Training To Become The Strongest
Here's the next chapter, enjoy!
Lincoln was walking down a dirt road in a forest area not belonging to the park, he still had his rabbit beanie on.
Lincoln: I bet you're wondering what that was all about.
Lincoln came to an old house and stepped onto the porch.
Lincoln: And this place. All me to start with...
*Flashback*
It was my birthday when he came by, a week after I learned I would never gain a Quirk.
At the Loud House, an old car pulled up and a burly old man stepped out, it was Albert, Rita Loud's grandfather, otherwise known as Pop-Pop.
Albert "Pop-Pop"
Quirk: Muscle Maintain - This Mutant-Type Quirk allows users to keep any muscle they gain from training without muscle loss occurring over time.
Then a younger Lori, Leni, Luna, and Lynn came running out of the house with joy.
Loud Sisters: Pop-pop!
The swarm of young girls nearly knocked over Albert, but his larger form allowed him to remain standing.
Albert: Ha ha ha ha! How are my grandkids?!
Albert returned the hugs before the sisters backed away from their grandfather. The sister's mother, Rita Loud, carrying an infant Lucy Loud, was the first to come towards Albert.
Rita: Dad!
Rita and her daughters helped the elderly man into the house.
Albert: So where's the birthday boy, Rita?
Rita: Lincoln's been just up in his room for a few days now. He's been really upset about not getting a Quirk like the others. He won't come down... Not even for his favorite cake...
Albert: Well... I'll go up there to help cheer him up...
Albert claimed the stairs, taking a slice of cake with him. He was
Albert: Lincoln? It's me... Pop-pop!
Albert greeted the Quirkless grandson as he opened the door to his room.
Lincoln: Grandpa?
A crying young Lincoln sat at his desk, dried tears on his face. He had a look of hopelessness on his face.
Albert: Ah, there you are. It looks like you've got your mind on something...
Lincoln: I was so hoping for a Quirk, I spend so long learning about every kind of Quirk and how they are used to plan for any kind of Quirk I got... But... Now... I won't have a Quirk to train...
While my family laughed at my dreams to be a hero... Grandpa always thought I had the potential... He'd help me study Quirks whenever we'd visit him... He believed I really could do it... To become the first male hero...
Albert: Nonsense, kiddo... So you were born Quirkless, so this is the way of things... Don't worry, it's perfectly fine. I know it's a big disappointment, but you have lots of other things you can rely on. Like me... And your family...
Lincoln: But I wanted to be a hero so bad... Now it feels like that's just a pipe dream...
Albert sighed before thinking of something, reaching around behind him to pull out a white beanie with a rabbit face and ears. Albert placed the beanie over Lincoln's young head and smiled.
Albert: There are ways to be a hero without a Quirk, you just need to know what to do.
Lincoln: Really?
Albert: Really really. Now come on! It's your big day! Let's go downstairs.
Lincoln smiled and followed Albert down the stairs.
But... Time flew by... And... Life moved on like normal...
*****
A 12-year-old Lincoln stood in a black suit, with him was his whole family all dressed in black, and in front of him, Albert was laying in a coffin. A priest was standing beside him.
Priest: We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of one Albert Harriet. He was a good father and grandfather.
His time in this world came to an end... No quirk from anyone could change that... A funeral was held and then came his will...
After the funeral, a lawyer was sorting the papers labeled "Albert's Will".
Lawyer: And to my dearest grandson, Lincoln Loud, I leave the deed to my old home along with my life's journal.
Lincoln stepped forward and was handed a journal and a deed with a house key.
Lawyer: (places down a contract) Sign here for proof of ownership.
Lincoln looked at the piece of paper and then signed it.
But all wasn't dark and gloomy for me... Pop-Pop left me something that would lead to me becoming what I am...
*****
Lincoln was now at the house, looking back he could see his family waiting by Vanzilla as he did. Putting the key in, unlocking the door, and stepping inside. Lincoln opened the journal and the first page read. "Go To The Basement. Turn to the next page when you see what I have down there." Lincoln seemed confused. After a bit of searching, he found the door to the basement and saw only one thing in the basement. Something covered in a thick tarp, Lincoln pulled the tarp off to reveal a crystal cluster sticking out of the floor. It was purple at the top but slowly changed to red at the bottom.
Lincoln: What the heck is this thing- ...!!
Lincoln remembered to turn the page and it read, "I'm not sure what this is kiddo, but whatever it is, it'll help you go and live your dream. Look into it and you'll see a familiar face." Lincoln looked up then into the crystal to see what he thought was his reflection, but he soon found it was another Lincoln.
This Lincoln was a pre-teen boy, around 5'6" with snow-white hair and fair skin, but he also was really strongly built, even compared to Lynn, he looked stronger. He wore a white hoodie with orange sleeves and hood and had "Beware of Boi" on the front in the bold orange text, blue jeans, black gloves with a metal plate on the back, and white and blue sneakers.

Lincoln: Man... What I wouldn't give to have muscles like those...
Lincoln looked back at the book and continued to read, "This may sound impossible, but what your seeing is another version of you, Lincoln, a "you" in another universe. This one goes by Linc, and like you, he doesn't have any superpowers like others. But keep watching, and you'll see something amazing."
Lincoln kept watching, the other Lincoln was walking around with groceries, when a car suddenly came to life and began ranting on about something. It tried to attack the other Lincoln but in an instant, he turned the car monster into a pile of scrap metal.
Lincoln: How did he-
Lincoln immediately looked back to the book and read. "If you saw what I've seen ever since I found this rock as a little boy, you can see that version of you. He has no mutations like Quirks or superpowers he had a birth. He's, by all means, a normal person, except for the fact that he's trained his body to be so strong that he can one-shot any being. When I found this rock, I watched him beat a giant who's over a quarter of a kilometer tall, and can stomp city-sized craters into the Earth, a monster king who shaved off a continent from the Earth's surface, and lifted it into the stratosphere. that same monster king absorbed this huge chunk of the Earth's core and fired it at him. He blocked it by squirt-gunning some lava at it like a kid in a bathtub."
Lincoln continued to watch as the other Lincoln was shown to one-shot hundreds of monsters with little effort. "His training method was doing 100 push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats (air, jump, basic, etc), and a 10 km run. Then doubling it after 1 week of training and repeating this after every week. I'm sure with this, you can live your dream, and be a hero. All I ask is that you be a hero who smiles saving people with a smile." Lincoln felt tears roll down his face as he continued to read the note.
*Flashback End*
Lincoln pulled out a key and entered the house.
Lincoln: I started training my body to become a hero about a year ago, but I'm only barely fourth down with my training. I'm not even close to finished, unlike that other Lincoln, I still live with my family, only so much I can do. Well, time to get to working out!
Lincoln then dropped down and began doing push-ups faster than would be possible for a normal person.
Lincoln: One hundred! One hundred one! One hundred two! One hundred three! One hundred four...!
The Loud boy continued until he moved on to sit-ups. Rolling over onto his back and moving faster than a normal person.
Lincoln: Three thousand two hundred twenty-five! Three thousand two hundred twenty-six! Three thousand two hundred twenty-seven! Three thousand two hundred twenty-eight! Three thousand two hundred twenty-nine!
The Quirkless hero continued until he moved on to pull-ups, which he did by grabbing a beam and lifting himself over it.
Lincoln: Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty-one! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty-two! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty-three! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty-four! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred fifty-five!
Lastly, the quirkless boy ran outside and began doing laps around the entire building at the speed of sound. After about 3 hours, running for a total of Eight hundred thirty-eight million eight hundred sixty thousand eighty kilometers! Or five hundred twenty-one million two hundred forty-three thousand four hundred eighty-eight miles!
Lincoln: That's Eight hundred thirty-eight million eight hundred sixty thousand eight hundred push-ups, sit-ups, squats. and pull-ups. And an eight hundred thirty-eight million eight hundred sixty thousand eighty kilometers run... I'm only one-fourth of the way done with this.
Suddenly, Lincoln heard his phone ding, he got a text from someone. Quickly going over to his phone he saw a text from Lynn Sr. It read, [Dad: Don't forget that Lynn's Heroine Exam is starting soon, so get there before the bleachers are filled up. Don't want to miss Lynn Jr.'s big day to becoming a heroine! Lincoln, this means you too! You missed Lynn's first try, so get the lead out of your pants and get to the Exam Stadium ASS!!] This was followed by another text saying, [Darn Autocorrect, that was supposed to be ASAP.]
Lincoln: (Lucy Impression) Sigh... (normal voice) I better get going... Else dad will chew me out more than a wad of gum.
*****
In an underground railroad, which strangely had both train paths blocked up with a train that was missing several key parts. Like it was meant for decoration instead of transport. There were no lights either, only benches like it were just half-assed of an already half-assed job. However, there were people down here. Several dozen men were on the train and on the benches. Then about more men, hiding in the darkness of the fake subway.
???: My fellow brothers of this unfair world. We have finished the preparations for our attack on the Heroine Exam. Once all the examinees are inside the testing grounds. We will begin our attack.
The men in the shadows roared out in the agreement, rage filling their voices.
???: For those of you still questioning why we're doing this. Let me ask you. Why should a man, who was tired from a hard day's work, give up his seat to a woman, who had just come back from a relaxing trip!? Why should a boy give up the toys that he got for his birthday to his sister who simply wants him to not have any?! Why does a man get a life sentence in prison when he uses a Quirk he can't control properly when a woman gets no more than a slap on the wrist after she kills a man!? INEQUALITY!!! Woman flaunt their stronger Quirks and become Heroines but where is the justice for men!? Men have to suffer countless hardships because of women, who once preached for Gender Equality, but now commit horrible acts when they obtained power!!
The men cheered then the man put a finger to his lips and the tunnel went quiet.
???: Now... I'm not asking for women to give up being heroines. I don't care if a man stays at home to do the chores while his wife goes out and works for the money they need. I don't mind if a girl wants to play a game with boys. BUT WHAT I WILL NOT STAND FOR IS THE BLATANT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEN AND BOYS FOR SIMPLY LAKING A STRONG QUIRK!!! TOO MANY MEN HAVE BEEN TOSSED OUT OF THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF CORRUPT WOMEN!!! TOO MANY BOYS HAVE TAKEN THEIR LIVES DUE TO BEING TORMENTED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY BY GIRLS!!! WHAT I WANT!!! IS TRUE EQUALITY!!!
A symphony of roars toward the man's words filled the tunnels.
???: We will show them just how capable we are! We are more than just a threat, we are a force to be reckoned with! We have to make the world a better place, it's been 40 years since this all began and we will have True Equality and Justice for the men and boys wronged by corrupt women!!!
The men roared once more, before being silenced by a loud horn coming from outside the tunnel.
???: The exam is beginning, and the camera will only pan from the gate entrance of the exam site, all the viewers' and workers' eyes will be on the exam takers, and will be able to move freely in and around the site until the exam starts. Into your positions and remember the plan, we are here, not to kill, but to make a stand, and a point.
The men then ran out of the tunnel and into a city with no one inside, walled off by twenty-kilometer-high walls. And there was a gate where several girls were filing out of a line of buses.
A few miles away from the gate were several bleachers with stands. Lynn Sr. was looking around impatiently for Lincoln, not seeing him anywhere.
Announcer: (over the intercom) Welcome one and all to Luxon's US School For Heroines, HEROINE EXAM!!!
Cheers erupted from the bleachers as the gate opened and the men, hiding in the dummy buildings watched as the examinees entered. Meanwhile, Lincoln was at a video game store, looking at a new video game called, Noise Operation 2: Adventures.
Store Clerk: You know. But I thought there was...
Lincoln: Woah, they added new powers?!
Store Clerk: Something else you had to do? Something about your family... And the Heroine Exam?
Lincoln: (looks at the store clerk) Uhh............. (running down the street at what would be a normal speed) Crap crap crap crap crap!!!
To Be Continued...
That's all for this chapter, but now for some questions;
1. Should I make a chapter with a brief summary of the current place in the timeline of BNHA this story takes place in, including certain characters from BNHA?
2. I have a few ideas for different Quirks that might fit certain Louds better, should I post those too?
That's all, please answer, remember, I'm asking the questions because I can't make up my mind. Bye for now.
