Ace Savvy: The Case of the Mysterious Gambler

**I was inspired by Ace Savvy and the Full House Gang: Checkmate by Alexpv22.**

**The earth number was suggested by a user named discofurby. I had this earth cameo in my story, Worlds Loudest. So I thought I could expand on it.**

*[We open the full moon, shining between a few isolated clouds in the night sky. A Caption comes up and it says “Earth-13”.Tilt down to a building called “Royal Woods National City Bank”. We see a black van pull up by the bank. From the back of the van, two thugs in ski masks come out, carrying guns, and they kick down the door. ]*

**Thug # 1:** Alright! Nobody move! This is a bank robbery! *[points his gun]*

**Thug # 2:***[points his gun]*Everyone put your hands up!

*[The customers and staff do so, and the thugs stand aside so that their boss can come in. We see a large pudgy bald man step inside the bank, carrying a diamond cane. He dons a white suit, a black vest inside it, black dress shoes, cufflinks, and a gold ring. He also has a gold tooth and a scar on his eye.]*

**Female Bank Teller:** It’s you. The famed criminal, Tony Maroney.

**Tony Maroney:** That’s right, doll, it’s me. The greatest crime lord in Royal Woods! Now, I‘ve come to make a...withdrawal.

**Thug # 1:***[Holds a bag open]* You heard him, people! Put the money in the bag!

**Thug # 2:***[Holds a bag open]*Put it in!

*[The other employees run to the back and they arrive at the Bank Vault. They open the vault and they grab all the money they can. Employees put the money in the criminal’s bags. ]*

**Maroney:** That's it. *[laughs]*

*[We go outside to the roof, and two shadowy figures land on it. They look through the window, and they see the criminals stealing the money. ]*

**???:** Ready, partner?

**???:** Oh, I was born ready. Well, actually, I was born a month early, so I wasn't ready for much of anything.

**???:** I know.

*[Back inside, the employees finish putting the money in the bags. Tony takes out a dollar.]*

**Maroney:** *[smells the money]* Ah, the sweet smell of a hundred-dollar bill. Alright, boys. Let’s take our business elsewhere.

*[Glass shatters and the two figures land on the floor. They are revealed to be Lincoln Loud as Ace Savvy and Clyde McBride as One-Eyed Jack.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Maroney, didn’t your mother tell you not to steal?

**One-Eyed Jack:** Yeah, there are other ways of making money and that’s getting a real job.

**Maroney:** Ah, Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack, what an unexpected surprise. And that’s what I would say if I didn’t bring men. *[Snaps his fingers]*

*[The thugs cock their guns, and they aim them at the two superheroes.]*

**Maroney:** Fire.

*[They start firing at them but Ace Savvy uses his bracelets to block the bullets, they ricochet, and they hit the wall and ceiling. Ace and Jack charge at the group. While Ace was blocking the bullets, Jack jumps over them and Ace slides under their legs. While in the air, Jack lands and throws some playing cards and they get lodged in the guns.]*

*[Jack pulls out a small remote device and presses a button. The cards start blinking red and beeping and they explode their guns. This blow injures their hands and then Ace Savvy does a jump spin back kick and hits the first thug; this knocks him forward. The second thug turns around and tries hitting Jack with crosses and hooks, but Jack dodges the attacks and kicks him in the stomach, sending him forward. The duo lunged at them; they hit them with a flying side kick; the thugs became dazed and they fell to the floor. Maroney's eyes widen and then he turns his attention to the young heroes.]*

**Maroney:** Alright, my turn! *[brandishes his cane.]*

*[Maroney charges at the heroes and swings his cane, but Ace and Jack evade the attack, and then Ace starts throwing multiple cards but the crime boss deflects them with his cane but one while flying, rips his suit.]*

**Maroney:** *[gasps]* My gentleman’s suit! *[growls]*

*[Tony lunges at Ace Savvy for a series of swings and kicks; none hits their mark, but a flip kick from Ace Savvy makes its mark. Ace Savvy pulls out a grappling gun and fires at Maroney; the claw latches onto his shoulder and propels himself over to Tony, and hits in the face with a flying side-kick. Maroney becomes dazed, and Jack comes in and karate chops him in the back of his knee; this brings Tony on one knee, and then Ace hits Maroney in the face with a haymaker.]*

*[Maroney stumbles backward, and then he becomes enraged. Maroney throws many swings, but the two heroes dodge them and they simultaneously punch Tony in the face. The two heroes lunge at Maroney, and they unleash a flurry of punches on him; Ace starts punching him in the stomach and Jack starts punching his back. Maroney ignores the pain and takes a swing at Ace, but he evades and goes to Tony’s side while Jack goes to the front. The two of them continue pummeling him. Tony does horizontal swing again, but Ace somersaults, and Jack jumps out of the way; they continue their assault while Tony raises his cane to have the end of it to stab Ace in the head, but Ace evades and Jack comes to the front. They continue their punching combo and end it with Jack hitting Tony in the face with a right hook, Ace elbowing him in the face, and them both doing a jump spin back kick. This attack sends the crime boss flying and he lands on the floor; Ace Savvy stands on top of Tony.]*

**Ace Savvy:** It’s over Maroney, you’re beaten.

**Maroney:** Not yet, kid.*[takes out his radio]* This is Big T, I need some backup!

*[Trucks pull up outside and dozens of henchmen barge in and surround them.]*

**Maroney**: You’re outnumbered, Ace! You might as well give up now!

**Ace Savvy:** That’s what you think, Maroney! It's time to call in... *[holds up more cards]* ...the whole deck!

*[Ace drops a handful of cards on the ground with his sisters. Just then, a horn blares and the van comes in with Lori's persona at the wheel.]*

**High Card:** Alright, girls, *[lifts up her mask]* it's butt-kicking time!

*[The van opens up revealing the rest of the girls in their Ace Savvy personae.]*

**Thug # 3:** Oh no, boss!

**Thug # 4:** It’s the Full Deck!

**Ace Savvy:** On its own, maybe. When it’s just the two of us, it’s just Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack.

**One-Eyed Jack:** When it’s just those girls, it’s the Full Deck.

**Ace Savvy:***[Gets off Tony]* But when it’s all of us united, we’re known as…

*[They get together and they strike action poses]*

**The Team:** The Full House Gang!

**Maroney:***[Gets up and dust himself off]* Alright, enough games! Get ‘em, boys!

**Ace Savvy:** Fall in!

*[The Gang charges at the henchmen and they begin a battle. High Card punches two thugs and side-kicks one thug and roundhouse kicks another thug. Several thugs brandish knives but High Card reaches behind her back and draws out bolas with two large dice on both ends. With a flick of her wrist, she twirled her weapon and clocks many of the thugs; this attack leaves large card symbols imprinted upon their faces. One thug goes in to stab High Card but she reacts quickly and wraps her bolas around the guy’s wrist, locks his arms behind, and throws him to the ground. Another thug comes at High Card but she sweep-kicks him and he falls to the floor; she then hits him in the head with a low side kick.]*

**High Card:** Nailed it!

*[Several thugs surround The Eleven of Hearts, who has an unimpressed look on her face.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** I don’t like your masks. They don’t go with those jeans.

**Thug:** What?! *[growls]* Now you’re gonna get it!

*[The thugs attack the girl, but she punches and kicks five thugs. She twirls her sash and whips several thugs. One Thug aims his pistol at the female hero but she lassos his gun and pulls it out of his hands. The Eleven of Hearts throws it on the floor and steps on it, crushes it to pieces.]*

**Thug:** Hey! My Granddad gave me that gun!

*[Eleven of Hearts lassos his leg and pulls him off his feet, and then she spins him around in circles and throws him across the room.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** This job really puts some action into my fashion!

*[We see the Night Club taking on some thugs. She hits ten thugs with her guitar and then more thugs come running at her.]*

**Night Club:** Alright, dudes! Time to rock you like a hurricane!

*[Night Club tunes her guitar and unleashes an ear-piercing sound wave that knocks the thugs across the room.]*

**Night Club:** Cowabunga!

*[Some thugs make mad dashes to the bank vault, but what stands in their way is the funny member of the Full House Gang, The Joker.]*

**Thug:** Get outta my way, kid! I wanna get the dough!

**Joker:** You want dough? *[pulls out 10 donuts]* I’ll give you dough! *[throws one donut at a time]* Honey Glazed! Chocolate! Chocolate with sprinkles! Lemon Custard!

*[The thugs get hit by each of the flavors of the donuts, and they fall to the floor.]*

**Joker:** Dough-not mess with me! *[laughs]*

*[One of the thugs brandishes his gun and shoots the Joker but the clown dodges the shots and she draws out a rubber chicken. She aims it at the criminal and cocks it like a gun.]*

**Joker:** Time to take this joke to the Egg-streme!

*[Joker fires a barrage of eggs at the criminal, and he falls to the ground.]*

**Joker:** Looks like I'm on an egg roll! *[Laughs]*

*[We cut to the Strong Suit cracking her neck and knuckles; she then strikes a fighting pose.]*

**Strong Suit:** Time for a Knuckle Sandwich!

*[Strong Suit charges at several thugs and hits three with a few crosses and hooks. She roundhouse kicks one thug and then uppercuts another thug.]*

**Thug:** You’re pretty strong there, girly. But let’s see take on the Brute!

*[Walking in is a large muscle-bound thug with tattoos and a bald head.]*

**Strong Suit:** Puh-lease, I bench-pressed one of my siblings and she’s a few inches taller than me!

*[The Brute throws a couple of straight punches, crosses, and hooks, but the jock swiftly dodges all of them. The Brute throws one more punch, but the Strong Suit grabs his wrist and flips him over her shoulders and puts him in an armbar. Strong Suit breaks his arm in the process, causing him to shriek in pain.]*

**Strong Suit:** I don’t break siblings’ bones, but I do break criminals’ bones!

*[We then see the Eight of Spades standing and wielding her shovel. The thugs aim their guns at the stoic kid, but she pulls out two smoke bombs and smashes them to the ground, creating a large cloud of smoke. The smoke blinds the thugs, and they start mindlessly shooting their guns. Once the smoke clears, they find that the dark hero has disappeared.]*

**Thug:** Where’d she go?

**Eight of Spades:***[offscreen]* Right here.

**The Thugs:** AAH! *[they drop their guns]*

*[The thugs turn around and they’re immediately hit in the faces with the Eight’s shovel. They fall unconscious.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Theatricality and deception, powerful agents to the uninitiated.

*[We cut to the bank vault where two thugs are putting money in their bags.]*

**Royal Flush:***[offscreen]* Hey, punks! *[the camera pans on the young hero. She twirls her monkey wrench and poses like she’s a sword fighter.]* Time for me to fix your faces.

**The first thug:** You take care of the little brat and I’ll get the money.

**The second thug:** Got it!*[pulls out a pipe]*

*[The two fighters clash with each other. The thug goes on the offensive as the Flush counters his every move. Royal Flush gets a couple of swings and does a spin hook kick. The Thug then tries stabbing forward as the Royal Flush blocks his pipe from multiple angles before swinging forward, which Royal Flush does a jump spin back kick that sends crashing through the front desk. She throws the wrench at the thug who’s taking the money and he gets knocked out.]*

**Royal Flush:** Sorry to throw a wrench into things!

*[ We cut to the Queen of Diamonds, running at some thugs and the thugs themselves are carrying baseball bats, crowbars, and pipes.]*

**Queen of Diamond:***[leaps in the air]* Diamond Shine Attack! *[releases her diamonds' radiance on the thugs' eyes, blinding them.]*

*[The Queen lands, karate-screams and does a flying side-kick on one of the thugs, head-butts another, and sweeps kicks one off his feet. The Queen tosses her diamond tiara and knocks out a thug who was coming in with a knife. Her crown comes back like a boomerang. Several thugs brandish guns and take aim at the Queen. The young hero whips out 10 shiny ninja stars.]*

**Queen of Diamond:** Diamond Shurikens! *[throws them at the thugs and they slice their guns in half.]* No one overthrows the Queen!

*[We cut to the Card Counter facing off with seven thugs.]*

**Card Counter:** Alright, you merciless marauders! Show me what you have to offer.

*[The thugs start shooting at her but the genius moves out of the way. The Card Counter pulls out a gun-looking device and shoots at thugs’ guns. They try to fire again, but their guns don’t work.]*

**Thug:** What the-?! Why isn’t this working?!

*[Card Counter throws an abacus and it hits three thugs. The abacus comes back to her.]*

**Card Counter:** Yes! My assault was successful, thanks to my Disruptor.

*[More thugs come at her with bats but Card Counter dodges their attacks and throws some numbers at the thugs. Number 1s lands on two thugs. Card Counter punches and kicks a few thugs. Card Counter pulls out a calculator and puts in 1 plus 1, she presses and it equals 2. The numbers on the other thugs’ chests activate a magnetic field and they wield together. The thugs try to move away from each other but they can’t get themselves unstuck.]*

*[Card Counter then throws three 5s at three thugs. The young genius calculates 5 times 5 times 5, she enters 125 and the thugs get shocked by the numbers.]*

**Card Counter:** My Weaponized Numbers are also successful.

*[The camera pans over to Lily in her Superhero Persona, the Deuce. A bunch of thugs surrounds her.]*

**Thug:** So, whadda ya got, shorty?

*[The Deuce becomes determined and holds up some stinky diapers.]*

**Thug:** Uh, oh.

*[The Deuce tosses her diapers that act as stink bombs and nails the thugs.]*

**Deuce:***[determined]*Poo poo!

*[Maroney grabs the money bags and runs to the exit.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Maroney’s getting away!

**Joker:** Don’t worry, I got an idea! *[pulls out a banana, peels off the skin, and eats skinless fruit.]* You might find this trap a-peeling! *[Laughs]* Get it?

*[Everyone groans, and then Joker pulls out a slingshot and slingshot and fires the banana peel ahead of Tony. Tony slips and falls then the Full House Gang surrounds him; they beat him up in a cloud of dust and when the dust clears, Ace puts him in Ace-handcuffs.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Looks like you're bankrupt!

**Maroney:** Aw, nuts.

*[Everyone in the bank cheers for their victory against the thugs. The Gang beams with pride.]*

**Female Bank Teller:** Thank you, Ace Savvy. You and your gang saved us!

**Ace Savvy:** All in a day’s work, ma’am. Now if you'll excuse me, we’re needed elsewhere.

*[The gang gets into Vanzilla and they drive off. They then arrive at Gus' Games and Grub and when they go inside, they are greeted by a collective gasp from the employees]*

**Male Employee #1:** It’s the Full House Gang!

**Male Employee # 2:** Our best customers!

**Waitress:** Party of 12? Right, this way.

*[They go to their table and Ace Savvy picks up a menu.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, we’ll have two large pepperoni and meatball pizzas.

**Waitress:** Okay, *[writes it down]* two pepperoni and meatball pizzas…

**The Boss:** Ah, forget that! Give them the Crime Fighters Special!

**Ace Savvy:** Crime Fighters Special?

**One Eyed-Jack:** Ooh, what’s that?

**Waitress:** I’ll show you.*[dashes to the kitchen and comes back with a cart of food]* This special consists of five pizzas, garlic knots, breadsticks, mozzarella sticks, hot wings, and for dessert, Triple Gus-berry Sunrises. And it’s all on the house. In fact, everything’s on the house!

**Strong Suit:** Ah, sweet!

**Royal Flush:** We’ll take it!

*[The gang starts eating their food. They got soft bites from the breadsticks and the garlic knots and they got cheesy and stretchy bites from the pizza and mozzarella sticks.]*

**Ace Savvy:** *[to the audience]* Now you may know me as Ace Savvy but my real name is Lincoln Loud. *[pauses and darts his eyes]* Good thing we’re only ones here and the employees are in the back. Anyway, at every place, we get everything for free. Well, except for Flip’s, he says “Crime Fighters get double the price”. Cheapskate, am I right? Anyway, because of our many heroic acts, we were able to go from masked vigilantes to Royal Woods’ best heroes. And we earned all these special perks. *[Eats another slice of pizza]*

*[The Gang continues eating their food.]*

\*\*\*

*[ We cut to the gang driving through the city]*

**Lori:** Well guys, tonight was fun but a Sunday night is a school night.

**Lincoln:** Yeah, we can’t stay out too late.

*[Cut to a rock cliff called 1216 Franklin Mountain Avenue and on top of the cliff is a mansion resembling the iconic Loud House. The gang makes a U-turn and they ride down a hill and they arrive at the bottom of the cliff; they enter through a secret tunnel and they arrive in a cave called Ace Cave. The cave features large computer displays and flashing blue lights the cave has assorted, the cave has an elevator. The cave also had waterfalls by the Vanzilla exit/entrance. There is also a Large Quarter and a mechanical pterodactyl. The Gang gets out of Vanzilla and they look at the cave..]*

**Lincoln:***[hears the sound of waterfalls]* Ahh... the sound of running water. It’s music to my ears.

**Kirby:** Good evening, Louds.

**Lincoln:** Hey, Kirby. How’s our favorite butler?

**Kirby:** Pretty good, sirs and ma’ams.

**Lincoln:** Kirby, we told you that you don’t have to call us that, you can call us by our names.

**Kirby:** Oh, right, sorry. Force of habit.

**Lincoln**: It’s okay, we’re gonna go get changed.

*[The parents, Rita and Lynn Sr. step out of the elevator. The parents meet up with their kids, who are in their normal clothes. ]*

**Lynn Sr. :** Hey, kids.

**Rita:** How was your night?

**Lincoln:** Another day, another bank robbery.

**Lynn:** But we were able to show them what we’re made of.

**Lori:** And don’t worry about dinner, Dad. We went to Gus’.

**Lana:** And we didn’t have to pay, we got everything free.

**Lola:** Even if we did, it still wouldn't be a problem, because of the amount of money we have.

**Rita:** That’s great, kids!

**Lynn Sr. :** Say, do kids wanna watch the Dream Boat?

**Lincoln:** Sure, it’ll be a great relax after crime-fighting.

*[The family goes to the elevator and Lincoln presses the up button. They go up and they arrive in the living room. The living room contains some luxurious furniture, a fireplace, a large flat-screen TV, potted plants, lamps, and a white grand piano. It also has two rooms.]*

**Lincoln:***[to the audience]* Yep, that’s right! We’re rich! Filthy Stinkin’ Rich! *[walks through the living room]*  You see, my dad inherited his dad’s fortune, kinda like how he inherited vanzilla. Anyway, he used some of that fortune to open many Lynn’s Tables across the country and our Dad was able to make billions of dollars. And because of that, we’re all living the high life.

*[Lincoln goes through the dining room that looks similar to the original dining room, except it has a three-branch candle holder and leather dining room chairs. The boy goes into the kitchen and it looks exactly like the original Loud kitchen.]*

**Lincoln:** You wonder why our kitchen looks like a normal suburban kitchen. Well, our mom wanted to at least have one place to look normal, because she used to live in the suburbs.

*[Lincoln goes to the cabinet and gets a bag of microwavable popcorn. He puts it in the microwave and after 20 minutes, he takes it out and puts it in a bowl. Lincoln goes back to the living room and sits on the couch.]*

**Rita:** Hey Harold and Howard! Do you wanna watch the Dream Boat with us?

*[Clyde’s dads came out of the second bedroom.]*

**Harold:** Sure, we’d love to.

**Howard:** I hope Janet goes for Blake!

**Lincoln:** You’re probably wondering why Clyde’s dads are staying here. Well, last month, a crime gang burned down their house and they’re gonna be staying here until their house gets fixed. *[picks up the remote]*  Hey, guys! It’s about to start!

*[All members gather up on the couch and they watch the Dream Boat. Later, the Loud siblings go upstairs and they go get ready for bed. They walk past the second floor, which is a four-room hallway. Clyde goes to the guest bedroom and the rest go up to the main hallway that has all their rooms. The siblings go to their respective rooms. After Lincoln puts on his pajamas and turns back to the audience.]*

**Lincoln:** Even though I have all these nice things, my life is not completely perfect.

*[Lincoln sadly glances at a photo of him, his Pop-Pop, and his original grandmother. He picks it up and looks at it. ]*

**Lincoln:** My grandmother, she..she died when I was 10. I know because...I was there, I witnessed it and I..felt I should have done something but Pop-Pop told me it was dangerous.*[sighs deeply]*

*[One tear rolls down his cheeks and it lands on the picture. Lincoln wipes his face and puts the picture back on his dresser.]*

**Lincoln:** I don't know who the killer is, or if I’ll find him, but I promised to avenge her and not let anyone feel the same pain I had that night. And that’s why I became Ace Savvy, to protect the innocent *[gets into bed and tucks himself in]* and that’s what I’ll always do.*[falls asleep]*

*\*\*\**

*[We cut to Royal Woods Elementary the next day. Lincoln is seen walking through the hall and then Artie approaches him.]*

**Artie:** Hey, Lincoln, next week is dad’s birthday, so I was wondering if...uh, you know, with you being the richest person, I wonder if…

**Lincoln:** Borrow some money? Sure, *[pulls his wallet and takes out a 20 dollar bill]* I’m always happy to lend someone money *[gives it to Artie]*

**Artie:** Thanks, man! *[runs off]*

**Lincoln:** No problem!

*[We cut to the cafeteria and Lincoln is standing in line. After he gets his food, he goes over to the dessert and the lunch lady scowls at him.]*

**Lunch Lady:** Let me guess, you want all of the desserts and not leave any for everyone else.

**Lincoln:** What?! No! I’m just gonna have one cupcake.*[gives her a dollar and he gets his cupcake]* I’m not those kinds of rich who wants everything.*[walks away]*

*[Lincoln goes to one of the tables, and he meets up with his friends.]*

**Lincoln:** Hey, you guys!

**Lincoln’s friend:** Hey, Lincoln!

**Rusty:** How’s it going?

**Lincoln:** Good, I’m still living the high life.

**Liam:** I see, because of that wad of cash stickin’ out of pocket there.

*[Lincoln looks and sees the cash sticking and stuff it back in.}*

**Stella:** So Clyde, is your house still being rebuilt?

**Clyde:** Yeah, but I’ve been having a good time at Lincoln’s place. He's a really good guest.

**Lincoln:** And you’re a good guest.

**Clyde:** Thank you.

**Zach:** So, what do you want to do this weekend?

**Lincoln:** Well, my family is getting a yacht, and you could ask them.

**Liam:** I reckon we could.

**Zach:** Yeah, it sounds like fun!

**Rusty:** A party on a yacht!

**Chandler:** Fun? Pfft, *[giggles]* that’s a laugh. A party on a plane is more fun than on a yacht.

**Stella:** But Chandler, you don’t have a plane.

**Chandler:** Yeah, I do. Uh, It just hasn’t arrived yet.

**Zach:** Admit it, Chandler, you’re just jealous that your dad’s sewage plant doesn’t make as much money as Lincoln’s dad’s restaurant.

**Chandler:** I’m not jealous, I just think planes are more fun than yachts. Besides, the plant is making money, how do you think I was able to afford those Go-Karts?

**Rusty:** Was your family able to make 200 billion dollars?

**Chandler:***[sighs]* No.

**Stella:** Then you’re nowhere close to making as much money as his dad’s restaurant.

**Liam:** Nuh-uh, no sirree.

**Chandler:** Well, you know what? Who cares about you rich people! You guys just exist to make us look like losers! *[gets up]* Oh, by the way, I tried your dad’s lasagna, and he uses way too much sauce and way too much cheese!

**Lincoln:** Hey! I’ll have you know my dad uses the right amount of cheese and sauce.

**Chandler:** Whatever, Larry*.[walks away]*

**Lincoln:** It’s Lincoln!

**Clyde:** Don’t listen to him, buddy. He’s just jealous, lots of people tend to get jealous of rich people.

**Stella:** And Chandler is one of those people.

**Lincoln:** Yeah, you’re right. So, Saturday at 3 o'clock is when it starts.

**Rusty:** Are there gonna be ladies?

**Lincoln:** Hmmm, probably. I'll see if Girl Jordan and her friends can come.

**Rusty:** Sweet! And I'll ask my dad if he can hook me with a fancy suit.

**Zach:** Just don't get any poop on it again.

**Rusty:** Ugh, don’t remind me.

\*\*\*

*[We cut to the Loud Mansion and Lisa is on a ladder in the mansion’s library.]*

**Lisa:** Let see the Biography of Benjamin Franklin, the Biography of Sir Isaac Newton, ah, The Biography of Albert Einstein.

**Lucy:** Hey, Lisa, can you grab me The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe?

**Lisa:** Sure thing, spooky sis.

*[Lisa moves the ladder to the sides and reaches for The Raven. Lincoln comes in and goes to the comic section.]*

**Lincoln:** Good thing, we have comics in this library. The good thing about us having a library is that we can keep the books.

**Lana:***[offscreen]* That’s not the only good thing! *[the camera pans on her]* You can make as much noise as you want! *[belches and does some armpit farts]* A librarian would never let me do that!

**Lincoln:** I guess that’s another one of the perks of having an at-home library.

**Lisa:** But one of the downsides is…*[climbs down from the ladder]* that the books are put higher.*[gives the book to Lucy]*

**Lucy:** Thanks.

*[We cut to the house’s indoor basketball court where Lynn is shooting some baskets and Kirby is watching.]*

**Lynn:** Hey, Kirb, check this out!

*[Lynn dribbles the ball, jumps in the air, and hits the ball with a Double Axe Hand. She scores and lands back down.]*

**Lynn:** Eh? I call that the Meteor Smash.

**Kirby:** Impressive, Lynn. You’re really gonna win the game next week.

**Lynn:** You bet! Thanks to these superpowers, I could leap tall hoops in a single bound and because of that, my team has been winning many games this season.

**Kirby:** And I assume you’re gonna use your move on the day of the game, huh?

**Lynn:** You got that right! Now, let’s hit the gym. I wanna try out our new treadmill.*[runs off]*

**Kirby:** Alright, ma’am, sir. I mean, Lynn. *[follows Lynn]*

*[Cut to the living room, Lori is reading a magazine, Leni is painting her fingernails, Lola is brushing her, Luan is joggling, and Lily is stacking some blocks.]*

**Lori:***[phone rings and she picks it up]* Hi, Boo-Boo Bear! *[beat]* Good, I’m still living the high life. How was your day? *[beat]* Carl did what?

**Lynn Sr. :***[comes in with a newspaper]* Oh, my stars! A whole IT company is bankrupt?! That’s just shocking!

**Lincoln:***[comes downstairs]* Hey, Dad, what’s up?

**Lynn Sr. :** Son, you are not gonna believe this! An IT company went bankrupt.

**Lincoln:** Whoa! How did that happen?!

**Lynn Sr. :** I don’t know, but that’s not the only business that’s gone down the drain. *[shows him the news article]* Look, Car Lot has crashed, Bakery has baked its cake, Movie store has been scrapped, just so many businesses gone!

**Lincoln:** Oh, my gosh! Guys! Come quick!

*[Luna, Lana, Lisa, and Lucy rush downstairs.]*

**Lori:** Bobby, I’m gonna have to call you back. *[hang ups]*

*[The other gather up]*

**Luna:** What’s the sitch, dude?

**Lincoln:** Many businesses have been going bankrupt and it’s really unbelievable.

**Lori:** But how can that be?

**Lisa:** Could the closure of these businesses have been caused by corruption? Health and safety code violations?

**Lincoln:** No, we’ve been to places and they’ve shown to be corrupt and they’ve never had any health and safety code violations.

**Lynn Sr. :** That’s not the only thing in the news, *[turns the page]* many families in Royal Woods, Hazeltucky and Beaverton are homeless due to not paying bills or rent.

**Leni:***[sees a picture of the Yateses]* It’s the Yateses. They lost their house too, and why are they wearing barrels?

**Lynn:** That’s a sign of being broke, Leni.

**Lincoln:** Okay, there’s shady going on here, and we’re gonna get to the bottom of it.

**Clyde:** I’m way ahead of you, buddy.

**Lincoln:** To the Ace-Cave!

*[Luna rushes to the piano and plays three keys, this opens the wall and reveals the elevator. They all go down to the Ace Cave.]*

**Lana:** How come we never go down through poles?

**Lincoln:** Because that concept is already taken.

*[Once they arrive in the Ace-Cave, the kids suit up, pile into vanzilla, and drive off.]*

**High Card:** Okay, guys, what’s the plan?

**Ace Savvy:** First, we need to know how the stores in the newspaper went bankrupt and how the people became homeless.

*[The gang arrives at the Car Lot that is completely empty, and they see the Dealer and it’s Steve. He is trying to sell used car parts.]*

**High Card:** Steve?

**Royal Flush:** Geez, they must’ve really cleaned him out!

**One-eyed Jack:** Now he’s reduced to selling car parts.

**Steve:** Used parts! Come and get your used car parts right here!

**Strong suit:** You must be steve.

**Steve:** Yup, would you like some card parts?

**Royal Flush:** Um, we’re good.

**One-eyed Jack:** I see you're not doing so good.

**Steve:***[sighs]* Yeah.

**Ace Savvy:** Can you tell us how this happened?

**Steve:***[shudders]* I can’t say! They might find me!

**Queen of Diamonds:** Who?

**Steve:** I’m sorry, but I can’t say anything.

**Eight of Spades:** Sigh. Thank you for your time.

*[They go back into their van and they drive off. While they driving, ]*

**Night Club:** That was weird, dudes.

**Joker:** Yeah, how come he didn’t want to tell us? He acted like he did something illegal.

**Ace Savvy:** He didn’t. If he did, he would’ve been arrested.

**One-eyed Jack:** Yeah, it’s our theory that someone put steve out of business.

**Ace Savvy:** And they told him not to rat them out…

**One-eyed Jack:** Or curtains for him.

**Card Counter:** That sounds plausible.

**Ace Savvy:** It does, so it’s imperative that we know who this person or these people are.

**High Card:** How are we going to do that? If Steve won’t tell us, what are the chances of the managers telling us?

**Ace Savvy:** Hmmm, good point. *[beat]* I know! People are homeless, right?

**High Card:** Yeah, why?

**Ace Savvy:** Then they must be at the homeless shelter. We can go there and ask them who she or he is.

**Eleven of Heart:** Hey, that's not a bad idea!

**Queen of Diamonds:** Good thinking.

**High Card:** To the homeless shelter!

*[Lori kicks the van into high gear, and they speed down the street. We cut to the gang arriving at the homeless shelter. When they go inside, they find the whole place packed.]*

**Joker:** Whoa! *[pulls out a deck of cards]* Just like the cards, this is a full house! *[laughs]* Get it? But seriously, there are too many people here.

**Ace Savvy:** Once we find whoever’s behind this, we’ll get these people their homes back.

**One-eyed Jack:** Yeah, let’s start with this small family.

*[The gang goes to a five-person family.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Excuse us, we want to help you, what caused you to become homeless?

**Male Civilian #1:** I’m sorry, but I wanna protect my family, so I can’t tell you.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, we’re gonna force you to tell us.

**Jack:** Next family.

*[They go around the shelter to try and get information, but they get different kinds of noes and some lies. First a simple “no’ then some headshakes, some going “La-La-La! I’m not listening”, then a few saying I don’t know, then some families just hiding in fear, and then pretending to zip their mouths shut. We cut to them sitting on a bed, looking frustrated, except for Lana, who is eating a bowl of mac n cheese]*

**Strong Suit:** Ugh! At this rate, we’ll never help these people get their homes if they don’t tell us anything.

**Royal Flush:** *[while eating]*At least they let us have some of their food.

**Queen of Diamonds:** There’s someone in this shelter who knows!

**Voice:** Psst, Psst, *[whisper voice]* hey, I think I know something.

*[The gang looks to see a man with a black eye.]*

**The man:** But I can’t tell you in here, let’s go outside.

**Ace Savvy:***[whisper voice]* Got it.

**The man:** Hey! We’re gonna head out for a bit!

**The owner:** Okay, just be back.

*[Cut to the group outside]*

**One-eyed Jack:** Okay, tell us what exactly happened.

**The man:** Alright, I was just watching TV, and then the crime boss, Tony Maroney came in, and-

**Royal Flush:** Tony Maroney?! He’s behind this?! Then let’s go after him!

**Ace Savvy:** Wait, there could be more. So we should stay and listen.

**Card Counter:** Proceed.

**The man:** And I said, “I’m playing your games, Maroney!” and then his goons aimed their guns at me, but I was able to disarm and fend off until Maroney knocked me with his cane and gave me this black eye. But, before I blacked out, I saw them stealing my stuff, and then they stole my credit card and took all of the money out of it. And then Maroney said “come on, partner. Let’s go find another house and gamble.

**High Card:** So, Maroney tried to take your money by gambling?

**The man:** Yup.

**Ace Savvy:** And it didn’t happen to you, but it happened to everyone else in the shelter?

**The man:** Probably, like I said I only remember some of what happened. I don’t know who is, or what he looks like.

**Ace Savvy:** We understand, we’ll probably find more clues. Thanks anyway.

**The man:** No problem, Good luck!

**Strong Suit:** Thanks!

*[The Full House Gang gets in their van and they drive off.]*

**Strong Suit:** Now, let’s see if we got this right. The reason why multiple businesses are busted and people are homeless is Tony and his goons are forcing them to play their game, and making them lose all their money. Man, who knew Maroney would stoop this low.

**Ace Savvy:** I don’t know, *[he furrows his brows and strokes his chin]* I’m kind of skeptical.

**Royal Flush:** Why? This is Tony Maroney.

**Card Counter:** Yes, most crime lords have taken part in wagering currency.

**Ace Savvy:** Yeah, but this is our second year of being superheroes, and most of the crimes we found Maroney committing were Bank Robberies, Kidnappings, Counterfeiting, and shoplifting, but never gambling.

**Card Counter:** Need I remind you that Maroney is in his mid to late forties, which indicates that he has been committing crimes for nearly forty years. Since this is our second year of being superheroes, It’s possible that before, he was gambling.

**Ace Savvy:** Well, that is something to consider. But to really be sure, let’s go to the police station and look at criminal records.

**High Card:** Good idea.

*[The gang drives to the Royal Woods Police Department and once they get there, they meet up with Officer Schoffner.]*

**Officer Schoffner:** Full House Gang? What are you doing here?

**Ace Savvy:** Well, officer, you know how people have been losing their home lately?

**Office Schoffner:** Yes?

**Ace Savvy:** Well, we think the crime boss, Tony Maroney is behind it all.

**Officer Schoffner:** How?

**One-eyed Jack:** We think it’s through gambling.

**Officer Schoffner:** Are you sure?

**Ace Savvy:** Well, not really. That’s why we came here, to look at Maroney’s criminal record.

**Officer Schoffner:** Well, since this is a big case, I guess I could show you. Follow me to my office.

*[They follow the office, but as they were walking, Lana spots a donut on the floor.]*

**Royal Flush:** Ooh, someone dropped a good donut! *[picks it up and eats it]* Mmm, it's a jam-filled one.

*[Everyone else cringes in disgust]*

**Officer Schoffner:** Does that girl ever get food poisoning?

**High Card:** I don’t think so.

*[We transition to Schoffner’s office, where she looks through her filing cabinet.]*

**Officer Schoffner:** N, O, P, Q, R, S, Ah, here it is, T. *[takes out the folder and opens it]* Let’ see, Tony Carmine Maroney. Age: 46, and his crimes include, Bank Robberies, Kidnapping, Petnapping Counterfeiting, Grand Theft Auto, Breaking n' Entering, Shoplifting, Dining and Dashing, and Attempted Murder.

**Night Club:** No gambling?

**Officer Schoffner:** Nope.

**Ace Savvy:** Then I was right. He doesn't have a reputation for gambling.

**One-eyed Jack:** Then maybe Maroney is involved, but he’s just not the one who’s gambling.

**Joker:** But who is doing the gambling?

**Ace Savvy:** I don’t know, Officer, does Tony have any partner or accomplices?

**Officer Schoffner:** Actually, yes. I have files of partners and accomplices. *[takes some folders out of the cabinet and gives them to Ace.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Thanks, Ma’am. We’ll look through these and see if we can find our gambler.

**Royal Flush:** Oooh, another donut! And it’s a Bearclaw. *[picks it up and eats it]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** I recommend hiring a janitor.

**Officer Schoffner:** Noted.

*[We cut to the Ace Cave; Card Counter uses the computer to scan the files. Pictures of Maroney’s accomplices pull up on the screen.]* **Computer: Identifying...Jackson Todd, Jim Drake, Don Grayson, and Darrickson Wayne.**

*[The computer show their ages, birthdates, hobbies, and crimes.]*

**High Card:** So that’s them.

**Eleven of Hearts:** And they worked for Maroney?

**Card Counter:** Seems like it. Computer, what is their location?

**Computer: Locating….Royal Woods, Michigan.**

**Strong Suit:** Okay, anywhere specific?

**Computer: Processing….No.**

**Strong Suit:** Gah! Piece of Junk! You give all the information about them, but you won’t tell us exactly where they are?!

**High Card:** Calm down, Lynn. We’ll find them.

**Strong Suit:** Right, sorry. We just really gotta stop these creeps.

**Ace Savvy:** Oh, we will. In fact, I purpose a stakeout.

**Eleven of Hearts:** But dad said he’s making Rib for dinner.

**Card Counter:** No, Leni, stakeout is an act of secretly watching a place or person, especially to see if any illegal activity is taking place.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Oh.

**Ace Savvy:** Alright, at 8 o'clock, we’ll go out. We’ll find each of these guys and see if they’re his partner.

**One-eyed Jack:** Sounds like a plan.

*[We cut to the night and we see the Full House Gang is patrolling the city on a building. The wind blows the heroes’ clothes. Ace, the Eight of Spade, the Royal Flush, and the Queen of Diamond have their capes blow in the wind. The high card and Counter counter’s scarfs and the Eleven of Hearts’ sash blows in the wind too.]*

**Eight of Spades:** This was great, Lincoln. The nighttime will really give us a chance to show criminals the true meaning of fear.

**Ace Savvy:** Of course, Lucy, as we all know, criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot. They plan and plot, but they always get caught. So, I assure you that their evil scheme will come to naught. Now can an eye out for Maroney’s men.

*[Leni looks down and sees someone going into an alley.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Hey, guys, I see someone.

**Strong Suit:** Good eye, Leni.

**Night Club:** So, what do you do? Confront him all at once.

**Ace Savvy:** Actually, let’s surprise him like we usually do.

*[We cut to the burglar walking through the alley, holding a bag. Suddenly, there came a whooshing sound.]*

**The Burglar:** What the-?!

*[The object comes flying at the burglar's face, but he reacts quickly and ducks. The burglar takes out his flashlight and shines it at the wall. He finds an Ace Card.]*

**The Burglar:** I know that card anywhere.

*[Ace lands behind him and his cape cover his body.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Hello, what’s your name?

**The Burglar:** Like I’d tell you! *[Brandishes gun and shoots at him]*

*[Ace Savvy lunges, dodges all the shots, and uppercut him in the head. The members come down and they attack him. High Card roundhouse kicks him over to the Eleven of Hearts, who lassos him and throws him in the air. Strong Suit jumps in the air and knocks him back down with a Double Axe Handle. Once he hits the ground, they beat him up in a cloud of dust and when the dust clears, they tie him up.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Let’s try that again, what’s your name?

**The Burglar:** Okay! Okay! Name is Jim Drake, and I was born on February 14th, 1987!

**Queen of Diamonds:** What’s in the bag?

**Jim:** Uhhhhh, nothing?

**High Card:** Card Counter, open it.

**Card Counter:** With pleasure.

*[The little genius unzips the bag and finds boxes of playing cards.]*

**Joker:** Playing cards!

**High Card:** Yes, we literally found Maroney’s partner in crime.

**Jim:** Wait, Maroney? Partner?

**Ace Savvy:** That’s right, we know you’re working for Tony Maroney!

**One-eyed Jack:** And the proof is in the pudding, you have a bunch of playing cards.

**Jim:** Okay, you’re right, it’s true, I worked for Tony Maroney.

**Ace Savvy:** Yes, we knew it~! We knew- wait, worked? What do you mean?

**Jim:** I mean I used to work for Tony Maroney, but I don’t anymore.

**Eleven of Hearts:** What, why?

**Jim:** Because he betrayed me, he said he would give me half of the money he stole, so I can feed my family, who is in bad shape. But he lied to me and kept the money for himself.

*[Everyone become disappointed and sympathetic at the time]*

**Ace Savvy:** Oh, but wait, why do you have a bunch of playing cards?

**Jim:** Oh, I stole them.

**High Card:** Okay, although I feel bad for your family. But stealing is still wrong. So I’m afraid we’re gonna have to turn you in.*[takes out her phone and dials 9-1-1]*

**Jim:** Saw that coming.

*[We transition to a group of men playing poker. One man plays a deck of cards.]*

**Man # 1:** Aw man, straight flush?!

**Man # 2:** Man, Jackson, you beat us every time.

**Jackson:** That’s right, I’m the king of Poker.

*[Just then a smoke bomb lands on the table, and it goes off. ]*

**Man # 1:***[coughing]* Smoke! Everywhere!

**Man # 2:** *[coughing]* Who threw that?!

**Voice:** I did.

*[They turn around and they’re immediately hit in the faces by the Eight of Spades’ shovel. They fall unconscious. Once the smoke clears, the rest of Full house Gang.]*

**Jackson:** Full House Gang?! What the heck are you doing-*[Strong Suit throws the table]* AAH!

**Queen of Diamond:** Hands where I can see 'em!

**Jackson:** But...

**Royal Flush:** Do it! Or else!

*[The Deuce pulls out a diaper and glares at him. Jackson raises his hands.]*

**Strong Suit:** So you’re Jackson Todd, right?

**Jackson:** Yeah, who wants to know?

**Ace Savvy:** We do because you knowTony Maroney and you’re working with him!

**Night Club:** You said it yourself, dude. You’re the King of Poker.

**Eleven of Heart:** And you’re the one who’s gambling and swindling people out of their homes.

**Jackson:** Okay, you have two things right and two things wrong. You’re right about me knowing Maroney, and me being the King of Poker.*[smirk]*

*[Gang rolls their eyes}*

**Jackson:** But, you’re wrong about me working for Maroney and I’m not gambling. He said he would split the money with me, but he lied to me and threw me aside.

**The Full House Gang:***[facepalm]* Dang it!

**Jackson:** Since I’m not the man you’re looking for, will you let me go?

**High Card:** No, you still gambled and gambling is illegal.*[ takes out her phone and dials 9-1-1]*

**Jackson:** Way harsh, man.

*[We cut to a woman held at gunpoint by a man in a ski mask.]*

**Robber:** Give me your purse!

**Woman:** Okay, you take whatever you-

**Robber:***[gets hit the back by a number 5]* What the-?! *[gets shocked]* Is someone cooking something?*[Falls to the ground]*

*[The camera pans over to the Full House Gang.]*

**Card Counter:** There you go, madam. You may keep your purse.

**Woman:** Thank you! Thank you so much*![runs away]*

*[One-eyed Jack unmasks him, revealing Don Grayson.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Don Grayson. We’ve been looking for you.

**Queen of Diamonds:** Because you know Tony Maroney, and we think you're his gambler.

**Don Grayson:** Okay, I know Maroney, but I don’t work for him anymore.

**Night Club:** How come?

**Don Grayson:** I saw him trying to pick up my wife, and that’s when I stopped working with him.

**Ace Savvy:***[facepalms]* Dangit!

**Deuce:** Dannit!

*[Don gets away and dashes away.]*

**Queen: of Diamonds:** Oh no you don't!*[throws her crown at Don]*

**Don Grayson:** Ow!

*[Don falls to the ground and becomes dazed]*

**Royal Flush:** Cross Don off the list.

*[We cut to a burglar trying to pry the car with a crowbar. But then his wrist is grabbed by the Eleven of Hearts’ sash and he gets pulled to the ground.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Guys, I got him~!

*[The rest of the gang jumps off the building.]*

**Night Club:** Nice job, dude!

**Joker:** We finally found Maroney’s partner, Darrickson Wayne!

**Darrickson:** What? I’m not working for Maroney.

**High Card:***[sighs]* What’s your story?

**Darrickson:** I just quit.

**Strong Suit:** And…

**Darrickson:** That’s it. I just quit.

*[The gang facepalms]*

**Ace Savvy:** let’s just call the police.

*[High Card takes out her phone and dials 9-1-1]*

**Ace Savvy:***[Groans]* We’ll never know who is gambling partner!

**Darrickson:** I think I know something?

**Ace Savvy:** Huh?

**Darrickson:** I heard a police report that says Maroney, his partner, and his goons are gonna be at a warehouse. You can confront them there.

**One-eyed Jack:** Oh, wow, that’s pretty helpful. Thanks.

**Darrickson:** Does that mean I’m free?

**Joker:***[Laughs, then becomes serious.]* No.

**Darrickson:** Awww.

                                \*\*\*

*[We cut to a rooftop by the warehouse; the kids were drinking some soda and the teens were drinking cups of coffee.]*

**Royal Flush:** Ah, the sweet taste of soda. This will keep us awake for sure.

**High Card:** That was the first time a criminal helped us out.

**Strong Suit:** We’ll know who the Gambler is for sure.

**Queen of Diamonds:** That’s our daddy’s restaurant will be safe.

**Eleven of Heart:** And we won’t have to sell used parts like Steve.

**Ace Savvy:** *[Hears beeping]* Huh?*[looks below the edge of the building]* Guys, look.

*[The other members look down and they see five vans pulling up. Outcomes Maroney and his partner whose face was obscured by a dark green cloak. Seven men come out of all five vans. Two men carry a woman who is bound and gagged]*

**Maroney:** Alright, boys, Me and my partner will be in the office dealing with our guest, while the rest of you stay out here.

**Thug #1:**We’re on it, boss!

**Thug # 2:** Yeah, we won’t let you down!

*[The first group goes in and the seconds stay outside. A few thugs wielded bats, while others had riot shields and knives. The camera pans to the heroes. ]*

**Ace Savvy:** Alright, guys, time to make an entrance.

*[Ace and Night Club go first. Ace glides down and Night Club flies down with her jetpack. They both end up kicking two thugs in.]*

**Thug # 3:** They’re here

**Thug # 4:** Get them!

*[The Eleven of Hearts uses the sash on her outfit as a utility rope, swings down, and kicks one thug in the face. The other members jump down and fight the thugs. High Card punches and kicks a few thugs and hits several more with bolas.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Diamond Nail Storm! *[Summons tiny diamond stars and throws them toward the thugs, but the thugs block them with their riot shields]* Dang it!

**Ace Savvy:** Don’t worry, I have a way to take them down.

**Queen of Diamonds:** What?

**Ace Savvy:** Aerial Attack!

*[Ace runs at the thugs and swipes them with his cape two times. Ace jumps on one thug and knocks him to the ground with a Double Axe Handle; he then hits another thug with a jump spin kick. Some thugs come charging in with knives.]*

**Joker:** Come on, Spade, let’s have their attack plan go up in smoke! *[laughs]*

*[Eight of Spades pulls out two smoke bombs and throws them at the thugs, blinding the thugs. Once the smoke clears, they find that their knives have been replaced with balloon swords.]*

**Joker:** Looks like you guys are airs to the balloon dynasty*[laughs]*

*[The thugs growl at her and start hitting the Joker with their balloon, but they don’t hurt her and this gives Luan the chance to take them all out.]*

*[Strong Suit and Royal Flush fend off some thugs. Royal Flush hits several with her monkey wrench and plunges one thug in the face with her toilet plunger. Stronger Suit punches and kicks some thugs; one tries swinging at her but one hand closes around the bat and the other delivers a crashing jab that sends the thug flying.]*

**Strong Suit:** This bat should come in handy.

*[Card Counter throws some numbers at thugs and he makes them explode and Deuce throws diaper bombs at some thugs.]*

**Deuce:** Ake At! *[Translation:Take that!]*

*[Ace Savvy punches two thugs and side-kicks one thug and roundhouse kicks another thug.Ace Savvy pulls out a grappling gun and fires at a thug; the claw latches onto his shoulder and Ace pulls the thug towards him and clocks him with an insanely strong left hook. One-eyed Jack shoots at a couple of thugs with his Poker-Chip blaster.]*

**Ace Savvy:** That’s all of them!

*[One thug gets back up and rushes at Ace, but he knocks him out with an offhand backhand.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Now that’s all of them.

**Strong Suit:** Nice one, Linc!

**Ace Savvy:** Thanks, now let’s go inside!

*[The Full House Gang head inside and they take the stairs. We cut to Tony Maroney and his partner bringing the lady to their office. The lady lets out muffled yells and tries to resist.]*

**Maroney:** Relax, Doll. We’re not gonna hurt you.

**The Partner:** *[low voice]* We just want your money.*[pulls out a deck of cards]*

**Ace Savvy:***[offscreen]* Maroney! *[the camera pans over the Full House Gang]* You and your partner’s gambling days are over!

**One-eyed Jack:** Now tell us where you’re keeping the money you stole!

**Maroney:** Never! Partner, you keep an eye on our guest. I’ll take care of these kids.

*[Maroney takes off jacket and tie; he rolls his shirt’s sleeves and assumes a fight pose.]*

**Maroney:** Time for a lesson, Full House Gang, and it’s called "Getting your butts kicked 101".

**Ace Savvy:** Sorry, but we already know that lesson and we’re gonna teach it to you!

**Maroney:** We’ll see about that.

*[The gang and Maroney hurtle towards one another; Ace lands a solid kick that staggers Tony. He turns around just in time to catch a double dose of numbers in the back, courtesy of the Card Counter. The numbers shock him and then they explode. The blast sends him forward and Strong Suit aims a right hook; even though Maroney stops it, he is still driven back by the impact.]*

**High Card:** Hey, Maroney, say cheese!

*[High Card held her phone against Maroney’s face and her phone let out a flash that stings Maroney’s eyes.]*

**Maroney:** *[screams]* My eyes! *[covers his eye and backward]*

*[Eleven of Hearts whips Maroney with her whip and he gets knocked forward; Night Club hits Maroney with a sound wave and the Eight of Spades hits him in the face with his shovel. Maroney becomes dazed and stumbles backward.]*

**Joker:** Hey Maroney! You lost your marbles?! *[throws some marbles]*

*[Maroney slips on the marbles and then the Queen of Diamond hits him with a jumping roundhouse kick. Maroney launched into some crates. Maroney gets up and starts throwing crates at the gang.]*

**Queen of Diamond:** Diamond Sword! *[summons a diamond sword]*

*[The Queen slices several crates, Maroney growls and charges at the heroes. Lynn intercepts him by hitting face with her bat; Maroney then gets struck by the Deuce’s diapers and he gets struck by One-eyed Jack.]*

**Royal Flush:** Hey Maroney! You look like you need a bath! Let me help!*[loosens the bolt on a pipe and sprays water out.]*

*[Maroney gets hit with the water and gets sent across the room.]*

**Maroney:***[his shirt shrinks and becomes tight]* Oh, no! This shirt is dry clean only!

**Ace Savvy:***[to Maroney’s partner]*Alright, Gambler!

**Partner:** Shoot!

*[The Partner dashes to the window and jumps out of it.]*

**Maroney:** Hey! Come back!

*[The Gang goes to the window and they find that he has disappeared.]*

**High Card:** Where’d he go?

**Ace Savvy:**  I don’t know, but we’ll catch him. He probably won’t be able to get people’s Maroney.

**Card Counter:** I concur. It’s most likely that Maroney puts the money in his bank account and they split the money, 50/50. Plus, he won’t have Maroney’s men to use for intimidation.

**One-eyed Jack:** Well, he won’t be getting any money in jail!

*[ Ace puts Maroney in ace handcuffs.]*

**Maroney:** I can’t believe I’ve failed again.

**Strong Suit:** Believe it, Maroney! *[Hears police sirens]* Because the police are here.

**Maroney:** Dangit.

                                       \*\*\*

*[We cut to Duds for Dudes where Mr. Spokes is standing at the counter whistling and writing down something on a piece of paper. Someone comes in.]*

**Mr. Spokes:** Hey there, fellas. How can I help you?

**Maroney’s partner:** you can help us by…*[pulls out a deck of cards]*playing solitaire.

*[We cut to the cafeteria, where Lincoln and his friends (barring Rusty) are talking. Chandler was just texting on his phone. Rusty comes to the table, looking apprehensive. ]*

**Rusty:** Guys, you are gonna believe this!

**Lincoln:** Rusty, what’s wrong?

**Rusty:** My dad’s tailor shop has swindled!

**Lincoln:***[under his breath]* The Gambler! Uh, how long will it take for him to restock?

**Rusty:** Two weeks.

**Chandler:***[while texting]* Welp, I guess you’re not going to that party.

**Zach:** Stay out of this, Zach!

**Lincoln:** Yeah, this is serious. There could be a possibility that my dad’s restaurant will be next.

**Chandler:** Whatever, that’s your problem, not mine.

*[Lincoln scoffs and rolls his eyes. We cut to the Loud Mansion.]*

**Lori:** You’re kidding, right?

**Lincoln:** No, it’s true, Mr. Spokes’ shop is empty.

**Lana:** But how? We took down Maroney.

**Lincoln:** I know, that’s why we need to investigate and once we do, we can finally put an end to this.

**Sisters (except Lily):** Yeah!

**Lily:** *[holds her Deuce mask]* Ga-ga!

*[We cut to everyone in the Ace-Cave where Lisa is building some new inventions.]*

**Lisa:** Okay, they are complete.

**Lincoln:** What did you create, Lisa?

**Lisa:** I’ve created some inventions that’ll be helpful for our mission .

**Lincoln:** Like what?

**Lisa:***[shows her first invention]*This is called the Line Launcher. This device allows you to launch a horizontal zip-line that’ll help you traverse large gaps and traps.

**Lincoln:** Sweet, what else do you have?

**Lisa:***[shows her second invention]* I have these, concussion dice, these will temporarily stun our enemies once they’re rolled.

**Lincoln:** Cool! What else?!

**Lisa:***[shows her third invention]*These are Flash Bang Chips, these are composed of smoke-like gas that temporarily turns a victim blind and deaf.

**One-eyed Jack:** Cool, I can put those in my poker chip blaster.

**Joker:** Yeah, then you’ll really be a chip off the old block *[Laughs]*

*[Everyone groans and rolls their eyes.]*

*\*\*\**

*[Later at night, we see a thug coming out from a building, carrying a bag. The Eight of Spades is seen above, standing on top of a gargoyle.]*

**Eight of Spades:***[talks on an earpiece]* Okay, Lincoln, I see him.

**Ace Savvy:** Good, what’s he carrying?

**Eight of Spades:** A bag?

**Ace Savvy:** What’s in the bag?

**Eight of Spades:** I don’t know, but I think he’s about to say.

**Thug:***[phone rings and answers it]* Hello? *[beat]* Yes, I’ve got the card, tell the boss I’ll be there in a few minutes.

**Eight of Spades:** Lincoln, he said, he has cards and he said “boss”.

**Ace Savvy:** Then that could mean he’s working with the Gambler. Now, remember the inverted takedown we practiced?

**Eight of Spades:** Yes.

*[As the thug is walking, Lucy quickly lowers herself with her grappling hook latched to gargoyles, stopping from hitting the ground.]*

**Thug:** *[gets grabbed]* Huh, what the-?!*[gets pulled up]*

*[She then throws onto the building]*

**Eight of Spades:**I got him.

*[The rest of the gang jump off and they land on the building that Lucy and the thug are on. The gang stares him down and One-eyed Jack crosses his arms.]*

**High Card:** You got some information we need.

**Ace Savvy:***[grabs him by his collar]* Tell us who the Gambler is!

**Thug:** I won’t tell you anything!

**Ace Savvy:** Talk!

**Thug:**No!

**Ace Savvy:** Alright. I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way. Strong Suit!

**Strong Suit:** I’m on it. *[pulls out her bat]*

*[Strong Suit walks up to the thug who whimpers; it goes to the gang watching as the thug is beaten senseless by the Strong Suit, the fighting noises are heard and the thug is screaming.]*

**Thug:** Not the face! *[continues getting beat up]* Wait, what are you doing?! OOOOOOOW!

*[The gang winces]*

**Thug:**MY KIWIS!

*[We see the thug all beaten up and holding his crotch.]*

**Strong Suit:** Now will you tell us?

**Thug:***[groans in pain]* Never!

**Strong Suit:** That’s it! *[raises her bat]*

**Ace Savvy:** Wait! Let’s try a more funny approach. Joker?

**Joker** I like the way you’re thinking, Ace! *[brandishes two feathers]* This plan really ruffles my feathers! *[laughs]*

*[The Joker starts tickling the thug and he gets into a laughing fit. This goes for half a minute, the thug sheds a few tears and he starts talking.]*

**Thug:***[laughing]* Okay! Okay! I’ll talk! I’ll Talk!

*[Joker stops and lets the thug catch his breath.]*

**Joker:** Classic way of getting information!

**Thug:** Okay, I’ll tell you. I don’t know who the Gambler  is.

**The Full House Gang:** WHAT?!

**Strong Suit:** He’s lying!

**Thug:** I’m not! I swear! I’m new to this mob, they barely told me anything. All I know is that he was trusted by Tony Maroney to take over the gang while he's in prison, he wants to steal as much stuff as he can, so he can be filthy rich. Richer than the richest kid in Royal Woods and that’s everything I know.

**The Full Deck:***[narrows their eyes]* Everything?

**Thug:** I used to sleep with a teddy bear ‘til I was 14.

**The Full Deck:** Losing our patience!

**Ace Savvy:** I can'thold my friends much longer. You better have something we could use.

**Thug:** Okay, I know where the hideout is, it’s at a Steel Mill in Beaverton.

**Ace Savvy:** That’s all we need.

*[Ace restrains him with some handcuffs and legcuffs and they start walking away.]*

**Thug:** Hey! You can't just leave me like this!

**High Card:** You're right. We'll make sure the cops come pick you up.

*[The thug starts sweating and whimpering. We cut to the gang driving out of Royal Wood.]*

**High Card:** Okay, Steel Mill in Beaverton, that’s where we have to go.

**Strong Suit:** Ugh, Beaverton. Home of the Beaverton Bees, the rival to my team, the Kangaroos.

**Royal Flush:** But I thought his hideout was in Royal Woods.

**Card Counter**: Perhaps, since we know where his original hideout is, he relocated to a new hideout to throw us off his trail.

**Strong Suit:** Well, he can’t run from us forever! We’ll kick his butt!

**Joker:**Yeah, that’ll teach not to *steel* *[laughs]* Get it? He’s at a Steel Mill.

*[The rest of the heroes groaned and they continued down the road. We cut to the Steel Mill and it looks heavily guarded; two guards with guns stand by the gate; two guards stand on one balcony and two guards stand on another; four snipers are inside watchers. We cut to a shot of vanzilla in an alley and then we pan up to the heroes on top of a building that’s across from the mill.]*

**Night Club:** Man, dudes, it’s either that the Gambler ramped the security of this place, or it’s always been like this.

**Card Counter:** It’s probably the latter.

**Eleven of Hearts:** What’d we do?

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, Lisa, do you have your disruptor?

**Card Counter:** Affirmative, unfortunately, I only have four shots.

**Ace Savvy:** It’s okay, you can disable the four snipers while we take care of the rest.

**Card Counter:** Sounds fair.

*[Ace Savvy deploys the line launcher and he, One-eyed and the Card Counter crawl on the zipline. While the guards are not looking, Card Counter fires the disruptor and disables their guns.]*

**Ace Savvy:***[whispers]* Weapons sabotaged. Now let’s blind and deafen these snipers.

**One-eyed Jack:** Way ahead of you.

*[One-eyed Jack fires four Flash Bang Chips at four thugs and they become incapacitated.]*

**Sniper #1:** I can’t see!

**Sniper #2:** What?! I can’t hear anything!

**Gate Guard # 1:** What the...?!

**Gate Guard # 2:** What’s going with snipe-?

*[The sound of rolling dice cut him off and they detonated. The thugs mindlessly shoot all over the place. High Card, Eleven of Hearts, and Joker swing across and throw more dice. The dice hit the thugs on the balcony and they start shooting mindlessly too. The three teenagers land. Night Club flies in and she holds Royal Flush by the armpits.]*

**Night Club:** Alright, Lans, throw it!

**Royal Flush:** You got it!

*[Royal Flush throws her wrench at the first two guards on the first balcony. They get hit and they fall off.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** *[jumps off the building]*Here I come!

*[The Queen glides in and scissor kicks two guards off the second balcony.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Two guards dispatched!

*[Strong Suit picks up Deuce and her and the Eight of Spades land in the drop-zone. The two preteens take out the Gate Guards.]*

**Strong Suit:** Boom! Alright, Lily, do your thing!

**Deuce:** Ot it! *[Translation: Got it!]*

*[Deuce pulls out 4 diapers and she disperse them. They land on each of the bottom stairs of the four watchtowers. Once the snipers regain their eyesight  and hearing, they spot the heroes.]*

**Sniper # 3:** It’s them!

**Sniper # 4:** Fire at will!

*[They try shooting at them but nothing happens.]*

**Sniper # 2:** Dang it! These guns must be broken!

**Sniper # 1:** Let’s just go down!

*[The thugs drop their gun and they go down to confront the heroes but when they get  to the bottom stairs, they are immediately blown away by the explosive diapers.]*

**Deuce:** Boom!

*[Ace, Jack and the counter jump off the zipline.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, guys, let’s go inside!

*[The team goes through the front door and they arrive in the warehouse.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** The gambler isn’t here.

**Royal Flush:** We could look in the Steel Making lab.

**Ace Savvy:** Good idea!

*[The team goes to a door on the left but Ace Savvy looks through a window and finds 14 armed guards inside.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Wait! There are guards in there.

**High Card:** Are you kidding? We don’t have time for this.

**Strong Suit:** Yeah, we need to confront the gambler.

**Royal Flush:** I got an idea! How about we combined Lily’s diapers and Lucy’s smoke bomb and it’ll form a gas so bad, it’ll knock all of these guys out.

**Card Counter:** Not a bad idea, but we’ll need the precise amount of fecal matter... *[Lily poops off-screen]* Oh, which Lily has helpfully provided.

*[We see Lily with a full diaper.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Okay, here goes nothing.

*[Eight of Spades drops one of her smoke bombs in the diaper and she hands it to Royal Flush. She throws the diaper in the room. Before anyone could react, the diaper detonates; which then causes a small mushroom cloud of stank to fill the room. The thugs hacked and gagged violently, upon smelling the rancid aroma.]*

**Thug # 1:** Oh, my goodness! I think I’m gonna pass out!

**Thug # 2:** Me too!

*[All of the thugs fall unconscious and Ace opens the door and lets out all of the stink. Once the room is aired out, the Louds run through the room and then they go through a corridor. After they go through the corridor, they find themselves in the loading bay. They are surrounded by crates and boxes full of peoples’ stuff.]*

**Ace Savvy:** It’s everyone’s stuff. So this is where the gambler is keeping it.

**High Card:***[finds golf clubs]* Look, guys, I found Carol’s golf clubs

**Card Counter:***[finds Rafo]* I find Darcy’s fake Giraffa Camelopardalis, street name, Giraffe.

**One-eyed Jack:***[finds some fancy clothes]* And I found Rusty’s dad’s clothes.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, now that we found the stolen items, Lori, call the police.

**High Card:**I’m on it.*[takes out her phone and dials 9-1-1]*

*[The Full house Gang went to another room and they found dozens of thugs outside of  an office. They hide behind a shelf full of crates.]*

**Joker:** What are they waiting for?

**Night Club:** They must be waiting for the boss man.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, let’s get ready for a big fight.

**Strong Suit:** Oh, We’re ready!

*[The Full House Gang get from behind the shelf and they stand before the thugs. The gang form determined looks on their face.]*

**Strong Suit:** Hey! *[stomps his foot and this causes the floor to vibrate]*

*[The thugs feel the vibrations under their feet and they get caught completely by surprise.]*

**Thug:** It’s them! The Full House Gang!

*[The regular thugs brandished several weapons such as bats, pipes, riot shields, crowbars, knives, pistols, and rifles. Four brutes wielded giant mallets. The Full House Gang pulls out their weapons and they strike fighting poses.]*

**???:***[offscreen]* Hold back! Let me take a good look at these heroes.

*[The thugs shuffle aside to form a path and the hooded gambler walks out the aisle and stands before the heroes.]*

**The Gambler:** Well, Well, Well, look what look we have here, 13 pesky rats that stuck their noses where they don't belong.

**Ace Savvy:** You’re the gambler. Tell us who you are and why you're going around stealing people's stuff!

**The Gambler:** If you say so.

*[The Gambler grabs his cloak and throws it off. The Gambler is revealed to be Elementary School student, Chandler McCann. He is wearing green, fingerless gloves with covered dice. He is also wearing a yellow business suit with dice and a green bowler hat. The Full House Gang gasp and they are flabbergasted.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Chandler?! You’re the Gambler?!

**Chandler:** Yes,*[whips out his deck of cards]*yes, I am.

**Ace Savvy:** But why?

**Chandler:** Oh, I think you and your family have something to do with it.

*[The Full Deck gasp]*

**High Card:** How did you know who we are?

**Chandler:** Come on! Other people may dumb enough to believe your different people, but not me. I can see right through your disguises.

**Ace Savvy:**  And What are you talking about? What does my family have to do with you gambling?

**Chandler:** Well, your family’s rich right? You buy lots of nice and expensive things and what do you do?  You go around making us middle class kids look like losers, especially me. That’s why I’ve decided to expand on my gambling business, so I can be on top of the food chain! So I can be richer than you! So I can be better than you!

**Ace Savvy:** But how did you get in league with Tony Maroney?

**Chandler:** Well, It all started on a Monday.

*[We cut to a flashback, and we see Chandler playing a game called Dos, and his opponent is Penelope. She puts down a card.]*

**Penelope:** Yes! I have two cards left! Soon your brownies will be mine!

**Chandler:** *[scoffs]* Oh, so you say.

*[Chandler draws an omit card.]*

**Chandler:** Yes, Omit! I get to go again!

*[Chandler draws another card.]*

**Penelope:** Alright, my turn!

*[Penelope draws another card.]*

**Penelope:** Dos! One more card and I win.

**Chandler:** Oh, I’m gonna lose? Oh, that’s a shame, I’ll just accept defeat and…*[drops his cards]* Oops, I dropped my card, I’ll just pick them up.

*[Chandler goes under the table and then he pulls  a switch hands card out of his sock and places the regular number card in his sock.]*

**Chandler:** *[rises up]* Okay, I got my cards.

**Penelope:** Good, it’s your turn.

**Chandler:** Alright, *[draws a card]* Hah! Switch hands!

**Penelope:** Aww, man.

*[Two swap cards and Chnadler puts her last card.]*

**Chandler:** Dos Done! Now give me your mini donuts

**Penelope:** *[groans]* Fine*. [slides the donuts across the table]*

**Chandler:** Sweet!

*[We cut to the front of the school and we hear the bell ring as all of the students exit the school. Chandler walks out and he is  immediately greeted Maroney, who is flipping a coin.]*

**Maroney:** Hello, Mr. McCann

**Chandler:** Um, who are you?

**Maroney:** It’s me, the one and only Tony Maroney.

**Chandler:** Yeah, I’ve never heard you.

**Maroney:** What?! Surely you’ve seen me on the news.

**Chandler:** Yeah, I don’t watch the news.

**Maroney:** Well, now that you met me, why don’t I take you out somewhere.

**Chandler:** Eh, why not. I’ve nothing planned.

*[We cut to  Amores Pizza in Great Lakes, and a close-up of a glass and a red beverage pouring into the glass. We zoom out and see that a waiter is pouring cherry soda. Chandler is eating Garlic Knots and Maroney is eating  Baked Rigatoni.]*

**Maroney:** Are you sure you don’t want anything else?

**Chandler:** Yeah, I’m sure. *[dips his knot into marinara sauce]* I wanna save room for dinner. *[stuffs it in his mouth and starts talking while eating]* So, why exactly did you take me here?

**Maroney:** Well, I’m glad you asked. *[takes another bite of his pasta]* When I broke out of prison, I decided to look for a new asset to my crime organization, and then I saw you gambling and cheating and I realized you’re pretty good for a kid. So, I was wondering if you could join,

**Chandler:** Uh... I don't know. I'm not too sure. I really don’t want to go to jail.

**Maroney:** Chandler, Chandler, Chandler. You're not looking at the big picture. When you’re with us, we’ll keep your identity secret. That way no one will know it’s you, besides with you on my side, we can get anything we want. Maybe even money.

**Chandler:** *[mischievously grins]* Well, I always wanted to be richer than Lincoln Lame and I could get everything I’ve wanted. Okay, Maroney, you’ve got a deal.

**Maroney:** Excellent.

*[They shake hands. Cuts to the Yates’ house and Bumper Sr. is reading the newspaper, Jancey Yates is dusting her furniture, Bumper Jr. is working on his math homework, Bella practicing her violin, Beatrix is working on her computer,  Belle is studying her study our state capitals flash cards and Beau is painting a portrait. A knock is heard at the door.]*

**Bumper Sr. :** Oh, I wonder who that could be.

**Jancey:** Probably a guest stopping by to say hello.

**Bumper Sr. :** *[opens the door]* Hello. *[gets pushed back inside by a thug]*

*[The other Yateses recoil in fear as more thugs come inside. The thugs shuffled to the side, opening up to create a path to the front line of their formation.]*

**Chandler:** Hello, Yates family.

**Bumper Jr. :** What do you want?

**Bella:** Please don’t hurt us!

**Chandler:** Oh, We’re not gonna hurt you. *[takes out some dice and starts tossing up and down in his hand]* We just want to play a game.

**Bumper Sr. :** Oh, that doesn’t sound so bad.

**Maroney:** And we’re gonna take your stuff if you lose.

*[All of the yates’ gasp.]*

**Jancey:** Bumper, call the police.

**Bumper Sr. :** Good idea. *[a large muscular thug snatched his phone and he swallowed his phone whole]* My phone!

**Bumper Sr. :** I suppose.

**Chandler:** Okay, *[snaps his fingers]* set 'em up.

*[A thug sets up a folding table and two thugs put folding chairs.]*

**Bumper Sr. :** What are we playing?

**Chandler:** Yahtzee. *[throws some dice on the table and flings two score cards. He points to Bumper Sr.]* Since you’re the father, I want you to play me.

**Bumper Sr. :** I’ve played this game before, I’m sure I have a chance.

*[Chandler and Bumper sit at the table and they get ready to play.]*

**Chandler: Are** you ready...?

**Bumper Sr. :** Yes, I-

**Chandler:** Ready to lose?!

**Bumper Sr. :** That’s not being a good sport.

**Chandler:** Whatever.

*[Bumper Sr. rolls first, leaves a pair of 3s and scoops up three dice, rolls again]*

**Bumper Sr. :** Uhhh, I'm gonna count five in my five box.

**Chandler:** *[rolls and gets five 4s]* Yahtzee.

*[Bumper Sr. gasps and we jump cut to the Yates outside, wearing barrels and they have nothing underneath.]*

**Beau:** 오, 이건 나쁘다. *[**Oh, man, this is bad.**]*

*[We also see the gang puting all the yates’ stuff in a truck.]*

**Maroney:** That’s the last of it.

**Chandler:** Thank you so much for playing us. *[gets in the truck and sits in the passenger’s seat.]* Oh, by the way, if you tell anyone about this, we’ll send our goons after you. Capiche?

**The Yates Family:** *[nervous]* Capiche.

**Chandler:** Good.

*[The gang drives off ]*

**Chandler:** Man, that was a piece of cake.

**Maroney:** Yeah, you totally bamboozled them with those trick dice.

**Chandler:** All it took was putting them in the oven for 10 minutes.

**Maroney:** I like those odd.

*[Cut to the gang stopping at Flip's Food & Fuel.]*

**Chandler:** I’ll do this on my own.*[gets out of the truck]*

*[We see Flip soaking his feet in the nacho cheese dispenser; the door opens.]*

**Chandler:** Hello there, Flip. *[pulls out a deck of cards]* You like poker, don’t you?

**Flip:** Well, depends if you’re willing to bet.

**Chandler:** Oh, I am. I’m betting my money against all of you snacks.

**Flip:** You can bet whatever you want, but I’ll be the one that’s sitting in the winner circle when we’re done

**Chandler:** We’ll see about that.

*[Chandler starts shoveling the cards and lays them on the table.]*

**Flip:** You’ll see, Chief. This'll be over in 10 seconds.

*[We immediately jump cut to Flip putting snacks in a large burlap sack and grumbling while doing so. Flip gives  Chandler the bag.]*

**Chandler:** Nice doing business with ya, Flip.

*[Chandler goes back into the truck.]*

**Chandler:** Oh, don’t tell anyone or…*[draws his finger across his throat.]*

**Flip:***[nervous]* Okay! Okay! I don't want any trouble.

**Chandler:** Keep your yap shut and you won't get any!

*[The gang drives off and Flip is left worried.]*

**Flip:** Aw, man! It’s gonna take me weeks to get this place restocked!

*[Cut to the Gang and they were drinking some Flippees.]*

**Maroney:** Smooth move, Mr.McCann.

**Chandler:** Please, you can call me the Chandman.

**Maroney:**  Nice cheating, Chandman.

**Chandler:** Yeah, I pretended to drop my card, kept playing and played the Ace of Spades.

**Maroney:** Man, you and I make a good team. Let’s getthr  rest of Royal Wood and why stop there? We can get other places in Michigan, like Beaverton, Hazeltucky and even Great.

**Chandler:** Hey, that's not a bad idea! Let’s do it! *[raises his arms up in excitement, but he accidentally spills on Maroney’s suit]*

**Maroney:** *[groans]* Not again!

**Chandler:** Sorry.

**Maroney:** fuhgeddaboudit, let’s just stop at the drycleaners and you don’t have to swindle them.

**Chandler:** Okay.

*\*\*\**

*[We cut back to the present and Chandler looking at some playing cards.]*

**Chandler:** And that’s how I became Michigan’s most prestigious gambler and hostiler.

**Ace Savvy:** Well, we’re to put an end to your operation!

**One-eyed Jack:** Yeah, we’re gonna expose your plan and get everyone’s stuff back!

**Queen of Diamonds:** You said you wanted to be better than us, but It won’t happen!

**Strong Suit:** Not like this!

**Chandler:** Oh, it will, because you’ll be out of the picture since you discovered our operation. Alright,Men...it’s time for the final hand.

**Ace Savvy:** Alright, guys, you what time is, it’s time…

**The Full House Gang:** To deal out some justice!

*[The final battle commences; the gang and the thugs charged at one another. Ace Savvy punches and kicks multiple thugs and then he throws two cards at two thugs. Two thugs charge at Clyde with knives but he hits them with a split kick. He dispatches some thugs and fires three flash bang chips at three thugs and they get knocked out.]*

*[One thug tries to hit Lincoln with a straight punch, but he catches his attack and starts wailing him with punches and then he hits with a tornado kick. Ace Savvy pulls out a grappling gun and fires at a thug; the claw latches onto his shoulder and Ace swings him around in a circle.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Jack, up high!

*[Ace throws him to Jack and he does a jump spin hook kick. Elsewhere, the Night Club is flying and attacking several thugs. She then blasts many thugs with a sound wave.]*

**Night Club:** Whoa, yeah! Kickstart my heart!

*[One thug elbows Luna into a shelf. Suddenly, some large amp falls off the shelf and]*

**Night Club:** Look like they stole some amps.*[pauses and grins]*

*[She sets them up, turns them up to 100 and plugs in her guitar; Some thugs regroup and they come near the Night Club.]*

**Night Club:** Alright, boys, ready to hear my new song? It’s called Crashing Chords!

*[Night Club starts playing  some wicked chords and the thugs’ ears start ringing.]*

**Night Club:** Woooh! Ya feel it, guys! YA FEEL IT!

**Joker:** Nice like playing, Luna! You gave me an opening!

*[Joker throws some pies at two thugs and hits one thug with her rubber chicken. She then shoots several thugs with eggs. Joker then runs at some thugs; the thugs shoot at her, but Joker leaps in the air and throws some banana peels. They slip on the peels, Joker lands and punches and kicks more thugs; she sprays some with her squirt flower.]*

**Joker:***[sticks out her hand]* Put 'er there! *[shakes hands with a thug and electrocutes her with a joy buzzer.]* What a shocking development! *[laughs]* Get it?

*[We cut to Ace Savvy taking out some thugs and he spots Chandler trying to escape.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Chandler!

*[Ace Savvy chases after him and he tackles him. They roll over the floor and then Chandler kicks off but Ace lands and skids across the floor.]*

**Ace Savvy:** You don’t have to do this, Chandler.

**Chandler:** Actually, I do. *[whips out some cards]*

*[Chandler throws some cards at Ace Savvy but he dodges them and he throws his own cards, but Chandler dodges them. Chandler rushes at him with a sudden string of punches; Ace dodges and tries a few counterattacks, but Chandler gets him in a headlock. Ace hits in the head with reverse elbows, this gets him out of Chandler and hits him with a jump spin backfist. Both retreat a bit, trying to catch their breath and clear their heads.]*

*[Cut to High Card and Eleven of Hearts fighting some thugs. One of the thugs aims his pistol at the girls, but Eleven of Hearts wraps her sash around her wrist and twists it. High Card runs at the thug and hits him with a jump-spin hook kick.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Nice one, Lori!

**High Card:** Thanks!

*[High Cards throws some concussion dice at some thugs and hits them with her bolas.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Hey, Lori, toss me some of those dice!

*[High Card throws the dice to Eleven of Hearts]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Ooh, a bobby pin!

*[Leni bends over and one comes behind him to her with a pipe, but he is immediately with the concussion dice and he becomes stunned.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:***[get ups]* Got it!*[looks behind her]* Oh no! A thug! *[hits in the head and knocks to the ground]* What? He didn’t fight back? Lori, did you know that thug was gonna attack him?

*[Lori blinks in confusion.]*

**High Card:** Uh, sure, Leni.

*[We cut to the Royal Flush taking out some thugs with her monkey wrench. She then kicks one into the wall.]*

**Royal Flush:** Time to blow off some steam!

*[Royal Flush lunges over to the wall and dislodges a pipe. The thug gets blasted in the face with hot steam.]*

**The Thug:** AAH! EYES! *[covers his eyes]*

*[Queen of Diamonds throws her crown at the blinded thug. Thugs charge at the Queen with some riot shields.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Diamond Gauntlets!*[summons some large diamond gauntlets with spikes on the knuckles]*

*[The Queen charges at thugs and bashes their shield to pieces with strong haymakers. Cut to the Strong Suit taking out some thugs. She hits several thugs with crosses and hooks; she hits one with a push kick; she hits another one with side-kick and another one with a roundhouse kick. ]*

**Strong Suit:** Come on! Is that best you got?!

*[Four brutes come at her with mallets and one of them swings at her but she swiftly moves.]*

**Strong Suit:** That’s more like it!

*[The four brutes keep swinging at her, but she dodges them and then she dives on the floor to avoid the swing. The first brute brings his mallet down, but she somersaults and he ends hitting the ground instead. She jumps up and grabs him by the collar.]*

**Strong Suit:** Hold still, handsome!*[punches him the face]*

*[Strong Suit uppercuts him and then she jumps on top of his shoulders; she starts punching him in the face but as she’s doing this, the second brute tries to punch her but she jumps off and the second brute ends up hitting the first brute, knocking him out in the process.]*

**Strong Suit:** Phew, that was close!

*[The third brute and the fourth brute comes running at her and then she grabs a crate and throws it at them but only the third brute gets hit and hits the wall; the third brute starts swinging at her but she dodges the attacks and then Lynn hits him in the leg with her baseball bat and she hits him in the face, knocking him out. ]*

**Strong Suit:** He’s gonna feel that in the morning.

*[The fourth and final brute gets up and the strong suit comes at him; the brutes swings at her and she dodges. The brute swings at her, but she dodges, hammefists his arm and tackles his leg to knock him to the floor.]*

**Strong Suit:** Now I really got you now!

*[The brute push kicks her and gets sent flying back to the spot where she took out the third brute. Strong suit picks herself up and she sees the third brute’s mallet.]*

**Strong Suit:** Okay, that’s it!

*[Strong Suit lifts up the mallet and the final brute charges at her. Strong Suit swings it around in a circle and then she delivers a powerful hit that sends him flying across the room and he goes through the wall.]*

**Strong Suit:** *[dizzy]* And stay down!*[shakes his head]*

*[Back to Ace and Chandler, still trying to collect themselves after the previous skirmish. Ace strikes first, he does a jump-spin hook kick and Chandler skids backwards. Ace and Chandler charge at each other and they start punching and kicking each other and blocking each other's attacks. Ace goes in for a roundhouse but Chandler catches his leg and throws him to the floor.]*

**Chandler:** How do you like that?

**Ace Savvy:** Is that all you’ve got?

*[ Ace runs forward and starts throwing some punches that Chandler blocks. When Chandler tries countering, Lincoln grabs his arm and elbows him forward. Irritated, Chandler throws some cards but Ace blocks them with his brace; Ace takes out his grappling hook and fires it at Chandler, but he catches the line, pulls him towards him and close-lines Ace.]*

**Ace Savvy:**Oh, it’s on now! *[charges back at him]*

*[We cut to the Eight of Spades brandishing her shovel and she gets surrounded by thugs who are carrying knives.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Alright, It’s time to duel.

*[Eight of Spades blocks their knife strikes and he hits them with her shovel. One thug charges at her but she blinds him with a smoke bomb. Lucy comes behind him and hits on the back of his head. Eight of Spades dispatches several thugs and then she uses her shovel to disarm their guns. One thug aims his rifle at the Eight, but she flips and slices it in half.]*

**Card Counter:** Well done, spooky sibling unit.

**Eight of Spades:** Thank you.

*[Some bullets across the room and they dodge them. Card Counter throws  five number 10s at five of thugs’ guns. She types in 10 times 5 and it equals 50. Their guns explode.]*

**Card Counter:** *[To Lily]* Lily, it’s your turn!

**Deuce:** Ot it! *[Translation: Got it!]*

*[Deuce throws some diapers at the thugs and they get knocked out. The rest of the gang regroup.]*

**Royal Flush:** Nice job, sis!

*[Lily blushes and giggles. We cut back to Ace and Chandler fighting. Ace goes in for a fresh flurry of punches, which Chandler blocks or evades effortlessly. He backs up steadily across the floor, then leaps out of range. His fist cocked back for a punch to take the red head off its neck, Ace charges in one last time. Chandler dodges the straight punches and clocks him with a powerful uppercut. Ace is sent bouncing across the room; the sisters watch from afar.]*

**High Card:**  Oh no! Lincoln’s in trouble!

**Eleven of Hearts:** We have to help him!

**Strong Suit:** Wait, no, he’s got this, I know it. I believe in him!

*[Ace stands up and rushes at Chandler with several punches, but he dodges and roundhouse kicks him. Chandler pummels him with punches and then some kicks. Ace throws a punch at him but he catches his fist and throws him to the ground. Chandler puts his foot on his neck and he starts gasping for air and tries to get his foot off his neck.]*

**Chandler:** *[smirks]* For a rich kid, you’re really bad at fighting. I bet your mom and dad would be disappointed. Your grandfather and grandmother would be too. Oh, that’s right, your grandmother’s dead!

*[Lincoln’s eyes snap open and becomes angry. He clenches his fists and then Chandler throws a downward punch, but he catches his fist, puts his other hand on his arm and he throws him across the room. Ace gets up, panting and puts his fists up.]*

**Ace Savvy:** You can beat me up and insult me. But no one talks about my grandmother like that!

*[Ace rushes at him and swipes him with his cape twice. He then delivers a barrage of straight punches. He delivers a strong cross and a strong hook then a push-kick. Chandler becomes dazed; in slow motion, Ace runs at Chandler with a battle cry and finally, he leaps and delivers an extremely strong punch. The impact of the punch knocks him out; Ace pants from exhaustion.]*

**Strong Suit:** You did it, bro!

**High Card:** Yeah, Lincoln, you were amazing!

**Eleven of Hearts:** Totes!

**Ace Savvy:** *[smiles]* Thanks, guys.

*[Outside, the police are taking the mob into custody and the Full House Gang are with them. ]*

**Officer Schoffner:** Good work, Full House Gang! You were able to stop an entire crime organization.

**High Card:** It was literally our pleasure.

**Ace Savvy:** And we did it together.*[puts his hands on Lana and Lola’s shoulders. They smile and hug him.]*

**Officer Schoffner:** That’s great. Any who, me and the other police officers get everyone’s stuff back in a jiffy.

**Ace Savvy:** Thanks officer.

*[The Full House Gang leave the steel mill and they drive off in vanzilla.]*

**Lori:** Good work, guys. Mission accomplished.

**Lisa:** Indeed, but I am concerned about one detail.

**Lori:** What?

**Lisa:** Chandler having our knowledge of superhero personas!

*[The rest except Lincoln gasp at this realization.]*

**Lola:** Oh, my gosh! That is a problem! What are we gonna do?!

*[Everyone except start to panic about their situation.]*

**Lincoln:** Guys!

*[Everyone becomes quiet]*

**Lincoln:** It’s okay, there’s nothing to worry about.

**Luna:** What do you mean, bro?

**Lincoln:** I probably hit Chandler so hard, I probably caused him short-term memory loss.

**Lisa:** That sounds plausible.

**Lynn:** Yeah, plus a mobster’s goons tend to be dumb. We also did a number on them.

**Lincoln:** See, so don’t worry guys, we’re gonna be just fine.

*[We cut to the prison and we see Chandler being taken to his cell by a prison. They walk past several cells; we then see Maroney bouncing a ball against the wall, he stops when he sees Chandler.]*

**Maroney:** You failed?! You’re a disappointment, Chandler! You hear me?! A disappointment!

*[They walk past the Mobster 's men’s cell.]*

**Thug:** Hey, boss! I don’t remember Ace Savvy’s name. What’s his name again?

**Chandler:** Uh, Um, I, I don’t know. I can’t remember.

*\*\*\**

*[We cut to the following Friday and we see everyone on the Loud’s yacht. We see the Louds and friends have the time of their lives; they have some pizza and some soda; Rusty is seen dancing with girls, while wearing some fancy clothes. We see the sisters in the pool, Lily is splashing around and Lori and Leni are talking to her friends.]*

**Lori**:And then Carol said “You can’t have that skirt with those slippers”. but then she said…

**Lynn:** Chicken Fight!

*[Lynn is sitting on Margo’s shoulders and tries to push Lana who is on Luna’s shoulders. We see Lola on a floatie who is talking to Roxanne who is also on a floatie.]*

**Lola:** And you’re gonna love the new diamond slippers! It’s made of pure diamond

**Luan:** Hey, guys, what did one ocean say to the other ocean? "'Sea ya later!" *[laughs]* Get it?

*[Everyone groans and we see Lucy floating on her back.]*

**Lucy:** I’m still floating, that means I’m still a witch.

*[We then see Lisa scoop up some water with a vile.]*

**Lisa:** *[puts chemical compounds in the vile]* First some potassium acetate and then some potassium citrate. *[the water in the vile freezes]* There, the freezing compound.

*[Girl Jordan approaches Lincoln who is dancing.]*

**Girl Jordan:** Wow, Lincoln! This is way better than my part!

**Lincoln:** Thanks, Girl Jordan. Hey, you want to get you some punch? It’s passion fruit.

**Girl Jordan:** Sure,I love passion fruit.

*[Lincoln goes to the table and pours himself and Girl Jordan some punch. Lincoln turns back to the audience.]*

**Lincoln** It’s been one heck of a week,but I was able to stop Chandler. I don’t know if he’s gonna come back, but if he does, me and my sisters will be ready. Now if you’ll  excuse me, I’m gonna continue having fun.

*[Lincoln gives Jordan her cup and they drink up. We zoom out and we see everyone else having fun.]*
