Ace Savvy: Spade of Spells

**This marks my first Lucy-focused story. This gonna be the first story I do where there’s magic involved. This story will be taking some elements from Spell It Out.**

*[We open on Royal Woods in 1932. Cut to a large house, and inside we see a circular library and some kids chain-strapped to the wall, looking horrified. Cut to a small chest with a skull on it. A pair of hands open the chest and take a dagger with a dull metal prong with two curved side prongs and a skull between the side prongs. The person carrying the dagger has black spikey with a white streak. He wears a black coat, brown vest, white shirt, dark brown trousers with black loafers.]*

**The man:** Yes, now that I have the darkest weapon on earth, I’ll finally achieve victory.

*[The man wipes the blade with a cloth and he smiles mischievously. He walks over to the kids who start trembling and sweating. He raises the dagger over his head, preparing to stab one of the kids in the heart.]*

**Little Boy:** Please, don’t do this!

**Little Girl:** We have families!

**The man:**  Sorry, children, ths is the only way.

*[The man brings the dagger down on the little boy, who winces and closes his eyes. Just then, a dark purple energy projectile flies in and knocks the weapon out of the hands.]*

**The man:** What?!

**???:** Malcolm Hex.

*[Malcom Hex turns around and sees the great grandmother of the Loud family, Harriet.]*

**Malcolm Hex:** Harriet.

**Harriet:** I suspected that you captured these children and released monsters, demons and evil spirits on the city. You’ve done it before.

**Malcolm:** And you stopped me before, even when I was so close.

**Harriet:** Of course, I’m not gonna sit around and let you destroy the world.

**Malcolm:** It’s my destiny. It’s become my destiny ever since I found this dagger.

**Harriet:** But why do you want to do this?

**Malcolm:** Because I’ve seen the leaders throughout history, Kings, Presidents, and Emperors, I want to outdo those leaders. Become something bigger, something better, something scarier. I want to be a conqueror, a type of leader that can have everything in the world, a leader that cannot be stopped, and with this dagger, I will become that said leader.

**Harriet:** Not when I’m around you’re not. *[her fists glow purple magic energy]*

**Malcolm:** Ah, you wish to have a Sorcerer’s Duel? *[charges his fists]* Very well, let us dance.

**Harriet:** Wait, but first…*[snaps her finger and the kids disappear]* I sent them back home

**Malcolm:** I’ll get more.

*[The two of them bow before Harriet starts swiftly throwing several energy balls at Malcolm Hex, but he quickly dodges the attack and summons some flaming skulls.]*

**Malcolm:** Flaming Skulls of Hades!

*[Malcolm throws the skulls at Harriet, but she blasts them to pieces. He then dashes towards her, but she immediately starts levitating in the air. He starts levitating too, and he fires several green energy balls at Harriet, but she dodges them. Malcolm forms a green boomerang-shaped energy construct above himself.]*

**Malcolm:** Swift Strike!

*[Malcolm throws the construct at Harriet, but she charges up her hands and uses telekinesis to catch the attack, then she clenches her fists and shatters the construct. Harriet telekinetically grabs Malcolm and throws him against a bookcase. Malcolm gets up and fires an energy blast, but she dodges and flames ignite around her hands.]*

**Harriets:** Flames of Phoenix!

*[Harriet throws some fireballs at Malcolm. As they fly towards him, Malcolm's hands emit blue energy.]*

**Malcolm:** I call upon the Frost of Frost Giants!

*[Malcom discharges several ice balls at Harriet, and they end up in a blast struggle until it ends with both of them blasting two beams and exploding. Malcolm telekinetically summons some knives from the kitchen, the closet, and his bedroom, and fires them at Harriet, but she summons a purple energy bubble and catches all the knives at once. She then moves away from the bubble and snaps her fingers, vaporizing it along with the knives.]*

**Malcolm:** You never cease to suprise me.

*[Harriet forms her hand into a knifehand (or karate chopping hand), and it starts glowing. She throws a knife-like wave of magical energy. Malcolm evades the attack and flies at Harriet, but she flies upward and Malcolm follows suit. Harriet looks down and fires several more blasts, but he dodges them and fires blasts of his own, but Harriet avoids them. They crash through the roof and fly through the sky.]*

**Malcolm:** Time for the Instant Death Spell!

*[Malcolm conjurs a small black ball of dark energy and throws it at Harriet, but she forms a transparent barrier around herself and protects herself from the dark attack. Harriet conjurs a ball composed of fire and wind.]*

**Harriet:** Typhon Strike!

*[Harriet throws the attack at Hex, but he deflects it with his left hand and it comes flying back at Harriet.  She once again uses telekinesis to catch the attack, then she clenches her fists and destroys it. The two of them arrive at the North Valley. Harriet constructs dark purple metallic bands and flings them at Malcolm; they wrap around his wrists and ankles. He starts falling, and he starts skidding through the dirt.]*

**Harriet:** It’s over, Malcolm. It’s time to give up.

**Malcolm:** Never, because I have the definite advantage!

*[Malcom snaps the bands, freeing himself.  He then snaps and the dagger appears in his hands. The dagger begins to glow and Malcolm raises the dagger over his head.]*

**Malcolm:** Come forth monsters!

*[Malcolm blasts a beam in a far distance. Just then, a portal starts forming and monsters come running out of the portal. Some humanoid monsters with two heads with one eye, charge at Harriet.]*

**Harriet:** These are nothing I can’t handle.

*[Harriet throws some energy blasts at the monsters; she grabs one by the neck and uses the Flames of Phoenix to burn the monster to a crisp. Harriet throws the creature aside, and then she telekinetically grabs another monster, lifts the monster, and crushes all the bones in its body. Some Hobgoblins lunge at Harriet, but Harriet pushes them away with her telekinesis. The hobgoblins get back up, but Harriet throws a energy knife at them, cutting them up. Wendigos, human/beast hybrids with antlers, charge at Harriet, but Harriet blasts them with a large magic beam, killing them.]*

**Malcolm:** No!  I’m gonna let you ruin my plan! *[puts the dagger in his pocket]*

*[She rises into the air, arms crossed in front, and blasts a large purple of magic from her hands.Cut to Malcolm and pull back; he sends two huge green beams from his hands toward her. The two energies meet at a point between them and cancel out; it becomes a tug-of-war, with the balance point shifting back and forth between them. Harriet pours more energy into the blast and begins to push back Hex’s beam, sending the former skidding towards the portal. One final groaning effort sends her beam surging into his face; Malcolm goes flying into the portal, and the dagger flies out of his pocket and lands on the ground. The portal closes and Harriet’s hands stop glowing.]*

**Harriet:** It’s over. *[walks over to the dagger and picks it up]* I must hide it somewhere so no one will use it.

*[Harriet floats back in the air and flies off to hide the dagger.]*

 \*\*\*

*[We fast forward to eighty-four later. It's now the evening, and we see a shot of the exterior of the Royal Woods National City Bank. Inside, bank tellers attended to some customers. Suddenly, the door blows open, which causes everyone to panic. Once the smoke from the explosion clears, it reveals a man with a red king robe with a spotted white collar and trim, designed with self-tie straps closure; he wears red and golden with a fish bowl-like shape. It has a golden spear on top and is decorated with circular white pearls, it also has a sword lodged to the side of it; he carries holsters containing swords and holds a crossbow in his hand. This is the Suicide King, named after the card. ]*

**Suicide King:** You’re king has arrive!

*[The employees and customers put their hands. The king walks over to a female bank teller and points his swords into her face.]*

**Suicide King:** Bring me my money!

**Female Bank Teller::** *[meekly]* Y-yes’m.

*[The Bank Teller runs to the bank vault to get the money. The Suicide King chuckles mischievously.]*

**Ace Savvy:** *[offscreen]* Suicide King! *[pan over to him, One-Eyed Jack, and Full Deck.]* Don't you know there's no monarchy in this country?

**One-Eyed Jack:** Looks like you need to study more history.

**Suicide King:** I know my history. I learned that a king can have anyone who opposes him are executed, and this is what I’m going to do to you!

**High Card:** We’ll see about that!

**Ace Savvy:** Fall in!

*[The Full House Gang charges at the King. Suicide King brandishes his sword and lunges at Ace with a series of swings, however Ace blocks the swords with bracelets. The King goes for one more swing, but but High Card hits across the face with her staff and One-Eyed Jack shoots him with some poker chips. High Card then hits him with a spinning hook kick, sending him skidding across the floor.]*

**Night Club:** Time to jam! *[unleashes a loud note on the monster, piercing its ears as the King screams in agony]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Time to *gem*! *[summons her diamond gauntlents]*

*[Queen of Diamonds punches the king across the room and over to Strong Suit.]*

**Strong Suit:** *[Crackles her knuckles]* This punch will *suit* you just fine!

*[Strong Suit uppercuts him in air and then Eleven of Hearts lassos the king with her sash and slams him to the floor.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** *[twirls her sash]* Fashionable and Effective! *[kisses her sash]*

*[Suicide King gets up dazed, but he shakes his head and notices Royal Flush running towards him.]*

**Royal Flush:** Your face looks broken, time for me to fix it! *[pulls out her monkey wrench]*

*[Suicide King and Royal Flush clash with each other. The king 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 king then tries stabbing forward as the Royal Flush blocks his sword from multiple angles before swinging forward, which Royal Flush smacks him in the face. The king stumbles backward and gets peltd by several diapers.]*

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

**Suicide King:** Little Brat! *[brandishes his crossbow and aims it at Deuce]* Time to die!

**Card Counter:** On the contrary! *[pulls out her laser guns and shoots the crossbow out of his hand]*  You will not eliminate my youngest sister

*[Suicide King charges at the Card Counter with his sword, but Joker stands in his way and smacks him with her hammer, sending him forward.]*

**Joker:** Hey, just because we’re beating you, doesn’t mean you have to beat so…*[pulls out watermelon, throws it in air, and smacks it over to Suicide King]* Melon-choly!

*[The melon hits Suicide King in the stomach, sending flying across the room and front desk. The king, now covered in watermelon, gets up and shakes it off. Eight of Spades comes over to him and forms a fighting pose.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Now you’re dealing with me.

**Suicide King:** You? *[chuckles]* I have swords, *[takes out two swords]* you just have a shovel and smoke bombs.

*[Suicide King darts at Eight of Spades and starts swinging his swords at her, but she parries the attacks with her shovel. Suicide King does a double swing, but Eight of Spades blocks the attack. Suicide King does another swing, but Eight of Spades evades.]*

**Eight of Spade:** Let’s see how you do when you’re blind as a bat!

*[Eight of Spades throws a smoke bomb, engulfing the king in a large cloud of smoke. The king coughs as he looks around the smoke.]*

**Suicide King:** Where are you?

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

**Suicide King:** AAH! *[drops his swords]*

*[Eight of Spade starts hitting him with her shovel. Suicide King pulls the sword out of his crown and rushes at Eight of Spades, but she blocks his strikes and then she delivers a strong swing that knocks him to the floor. Finally, the smoke clears and the other members gather around them.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Good, job, Spades!

**Eight of Spades:** Thanks.

*[One-Eyed Jack takes out the Ace-handcuffs and attaches them to the Suicide King.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** Well King, looks like you’ve been dethroned.

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

**Ace Savvy:** Thank you, thank you kindley! Now, if you'll excuse us, we’re needed elsewhere.

*[The gang gets into Vanzilla, and they drive off. They then arrive at Auntie Pam's Parlor. The next scene shows the team sitting at a table, eating ice cream.]*

**Ace Savvy:** I see you got their new Blackberry flavor.

**Eight of Spades:** Yeah, they actually dyed it black so it can look and taste like the berry.

*[The team continues eating their ice cream as Lucy looks at her shovel and smoke bombs and she thinks to herself.]*

**Eight of Spades:**  Hey guys, I’ve been thinking.

**High Card:** About what?

**Eight of Spades:** About our superhero life, and I noticed some things. The only ones with true superpowers are Lynn and Lola. Lynn has super strength and durability, and Lola has diamond construction. Sure we've all been gifted superhuman agility, but we don't feel any different while Lynn and Lola felt different when they got their powers.

**Ace Savvy:** Wait, Lucy, is this after Suicide King insulted your shovel and smoke bombs?

**Eight of Spades:** No. Well, short of. Not to say I’m not grateful to have these weapons, I really am, but I want to have superpowers and weapons at the same time.

**Ace Savvy:** Well, if there’s anyone who can give it to you, it’s Lisa.

**Card Counter:** Indeed, what particular abilities would you like to acquire?

**One-Eyed Jack:** You could get invisibility, you are a very sneaky girl.

**High Card:** You could get Telekinesis.

**Royal Flush:** Or heat vision.

**Queen of Diamonds:** Or telepathy.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Or that ability to predict or the action of predicting what will happen or be needed in the future. What’s it called, threesight?

**Card Counter:** It’s called Foresight, Leni.

**Eight of Spades:** Well, I like the first one, but I was thinking of some a little more...mystical. Like, casting spells and hexes, turning myself and things intangible, and summoning the powers of ancient beasts.

*[Everyone else gives her bemused and exchanges looks to each other.]*

**Card Counter:** Lucy, those abilities are beyond my scientific capabilities. Well, except for making yourself intangible, but making the ability to make objects intangible and those other abilities are scientifically impossible.

**Eight of Spades:** You gave Lola diamond construction.

**Card Counter:** Yes, by using an enhanced serum and nanites, microscopic machines that can manipulate matter either on an atomic, molecular, or supramolecular scale.

**Ace Savvy:** Sorry, Luce, but you can be a superhero with or without actual superpowers.

**Eight of Spades:***[sulks]* Yeah, I guess. *[licks her ice cream]*

*\*\*\**

*[The next scene opens in the Royal Woods Mueseum. The tour guide leads to another exhibit,]*

**Tour Guide:** These are the recently discovered treasures. Several archaeologists have discovered the world’s most mysterious artifacts.

*[The group goes over to a black staff with a black hook, and the pommel, the joint between the hook and the staff, and the hook itself are adorned with several gems.]*

**Tour Guide:** Like this cane, one archaeologist found this in a cavern in New Zealand. *[they walk over to a set of 10 multi-colored rings.]* One archaeologist found these 10 rings in china.

*[The group then walks over to the dagger from 1932.]*

**Tour Guide:** One achaeologist found this dagger in the ocean between Michigan and Canda. It’s said that the dagger was glowing. Now let’s move on.

*[The group moves to another exhibit. However, a mysterious man with a suit and a fedora doesn’t follow them. He instead eyes at the dagger and reaches for it. The  group turns to see the man going for the dagger.].*

**Tour Guide:** Uh, sir, no one should be touching the exhibit.

**The man:** Yes, after all these years.

*[The man grabs the dagger and holds it up.]*

**Tour Guide:** That’s it, security!

*[Secuirty Guards come rushing into the exhibit as the man continues staring at the dagger.]*

**Security # 1:** Freeze, drop the dagger!

**Security # 2:** Don’t make us force you!

*[The man turns around and extends his arm, opens his palm and turns his hand up at a 90 degree angle. The security try to move, but they remain stunned in place by a green aura. The man raises his arm upward, controlling and pulling the guards high in the air.]*

**Security # 1:** Whoa! Hey! What's happening?!

**Security # 2:** What’s he doing ?

*[Cut to the man’s face as he evily smiles and chuckles. He then clenches his fist and in the blink of an eye, the two guards explode, leaving nothing but dust. The tour group stared in absolute shock and horror at what they just witnessed.]*

**Tourist:** *[firghten]* Uh, what’s next?

**Tour Guide:** What’s next is to run for our lives!

*[The group runs in terror as the man cackles to himself while holding the dagger. The man throws off his hat, revealing the man to be Malcolm Hex.]*

**Malcolm:**Soon, the world will be mine, mine, mine! *[continues laughing as the dagger starts glowing and electricity]*

   \*\*\*

*[We cut to Lynn and Lucy’s room. Lucy is on her bed, reading her book with Fangs, but she then closes her book.]*

**Lucy:** Sigh. Oh, Fangs, I like my shovel, smoke bombs and superhuman agility. But I don’t feel they’re enough to make me feel super anymore. Anybody can use a weapon, and my agility is just the same but enhanced. I want to feel mystical and powerful. *[gets off her bed]* I mean, Lynn can use a bat and her superstrength, I want to be able to use my shovel and cast spells.

*[Lucy leaves her room and goes down to the second floor. She arrives at the library.]*

**Lucy:** This library has been around for a long time. Surely, it contains some Ancient Scrolls or Spell Book.

*[Lucy gets on the ladder and looks through the shelf.]*

**Lucy:** Let’s see,Spelling Book, Mary’s Magic Spells, Spartan Spells. *[sees a book and smiles a little bit]* Yes,there’s one. *[pulls out the book and reads the title]* “The Most Powerful Spells…*[frowns]* of Making The Most Perfect Dishes. Scoff. Metaphors. *[throws the book down to the floor.]*

*[Lucy starts climbing down and jumps off the ladder.]*

**Lucy:** Sigh. I guess I’ll always remain an only slightly powerless hero. *[turns to the viewers]* I only say slightly, because I still have superhuman agility.

*[Suddenly, unseen force blows by Lucy’s hair, nearly revealing her eyes, but she quickly puts her bangs back into place.]*

**Lucy:** What was that?

*[She leaves the library and sees a trail of sparkling powder on the floor.]*

**Lucy:** Huh, who did this? Lola?

*[Lucy follows the trail and it continues upstairs. Once she makes it upstairs, she finds the attic open with powder on the attic’s ladder.]*

**Lucy:** It couldn’t’ve been Lola. She barely goes up to the attic. Weird.

*[Lucy goes up to the attic and finds the powder trail ending at a trunk. Just then, the attic closes by itself.]*

**Lucy:** Oh, look. This trunk belonged to Great Grandma Harriet. She was a pretty cool lady. *[holds up a photo of Harriet]* Nice. *[takes out a crystal ball and skulls and notices a secret compartment.]* Ooh. What's this? *[opens it and finds a book, picks it up, and blows the dust off.]* “Ancient Book of Spells.” Whoa. Wait, why is this book in the attic instead of the library?  You know what, it doesn’t matter. Let’s see what’s inside.

*[Pull back as she opens the book, and the book's pages flip madly and glowing, and Lucy gasps in sudden shock. When the pages stop turning, the radiance retreats back toward them. Just then, a large stream of lights rises out of the book and lands on the floor. The light begins to take the shape of a familiar character. Cut to Lucy looking from behind her bangs.]*

**Lucy:** Gasp. I can’t believe my eyes.

*[Cut to a shot of feet as pan up to see it’s the spirit of Great Grandma Harriet. She grows a small smile. Lucy is left flabbergasted.]*

**Lucy:** It’s you. Great Grandma Harriet.

**Harriet:** Yes. Well done, my child. You have found the book.

*[Harriet start leviating and starts circling around Lucy.]*

**Harriet:** Long has it been since I enchanted this book. Long has it been since the day of my passing. But now, fate has smiled upon me as my Great Grandchild wields the Anicent Book of Spells.

**Lucy:** Wicked.

*[We cut to the hallway as the siblings came out of their rooms and Clyde came up from the second floor.]*

**Lori:** Okay, guys, it’s time for a meeting.

**Luan:** Where’s Lucy? We can’t start it without her.

**Lincoln:** I’ll check the attic, she’s like to go up there.

*[Lincoln jumps up, grabs the latch, and opens the attic. Lincoln goes inside.]*

**Lincoln:** Lucy, it’s for the meetin-*[gasps]* Guys? You might see this.

*[The others come up and gasp.]*

**Harriet:** Ah, there are my other lovely grandchildren and...boy I’ve never seen before.

**Clyde:** I’m Clyde McBride.

**Harriet:** Nice to meet you.

**Lincoln:** You’re Great Grandma Harriet. Lucy’s been talking about you.

**Harriet:** Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s good that you’re all here, because this is important.

**Lori:** What’s so important that you need all of us.

**Lynn:** And what 'cha got there, Luce?

**Lucy:** It’s an Ancient Book of Spells. It’s actually real.

**Lisa:** That's preposterous.We all know that sorcery isn’t possible.

**Harriet:** On the contrary.

**Lisa:** Huh?

**Harriet:** I have used the spells in this book before.

**Lucy:** I’ve always believed that there were sorcerers and sorceresses. Now, what do you have to tell us?

**Harriet:** There is a threat coming, one that I predicted would soon come but didn’t expect it would arrive in eighty-four years.

**Lincoln:** What or who is it?

**Harriet:** Malcolm Hex.

**The siblings except Leni:** Malcolm Hex?!

**Leni:** Isn’t he that African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist?

**Lisa:** That’s Malcolm X, Leni.

**Leni:** Oh.

**Lucy:** Who is Malcolm Hex, Great Grandma?

**Harriet:** He’s a sorcerer, just like how I’m a sorceress. However, he is more sinister and menacing. He had an idea that this world needs a more powerful ruler. He decided to become said ruler or, in his words, a conqueror.

**Lana:** But why?

**Harriet:** He said it’s his destiny.

**Lincoln:** But how will he achieve his goal?

**Harriet:** By the power of the Demon Dagger.

**Lori:** Demon Dagger?

**Lisa:** What in the Multiverse is that?

**Lucy:** *[turns the pages]*  This is it. *[shows the picture of the Demon Dagger]*

**Lola:** Okay, but where did it come from?

**Harriet:** It’s a long story.

**Lucy:** We have time.

**Lincoln:** Plus, it could be important.

**Harriet:** Okay, it goes like this…

*[We transition to some shadow puppetry acting out Harriet’s story as she narrates]*

**Harriet:** Centuries ago, this world was plagued with monsters, demons, and evil spirits. Some didn’t know how to stop the things that went bump in the night, but there were some that did. Rangers, Knights, Druids, Bards, Warriors, and Sorcerers and Sorceresses. They protect many places across the world and manage to eliminate any monster that comes their way. But then, it was discovered that a group of evil warlocks are the ones causing monsters to cross over from the Dark World, one of the most terrifying dimensions throughout the Multiverse.

The warlocks were resistant, they wouldn’t let their plans be in vain, so they unleashed thousands of demons from the Dark World, starting a large war. Many brave heroes came together and fought valiantly. However, alot of lives were lost, villages were devastated, and hope was lost.

Then, one day as another battle started,12 heroes stood together and used all strengths to repel the warlock. But, one warlock was able to put 11 of the heroes out of commission, but one sorcerer stood against the remaining warlock and defeated her. The sorcerer then casts incantation to seal all the monsters, demons, and evil spirits in the Dark World. The war ended and peace returned.

However, one warlock forged a dagger to re-released the creatures, she called it the Demon Dagger. However, the dagger would only unleashe the monsters in one place in the world. To have them march on the whole world, the wielder must sacrifice children. The reason for this is because evil spirits and demons have chosen children as the most prominent vessels for possession.

Once the children are sacrificed, the blood of the children will charge the dagger, releasing a large portal and all of the creatures from the Dark World sprawl across the earth and kill other living beings on earth, leaving the only mortal wielding the dagger to become the Dark King.

*[As Harriet’s exposition concludes, we see the children are left speechless at her story.]*

**Lincoln:** So you’re saying if Malcolm uses his dagger to sacrifice kids…

**Clyde:** The whole world will come to an end?

**Harriet:** Afraid so, my child.

**Lincoln:** Then we can’t let him get away with this, we need to stop him, no matter what it takes!

**Clyde:** Yeah, to the Ace-Cave!

*[The siblings begin to leave the attic.]*

**Harriet:** Wait, as much I appreciate your determination, it won’t be easy.

**Leni:** What do you mean?

**Harriet:** He’s gonna send an army of monsters, demons, and evil spirits. They’re very powerful, so I’m afraid your weapons won’t be enough. Well, excpet Lola’s weapons.

**Lola:** Well, I don’t want to brag, but I do have some pretty powerful weapons.

**Harriet:** That is why I enchanted this book. I was much too old at the time of enchantment, so I hoped that someone in the family would gain the powers from the book, and it is you, Lucy.

*[Lucy forms a smile.]*

**Lincoln:** Hmmm, maybe *we* can have weapons back in medival times. Like swords, shields, axes, bow and arrows, and other medival weaponry. What would you like, Lucy?

**Harriet:** Actually, she won’t be going into battle just using weapons. She’ll be learning the ways of a sorcereress.

**Lucy:** Really?

**Harriet:** That is what you need to defeat Malcolm Hex.

**Lincoln:** Alright, we’ll meet up in the Ace-Cave tomorrow.

*[The kids exit the attic, leaving Lucy with Harriet’s spirit. Lucy sits down, crosses her legs, and picks up the book.]*

**Lucy:** Okay, Great Grandma, let’s get started.

**Harriet:** Okay, turn to page 1.

**Lucy:** Alright. *[turns the pages and then stops]* I found it.

**Harriet:** This is the page where you say the words that will enchant with Gray Magic.

**Lucy:** Gray Magic?

**Harriet:**It’s different from Dark Magic. You can use it either for good or evil. It’s like an Anti Hero doing things for good and doing things for bad.

**Lucy:** That makes sense.

**Harriet:** Now say the words and you’ll have access to the other spells.

**Lucy:** Okay.

*[Lucy reads the words and puts the book on the floor.]*

**Lucy:** *[clears her throat and gestures]* Necronam Nezberek Mortax!

*[Beat]*

**Lucy:** Nothing’s happening.

**Harriet:** Just wait for it.

*[After a few seconds, Lucy’s hands glow light purple, and she looks down on them and becomes amazed. Then a dark purple aura envelops her hands.]*

**Lucy:** I feel it, I actually feel it. I feel the magic coursing my veins! Thank you, Great Grandma Harriet. You have given me the gift of sorcery.

**Harriet:** It was my pleasure. Now, I’ll let you study the spells on your own, but it will  tell you this. Some spells will rhyme and some won’t. Some spells will be written in english, and some will be written in the same ancient dialect as the enchantment.

**Lucy:** Okay. It was nice meeting you, Great Grandma.

**Harriet:** It was nice meeting you too. Good Luck, Lucy. The fate of the world rests on you and your friend’s shoulders. *[fades away]*

**Lucy:** Don’t worry, Great Grandma Harriet. We won’t let you or the rest of the world down.

*[Lucy gets up and turns the page.]*

**Lucy:** By Odin’s beard and Heaven’s gate/Allow myself to levitate!

*[Lucy begins floating in the air. She moves back and forth.]*

**Lucy:** Okay, this will be fun.

*[The next scene is a montage of Lucy trying out different spells.Lucy turns the pages.]*

**Lucy:** Nezberek Helilex Nex.

*[Lucy looks over to the skulls, and extends his arm, opens his palm, and turns his hand up. The skulls glow and start levitating. Lucy twirls her fingers in a circle, causing the skull to go in a circle.]*

**Lucy:** Telekinesis, wicked. I don’t even need Lisa to give this ability.

*[Lucy starts turning the pages again. She stumbles upon another spell.]*

**Lucy:** Azarith Netrius Mortix!

*[Lucy extends her arm, closes her hand, and fires a purple blast at the wall.]*

**Lucy:** Energy Projection. Cool.

*[Lucy levitates a piece of wood and throws an energy knife, cutting it in half. An hour later, she turns the pages again]*

**Lucy:** Wing of bat, and rabbit’s ear/Allow myself to disappear!

*[In a puff of smoke, Lucy turns transparents.]*

**Lucy:** An invisibility spell. Nice.

  \*\*\*

*[We cut to the next day in the Ace Cave. The rest of the kids wore their uniforms and carried weapons of their choice.]*

*\*Ace Savvy had a sword with a dull metal prong with two curved sideprongs, and  the Ace Symbol between the sideprongs. He had a shield in his other hand.*

*\*One-Eyed Jack had a sword with a dull metal prong with two curved sideprongs, and a heart between the sideprongs. He also wields a shield.*

*\*High Card has a spear strapped to her back. She carried spiked dice bolas and a knife.*

*\*Eleven of Hearts had her sash, curved daggers, and heart bombs.*

*\*Night Club had her guitar strapped to her back, a sickle in one hand and a small spiked axe in the other hand.*

*\*Joker had two of her regular crime fighting weapons like her hammer and a joybuzzer; However, she had some medival weapons like a sickle and a knife.*

*\*Queen of Diamonds had a Diamond Mace strapped to her back. She also has a diamond knife in a holster.*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, guys, everyone has their weapons ready, right?

**Royal Flush:** Yep~! I can’t believe we were able to get these weapons in a few hours.

**Strong Suit:** That’s the perks of being rich.

*[Card Counter goes onto the Ace-Computer and pulls up a map. Five big red circles pop on the screen.]*

**Card Counter:** The computer has detected five portal openings.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Where’s Lucy? She should be here by now.

**Lucy’s voice:** Don’t worry, I’m already here.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Where are you?

*[Lucy appears in her Eight of Spades uniform and her shovel in her hands.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Right here.

*[The others jump in terror.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** How did you get here so fast?

**Eight of Spades:** I’ve been here for most of the morning. I wanted to surprise you with my invisibility spell.

**One-Eyed Jack:** What other spells did you learn?

**Eight of Spades:** I’ll show you on the way.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, can I get your attention please?

*[Everyone turns their attention to Lincoln.]*

**Ace Savvy:** I know we don’t kill, but since we’re dealing with monsters, we have no choice. But this doesn’t change our moral code, we still won’t kill anyone that isn't a monster. Agreed?

**The others:** Agreed.

**Ace Savvy:** Good, it’s monster hunting time!

*[The kids pile into vanzilla and drive off. The next scene shows them arriving at their first destination:Ketcham Park. ]*

**Ace Savvy:** Here’s the first place with the first portal sighting.

*[The gang gets out of the van and heads into the park. They carefully scan for any signs of monsters or demons.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, there could be anything here. So keep your guards up.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Okay, we will. We’ll also remain focused and-*[sees a large garden]* Oh, look~! They made a new flower garden!

*[Eleven of Hearts dashes over to the garden.]*

**High Card:** Leni, wait! It could be a trap!

**Eleven of Hearts:** How could it be a trap? They’re just flowers.

*[Eleven of Hearts reaches to grab a flower, but then it forms a white lip mouth with sharp teeth.  Tiny spots pop on its head, creating a creature called a Plant Snapper. The Planter Snapper bites Leni’s hand.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** YOW! *[runs back to the group]*

**High Card:** I told you it was a trap.

**Strong Suit:***[exasperated]* That’s really helping our situation.

**Eight of Spades:** Demons must’ve possessed the flowers.

**Queen of Diamonds:** But why?

**Eight of Spades:** They’re Demons. They possessed anyone and anything.

**Ace Savvy:** Guys, look!

*[The other flowers go through the same transformation process and become Plant Snappers as well.They then get out of the dirt and grow small stubby legs. They roar at the gang, but they take defensive stances.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** Man, they remind of those enemies from that video game where two plumbers who have to save the princess.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay guys, attack!

*[The gang raise a battle cry and rush at the hoard of Plant Snappers. Ace Savvy slashes several Planter Snappers’ heads. One-Eyed Jack strikes some snappers with his swords. High Card stabs a few with her spear and cuts some with her knife. Eleven of Hearts slices them with her daggers. Night Club sound blasts some snappers, Joker bashes some snappers with her hammer, and Strong Suit shoots some arrows at some snappers.]*

**Strong Suit:** Good thing I took an archery class last year!

*[Royal Flush smashes some snappers with her war hammer, and Queen of Diamonds slashes some with her diamond knife. Deuce throws some diapers at snappers, and Card Counter throws some explosive chemicals at some snappers. Some snappers surrond Eight of Spades.]*

**Eight of Spades:** *[in her head]* Now I can show how I can fight with powers and weapons.

*[Eight of Spades digs some holes in the ground. She uses her mind to trap in an aura, she then moves them in the holes, puts dirt in the hole they’re in, and uses her telekinesis to keep them from getting out.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Lincoln, Clyde! I gave you two openings.

**Ace Savvy:** Alright! Ready, buddy?

**One-Eyed Jack:** You know it, pal!

*[Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack charge at the Plant Snapper, and slices them all at once.]*

**Ace Savvy** Okay, that’s all the plants.

**Royal Flush:** Good thing there’s nothing else here.

*[They hear some roars and some creatures jump out of trees and bushes. The creatures reveal themselves to be Trolls.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** *[smugly]* You just had to say it, didn't you?

**Ace Savvy:** Looks like we’re dealing with trolls, charge!

*[Ace and Jack stab some trolls and smacks some with their shields; Strong Suit hits them with her club, and Queen of Diamonds smash them with her diamond mace; High Card starts hitting a troll with her bolas and stabs one with her spear. Eleven of Hearts throws some heart bombs, Card Counter throws some electricity numbers at some trolls, Deuce throws some diapers at some trolls, and Night Club sound blasts some trolls. Joker smashes and stabs some trolls with her hammer and knife.]*

**Joker:** *[while fighting]* That was smashing! I’m a real *cut* above the rest! *[laughs]*

*[Eight of Spades telekinetically holds the trolls and cuts them all down with an energy knife. Some more trolls come charging at her, but she energy pushes them away from her. Eight of Spades then telekinetically grabs a troll’s throat, and chokes to death.]*

**Strong Suit:** *[amazed]* Wow, Luce! That was more brutal than what we did!

**Eight of Spades:** Thanks. If I was gonna kill, I would do it very brutally.

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, guys, that’s all the creatures in this area. Let’s go!

**Night Club:** Right, bro!

*[The gang gets in vanzilla and drives off.]*

**Eight of Spade:** *[in her head]* I can't really believe how well this is turning out for me today. I actually feel like Superhero.

                                                        \*\*\*

*[We cut to the gang arriving at their second destination:Tall Timbers Park. Cut to several flat-nosed, pointy-eared, and sharpened teeth creatures, eating random objects in the park. Such as: leaves, tree bark, rocks, and grass. One creature sinks his arm in the pond, and grabs the Fishmans. It opens its mouth and dangles them over it. ]*

**Royal Flush:***[offscreen]* Hey! Leave those fish alone!

*[The creatures look over to the Full House Gang. The one by the pond, drops the Fishmans back in the water.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Looks like we’re dealing with Orcs.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Aren’t these the same as the trolls?

**Ace Savvy:** No, they’re much stronger than Trolls.

*[The orcs brandish some axes, spiked hammers, and clubs.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** And they have more weapons.

**High Card:** Where’d they even get those?

**Eight of Spades:** Probably from the Dark World.

**Strong Suit:** Well, let’s get them!

*[The gang charges at the orcs. Just then, Eight of Spades starts flying through the air. The gang gets caught off guard.]*

**Strong Suit:** Lucy, how are you flying?

**Eight of Spades:** Levitation Spell.

*[The gang turn their focus back on the orcs, and they attack. Ace Savvy slashes some orcs, and One-Eyed Jack stabs an orc in the leg and kicks him in the face. An orc tries hitting Ace with its club, but he blocks the attack and smacks in the face with the shield. Ace then disarms it of its club by knocking it out of its hand with his sword, and he then stabs the orc in the head, killing instantly. Cut to High Card blocking some orcs’ hammer attacks with her spear, she then hits them both with her bolas. She twirls her spear and impales more orcs. She then sees Deuce and Card Counter fighting some orcs, but then one of them grabs Deuce. ]*

**Card Counter:** Lily!

*[Lily screams as the orc is about to eat her. High Card, seeing this, gasps. She turns over to Eleven of Hearts who is fighting some orcs with her sash. Eleven of Hearts lassos one orc’s head, pulls the orc over to her, and stabs it in the stomach with her dagger. ]*

**High Card:** Leni, throw me!

**Eleven of Hearts:** What?

**High Card:** Use your sash!

**Eleven of Hearts:** I don’t want to hurt you.

**High Card:** You couldn’t if you tried.

**Eleven of Hearts:** *[cautiously]* Okay.

*[Eleven of Hearts twirls her sash and throws it. The sash wraps around the High Card’s waist and tightens. Eleven of Hearts starts swinging High Card in a circle, and then she finally throws her over to where the orc has Lily. High Card reaches out her knife and pierces the side of the Orc’s head, causing him to get knocked to the ground and to drop Lily. High Card stabs it one more time in the head.]*

**High Card:** Alright, Lily, you’re safe now.

*[Lily smiles. Cut to Lynn hitting some orcs with her club and shield, then she fires an arrow at three orcs, and it goes through each of their heads. More Orcs come, but the Eight of Spades come down and throws some energy balls at some orcs.]*

**Strong Suit:** Nice move, Luce!

**Eight of Spades:** Thanks, but that’s all I can do.

*[One orc picks up a tree, and another orc picks up a rock and aims them at Strong Suit and Eight of Spades.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Gall of goat, slips of yew/Turn clumsy fingers into glue!

*[The orcs start spinning around and try the objects, but due to their hands being them, they end up throwing themselves along with them. Once they land on the ground, the rock and tree crush them both. ]*

**Joker:** Gee, that's what I call a sticky situation! *[Laughs]* Get it?

*[More orcs come roaring at them, but Eight of Spades hits some of them with a telekinetic push. She then holds one orc up and clenches her fist, breaking all the bone in its body. Joker and Strong Suit look at her surprised.]*

**Strong Suit:** Wow, that was more brutal than last time.

**Joker:** Looks like that orc got his break! *[laughs]*

*[Strong Suit and Eight of Spades groan. Cut to Night Club sound blasting several orcs and cutting some with her spiked axe.]*

**Night Club:** How do you like me now?!

**Eleven of Hearts:** I don’t think they like you at all.

**Night Club:** *[facepalms]* It was rhetorical, Leni.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Oh.

*[Cut to Royal Flush and Queen of Diamonds fighting some orcs. Royal Flush bashes some orcs with her hammer, and slashes other orcs with her axe. Queen of Diamonds uses her mace and knife to break their clubs, hammers, and axes.]*

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

**Queen of Diamonds:** Why, thank-*[gets tackled by an orc]* AAH!

*[Queen of Diamonds holds one of the orc’s arms while it tries clawing her face, but she does dodge the strikes.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Get off me!

*[She grabs her knife and slits the orc’s throat, causing green blood to splatter onto her face.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Ew~! Gross~!

*[The orc gets off her and holds its throat as it continues bleeding. Finally, the orc drops dead on the ground. The one big orc comes at the gang with a hammer and an axe. The gang gasps.]*

**Eight of Spades:** *[hands glow]* Necronam Enviex Lorix! *[slams her hands on the ground]*

*[Several magic bands go through the dirt, and they burst out of the ground and wrap around the orc’s wrists and ankles.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Okay, Lincoln, finish him.

**Ace Savvy:** With pleasure!

*[Ace Savvy runs over to the orc, then he leaps in the air, and comes back down to stab in the chest, killing him in the process. Ace removes the sword from the orc’s chest and regroups with the rest of the group.]*

**Ace Savvy:** We did it guys, we saved Tall Timbers Park.

**Royal Flush:** And the Fishmans.

**Ace Savvy:** Yeah,and the Fishamans. Now let’s go to the next area.

*[The gang leaves the park, gets in vanzilla, and drives off. While they go to the next location, Lucy starts meditating and floating. Lincoln looks at her with a confused look,]*

**Ace Savvy:** *[To Lynn]* Have you seen Lucy meditate in the car before?

**Strong Suit:** I think she would’ve told me if I did.

**Ace Savvy:** Good point.

                                                          \*\*\*

*[We cut to the gang arriving at their third destination:Scratchy Bottom Campground. The gang gets out of the van.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:**  Of course there’d be monsters here, this place is the worst.

**Eight of Spades:** Monsters and Demons have a tendency to pick the worst places on earth, and this one of them.

**Ace Savvy:** Well, just because we don’t lke this, doesn’t mean it has to be ruined for anyone else that does.

**Queen of Diamond:** Are you sure, because…

**Ace Savvy:** Lola~!

**Queen of Diamonds:** *[groans]* Fine.

*[The Full House Gang enters the campground and searches for monsters. While they were walking, they scanned the area around them.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, guys, don’t let your guards. A monster could strike before we least expect it.

*[They then hear a rustling noise, they turn around and see that it’s coming from a bush.]*

**Ace Savvy:** *[gasp]* It’s a monster!

**Strong Suit:** I got it!

*[Strong Suit fires an arrow at the bush, but then a squirrel comes out of it, unscathed.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Oh it’s just a squirrel. False alarm.

*[They then hear a rustling noise, they look up and see that it’s coming from a tree.]*

**Royal Flush:** *[gasp]* It’s a monster!

**Queen of Diamond:** I got it!

*[Queen of Diamonds throws another diamond knife in the bush, but then a bird flies out of the tree as quickly as possible.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Oh it’s just a birdl. Another false Alarm.

**High Card:** I guess there’s no monsters in this part of the campground.

**Royal Flush:** Yeah, we’ll go into the woods to look for monsters.

**One-Eyed Jack:** Good idea, Lana, let’s go.

*[The gang goes towards the woods, but then some more rustling and then some transparent figures come bursting out of the bushes and trees, and into the air. They are revealed to be monsters with chameleon-like appearances. These shall be called Reptillies. The gang turns around. Look up, and see the Reptillies.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** There really are monsters in this part!

*[The reptillies brandish some crossbows and fire several arrows at the Full House Gang.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Arrows!

**Eight of Spades:** Gray Cinder and Black Basalt/Bring all time to a hault!

*[A negative-color flash emanates from Eight of Spades’ body, and then it represses while everything around her turns slightly darker and freezes.]*

**Eights of Spades:** I have only 5 seconds. *[her hands glow]*

*[Eight of Spades starts levitating in the air, and starts karate chopping some arrows. She also moves the arrows in different directions.]*

**Eight of Spades:**4 seconds.

*[Eight of Spades breaks some more arrows with her hands, and throws some energy knives at some of the arrows.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Only 3 seconds remain.

*[Eight of Spades uses her telekinesis to redirect some of the arrows back at the reptillies.]*

**Eight of Spades:** I’m down to 2 seconds. I just need one more arrow.

*[Eight of Spades looks to see that one of the arrows is near Leni’s neck.]*

**Eight of Spade:** Gasp. Oh no, I only have 1 second left.

*[Eight of Spades lands back down and knocks the arrow away from Leni.]*

**Eight of Spade:** Okay...0.

*[Time unfreezes, and all the broken arrows fall, and the unbroken ones hit the ground, and the reptillies get hit by the arrows. They all fall down and lie dead. The rest of the gang looks at the area around and becomes confused.]*

**Ace Savvy:** What happened?

**One-Eyed Jack:** A minute ago, we were about to get hit by arrows.

**Eight of Spades:** Oh, I stopped time for five seconds.

**High Card:** Wait, you stopped time?

**Eight of Spades:** Yes. It’s one of the spells.

**Strong Suit:** *[rubbing her temples]* Okay, first you can turn yourself invisible, then you can use telekinesis, shoot and construct energy blasts and objects, fly, have things stuck to peoples’ hands, and now you can stop time? I’m sorry, Lucy, it was impressive at first, but now it’s just OP, overpowered.

**Eight of Spades:** Having a few abilities is overpowered, is that what you're saying?

**Strong Suit:** Well, no, having a few abilities isn’t overpowered, but only if they’re at a small or medium scale. I mean, what other abilities do you have?

**Eight of Spades:** Well, I have this ability. Flames of Phoenix! *[flames ignite on her hands and exstinguishes them]* I also I have this. Typhon Strike! *[conjurs a ball composed of fire and wind, and then she deactivates the attack.]* I have a duplication spell that  can multiply myself and objects, a protection spell, a bansihing incantation,a Morphing spell, overshadowing, being able to possess someone, astral projections, and-

**Strong Suit:** See?! No other superhero has that many abilities!

**Eight of Spades:** You know what? I know exactly what's going on here. You're jealous.

*[Strong Suit becomes appalled by Eight of Spades’ statement while the others gasp.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Uhhh, why don’t we move?

**Strong Suit:** Jealous?!

*[The gang goes into the forest while Lynn and Lucy continue arguing with each other.]*

**Strong Suit:** What would I be jealous of?

**Eight of Spade:** Of me. I have multiple powers now while you just have two like Super Strength and Superhuman Agility that’s why you’re saying I’m overpowered. It’s obvious, you always had a massive ego. You never liked people stealing your thunder.

**Strong Suit:** Lucy, that is the…stupidest thing I've ever heard! I've done nothing but support you ever since you wanted mystic powers and our Great Grandma gave these powers.

**Eight of Spades:** It doesn’t sound like you're supporting me now by saying I’m “overpowered”.

**Strong Suit:** I’m just saying that there’s having four or five powers, but then there’s having…*[counts her fingers and counts different numbers]* twelve.

**Eight of Spades:** Actually, I have more than that, you didn’t let me finish.

**Strong Suit:** Whatever that is, it’s likely too much power for one person to have.

**Eight of Spades:** Well, these multiple powers will help stop Malcolm Hex, and save the world.

**Strong Suit:** I know, but one of my teachers taught us that power can corrupt people, and he mentioned the phrase “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”.That could be the reason Malcolm Hex is so evil and why he’s so evil, he probaby has many abilites.

**Eight of Spades:** What, you’re saying I’ll turn like him? Well, you’re wrong. I am good and I always will be, so you are just jealous!

**Strong Suit:** I am not JEALOUS!

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, that’s enough you two! We need to find the other monsters, and we can't do that with the two of you arguing.

**Strong Suit:** *[begrudgingly]* Fine, we'll stop arguing.

**Ace Savvy:** Good.

*[The gang continues through the woods while Lynn and Lucy give each other dirty looks. As they were walking, they passed several dead trees.]*

**Night Club:** Uh, dudes, have you noticed that a lotta dead trees?

**Royal Flush:** Yeah, that’s right. It’s almost spring.

**Eleven of Hearts:** Maybe they’re sick.

*[Suddenly, the trees begin growing more branches and they start to move towards the Full House Gang.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** That doesn’t look sick to me!

**Ace Savvy:** Run!

*[The gang runs as fast as they can.]*

**Eight of Spades:** These trees are possessed by demons.

**Queen of Diamons:** First flowers, now trees? Why do these things make nature turn against us?!

*[Suddenly, the trees’ roots grab some of them by the legs, and dragged them away. The only ones that didn’t get caught are Night Club, Eight of Spades, and Royal Flush. The branches wrap around their wrists.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Guys, help!

**Strong Suit:** *[struggles]* They made their branches too strong for me to break free!

**Joker:** That’s not something I *wood* expect! *[laughs, but a branch wraps around her mouth]*

*[The tree forms evil faces like jack-o'-lanterns. Their branches wrap around their necks and strangle them. Night Club and Royal Flush brandish their axes.]*

**Night Club:** Don’t worry, dudes, me and Lans will rip these pieces of bark apart!

**Royal Flush:** Yeah, we wield wicked axes!

*[Night Club and Royal Flush charge at the trees and start chopping and slashing several branches, and while they're fighting, they free the other members. Royal Flush and Night Club chopped down the trees, leaving nothing but the stump.]*

**One-Eyed Jack:** Thanks, you guys saved us.

**Night Club:** Thanks, me and Lans’ make a good team!

**Royal Flush:** Yeah, we do! *[fist bumps Night Club]*

*[However, all of the tree stumps start shaking, and the trees grow back to the way they were before they got cut down. The Full House Gang became shocked.]*

**Strong Suit:** Man, these things won’t quit!

**Royal Flush:** Me and Lunes will give it one more shot!

**Night Club:** Yeah!

**Eight of Spades:** No, it won’t work. These demons gave the trees regenerative abilities. I have to expel them. *[ her hands glow and she gestures]* Elronn Evra Althos Solas Nerisnor!

*[Pull back as she finishes the spell. On the last word, she blasts beams from both hands and they hit the trees. Suddenly, darkness shoots out of the tree. The shadows form into creatures with sharp teeth and pointy ears.]*

**High Card:** It’s the demons!

**Eight of Spades:** Don’t worry, Lisa, do you have any Holy Water?

**Card Counter:** Of course, spooky sis.

*[Card Counter pulls out bottles of holy water and throws them at the demons. The heroes attack the demons and completely kill them.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, let’s go!

*[The team goes through the woods, and they end up in an open area. Just then, they hear loud stomping and large vibrations.]*

**High Card:** Now what?

*[Suddenly, giants come out of the trees. One giant had two eyes, and one was a cyclops that had one. Both of them have loincloths and pauldrons. The giant was equipped with a hammer while the Cyclops carried an axe. The giants turn their attention to the Full House Gang, and they let out roars.]*

**Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack:** Giants!

**Strong Suits:** These are bigger than Chandler’s brutes!

**Joker:** Looks like we have a *big* problem! *[laughs]* Get it? But seriously, they’re way too big.

*[The giants try to bring their weapons down on the team.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Move!

*[The Full House Gang moves out of the way as the axe and hammer hits the ground. The giants keep trying to hit them, but the heroes keep dodging their attacks.]*

**Night Club:** Don’t worry, me and Luce can fly!

*[The two heroes fly in the air, and fly around the giants.  Night Club blasts a sound wave at the Giant, then she hits him with her move the Purple Cyclone, causing him to stumble backwards. Cut to Eight of Spades throws energy balls at the Cyclops’ face. She then throws the Typhon Strike at him, knocking him back. The Cyclops gets up on one knee, but then Eight of Spades weighs his hand by using telekinesis.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Okay, I have an opening.

*[The some of the heroes come running over to the Cyclops, and they each get a hit; Ace and Jack hit him with their shields; High Card hits him with her bolas; Royal Flush and Joker smacks him with their hammers, and Queen of Diamonds hits him with mace. However, Cyclops hits Eight of Spades, causing her to fly out of the air and skids through the dirt.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Lucy!

**Eight of Spades:** I... I'm okay.

**Strong Suit:** Oh, you’re gonna pay for that you, Monocular monster!

*[Strong Suit dashes at the Cyclops and jumps in the air, and smacks him in the face. She lands on the ground. She puts down the club, goes to a tree, and pulls it out of the ground. Strong Suit throws at the Cyclops, piercing his chest. The Cyclops brings his hammwer down, but she somersaults and he ends up hitting the ground instead. She jumps up and grabs him by the teeth.]*

**Strong Suit:** Feel me! *[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 giant tries to punch her but she jumps off and the giant ends up hitting the Cyclops. Strong Suit grabs a big rock and throws it at the giant, knocking him away.]*

**Strong Suit:** Stay out of this!

*[The Cyclops comes charging at the Strong Suit and tries to smash her with his hammer, but Strong Suit catches the handle. She pulls the hammer out of his hands and then, she heaves the hammer and swings it around in a circle and then she delivers a powerful hit that knocks his eyeball out, and it goes rolling across the field. The Eyeless Cyclop falls down on his face, leaving him dead.]*

**Strong Suit:** And stay down, sucka~!

**Eleven of Hearts** Good job, Lynn! You really-*[looks off in the distance]* Lynn, look out!

**Strong Suit:** Huh?

*[Strong Suit turns around to see the Axe Wielding Giant dashing towards her. She runs at the giant, but she gets kicked across the field.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Lynn!

*[Strong Suit crashes into a tree, causing to break and fall right on top of her, knocking her out in the procces.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Oh no! Clyde and Lisa, go check if she's okay!

**One-Eyed Jack:** On it!

**Card Counter:** Affirmative.

*[Card Counter and One-Eyed Jack go over to Strong Suit while the rest of the gang deal with the giant. Eleven of Hearts throws some heart bombs at the giants, but they barely have any effect on him. Queen of Diamonds does the Diamond Splash, but it also rarely affects him. The giant swings his axe at them, but they evade the attack. Eight of Spades puts the giant’s leg and wraps his left arm in purple bands. The giant starts struggling.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Guys, I’m gonna need some help. I won’t be able to hold him any longer.

**Queen of Diamonds:** Time to whip out the ball and chain!

*[Queen of Diamonds morphs her Diamond Mace into a Diamond spiked ball and chain  She twirls her chain and hurls at the giants, it wraps around the left arms, and then she tugs on the sash extra tightly.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** I’ll help too!

*[Eleven of Hearts hurls her sash at Giant, and it wraps around the Giant's right arm. She tugs the same way Queen of Diamonds is tugging.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Okay, now what?

**Queen of Diamond:** Lori, finish it!

**High Card:** You got it!

*[High Card runs over to the orc, then she leaps in the air, and stabs in the forehead with her spear. The giant falls on his back, leaving him dead. High Card forcfully pulls the spear out of the giant’s forehead, causing green blood to splatter onto her.]*

**High Card:** I'm gonna need a bath later.

**Ace Savvy:** We did it, guys! Now let’s go to the next place!

**Eleven of Hearts:** Yeah, I really don’t like this place.

*[Cut to One-Eyed Jack shaking the Strong Suit to get her to wake up, but Lisa waves a vial of chemicals under her nose.]*

**Strong Suit:** Huh? *[coughs]* What happened?

**Ace Savvy:** Oh, Lori finished off the giant.

**Strong Suit:** Cool, but I kinda wish I could have finished it.

                                              \*\*\*

*[We cut to Malcolm Hex flying through the air, and then he finds a house.]*

**Malcolm:** Hmm, Let’s see if there are kids in that house.

*[He descends down to the ground and goes to the window. He sees a tall girl, a boy wilth glasses, and a chubby little boy.  Malcolm looks through his fingers, which make a square shape staring at the children.]*

**Malcolm:** Ah yes, these children will perfectly sacrifice victims. *[teleports]*

*[Malcom appears before the kids, which causes them to get startled.]*

**Malcolm:** Children, I, Malcolm Hex, have come for your blood!

*[The kids' eyes widen in shock. They try to scream for their parents, but Malcolm telekinetically closes their mouth shut. Malcolm then lifts up the kid.]*

**Malcolm:** Now let’s-*[hears some screaming]* Huh? I sense something.

*[Malcolm puts down the kids and continues listening out for screams.]*

**Malcolm:** Okay, I’ll be back for you later.

*[Malcolm teleports away while the kids are left petrified. The next scene shows it’s sunset and we see the Full House Gang arriving at Jean Juan’s French Mex Buffet. Several people come running out of the restaurant.]*

**High Card:** There are monsters here?! But this is where Me and Bobby went for our first date! We won't let them get away with this!

**Ace Savvy:** That’s why we’re gonna stop them.

*[The gang gets out of the van and goes inside the restaurant.* *They look around the kitchen and then they hear the sound of laughing.]*

**Joker:** Where’s that coming from?

*[The gang looks over to the kitchen doors. Joker puts her ear to the door.]*

**Ace Savvy:** That's the sound of goblins, they must be chefs. This reminds me of our tabletop RPG games.

**One-Eyed Jack:** Goblin Chefs exist in those games.

**Joker:** Why don’t we give the element of surprise?

*[Luan clears her throat and knocks on the door.]*

**Luan:** Knock knock~!

*[Beat]*

**Goblin Chef:** Who’s there?

**Joker:** Cut!

*[The goblin chef opens the door.]*

**Goblin Chef:** Cut who?

**Joker:** You eat too much so I’m *cutting* you off!

*[Joker cuts the Goblin Chef’s throat with her sickle. As the goblin falls, it reveals that the kitchen is full of goblins. The goblins are immediately caught by surprise and start scrambling about.]*

**Joker:** That’s what I call *cutting* someone’s life short! *[laughs]* Get it?

*[Several goblins brandish throwing knives and take aim at the Full House Gang. They throw knives at the gang.]*

**Eight of Spades:**Time Stop!

*[Time freezes and Eight of Spades uses her telekinesis to redirect the knives back at the goblins.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Time Resume.

*[Time unfreezes and the knives go flying back at the goblins and they stab their heads. The gang charges at the goblin and fights them. Ace and Jack stab some goblins and smacks some with their shields; Strong Suit hits them with her club, and Queen of Diamonds smash them with her diamond mace; High Card starts hitting a golbins with her bolas and stabs one with her spear.]*

**Card Counter:** Time for some more alchemy!

*[Card Counter takes her flasks and mixes several chemicals.  She then throws them at the goblins.  The concoctions explode in their faces, blinding them.  As they run around in circles panicking, Royal Flush slashes the goblins and Eleven of Hearts stabs some goblins of her own. Deuce throws some diapers at some goblins, then Night Club stabs them with her sickle. Eight of Spades throws some energy balls at some goblins and telekinetically pushes them across the kitchen; One goblin grabs a meat fork and swings at Eight of Spades, but she dodges the attack.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Necronix Culorix!

*[Eight of Spades constructs proactive shields out of energy. She blocks the swings of the goblin and pushes him forward. Eight of Spades deactivates her shield.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Orcrix Morix! *[outstretches her glowing hands]*

*[The meat fork morphs into a venomous snake. The snake bites the goblin’s arm and the goblin starts running around panicking. Then the goblin becomes woozy and falls on it’s face. Ace Savvy slashes some goblins and stabs one goblin, killing him in the process. At this point, the room is practically clear of goblins.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Okay, let’s make our next move.

**High Card:** Alright, but first we probably should clean up. We don’t want this to get this place shut down.

**Ace Savvy:** Yeah, it is an honorable thing to do.

*[The Full House Gang starts cleaning up the kitchen. While some of them clean up the normal way, Lucy uses telekinesis to mop the floor and put the dishes away.  The next scene shows it's completely nighttime, and we see the Full House Gang arrive at the mall. ]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** The mall?! He sent monsters to the mall?! *[growls]* Now Malcolm’s really gonna pay!

*[The gang goes into the mall and they find that all lights are off, and people are panicking.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Good thing Miguel and Fiona took the day off.

*[The gang hears growling and then comes several wolf-like humanoid creatures. The Full House Gang became caught off guard.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Werewolves!

**Eight of Spades:** They’re not Werewolves, they’re Wulvers. Wolf-like humanoid creatures in the folklore of the Shetland Islands of Scotland. Unlike werewolves, they’re men with a wolf's head.

**High Card:** How do you know so much about these things?

**Eight of Spades:** I read it in a book.

**Ace Savvy:** Well, we need to stop them! Full House Gang, attack!

*[The gang charges at the Wulvers; Ace Savvy slashes some wulvers and kicks one across the mall. One-Eyed Jack slashes some wulvers and throws his shield at some wulvers.  High Card stabs several wulvers and hits several more with her bolas.  Eleven of Hearts stabs some wulvers and throws heart bombs. Night Club sound blasts some wulvers and stabs three wulvers. Joker smacks a wulver with her hammer and throws her sickle at another one. Strong Suit smacks the wulver with her club, sending it flying. It lands into the fountain.]*

**Strong Suit:** Woo~! Score one for Lynnsanity!

*[Royal Flush slashes a wulver with her axe and hits another one with her hammer. Queen of Diamonds stabs a wulver with a diamond knife and smacks another one with her diamond mace. Card Counter throws some numbers at wulver, and they get shocked, then she throws some explosive flasks at some wulvers. Deue throws some diapers at wulvers. Cut to Eight of Spades floating up in the air, and the wulvers look up and growl.]*

**Eight of Spades:** By all Emotions and Tones/ Bring myself clones!

*[Suddenly, several clones of Eight of Spades pop up in the air. Eight of Spades and her clones charge up their hands and blast several energy blasts at the wulvers, destroying them in the process. The spell wears off as all the clones phase back in her body. She lands back on the ground.]*

**Strong Suit:** Like I said, overpowered.

**Eight of Spades:** And like *I* said, Jealous.

*[Strong Suit growls at her.]*

**High Card:** Not now, you two! There might be more on the way.

*[Just then, they hear loud stomping and large vibrations.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Actually, there’s just one.

*[From the shadow comes a three headed dog. The creature snarls at the gang and lets out a large roar that nearly blows them back .]*

**Royal Flush:** What is this thing?!

**Eight of Spades:** It’s a cerberus. In Greek mythology, it used to guard the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. But this one hails from the Dark World, which means it didn’t exist in this world.

*[The Cerberus charges at the Full House Gang and tries to chomp them, but they move out of the way. Strong Suit fires some arrows at the Cerberus while they hurt the multi-headed dog, it tries to swipe at Strong Suit; however, she jumps over its paw. High Cad jumps on the dog’s back and starts stabbing it, but the Cerberus swipes her off with its leg as if she were a flea. Eleven of Hearts comes running in.]*

**Eleven of Hearts:** Eat these! *[throws three heart bomb]*

*[The three heads eat the bombs and burp out smoke.]*

**Royal Flush:** It didn’t work!

**One-Eyed Jack:** How do we defeat this thing?

**Eight of Spades:** We need to take its heads.

**Ace Savvy:** Good idea! Gang Move!

*[The Full House Gang charge at the Cerberus.  Night Club hits it with a sound wave; Joker smacks it with her hammer; High Card hits it with her bolas; Strong Suit hits it with a club, and then Royal Flush jumps on the middle dog’s neck, and starts hacking and slashing it with her axe, but then the Cerberus shakes her off. Just then, Eleven of Hearts lassos the right dog’s neck and pulls so hard the neck completely snaps.]*

**High** **Card:** Whoah! Nice job, Leni!

**Joker:** Yeah, taking out the first neck was a *snap*! *[laughs]*

*[Suddenly, the Cerberus whips them with its tail, knocking them across the mall. Joker runs back to fight. Joker lunges over to its tail,and cuts it off with her sickle. Cerberus yelps in pain as Eight of Spade puts the left dog’s neck in a telekinetic hold. She then weighs it down on the floor.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Luan, Lana, I gave you guys an opening!

**Royal Flush:** Thanks, Luce!

**Joker:** Yeah, our attacks will be a hit! *[laughs]*

*[Joker and Royal Flush rush over to the left dog, they jump in the air, and smash its neck. The Cereberus breaks free of Lucy’s grasp., and lets out a large roar, sending her flying backward.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Clyde, we’d better assist!

**One-Eyed Jack:** Yeah!

*[The duo rush over to the head, and start jumping and slashing its neck. However, the Cerberus backhands them both, causing them to crash into the wall. The Cerberus charges at the rest of the gang, but Eight of Spades wraps bands around its neck.]*

**Eight of Spade** Oh no you don’t.

*[The Cereberus starts running around the mall, and Eight of Spades flying behind. The rest of the gang see this play out, but then Strong Suit looks over to a column.]*

**Strong Suit:** I know to stop it!

*[Strong Suit runs over to the column and starts punching it. The Cerberus bolts over to the rest of the gang.]*

**Strong Suit:** Come on, Lynn, go faster!

*[Strong Suit delivers a fast barrage of punches to the column, and finally throws one more punch to cause the column to tumble down. The Cerberus comes into the shadow of the falling column, and it crashes onto its neck, and because of gashes on its neck, it gets its head cut off as a result.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Nice job, Lynn!

**Strong Suit:** I’m not called Strong Suit for nothing~! *[kisses her bicep]*

**Ace Savvy:** We did it, guys. Now let’s find-*[they hear explosion in the distance]*

*[They look off in the distance and see that it came from the entrance. Coming out from smoke is Malcolm Hex, who is levitating and has his hands behind his back.]*

**Ace Savvy:** It’s you.

**Eight of Spades:** Malcolm hex.

**Malcolm:** Yes, your worst nightmare.

*[Malcolm descends to the floor and crosses his arms.]*

**Malcolm:** So you’re the ones who are killing my monsters.

**Eleven of Hearts:** What?!

**High Card:** How did you know?

**Malcolm:** I’m telepathically linked to these monsters. Did you really think I wouldn’t keep track of my minions? *[scoffs]* Please, what kind of fool do you take for?

**Eight of Spades:** A kind of fool that would let the earth die just for glory.

**Malcolm:** It’ll all be worth it, because I’ll be a bigger and better ruler.

**Strong Suit:** You’re gonna be ruling a world filled with nothing but monsters!

**Malcolm:** It doesn’t matter in the slightest! It will be my finest achievement, and I will not let you interfere!

**Ace Savvy:** Try and stop us!

*[The members of the Full House Gang take defensive stances.]*

**Malcolm:** So be it.

*[Malcolm strikes by summoning several energy spears, and then he throws them at the gang, but they bound away from the attack. Ace puts his sword and takes his grappling gun; he fires it at Malcolm and it wraps around Hex’s wrist. He propels himself over to Malcolm to try and punch him in the face, but Malcolm telekinetically suspends him in midair, and throws him to the wall. Strong Suit fires some arrows, but Malcolm redirects them back at her, but she dodge them. Night Club flies over to Malcolm and hits him with a sound wave, sending him flying backward; Joker jumps and hits him with her hammer; Eight of Spades telekinetically grabs him, allowing Eleven of Hearts to throw a cluster of heart bombs at Malcolm. Eight of Spades throws him across the mall, knocking him into a wall.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Alright, guys, let get him!

*[All of the members charge at Malcolm. Once Malcolm regains his bearing, he sees the Full House Gang running towards him.]*

**Malcolm:** ENOUGH!

*[Malcolm unleashes a wave of green energy and it flies at the Full House Gang. The Gang stops and gasps.]*

**Eight of Spades:** *[cross her arm]* Protection Spell!

*[Eight of Spades forms a transparent barrier around herself, but the rest of the gang become enveloped in a green aura, stunning them in the process. They all get lifted up in the air.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Oh no, I didn’t outstretch my arms in time.

**Ace Savvy:***[with great effort]* Lucy...

**High Card:** Help.

**Malcolm:** Forget those kids, you all will make perfect human sacrifices! With or without your pitiful dark sister!

*[Malcolm opens up a portal and he brings the rest of the Full House Gang with him.]*

**Eight of Spades: No!** *[runs towards the portal. It closes just before she can reach it]* I’m too late. *[falls on her knees and covers her face]* What am I gonna do? I let them down, I let everyone on earth down. If he sacrifices them, all of the monsters from the Dark World will burn this planet to the ground.

*[Lucy uncovers her face, letting tears run down her cheeks, she sulks in shame. Lucy then clenches fist and bashes it on the floor.]*

**Eight of Spades:** No, no! What am I doing here just feeling sorry for myself? I made a promise that I would stop Malcolm and save the world, and I will keep that promise.

*[Eight of Spades stands up with her head held high.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Just need to find where Malcolm is keeping them.

*[Eight of Spades’ hands start glowing and blast a beam, creating a portal. She ends up on the third floor of the Loud Mansion.]*

**Eight of Spades:** According to the spell books, to locate a person one must use a strand of hair from the person you’re looking for, or someone that has the same DNA as the person you’re looking for, and form it into a portal. *[turns to the viewers]* Now if you’re wondering why I can’t just use my own hair, it’ll only work if I use my siblings’ hair strands.

*[Eight of Spades goes into the bathroom and finds bathroom trash full of blonde hair.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Good thing Lori shaved her hair last week.

*[Eight of Spades takes the strand and scans it with purple energy, briefly turning into the Ace symbol in the process. She finally turns it into a portal.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Okay, guys, here I come.

*[Eight of Spades jumps into the portal. She then arrives at Malcolm’s house.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Here it is.

*[She goes inside the house and goes up a large stair, and then she enters a hallway with some  doors on both sides. Eight of Spades looks around for a second until she goes through a door on the left side. Eight of Spades enters the library.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Malcolm has a library too? I have to say I’m impressed.

*[She walks past the book cases until she spots a book. Out of curiosity, Lucy pulls it out of the shelf.]*

**Eight of Spades:** The cover’s blank. I wonder why.

*[Eight of Spades opens the book and turns the page. She turns the page and finds the words “Dear Diary”.]*

**Eight of Spades:** It’s a diary. Malcolm Hex's diary. Hmmm, maybe this contains his weaknesses, and it’ll help defeat him. *Dear diary, this was the most accelerating day of my life! Monday, September 9, 1930, I discovered my father’s old spell book. It was dusty, but that didn’t stop from engrossing myself in the book. I found several tricks, spells, and incantations. They sounded so mystical and magical, I could barely maintain composure. I studied and practiced several spells very carefully, and when I got through the whole book, I had over a thousand spells in my head. I let the magic course through my veins. I felt all the power at my fingertips, and I can use all the powers at once! I feel like a god!  An absolute god!  With all these powers, I could be better than everyone else in the world, and I get anything I want; Money, Fame, Riches, and especially Great Power!*

*[Eight of Spades closes the book and puts it back on the book shelf.]*

**Eight of Spades:** I had the same feeling when I first got my magic powers. By the words of that diary, he became arrogant. I became that way when Lynn said I was overpowered and I didn’t listen. After Malcolm got his power, he grew a lust for powers, and that’s why he went after the Demon Dagger. Sigh, Lynn was right, power does corrupt. I wanted magical abilities so bad I almost became Malcolm. *[continues walking]* I know what I must do when this is over. *[turns herself invisible]*

*[We cut to the rest of the Full House Gang chain-strapped to the wall. Lit candles are around them and Malcolm wipes down his dagger.]*

**Malcolm:** Perfect.

**Ace Savvy:** Can’t you see? You’ll be the last human on earth!

**Malcolm:** I don’t care, as I long rule over this planet.

**Royal Flush:** But monsters are mindless and they crave destruction wherever they go.

**Malcolm:** Like I said, it doesn’t matter in the slightest. It’ll be my Glorious Purpose. Now, who should I choose first?

*[The Full House Gang gasps. Strong Suit tries to break free of the chains, but she fails.]*

**Malcolm:** Struggle all you want, but you can’t break free. I put a spell that will keep you from breaking the chains. *[turn his attention to Lily]* Why don’t I start with the baby?

**Ace Savvy:** Lily!

*[Lily gasps and starts tearing up as Malcolm raises his dagger. Malcolm starts laughing maniacally before bringing the dagger down on Lily. She flinches and closes her eyes, but then Malcolm’s dagger phases right through Lily’s body, leaving her without a scratch.]*

**Deuce:** Huh?

**The rest of the gang:** Huh?

**Malcolm:** What the-?!

*[Malcolm tries to stab his hand, but the dagger phases through it.]*

**Malcolm:** What is this?!

**Eight of Spades’ voice:** An Intangibility Hex.

**High Card:** Wait, is that….?

*[Eight of Spades appears far behind Malcolm.]*

**The rest of the gang:** Lucy~!

**Eight of Spades:** It will only wear off if I lift the spell or if I get killed, which I know both won’t happen.

**Malcolm:** And what are you doing here?

**Eight of Spades:** Stopping you from sacrifcing them and destroying this world.

**Malcolm:** You’re just like Harriet, trying to stand in the way of my glory. *[looks at Lucy’s hair]* In fact, judging by your hair, you are the descendant of Harriet Loud. *[turns to the rest of the gang]* And so are the rest of you.

**Eight of Spades:** That’s right, my grandma has you stopped several decades ago, and now it’s my turn. I challenge you to a sorcerer’s duel.

**Malcolm:** A Sorcerer’s Duel, eh? Very well then, but I should warn you, you won’t have a chance. I’m much older and more experienced than you.

**Eight of Spades:** True, but I’ve fought plenty of people that are older than me.

**Malcolm:** Astonishing, I’ll admit that. First we bow to each other

*[Eight of Spades just forms a fighting pose.]*

**Malcolm:** Come on now, Little Loud, Harriet would not want you to forget your manners, now would she?

*[beat]*

**Malcom:**I said bow!

*[Malcolm forces Eight of Spades to bow with his telekinesis.]*

**Malcolm:** That's better. And now...*[his hands glow]*let us dance.

*[The Sorccer’s Duel commences; Eight of Spades starts swiftly throwing several energy balls at Malcolm Hex, but he quickly dodges the attack and fires several green energy balls out of both hands. Eight of Spades trudges past the balls, and jumps over Malcolm; while in the air, Eight of Spades fires energy balls at Malcolm Hex; She then telekinetically pushes him forwards. Malcolm blasts at Eight of Spades, but she blocks it with her energy shield.Malcolm spins and sends a sudden blast of green energy toward Eight of Spades. Eight of Spades brings her hands up and jumps forward, bringing his arms down in front of her. Eight of Spades blasts at Malcolm, sending him forward. Malcolm then comes running back at Lucy.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Come on.

*[Eight of Spades flies up, and Malcolm flies after her.]*

**Strong Suit:** Come on, Luce, you can take him!

*[While in the air, Eight of Spades and Malcolm Hex blasts several energy balls at each other, but they collide with each other, creating an explosion that knocks them both back. They circle each other in the air.]*

**Malcolm:** On guard....Swift Strike!

*[Malcolm fires the swift strike at Eight of Spades, but she blocks it with her shield. Eight of Spades pushes him into the book case. Malcolm gets back up and teleports six knives. Eight of Spades gasps. Malcolm throws the knives at Eight of Spades.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Grind to a halt!

*[As Time stops, Eight of Spades charges up his hands. She then throws six energy balls at the knives. Eight of Spades unfreezes time, then the energy balls hit the knives, destroying them. Malcolm smirks as he comes to a realization.]*

**Malcolm:** Ah, you can freeze time too? Your grandmother used to do that.

*[Malcolm rushes at Eight of Spades, but she telekinetically grabs Malcolm and throws him against another bookcase. Malcolm then telekinetically pushes Eight of Spades against a bookcase. Malcolm flies up, and raises his hands.]*

**Malcolm:** Flaming Skulls of Hades!

*[Malcolm throws the skulls at Eight of Spades, but she blasts them to pieces. Eight of Spades rushes at Malcolm, and starts blasting at him, but he teleports in several different directions. Eight of Spades then duplicates herself, and ensnares Malcolm with her binding spell. Energy cascades down bands, and shocks Malcolm. The clones and other bands phase back together, and Eight of Spades throws him across the room. Malcolm charges at Eight of Spades, and hits her in the stomach with an energy blast.]*

**Eight of Spades:** *[holds her stomach and groans in pain]* I won’t give up.

*[Malcolm conjures a small black ball of dark energy.]*

**Malcolm:**Instant Death Spell!

*[Malcolm throws the attack at Eight of Spades, but she conjures ball composed of fire and wind.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Typhon Strike!

*[Eight of Spades throws the attack, and it collides with the Instant Death Spell, creating that sends them both falling down to the floor. They both get back on their feet, and Malcolm starts making his hands glow.]*

**Malcolm:** Alright, it is time for us to end this!

**Eight of Spades:** I couldn’t agree more.

*[Malcolm charges up his hands while Eight of Spades snaps her fingers, and teleports his shovel. Eight of Spades put both hands on the handle, and held it against her face. She then begins pouring high amounts of magic into the shovel until it is fully charged. Malcolm’s hands grew massive balls of energy, cut to Eight of Spades raising her shovel, then waving it in around circles. Finally, she thrusts her shovel with one hand, discharging a large purple beam, and then Malcolm fires a green beam, and both of their beams collide, creating a beam struggle. The beams start shifting back and forth. Malcolm poured more energy into his beam, and it started to push back Eight of Spade’s beam, sending the former skidding backward. Eight of Spades grunted as she tried to repel the blast. Cut to a close-up of Malcolm Hex’s face as an evil grin glides across his face.]*

**Malcolm:** YOU’RE FINISHED!

*[Zoom out as Malcolm’s beam disintegrates Lucy’s beam, and it engulfs Lucy; there is a large flash which prompts the other members to close their eyes. Once the heroes open their eyes, they gasp as they only see Malcolm Hex and Lucy’s shovel lying on the floor.]*

**Malcolm:** I did it.

**The rest of the gang:** LUCY!!

*[Lily starts crying]*

**Malcolm:** Enough! Forget one at a time, I’ll just sacrifice you all at once!

*[Malcolm levitates the Demon Dagger and brings it higher in the air. The dagger aims down at the gang. Malcolm then casts a duplication spell on the dagger, creating nine more daggers.]*

**Ace Savvy:** *[tears up]* Guys, I want you to know that-that I love you all...*[voice breaks]*… and I'm so happy - so happy - to be on a team with you.

*[Everyone formed tears in their eyes, and they smiled at Lincoln. Just then, Malcolm thrusts his arm forward, pointing at the Full House Gang. The daggers come flying down towards the Full House Gang. As the daggers come down, the team begin trembling in fear at the impending doom that's about to hit them.]*

**Malcolm:** GLORIOUS PURPOSE!!!

*[Malcolm Hex laughs with maniacal and sinister delight. Suddenly, once the daggers hit the kids’ bodies, they shatter to pieces right before their eyes. Everyone is left flabbergasted.]*

**Malcolm:** WHAT?!?!

**One-Eyed Jack:** They just...shattered.

**Ace Savvy:** But how?

**???:** Because of me.

*[The gang gasps]*

**Ace Savvy:** Lucy?

*[Just then, Lucy appeared before them, but she was transparent while keeping her same colors from before.]*

**Queen of Diamonds:** Are you dead, and is this your ghost?

**Eight of Spades:** No, I just separated myself from my body, allowing myself to be an astral projection.

**Malcolm:** But I thought I destroyed you.

**Eight of Spades:** You *thought* you did. What really happened was that I turned myself intangible and invisible. Then when you thought I was dead, I made your dagger tangible, and to avoid you thinking I wasn't dead, I acquired this form then I discreetly cast a protection spell around my siblings and friend.

*[A transparent barrier shines around the other members, causing the members to smile in relief. Eight of Spades goes back in her body, and she gets up. ]*

**Malcolm:** *[growls]* This isn’t over, I’ll find a way to open to the Dark World, I will! *[his hands glow]*

**Eight of Spades:** **No!**

*[Eight of Spades blasts at Malcolm, causing him to fly backward and slam on the floor.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Your being is too dark and demented for this world to endure, I must send you to a place where you can’t hurt other mortals. A place where you’ll have no use of your magic. A place where the demons are against you. A place where you’ll spend the rest of eternity suffering.

**Malcolm:** *[gasps]* You don’t mean…

**Eight of Spades:** Oh, I mean. *[her hands start glowing, and she gestures]* Eclispo Mephisto Palispso Caliypso!

*[She lets a shockwave of energy disperse across the house. There is a pause as they all wait for a spell to happen.]*

**Ace Savvy:** What happens now?

**Eight of Spades:** Wait for it.

*[Suddenly, a small flame ignites on the floor.  Several more flames begin to kindle, creating a large circle. Then a large hole opens up, and a whirlpool of fire begins to form inside the hole. One book begins shaking, and then all the other books shake as well. Just then, they all go flying into the fiery abyss.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Gasp. Guys, we have to get out of here.

*[Eight of Spades’ hands glow then she aims them at the chains, breaking Malcolm’s spell.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Come on!

*[The heroes start running towards the door. As they were running, the walls, floors, and the stairs begin to rip apart, and get sucked into the flame vortex. Then all of the furniture gets sucked as well. Before Malcolm can run away, large fiery hands rise out from the portal, and grab onto Malcolm’s legs. They then drag him across the floor towards the abyss.]*

**Malcolm:** *[screams in terror]* NO! this can’t be! I am the mighty MACOLM HEX!!! *[he gets pulled into the portal, but he grabs the ledge]* **I... AM... MALCOLM HEEEEEEEEEX!**

*[He screams as he is forced to let go of the ledge and be dragged down to the bottom of the portal. Cut to the heroes going outside the house. They then watch as the entire house is engulfed into the portal. There is a moment of silence for a good, long while.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Where did everything go?

**Eight of Spades:** Well, I can't say it, but let’s just say Malcolm and his house got sent to the underworld.

**High Card:** Huh, that makes sense.

**???:** Well done, my child.

**Royal Flush:** Huh?

**Joker:** What was that?

*[The heroes turn around to see the ghost of Great Grandma Harriet appear before them.]*

**Harriet:** You did it, Lucy. You defeated Malcolm Hex. Now the world can rest easily knowing that you vanquished the evil sorcerer.

**Eight of Spades:** *[smiles]* Well, my siblings help with his monsters, so you should be giving them praise too.

**Harriet:** Oh, yes. Where are my manners?  *[floats over to the rest of the gang]* Thank you, your ancestors would be proud.

**High Card:** It was no problem.

**Eleven of Hearts:** It’s what heroes like us do.

**Ace Savvy:** If we can save the city, we can definitely save the world.

*[Harriet floats back over to Lucy.]*

**Harriet:** Now that you’ve mastered the basic spells in the Spell Book, you can learn all the others.

*[Lucy thinks for a moment.]*

**Eight of Spades:** Actually, I think I’m done with spells.

**Harriet:** Why?

**Eight of Spades:** Well, it’s just that when Malcolm Hex studied thousands of spells, he became corrupted and lusted for power.

**Harriet:** But he had Dark Magic while you have Gray Magic.

**Eight of Spades:** I know, but for a brief moment I became arrogant like Malcolm. Like I was better than everyone else, like I didn’t need a team. Besides, I should listen to Lincoln’s advice, you can be a superhero with or without actual superpowers.

**Harriet:** *[sadly]* Oh. I see.

**Eight of Spades:** But that doesn’t mean I won't use spells again. I’ll use them, but only if it's a World Threatening Emergency.

**Harriet:** *[smiles]* You’re a good kid, Lucy. I’m still proud of you. Farewell, my children. *[fades away]*

*[Suddenly, the other members embrace Lucy.]*

**Ace Savvy:** Thank you for saving us, Lucy. We thought we were gonna die if you didn’t show up.

**Eight of Spades:** You’re welcome. I would never let my siblings die. *[to Lynn]* Also, Lynn, I’m sorry for what I said to what I said to you, I let the power go to my head.

**Strong Suit:** Aw, it’s alright. I’m just happy that we and the whole world are safe.

**Eight of Spades:** Yeah, me too.

*[The kids continue to hold each other as the camera zooms out.]*

      \*\*\*

*[We cut to Lucy and Edwin in the attic where Lucy is putting the Book of Spells back in the trunk.]*

**Lucy:** Well, Edwin, today was a good day to perform some spells, but I can’t wait to go back to my normal fighting life. *[checks her phone]* Oh, it’s almost eight, Vampires of Melancholia is about to start. Well, Edwin, shall we? *[picks up]*

*[Lucy goes downstairs to the first floor, but she finds her siblings and Clyde on the couch. She sees popcorn, red cherry soda, and cups on the table.]*

**Lincoln:** Hey Lucy.

**Lucy:** Hey. I see you guys are about to watch the Dream Boat.

**Lincoln:** Actually Lucy…

**Lori:** We’re all gonna watch Vom together.

**Leni:** Yeah, why do you think we got cherry soda? It’s red like blood.

**Luan:** And this popcorn is garlic flavored. We were gonna get cheesy flavored, but the idea of garlic *popped* in our heads! *[laughs]* Get it?

**Lucy:** Well,I can understand Lori and Leni, but the rest of you?

**Lynn:** Well, even though vampires aren’t our thing…

**Lincoln:** This is our way of saying thank you for saving us. Plus, as an added bonus…!

*[They turn around for a second, and then the kids smile, revealing them wearing pairs of vampire fangs.]*

**Lucy:** Aw, you guys are the best.

*[Lucy runs to the couch and sits next to Lincoln. Lincoln then picks up the remote, and turns on the TV.]*

**Spooky TV Announcer:** You're watching Fright TV, up next, *Vampires of Melancholia*.

**Lincoln:** One more thing, thanks for taking my advice.

**Lucy:** Of course. You know how to give the best advice.

*[Lucy rests her head against Lincoln’s shoulder, and he wraps his arm around her shoulder.]*

                                       **The End**
