about a hamster… as ridiculous as it may seem.", Lincoln said to them. "I know right! It seems that people lacked a common sense in talent and just follow whatever is trending! How is a hamster video more popular than others?", Ronnie ranted. "I mean, it's a cute hamster… what's there to expect?", Clyde retorted. "Well, those viewers are a bunch of estúpidos!", Ronnie said back.

They're right… somehow, they are. But he won't deny that it is an effective bait to lure people into viewing something. Lincoln needs a strategy to acquire the opportunity for a contest… but he cannot ask Ronnie and Clyde.

Law of Power 2 - Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How to Use Enemies. Friends are likely to be envious and betray you. The best thing is to hire your enemy, as they will try to prove they are trustworthy. Friends will always try to earn your trust via flattery. Enemies will point your flaws so you can improve on them and fix them… like fixing a boat with holes using tape or adhesive putties. In that way, the boat floats rather than sink.

Lincoln will have to use somebody else as tool to attaining some form of spotlight or recognition. The teachers, perhaps… maybe some of those former bullies of his sisters. Speaking of sister, he can't ask them either.

Law of Power 3 - Conceal your Intentions. Lead people astray when it comes to intents. Ensure they don't realize your goals and plans too soon. They may react to thwart them. Lean them enough to the fog and smoke until it is too late for them to react and prepare defense.

This is useful to ensure none would dare sabotage him. Minor inconvenience, no matter how small, is still inconvenience. Better make counter plans beneath plans to maintain a direction towards the goal. This is to ensure victory regardless of all the compromises made.

"I'll win one accolade soon, but not now. Right now, I don't plan on anything.", Lincoln lied as naturally as he breathes. He's scheming something. But it's still truth, that he wouldn't join a video contest. They soon prepare to go home as the school hours are almost over.

Somewhere in the shadows of the school halls, a figure seems to spy on the trio.

"So, my white knight wants to join a contest… maybe I can pull some strings and use that to my advantage of wooing him from that pathetic, greasy tomboy. And Linky will be mine."

Once the trio had reached the school exit, Lincoln stops while Clyde and Ronnie continued down the stairs. "Lincoln, what's wrong?", Clyde asked. Again, Lincoln lied as he breathes, "You both go on ahead, I'm going to get something that I almost forgot." They nodded and Ronnie replied, "Okay. See you tomorrow, Lame-O. Hope we can play at the arcade some time."

The two of them left as Lincoln returned. We knew he deceived his two best friends… sort of. He didn't really forget something… almost. He is going to ask a teacher to get a reference on what contest is available for him to join in. So, in turn, he was going to get something back from the school for advance reference. As he browsed and passed through the halls, he bumped into someone.

"Ouch… hey watch where… Link- I mean, Loud!?", a girl with red, curly hair asked. "Are you alright, Timberline?", Lincoln asked as he reached his hands to help her stand. "I'm fine, Loud… and please just call me Cristina. My cousin is a Timberline, so I don't really want the attention.", she replied.

Cristina Timberline, one of the few students of RW Elementary and a relative to a certain beauty model and blogger, Quince Timberline (or as she was often called in her social media, Thicc QT).

"Then please… just call me Lincoln. Loud is the name of my sisters. I don't need attention or anyone trying to befriend me just to get to one of my sisters. Believe me, it's often an occurrence that they'll just use me to woo one of my sisters and I reject them immediately.", Lincoln added.

"Oh my gosh, he's the one. He protects girls and treats them as people.", Cristina thought to herself as if she scored a win in the lottery. "So, whatcha doing here?", she asked the Quiet Kid. "I needed to get something that I forgot.", Lincoln bluffed. "Oh… well, let me help you for that.", Cristina offered as she continued to converse with Lincoln. She followed him despite Lincoln's best effort to exhaust her or get her to leave by confusing his pathways. But Cristina is persistent and endured the Quiet Kid's scheme. "I heard that you plan to join a contest. Maybe I can help you with that.", she offered.

From Laws 12 and 13 - Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim… and when asking for help, cater and appeal to their self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude.

"Alright, I do need some help. I was going to the teachers' lounge to know any competition to join. If you can help me on that, that would do me much.", Lincoln accepted and admitted. Though he is suspicious of the girl's motive, but with the look on her face, he sensed that she's doing things out of selfishness… perhaps to get closer to him and to someone in his life. Clyde, maybe? But whatever it was, he's being sure to cater to what she desires from him.

"I may be able to pull some strings to find something for you.", Cristina gleefully as Lincoln sighed. "But let it be not said that I owe you. I'll give one thing in my power as a reward for this.", Lincoln said stoically. "Well, then… how about when I got you something, we hang out?", Cristina said. Lincoln nodded in agreement. The Quiet boy thanked her and told her that it was going to be difficult for him to pull it off but with her help, it may be possible. But she does not know that it was a blatant lie. Lincoln can handle himself, but a backup plan is never a bad idea.

Law 46 - Never appear too perfect.People might think you will control them. Give them a false sense of freedom by showing few flaws. Be relateable to them, it'll bait or lure them to you. Just as God turned man via Jesus to lure mankind to his graces. Better someone they could associate to than one they wouldn't.

Lincoln gave her the permission to do what must be done before waving goodbye. He allowed her to the task as he left to prepare. Cristina smirked, believing that she had won him over. She starts her plan and attempts to find any contest suitable for the resident Loud boy.

Meanwhile, in various undisclosed areas of the school, girls spied on the transaction between the Quiet Kid and the little Timberline. These girls thought only of one thing:

'Dang that pretentious Cristina. Earning brownie points from Lincoln. Next time, I'll strike when the opportunity come, and Lincoln will be mine! I will not lose to someone like her!'

As Lincoln left, he also escorted some of his younger sisters to get home. Once he does get home, he asked Lisa for assistance to look into a few contests he could participate in RW Elementary. Lisa agreed and with her tech-smarts, was able to look into the database of the school. Lincoln scanned carefully and found one that suits him. He obtained a list of requirements, rules and schedule of participation to ready himself.

Law 29 - Plan all the way to the end. Think of long-term than short-term. Consider the consequences and possibilities in every action and plan from there. And even in uncertainties, make a plan from the "what-ifs". Make counter plans, and counter beneath counter plans. Like a Hydra or a tree root, don't be too rigid and singular. Look for backups and backups your backups.

At the very next day, Cristina joined Lincoln in lunch. Ronnie, Clyde and his friends (Rusty, Liam and Zach) joined along with. "Dude, how are you able to get Miss Perfect to join us?", Rusty asked. "I did not invite her here. She's simply here for an errand.", Lincoln honesty said. "Indeed, I have. Here's a list along with the requirements and rules. The schedules however varies since there might come that they have to readjust in case of unforeseen events.", Cristina glamorously proclaimed. Lincoln looked at the list and found one that matches his pick with Lisa, or rather… he already knew what to pick since he went home. He just made a facade of choosing. "Are you sure you're going to enter that?", Liam asked. "He seems certain so don't try to stop him.", Ronnie implied. "We're not. It's just that, Lincoln's been… never the type to enter at anything. Despite his grades, he never joined anything, not even clubs.", Zach added. "What are his grades again?", Ronnie asked. "He always tend to get an absolute B grade in every subject. I dunno if he's doing it on purpose or not.", Clyde revealed.

Lincoln simply just sips his drink and accepted the suggested contest (which he picked). "Well, now that I was able to give you a contest to join, how about you fulfil the end of your bargain? You chose the place and time after school.", Cristina said. "Gus' Game & Grub, immediately after school. Be there or be square.", Lincoln nonchalantly said which Cristina accepted. She left as the other boys are left bewildered. "Did she just asked you out on a date?", Rusty said. "Not exactly. Clyde and Ronnie, you're joining. Games on my allowance.", Lincoln said. "Thanks, Lame-O! Appreciated it, but I can always pay. I ain't no caso de caridad.", Ronnie said. "Thanks buddy! If we do our homework early, we can same much time!", Clyde added.

'So Lincoln is joining a quiz contest. Not bad for an absolute B-grader but… That might not earn him the win!', some the friends thought.

Only I get to know this secret… and so are you readers out there. But Lincoln can basically go for an S-class Grade or an A++ grade. The only reason to remain at average of C and B is… well, for trickery. He's not one to flaunt his tricks and aces. Yes, Lincoln could have been the perfect genius as implied that he accelerated the grades. But as the saying goes, "Fool your enemies by fooling your friends".

After school, Lincoln had come to Gus' Games & Grub, along with Ronnie and Clyde. Cristina felt a bit awkward on seeing this. "Uh, Lincoln. When I asked if we could hang out, this wasn't in my mind.", she said. "If you wanna be my friend, you'll soon have to get along with them as well. Besides, you did not specify that they could not come. You just simply asked for us to hangout… well here we are, spending time with each other. As compensation for your efforts, I obliged your request.", the stoic Loud replied. Cristina felt defeated since it was her fault that she wasn't specific on her request. But she accepted it nevertheless.

Lincoln paid for the games and food as they continued enjoying the time of their lives. Cristina protested that she pay for all of them, but Lincoln insisted on paying. On a stalemate, they both agreed to just simply pay for what they've ordered instead, as the same for Clyde and Ronnie.

Law 40 - Despise a Free Lunch. Never accept what people give you for free as there will be ulterior motives. Nothing is free, it will come with some favor or exchange. If they give you something for free, it's not… they plan to control you [buy your loyalty, patronage or have you do them a favor]. Exert your authority by rejecting what they offer for free. Accept or purchase things that are honestly priced/costly but learn to bargain or discuss reductions.

"Thanks for taking us out for this time, Lame-O. I had a great time!", Ronnie said to Lincoln. The white-haired boy didn't say much and waved off her gratitude. "We better get going or we might miss curfew. Besides, the homework seems easy anyway.", Clyde said. Both walked home as Cristina and Lincoln are left in the place. "Say, Lincoln. Do you… perhaps like Santiago?", Cristina asked. "Maybe… maybe not. Who knows really? We're too young to define it.", Lincoln replied and thought to himself.

'Love is an abstract and sometimes obsolete concept. I don't even know what love is. If people aims to survive, compatibility and adaptability is much preferred than romance. I don't care who I end up with as long as we're in agreement that benefits us both for the survival of our future selves and our progeny.'

"I see… I better get going. Thanks again for hanging out with me, Lincoln.", Cristina said as she left. Lincoln returned to their table and fixed up his things. But he then notices something. A small, smartphone with Cristina's photo as lockscreen. Must be forgotten, he thought. Lincoln then took it and attempted to catch on to her. He noticed her going to the direction where the park it. "Where is she going in this time? Doesn't she realize how dangerous to be alone when nightfall comes? And it's not even at the direction to her home.", Lincoln thought.

He followed her quietly without a sound. There's not much people around as some have made it home early. Once at the park, Lincoln lurked behind a tree where nobody can see him. "Why am I hiding? No one will see us anyway since there's nobody here but us.", Lincoln pondered. Then Cristina began to act.

"Ah… What a pain in the neck." she monologued without the bubbly facade she had before. Lincoln was taken aback of this response and watched things unfold. "You think you're so great! You greasy, pathetic, meat-headed, tomboy! What did Linky-pie even saw in you!?", she spoke in angry yet soft manner. She then stomped one of the metal benches as she repeated the words!

"I hate you! I swear I freaking hate you! I wish you were dead, Santiago! If I could have, I'll kill you myself. Lousy, wretched, Mexican witch!"

Lincoln continued to observe but then Cristina's phone rang. The girl in question then heard this. "Who's there!?"

Lincoln revealed himself out from hiding. "It's me, Lincoln Loud". He then walked towards her and reach the phone to her. "You forgot your phone."

Cristina grabbed the device and quickly placed it to her pocket. "Did you see everything?", she asked. "Would you believe me if I say, I didn't?", Lincoln countered. She leaned close to Lincoln and declared, "I will not go easy on you if you tell anybody."

"What if I do tell? Remember that I have my sisters.", Lincoln countered. "I'll tell everyone that you sexually harassed me.", Cristina retorted. "That will be slander, a false accusation.", Lincoln replied. She then grabbed Lincoln's hand and she placed it to her chest area. "Oh, don't worry. It won't be slander. See, you're fingerprints are here. Now there's proof.", Cristina declared. "Alright, I understand. Let me go, now.", Lincoln asked remaining calm.

She did let go and backed off a bit. "I hope you understand. This is for our sake, Linky-pie. Betray me and I will kill everyone you cherish, and then you and myself. I won't be so forgiving.", Cristina said. "I see. Very well, I won't tell anyone of this. It will be as if it never happened.", Lincoln affirmed. "I believe you, then.", Cristina looked back and shifted her act. "I guess that means I we're even! Thank you so much, Linky-pie. Know that I love you so much.", Cristina said as cheery as she could.

Lincoln's mind/thought: Hey… Cristina… tell me. Between those two personas… which one is the real you?

-Chapter 3: Yandertale END-

[OMAKE chapters may or may not be canon to the lore. But serve as bonus content to this story]

OMAKE 1 - The Fruits of the Loud (Raudo no Kajitsu) Trailer? Or Lore?

Life is not fair… never was and never will be. People are not born equal, despite our desire to be equal, no matter how we delude ourselves of that equality. In such like a tree, there will be fruits that fall first, fruits that will be picked, fruits that will rot on the branch, some will gone early before it ripens, rarely some never ripens at all. Such is a tragedy yet inevitable nevertheless.

This is a story of a certain white-haired boy from 5 years ago, before there was a boy in the Loud family. When Lincoln wasn't a Loud just yet. Lincoln Moriarty, the son of Agatha and Jamie Moriarty, brother of Kayla Moriarty. But it wasn't a normal family. Jamie was a foolish son of a family of fine artists. Spending money lavishly and avariciously. When he got his inheritance, he turned his manor into a resort for profit but didn't work. He was forced to sell it to settle a debt and looked for another place to gain. Once he graduated art school, he became an antique merchant to questionable yet legal clients such as the black market. He met and married a mafia's daughter, Agatha when he fell in love (being a regular client). When the mafia disbanded from arrest, she settled with Jamie and bore Kayla… a rather talented daughter to various academic and physical aspect, most especially fine arts. When Kayla reached five, Lincoln was then born… but his hair is white, a trait inherited from his maternal side (Grandfather is a white-haired boss). Although both are somewhat talented as they grew, Kayla got more of the attention since her work sold more to various clients. Lincoln's work only appealed with the comic industry… not much profit gained. Jamie favored Kayla but treated Lincoln as if disposable. Only Kayla and Agatha treated him right. Kayla, in anger to her father's mistreatment of her brother, shifted career paths and went for sports. She still excelled and was going to play for a Middle School Tournament of Basketball, but the bus that was suppose to bring her home crashed and was declared dead, despite the lack of body.

Jamie grew worse and became a raging alcoholic. It grew to a point that he abused his wife and hurt Lincoln physically and verbally. Agatha took Lincoln and left Jamie and settled to somewhere simple and far. But, after a few months of peace… Jamie found them and attempted to rape Agatha while Lincoln was out buying some food. When Lincoln found this, he tried to free his mother but was swatted away by Jamie. Lincoln then smashed a milk bottle on Jamie's head and from the fragmented remains, stabbed him repeatedly until Jamie no longer moves. It was Lincoln's first kill.

On that moment, his worldview changed. Agatha ordered her son to flee and find a train station for transport. Lincoln obeyed but returned afterwards after waiting for his mother long enough. When he came back to the house, it was surrounded by police cars. That is when he learned that Agatha committed suicide, two tragedies Lincoln had faced… losing his sister and his mother. Months later, he was adopted by a customer… who turns out to be an international terrorist that escaped the World Police for so long. Ethan Glow, saw potential in the boy as a spy and assassin… trained him, tainted him, and became the perfect weapon. Three years in the art of seduction and deception to target government officials, dressing Lincoln in variety such as boy and girl clothing. Until, Ethan abandoned his safehouse and Lincoln along with.

The boy found a new parent to care for him. Help him forgive himself of his sins and let go of his terrible past. But Lincoln knew how unfair the world can be. So before he was reassigned to a new set of parents, the old man (Albert Cunningham) that rescued him retrained him on martial arts and weaponry such as marksmanship and swordsmanship/dagger proficiency. The old man's daughter and son-in-law (Rita and Lynn) were the perfect family for him… and this time, Lincoln was even more determined to protect them from the world. To ensure that the fruit won't fall before the ripe time.

OMAKE 2 - Possibly a preview [Lori and Leni: Glory and Hazy]

Lynn, I'm worried about Lincoln. It's been 5 years since I was able to take him out of that GREEN room. And yet, "his" influence on him is still there. He still hasn't grown socially. He still have that empty outlook on his eyes.

Rita, don't worry. We've done everything to raise the boy. To change his outlook and slowly overshadow the influence of that "evil man". Lincoln will grow to know love and will have many friends to finally help him learn to smile. Give him time… He won't bloom into another "him" since we're here to guide him.

Alright you all… Mom and Dad put me in charge. Meaning no music! No mud pies! And no phone calls!

Please brother dearest. Help us defeat the tyrannical rule of the "Queen of No"!

I'd do anything to have Leni learn how to drive. Bruh, she's hogging all the Vanzilla privileges! Can't have one day to get free ride.

Lincoln, I know as eldest I have to be strict and in charge to keep the family's peace. I know I haven't been too benevolent in my way of taking charge… But please, do me a favor and help me. I promise to repay you with everything in a month. Comic book store rides, video games, everything… please, just help me!

I will do anything to keep what I have now… if that means I have to encounter… or possibly fight everyone from the GREEN room… I'll do it. In the end of it all, I'll always come out on top.

Well, well… if it isn't the False Genius of the GREEN room. Hello, Lincoln Sylvester Lichtenstein.

James Isaac Wittgenstein… never call me that. Since he's no longer alive, I have a new family now. I am Lincoln Albert Loud now.

Then I guess you can call me Jimmy Neutron now since I was assigned to the Neutron family. It's been five years, False Genius.

AN: That is the 3rd chapter of this story series. This chapter was to replicate "Making the Case" but since Lincoln didn't join the contest, he never received the "Most Changed Brother" trophy [aka. A pity trophy]. So instead, he is going to join a quiz bee in the near future chapter. Now, hold the chariot horses. To confirm to your suspicions… Lincoln in this story is indeed adopted. It wasn't planned to have him that way, but I need to create some kind of backstory to justify why Lincoln became what he is, the Quiet One. Afterall, no parent who loved their children would be forced to be educated in the GREEN room [This world's equivalent of the 'White Room' from Classroom of the Elite]. That would be torture and wrong… and yet here we are. So, this is how it will go lore-wise.

Beware of certain bleeps or censorship as Lincoln might say words that are offensive to certain demographic. Just as that once Lincoln said the N-Word without Clyde hearing it. I'll try to make sure it doesn't reach VanossGaming level of offensive.

I'd like to invite MKM2K/Hades Disciple for a joint partnership for this one. I hope he'll agree to help me on this. This will be posted in FanFiction [I'm not permanently back], Wattpad [just in case], and Deviantart.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this new project that I've done. Thank you for reading. Any questions will be answered in PM if available. Please leave a like, follow, review. And as always: God Bless, Stay Safe and Peace be with you/Shalom Aleichem!
