We see lincoln and lynn running through the forest at near instantaneous speed on trying to get to the next village.

Lincoln: You've gotten faster but still I'm going to win this one!

Lynn: hehehe, don't count on it little brother! I'm only using 0.3 percent of my speed!

Soon, lynn kicks it into highgear, swiftly moving ahead of lincoln.

Lincoln: Oh not on my watch junior!

Lincoln kicks it into highgear as he swiftly runs after lynn. The race lasted for about a few seconds given their near instantaneous speed as the two siblings made it to the next village with lynn winning the race.

Lynn: Oh yeah!!

Lincoln: Damn it! I admit that was like old times when we used to race up the long palace stairs.

Lynn: yep! Such wonderful times.

The two siblings walk through the village, the place was huge and the population was numerous.

Lincoln: After all that 11 year training, I'm glad to see you again lynn.

Lynn: Same here linc, you've gotten stronger than ever since we parted ways.

Lincoln: Thanks, I can say the same thing about you lynn. Makes me want to challenge you to see your power.

Lynn smirked.

Lynn: Anytime, anywhere linc.

Before lincoln could say anything, a growling sound was heard but it wasn't an animal or anything. It was lincoln and lynn's stomachs.

Lincoln: guess I'm kinda hungry.

Lynn: me too, let's find a restaurant.

The two siblings walked through the village, passing the crowd as they found a big restaurant called the sacred wing palace. Lincoln and Lynn went inside, seeing the fancy visage of this place.

Lincoln: wow... quite fancy.

Lynn: let's see what this place has to eat.

The two siblings enter through the palace as all eyes were on both lincoln and lynn while they approach the owner of the restaurant.

Owner: Oh hello, welcome to the sacred wing palace. How may I help you?

Lincoln: yes, I would have some... (looks at the menu) sacred egg ramen.

Lynn: I'll have the sacred style reaper ribs with the special grave hot shot.

Everyone in the restaurant, including the owner gasped in shock and horror.

Owner: are you sure...? No one has survived the first bite of that and it's the most spicy and deadliest item on our menu. And only fearless and bravest warriors with iron stomachs could take the sheer-

Lynn: (grins) then perhaps you haven't met me... Bring. Me. The. Reaper. Ribs.

Owner: Very w-well... Waiters! Prepare the reaper ribs!

The waiters nodded in agreement as they went to the kitchen while one of the waiters showed lincoln and lynn to their table.

Lincoln: already taking on the biggest order on the menu, huh lynn?

Lynn: of course linc, I like spicy things. I wonder how these reaper ribs will taste?

Soon, Lincoln and Lynn's orders were brought to them. Lincoln had his sacred egg ramen while lynn looks down at her reaper ribs. The ribs were huge with boiling ret hot pepper sauce with smoke shrouding it in the form of a skull which was laughing evilly before the smoke clears.

Owner: enjoy your meals.

The owner left as everyone in the restaurant was looking at lynn as she grabs the large reaper ribs in her hands while lincoln was enjoying his own meal. Lynn looks at the reaper ribs with narrowed eyes as she took a bite out of them, much to everyone's shock. Lynn was chomping on the ribs for a moment until she swallowed it, the tiger loud warrior's eyes and skin turn red as she let out a massive roar with a lot of fire coming out of her mouth.

Lynn: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn then stopped with a straight face and then a smirk.

Lynn: whoa! Now that's more like it! (Begins to chomp on more reaper ribs)

Everyone gasped at this, even the waiters, chefs and the owner himself. Lincoln, however, wasn't surprised by this as he knew lynn's history of various spicy foods and she loves them absolutely, very much. Soon, lynn and lincoln were done with their meals as lynn let out a loud, flaming belch while patting her stomach.

Lynn: (sighs; smiles) ahhh... my compliments to the chef!

Lincoln pulls out a huge bag full of cash and hands a stack to the owner.

Lincoln: I believe this will cover it?

Owner: Yes, thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Lincoln and Lynn left the sacred wing palace as they walk through the village.

Lincoln: That was a great meal.

Lynn: Yeah, I definitely enjoyed those reaper ribs. I'll be back for more next time.

Lincoln chuckles. Then the two noticed a nearby crowd up ahead, cheering for some reason.

Lincoln: Wonder what's going on there?

Lynn: Only one way to find out.

Lincoln and Lynn walk up to the roaring crowd, letting out their aura as the crowd suddenly calmed down and looked at lincoln and lynn with surprised looks while the two loud warriors walk past them all. Some people in the crowd were whispering about them.

Man: hey... I recognize those two... they're one of the children of the loud palace. Man... look how they've grown...

Man 2: But wasn't the palace burned down and the clan perished?

Woman: Well not all of them, only two children of the loud palace survived the carnage and these two warriors you all see were the children.

Woman 2: Impossible...

Lincoln and Lynn walk up to the crowd's attention, a brick wall with a high flyer as it said...

Lincoln: (reading the flyer) The supreme martial arts tournament... show your animal spirit and fighting skills.

Lynn: (reading the flyer) all fighters from around the world are welcome, located east of the iron village. A huge prize money of 9 million goes the winner of the tournament. (Grins) I like the sound of that, lincoln let's go!

Lincoln: Alright, let's do it.

Lincoln and Lynn quickly vanished in swift speed, much to the crowd's surprise. Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a nearby building, two figures in cloaks watched the scene with lincoln and lynn before vanishing in a black blur.
