## Transcript:

On a Saturday afternoon, Lincoln, Clyde, and Chandler were in the Louds’ living room playing video games.

Chandler: Ya totally crushed me, Lincoln!

Clyde: Yeah! I was so close to winning!

Lincoln: Well, it just takes years of practice!

Chandler: And, saaaay, how’d you get white hair?

Lincoln looked confused.

Lincoln: I dunno… Why?

Chandler: Well, cause you’re the only kid in 6th grade with white hair! Landon may have pointed it out to me yesterday…

Lincoln shuddered.

Lincoln: Landon.

Clyde: Yeah, I wonder why too. I’ve been your best friend for years, Lincoln. And I never knew why you have white hair.

Lincoln: Is it really that important? I guess I was just born with it, or something…

Chandler: I vote or something.

Clyde: Well, if you figure it out, tell us!

Chandler: Yeah! In the meantime, my dad wants me to help clean the sewage plant.

Clyde: And my dads want me to get home to take my daily medications.

Chandler and Clyde left.

Lucy snuck up on Lincoln.

Lincoln: LUCY!

Lucy: Sigh. Mom and dad want to see you in the kitchen.

Lincoln: Oh, very well!

Lincoln went to the kitchen, where Lynn Sr and Rita were cleaning up.

Rita: Do us a hand and help clean up here.

Lynn Sr: The biggest food critic is due to come here. Robert and Riley.

Lincoln raised his eyebrow.

Lincoln: Robert and Riley? You mean Lisa and Leni’s friends?

Lynn Sr: What?! They wanted to see my recipes!

Lincoln: Anyways… I have a question…

Rita: Ask away!

Lincoln: Why do I have white hair?

Rita: Well, you inherited it from Pop-Pop.

Lincoln: I know. But how did Pop-Pop get white hair? Is it some kind of rare gene in the Loud family?

Lynn Sr: We really don’t know, Lincoln.

Lincoln: Oh, but I know who would!

Lincoln went upstairs, where he saw Lisa and David studying.

Lincoln: Lisa! Can I ask you a question?

Lisa looked annoyed.

Lisa: If you want to cheat off our homework, I already told you… This is first grade work.

Lincoln: It isn’t that! Why do I have white hair, while everyone else has either brown or blonde hair with the exception of Lucy?

Just then, Lucy popped up, to Lisa, David, and Lincoln jumping up in fright.

Lucy: It could be one of our ancestors that had white hair. I know I inherited my black hair from Great Grandma Harriet.

David: Yeah. My ancestors, Varian and Cassandra, have a lot in common with me and my family. Our black hair, our superior intellect, and our great problem solving skills. Surely you have an ancestor who has white hair.

Lisa: Hey. That gives me an idea…

Lisa took out her phone and Googled Loud Family Ancestors.

She kept scrolling til she found a young boy with white hair.

Lisa held up her phone to Lincoln.

Lincoln: Wait - Matthew? He had white hair at a young age! This is crazy!

David: And we can totally meet Matthew!

Lincoln: Really?! How?! I have SO much to say to him!

David: Check this out!

David held up a wrist-watch.

Lincoln: Uhhh… looks like just an ordinary wrist-watch to me…

David: Oh, but it’s not! A few years ago, my brother, Greg invented time travel! And we can time travel via this wrist-watch!

Lisa: It’s so cool! We even met Hugh’s ancestor...who turned out to be a total psychopath!

David: Never mention Hugh, Lisa. And never ever mention Zhan Tiri. Okay?

Lisa rolled her eyes.

Lisa: Anywaaaays… We can meet Matthew through David’s wrist-watch.

Lincoln: Great! Let’s go!

David: Oh, but first. Lincoln, you promise you won’t do anything...ANYTHING!...to ruin the past?

Lincoln: Come on, David. You’re speaking to a real professional. In Ace Savvy and the Time Travel Paradox, the epic new comic, Ace Savvy had to time travel to the dark ages to stop a pirate from stealing all of the buried treasure in the bottom of the sea!

Lisa: This is real life. Not your inane comics. Now come on! Don’t ruin it for us!

Lincoln: Okay, okay!

David: Now. Let’s go.

David turned on his wrist-watch and a wormhole appeared.

Lincoln: AWESOME!

The wormhole sucked Lisa, David, and Lincoln in.

~ ~ ~

Lincoln, Lisa, and David landed in Corona in 1521.

They were right near a guard-training class.

Lincoln: WOW! This place is amazing!

A white haired boy and a black haired girl passed Lincoln, Lisa, and David.

Lincoln went up to them.

Lincoln: I think I know who you are!

The boy turned to the girl, who was about to say something.

Boy: Sorry, Lara.

The boy turned to Lincoln.

Boy: And who are you? I’m Matthew.

Lincoln: Oh, I know! You’re my ancestor who gave me this white hair!

Lara: Ancestor, white hair? What is he talking about?

Matthew: Nothing, Lara.

Lisa and David waved Lincoln over.

Lincoln: I’ll be right back…

Lincoln went over to Lisa and David, who were glaring at him.

David: Ya gotta be cool when meeting your ancestors. Like for example, I know that’s my great, great, great grandmother Lara over there. But I already know her enough to not freak out over her…

Lincoln: But HOW do I get to know Matthew?

Lisa: Did you even DO any research about him?

Lincoln: Research?

David: Why sure. Before Greg and I started traveling in time to meet with Varian and Cassandra, we researched about them to know how to approach them...or how not to.

Lisa: But since you clearly didn’t, but I actually did, I can tell you a few things I know about Matthew. He hates strangers, he wouldn’t know anything about video games and comic books as they weren’t invented in 1521 - so don’t ask, and his grandfather...well. They didn’t have anything about him on the History channel. Interesting.

Lincoln: Who cares who his grandfather is? Lisa, I need him to answer my question about my white hair! Did I really inherit it from him?

Lisa: There is no way Matthew would know that.

Lincoln: I don’t care! I’m going to ask him!

Lincoln went toward Matthew, who he caught leaving with Lara.

Lincoln looked disappointed.

Lincoln: Dang it.

Lisa: Come on. I’m sure there’s something we can do here til you get your “interview” with him…

Lincoln: Is there an Ace Savvy convention?

David: No. But there is the castle of Queen Rapunzel and King Eugene!

Lincoln: Eh, what the heck?

Lisa, David, and Lincoln headed towards the castle.

~ ~ ~

A while later, Lincoln noticed Matthew leaving the house near the castle.

He was talking to an old guy who resembled Matthew, his grandfather - Tromus.

Matthew: Yes, grandfather. I did it. I befriended that...Miller girl.

Tromus: Excellent! Now you know what comes next? You remember her weaknesses and use it against her. Meanwhile, I shall summon Zhan Tiri so she can see that Lara’s defeat.

Matthew laughed evilly.

Matthew: Perfect! I’ll do it!

Tromus: That’s my boy!

Lincoln looked shocked and ran off.

Lisa and David caught up to him.

Lincoln: Matthew is EVIL!?

Lisa: Ohhhh...that was the thing that was left out of the History channel…

Lincoln: LISA! You knew?

Lisa: I told you, you should’ve researched him!

Lincoln: Then WHY did you agree to bring me here?! If I can’t even talk to Matthew now. If he’s really a JERK...like Landon!

Lincoln continued to spiral.

David: Calm down. There was something else we wanted to show you…

Lincoln: What?!

David: Follow me…

Lincoln and Lisa both followed David all the way out of Corona.

~ ~ ~

A while later, they reached the House of Yesterday Tomorrow, which was re-built by Tromus as a home for him and Matthew.

Lincoln: And what are we doing here? David, it looks like an old house!

David: I know. I want you to go in.

Lincoln eyed David and went up to the house, and knocked on the door.

Matthew came out.

Matthew: YOU’RE the same boy who bothered me and Lara…

Lincoln: Yeah. About Lara. What are you planning to do to her?!

Matthew: Now, is that any of your business?

Lincoln: What? I can’t learn more about my ancestor? As Lisa says, I’m researching you!

Matthew looked scared, and turned away from the door.

Matthew: Grandfather! There’s some creepy kid hassling me!

Lincoln looked scared as Tromus, Matthew’s grandfather, who he saw earlier came to the door.

Tromus: There seem to be a problem?

Lincoln: N-no! Tromus? Right? I’m assuming. I know I didn’t do any research about my ancestors. You’re probably very mad. And you’re evil, so I should have no business talking to you, but I wanted to know where my white hair came from and my genius sister and her friend took me here to 1521 to-

Lincoln kept rambling on, to Tromus and Matthew looking annoyed.

Tromus: Does he ALWAYS ramble on like this?

Matthew: I have no idea! But I know Zhan Tiri will love to meet this geek!

Tromus: You read my mind! Let’s take him!

Lincoln snapped out of his rambling.

Lincoln: No, wait! Lisa! David! Get help!

Tromus and Matthew flashed out with Lincoln.

Lisa: I knew he should’ve done his research…

David: I know exactly who could help…

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, Lincoln found himself in a cage, in Zhan Tiri’s lair.

Lincoln: Where am I?

Zhan Tiri stepped out.

Zhan Tiri: Matthew, you know I was hoping for that pathetic David or Greg. Who is this?

Matthew: Boy! Tell her your name!

Tromus: TELL HER!

Lincoln looked scared.

Lincoln: Lincoln… Lincoln Loud.

Zhan Tiri: Lincoln. What an odd name. No matter. When I destroy the world, you’ll cease to exist!

Lincoln: What are you - wait a minute. Are YOU the yet undiscovered villain of Ace Savvy vs the Conqueror?

Zhan Tiri: NO! I’m Zhan Tiri! I thought EVERYONE knew me and feared me!

Lincoln: Sorry...what?

Just then, Lisa and David bust into Zhan Tiri’s lair.

Lisa: Unhand Lincoln...or else!

Zhan Tiri: Now who’s this?!

Zhan Tiri noticed David.

Zhan Tiri: YOU!

David: NO! YOU!

Zhan Tiri: I’ve been looking for YOU for ages!

David: Please. I ALWAYS keep running into you. You’re not touching Lincoln, Zhan Tiri. He’s coming home back to 2020 with Lisa and me.

Lisa already picked the lock on the cage and Lincoln went out.

Matthew: Grandfather! These 3 kids are ruining my plan!

Just then, a familiar voice echoed.

Voice: Oh really, Matthew?

Matthew: Lara! Please tell me you didn’t hear everything.

Lara: Oh, I heard it all, and I saw you talking to your grandfather about humiliating me!

Tromus: What are you waiting for, kid? Destroy her! And...that Lincoln!

Matthew flew up and began shooting lightning bolts.

Lincoln looked terrified.

Lincoln: WHAT THE HECK?!

Zhan Tiri: Get Lincoln!

Matthew kept shooting lightning bolts at Lincoln, who kept running away and dodging them.

Lincoln: COME ON! Lisa, David! Help!

Lisa: Matthew! I warned Lincoln not to trust you! Just let him go!

Matthew: Never! I have a mission!

David: Oh really? And consider this! Do you even really WANT to be evil?

Matthew flew back down.

Matthew: Well, I -

Zhan Tiri: It’s a trap!

Tromus: Don’t listen to them!

Matthew: Well.. NOTHING! You all will pay!

Lincoln: For what?! I did NOTHING to you!

Matthew: ...I know. But I think your outfit is horrific!

Lincoln: Oh, that’s it!

Lincoln ran up and tackled Matthew.

The two boys began wrestling.

Zhan Tiri: What is going on?

Tromus: I don’t know.

Lara: I can’t believe it. I gotta go tell Anxelin!

Lara left Zhan Tiri’s lair.

Lisa: This is too much. LINCOLN! If you want to defeat Matthew, use your head!

David: What good will that do?

Lincoln and Matthew kept wrestling, until Matthew pinned Lincoln down.

Matthew’s right hand began glowing.

Matthew: Any last words before I lightning strike your face?

Lincoln: Yes!

Lincoln pushed Matthew off of him.

Lincoln: It’s time to deal out some justice!

Lincoln grabbed an Ace Savvy card from his pocket.

Lincoln: Ace Savvy knows to never let villainy win! So, take this!

Lincoln punched Matthew in the face.

Matthew began crying and went into Tromus’ arms.

Matthew: Grandfather! Do you see what he did to me?

Tromus and Zhan Tiri both started coming towards Lincoln.

Lincoln: Uh-oh. Gotta go!

Lincoln ran out of the lair.

Lisa: We’d better go too…

Lisa and David left.

Zhan Tiri: YOU’LL ALL PAY FOR THIS!!

~ ~ ~

Lisa, David, and Lincoln made it out.

Lisa: Woah, Lincoln. You do not anger our ancestor like that!

Lincoln: LISA! You put me through all this trouble to only find out that Matthew was evil, and…

Lisa looked nervous.

Lincoln: It was AWESOME! Best Saturday ever!

Lisa: See? Now let’s get home before mom and dad start to panic. So, David, will you do the honors?

David turned on his wrist-watch, and a wormhole showed up again and sucked up Lincoln, Lisa, and David.

~ ~ ~

They made it in the Loud home.

Lincoln: Wow! This was the greatest adventure ever!

Lisa: Yeah… Just don’t tell mom and dad…

Rita and Lynn Sr overheard and glared at Lisa, David, and Lincoln.

Rita: Don’t tell mom and dad...what?

David: Well. I’m out. See ya at school, Lisa!

David rushed out the door.

Lincoln: Okay, okay! Lisa and David took me time traveling, met our ancestor, Matthew, who turned out to be evil, and we met this demon and his grandfather, Tromus, and I totally fought Matthew AND WON!! It was the best day ever!

Lynn Sr: Woah. Looks like you’ve been reading too many comics.

Rita: No, Lynn...I think I know Matthew. Pop-Pop’s told me tons of stories about him. So much. I’m writing a novel about him.

Lincoln: But I thought the fearless white haired thrill seeker in your novel was about me!

Rita: Right it is! But Matthew is your rival. Who you epically defeat! I’m so proud of you, Lincoln!

Rita hugged Lincoln.

Lisa: And I guess I’ll be going too.

Rita pulled in Lisa for a hug.

Lucy popped up out of nowhere.

Rita, Lynn Sr, Lincoln, and Lisa jumped up in shock.

Lucy: Sigh.

Lynn Sr: Come over here!

The Loud parents, Lisa, Lincoln, and Lucy joined together for a hug.
